hey
I have an orange phone which a while ago i flashed with a generic rom and rooted. because of this i was unable to install the OTA so i did a manual upgrade to this rom:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
This installed fine (it seems), but as i am on orange, when i rebooted the phone it was network locked. I read that flashing an older radio solved this problem so i went and flashed this radio:
update-bravo-radio-32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11-signed.zip
This now makes my phone boot and work fine with no lock, HOWEVER, the software version still says it is on 1.15.405.4 and not the updated version!!!!
I have tried testing one of the bugs that was fixed in the new ota (i sms'd myself from skype and it still says it was sent by a facebook contact) and so that fix clearly wasnt present and the upgrade just hasnt seemd to work. Can anyone shed any light on this? could it have anything to do with what is installed on my phone during step 1 of the root? the root package i am using is called r5-desire-root-alt
Thanks for anyone who can help on this
Rooting the phone puts the 1.15.405.4 ROM back on your device, if you want 1.21 you'll have to then buy an unlock code to free up the device...
There is an update ZIP in the ROM dev forum which updates the system but leaves the radio alone so might wanna try that...
thanks for this, but the only update i have been able to find in the dev forum is the one on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
but there is a note at the top saying they all contain radio updates
do you have a link to one without the radio update?
Didn't look hard did you??

thank you sooo much, this has finally sorted out my problem
ok so this is my first post here after a night of troubleshooting i decided i might ask here directly since everyone seems to know what is going on.
im a fairly big phone noob but i do know what basic references mean.
so anyway, i have an asian desire, unlocked, unbranded (but apparently even though its completely unbranded, the fact that its chinese and has chinese texts places it in the "branded" category.)
so last night i grew tired of waiting for froyo for asian desires and decided to change things around.
things i did.
changed my rom from stock asian rom to RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
installed froyo from one of the links on this site (untouched, official HTC euro rom).
since then, anything that uses the "radio" doesnt work. recorder freezes, google maps doesnt work, my location doesnt work, etc.
now, ive read i need to upgrade the radio. thing is, my phone is not rooted. and id rather not root at all, all i wanted was froyo (and iirc, i cant root now anyway, since im on 2.2)
is there any way i can fix my issues with my phone now? thanks in advance.

It says it will wipe everything. So a complete backup is needed.
I am still quite new to this. Forgive me, but what is the BEST way to back up EVERYTHING -- including apps and contacts and SMS etc.
I have Titanium Back up Pro (and im rooted) though I haven't really used it yet -- is this the best ?
Is there any good apps out there ? Any good programs I should know ?
I just saw this too. Unfortunately, I've upgraded to JH2. The facebook post says you need JG9.
We can use this post for our flash guide using Kies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766589
Now... how can we locate a JG9 firmware image? I cannot find it on samfirmware. I guess we'll need to flash back to get this update.
I'll update my post when I find information, but feel free to post how we can get back to the JG9 firmware if I'm off base.
- Titanium backup is good to backup apps and data.
- I've used SMS Backup and Restore to backup SMS.
- Contacts are backed up by Google itself as is the calendar.
- APN data might have to be re-entered manually. There is an APN backup and restore as well.
- I'm not sure if call log data can be backed up and restored.
Too late for my phone
but great news
I find titanium hard to use, undestand and unreliable. Mybackup pro is waaaay better.
Is it just me or didnt my phone update to that firmware weeks ago when I got the thing... Some fix Samsung, thanks alot for wasting the last 2 weeks of my life waiting on you to come up with a resolution.
Please someone tell me im wrong... lol
If you have attempted to resolve the three-button recovery issue by upgrading the device to JH2 using a version of Kies earlier than 1.5.110074_45 and the recovery procedure is not working, please visit a Bell authorized dealer to have the device returned to a Samsung authorized service centreto have the issue resolved.
WHAT ?????
I installed JH2 via Kies something like 2 weeks ago. 3 button recovery/download is still not working. The Facebook page helpfully recommends taking it back and getting it serviced, but I think I'll wait until it's bricked.
I guess our only hope is for someone to tell us how to safely downgrade..

Just downgrade to JG9 then do the update.. its a different version of JH2 that is up for download via KIES it updates the SPL. were the old one didn't
Im hoping someone can get KIES to downgrade to JM9, so that we can update to JH2 using the supposed new version of KIES. Dont really see how this will make any difference, but heres to wishful thinking.
Any idea how I can go about getting the JG9 firmware?
Does anyone have a download link for JG9? Pretty sure you can get kies to flash any rom you want by fiddling with the registry.
this is awesome news. im still on the stock firmware. ive been scared to update to ANYTHING due to this problem. i havent even rooted the thing.
im gonna wait and see what the results are for other people before i do this too. maybe im paranoid but it doesnt hurt to be patient i guess.

Sorry was trying to quote you.. Anyway Id love to get back to the previous firmware, Any idea how to go about that? Ive seen people redirect KIES to other Firmwares, ie the new Froyo build, but havent seen anything to go back.
Hmm...
This "new" JH2 which should fix the "3-button combos" is a low package.
Maybe Kies (Odin SS_DL) is able to update the bootloader, because Odin does not seem to be able to do it.
If someone wants to try it with Odin, I can upload the file.

