Just noticed today that the Telus Desire HD (Same exact hardware as the Inspire with the 2 mics and same radio) is getting the Android 2.3.5 update with 3.0 Sense. This is good news I would imagine for Inspire Users. It means a base for the Inspire for 2.3.5 has been created with the correct drivers. Also it increases the chances that an official ATT Inspire build may just be released.

where to get the link ?
At this point I haven't seen an actual RUU yet. Although I assume it will soon surface. The update is being given by OTA at the present.
I just got the OTA update and applied it to the Telus ROM and it's running on my Inspire right now. Seems to work 100% out of the box. I'll put a rooted ROM together and hopefully have it out tomorrow.
Edit: Posted a rooted ROM from this here:

I was wondering if when HTC does an OS update (to 2.3 soon I hope for desire hd/inspire) does it contain new radio as well? In DHD forum (radio thread) do all those radios come from newer htc phones, or is it something that htc updates and delivers via OTA?
thanks
We won't know until it comes out.
I mean based on the past releases... Inspire is my first android phone so I don't know
I pulled this from HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.6.exe. I believe that you just need to rename it to HERCIMG.zip and then boot into HBOOT via VOL-DN and PWR.

I may be wrong on the numbers. but the RUU Ver I stated was right. I'm a noob in this area. But I flashed that to my phone and those are the numbers I saw.
can you extract the stock recovery for me and zip it in a HERCIMG.zip and post it? I would be very appreciative
is this a new update thats coming soon?

This is a maintenance release for our Hero's back in November of 2010 and is 2.1
no this isnt new sprint hasnt sent an official update sense November this is the ruu they sent out back in april im pretty sure
http://www.talkandroid.com/21754-sprint-hero-maintenance-release-2-32-651-2-now-available/
This was the update that came with the Sprint Zone application. This is what I had installed prior to rooting back in December 2010.
OK, I appreciate all of the feed back. This is a file I pulled from the most recent ruu on the sprint site. It is definitely 2.1. I will get the correct numbers for you all tomorrow. I used a similar file to put my hero to stock as I run linux and couldn't RUU. This one is a little more recent than the one that was previously posted on this forum.
The Asian WWE for Gingerbread DesireHD was released a few weeks ago and just yesterday the Telus Gingerbread OTA update went out so it is likely that we'll see a US AT&T Gingerbread update for the Inspire very soon.
Now the caution:
So far, there is no known way to get root once these updates are installed. HTC has officially announced that they plan to make their ROMs more open in the future, but, since these updates are already in the pipeline and being pushed to other markets, it may be awhile before official HTC policy catches up with ROMs in the wild. The current crop of ROMs, if installed via OTA updates, will LOCK YOUR DEVICE against being able to root. Until devs figure out how to work around the holes HTC has plugged, DON'T APPLY ANY OTA UPDATES!
This only applies to users of stock roms on non-S-OFF devices. If you already are rooted with S-OFF, then you probably are running a custom ROM and don't have to worry. Even if you are running a relatively stock ROM with S-OFF, you'll probably be OK, but if you have yet to root your device, BEWARE; don't accept any OTA updates until devs have figured this out.

Dought we will have to worry about this as ATT will have to approve of it first and it will be awhile before that happens.After talking to a few old friends it will be a few months till we see the update.
Why would anyone with a rooted Inspire want to get the OTA update anyways? There are plenty of roms out there that already have Gingerbread that don't make you wait for it.. Maybe I am missing something.
Well, those people don't have to worry since the OTA update will most likely fail, but if you aren't rooted and apply an update like these, then you won't have the option to root anymore (until and if devs come up with a solution).
Zelendel is probably right though about AT&T dragging their feet on this one. It probably won't be an issue for months.
Trying to compile a list of RUU's that are update with the new updates released. Any help is appreciated.
There's a list in a sticky over in the development subforum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
That is not up to date. i just bought the sensation 5 days ago. the most update for a tmous sensation 4g is 1.45.531.1 with 10.56.9038.00_10.14.9035.01_M Radio. I seem not to be able to find the stock RUU to unroot if needed and the stock kernel. All there is are stock rooted roms. take a look at the htc evo page. I had an evo and how the evo 4g section is set up is ideal.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
As I understand it, the procedure to revert back to 1.45.531.1 is to apply any x.xx.531.x ROM, and then the OTA update will become available to update the phone to the most current 1.45.531.1 or whatever the latest OTA happens to be at that time...
I'm sure there are folks on here much more knowledgeable than I who will correct me if I'm wrong, but from the reading I've done, that would be the procedure in the absence of an actual up-to-date ROM file.

Hi all!
I want to flash my Inspire 4G to the DHD 2.3.5 official rom. Will I get issues(except being unable to use 3G) with device if I install official ICS update over the air in future?
In other words:
1). What version of update will I get: for Inspire or DHD one?
2). Will Inspire work with DHD radio?
3). Stock ROM of Inspire didn't have native support of most languages(there was only English and French). Will this ICS update reset support for other languages from the previous rom(2.3.5 for DHD)?
4). Will I have 4 or 1.5 Gb of memory available with DHD rom?

As far as we know our inspires will not get official ICS update. We are getting it from rooted imported roms from DHD.
If your phone is rooted DO NOT accept ota updates from at&t or you will be back asking how to repair your phone.
Someone may have a little more knowledge on whether you can flash the official DHD rom onto an unrooted inspire.

You have an Inspire. You cannot flash the Desire HD 2.3.5 ROM on your phone through OTA. You could install the RUU, but you would have to root your phone first.
Changing ROMs DOES NOT change your radio frequencies. You will get 3G no matter what ROM you install. The 3G is hardware and not software.
All Inspires and Desire HDs have the same internal memory. The 4GB was a white lie by ATT. All have 4GB before ANYTHING is flashed to the phone. But after the phone is flashed with a ROM and whatever there is under 1.4GB of useable memory for applications. If you went to storage in your settings you would see that you don't have 4GB.
The 2.3.5 update is not ICS. It is still Gingerbread but with Sense 3.0.
You have asked some of the most noob and common questions ever asked on the forum. Questions that have been asked since day 1. Please take the time to search before asking. You have much reading and searching to do.
