I'm using clockwork recovery mod... could this be causing the issue?
i presume its not a rooted phone?
Here's the deal with my Desire. I was tired of waiting for Android 2.2 so used Unrevoked and loaded LeeDroid 2.1. I found the battery life was worse and as this was causing me an issue I went back to my backup of the stock HTC Android 2.1.
So my phone is rooted but I'm no longer using a custom ROM. If this is the problem I should be able to find the official release of Froyo and load it through Clockwork Recovery mod, am I right?
Yes it should.
You dont need to be rooted but you do need custom recovery. Do you have the htc one or clockwork? if clockwork, you can go into an option (think it might be partitions and mounts or just mount) you can mount the sd card and put a new rom on it.
Went from a stock froyo, to this update and it's screwed my wifi!!
Gonna go install the o2 2.1 now, then hope the update goes fine.
I'm now currently back on the HTC recovery. I've tried loading Clockwork Recover using fakeboot but again it comes up with the signature verification failed. Also when I try using the RUU.exe it cannot get a connection to the phone, maybe because I'm in recovery mode and not actual Android?
I'm determined to unbrick this phone!
Press the back button and the power button together until the fastboot screen appears. Plug the phone in by USB and run the RUU in Windows.
its not bricked, you are just looking too far into itI'm now currently back on the HTC recovery. I've tried loading Clockwork Recover using fakeboot but again it comes up with the signature verification failed.

was this originally an o2 device?
sounds like it wasnt and you updated it without a goldcard
Did you read the guide?
RUU finished and we're up and running on Android 2.2 complete with all the o2 branding.
