Successfully I downgraded Evo from 2.2 to 2.1 android. and I want to upgrade it a gin to 2.2.
not only downgraded but also rooted 2.1 Android.
I get error message Error code: 1012
and when I download the official 2.2 it prosed but after a while its stuck!
what to do?
Can you help me to updated the rooted evo 2.1 to the official 2.2 please?
You need to make sure that nand is unlocked. Do Simple Root found in the dev forums or complete Part 2 of Toast's How to Root Guide also in the dev forums.

if you used the unrevoked way for both root and forever then you can't upgrade, you can download the ota all you want, but it will not install, which leads me to believe those of us who rooted this way will never be able to except a ota, so we might have to just rely on custom ROM's, which are better anyways.
I'd recommend Netarchy's HTC OTA Froyo 2.2 final build, and don't forget a custom kernel as well to go with that to make it really perform, also recommend Netarchy's 4.1.9 cfs kernel.

All of the instructions are in the forums. Read and follow the steps. You need to put in some of your own effort. No one is going to do it for you.

Check out this link http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
Check out the section labeled "Reinstalling an official recovery" and it tells you what you need to do to install OTA Roms.
Give me a thumbs up if this helps.

In my sig, you can find a detailed guide for upgrading using Unrevoked Forever + the official OTA.

it's really easy with installing roms, they all come with instructions, which are clear and simple, mostly just boot into recovery once you get that taken care of, do a factory data wipe, and install rom that is stored on your sd card in the download file, once you do it, you see how easy and simple it is, just make a nandroid backup first before doing the factory reset IMO.

2- waped the device
3- install the official update from SD-Card,
4- Restart
5- Delete user data from SD-card
it work fin I have the Superuser Icon, but I cannot access to the root as before, its OK as far as my device is back.

HTC EVO Software Update - 4.53.651.1
Enhancements/Fixes:
- Integrated voice recognition accuracy with voice search and voice-to-text
- Image size issue with contact transfer over bluetooth
- Images cut off in Picasa
- Group contacts not in alphabetical order
- Out of memory, Unable to send SMS
Just wondering if anyone received the OTA and has it laying around and could post it, so the ROMs can be updated with these fixes (especially the first one!).
Also, does anyone know the method for applying an OTA to a previous stock ROM (not on the device), so that the patched files get appropriately updated? I've been wondering how that's done for a while. It's usually a while before the full ROM leaks, so I've always wondered how it's done. I bet xHausx would know . . . I wonder if you need Linux to do it?
I've been waiting for this as well. Voice recognition is a big one for me. Ninjawolf has been looking for a copy so he can do his thing and post it, but last I saw he had not been able to find one either.

I think I'm going to flash back to stock and see if I can get it that way (if no one else replies). Thanks for the info, though!
I am on stock and have not see it yet when I check under updates. Not sure if it would wreck root, but I was just curious to see if it was there.

Thanks for checking. It shouldn't S-ON your device, as I've read by the few that got it that it comes with the same HBOOT as the previous OTA (2.16). It might, however, take away root, though if it does, you'd just need to install Superuser.

Thank you!
Hopefully, with it out in the open now, we can get some updated stock ROMs!
(and have some updated drivers for our ports!)
Anybody know how to patch the files to the 4.24 ROM with this update?

You need to be S-OFF and have an old stock recovery. The new one will not let you update if not installing from over the air. Download the recovery that I attached to this post and change the name to PC36IMG. This recovery will only be used for the flash, and will then be replaced by the latest stock one.
Without being over detailed here,
Download the OTA from
http://www.mediafire.com/?bjxvuyc1mupcyzc
Then change the name of that file to update.
Copy both zip files (PC36IMG and update) to your SD card and install the PC36IMG file from your Bootloader.
After install, boot into RECOVERY. At the exclamation point, hold the volume up (not down) and power buttons at the same time. Then install update from SD card, or whatever it says.
Once you're done, you can always go to
http://www.mediafire.com/?gijd69zb5222w
to get your clockworkmod or Amon-RA back.
Hope that helps someone out there.

I was hoping to patch the ROM without flashing it ....
i.e. put together an updated flashable stock ROM.
(using Android kitchen or some other means)
i can do it, it' s a pretty simple concept. your sure thats the ota, b4 i go packing away a flashable rom.

Yes, it does appear to definitely be the OTA. I've already downloaded and looked at it. I just don't know how to apply all of the patch files included therein.
Does this update fix/update the bluetooth stack?

I have some questions that I'm hoping to get verified.
I was previously on the Sprint unrooted stock 2.2 Froyo build and did the OTA 4.24.651.1 Android 2.3 update. Then I performed S-OFF using the Revolution developer preview tool followed by rooting the phone by installing SuperUser via Recovery. The only thing I've done since then is remove apps I didn't want.
Now this 4.53.651.1 OTA update came out, and I know I shouldn't try updating the rooted phone with it. I don't want to completely flash/wipe the phone either. I just want to learn of the way to update my rooted 4.24.651.1 to 4.53.651.1 while still retaining S-OFF and root.
Do the steps by shortydoggg in post #9 of this thread perform an update as opposed to a complete flash/wipe? And if so, will S-OFF and root be maintained?
Thanks in advance!
=====
Update:
Okay, so I restored the stock recovery according to post #9 of this thread. And continuing with the instructions in that post, I was able to install the linked 4.53.651.1 update file.
After that I lost root, but all it took was to run the Revolutionary tool again to get custom recovery back. Then I just flashed the Superuser ZIP file once more, rebooted, and everything was rooted again.
Now the phone still has S-OFF and it has 4.53.651.1 rooted.
Thumbs up!

