[changelog] ota 2.29.405.2 - Desire General

Changelog for OTA 2.29.405.2:
- New radio - 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 (EddyOS)
- New version of Flash than 2.10.405.2 (EddyOS)
- New Facebook app version 1.4.1 (jobalz)
- New "Related" tab in the Market (arewenotmen)
- New "Group message" button in Messages (milosmeda)
Finally, there are not much changes found yet and I'm wondering why this update was released. I was expecting the new Sense, but maybe this update is just to update the radio, because the new Sence requires it. Just a thought.
So if anybody saw a difference please post, so we can gather all changes in one place.
PS. I did not wanted to use the other post because too much offtopic in it.
PS2. Let's keep the post for changes only.
PS3. If you have root and apply the OTA update you may face problems. Read before doing it.

- New radio - 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
- New(er) version of Flash than 2.10.405.2
That's literally all I've noticed

- problem with battery on 90% when yout put off the charger in the morning is gone now.

new facebook app

Is it (facebook app) newer than the one on the marketplace?

Not in the RUU. Was 1.3.2 and Market is now 1.4.1

I would have thought the only likely thing updated about facebook would be something like the friendstream/facebook linking things...

Did you notice earlier in the world clock tool (after clicking on clock) you can see in which cities you have set is the night (black hour) or day (white)?

I rooted my phone but I kept the original ROM.
It might be a stupid question but still:
Is this OTA going to upgrade HBOOT and unroot my phone?

Yes and it will also screw your phone up leading to a hard reset and losing all your data. You shouldn't apply an OTA to a rooted ROM

Ok, dont want to ask a stupid question but here goes...
I have just updated to this OTA update and now my wifi is not working, its just saying error...
My phone is not rooted, I used the gold card method to flash a htc rom, without the orange bloatware my phone came with...
I have done a couple of OTA updates with no problem, the only issue I had one is that the baseband(i think??) got changed and I had to buy an unlock code to make it recognise my sim !
Any ideas on this?

Okay. My mobile is rooted with official ROM.
Now i pressed update to 2.29.blabla.
Would this brick my desire?
My screen is now like this after auto restart for update:

all the time. (30 min now).
What should i do?

If
You
Are
Rooted
You
CANNOT

An
OTA
Without

Problems
How many more times does it need to be said!?!?!?! Seriously??
you also need a gold card for ALL updates if you had to use one to debrand

No, 0.93 isn't new ver of HBOOT so you'll be able to root it again with unrevoked.

sry i even asked - please ignore my questions !!!

maybe someone could help how to install this upgrade to the phones where unrevoked3 has been used ?
or maybe someone has a list what has been changed/updated with this upgrade ?

It has been said more than enough but no one would read it.
For the second question - did you see the title of this thread?
Edit: This thread is turning into a chat

Can someone monitor the heat before & after the upgrade? If it didn't fix the 2.2 Desire overheating problem, this upgrade feels useless to me.

I see a new setting for VPN. Was this already there or is it new?

Please Help Wifi Not working after 1.21.405.2

Ok the other day i decided to get rid of the orange rom from my HTC Desire so i created a goldcard flashed the testruu.exe file then i rooted my phone. yesterday i decided to unroot it and reflash the htc generic rom. all was working perfect then today i checked for ota update. there was one ready to download so i got it installed and it was working fine. ive just got home from work now and my wifi says unable to start under settings. dont know how its happened
Any ideas how to fix this.
Thanks in advance.
p.s.
please dont tell me ive got to flash my phone again otherwise i will get all my friends iphones to rape the desire right up the usb slot
you could try doing a manual update using the RUU 1.21.405.2 in the dev forum. I used that and I have no wi-fi problems...
Funny, the other reports of broken wi-fi I've read seem to be from people who had previously rooted their phones too...
Is there no other way around this other than flashing the rom?
Doubt it, but it's pretty soon after the official roll-out. Give it time and somebody might figure something out.

