I have decided to not wait any longer for HTC \/ LEAF to get Android 2.2 on my phone – HTC Desire.  And surprisingly the process was fairly simple.  For the time being I have decided to stick with the stock HTC ROM which can be downloaded from here<\/a> (http:\/\/forum.xda-developers.com\/showthread.php?t=773997<\/a>).  This works if you are coming from a stock Android 2.1-update1 phone. So what did I do<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ensure that your phone is plugged into power.  You do not want your phone to die in the middle of an update.<\/li>\n
  2. Rooted my phone with Unrevoked<\/a> — very easy if you run Linux<\/li>\n
  3. Did a Nandroid backup just in case — Nandroid come with 2 above.<\/li>\n
  4. Rename the downloaded ROM above to update.zip and copy to the root of your SD Card<\/li>\n
  5. Switch your phone off.<\/li>\n
  6. Power on into recovery mode. (Hold volume minus while powering on the phone)<\/li>\n
  7. Select Recovery Mode from menu that come up. (Volume key to scroll and Power key to select)<\/li>\n
  8. Select install from sdcard (volume key to scroll and press touch button to select – [the round button at the bottom of your phone])<\/li>\n
  9. Scroll down to confirm that you want to install from SD Card (again volume key to scroll and press touch button to select – {what is this button called})<\/li>\n
  10. Now be patient and just wait .. do not touch anything.  In about 10 minutes you should have an Android 2.2 phone with all your data intact.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This instructions comes with no guarantee but it worked for me so there should be no reason why it should not work for you.  Oh and when you boot and there is not HTC boot sound .. that is a feature of this ROM .. there is a small update from the link above if you want the sound back.  There is various add-ons at the same link above.<\/p>\n

    The one small issue I have at the moment is that the Swype keyboard I am using is not working properly.  Keypress typing works but not swype typing. <\/p>\n

    Please comment and let us know your experience and mileage.<\/p>\n

    Happy updating and thanks for nothing LEAF<\/strong><\/p>\n