Easier approach:
Download the already rooted copy here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238959
Reboot into recovery.
Make a nandroid backup.
Flash update. (In CWM Install zip from SD Card > Choose Zip > browse to downloaded file > Install; likely similar in AR).
Optionally, download the new radio (Post #26 in same thread). Place that in the root of the SD card and reboot to the bootloader; it will install automatically.
How do you prevent an DInc from updating to gingerbread 2.3.4?
I'm getting a nag to restart and install. This happened once some time ago, and now it's happening again.
Has 2.3.4 been rooted yet? Last time I checked, it hadn't.
Thanks

What build version are you getting prompted to update to? If its 4.08.605.2 it's the newest that started today apparently. If I were you I would pull the file from your cache so devs could see what's in it. Also, if you have a custom recovery, it won't update, as it needs stock recovery to update. If you're S-OFF that'd help too.

Hm...that's the first GB OTA that was "supposedly" (I didn't get it) pushed I Sept. but yes if you have CWM it will do the countdown to reboot, then never reboot.
Android Central's reporting another OTA being pushed out tonight.
http://www.androidcentral.com/new-gingerbread-ota-droid-incredible-being-pushed-out
mik rom inc HD is getting that update message also
Run your backup and then use root explorer and go to system/etc/security/otacerts.zip and change the name to something else and then you won't have to worry about getting it again. I'm not sure if you can get to it that way with Gingerbread but just look for the security folder and the otacerts.zip.
i just got this now and i am on skyraider.
Renaming ota certs.zip didn't work for me...

You'll have to install the stock Android system recovery to take the OTA. The best thing to do in your case would be to update your firmware, since it's a version or two behind. If you're happy with the ROM you're using I wouldn't bother with the OTA.

Are you saying you don't have a custom recovery installed? All that's needed to be rooted is to install a custom recovery and then flash a rooted ROM.
Since you already updated your firmware, that's the easiest way to make sure you're on the latest stock ROM.
P.S. You mention having a custom recovery installed (ClockworkMod), which means that while you are in recovery, you have root access (i.e. you are rooted). All you have to do is flash a ROM (though I do recommend upgrading your recovery to smelkusMOD or TWRP).

I will definitely do so now. Just wondering, with which am I less likely to risk bricking my phone if I ever wanted to flash a custom ROM. Also, I realize that there are quite a few custom ROM's to choose from. Are there any that you'd suggest?

Neither of those recoveries will brick your phone, and technically the stock rooted ROM is a "custom" ROM.
I don't have a recommendation for you as far as a ROM goes, because everyone is different. The only way to figure out what suits you is to try them all and see what you prefer. The biggest thing to know is that only Gingerbread and Froyo ROMs will be fully functional on this device. While there are ICS, Jellybean and KitKat ROMs for this device, they all suffer similar shortcomings, i.e. no HDMI, no FFC & no WiMAX.

I'll be sticking to Gingerbread ROMs then. Its not worth giving up functions. And I just updated to one of smelkus' Recovery's now. I guess all that's left is flashing the rooted stock ROM. And thank you for suggesting that I switch. Using smelkusMOD is by far so much better and simplistic :laugh:
Here is my story:
My Boss at work drunk one night ordered the P6 from China and it was delivered. To his surprise Google Play did not work.
Being a proud owner of 3 rooted devices with custom ROMS I offered my services to install a custom ROM on his P6 that would here in the UK.
However when using adb to boot into fasboot mode in order to flash a custom recovery nothing happened, I was left with a stuck logo screen.
The phones details are as follows:
kernel: 3.0.8-00796-g97d2208 [email protected] # 1
build: B113SP02
This particular build came with SuperSU already installed. I say already installed as I done a factory reset and it was still there.
I have copied over the beta kit kat zip in the hope that installing this from the stock recovery will help things, I need to wait for an sdcard though.
Am I going done the right path and if not could I be steered in the right path?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Here is my story:
My Boss at work drunk one night ordered the P6 from China and it was delivered. To his surprise Google Play did not work.
Being a proud owner of 3 rooted devices with custom ROMS I offered my services to install a custom ROM on his P6 that would here in the UK.
However when using adb to boot into fasboot mode in order to flash a custom recovery nothing happened, I was left with a stuck logo screen.
The phones details are as follows:
kernel: 3.0.8-00796-g97d2208 [email protected] # 1
build: B113SP02

Push the recovery of a official chinese firmware on it and try updating from there.

So your saying that trying to update my current build through the stock recovery to the latest kit kat build is the way to go?
I cant actually push any recovery images to the device as fastboot mode fails to initialize, hence why I am hoping an official update through stock recovery and sd card may solve that problem.
My aim is to get the latest kit kat TWRP installed, back up the stock build, then install a custom ROM.

Ive been looking at various posts regarding the kit kat update and it makes reference to the B132 build and how its essential your on this first before updating to the B510 Kkit kat build.
Should I update to the B132 first?

Yes if you want the KK released by HUAWEI Romania. If you use the other BETA you must be on B125.

what other kit kat build is available?
what would you recommend?
I realize i will be putting a cutom ROM anyway, but jut so a stable nandroid backup can be made of an official build.
Thanks so far, you have been really hlepful........
Through more investigation it seems that the B510 kit kat update includes Google Play so it may be wise to install that and therefore the B132 first....
couldnt get the b132 build on or the b520, there were errors........
decided to flash twrp for JB and then install a custom rom....
will i ever be able to update to a KK rom now

That is a pain.........it will do for now I suppose......
I haven't heard of anyone else on here mentioning the B113 build, only B132 and so on...
Do you think this is an issue? Should I be updating to another build before trying B132?
Does the stock recovery need to match up with the OS build?
hi Have you done anything with your mobile?, I got the same Chinese B113SP06 with TWRP Recovery. I'm just looking for to update to official KitKat as on rooted device cannot run some apps.