Mine has never been rooted and I have the same wi-fi problem after the 1.21.405.2 update.
Not so funny then, I guess.
Try flashing with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684259
It's the same update... but it works. At least, it worked on mine and many others. It will wipe everything so make sure to back up first.
Same here...Never rooted, but I did de-brand with a generic ROM using a GoldCard. Can't start Wi-Fi.
Does anyone know if T-Mobile customers with the stock T-Mobile ROM have received this update?
Hello. Exactly same problem for me: Orange France ROM flashed to official HTC, and after upgrade unrecognized wifi. It was never rooted.
How to be sure to have an official ROM ?
Thanks.
Ok, so it's not rooting, but we now have three people in this thread who have flashed to the generic rom and then updated, who now have broken wireless.
Teppic24 - how about you? Did you debrand your phone? Just curious. If that's the issue maybe we can warn people who have done the same...
Yes I did de-brand.
So basically, everybody in this thread who has wireless issues, de-branded their phone before applying the update?
There's a pattern here...
It's exactly the same for me. I debranded my French Orange HTC Desire with the official HTC Rom, and now no more Wifi
What's more, I have never rooted my Desire.
arrrrrrggggghhhh Help!
Just flashed it using the same 1.21.405.2 rom from the dev section and now its asking for sim network unlock pin
I put in my goldcard and booted to fastboot then with my phone connected to pc i ran the rom.exe and it installed booted up and now its asking for sim network unlock pin.
Any ideas plz
Thanks
Dion
Yeah, I don't know what exactly the issue is, but the debranding does seem to be the culprit (so far, anyway)
As mentioned previously, you can probably fix it by flashing your Desire with the rom linked in the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684259
It's an official release. It will wipe everything, so make sure to back up first.

I take it a Goldcard is still required to flash that, even for de-branded phones?

Yep...and now I feel like a **** for leaving it lying around my overly tidy girlfriend who doesn't take care of what she's throwing out when she's gone all Monica for the day.
Well, I just plugged my phone in and opened the RUU on my pc. But my desire is a stock, unaltered model.
I don't know if it will be the same for you guys.
With my unabeled wifi, rebranded HTC rom after Orange, my base band version is:
32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11
In hope it helps...
It seems that there is no trouble with this one : 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2.
If someone want to make a test ... and there an other one : 32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2
Silly question probably, but I don't care:
Is it possible to flash only the baseband ?

European HTC Desire and Legend OTA update

HTC have made a press release via Twitter, going to update when I get to a WiFi point and let you know the details. Fingers crossed for divx, I can't imagine this is Froyo

Sounds like the one Vodafone dropped last week. Not noticed any differences other than the office icon myself. Don't use Facebook tho ...
I started freaking out a little, the update took it's time to install and I thought I might be in a boot loop. The moral of the story is not to panic.
No 720p recording, no DIVX support.
Text messages display the message count. Erm, looking hard for anything exciting here.
I wouldn't be surprised if we never see HD recording and Divx, they promised android 2.1 pretty much as soon as i had my hero last summer, its sold now and there is still no official update for it yet.
I know people say this is there new phone but so was the hero back then, give it time a better phone will be out and they will probably stop supporting this properly.

I had a Hero and did exactly what you have; sold it because the update never came.
I want to believe that they have learned from their mistakes, OTA updating is a lot better on the Desire. I'm worried that we will have another Hero though and no timely update to Froyo.
1. Warning: Be careful when updating. Maybe root will not be possible anymore!
2. Does this update change the bootloader? Which version is it after the update?
3. Is there already an update.zip for rooted devices?

I prefer to not change my bootloader, just update system, boot and stuff like that.

Unable to start Wifi - bad update - need a step by step

Hi all,
Last night i installed the new update for HTC Desire that popped up, after restarting the phone i now cant use my wifi and get the "unable to start wifi" when trying to enable it in settings.
I see this is a cause of the new update and alot of poeple are having the same problem. I have searched this forum and although finding other posts asking this the replies seem to be a mind boggling array of numbers and i can find a good step-by-step guide to get my phone back in good shape.
So my question is, can someone post a very detailed step-by-step guide to essentially get my phone back to the way it was (getting rid of this update) and then installing this new update properlly if posible. If any files are needed can you give a direct link to them
Here are my phone details:
T-mobile simunlocked and not branded
Isn't/has never been rooted

I had the same problem, what i did was : create a goldcard and root my phone again thus returning to the previews version. That fixed my wifi..i don't know if there is a guide to keep the update and fix it at the same time.
the pirority for me is to get my wifi back up and working, i dont really care about the new update atm.

