OTA install

Hey,
Im on orange UK and have a rooted version of the generic 1.15... rom. However, as its rooted (at least, i think the root is the cause) the OTA wont install, it just fails every time it trys to install it and the phone restarts. Can anyone tell me how to install the OTA update manually as i really want some of the bug fixes in it
Thanks

any ideas?

I was having the same problem... unrooted and got back to the WWE one :/

how did you unroot exactly?

I had the same problem last night with the T-Mobile update, in the end i followed this guide to unrooting -
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307683/howto-unroot-your-htc-desire/
Updated to new version fine, now not sure whether to root again

thank you, thats exactly what im looking for, although, is there a download available for Orange UK or can i just use the Generic RUU?
(note: i currently have a generic, non orange rom installed so i assume this will be ok?)

Yup, I installed Generic WWE one on mine.
Although I liked having my phone rooted, I hated going checking for update, seeing it, trying to install it and then failing at that constantly. This way is better I guess.

[Q] Which Rom Has What ?

Hi All,
long time reader, 1st time poster,
i have switched from the nexus to the desire, and i have seen lots and lots of diffrent roms for the desire, so i was wondering if i may ask your assistance in locating the best one?
which rom most people prefer ?
what advantages does X rom have over X rom ?
i currently have a desire running 2.2 froyo if there is anyone else switching which could suggest a good switch ?

Hi,
I'm fairly new to this whole rooting business myself and certainly not an expert on advising which is is the 'best'. A lot would depend on your needs and preferences. For my use, however, I found the ROM at :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
to be very stable and to my liking. It is virtually the same as an OTA update of Froyo, except it is rooted and has some miner modifications.
Read a lot and try different Roms; I'm sure you'll find one to your liking and needs.

Hi Mag,
Thanks for your advice, it sounds like a nice easy starting mod,
btw how did you root the phone to start with ?
i have tried the current REVOked client but that seems to fail each time.
so i was debating sitting back and waiting for REVOkeds new 3.2.1 client to be released for download.

Here is what I did with my very limited knowlage about rooting:
1. I made my working sd card into a 'gold card'. Not sure if that was necessary or not, but it couldn't hurt.
2. I downgraded from OTA froyo to the 2.1 version.
3. Then rooted my phone using Unrevoked3.
After that I was able to update to any rom using clockworks recovery only.
Everything went very smoothly for me without any hickups.
You can find all the needed details about the individual procedures above, on this great site. Search and you will find .
Hope this is of some help.
Mag
PS.: Unrevoked at, http://unrevoked.com/#inc, is suposedly working on a new version that is able to root Froyo without having to dowgrade to 2.1 first.

Unrevoked's rooting solution is already out for the Desire FYI
Here is the link for it
http://unrevoked.com/
Be advised that they have removed the current version because it had some issues with the Evo 4G but the older 3.2 is still up and flawless for the Desire.
Unrevoked Desire
Sadly I had major driver issues with my current PC and couldnt root my phone as of yet.. but will do it in a couple of days when i get my new PC So I cant provide feedback as of yet... But the Wiki page of Unrevoked has pretty much everything covered up for you
Hope I helped a little

yeah the current version means you need to downgrade to 2.1. but id rather go straight into rooting, than mess about with downgrading 1st.

OTA update

Hi, yesterday i got a massage that i can download new ota update 2.29... i've decided not to dwnl. it cause phone is rooted but it is on custom rom and i have data to sd as it says in my signature. Quest. is, what hapend in that case when upgradeing?
htc desire data2sd

Never apply OTA on rooted phones!
You most likely will mess up your phone.
If you want the changes from the update either use the matching RUU or find a custom rom based on that version.
Oh and your signature is empty.

Thx, for reply. It is the main problem i can't decide what is the compatibile rom. I know it is verry newbe quest but it so hard for me to get it on cause there is so much of everything that can brick the phone. As much as i read that less i understand. Can't find the rom that is up to date and that it is compatibile. Don't know how to decide which is ok. About signature, english isn't my native lang. and it is hard to find the right expression .
htc desire data2sd

There isn't that much that can brick your phone, people use the word brick to much for every little problem they have. As far as I know there are only three ways to brick a phone:
Hardware damage
Faulty radio install
Messing up the hboot
There might be more but can't think of any other right now. Non of these are relevant to you right now.
For all the desire compatible rom's check this thread. StarBurst is probably your best bet if you want to keep the normal Sense. Make sure to read the thread for requirements and instructions.

Thank you for your patiente, one more newbie q. I can`t find on the google how to see which recovery mode do i have? There i see some notes to whatch out with which recovery to oprate but i can`t find how to see which version is mine.

Just boot in recovery, there should be a line telling what recovery it is. Most likely you have CWM 2.5.0.7.

You are right once again . So from now on i should find the newest rom. Is gingerbred for desire yet out and should it be something much better then those roms you've sugest me in the privious post? As i saw on the forum those custom roms are eaven more up to date and provide more options than those "original" roms, and another confusing thing is that in star burst is option to update ota, is this correct or i do not understand it correctly?

Same concern here:
I've rooted the phone, I've installed Rom Manager, wasn't convinced to install any ROM. How this will affect the OTA update ?
To be honest I'm waiting for the official 2.3 from HTC and I've rooted the phone mainly to get access to some Market software unavailable outside the US (maps, voice actions, etc).
I've also unlocked the phone using seempi's method.

If you're rooted you can't apply the OTA, simple as that.
If you want OTAs then you'll need to go back to stock

Whats the full version number of ota update?

