I would guess it works all over the world.

You can see in the file name that it's a 'World Wide Edition (WWE)'. So it will work anywhere.

It might be missing some languages carriers have added in other countries, however.

Any update with WWE in the title indicates that it is a World Wide English edition.

Ah, that's a better meaning for the E in WWE than I gave.

The new date of 16th doesn't seem to convincing so i'm gonna try this manual flash

One question: does this 2.3.3 official update patch/unroot the DHD (if already rooted)

You have to Gingerbreak it I think if you keep S-OFF..

I undone my root before the flash so I lost S-OFF

cheers for the quick reply danny, Are there any risks of upgrading while leaving S-OFF ?

I had to Google to double check!

I'd wait for a little if I were you, you'll know for the future then : ) I think you'll get the OTA, but I'm not completely sure.

According to the Facebook Page, it'll be the 16th mate.

Hey guys, firstly we want to thank you all for being so patient about the Gingerbread update. We’ve been pushing this really hard and are pleased to announce that we are aiming to have the HTC Gingerbread update for unlocked HTC Desire HD and HTC Incredible S models available on 16th May 2011. For those waiting for their specific operator update, rest assured that we’re working very closely with each operator to get this just right and will update you as soon as we possibly can. Once again, we really appreciate your support and patience on this

In case you don't have Facebook.

Also, is the ROM linked to the original with the dodgy wifi?

 

[poopookakada]

Dunno.... It's the one I'm using and I have no problems at all

Thank You everyone, but I think it would be best if i waited for the official OTA update to be released, that way I know that it will be the right version, and it doesn't have any chance of messing up my DHD.

Also it's easier to wait for the real one.

Does anyone know how I could get HTC Sense 3.0, i know it's only being released on the new high end HTCs (Sensation), but surely the DHD is a high end device.

Thank You

I did the manual update a couple of days ago, using the same file.


Before I installed the HTC Sync application, it wouldn't recognise the phone, so I installed HTC Sync which included the drivers Windows needs to connect to the device. I did the update while it was in HTC Sync connection mode as well - took about 10 minutes.

I'll wait for the OTA as well! As for the Sense 3.0, DHD won't get it /officially/. The Sense on top of Gingerbread is version 2.1. Maybe they'll add some "sensation" for a 2.3.4 update, who knows! They guys at XDA are working on a Sense 3.0 ROM for the DHD, but as far as I know they are still on BETA stages.

What do you think about it? Is the WiFi ok?

 

[dijon]

Not having any issues with the Wifi that I've noticed - can stream off youtube etc.. just like before.

My DHD offerd OTA update to Gingerbread yesterday without my asking. I plugged into power and a good WiFi signal and all went smoothly it seemed, BUT!
1. Kindle for Android had a heart attack and I had to reload my books.
2. PC sync wouldn't and repair did not help, already fully updated. Uninstall; restart PC; reinstall latest HTC Sync - now OK.
3. Mail has gone barmy! Keeps saying I have 42 or 35 or 29 or whatever new emails - not true. I have about 20 emails total in my inbox I think and have recived less than 10 new ones today. When I open email it displays a total of 2 emails (old ones) then maybe all 20 or maybe it shows no emails. Usualy corrected by making a new selection in the folder list; show 'All Inbox' or 'All Messages' whichever is selected, change to the other.

Factory Reset.
If I do a factory reset on a DHD that has the Gingerbread update does it revert to Froyo???

No, factory reset is an inaccurate name for it really. All they do is wipe all of the user data on the phone, leaving you with a fresh install of whatever firmware you're currently running.

Nope, not if you just do it via the options menu. If you do it by holding up/down whilst the phone is turning on, it will install the default ROM the phone came with.
