WARNING: Only do this if you do not wish to root ur phone anytime soon. There is no way to root a phone on FroYo with Hboot v0.92 yet at this post point of time. And your apps and data in root will be gone as well. Do not proceed if u do not know what is what.

There is a way to downgrade your hboot to 0.80 now.

For those who confuse with the official Desire thread I decide to come up with what I did to install FroYo on my Maxis Desire. And for those who think AP > Maxis, you are not exactly right. The hardware are basically more or less the same, only the ROM is different which can be changed. brows.gif

Before installing the following, you will need a gold card.
Refer here:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

For those who have build 1.21.XXX or older, download and install this:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/RUU_...6984_signed.exe
(RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe)
This link is a standard World Wide English ROM which do not have Asian or US English locales. Most likely to be used on retail sets. icon_idea.gif

At this point, I not sure whether According KTCY, you will need a gold card for this ROM installation. After making the gold card, just double click this installer and follow the instructions. U might need to get the bootloader driver if you don't have it. And yes this should be a fool-proof installation as no Shell commands will be needed in the process. Just click a few stuff only.

After installing this ROM, your <insert provider> HTC Desire/Bravo will have the same ROM as any retail set. After that, just connect your phone to WiFi or 3G whichever u prefer and then:

1) press the "menu" button
2) press "settings"
3) drag the menu to the bottom and press "About Phone"
4) press "System software updates".
5) press "Check now" at the bottom of the screen
6) download and install the update.

In the event that your phone shows "No new updates available", try this:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Notes:
*This should get rid of the status 7 error but to bear in mind that you will have a UNROOTED FroYo DESIRE with Hboot 0.92.
*RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.6_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_rel_124362.exe is an Asian Locale ROM and cannot be upgraded to FroYo ATM.

Due to the fact that the above RUU ROM is international, no default APN settings are configured on them. Only official ROMs from your respective service provider will have the APN settings.
Any1 need to re set the APN settings for 3G refer spoiler:

Maxis and Celcom 3G APN settings:

Not an official as we're not entitled for FOTA at this moment.
We're using another way to get FOTA.

Apparently the Transcend 8Gb Class 6 - MicroSDHC cannot be made GoldCard.
I have done everything up to the point of pasting the Goldcard.img to the Card.

However, it makes the card un-readable.

Anybody have that experience?

Should I just use the original micro-sd card that came with the Maxis phone and make it into a Gold Card?
How do I later transfer the "Gold-card" files to the new (Transcend) card?

If not mistaken, Gold card is not needed once you finish rooting. So you can use the original 2gb card which come with and once done, you can plug in your card

This is an official FroYo upgrade for NON Asian World Wide English version of Desire. This is sort of fun but that's not the point tongue.gif . This is for those who can't wait for Asia version of FroYo... laugh.gif
