[Q] manual OTA-update on revoked-root-desire

hi,
as far as i found out today it was recommended not to install the OTA-update that has been provided by HTC because I would lose my Root-rights.
Since this is not a problem for me I wanted to install it - but it fails everytime with messages like
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
[...]
Would it make sense to install it maunally? the download over the air was no problem, so i could easily put it into root-folder, rename it and install it manually. but do i have any other negative side effects except losing rootrights?
regards,
andre

Bootloops for one..
The cleaner way to run it, is to run the RUU (Do create a goldcard before you do), then run the OTA as update.zip, as Nature intended..
And why on earth would you need an OTA on a rooted phone. Just get the latest rooted ROM which would be more uptodate..If you just dont want root, do as above..

Well, no in this case it's just run the 2.29.405.2 RUU then you've not got to bother about the OTA!!

First i try to install as "zip from sd" with clockwork. But I become bootlooping phone.
Then I try to install with goldcard. All was ok. But when am try to install an app from market, my phone restarted at the point of installation.
Is any other way to update without RUU with clockwork?

In a word, no. You can try a hard reset but best way is to flash the RUU. Gold card only needed if you have a branded hendset

the major disadvantage is loosing all information. or is titanium backup able to restore everything? i don't believe so.

Titanium works on rooted phones, so you could flash stock, root it and then restore

does someone know why installing this OTA-upgrade is failing with signature-message?

Don't flash it if you're rooted - simple as that!!!

understood that. but i want to get some more infos on that.
beside this, since i have to flash a new rom anyway: which is a very good rom you are using? will everything be restored by titanium backup, or will the screens e.g. not be backuped and restored?

I'm on stock 2.29.405.2 and not rooted. It's a good ROM. You'll need to obviously root your phone again to restore the backup

bad loop... ;-)
get back to official rom with OTA but without restoring the backup... or stay on root... i think i will stay on root now. i will try the update this evening and check for the restore how far it works...
thanks for your effort.

HELP!!!
i tried now several times to install a shipped rom (2.10.405.2, 2.29.405.2), but it is not working! it restarts my desire, and it stays with the black screen and white HTC letters... error 171 is displayed afterwards... how can i resolve it? i tried already to download a rom as zip and tried to install it via unrevokedrecovery 2.5.0.7 via "apply update.zip", but it didn't work as well.
can someone help me???
regards,
andre
edit: after installing htcsync it worked again...

YOU CANNOT DOWNLOAD A STOCK ROM AND FLASH IT VIA CLOCKWORK MOD!!!
How many more time does it have to be said????
If you wanna try flash a custom ROM you don't select 'apply update.zip' - you go to flash ROM from SD card and choose the ROM you want to flash. If you don't know how to use CWM why the hell ahve you rooted?!!?

I honestly didnt understand what you're trying.
If you want to get the system unrooted, back to stock, then:
Read FAQ 5 and get the PB99IMG.zip
After getting PB99IMG.zip, put it in root of sdcard/goldcard,
Switch Off
Switch on with Back and Power. Keep it pressed.
The system will detect the file and prompt
Press Vol+ to start the RUU
To install a custom rom, "Install zip file" from Clockworkmod.

4. Volume down + power, not back. Back will take you to FASTBOOT

You're right..From Fastboot, it's one additional key..

[Q] How to back to the official froyo ?

Is there any way to get back to the official froyo? cz after i did the alpharevx i fell my wf lost the htc sense. i feel somtehing different on the map. But the "flip to silent" geature still works.
Thanks for your answer

You need the Sense Fix, it is available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156713
And if you still want to go back to the state before AlphaRev X, the procedure is stated here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160251

