[Q] Where can I find 3.30.651.2 update?

Does anyone know where I can find this update in the form of a zip? I'd like to flash it on my flash. It originally came with it, along with hboot 2.02. After tossing and turning im somehow on 3.29.
If theres RUU, great, i just don't know how to use it...

something like this?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836728

Thanks, but I was actually referring to an untouched version of the that Rom. I want to be able to flash it from an unrooted ego I'm using right now, assuming that's possible.

you cant flash if its not rooted.
if you are just trying to get the latest update on your phone, have you tried doing it directly on the phone thought he System Updates menu?
most of the roms are in the development section, like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835996

[Q] Installing Stock Gingerbread Sense ROM?

edit: Sorry for posting in the wrong section! someone move this please
Hi!
What's the best way to install the latest stock ROM for HTC Desire Z?
I have rooted, installed hboot-eng, s-off, flashed clockworkMod recovery and installed cyanogenmod 7.
Now I'd like to try the current (Gingerbread) official ROM from HTC.
is it safe to flash with the hboot-eng and s-off?
Where can I get it?
Thanks!

Lol
The XDA app now has a thanks button. Please use it

I dont think the section is named Q&A.
Then there is the search button. Its free and wont take you to court for abusing it.

You're in the wrong section, buddy.
I believe you just flash the latest update or install one of the official ones and take the OTA update fromt here. It'll take you back to s-on and that's it.

Ooops sorry I wanted to post in the Q&A... was on the wrong Tab I think.
Anyway. I tried the search but it said it's currently unavailable. I tried searching with Google. I looked through all the suggested posts after I entered the subject.
I really tried to find the info. This forum is a rough place for a noob.

Try and flash virtuous sense its the stock rom optimized
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837042

I tried Virtuous (and many other ROMs)... CM is the best imo, except it's missing a good dialer.
I just like to try the original ROM.
Meanwhile I recovered a backup with the stock Froyo ROM and started the OTA update, but I fails to install. It says something like "E:cannot mount SDARD:downloads/(long file name).zip. Aborting installation" in ClockworkMod recovery.
Do I have to uninstall the recovery image before updating OTA?

Well that is the stock rom with under the hood things done. Also I don't know why you would want to go back to froyo

I don't want to go back to Froyo (that worked) but to Gingerbread.
It's just out of interest actually. Having a go at it to see how the new original ROM performs.
The forum search is working again and I found some threads, but none of them describe how to install the OTA update on a rooted device.
Am I right by saying ClockworkMod does not work to install a Stock HTC update, I I'd need to revert back to the original Recovery image?

Try renaming the file to the original name? PCIMG10.zip or whatever and use the stock bootloader?
If you want complete stock without the bloatware, that's what virtuous sense is for (not unity)

Virtuous is OK but I had some crashes with it in the past. Right now I installed Virtuous Unity with Sense 3.0. I'm gona keep it some time as it behaves good so far (except for automatically installing every crap app I had in the past - eventually I remember to log in to Google only after disabling automatic restore next time)
I'd still be interested to know
- Where to get and how to flash the original HTC Gingerbread ROM
- Why the OTA update fails to install in ClockworkMod Recovery
- Some other things that may need a separate thread.
Generally, I'm sorry for being a noob but I'm really interested in learning this stuff. I hope I'm not bothering you guys.
Thanks to all you devs for what you do!
(I made a dedicated "Thank you" thread once but it got deleted in immediately)
Thanks for all the answers to far! I'm going to test drive Sense Unity now.
cheers

Now this is funny! You actually rooted your phone now you want to know how to flash a ROM! Lol I wonder where you got lost in the reading process. Sorry guys

Noob question about going to CM9/10 from stock ICS FH13

I literally just accepted the FH13 OTA update yesterday morning. As far as I can tell, I'm back to being unrooted and no custom recovery.
I've browsed the threads here about how to not brick your phone and upgrading and all that but to someone who doesn't flash a custom ROM every day it's a bit confusing. Every other line in one of the threads was striked out. I remember somewhere someone saying that installing CWM on ICS is a bad, bad thing. I don't even want to try it as of right now.
Can someone just explain to me, briefly, the steps to go form stock FH13 to CM9/10. I don't even need links to threads, I can do the digging. I just want to be absolutely sure of the steps. Like, do I have to go back to GB first? Can I backup my current system before I do any of this with Nandroid? Can I even install CWM on ICS?

Hey, I know you said you don't want any links, but they are kinda tricky to find. Currently, the most reliable way to do this is to use odin (or one-click) to downgrade your phone to an earlier build, and then use the absurdly stable recoveries and kernels there to upgrade once again. The way you should do this is as follows:
1. Use Odin one click to go back to EL29 (which is gingerbread)
2. Install a kernel with a recovery through the use of either Odin or Mobile Odin (I have provided a link for sfhub's Odin GUI)
3. Reboot your phone and give it a couple minutes.
4. reboot into recovery and flash away
The link to odin one click to get back to EL29 (provided by sfhub):http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
The link to Odin GUI to root EL29 (provided by sfhub): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
If you have any questions, please ask, and also be sure to watch the instructional videos provided by qbking77 in the above links. If this is your first time using odin, it can be somewhat nerve wracking, but be patient, take it slow and follow the directions. Good luck
EDIT: to answer the other questions in your post:

Well, you can use Mobile Odin to flash a kernel that has a working recovery, but for that you would need to have root. You could however use Odin(on the computer) to flash a kernel with a custom recovery, but It wouldn't be as reliable as flashing back to el29 and using that recovery. HOWEVER, a lot of people have been claiming that the newer recoveries for ics are safe and can be used.

