add h to the front of the link.
im getting this am im clueless.
I downloaded it using the link directly from HTC, you need to be on a stock 1.47 (I did a reinstall of 1.47 from the HTC ruu, so it was a clean install), copy the update to your sd card and name it update.zip, power off, turn on by pressing power and vol up, select bootloader, then select recovery, once you are at the htc phone with red exclamation mark screen press power and vol up, select apply sdcard: update.zip, it will start scanning the file, then it will prompt to reboot, it will reboot to a green circle with an arrow and begin the installation. Those are the steps I followed and mine updated to 2.2 successfully.
no i downloaded it from Engadget on my phone and then copied it to the computer for safe keeping. but then cleared all storage as well and then added it back on there. on the sd and it will not load.
it just keeps saying that not the right file.
i followed all the instructions to the T.
FYI im unrevoked. Shouldnt matter.
Ok and what were those another time bc i did not see any other then the download.
hey thanks i for got i was on 1.32 still but with up date 1 so i guess that is the issue then. will check it out and see. thanks
Android police has a mirror for the update. HTC has delete the link form their site. I am just letting you guys know how I did it. My phone was not rooted. All stock, from original release to 1.47 update and now this 3.26 update (froyo 2.2).
Anyone else think i gotta get rid of unrevoked off my evo, go to the previous RUU and then update?

Probably so if you want to try 2.2. Also, engadget has a statement from HTC regarding this update:
Update: HTC just shot us a message to clarify that this is not the final ROM version and that the company is strongly recommending not to install this. Additionally, a request has been put in to remove the file from the server, so if you still want to try at your own risk, better download now while it's still available.
Update 2: ... and now it's gone. We're sure crafty internet users can still find the file lingering elsewhere, but you won't be getting it from HTC's servers this weekend. You know the old saying, ye who snoozes, something something, tough luck.
Its running fine for me, so I we will have to see on 8/1 what the ota version will be.
ok i just updated to the 1.47 and now its telling me that the it can not open the sd card. and or failed to open directory
OK PEOPLE DONT COME IN HERE TELLING US HOW TO DOIT OR WHAT THIS OR THAT SITE SAYS. WE KNOW!!
Now back on topic.
so i get now signature verification failed
this is what is says in full.
--Install from sdcard...
finding updated package....
opening update package....
verifying update package...
E:failed to open/sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)
E:signature verifcaiton failed

so what am i doing wrong. i have checked to files and they should all be there. so if some one has a link to the file that i might need to redownload the update and try all over.

I had issues with my sd since I purchased the phone (wouldn't show up as a drive on a mac, etc), I formatted the sd card earlier this week, and now all my problems are gone.

I wasn't saying not to do it, in fact I am trying to help, I did mine successfully. I was just posting HTC's response as to why they removed the file from their servers. They say it isn't the final Froyo 2.2 update.
that i did. and i even tried just leaving it the way was downloaded. and still it does the same. that is the reason maybe i need to redownload it. any links to a download.
I don't have rights to post links, sorry
Edit: guess I do, lol

Also, even though HTC is saying this isn't the final update, it has the build number sprint posted, 3.26.651.3, so not sure what else is missing.
Hello xda, in accordance with the signup video I have scoured the earth looking for an answer. However I'm not sure how much necro posting is frowned upon here so I thought it would be safer to just start a new thread.
I have an HTC Desire HD from Telus(for use on the Rogers network). I am in the process of rooting it but have encountered a problem. I can gain temporary root on the terminal emulator(Because the $ turns to #) however when attempting to run clockwork flash clockworkmod recovery I get the error "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"
I get the same error when attempting the "Fix Permissions" so I'm currently at a loss of what to do.
I have the ninja superuser icon in the apps menu however when I open it the screen is blank. I am unsure if this is how it is supposed to be or not. I have seen several references to a permission box that pops up during some of the steps but I haven't seen that at all.
I've tried four separate methods, the last of which coming from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954997
I am currently at step B.d which involves running the S-OFF tool and Easy Radio OFF tool. But still clockwork will not flash a backup, and when I restart the phone I can not get super user to work on the terminal (ie by typing su) and must use the rage method to regain temporary root.
Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but when I restart the phone and attempt to boot in recovery mode, the volume buttons don't allow me to select other options, and instead the phone just forces me to reboot normally.
Some more facts:
model HTC Desire HD A9191
Build # 1.32.405.6
Android 2.2
Anymore info I'm probably forgetting just ask away!
So my question is: Can anyone identify what the issue is?
Thanks much for taking the time to read my question.
Does visionary not work for you?
I've seen that alot of success has been gained by doing temp root and perm root through it?
It does sound like the rage method might not be working for you from what I can tell..
I do want to check all the steps you followed before where fine?

