Its rather unfortunate that it came with Froyo preinstalled, but, you will have to wait. Theres no other option as of now.

You can't really update the rom...You have to get another rom which has 2.3.4 inside it allready. I would reccomend Typhoon Cynomogenmod rom!!

follow link above and Downgrade, sucks that you updated, but don't worry you can downgrade to the awesome 2.2.1!
It's quite difficult to brick the phone if you follow the steps exactly. the only time you may brick the phone is when it is during the process of flashing the stock 2.2.1 rom, and you pull the battery or something. So make sure you're battery is charged! and secure.

i understood the downgrade part but im very confused about emmc thing, whats adb?

ah, when you try that command, it has to be tried through adb, and the phone has to be in a custom recovery, like clockworkmod or 4EXT. since you don't have a custom recovery currently installed, it won't work. so try the other command, through terminal emulator.

HTC Wildfire Goldcard?

Hi, I've tried rooting my phone many ways before and none of them seemed to work (rEVOked, Revolutionary) And I found out it was because of my HBOOT. It was different to the others that have rooted their wildfires. But I want to root my phone so is a Goldcard risky?

Which version is your HBOOT?

It's HBOOT 1.01.0002

Always try searching the forum before asking a question. You will be surprised how many people ask the same questions.
For the time being, look in the Android Development forum, there are ICS custom ROMs for you to try.

Hi everyone,
I'm having DHD with Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, i've bought it a year and a half ago, and I never touched it, so it is unrooted and has it's original (stock) room.
Now I'd like to flash a custom rom to it, I've done a lot of research and found out I need to downgrade my device to be able to root it. Now, I've spent hours looking for a proper guide of how to downgrade the device and root it, but found nothing really.
Can you help me? I've almost given it up :S
Thank you very much in advance whoever helps me!

Press any key to continue . . .

I kept getting that on my first ever root attempt. Turns out it was my lead. Make sure it's the original lead. (mine was actually the original but it was faulty, did charge still though) hope this helps.

You need to use AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit). You can no longer find it on XDA.
But if you search google for AAHK you will find their support page, and you can download it from there.
Also mae ksure to read the manual (called the effin' manual). Don't skip a word!!
Also, since you are on 2.3.5 you need to downgrade. Instructions are on the effin manual.

Teichopsia, I can't thank you enough man!! You helped me A LOT with that link
I've done this for the first time ever, and all went the way it should! Running ICS wooooo!
THANKS A MILLION TIMES!

The guide was written by glevitan, thus, he deserves the thanks. All I did was point you in the right direction (and proof-reading that guide about 5 times before it was uploaded ).
From that same link check out post #179, currently it should be the last page.
I'm glad it's all sorted out. Happy flashing.
