New Ota Update - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
At the moment i've recieved an update which says the version code is: ota_btavo_htc_eu_2.10.405.2-2.09.405.8_release567cypyi0feo4th5.zip
My current version is froyo 2.2 now, should i let my phone to upgrade this update, or will it downgrade my phone?
My phone is also rooted, is there a problem about this?

Don't use it as it will mess the phone up...

So i think my guess is right, this update is for version 2.1 right?

No, it's the 2nd 2.2 patch...it updates 2.09.405.2 to 2.10.405.2
You just can't install it as you're rooted

Eddy, I'm quoting your post on the other thread for clarification..
If this is an OTA, why cant he update it via Recovery? Would it still mess up the system?

It CAN mess it up, it's never a good idea to flash a stock update on a rooted phone...read other posts (not just mine ) and you'll see other people say this

Understood..

I'm little bit confused right now, sorry for being a rookie but can you explain this a little : "You'll need to turn off signature checking in your Recovery and then flash the update.zip as you would any other OTA but yes it should go through"
What should i do now, unroot? if so how, or what's this update's benefit, if its not so necessary i can pass it..
thanks by the way

Easiest way - find a custom ROM based on that ROM version. Most Sense-based ROMs should be on it by now
Other option is to unroot using the 2.10.405.2 RUU, or the 2.29.405.2 RUU. Then root again should you want to but if you're just going to put a custom ROM back on then there's no point

Aren't those completely stock and not rooted?
If you want a stock rooted PC36IMG, your best bet would be the Sprint Lovers ROM. It's about 99.9% stock and comes as a PC36IMG.

I know for a fact that these are rooted versions of the 3.70 OTA because I have personally flashed both the ODEXED and DEODEXED versions.

I highly recommend you download and flash the stock ODEXED 3.70 rom listed in the link I provided earlier if you want "exactly" the rom you had when you purchased your EVO (rooted, of course).

Do I need to install one of these to complete an OTA update?

I am totally new to xda, though fairly technically adept with years of Linux experience, which is to say, I am not clueless, but I'm totally lost with this.
I rooted my evo with unrevoked3. I installed unrevoked-forever. I did not install a custom ROM (unless one of the above processes installed one for me). I tried to install the 4.22.651.2 update OTA, but after the progress bar got a third of the way, the package on the screen turned into a warning symbol + android, and just stayed there until I did a battery pull.
I am clueless as to what to do next to allow the OTA update to install. Do I need to install one of the above? Do I need to S-on?

...but if you want to be rooted, just flash the rooted version of the stock rom. You can keep s-off, that way if you change your mind and want to go back to root, you can just flash recovery and then flash a rom. If you don't want to be rooted anymore, or don't mind waiting for a root exploit, go ahead and flash the s-on zip. At the moment Unrevoked, or anything else for that matter, can not root the OTA if you're s-on.

Ahhh... So I won't be able to be rooted and use the OTA update for now? I thought I could unroot, install the update, and root again.
I don't use any custom ROMs. Heck, I haven't even changed the original wallpaper. I rooted just for Wireless Tether, Titanium Backup and to use the Root Uninstaller to get rid of the pre-installed apps I didn't want.
I really appreciate the help. I am less confused about the process now, but more confused about aligning my technical goals with what I want to do with my phone.
No. If you unroot and install the OTA, you cannot root again. There is no method yet.
You're best bet is to stay rooted and flash the Stock/Rooted ROM

Unable to get OTA Update on Dedire HD PD98IMG.zip.

HEY GUYS.
I M RUNNING PD98IMG.zip WITH RADIO S-OFF DOWNGRADEF FROM LEAKED GINGERBREAD 2.3.3. DONOT HAVE GENUIN ROM WHICH CAME WITH PHN.
WHAT TO DO HOW TO GET OTA UPDATE...??
HEEEEELLLLPPPPP ....!!!!

I dont think official updates are available for a device having Radio S-Off . If you really want the updates, i am guessing you have to go back all the way to stock, S-On. Search this forum for how to do that.
Just as an opinion, instead of going for stock and updates, just use custom roms. Theya are way wayyy better..
the only thing that you need its a WEE OFICIAL RU froyo for obtain the update via OTA, (also you can update your phone from htc sync via usb) its not neccesary do s on or unroot phone

[Q] OTA fails with a red triangle

I have an unbranded T-Mobile Desire HD running 1.32 it has full root with S=off, CID is standard tmobile and the standard recovery – the rom is intact no apps have been removed.
I have downloaded the OTA 102 mb it verifies ok but on boot fails about 10% into the update. I guess it is verifying something before proceeding with the update. It fails with a red triangle centre screen with a red exclamation mark
Does anyone know why the update stops with a red warning triangle and I have to take the battery out to restart the phone.
Hi
I have the same problem but my DHD was never branded ,never rooted, i already did a factory reset no app was removed.
I also get the red triangle after that if push POWER + VOLUME UP i get Android system recovery screen
where i can see the following

Try deleting the OTA file from your sdcard and downloading it again, maybe it just didnt download properly, so some files are damaged.
@starfish. The ota won't work if your rooted. You have two options 1) ruu back to stock *no root* then apply the update but will be rootless 2) flash a rooted stock gingerbread Rom(my recommendation)
@night. The download my be corrupted. Try deleting it and download and apply the ota

Just to save everyone some time - nope, re-downloading won't work. If you've rooted you're phone, HTC has taken a rather cavalier attitude towards installing this update.
Still taking a bash at it, but for now the only dependable methods of getting this to work is either downloading and flashing a stock RUU, or downloading and flashing a ROM that's already got the 2.3 update installed.
Please note that, in either of these scenarios, you won't have root access anymore. So far, trying to root via Visionary on 2.3 hasn't been successful - fails on temproot. Haven't tried manually rooting it yet.
Also as noted on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084381
Be careful when reverting to factory default on 2.3 - there seems to be an option for clearing the SD Card as well.
I do have a couple of frozen apps - I'll unfreeze them and try again
but from what is said it seems that if I:
1 un-root 1.32 (using visionary) and leave s=off
2 then the update should install.
3 I can them use ginger-break to get root again and then perm root?

