I can't update to 1.21.405.2

Hi,
My device is 1.15 and rooted. When I click "system software update" I'm always seeing checkingin, nothing more.
I want to update my device to 1.21.405.2 but I can't.
What is your suggestions?

Unroot it.

Code:
How to Unroot your HTC Desire to stock
If you Have A 0.75 Bootloader:
Generic RUU Download / Mirror #1
T-Mobile UK RUU Download
o2 UK RUU Download
3 UK RUU Download
If You Have A 0.80 Bootloader: Download
Other RUUs Avalible Here
You will need:
1. HTC Sync (For Drivers)
2. The Download Above
3. A Windows PC
4. A Goldcard (Not required for generic HTC Desires)
The Guide:
1. Make sure your goldcard is in your phone (If Required-if your phone is branded)
2. Turn your Desire on
3. Connect it to a Windows PC
4. Run the HTC RUU
5. Let it run
6. & YOUR DONE!
Okey, I understood. But which file I must the download for 0.75 or 0.80. My boot version is 0.75.

Apparently the 1st version for 0.75 bootloader, you didnt tell if your Desire is unbranded or not, so if it is, the 1st link.

I don't know what is unbranded. I bought this phone from Germany. Before I rooted I was see T-Mobile logo. After root I see HTC logo. My friend ordered for me and I think he will pay 24 month to T-Mobile Germany. Is that mean branded?
In this case which version is good for me?. I rooted this device one week ago and I tried make 1.21 OTA update but I couldn't. Phone was say: "There is no any update". I dont want to see this meassage again after unroot.
Thanks for reply.

Im not sure, maybe someone else can confim that, but it seems that yours is T-mobile branded. Im not aware though, what and if there is a difference in UK vs German version (if in the UK version the german language is missing for instance).

I don't know what t-mobile is doing, but vodafone users only got a 1.19 update OTA! So no 1.21 in germany I think. Is it not possible to unbrand the phone and install one of these RUU updates from htc? Check this in dev forum

I downloaded this:

I will do unroot, after that I will try to take OTA 1.21 update, if can't I will try manuelly do RUU 1.21 update. I hope I don'tl corrupt the phone.

Just to be in the safe side, it's best practise to perform a Nandroid backup in Recovery Mode beforehand, which you can later restore if anything does go wrong with the flash.

Ok, nondroid is okey. I did unroot, and I saw a popup about system update
Now, I'm downloading BL 0.80 files to make again unroot but I confuse, should I do again goldcard process? I did already one time before..

Yes, you will need to use the same Gold Card to flash RUU files with a different CID to your own device.

So, I have a rooted Desire with stock 1.15 fw. If I want to upgrade to stock 1.21 fw I must unroot, then install the upgrade and re-root, isn't it? But if I'll follow this sequence will I lost every application that is on the phone now? Maybe it's better waiting for Froyo or installing a modded fw?

Well i downloaded offical updated and did the updated manualy because i also did not get updated via phone

Something goes wrong.
1. I have unrooted and did OTA 1.21 update.
2. I checked bootloader version. It's 0.80
3. I have unrooted again with 0.80 and 1.21 version.
4. After that I checked sw version it was 1.15 again
5. Again I did 1.21 updated and after reebot I checked again 1.15
I can download and install OTA 1.21 update many times, but still same. What is wrong?

[Q] Cannot update HBOOT for wildfire S

So new release on HTVDEV to support Wildfire S. I downloaded PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216 and ran. The software finds my phone, reboots but fails to update the HBOOT.
It finds image version 1.34.110.3 and offers to update to 2.17.0.0
The update process starts and reboots into bootloader but then returns
ERROR [190]: ROM IS NOT UPDATED
Your ROM version is not the latest version. Please upgrade to 2.14.110.1 to apply this RUU to be able to unload your bootloader
I need to update my phone first. Check for the new on the phone.
On your phone go to Menu > Settings > Software version > Check now.
I have tried this and it tells me everything is up to date.
My phone is running 2.3.3 Android, HTC Sense 2.1
Any ideas or have I mis-understood the HTC unlock process?

download the htc ruu .zip file and flash it in the bootloader and then do d remaining steps,press the thanks btton

Nope, you need to update your phone, to 2.3.5 .
Guess you operator didn't released it jet, but you can find in wildfire S general topic that helps you upgrade you phone before your carrier can offer you and its totally legit update from HTC.
Name of the topic is [TUTORIAL][S-ON][GSM][HOWTO] Upgrade to 2.3.5
Its just the question of which WFS you have, is it branded or not, from where are you and such.
Hope I help a bit.
And say thank to the guys that made it possible

I havent managed to test using the goldcard method as my SD card doesnt seem to like it. It tells me I need to format the card. Hey ho.
Anyway T-Mobile say they are releasing the 2.3.5 update between 5th and 16th so I'll wait and see if this turns up. I have checked manually but nothing yet.
I'll give gogy the thanks as I think he's right.