Visionary was how I rooted mine. Worth a try if you havent tried it: http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
Thanks for the visionary suggestion, but Visionary still isn't working :/
Has visionary been tested with the Telus Desire? I heard there was a difference. What happens when I attempt to temproot is it moves to a blank screen then goes back to the menu.
When I used visionary on 1.32 it did not always work first try ... generally always worked after 2 runs. then used it to perm root
It works. You do not have Telus software in your phone anymore.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Try my method (I made it because the methods I found for my Telus desire HD were flaky at best and only got temproots from it.)
Since you already flashed to 1.32 start at step 2
If you want to go gingerbread, dl the 2.36.405 ruu and use that and your pc to put 2.3.3 on it (dont worry, it works fine, i was using it since it came out and built a rom based off that, kingdom, and pyramid roms for my own sense 3 rom) and use the gingerbreak method.

Disable your Antivirus (Avast say's its malicious), Norton or F-Prot says its clean.
and Internet Explorer 9 says its not trustworthy (because there's .bat files in the zip), Firefox says its fine.
There is no malicious code in the zip, you can edit each individual batch file in the Resource folder to see the code. Its very simple and basic.
I disabled my antivirus, but when I run Install Visionary nothing happens. The CMD window opens and says it has been succesfuly installed but nothing has been installed, and nothing appeared in the app menu.
Edit: I went into the resource folder and then followed the steps from there and everything worked, except I still don't have the # symbol in terminal (even when entering "su") and ROM manager still gives me the same error.

go into the resource folder, edit the visionary install batch in notepad, delete the "cls" line, save and exit
rerun it with the phone attached. See if it truly installed successfully.

you dont need to use the termial in my method.
Once visionary is installed, and you run it, and everything is done exactly whats described in my 9 easy steps thread (along with outcomes along the way), then you should be perm rooted, with s-off and eng-off with supercid.
I managed to install visionary with your method, however when running Eng-S I encountered the error "Bootloader corrupt, DO NOT REBOOT! Seek help from XDA!"
Help?
Edit: Followed the advice here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14936635 and s-off worked properly this time. Hopefully my DHD won't brick on reboot. Could super user be the problem? it never asks me for permissions or anything, all I have is an icon and a blank screen when i open the app.
Edit2: Rom manager took three attempts to install correctly. Still the same result "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

looks like the superuser application isnt running properly.
I would use the 1.32 ruu (not the pd98img.zip off the sd) and then from a fresh install (without resoring any data other than google account to visit the market)
run through the visionary, s-off tool, eng-off tool, and then reboot again, then install rom manager from the market, run it, it should ask you for permission and may hang for a second, and then say you have about 5 seconds to allow root permissions.
Then install rom's away. if you're not into making seperate rom specific app folders on your sd card, google JSL Er3BuS. its a sense 3 rom without the extra scripts.
How do I install the 1.32 RUU if I can't install it from the SD card?
Thanks!

It is very easy mate,
1. Download the RUU of your choice from http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
2. Put your phone in charge mode only with USB debug on.
3. Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your PC, and close HTC Sync application from your system bar in windows (make sure that HTC Sync is not running as all you need is the driver)
4. Right click on the RUU file and select "Run as Administrator"
5. Connect your DHD by the USB cable to your PC.
6. Click some boxed and "next"s.
7. Waiting!
8. Profit!
I tried following the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
But got the error "ERROR [120]: Low MAIN BATTERY POWER. When the battery is above 30%.
This is getting ridiculous lol
I'm sorry I'm such a bother.

