I've rooted my CDMA HTC Desire and had a custom ROM for 2.2. Since the official Froyo was released today I restored with my last Nandroid backup which reverted it to the custom ROM but unfortunately I've lost the backup I did before rooting. From what I understand doing an oficial upgrade on a rooted phone will brick it and the kicker is, at least everywhere I've read, there is no stock RUU available for the USCC CDMA Desire. Any advice as to what I can do to get the official 2.2 installed without destroying my phone?

 

Thanks for the advice on the program but unfortunately it didn't work. It stated it was complete but SuperUser still exists and Root Checker app says I'm still rooted as well. Any other suggestions?

 

And to verify, one does not exist for this phone correct? I've done a lot of research and can't find one but I've been known to overlook the obvious

EDIT: to add, it is not an OTA update; it's downloaded from HTCs website. I'm unsure if that matters or not, but I figured I'd throw it out there.

 

One more inquiry then. I do have access to the same model of phone that houses the stock ROM. Would there be any way for me to extract it from that phone and load it into mine? I know that's a far stretch but it doesn't hurt to ask

 

That's the new Froyo update that was just released. I had a custom ROM for it but since I saw that there was an official release I did a Nandroid restore but unfortunately it was a backup just prior to the custom ROM, not prior to the root. So now I have a rooted phone with the stock 2.1 :/

 

That was my original inquiry; if I'm rooted will it be safe to upgrade to the official Froyo?

 

Great to know. I had an edit to one of my replies above asking if it even mattered since it wasn't OTA. I'm currently downloading the 2.2 now but it's taking hours unfortunately. Thanks for the reassurance...I was ready to just try anyway but better safe than sorry!
+Thanks

 

That would explain a lot and now that you say that it's a *derp* moment. It's been so long since I rooted that I didn't even think about that.

 

I've been downloading it for 2+ hours now. Customers and all the technicians across the company are currently trying to pull it down. Hopefully it will finish before I get off work! I'll be so happy to have the HTC Sense UI available again. The ROM I was running was pretty basic but it was worth the loss of Sense to be able to have more than just Angry Birds on my phone
