How to manually install Froyo on HTC Desire

Posted on by

HTC as promised has started rolling out the Froyo update for the very sexy looking HTC Desire? If you are a Europe based user and have an unlocked handset, there are two ways for you to get this update. One is to wait for the OTA update which can take quite some time or the other way is install it manually. If the later option is your choice, find out how to update your firmware to Android 2.2 after the jump.

How to Unlock Your Nokia Cell Phone

Typically when you purchase a cell phone, the company that sold you the phone (ex: AT&T) ‘locked’ the phone before you bought it, so you can only use it on their network. This means that you can’t use your phone if on any other network, even if you change the SIM (which is an abbreviation for Subscriber Identity Module) card. The SIM card is the little piece of plastic that identifies your phone to the cellular network. Changing your SIM card to have your phone work on another network is useful especially if you want to travel to another country and want to buy a pre-paid SIM card so you can have cell phone access without roaming charges. There are services that offer to provide unlocking capabilities for a fee, but don’t pay for them! You can do it yourself for free, which is the perfect price.

About Kon-Boot
Kon-Boot is an prototype piece of software which allows to change contents of a linux kernel (and now Windows kernel also!!!) on the fly (while booting). In the current compilation state it allows to log into a linux system as ‘root’ user without typing the correct password or to elevate privileges from current user to root. For Windows systems it allows to enter any password protected profile without any knowledge of the password. It was acctually started as silly project of mine, which was born from my never-ending memory problems 🙂 Secondly it was mainly created for Ubuntu, later i have made few add-ons to cover some other linux distributions. Finally, please consider this is my first linux project so far 🙂 Entire Kon-Boot was written in pure x86 assembly, using old grandpa-geezer TASM 4.0.

Additional notes:

* Kon-Boot was designed to work on X86-32 architectures only.
* This utility was not designed to work with USB sticks, however you can try some unofficial methods to boot Kon-Boot from USB, check the USB tutorial on IronGeek or Raymond blog post.

Kon-Boot was presented on numerous places, it was featured in: Hak5 Episode-518, PaulDotCom Security Weekly Episode-158, WindowsITPro and others. Till the 13-07-2009 it was downloaded about 170.000 times.