My error is the same as your yet I am root s-off
It seems that status 7 failures maybe a version mix issue - old nexus thread
Same as before. After you go through the steps and reboot, you will be at 2.3.2. Here is where things get interesting. It seems that you need another update. Its for people who get the “Status 7″ error.
This is mostly due to a firmware (those who have: GRH78C or GRH78). Here you will need to apply the LAST UPDATE, the same way you applied update1 and update2:

OK after some reading and with starfish's link, I think night falls under the mixed version issues some people had on the nexus. Some people were not able to jump directly to the newest update (2.3 to 2.3.4). They had to update in steps. From your post you are on build 1.32. I think you need to jump up to the 1.7x/1.8x/1.9x ota before going up to gingerbread.
But thanks to andyharney you can ruu up gingerbread.
Here's is his link to the gingerbread ruu. Just rename it and.flash through hboot. This way though will erase everything so make.sure to back up stuff

There is no need to flash the RUU if you're on stock firmware and rooted (running clockworkmod that is). With little modifications to the update zip it can be flashed without problems and root will pertain. I've done it myself 10 days ago. I'll write up the guide for you in an hour or so.

The RUU has to be run from a windows machine. Renaming it will not work.
I do however have the OTA file on my site now. You can find that HERE.
Not sure if you have to rename it to update.zip or leave it as it is, but you flash it in bootloader/recovery.
Hi Starfish I had the same problem had to unroot and get S-OFF to get the 2.3 update via OTA. Now obviously have 2.3 Gingerbread but with unrooted and S-ON.
Your best bet is to flash with 2.3 RUU as you have S-OFF and then use Ginger break to root so then you will have 2.3 that's S-OFF and rooted still.

Hi all,
I am having the same problem, get red triangle everytime I try to update my DHD.
My phone is rooted using Visionary, but I don't follow what has been said (complicated).
Is there a guide of what has been written in this thread?
Any comments would be appreciated.

Downgrade

Is it possible to downgrade from the new Gingerbread release back to Froyo? I would love to be able to get back to the previous version and root my phone. I really don't see much different in Gingerbread that would make it worth keeping. Also, is there any hope of unrevoked working on Gingerbread anytime soon?

If you were not rooted and had S-OFF before you installed the update, then no there is no way to downgrade now. I imagine there will be a new root method for Gingerbread, but nobody knows when that will happen.
Jeff
actually, having S-OFF would be a good thing right? meaning you can reflash an older stock rom through HBoot.....I think what you mean is having S-ON and having the new Gingerbread release is where you cant re-root it.....I'm personally in that boat and I havent even recieved the "new new" Gingerbread, I just have the August 17 OTA (605.2) still waiting for the (605.3) OTA to get to me.

Yes, I mean if you were not rooted and had S-ON then you would not be able to root again until there was a fix. My mistake.
I think the rollout should be completed by the end of the week. The original rollout in August was going to take a week to complete.
I'm not sure if I understand this correctly. I just checked and I am S-Off so does that mean it's possible to install a different ROM? If so, how do I do that in this case?

You need to make sure you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed and then it's just a question of finding a Froyo ROM. You can install via the recovery or ROM Manager, just like normal.
S-Off + ClockworkMod = any ROM you want, any time, forever
I'm not going to specifically point anything out, but If you search around for posts you should be able to find something. I know there's a few posts about it because that's the only think I found when I was searching.

If you don't have the Superuser app in your app drawer, you aren't rooted. You'll need to flash a recovery using HBOOT, and naming the zip PB31IMG.zip method.

System updates ?

Hey sorry if this was addressed already in another thread. Just picked up a One X yesterday. I've since unlocked bootloader and rooted phone. Just playing with stock rom for now before I jump into custom rom.
My question is, I keep getting notifications for system update available. Should I avoid these updates ? don't want to loose root and unlocked bootloader
Thanks!
Just do the update and then re-root - bootloader isn't touched once unlocked unless you manually lock it yourself

If you have already flashed a custom recovery, you will need to flash back the stock recovery to apply the update.

Yeah when I unlocked bootloader, I immediatley flashed cwm. Hmmm seems like alot of flashing back and forth for these updates.
Should have done all the updates first I guess
Maybe I'll just flash an already tweaked rom
When you update it updates your hboot as well as your rom. Its worth pointing out that if an s-off exploit comes out for an earlier version of the hboot you might not be able to downgrade. If you're not having specific problems such as screen flicker I would not update.

If you do upgrade then given the number of problems people have it's also a good idea to make sure a RUU is available that matches the version you intend to upgrade to. That way if everything goes south you can flash the RUU and get it back up and running.