So you are on the htc sense rom and not installed any custom rom then follow this procedure.
1.Apply the HTC Sense fix ,procedure could be found on XDA
2.Do S-ON,procedure could be founded on XDA
3.Now you must also remove the clockworkmod recovery in order to recieve future HTC OTA Updates .For this email me([email protected]) and i will send you firmware.zip,download and rename it to PC49IMG.Place it on the sd card but before placing format the sd card to fat 32.Reboot the phone to HBOOT by pressing vol. down and power key.wait for the sd card to be checked and it will ask to update ,follow the instructions given on the screen and reboot the phone.
(cant post firmware.zip here due to the size limit)
AND YOU'RE DONE!!!!!
You have a completely unrooted device with stock recovery and no one can say that this device was once rooted.
P.S. If you have installed a custom rom the restore the HTC Froyo Rom backup to bring it to company state.
Make sure you restore the backup which you had made before flashing superuser, if not then restore the backup which you made and try to uninstall it from applications menu,if it does not uninstall then will remain there and i dont know how to remove it.
I had made a backup before flashing the superuser so there was no superuser installed for my case on restoring the backup
I also did this and was sucessfull in unrooting my device

Thanks for you both !!!
*Clicked thanks button*
But, my ROM is still DK Custom. How can i change it to be the Official Froyo ?

Flash an RUU.
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Buzz
This will remove Clockworkmod Recovery, and your Custom ROM.

you must have made the backup of HTC rom after you had used alpharev-x and falshed the clock workmod recovery.Restore that backup

i didnt bakcup mine sadly
gonna try this one : http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...3.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe
So, ive done the S-ON. then am gonna do the flashing with shipped ROM.
Thanks for everyone again

felt sad for you that you did not made a backup,try falshing an ruu it would help.If you want i can send you my backup

GOD DAMMIT !!!

You don't have to recover someones backup. Why not flash the "safe flash zip" roms which are equal to stock roms. You can find their links in index thread.
And if you want complete stock including stock recovery then follow this. This eliminates connection errors of ruu.
In your windows PC click on start and type %temp% and enter. That opens the PC user temporary folder. Just minimize the folder. Now open your ruu (donot connect phone to PC). Donot go with the process, just keep the ruu window aside open. Now search for the file "rom.zip" in the temporary folder (use search function). The rom.zip will be present in a folder (with random name, which the folder name enclosed with {} brackets) . Now copy the rom.zip to a safe location and rename it to PC49IMG.ZIP. Now format your sdcard to fat32 and place the pc49img.zip at the root of sdcard. Now reboot to hboot menu . Then you will be prompted to do the update.
Make sure you have enough battery and do not interrupt the process by pulling battery.

Have you flashed stock hboot from alpharevx hboot. If yes, which hboot have you flashed. Is it 1.01.001. If this is the case then you need to use froyo wwe ruu.
If you are still on apharevx hboot then you need to flash stock hboot. This process was there in the Dev section. I suggest you to flash stock hboot 0.80 from the "ruu-buzz-htc-wwe-1.37" you mentioned. If you do this you can go with my previous post.
Let me know your hboot version.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

my hboot is like what alpharevx allow. not xxxxxxx2 but xxxxxxxx1
mine is already s-on but still have recovery and root.
i tried to flash the safe buzz but it says error

So what I got from your posts is --- you have used alpharevx to make the phone s-off. Then flashed aosp rom. Then as you are missing sense, you want stock rom with stock hboot and recovery. So, I think you followed the process to revert back to s-on. During that you have first flashed "Ruu_buzz_froyo_HTC_wwe_2.22.405.1". Then flashed fastboot command and stock hboot 1.01.0001 from that thread. If this is all what you have done, then just flash the "Ruu_buzz_froyo_HTC_wwe_2.22.405.1" again. And if you face USB connection errors, just make pc49img.zip with this ruu (the process that I previously mentioned).
Edit: And "safe buzz" zips should be flashed from cwm 2.x recovery. If you use cwm 3.x or above recovery then you need to flash 2.x recovery to use them. Again refer the index thread on how to.
And if you have previously flashed wwe 2.22.405.1 ruu during revert back to s-on, then flashing safe buzz is useless. Because safe buzz will not overwrite the custom recovery with stock recovery.

