Well i just got the, as Carlsberg says, probably the best phone out there , i love it, but i have a small little problem. I don't know what happened but when i made the 2.1 update 1 it didn't applied it . u can see the picture where it says 2.1 update 1 BUT the other numbers are like before, and i checked and the changes and they where NOT applied, no HQ youtube, still the problem with the keyboard when long press menu in home screen. I alse checked bootloader, still the 0.75. Now when i check for updates OTA it says : "No new updates available". My phone is not rooted, just got it. And yes, i rebooted phone, several times. No hard reset yet.
First of all, the line with "2.1-update1" is not changed by the update, so that is no indication
With that out of the way, maybe this can help:

I have not tried it, as my phone updated fine by itself.
Be sure you have the version that it mentions ("unbranded EU"), and even then it is all at your own risk...
You might want to try it first from step 3: if the update is already somewhere on your sd-card, maybe hidden or disguised, then it would be best to use that of course.
For my phone the update lasted about 7 minutes and took about 3 reboots to finish.
Good luck with it!

Oh, tx about the info, i thought it tried to update and failed, i am not eager to do it, i'll just wait for froyo update. I have one more question: i will receive an unlock key to remove my vodafone only limitation, then will i have an unbranded phone or it will still be branded but unlocked?

Hi all,
I tried the search function and could not find anything. So I hope someone can help me. And I hope I am in the right section.
First off, my phone is not rooted. I looked at my phone, and found that the update was available. I was going to wait until I got home and update, so I hit cancel.
I got home, and when doing an HTC update check, it says "No Update available"
I have tried several time, I have used the original rom that the phone came with and it did find the update to 1.32. But now it still won't find the update for the one released today.
Any help on this would be appreciated
Thanks in advance, and that you to all the developers!

Update was pulled. Damage control team has been pulled in to asses and rectify the current issue. More details as they become available.

htc pulled the update because for a small number of users after applying the update they would not get the "update sucessfully installed" message and they would either search for the update and see it a second time or would get another message saying it was available again. Downloading and applying it a second time sometimes bricked the phone and it would not startup again. I had this happen to me today but thankfully after I installed it a second time it worked after a longer period with the bricking. HTC software engineers are looking into it. I don't know what this guy is talking about with the damage control devs looking into it because they have nothing to do with the release of official OTA updates they just cook roms
Let me clarify by stating that my previous post does not in any way imply that the "dev" team is working on the OTA issue. Obviously they are not the ones to address the issue.
My apologies Faus if this was not clear enough for you.

I have been trying to update to the 3.29.651.5 update since its release on September 22 and it just continually says, "Checking..." It never stops. I've left it there for thirty minutes before. It never tells me there isn't an available update nor that 3.29.651.5 is available.
I took the phone into a Sprint store and they said to come back in forty-five minutes for the upgrade (a bit of a wait!). I came back after fifty and they told me they would have to wipe the phone to install the software update.
Is there an easier way to fix this? Sprint support gave me a link to a download for the update, but said it is a risk. Is there a way to just fix what is making it continually check so that it finally just finds the software update by the normal means?
Thank you for any help.

just download the ota from here in the 4g developement area and connect to your pc and update, be sure to sync your contacts first, and back your apps up to just incase, i know when i updated the wife's hero her contacts were ok, and did not get deleted from the phone, the apps i cant remember if i had to add them back in or not.
I ended up doing a factory reset and then the update was able to found normally. Thank you for your help, though.
I have just updated my Desire to what I think was 2.29 following a system software notification. It went through ok, rebooted and said sucessful, however, it will not recognise my SIM, I keep getting "No SIM card in phone error". The SD card is mounted ok, and from what I can see everything else appears to be working.
Info;
Software number;
2.29.405.5
I haven't rooted the phone, messed about with it in ANYway...I have rebooted the phone and reseated the SIM about 10 times now, no change...
Please please is there anything I can do? Am I going to have to factory reset?
thanks
Anthony
Any ideas?? Sorry I'm completely stuck and won't be able to get hold of T-mobile for days yet....
Try another sim card in the phone, test your sim card in another phone, post back after you have done that as you can see what is at fault.
Arrgh, sorry I was sure I'd typed all that down...
Yes I already have put another SIM in, a pay as you go which also doesn't work. I have tried putting my SIM in another phone and it works fine...so definitly not that.
T-Mobile have no ideas, they hadn't heard of it, they gave me HTC's number but they shut naturally....and will be until Wed at the earliest
Sounds to me as the sim reader on the phone is faulty, you can try pushing on it and holding it and see if that helps, if not you are stick till you can send the phone away for repair, seems odd tho that it happened after the update.......
I have the same problem with my Desire. After the update, it won't recongnize the SIM.
Can you some how re-run the update or do a ruu file update.
I tried with another SIM in my phone and it's working. So is it possible that the update damaged the SIM?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I would not think so, sometimes if you have a older sim it does not work, it looks like you sim card is at fault, phone up your operater and see if you can get a newer one.
Ok then. Thank you for the advices.