Download and reinstall the older ROM file? I lost my Wifi after updating my debranded Orange Desire. I simply reinstalled the same ROM i originally used to debrand the phone and soon had my wifi back in no time

Ye a step by step for that would be good, including the link to the file would that wipe the whole phone ? apps/sd and settings included?
Exactly the same problem for me!
I have a Vodafone supplied desire, which was not locked, or branded in anyway, but decided that I would like the WWE rom, as Vodafone almost never bother updating their roms!
I made a Goldcard 3 weeks ago, and installed the WWE Generic rom 1.15.405.4 (I think that's the right number) and a few days ago, got the message telling me of an update.
Like an idiot, I just installed it, and consequently lost WIFI.
Searched the forums and found a link to the full updated rom, using my Goldcard I then installed it, and it's been working fine ever since.
Heres the link to the full rom:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
Here's a link for making a Goldcard:
http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
Please be aware that this will completely wipe your device, unlike the update that keeps all of your apps, settings etc, but it does work!
Good luck!

Use the links provided by pergolesi and you should be ok.
Unfortunately because i am new on here i cannot post or send links. Sorry.
Thank you for the replies, ill see what other ppl come up with and see where to go from there
I did the exact same think as many other people, Goldcard Unbranded my Orange Desire few weeks ago, did the OTA update and got my phone Network locked, so I purchased a unlock code and feared my wi-fi would not work when I put the code in, my wifi works fine? , Im wondering what was so different for me? maby if we can figure that out might help other people.

This may be a stab in the dark but maybe the updater checks the network sim lock to help determine what update to install? It may see the Orange network lock and think the phone is still Orange branded and download the Orange customized update, causing a compatibility issue with the wi-fi?

Vodafone UK OTA - 2.33.161.2

Someone else has mentioned this on another forum, thought I'd give a heads up here
Anybody who knows what exactly changed with this OTA?
Think it's just smoother playback on 720p video from what someone on the Vodafone forum said...they never have change logs to updates so other than that no idea
should I
Think i will hold off i got stung by vodafone last time who filled my phone with there 360 crap
Confirmed on Vodafone website from others who've downloaded it that there is NO Vodafone gumpf so you're good to go
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/topic/80416-2331612/page__gopid__515537&#entry515537
I got it just now and can't find any changes yet...
The update file is 30.8MB. It's a big file for not changing much.
would someone please root this one and make it with superuser and the usual stuff? interests me very much - thanks in advance
Why not just flash it and then root it again?
Does anyone knows what has exactly been changed???
Read the thread I posted up there...
"Hi Guys
I have got the HTC Desire, but haven't updated it yet, as I want to back up my information first.
The information that I have been given is that the improvement included an upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1 for better video play, addition of Google security patches, the latest Gmail client, and a few bugs have been ironed out from the previous update.
I hope you all enjoyed the latest update.

Yeah I want to but I can't find the update??
I can't seem to update this. I get a signature verification error and failed install.
I've tried downloading a number of times.
Is this because I've rooted the phone?
TIA
Yes it is, you need to be unrooted. You can try turning off signature checking in Clockwork Mod but it might go a bit funny
How can I do this update? My phone is rooted. Do I just unroot, update, reroot? Thanks
You can't 'unroot' without wiping all data as you have to use an RUU. Fortunately there is this RUU now available in ROM Development so you can just flash it
Find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853937
How do I flash it, just run it? When I flash it what happens? Do I still have ClockWorkMod installed or do I have to reroot?

New HTC Desire Firmware Update Available (2.29.405.2)

A new update is available for the HTC Desire bringing its firmware version up to 2.29.405.2. The update is only confirmed to be going out to unlocked Desire handsets for now, no word on if and when carrier-locked versions will have their go. A changelog hasn’t been provided just yet, but the 28.87MB size and word from Desire users suggests this is a simple maintenance release.
Of course, some speculate it could be preparing the device for Gingerbread compatibility once that time comes, but there is nothing to suggest that just yet. You can check on the update as always through your ‘Settings/About Phone System software updates’ menu. Be warned you will need 25MB of free internal storage before the update will be granted to you.

Sorry for being a complete noob but does this apply to anyone using a custom rom?
No it doesn't. These updates are only for non-rooted, stock ROMs.
Thanks for the heads-up.

Ok now I went on and did the most stupidest thing I could think of. I actually managed to install the update on a rooted Desire and now it wont boot, Im stuck in a boot loop ( Can someone please help me with this problem?
Which is why people say don't flash on a rooted ROM
use "search forum" for unrooting/stock recovery
You must download and use PB99IMG via recovery...
I've allready made this mistake but recovered
Can't see another thread...
Just did the upgrade, haven't really noticed anything yet, although the onscreen keyboard I THINK looks a bit different.