[Q] No OTA updates available after debranding and downgrading

Hi guys, I've been searching the forum for a while but I still can't find a solution/reason for what it's happening to my DZ, which I bought from England and vodafone branded.
Soon after the first configuration I upgraded to 1.72 as suggested, but I couldn't know that rooting was then no more possible. I didn't want to be stuck on a vodafone branded and only-english rom, so I debranded succesfully my DZ by downgrading to a stock htc 1.34 rom (RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed), obtaining then permroot + superCID.
Now my rom speaks italian (as I wanted) and is rooted, but if I check manually for updates, I get only a message telling me that the phone is updated and there are no new upgrades available.
I tried to:
- look for updates before rooting and with s-on (CID vodap_001), waiting even for 1 week
- put back the gold card I used to downgrade and then checking for OTA
- check for updates with root, superCID and s-off
Is there any reason for that?
How can I update again to 2.2.1 (1.72 & 1.83)?
ps: I prefer a stock rom for the moment instead of a custom rom
Any help/opinion is appreciated!

There won't be any OTA updates once you've rooted and de-branded. And if there are, do not accept them, as they will either fail or possibly unroot/brick your phone.
Your option will to be to find a rooted, stock ROM that comes with the latest OTA software package already installed. Check the dev section, they have a list of ROMs. You may not be able to find the exact specific ROM you've currently got, but there are many choices that can come close.

First of all, thanks for prompt answering martonikaj.
I thought I could receive and install ota updates since there was a stock rom with superCID in my devide.. which is different from having a custom rom like Virtuos.
What about users telling they had downgraded-debranded-rooted their DZ and can receive and install successfully OTA updates??
Flashing a rooted stock rom implies wiping everything.. and I prefer to avoid that.

There's a rooted 1.82 stock ROM at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960149 . Really if you're going to make that huge version jump you should do a wipe. Back up your stuff with Titanium backup first

Sorry but in all my times rooting and modding devices, applying OTA updates has never been something that works with rooted devices.
Unfortunately, yes, if you want to upgrade to the rooted version of the latest OTA ROM, you're gonna have to wipe everything and start from fresh with the new ROM.

Same here
Hi,
The same thing is exactly happening to me. My phone keeps telling me that there is not update but the software number is 1.34, which from what I've read is an older firmware. Shouldn't my phone be able to detect the update?
The question isnt whether rooted is better, but why our phones are not receiving any ota. Granting that stock rom is not better, the problem is there is no notification at all that there is an update.
FYI, I have flashed an official rue version but still has s-off. :-D I don't know if having s-off would prevent the phone from finding an update.

Think about it this way people: when you mod your phone by rooting, it's like cutting the imbillical cord with your carrier/manufacturer's update servers. Don't worry about why, just have that mentality as it will make all your lives easier. If you rooted, why would you want a stock rom that limits you?
If you want stock with sense, go for GingerSense, Vitruous, etc..
If you want stock w/o sense, go for any of the other pre-rooted G2 roms.
I really don't understand why people would complain about OTA updates when you can backup and update to a rom of your choice whenever you want. Plus, if you don't like it, you can revert! Something you cannot do with a stock OTA update.

I just want my de-branded 2.2 froyo back please

Yet another noob here requiring help. Hello to you all, hope someone can help.
Until yesterday my Desire was running an unmodified WWE 2.2 froyo rom. The phone wasn't rooted. (can't remember which version of the rom I had). This phone was brought from 02 (UK) and debranded by myself with the above rom installed.
I stupidly checked for OTA updates and one was found - if I remember correctly it was an update that came out in 2010 which caused people's WIFI not to work, switching the WIFI on the word ERROR would appear. Additionally I didn't have my GoldCard in at the time either.
Anyhow, i've been fiddling all night and have now ended up installing ClockworkMod (3.32 - downloaded from their website). I thought I could find a sense rom that would fix the WIFI problem, but now having read through pages of various forums all I want to do is get back to where I was yesterday. I'm not really interested in trying out various roms, all I want is to get back to a debranded sense 2.2 froyo with all features working i.e WIFI.
Apologies if this sounds kinda off, I really didn't think I'd be all day trying to sort this problem out. Perhaps if I'd decided to play around with bootloaders, roms etc. I'd be happy to experiment but not when I don't have the time especially with a little due any moment.
So I'd like to know what my options are now, I would appreciate you help.
Regards
Henguist
P.S Details of phone software:
The current baseband Version is 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
The Radio Version is 5.09.00.20 (as above)?
The kernel is 2.6.32.15-gf9c0527
The build is 2.29.405.2 CL263770 release-keys
The software is 2.10.405.2
The browser is Webkit 3.1
HBoot is 0.93.0001

i haven't used a gold card for a long time so i'm not too sure if this actually works. someone correct me if im wrong, but i think you can put any .zip rom file into your goldcard and then just run clockwork recovery to update from .zip from sdcard and then it will simply install the rom. the only froyo wwe rom files i can find seem to be .exe files that are meant to be run while your phone is already booted into the OS.
if you do happen to find a .zip rom file you want just boot into clockwork recovery and then wipe /system to get rid of the rom you have installed and then install the .zip you want from sdcard. before doing so it's always best to make a backup in clockwork.

Many thanks kokocabana for your reply! I have now returned back unmodified WWE 2.2 froyo rom, with help from this forum - many thanks.
Firstly I found this thread, followed the instructions there then downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed and installed.
Hope this helps somebody!
Once again thanks to xda forums