Hey man I am with you I think. I haven't done NO upgrades or firmware updates. Why? b/c I can't get Keis to work
So I'm still on stock.
My phone says this:
Original Production Software:
PDA: I9000UGJG9
PHONE: I9000UGJG9
CSC: I9000BMCJG9
I've only rooted my phone and used the 1-click-lag-fix
So questions -- once I upgrade my phone via Keis do I have to re-apply 1-click-lag-fix ?
do I have to un-root my phone before I upgrade via Keis ?
Thanks guys
@richthofen
Does this mean it is definitifly a software issue or could it still be an hardware issue since the older stock firmware can be updated and the newer roms can not..

Its software and it has been all along.. its the SPL Boot-loader... all they have done is get KIES to flash the boot loader this time.. in the past when you changed roms the bootloader was not changed.. now this flash with update the boot-loader with the fix..
Hmm, I updated a few weeks back to JH2. Its been running fine, but having that 3 button ability would give me more peace of mind. They suggest bringing it to a dealer for warranty replacement/repair if we've already upgraded - seems a bit excessive. I'm wondering if this "bootloader" alteration will be included in future firmware updates perhaps? Like froyo (hopefully in a few weeks)? If that's the case, I'll just wait for that instead of trying to flash back to JG9, then back forward to the "new" JH2.
Any word/thoughts on if this bootloader thing is a one-time deal from JG9 to new JH2 only?

I would assume that most people that want the 3-button fix are the kind of people that upgraded to JH2 as soon as it was available and thus with a version of kies "prior to 1.5.110074_45". Therefore most people will fall into the category where they must return the phone for service as explained in samsung FB note.
This is bizarre... even if the new firmware is the same as JH2 except for the low level stuff, they could have given it a new name just to allow kies to upgrade it. Instead they are explicitly telling us to send the phone back! It really looks like they are shooting themselves in the foot. Why not tell us to wait one week for Froyo and get the new boot loader + froyo at the same time. Returning it to Samsung will take much longer.
Also, there are a lot of users who did upgrade to JH2 using the latest Kies, and not one of them has emerged saying it fixed the 3-button issue.
Either Samsung has failed big time on this, or the statements on FB are not legit.
Apologies if this question has been asked in this way previously but I have searched and not come up with a definitive answer. I have an H23 One X and am still on 1.19.707.1 with no update OTA as of yet. Should I flash or just hold tight and wait it out? My phone works perfectly so no complaints as to functionality but at least two of the threads I searched on mentioned the perhaps mistaken belief that 1.19.707.1 won't update OTA, hence my question on flashing. Cheers all.
You will get an OTA eventually but just don't know when it will come out. But you can always flash the RUU that corresponds to you CID/region. Shipped ROM collection
many thanks for the reply!
Updates are rolled out in batches. Not everyone gets the update at the same time or even the same relative time.
First of all, I'm sorry if this has been solved before or I if am too imcompetent to do this. I'm having an imported taiwanese version CID HTC__621 and running the stock 1.54.709.12 4.4.2 rom and with hboot 3.16 and am S-On. My bootloader is also unlocked. In short, I am trying to update my M8 to 4.4.3 but to no avail, I got the red triangle. Having checked the log, I found that I had the KKbox_android.apk and who knows what else missing. I've searched high and low by visiting many threads and even tried to extract the apk from the update package to put in the data/preload/ folder. I've also been to obscure taiwanese threads and, ultimately, come to a dead end with the unexpected content message.
Other than that, after an entire day's worth of searching and hundreds of tabs opened as well as too many files to count downloaded and deleted, I am back to square one. Having tried relocking the bootloader and flashing the ruus, installing the stock nandroid backups, trying to flash the firmware from the update package and getting the 12 signature very fail and the 99 unknown fail messages and trying all other alternatives, I am still stuck at the same place.
The only reason why I hadn't updated before was because I wanted to get S-Off. However, after months of waiting, I got greeted with the disheartening message that firware was dead. And I don't think I'd like to dish out $25 for sunshine. I simply want to update to 4.4.4, in which I have to go through 4.4.3 first when updating through OTA to install the Skydragon rom. Neither can I get any other custom roms because they all need higher hboot versions. I also couldn't find any hboot standalone files which I doubt would work. I'm sick of sense and I really can't stand it any longer.
So does anyone have the apks or any other methods? As I am really out of ideas. I've wasted so much of my time trying to get this thing to update I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. And, did I mention before? I'm really sick of sense. I've never had this much of a hassle to install a custom rom on any other phones. In fact, they all went well the first time and this is the only phone I've had that's so adamant to change. It really does look like the best phone of 2014 is also the most troublesome phone of 2015.
Sorry for the long post.

Read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54598052&postcount=1516
Skip step 10, 11 & 12 but do software update checking (repeat step 9) because there are more OTA to install up to the latest lollipop 4.19.709.2
If you're not sure what to do, contact me on Wed, I'll be home by then.
I have all the files needed.

Thank you so much man. You're a lifesaver. The nandroid worked like a charm!