[Q] [q] help desire z bricked

hey i was reading through the guide and wanted to root my phone and i did put all the root_psn psneuter gfree etc files in the platform-tools folder and used the commands on the phone. after all i did reboot on command prompt and on guide it was written that phone will root and u need to reboot. after that my phone is stuck on htc white screen with htc logo and doing nothing. tried rebooting but no luck. PLEASE HELP ME. and on my microsd card there is no rom right now
thanks in advance...

ok try this:
connect your phone to pc and start adb... type adb devices while stucked on screen and look if your phone shows up, if it does type adb reboot bootloader
or pull battery and press power & volume down to enter bootloader
then tell us whats written in your bootloader... means is it s-off and what hboot number?

thanks a lot for your reply.
it says ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.76.2000 (PC1011000)
MICROP-0425
EMMC-BOOT
AVG 20 2010 16:51:01
HBOOT

ok, doesn´t look to bad.
try to enter recovery, if it works mount usb storage put a rom you like on your sd unmount and flash it through recovery
if you can´t enter recovery you have to flash recovery using fastboot: download the image and put it in your platform tools folder; go to platform tools and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then enter recovery and do what i posted above...

i mounted my card and put in the runnydroid rom on it. then i used install zip from sdcard and it installed rom successfully but it is still not booting

don´t use a sense rom, take cm7... you need a different hboot for sense roms to boot (the desire z one)
EDIT: first try to boot into a aosp rom, if it works and you still want a sense 3.5 rom use this guide to change hboot: http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html

hey i dont understand. which rom should i use? i have stock froyo rom which i used to downgrade my phone. which rom are u talking about? is it sense 3.0? will it work>?

it´s not sense, don´t use the one you have from downgrade. take cm7.1 from the link above

thanks a lot sir i am downloading and will tell if it works. i would like to know if i will be able to get back htc sense rom? i want runnydroid can u tell me how to get it after installing this rom? and if there is no way to get custom rom then at least is there way to get the froyo stock rom which i used to downgrade?

if you are able to boot in cm7 (which is a custom rom) you can install any custom rom you want... a good sense 2.0 rom for example is this one: http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/sense.html
for sense 3+ roms you have to change hboot (i already posted a link for a really easy guide)
...follow this guide and then put a sense rom of your choice on sdcard and flash it through recovery
but first hope that you can boot into cm7....

sir you are very nice my phone is now running well on this firmware. sir the link that you provided to me doesnt have anything about how to install sense roms or channge the hboot. please can you give any link to help me install a custom sense rom?thanks alot

http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
and then flash a sense 3.5 rom (pls don´t call me sir)

thanks a lot so after
After the second reboot, the device will be sitting on the “HTC” screen doing nothing. This is normal, do not panic. It is because you have no ROM installed anymore.
after getting into recovery after all above steps, i can select custom sense zip file from sdcard and install>

[Q] Problems after rooting - wont boot - want back to stock

Hello first off all. I dont know if anyone else here got the same problem but I could not find anyone.
Hello, I tried to root my DHD to get ICS (i know it is not yet done). But after i tried to update it or install it i cant boot Android... It's getting stuck on the HTC logo, however I can boot into bootloader and into clockworkmod v4.0.1.4.
So now I want to get back to stock, root it properly, take a backup (YES i forgot to do it -.-) and try again to get ICS.
Anything else u need?
Before i rooted i think i had 3.12.405.1, but i am not sure.
I also updated to Sense 3.0
And i am banned from the hack kit irc. (i asked for help and they helped me a bit, but not enough, I did NOT ask for passkey)
btw. I am new to this root and flash things so i hope u be noobfriendly
Thanks for any answer.

And I did try to reroot it. (I KNOW, bad idea)

Anyone got any ideas? :C

Ifyou have access to cwr did you wipe and flash a new rom? Push come to shove you can always reflash an ruu.

I think i wiped and tried to install CM, but then the boot was already screwed (i think, i cant remember)? what do u mean about "push come to shove you can always reflash an ruu"?
Is it just to download the ruu .zip file and flash it? (Want back to stock)

Correct. Just download your pd98img.zip place in root of SD card and flash in hboot. Or alternatively download the ruu.execonnect your phone to pc. Go into hboot and select fastboot and run the program from your pc

I have used the ICS for a few days, after I root failed(on 2.3.5 with sense3 RUU). Taste good but the Camera doesnt work on ICS4. I do it like this:
1. Flash your DHD to 2.3.3 with the RUU.
2. ROOT it via aahk-17122011
3. Flash the ICS_BeatMod_Beta_v6.1 via clockworkmod to your DHD
then, Taste it!
ITS my first post here. If I do something wrong, tell me pls.