My ONE X doesn't work now!Please Help! :'(

this is my first time to post on the xda,
if i have post in the wrong forum , please help me to move the right forum,thanks!

You need to reflash with the original RUU, you can find some RUUs from here: http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/
THIS PROCESS NEEDS A RELOCKED PHONE. (fastboot oem lock).
edit: the RUU for your version isnt published already. You need to wait for the RUU, Why can you use an older version? You can't because the DOWNGRADE isn't posible with S-ON.

If you know what file you modified, maybe extract it from a similar ROM and adb push it?

if youve edited the build.prop without backing it up first then quite simply youre asking for trouble....
ALWAYS Nandroid and back up anything before altering it.
If you can access download mode then your safe, just connect up usb for fastboot and run a downloaded RUU, if youre not sure what rom to get then id try HTC EUROPE ones they first, these are probably the most common ones.

i will backup the file to PC in next time when i edit any system file...... i have learn a lesson

Yer try not to mess with the build.prop, i know its fun to tinker and see what can be achieved, but there is also a serious risk that comes with it, unfortunatley the file will stop your phone dead if you mess it up, if you save a backup to your pc then worst case you can push it to your phone via adb and overwrite the damaged one.
What CID are u on, eg, htc--001 ??, cidgetter works from market but not much use if you cant boot up, also what firmware are you running now, release, radio and release keys, that way you could extract the boot, recovery and system from the file and just flash them in bootloader.
YOU must relock your bootlock first, the above command in other post was the one to do that, if not, have u tried to flash CWM 5.8.3.1, and install from the recovery youll get both the super su and a custom rom, like android revolution, this way youll be back up and running on a custom rom based on the latest 1.29, you could then download the 1.29 ruu and run it, again after relocking the bootloader and for good measure download and install htcsync, the program delivers a much better driver for the one x, that should get you back to factory, unrooted, stock boot and firmware.
if the ruu isnt avail, find out what your latest ruu is and look for a custom rom based on that.
Keep us informed how you get on, im sorry you learnt the lesson the hard way, i would not wish this to happen to anyone, except for maybe Bill Gates lmao, but then he would just throw it in the bin and go buy another one ha ha.
I hope you get it sorted and remember, before you tinker, READ the guides on XDA, they are good and will really help you and always make a backup of anything you wish to experiment with.
Good luck.

If you still remember the file, try to get it from someone with the same version as you and push it through adb or recovery (if you can go to hboot, surely you can flash cwm again).

I hope u can read chinese
I had the same problem... and before.. i just flash the RUU again, but after i upgraded to 1.29.. that didn't work...(The RUU I had was 1.26) so with ALOT of searching on the internet.. i found the below Chinese site.. and luckily i can read chinese too...
anyway hope it helps.
Basically what i did was force the recovery to be install on my phone.. but there is a down side.. me alarm doesn't work.. everytime i try to change the alarm sound it just reboot... i am still trying to find a way to fix it... and maybe flash the 1.28 RUU to see if that will work.... but that will have to wait until tonite.
http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-11018720-1-1.html

last night , i had make a fake RUU(basic on 1.28.708.10 HongKong Version RUU,included recovery.img,boot.img,system.img) and flash it ,the result is my phone is recovered , all function is normal and i can get OTA now !!

[Q] 1.19.707.1 firmware stuck in update loop?

I have a HTC one X (grey import i'm in Australia) firmware 1.19.707.1 is being displayed.
check for updates says no update available. sounding familiar yet? keep reading.
i do remember getting an update and the phone rebooting etc. going through phone updating then optimising applications.
ever since the phone random reboots (once a day) and when it does it goes through the "optimising applications" all over again, cold reboot also.
I'm afraid the update didn't go well to say the least. Could be other peoples problem with upgrading this firmware also??
Any ideas???
happy to flash and get hands dirty and root if necessary (have rooted dhd in past when things were more difficult, so not total noob. running linux and win7 if it helps) would like to avoid rooting and romming if poss as it's wife's phone.

RUU of the x.707.x region is your best solution
backup everything and start new
use this RUU

Awesome thankyou!!!
so just dl file connect HOX via usb (no usb debugging) and run file as admin in win7 commandline?
i understand it will wipe everything - no prob
if the last update was corrupt will it effect flashing a ruu in this way at all? sorry for paranoia just tring to avoid a brick!?

yes it will wipe everything, nothing will affect it the RUU will take over everything and rewrite all the partitions
just make sure no anti virus or anything that might disrupt the process

Thank you your'e the man!!
will let you know how i get on.
but it should be noted this could be a possible reason for why so many cant get out of the 1.19.707.1 firmware.
perhaps it will update just not finalize the update?

Also had the 1.19 when I bought my HOX and had to go the RUU route. Everything went perfect and was very easy. Now I'm still waiting for 1.29. I think we in the Philippines have been forgotten.

