Bought my HTC Wildfire last year and it’s shipped with Android 2.1 Eclair. Not such a bad OS but the main problem with 2.1 is the inability to install and run apps from the SD Card. To make it worse, the HTC Wildfire is not a device known for its generosity when it comes to internal storage space. With only 384 MB RAM available on board, I had to be very selective when it comes to what apps to install.
Late last year, HTC announced that Android Froyo 2.2 would be made available for its Wildfire. However, it would be rolled out in stages and phones that were purchased from telecommunication service providers would be the last to get the OTA upgrade.
Few months back, tired of waiting for the OTA upgrade, I requested for the file to manually upgrade my phone. HTC sent me the file but somehow I was unable to complete the installation as the notebook kept on telling me that it could not detect the phone connected via USB. I gave up.
Then early this month, while checking for the software update, the upgrade option came up and since then, my Wildfire runs on Froyo. Finally I got the feature that I wanted most, that is, the option to install and run apps from the SD Card. With that, I got the Angry Birds Seasons added to my original Angry Birds. Awesome! On top of that, Froyo is a bit faster than Eclair based on the apps loading speed.
If you have a Wildfire and are still on 2.1 Eclair, just follow these simple steps to upgrade.
Connect to a WiFi connection. Important as you need stable connection for downloading the upgrade file, which is about 20MB.
Tap Menu and select Settings and scroll down to About Phone.
Tap system software updates and choose Check now.
You will then get the upgrade notice. Just follow the instruction and things will be done automatically from that point onwards. You would not lose any data when you choose to upgrade.
Once completed, the phone will be rebooted. Log in and go back to About Phone.
Tap on Software information and you should see Android version 2.2.1
Congratulations! You are now running Android 2.2 Froyo.
Have fun and smile!

Me just bought a new samsung phone with 7 inch screen powered by android 2.2. Huhu luckly, no need to install / upgrade yet. Waiting for offical news to update it to 2.3
the thing is I am not sure how to do that rooting stuffs and I am not sure what will be the consequences of doing that despite many people are saying that it is better to root it or install custom ROM, etc..
love android but seems impossible to grab it for this moment..pakai je la nokia yang xsecanggih mne ni…:) anyyss´s last post ..2nd year experience at PSZ
Congratz with the upgrade on your phone. If you’re a geek like me you should check XDA-Developers… This threat is especially for your phone so you might find some very cool stuff in it! Behrad´s last post ..Firefox Plugin- MeasureIt
XDA is just great. This is the place where I get my custom ROM’s for my HTC TP2 which are 10x faster then the ROM which it came with! Good luck with it! Behrad´s last post ..Firefox Plugin- MeasureIt
lots of people talked about the custom ROM. I still don’t get it. What’s the catch with this custom ROM and why manufactures are not using it if it is better than the stock ROM? Any problem in the future such as software upgrade if we are using the custom ROM? Thanks!
Well, The most common reason why people, like me, use custom ROM is to enjoy software updates which aren’t available on the stock ROM. For example when I first got my HTC TP2 it Windows Mobile 6.1 on it and now I’m running Windows Mobile 6.5.x and the latest build which is faster and more finger-use friendly. Beside this HTC Sense had some major cool updates which I wanted to use!
It might also be the case that the one who makes the custom ROM’s can add features, appz, themes etc which hat are not available on official firmware..
As for usage: I’m really happy that I “flashed” my phone with a custom ROM as it runs much smoother and haven’t experienced any bad side effects! It’s just your phone with the newest software! Behrad´s last post ..Firefox Plugin- MeasureIt
