[Q] Cant upgrade to the new 2.2.1 !! - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey every1!
I'm new to the android world and it seems quite big!!
i saw that the 2.2.1 update has been released a while ago but i didn't get anything yet!
i go to Setting > About Phone > System Software Updates tap on Check now and it says (There are no updates available for your phone)
Any help would be really appreciated!

The update has apparently been pulled, it caused more problems than it solved.

Wait are you serious?!
That sucks!!!! hehe
10x alot anyway!

I'm always serious.
A new update should be available soon. HTC are aware they made a booboo.

You can always do it manually using an ruu from shipped roms

I still unable to update it via RUU. Is there any other way to upgrade it? My phone is not rooted and I don't plan to root it.

Update was removed.

Is this abnormal for HTC? Or do they have a bad track record of this on their phones?

HTC won't remove the update from your DHD if you installed it.

They removed it from their update system, so anyone who wish to update now will not be able to.

Thats a shame!!
It was 1 step down for HTC!!!
Removing an update for the big amount of problems it has is just .. not good specially for Customers and their Reputation!!
Does anyone have an idea of the release date of the next update?
10x again!

Probably its buggy.

The update fixed some small things (better camera performance, optimisations), and fixed the initial root exploit.
However, it also created some unexpected bugs and in some cases (quite a lot actually) it also has corrupted sd cards.
I have had a call with HTC ref. the sd card and this will be likely replaced by another sd card, however, the guy I spoke with confirmed the update (for this and the other reasons) has been pulled and a new update would be released shortly.
Once you have the update, it is their to stay....unless....downgrade, root, etc...

[Q] Not getting 1.22.605.2 CL161494 update.

So, I know this update was from May, but I have not received it. I used to have this update, then I rooted. I then unrooted by downgrading with a video I found in android forums. At the end of the video, the guy got the 1.22.605.2 CL161494 ota. I as previously mentioned have not gotten this ota yet. Is it possible Verizon stopped pushing this out in preparation for today's froyo release. If this is true, can I upgrade directly to froyo? If not, does anyone have an update.zip?
Thanks

Did the same thing, have the same problem. Since I'm an exchange user as well, I should be getting the May OTA. I know Froyo is coming but I don't want to wait for that to fix the exchange bug. Anyone know where I can download the May OTA before Froyo gets pushed to my DINC?

So, turns out that in a tweet from vzwsupport that you have to go to a store, and have them push the update to you.

This doesn't make any sense to me,
so why would you have to go to the store oto have them push an OTA update from May?, why woulnd't you just use the most recent 2.1 RUU to get the update, and wait for the OTA?

Yea I saw that I thought that was talking about the Moto Droid.. do you see how it says "since its not being rolled out" that's not talking about the Incredible as it is being rolled out.
I still don't understand why you can't get 2.2 OTA did something happen?? I could probably upload a PB31IMG.zip for you of the latest 2.1 for you as well so you can download directly from your phone.
I am having the exact same issue here..
After I downgraded, there was an update.zip on the sd card.. should I push this in recovery?
Also, I HAVE done this downgrade in the past and have always gotten the OTA like a minute after the first boot.
It's okay, I live literally half a block away from a verizon store.
To the person above me, really? Where is it?
I do have this mysterious file 984878548161.gz

This is exactly what leads me to believe it has to do with the update being pushed. I had the same problem, so I just did the latest 2.1 RUU and got toe ROM.zip and made that into the PB31IMG.zip, and now I'm on the latest 2.1 waiting for the 2.2
So, if I do the latest ruu will it wipe my phone? Will the PB31IMG wipe my phone?

I highly doubt they will until after the update is fully done being pushed OTA. I bet they won't even have it yet to give to you.

I just read that they can't even do it at the store for android, it is only done OTA.
I don't see why they couldn't. According to @vzwsupport on twitter the update is done rolling out. I believe them, it will have been four months since that update came on September 3.

I don't think that an age limit is what should be added. I believe that we should add an account age limit(about 1-2 months or so) to prevent noob spamming.... There are more 13 year olds here who know how to root/flash here that some 25'ers

It will be rolled out when it's finished.
I was bored one day and went on to the Desire wiki page.
They claim there it'll be released this month.
Either way, the outcome won't help me either way, I'm using a custom ROM.

Even folks who use custom roms MAY benifit from a HTC released 2.3 version of the system as it may be used in future custom roms.

You can flash this only via RUU (and probably from SD card if you extract rom.zip). OTA is not available.
Were are all the people that ranted that there is no Gingerbread update now!
Lol, anyone has tested it?