The OP's problem maybe because of the new radio that is included in this OTA.
It's a bit strange as this is the first reported issue with a sim that isn't working after an applied OTA (as far as I know).
It's a general rule of the thumb that, if you have a problem occurring right after an OTA, then you should reinstall it. So you might give it a try - download the OTA, and reapply it manually.
Yes the SIM works in another phone. And I hadn't touched the phone after the update, just let it reboot and it failed to recognise.
This is a good idea though, I will try and download the update and install it again.
Am I gonna have to flash the whole phone to do this? From what I've read you can't just apply the small (5mb update) you have to do the big 168mb one? Sorry, n00b at this.
Only the update (5MB).
If you flash the 168MB one you'll lose your data, as it's a complete ROM, not an update.
Edit: The OTA seems to be missing from shipped roms but I've found it over at some german blog and uploaded it here.
Thanks for the info. Ok I manually updated, which went through ok again, but no change
I will have to try factory reset, I just can't see what would stop the SIM being recognised.....
Unless theres anything else you can think of? I will perform hard reset...really don't want to though.
Hoping my phone isn't knackered.
If you were fine before going to the latest update, you could try to revert back by flashing the 2.29.405.2 rom which is in essence the same as the latest. Download this 161MB zip http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
Then rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" (zip is the extension, not part of the name)
Put in in your sd card, without placing it in any folders
Turn off, Turn on holding the volume down key, and you shall be asked to apply it.
This will erase all your data, just like a factory reset.
any luck with this, just done the same on mine NOT rooted and NOT branded Desire on Orange. I can see all the networks when I scan for them but whem I try and connect to one it says 'your SIM card does not allow these services' or something similar
What version did you update to the 405.2 or 405.5?
now running 405.5
Go back to 405.2 if you can seems the 05 update is the problem here.
Anyone that can help me with this one, can be my new bestfriend
After getting really really depressed over being on the Official HTC Sense ROM with my Desire, I decided to change to the Starburst ROM. As the new Unrevoked doesn't work with the latest official build of Froyo from HTC I always, always use this when I want to downgrade and root, to install new roms.
Normally, I will use the utility as indicated, everything will go smoothly, Eclair 2.1 will install, however normally my phone will be locked, and I will have to remove my SIM, update to 2.2, my phone will become Unlocked after updating, and I will root. However this time, when the utility copied a misc_partition or something like that to my SD Card, it came up with a load of write errors, saying there wasn't enough room on my SD Card, which I know is wrong as there is well above 6GB on there, and it's a Goldcard. One advantage of the utility is, if anything goes wrong you can press CRTL-C and the utility will stop with no changes made to your phone, however in my case this wasn't so. I stopped the utility, thinking if I continued due to the write error I would encounter some more errors, and I decided to do a complete wipe of my phone using the on-board Factory Reset in the Setting's menu. After doing this, I started to encounter some problems.
First of all, when the phone enters the setup wizard, it says I have 4 bars of signal, and a 3G connection. After around 15 seconds of being in the Wizard, I will suddenly loose all mobile connection. After completing the setup wizard, I will be prompted by a notice telling me I need to Insert an SD Card. Well my card is in there, and I know its working because after these problems I put it into my brothers phone, and formatted it, and it showed up as working just fine. If an LG POP can mount my phone, surely a frigging HTC Desire can?
I have noticed that if I remove my SD Card, then the problems with the Network will go away and I will be able to connect, however sometimes when I boot it my phone will connect to the Network for about 5 minutes with the SD inserted, then return back to Limited Service. *I have attached a picture of what I am seeing.* This is really annoying me, I am going to download the Froyo 2.2 ROM from Shipped-Roms as the SD Card seems to mount fine in HBoot. Please though, can anyone help me. Thanks.
*This is starting to become very annoying now, I have been working on this for several hours now, and I still have no fix or nothing. I can't exactly be patient and I don't mean to sound like a tech addict, but my world revolves around my phone, I use it for business ect. When I connect my phone to my computer, I get a message saying 'Install Drivers For Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM' I have heard of CDMA before, but I don't think my phone is CDMA? My phone was originally branded Orange in the UK? Anyone that can help, just please please help me!
Hi, sorry I can't help with your problem as it seems too complicated to me (noob here) but reading what you wrote sort of alarmed me as I've been reading/watching videos on rooting and I thought that unrevoked (latest version) worked on any desire. It says so on the unrevoked site but you wrote you can't do it on yours because of new build of froyo.
Don't understand that, I'm on vodafone and asked advice to a few people about rooting and nobody told that I couldn't use unrevoked. Are you sure you can't use it. How about you do a factory reset and reflash rom and see how it goes. I do hope you're wrong about unrevoked though as I'm about to use it any day now (building up the courage...) Hope you get your problem solved.
well try to reinstall whole software via pc ...............
but check download latest version of official rom
back up your data as ur whole system sofware will be replaced
and do format ur sd in pc ( not a quick format )
hopefully it might resolve ur issues ( otherwise it seems a hardware issue >>>>>)
and i am not responsible for any sim locking or data loss sort of problems