Hi again guys,
found the ruu somewhere else as filefactory are having server issues.
looking into flashing the ruu i have read some conflicting instructions.
A) do nothing special just plug her in and run the file from commandprompt. (i assume on charge only)
B) install htc drivers from htcdev, boot into fastboot then run ruu from commandprompt.
feeling very noobish again all of a sudden!

Someone uploaded it in his/her dropbox I forgot which thread. All I had to do was connect HOX to PC via USB and run the RUU nothing else. But please don't hold me responsible if anything goes wrong. hehehe.. Thats just how I did it.

*update*
HUGE Thankyou to all that helped with this. Have now upgraded via RUU and all is well.
for anyone following this now or in the future - (win7)
All went without a hitch. just needed to instal htc sync to have the phones drivers installed.
backup all data - pics etc. (though ruu didn't delete any media off my device)
("sms backup" in play store for sms and call logs)
disable anti-virus and prevent hibernation/sleep on pc. Connect phone as charge only.
open ruu file as administer. Follow the prompts.
once complete reinstall apps/ restore sms etc.
Enjoy what feels like a brand new device. do not put up with 1.19.707 the difference is HUGE.
Again thanks guys you make my android world go round!! keep up all your hard work.

Hard brick - Help

This is my problem. i Have a Desire 530 family plan that i software brick.
I was on 1.01.352.25_2 and a ota to 1.36.352.14 and now i cant RUU anymore because HTC dont have the RUU 1.36.352.14 only the old one.
I try to install the boot.img and the system.img over twrp but the phone restart when i flash the system.
I cant RUU because HTC dont allow me install a older RUU on a system that has a update on it.
Any of you have idea of how to proceed?
I tough to install a trwp backup of 1.36.352.14 but i was stupid and dont do it.
Thanks.

Hi,
I think you have to s-off your device with sunshine after that you can
downgrade to 1.01.352.25.2 and take the ota again (if you want).
It costs 25$ bucks but it's worth it... for sure better than a not booting device ..IMHO

Ok but how I can apply sunchine without system? It's possible to apply it over fastboot?
I also mail HTC to get the rom but they give me link for TMO and this one are Family plan model...
Thanks for the reply

same problem.

You are trying to download an exclusive file.
Exclusive categories and files only downloadable by paid membership subscriptions.
And i read on the web this site are not 100% trustable ;/

Your Issue so is easy to fix d{-_-}b
Your first mistake was to mess with your phone without doing a proper FULL BACK backup, that's like Step 1 from any guide. step 0 unlock boot loader, step 1 do full system back up.
Second, find the images from HTC website, your second mistake is not telling people what carrier you need the images for. If your having issue finding them your first go to should've been HTC chat support and not xda, just ask them to help you find the right one, if you still cant find it most likely there are other devices out there that share the same firmware like Tmo, Metro and fam mobile which any of those system images should work with each other (not saying yours do because again, I don't know what you have /: ).
Third, if TWRP and the HTC recovery wizard are giving you a hard time extract boot, system and recovery then just Push them through adb (Hundreds of how to's out there)

Thanks for your answer dear...
Yes I make a mistake when I don't backup before mess up because always I have the official support to ruu back to stock and kill my problem but this time it's different.
I contact HTC support and they suggest flash TMO ruu but my desire 530 are https://www.walmart.com/ip/Walmart-Family-Mobile-HTC-Desire-530-Smartphone/51671356 like I said on the first line of my description.
The funny part are, the latest ruu available on HTC download page are previous of the ota available for this phone so the locked S-ON state won't allow me to downgrade or flash any image over trwp.
If any user of desire 530 family mobile with the latest OTA can upload he's images I will appreciate.

I literally just told you how to fix it d{-_-}b
I'll Make it super simple for you JUST FOLLOW THE STEPS don't question it just do.
LIke the HTC rep told you and like i told you fam mobile and tmobile share the same firmware SO USE THAT ROM!
STEP 1 Go here: www.htc.com/us/support/htc-desire-530-t-mobile/news/ Download the 1.3GB RUU.exe located at the bottom
STEP 2 On your phone go to DOWNLOAD MODE and connect phone (make sure phone is detected properly)
STEP 3 Double click the RUU.exe hit accept next ->> next ->> until you see a progress bar hit 100% and your phone starts.
THATS IT!!!!!
Things to keep in mind:
- You need to have HTC sync installed for drivers, your phone needs to be charged!
- if the RUU.exe says fail or gives you an error just keep repeating STEP 3 until that progress bar hits 100% I had to do it 3 times, some people had repeat the process 10 times HTC RUU.exe has issues but it should work.
- if the RUU.exe is not detecting your phone make sure you are in DOWNLOAD MODE and NOT JUST IN THE BOOTLOADER OR RECOVERY (Double Check Device Manager on your computer is reading the phone correctly/has properly installed drivers)
- if RUU.exe is giving you compatibility issues you will need to extract boot, system and recovery form the RUU.exe and manually push them through ADB (look up a guide) for this step you will need to have an unlocked bootloader (which you already do) but if you don't (for some odd reason) you should be able to unlock it even with a softbrick (look for a guide).
YW
