Woot, the link on XDA works:

Android version 2.2
Build Number 2.09.405.8

:D

Not much is different - the manage applications menu looks a bit nicer, they've thrown a decent flashlight app in and there seem to be on or two small tweaks. Speed seems about the same, but I haven't done anything to push it.

And the update doesn't wipe any settings, so no need to worry about backing up. My Sense launcher kept FCing - if that happens to anyone else, just clear its data in the manage applications menu.
 
Can you guys start saving apps to the SD card?
 
ok... shyte, I'm getting a reoccurring htc sense application error. It auto forces the app close, then tries to reload it... all the freakin time.....

Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> HTC Sense -> Clear Data

Same thing happened to me, that fixed it.

@Catweasel - you can install to SD if the app has it enabled.

I get the "Status 7" error while updating. Seems the phone is branded in some way - although I can't see any branding on the phone, there were also never any Vodafone/Vodacom splash screens or anything.

Anybody else here had success in upgrading a HTC Desire you got from Vodacom?

Or have a way around the "Status 7" error?

Dang - was so looking forward to Froyo :-)
 
Nashua Mobile

Not rooted

Updated last night, but it bricked my phone! It got stuck in a loop saying "loading", "error starting HTC Sense", "loading. Restarting, taking the battery out, etc, didn't help.

Did a factory reset (turn off the phone, press volume down and then press power (while still holding vol down)) and that fixed it
 
hahahaha, this 'official' update has made some good laughs for me today :P

Yep, I updated succesfully. I can't wait to get home to find out what's different.

BTW how do I get to install apps on the memory card?
 
Who da froyo!

Manual update. Its easy. It works. It took half an hour to download, and ten minutes to install. And WOW the difference ... NOT.

Updated my Desire using the manual method after not seeing the update via OTA.
It all went smoothly. Now running Froyo! :D