Basically on the latest Froyo build from HTC (2.29.405.5) if you use Unrevoked, everything will go fine until it boots out of the bootloader to the actual software. On reboot Unrevoked will say 'Waiting for system to Settle'. This will never dissappear and it will wait for the system to settle forever and ever. However becuase you are branded on Vodafone, the chances are you're not running Froyo build 2.29.405.5, but a slightly older one. This is because when HTC release an update the phone companies have to put their software onto it, the the 2.29.405.5 update was only 5Mb, barely enough for the companies to be even bothered messing around with, so chances are you WOULD be able to root anyway, thanks for commenting.

Oh I know about data loss, Sim Locking and all that, been there, done that, got the T-Shirt, I've got a Utility on my computer that will unlock my phone and as for Data Loss, Google servers have it all
I've got a bit of an update though, I know your saying it's a hardware error but I think there are two key components here that aren't working.
- The SD Card
- The SIM Card
I have come to believe this, because I managed to use the PB99IMG file to update to the latest Froyo, and now my phone is saying there is an SD in there, but stats about the SD are unavailable in my phone, and also when trying to connect to the network, my phone will not connect to Orange. If I click on Manually Select, and I click on Orange, I get a message saying SIM won't allow connection to this network, if I do it with Automatic however, it just says unable to connect to the network at this time. I'm gutted I haven't been able to fix this yet, it's really annoying me because normally I would be able to sort this, been up all night trying to do it, any help is greatly appreciated.

Possibly a problem with my Device or HBoot? Could anyone point me to the correct RRU for me to reset my phone with? I am running the latest software version with a goldcard, the card won't mount when the phone is turned on, thanks.
This is for the 2.29.405.5 RUU

Really appreciate it mate, thankyou
*Update, I flashed this RRU, it's not working though :/
When you say not working what do you mean? More info needed!
Also, edit the 'Qualcom CDAM' thingy, that means its trying to install modem drivers - sounds you USB-bricked the phone

Yeah it won't connect in any way USB wise, and when IS ay not working, the OS works fine, connects to the network for the first 5 minutes, SD card won't mount, then after 5 minutes I get locked out of the network, and if I try and connect I get a message saying my sim won't allow connection to Orange :/ Think you can help?
Hello,
I've just started using this phone as my old one died on me and someone gave me this one secondhand.
It seems to have an update available but I can't get it!
If I'm on mobile data only it keeps telling me I have to use Wifi to download it which is annoying as I have unlimited data but there you go.
I've tried on 3 different peoples Wifi and every time it will get to somewhere between 5% and 30% and then error with a message that it can't update and a code of 801881d0.
Very frustrating!
I don't suppose there's any way round this ? If only I oculd download it on my PC and apply it or something but I've read that's not possible.....
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Dan
Hi, how much storage space do you have on your phone?
Well after 5 days of it failing to download on any WIFI connection I tried, suddenly the other night it said it had downloaded it. Hooray!
So I told it to install it, to which it told me I hadn't got enough space so I removed eveything I'd installed..... still not enough so I ended up uninstalling everything that it would let me on the phone till I was down to the bare minimum of apps and finally it decided to work.
After the update it decided it fancied going into a boot loop just to finish off the joy. After 20 minutes of fiddling with power and volume down combinations I eventually managed to get it to boot up and now, after another 2 updates, it finally says "Your software is up to date"
Phew!!!!
That was a lot more painful than it needed to be but we got there in the end!
Glad you got it fixed.
I believe the GDR3 update (which I think you were doing) is something like 800mb or so.
So basically you need to uninstall most of your apps to download and install it (I had to).
So WP8.1 should be fun to install! (Assuming it is released for the HTC 8S)