Well, you would need a working recovery, so refer to the previous question.

Today I used ODIN to flash agats 0.5.4 kernel, which I then wiped and installed CM9. I think you need a rooted rom in-order to do what I did though.

I don't know if you check on some youtube tutorial, If not go to QBking77 channel, he has the latest and newest way to re-root your phone. Take your time and read. you probably know what to do, but lack the confidence to go thru with it, take your time and check out some youtube videos.

I was wondering this my self thanks.

Freeroot, thank you so much!
I never expected all of that. Every time I have ever asked a question I would usually get short answers and scolded for not doing the searching myself. I had hoped that I would get a better response if I said not to bother with links.
Seriously, thank you very much! Above and beyond! :good:

Help with flashing stock rom

Hi,
I am trying to flash the original stock rom that my tmobile came with before I flashed it with cyanogen mod. I have been viewing and searching for the right sites but I can't seem to find the correct stock rom. Also some sites are saying to use odin and some are saying to just flash the stock rom like i did with cyanogenmod. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you make a backup prior flashing the custom rom?

Need Odin to flash stock.
All needed links are in my signature.

Thanks so much, you don't know how long I was looking for those. Just a few questions I have though.
Also...
1) Will this take away my root? And if so, if I every need to root again do I just do the same thing I did before to root? (because I want to use titanium backup to get my apps and data back.)
2) Will I be able to do system/T-mobile updates normally from the device from now on or will I have to do them manually?
3) Finally, and it's alright if you don't but do you know any good videos to follow to flash the stock rom? (I think I found one but this comment won't let me post it right now.)

Trying to root, have no idea what I'm doing.

Alright so I was rooted, but now there's been at least one new version of Android, so I need to do it again and update. I am confused as to how this whole thing works. I used to have an iPod touch which I jailbroke, and you could update the firmware simply by jailbreaking with a jailbroken version of the newer OS. Does Android work in a similar fashion with rooting, in which when you flash the ROM (am I saying this right?), it is a different Android version? So can I just find a ROM that's 4.3 to update, or should I update to 4.3 over the air and then root again? I actually already did the OTA update because it was really bothering me and currently I don't even use root features frequently. Anyway, the no-flash trip link in the how to root section says 4.1.1, which I assume means Android 4.1.1, and I don't want this. What can I do?
If I get a current version of a custom ROM, LiquidSmooth or something, will that update my Android version?
I'm sorry if I'm making zero sense right now, or if this is in entirely the wrong section. I'm trying my best here.

You're on stock ? If so what version,4.3?

FYI this isn't the right place to post this. But check out THIS thread about Preparing to flash an ND8 (kitkat) rom. It is short, very informative and has important links to other things you may need. Good luck!

I will help U but you take full responsibility for anything that may happen to your device in the process.
It seems like U are still rooted, but but just on MK3 still. This will upgrade U to ND8
Here goes:
#1 Install Odin on your PC, run the program. (Link to Odin 3.07. LINK for ODINClick link and it will automatically download to system) Extract from ZIP
#2 Load the ND8 tar in the PDA Slot, put your phone in Download Mode (power off, hold Vol Down, Home, and Power), and connect your phone to the PC. (leave check in the Auto-Reboot and F-Reset)
#3 Then after that is successful run CF Auto Root LINK CF-AUTO ROOT This down load must be extracted and U will see Odin application in there too along with CF-Auto tar
#3b (I didn't do this because I don't really care, but if U want) get ROM Toolbox or something of that nature and remove any app with Knox in the title or that has the Knox symbol.
#4 Load your phone into Download Mode one last time and then put whatever recovery you have (I use Philz, make sure you grab the .tar format instead of the zip) and put that in the Bootloader slot in Odin. U will then be rooted and custom recovery.. U can stay there and set up phone or flash a custom ROM. I would do a nandroid back-up in philz first before U flash a new ROM though.
Link to PhilZ 6.416 Tar DIRECT LINK I use this one because it WORKS with no issues
or U can go here and get other versions of Philz. LINK
This guide was originally posted by Bilgerryan (below) and I augmented a few things and added links so U wouldn't have to search and search.

Load your phone into Download Mode one last time and then put whatever recovery you have (I use Philz, make sure you grab the .tar format instead of the zip) and put that in the Bootloader slot in Odin. Then you're good to go, rooted and custom recovery, sky's the limit.

Thanks for the move. Reading is hard.
So can someone just clear up the whole version thing for me? I attempted to do the 4.4 OTA update that showed up, and it seems to have worked in the sense that the notification went away, but my version is the same (4.3) and I seem to still be rooted. I guess I really don't understand any of the rooting process. I know I've used Odin and stuff but I really don't know what any of it does. Is there already a thread somewhere that explains what all of this stuff actually does? I mean, updating and staying rooted can't be that hard to do.
