Hi everyone,
I have an HTC Desire (UNBRANDED/UNLOCKED) from Vodafone DE, and today, while I was searching for updates (MENU>SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATES), the following update was available for download:
OTA_BRAVO_FROYO_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_RELEASE4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip
Last time a software update was offered (OTA_BRAVO_VODAFONE_UK_1.24.161.3-1.19.161.5_RELEASEUJUPDPJMMTQ8X7GA.ZIP), I made the mistake to download it and install it, just to find out that it was full of the Vodafone 360 CRAP. What a nightmare that was.
Well, I managed (with help of XDA-Forums, and others) to get it unbranded and unlocked again with an original HTC software (1.21.405.2).
Bottom line is that I would like to make sure that the new software update won't have the VF 360 crap again before I update my phone.
P.S.
Attached is an screenshot of the offered OTA Update.

Atmaui,
After having owned an Himalaya, Blue Angel, Hermes and Diamond, I'm pretty new to Android and still on the learning curve (had my desire for 4 days).
I just wanted to thank you for the path to firmware upgrade. Simple, trivial and even stupid, but I was still wondering how to get there...
Again, big thanks
Hal
Hey,
I heard that there is an official OTA Update for the HTC DS and i saw it on gsmarena.com and forum.xda-developers HTC DS general so is there any way to check for OTA Updates
Try Settings/About phone/Software information/ - Menu/Check for updates
What I have tried, in most custom ROMs this choice is disabled.
Still on stock can't press menu in software info
HTC Desire S S-ON
Stock Official ROM
Hi... I am here in the Philippines and wanted to flash my DS using the RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.
0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe found on the stock shipped ROMs. I just want to ask the following:
1. Since it's a Europrean release, is it compatible for my DS in the Philippines?
2. Will I still be able to receive and install future official OTA updates after flashing this ROM?
3. What's new with this release compared to the prior 2.3.5 release?
I am thinking of flashing since HTC hasn't released the official OTA in Asia yet. I heard it might be end of December. Couldn't wait no more... TIA.

1. To flash a version for different region you will have to use a goldcard. Once installing it, there is no more warranty for you even when it is Stock, since you bought your phone in the Philippines with the local stock version on it. Using the European can also affect the performance, for example the baseband of your mobile carrier can be different, and the radio can have some differences accordingly.
2. You will receive and be able to install all future updates for Europe. But to repeat again - even using Stock, but for another region if you have problems with the device this is an indication that you have changed the software = no warranty.
3. There is some change in the libraries. Up to this moment the reported imporovement, as far as I know is a working Exchange synchronisation
In general if you insist on using Stock software on your phone is better to wait for an official update for your region.
Thanks for that information. I guess I'll have to keep on waiting. Thanks a lot
Hello Everyone,
I just received a notification that a new software update is available for my HTC Chacha here in India: 1.57.720.3
I am currently on 1.57.720.1 and have unlocked and rooted the device (no custom rom installed)
I have a question:
If I update to this version, will I have to root my phone again? If not, then what is the benefit to update to this version??
Should I update?? I don`t want to lose my root ability.
Don't update, you will have to re root. If I were you I would get cm7 or cm9 they run very well and are much better than the stock ROM

Tried what?
Those listed there on htcdev are NOT ROMs. Those are kernels. You download those and then get the android source code from google, then build android for yourself using those kernels. Which should be for ICS but it has been discussed in the dev section and they seem to be for GB.
Further more, I have compared the 4.0 India and the 2.3 India and only 3 GPIO files have been modified. So it's GB kernel with 4 more lines of code.
So Alex C.
1. this is not ICS?
2. Will i get it stable on my chacha!!

Where did you buy your phone, in what country? By the version number, that you indicated, it seems that your rom is Euro and you should have an update. I am on 2.21 now, which came after. Check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781033