My brother would like to thank you. You saved his life. I just rooted my DHD and he decide to flash some rom without my permission. First he installed CM7 but he didnt like it and decided to flash BinDroid. Idk what he did then. He said he started to flash it via ROM manager...So first he flashed BinDroid_EXT4_FULL_WIPE.zip ..So i guess he wiped everything.Phone worked only in CWM but never started.Couldnt recover earlier version.Stucked with HTC logo and thats all. So i've tried to flash another ROM in CWM but no matter what foldier i place zip i could never see it when i have to browse zip to install. Readed dosens of manuals of flashing.They said i have to rename the ROM i want to flash - update.zip and then it would be recognized..Never happen. So i just decided to buy new phone and break his neck when i saw this thread .Idk what is root folder - some ppl say its the main folder of your card,without any sub folders,other say i should create new folder - root and put it there. But when i putted your file in main SD card folders it didnt "see" it. When i putted it in Root folder it didnt see the folder at all. By "it" i mean me when i was browsing in CWM. So then i putted this file u say in a empty folder of my card that i could see when i CWM. So i again reboot in CWM,browsed to it and saw the file there. Installing didnt help. It said error and file could not be installed..In a pure despiration moment i decided to chose update from CWM and bloody hell...it recognized the file u said to install and started to install BinDroid ROM?! I guess i forgot BinDroid rom named as update.zip,when i was trying to flash it.So now my brother is alive thanks to you. IDK what and how i did it and how to update new roms from now on but at least i have my phone..

So I should just use the ruu .zip and unroot it, then root it, wipe all data, and then install the ICS_Beatmod?

Ok, after i have rooted it, shall i run the hmod for the PD98IMG? And BTW. It says that i am S-ON in the bootloader....

1. install the PD98IMG.
2. Run the RUU .exe
3. root it
4. run the hmod for installing the "PD98IMG" again? when i am in the bootloader it asks me if i want to update. (Allready there is says i am S-ON)
5. removing the PD98IMG (manualy, not from the hackkit)
6. Wont go to Clockworkmod.
7. Still S-ON
8. ???????????
Shall i delete the HTCsync drivers that is on my phone?

I had to root it twice, but now I am stuck on boot graphics... Do i have to install the new kernell too?

nvm. got everything worked out now

dude if you can access CWM, just push any ROM to your sd card via adb, flash it, use it until the camera issue is fixed and then enjoy ICS. Don't go back to stock. I have adb in CWM thus you should too. These custom roms are much better than stock and if you want the interface just pick one with Sense.

Q Can't Install Custom ROM after Unroot

Well, I bought the HTC HD a9191 morning, from other people.
I asked the device is returned to the stock rom so that I can upgrade by my self.
Fact, the seller just this unroot devices.
Now, I can't install a custom rom ...
When I try to install new custom rom, my dev get 7 vibrate and then blank screen.
I try to root by Kingo, easy ace root, windroid and FAIL! : ( Device restart and get 7 vibrate again!
BUT when I try to force out the battery and I try to turn it on again it back again, data etc.
I try to wipe the system in CWM also unsuccessfully.
Please help.
This may be a very frequently asked question, I got confused with the answer that much people say 'cause the give many option
Thank for advice
My device S-OFF and now stuck at JellyTime 4.2.2.

I've try to back to stock rom.
When I flash the radio.img, FAIL again!
I try to search in google for the error code, and I found try the dev with s-on.
Now, how I can get my dev back s-on without root, can I?
Thank for your advice.

Please give more info. Do you have Cwm or stock recovery? All you have to do is power the phone in fastboot mode and flash recovery. If you fried your radio I don't know if you can fix it.

its seems to me that you need an RUU
download the RUU as PD98IMG.zip it includs the system data radio recovery...everything
put it on your SD card (not in sub folder )
press and hold the vol.down and the power (reboot to bootloader)
it'll scan your SD card for the PD98IMG.zip
and then chose to install it
then do the S-off and root
falsh recovery..
that worked well for me