There still technically isn't as most of the comments seemed to be for an OTA update.
So, is that it? Or can we expect more? As it stands, it's a big "take your ****ing GB and don't come running to us expecting support, suckers!"

Wait, let me guess - you won't be buying another HTC device unless you get moar?
awesome
I don't care if there is more, I'm happy with my installed ROM. I'm just in awe of htc's way of doing things, which I find inappropriate to say the least.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
i dont get what the big fuss over getting gingerbread from htc is, we already hav more gb roms than you can imagine to choose from, i can understand someone that hasnt a clue about android and there phone, they see there getting an update and think happy days, but surely all the people that are on xda should hav knowledge of rooting and stuff, so they dont need gingerbread as they already should hav it, im using xjs miui conversion and couldnt care less if htc release gingerbread, doesnt put me off buying another htc phone, ramble over lol
Any rooted realese?
I can only talk for myself, and in my case what bothers me is the whole " Gingerbread? yes! no! yes but not whole!" followed by nothing more than a developers build, released last minute. That's just f'ed.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
i try my best not to take any notice, yes its hard because its all you seem to see here, the thing is htc make brilliant phones, and while there making brillliant phones and the cleverer devs are rooting them and making amazing roms then we have nothing to worry about

Indeed. If they announce Gingerbread update via Facebook, it should be an update that the average Facebook user can actually get to their phone.
If they had announced here that a developer build was coming, that would have been ok. Then again, as a whole the amount of support for Desire wouldn't have been, only the announcement part.
timestamps on the files seem to suggest they have had this ready since 15th - 22nd july.
fairly last minute considering testing period
I don't remember them announcing it will be an OTA release. Even more, there was a rumor it might be a ruu. So they delivered the update on schedule, but you jumped to conclusions based on something they never promised, and now it is a problem too. It is not HTC's problem if majority of population who inhabitate Facebook's pages are idiots or not. Which they probably are
Bah so no on the air update? that sucks.
anyone checked to see if it is S-Off?
So that means that we normal users (unrooted) cannot install it?

"Hi everyone. We have more news about our build of Gingerbread for Desire. Our testing has gone well so we will begin rolling out the update by the end of July! Thank you again for your support!"
Ok.
Where is the rumor that it might be a ruu?How many times HTC released a rom by ruu, on any device???
The update on schedule was "by" not "at"...
"Testing has gone well" - that means that the update is in developer state or ready to release?What that means to you, smartass?
"It is not HTC's problem if majority of population who inhabitate Facebook's pages are idiots or not. Which they probably are " - do you have a Facebook page, moron? If you do, do you feel a little bit "idiotic"?

Do I take the update?

I have an update available on my new tablet I got yesterday day. Where do I find update info about it? Will I lose the ability to root if I take it?
Sent from my A100 using Tapatalk
I myself am new to the a100 community, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Now, from my current knowledge, if the update is for version 3.2.1, you will lose ability to root. With that said, if u want root, you should probably stay with ur current version.
Also, I believe some users have said they've been able to root the newer version (3.2.1) by the same 3.2 root method. They did encounter some problems but got around them easily somehow. But since I dnt know much on this, again, I advise against updating, unless you can confirm with someone whose successfully rooted the update and can get some clear instructions on how to root the newer version.

i have 3.2.1 and have rooted with su and others.
I myself have also updated to 3.2.1 and rerooted with no issues at all. The update is vital if you use headphones and hate how the screen autorotates when installing apks.
You can still easily achieve root with the new update, but we're still somewhat limited on what we can do with it because there has yet to be a custom recovery, or custom roms.
If you so choose to root, and find an Acer recovery tool on the market, don't use it because it won't work for the A100 and will definitely mess your tablet up.
After rooting, check out the "themes and apps" section to see what deb's have come up with for rooted tabs.
And remember, READ EVERYTHING BEFORE TAKING THE FIRST STEP!!!!!

No update, reporting in.
no update here either,anyone know how or by what criteria or location acer distribute it?
maybe going from 3.2 to 3.21 is only minor ,,but it does raise question of when ICS is released,will some have wait months longer than others?

UK O2 System Update

Im being offered a 20.01 MB system update but as I'm rooted can't install it. I'm wondering if its worth unrooting and taking it?
BTW I'm running a pretty ancient ROM so I'm not sure if there's a newer one which incorporates this update. Also I don't know what exactly the name of this update is, if anyone knows a way I could check that'd be appreciated, thanks.
