Got a feeling you'll need to use the official ruu exe files from htc. You should be able to download the 2.03 update from shipped roms, and install it by connecting your phone to the pc and running the ruu exe.
Then check for system updates on the phone after to update to 2.05. As far as I know at the moment, nobody has posted a 2.05 ruu. So this is why you'll have to do it this way. Also I have heard that the 2.05 ota may have been removed possibly in preparation for the froyo update, or to give more server capacity to the desire froyo update, which has already gone out.
Also sorry for the essay. Hope it helps.

Also from the stock Rom, you should then be fine just to update to froyo as and when the ota is released to the legend. I'm also running cleaneclair and am planning to do the exact same.

You can only update ro 2.05 if you unrooted your legend.
I don't know about froyo, it can update manually or by OTA.

Flashing an official RUU over a custom rom -- wouldnt that make you lose your root?

My unrooted stock Legend currently running 2.05.405.2 still
shows a bootloader of 43.0001. I went from stock 1.31.405.5 to 2.05 via OTA.
This seems weird considering 2.03 has a later version of the bootloader.
Is this the same for all 2.05 users? Is my bootloader corrupted in some way?
Perhaps it means I can root it without downgrade.

How did you get OTA 2.03 if you have 1.31???
Hi,
Sorry, I got my numbers mixed up. I had 1.31.405.5 and got 2.05 ota.
I've edited the original post. Nonetheless, the bootloader still shows 43.0001.
I checked also, same build and still show hboot 43.0001. Weird. Anyway
I don't complain.

And we could root?
Hi, my device is still on 43.0001.
Is it possible to root my device without downgrade?
Did you root your phones?
Why don't you thyself just give it a try? Please move this to Legend general...?

Hey I already tried rooting and it gets stuck at
43 main version error with modaco rooting guide.
So I'm assuming i have to downgrade to 1.31.
Oh and I have no clue how to move a thread in xda.
Have you had any joy with downgrading/rooting?
Im in the same exact boat as you myself and I dont seem to be having any luck with the downgrade ;(
No luck with straight rooting. I'm going to downgrade
then root.
If you have any luck with downgrading using the guide on this forum let me know as im having no joy.
Im in the same boat as you, same software and bootloader but the downgrade doesnt seem to play nicely ;(
Few days ago i've downgraded (from 2.05 to 1.31) and rooted my girlfriends phone, no problems at all. Just follow the instructions and you'll make it.

Yep I noticed your reply in the original thread, but i seem to be running into an issue that hasnt been brought up before ;(
Il keep trying!
Hmm. I will try it soon. Also must try the soft root method that
is out on the forum. Since it loses root once rebooted, I was
wondering if clockworkmod could flash a rom, probably not.
Hey guys!
I received and installed the new Android 2.2 update over OTA. But I lost my root access. I tried rooting with Unrevoked: no success. So I'm asking if anyone knows how could I root my wildfire now.
Please help
Reading really seems to be a problem around here.

You can't root the OTA, htc updated the hboot, so wait until unrevoked release an updated version.
I think you'll have to downgrade to an older RUU and root to flash a custom froyo, but I think the new hboot prevents this.
Leaves me wondering why you guys waited for official froyo and then decide to root lol.

For example, I waited for the official FroYo for stability. I had my phone rooted, and I had installed RUU sometimes too (1.37 or 2.10 cn), and then Unrevoked, because they can be rooted. So I didn't think that now, I couldn't root the official froyo, so I tried it as I had already tried RUU's and succesfully rooted.
Some people is saying that there were a lot of adverts/advices saying not to install RUU's or OTA's because then they can't be rooted. But I'm relatively new on this so I didn't even see those posts. There are a lot and I didn't read all of them, so I didn't know.
When I saw official FroYo was out I decided to install it to then flash Jacob's kernel and being root. Before that, I had finally went back to stock 2.1, rooted and OC, because custom roms are often unstable.
Now, I'm waiting resigned to be able to root it and forget this nightmare of being enclosed in this ROM.
EDIT: And yes, the new hboot prevents downgrading...
Do you get now the reasons?
Hey,
I rooted my htc wildfire with unrevoked and worked fine, i got the official 2.2 update come in and i went to install it but i couldnt cos it was rooted , so i flashed my phone with 2 Rom's but they upgraded my bootloader so i cant flash my phone any lower can anyone help me?
Thanks in advanced

You cannot downgrade your bootloader. I think you're stuck until someone finds a way to root the new HBOOT.
I just want to go back to the stock android 2.1 , then update it to 2.2 ofiicially without rooting
The 'custom ROM' you flashed is actually official FroYo. There would be no difference even if you downgraded and got official FroYo. (Its not possible yet as stated above anyway, but, just letting you know)
Search found a thread from yesterday, but it just trailed off without an answer.
So a .16 OTA update was recently released. I have a 64GB dev edition, CWM installed and rooted. The normal way of updating does not work...so what do I do? Where do I manually download the update file, and how do I apply it without unrooting, relocking, etc? And which version is right for my phone? The autoupdate downloaded and attempted to install an update for Brightstar WorldWideEdition, is that correct?
An ruu should be posted on htc dev, other than that, devs should be cooking the updates into their roms

I just rooted my HTC One last week and yesterday I got notified of an update for my AT&T HTC One. Tried to install the update but failed. Do I need to unroot my phone before I can install the update? Do I even need that update? Should I just install a custom rom forget about the update form AT&T?

If the new update is Sense 6.0, my suggestion is you should accept the update. It's a huge leap forward from Sense 5.5. For achieving OTA, you need to be complete stock. You can return to stock by flashing RUU (exe or zip).
