[ROM] Official HTC FROYO Android 2.2 FILE for Manual Update via HTC SYNC (OTA file)

UPDATED Aug 19, 2010: New Link, for Mirror to ROM. Original was pulled.
Get it here: http://bit.ly/cIXo91
This thread has been updated with great HOW TO VIDEO by XDA member darren rich who demystified a bunch of elements -- making this user-friendly for people with both UNBRANDED HTC Desire phones (GSM) -- and Branded phones -- which can be converted into unbranded phones first, by using the Goldcard process -- which he discusses.

This thread shows you how to update your HTC Desire GSM phone to Android version 2.2, Froyo, MANUALLY, using a WindowsPC computer, running the application "HTC Sync", connecting to your phone via USB cable. It's for usage if you have not been able to update Over The Air (OTA) -- and will provide you the exact same end result.
This is official HTC Software. This is for UNROOTED phones, phones that have only had official software that was originally installed, or OTA official updates. In other words:

You do not need to root your phone to run an RUU. These are official HTC updates that are designed for recovery or for people who cannot upgrade OTA.

RUU means "Rom Upgrade Utility" -- For unbranded phones, this process is straight forward. However if you have a branded phone, you have to add another step, and it's very important. It's also explained within...
teppic74 said:
Since this RUU is restricted to unbranded phones, you need a "goldcard" to bypass the check if you have a branded phone.

The thread combines (A) information from a previous thread posted by "football" [ROM] RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8 whichincluded the key download link to the primary Froyo file, which was posted by the good people at Shipped-Roms.com, with (B) much clarifying information from Darren and other posters from that thread.
Quick Overview
1. Download 3 files you'll need -- to a Windows machine.
a) "HTC Sync" software that runs on WindowsPCs only. It is the program that puts the initial software on your phone via USB cable.
Get it here: http://www.htc.com/europe/supportDownload.aspx?p_id=312&cat=3&dl_id=933
b) The main ROM -- a .exe file -- located here: (REVISED LINK as of Aug 19, 2010)
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
See that same file in full context here: (Note: Unfortunately, this page, perhaps that whole site, was pulled, Account suspended)
c) The update to the main ROM -- a zip file -- which will be copied to your phone thru USB cable, not executed thru "HTC Sync". It is located here, from HTC's site:
http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip
2. Read Darren's Blog Post, it has good instructions.
3. Watch his Video. It's easy. You'll feel ready to go.
More Details - About That ROM:
NOTE: "HTC BRAVO" = "HTC DESIRE" . Bravo was the original codename used by HTC before the Desire was actually released. You can confirm that by looking at the "DEVICE DATABASE" that is linked to from the top of every page on XDA-developers, under the XDA logo. All versions of the HTC Bravo/ Desire.

what about Hboot?

I apologize; I do not know the answer to this. I posted this information prior to performing this installation on my own DESIRE. I will be doing that tomorrow (Sat Aug 14). The reason I posted it is that the thread it is based upon took 22 posts before it was explained WHAT it was, what it dis, how to do it. I thought it could be useful to re-package the information.
I also posted a disclaimer... But after I perform this update tomorrow, I will come back and reply here and tell you what I have found. I am assuming (but i do not know one way or another) that this will be information listed on the same screen that shows firmware version # ?

It should now be available here:

Hi, could you explain, if you know, how the two differ, and who should use which? thank you

they don't differ it's your, just made a mirror in case your link dies?

Anybody having issues on the original stock sense unrooted 2.2 ROM? In every Sense 2.2. custom rom I tried I couldn't add more than one gmail account. I then tried unrooting and did the OTA update to 2.2. Same thing, still can't add more than 1 gmail acccount.
So I downgraded and rooted again and tried OpenDesire and could add more gmail accounts without problems. Then I tried a Sense 2.2 custom ROM and again, I coudn't add more than 1 gmail account.
So now I'm thinking to do the unroot with the RUU exe and see if it helps?

Thanks in advance.

Kernel
I've searched the other Q&A thread and haven't found a solution...
- The camera is still out, and I KNOW this is a bug. Has anyone found a fix?
- Has anyone found a kernel that is compatible with the ICS ROM?
- I've noticed SERIOUS battery drain, anyone else?

To answer all your questions, this is in beta...so no to all
Lord has his kernel in his builds....
Battery drain is because it's not optimized yet

[Q] Questions about BCM b0.3.6_2 (Bravo CM9) ROM

Hi,
Since I am a noob and do not have privileges to post on Dev forums, I open this thread here ... not sure it is the right thing to do
First, let me explain what I did before asking questions.
1) I rooted my HTC Desire using Cyanogen procedure
-> Successfully install ClockworkMod recovery + S-OFF
2) I flashed BCM b0.3.6_1 ROM successfully
Results :
So far, the ROM is working pretty fine (great job ! .. so cool to have ICS on my HTC desire ). However, I noticed that Gmail was not there and I had to install it manually (downloaded apk here if it can help some ... oups not allowed yet ... can I give this link in the post ?). After that, mail synchronization is ok. I had also the isssue related to Google calendar synchronization and it took me some time to realize that you have to follow the procedure that is following the fix link (sorry but not allowed to post links yet)
Note about the procedure : Since I do not have exchange account, I did it with anoter gmail account and it works fine.
For now, I did not find any major issues but still looking
Now, I have two questions :
1) Is there a way to disable haptic feedback ?
2) Once I got calendar sync fixed, I had to enable lockscreen PIN security. Is there a way to disable that ... it seems to be something that admin privileges.
I know that this ROM is still under development so sorry in advance if my questions are stupid.
Thanks for helping

Hi,
I just observed trying to use the camera that it crashes after taking one or two pictures.
I thought that the camera was stable on this release. It does not look like.
Step to reproduce :
1) Just launch camera
2) Take one or tw o pictures
Results :
Camera application crashes and apex viewer/launcher too. The only thing to do is to reboot. Taken pictures are recorded on SD.
Can anyone tell me if he has seen the same issue ?
Thx

My mistake, I just checked on the main thread for this rom and have seen that it is clearly mentionned that camera is still unstable ...

Persist img messed up

I've got a bit of a problem. After installing a rom and deciding to go back to stock, I've run into the issue that I cannot for the life of god get my fingerprint registered. My phone says it fails to register, and I've factory reset it every way possible. I'm pretty positive that it's something to do with the persist img, but when I used the solution the one guy posted for it, it of course didn't work. Why doesn't the msm tool fix it? Doesn't it reset everything? What should I do?

Hello @Qualex11 and I'd like to also welcome you to XDA. I hope you like your visits and stays on this website and that you always receive valuable support in case of any problems.
First, please be aware that we don't delete threads after XDA has been indexed by search engines as this would provide HTTP 404 errors and in turn a poor user experience. We rather close a thread on request of a thread owner like you!
However, in this case I like the thread to remain open unless you definitely want to have it closed but with a serious request to you. XDA is about sharing - not only development but also knowledge and experiences. How about if you share here what you did that solved your issue? I'm convinced there're other XDA members around who have either already experienced the same problem and are eagerly waited for a solution or there're might be others who will be very happy in future if they directly find a fix for their issue.
I honestly invite you to present your solution here - and we're all be very grateful! If you don't want just feel free to shoot me a PM or to report via the report function, and your thread will be closed.
Stay safe and stay healthy!
Regards

I actually fixed the problem with a tutorial about it on youtube. I had just messed up a step previously, but I repeated it and it worked. Just do a quick search "oneplus 8 persist fix" on youtube, and it should be the first one
