Using a Maxis set, still no luck with the OTA

Guess it wouldn't come that soon to us?

Froyo updated, quick and easy.  First update failed as I didn't have more than 25MB of space on my phone.  Else installation took about 5 minutes. 

1) Interface looks to be roughly the same.
2) Faster response on home screen. 
3) A few new apps, including 720p video, wifi hotspots for tethering, some new widgets, flashlight, a cuter call screen, updated messages, so typing is easier etc.
4) The update kept all the settings on the phone and apps on the phone as they are.  Broken link for voice search, not end of the world.
5) 270 deg rotation.
6) App on SDCard.  Needs to be supported by app though.

Using a Europe set? I guess for "6" it's a manual migration process then

Just FYI - This has problem at the moment guys (having problem at the moment I make this post, but may be fixed already as you read).... I think the TS made some issue on the script (TS - 42turkeys)

Got a guide from Chinese forum. It looks like we need to flash it to ver1.2.1 first in order to update Froyo ROM.
But my question is will we lost the warranty from Maxis or SiS?
*
Not sure, I guess it's up to SIS

It's probably the same as what the guy posted earlier:

install this RUU ROM:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/RUU_...6984_signed.exe

It's an original UNROOTED World Wide English HTC Desire ROM. It has no English(US) locale though. I'm using this. icon_rolleyes.gif
*
And my guess is, you should be able to OTA after that (no need to do manual update anymore)

I think I give it up for now - can live with 2.1 although the chinese BBS posted by chding may work (just not willing to change the identity of the phone as I'm not a risk taker)

At the same time sent SiS an email on any idea of timing for us to get the official froyo OTA

When I asked when is the OTA released for SEA users, I got this response from SiS

QUOTE
Dear Sir,

Thanks for your support to SiS Malaysia.
For the HTC Desire rom upgrade, HTC will advice the update on the www.htc.com support section, and the update may send over the air to your device via mobile internet/wifi.

If they don't know, then just say don't know la....lol

At least better than SIS' reply - "You will be notified when it's available"

I think I may as well wait since I'm not going into the custom ROM route

I suggest you to either, try getting a Ubuntu Live CD, which doesn't require installation or get yourself an XP. I tried Unrevoked with XP without any problem smile.gif And its aint too hard to do it with Linux either. All you need is to start the terminal / download the Unrevoked, one click and you are done smile.gif

Btw, which rooted original FroYo are you guys using?

Using this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775

Pretty much a stock Desire Sense with Froyo 2.2 + Busybox

I just got Maps [brut] installed with voice navigation thumbup.gif

great to see u joining the "darkside" btw  rclxms.gif. You should have a try at Neophyte and Leedroid roms. They both are very active at updating and considered the rom of the people. They follow up with users request and done some customizing a lil bit (except on neophyte which is using the expressobar mod). Both have done well releasing good sense froyo rom since the froyo leak.
*
Downloading Leedroid 1.7 now... maybe I should give it a try later

With phone rooted and new radio installed, I guess I just need to run titanium backup, nandroid backup and flash the ROM, then restore titanium backup right?

If I don't really need A2SD+, i don't really have to partition my SD card right?

The stock ROM. Loving it.

And I guess maliqu3's tutorial need some changes. Will write one later as I'm in office now laugh.gif

Good, I am using that as well, Leedroid ROM 1.7 is giving me some headache (not able to install app from market, restarts everytime I install) - luckily the nandroid recovery stuff works!

QUOTE(DecaPix @ Aug 3 2010, 05:37 PM)
i got unrevoked working with Win 7 x64 eh.

But windows only recognize the fat32 portion.
it wont merge the ext2 back to the fat32

Yeah, I am wondering how to remove it as well

I guess formatting the SD card won't help?

EDIT: Formatting from the phone works - of course, backup whatever data you have first

Hi bro, I planned to install Leedroid ROM 1.7, mind sharing on the problems you are facing using it.
*
I used ROM manager to install Lee Droid ROM 1.7 (with wipe data and backup options)

After the first boot, I had to go to Market to download Tatanium backup to do the restore, but it reboots every time I attempt to install any application. Been reading around - apparently not many people encounter this. Maybe I should try the "Fix permission" stuffs in ROM Manager first?

Saw that in XDA Developer, but I could use GPS navigation without problem... what exactly is your issue?

I can't tweet using location though, for some reasons