Tried this, now the update process has taken 45 minutes.
Well, it took 5 hours to finish, but finish it finally did. Rom manager installed no problem, flashed no problem and I am in the process of installing cryogen. Thanks everyone for their help and kind words.
Fingers crossed cryogen works.
I'm going away for the weekend, but when I come back I'll update this thread with the full details of what went down so hopefully someone will be helped by my many many hours spent raging.

Glad its sorted for you , and hoping it status that way...enjoy your custom roms setting your phone free
Look forward to your post letting us know how its going.
Sent from outer space on my DHD running beatmod gingersense v1.3
Got the device today, and already came with the bootloader unlocked and S-On...but every method I've tried just doesn't work - even temporary root.
Here's the info on the phone:
-T-Mobile Wildfire S (Marvel PVT) running 2.3.5
-Firmware - 2.17.531.1
-HBOOT - 1.08.0099
Any driver files I've seen are either dead links or "not available in my country" (I'm in the USA), but I'm almost positive I have the appropriate drivers on my Win7 64-bit install, since anything I've had to do on my G2 was problem-free.
Here's what I've tried, all in both "charge only" and "HTC sync" mode, with HTC sync disabled/not running on the PC:
-SuperOneClick - freezes at step #7
-Gingerbreak - endlessly "works" and never accomplishes anything
-Flashing anything via the bootloader fails, either due to not being the "right" image (picks up and starts loading/installing, but then it seems like the file is corrupt and it's aborted - and I've tried multiple files/versions) or failing due to some Model ID mismatch or something
-Flashing a recovery through fastboot (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503393) seems to have bricked my recovery
-Anything else in that guide (basically anything zergRush) fails to copy anything over to /system or /sbin or whatever even though it says it successfully rooted at the end
-The temporary root procedure gives me some random error about drivers in the middle of the process and fails
I'm at my wits end here - I just don't know what I'm doing wrong, if anything. If I had known the Wildfire S would be such a PITA just to root, I probably wouldn't have gotten it and saved up for something else...at least I still have my G2 =/
Check that only one instance of ADB is running (in task manager).
try installing Busybox and Superuser from the market first then trying one of the other methods again

Tried that too, didn't work.
Ended up doing a full reset because it refused to mount the SD card on my PC at some point, and tried this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22178267&postcount=128
And managed to get it rooted that way. Much more inclined to keep my new WFS now
I have tmobile us and all I did was install cwm recovery and flashed a root.zip file. You can pm me if you need the file.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using xda premium
I know this thread's been dead for a couple months, but I didn't see that it was resolved...did you turn usb debugging on?
You need that on to root these phones...
Edit : NVM, I should have read a little bit more. Please disregard.
I've tried pulling it from /cache which works.... but not really
when trying to open it I get an error. can't remember exactly what the error was but it's something like "file does not exist"
once I have this file, I'm fairly confident I can create a guide on how to update rooted tabs (and keep root of course) as I've done this previously with the Acer Iconia A700
any help would be appreciated... just need to get my hands on this file whether by download or description of how to properly obtain it.
already tried Samsung's website... there's no downloads of any kind available
if anyone has kies installed maybe you could acquire it from there and upload
Hi All,
I have a LG G3 (European d855) that was previously running CyanogenMod 13, a long time ago it refused to install future updates either over the air or flashing, I left it a long time as it was only a secondary phone I used for work.
I have since decided to flash a fresh OS (Lineage and also tried AOSCP) as the only important thing on this phone was my contacts. At first TWRP was giving me an error 7 no matter what ROM I downloaded, I read to change the script in META-INF to bypass the security feature to remove the "Asserts" re-package and try again. So I used the adb push command to add the new packaged file to the device and attempted to flash. I now get a new error "could not find META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary" in the zip file (the binary file was never edited).
Also as a side note I can no longer connect with adb when I had no issues before. The phone currently has no OS and refuses to install any package.
Could I possibly have corrupt partitions?
Any help will be much appreciated
