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] Can't flash OTA Update?

Hey guys
So I've been reading forums and websites for a long time now and haven'f been able to fix this.
I have a T-Mobile branded Desire with a Golden Card. I flashed a RUU from shipped-roms.com, then rooted (unrevoked3) it. After a while I removed the rooting with unrevoked3 and flashed a new fresh RUU.
Now the problem is: even thou my Desire does download OTA updates, when booting into update it aborts the procedure with status 7, because my ro.cid still is T-Mobilized.
What did I do wrong?
How can I make it update normally as a generic (unbranded) Desire?

You can't run the OTA on a debranded handset, seems Google changed something in the update ZIP. You'll have to flash the RUU to get it. I assume you're trying to get 2.29.405.5?

This one?
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
How can I change the ro.cid prop or where is it located?

That's the one, but why do you need to change that file?
EDIT: You can't change the CID of your phone. Seems Google have changed the OTA updates so you might have to flash the RUU every time a new one is out. We won't know until a new update is released

Thank you for your quick reply.
So if I'm getting this right there is no way to actually really permanently debrand an HTC Desire?

How about rooting and disabling signature verification, would that enable me to install the OTA?

No. Never, I repeat: NEVER ota-update a custom Rom! You can either flash a close-to-stock custom rom (and then NOT install ota-update!!), maybe flash one based on the newest htc-rom, so you are not tempted to install the ota update, or install the ruu of the branded stock rom you bought your phone with and wait for the update to appear.

I'm using a stock RUU firmware...

But you're DEbranded which won't allow you to get the OTA. The ONLY way you can get it is to flash the RUU

Thank you for making that clear. I'm really a n00b on this topic. Thanks for all your help. I'm trying to understand,
So an UNbranded (from factory) and a DEbranded (by me) phone still have differences?
On what kind of phone (branded, unbranded or debranded) would the OTA just work normally?

unbranded would get updates from HTC, branded from the operator, debranded either OTA (if they work in future) or RUUs

Hi, i've found this post and I'd like to know if there's a way to change everything in a operator branded desire to appear an unbranded one and get OTA from HTC?

Gold card should do it but other than that no

HTC Trophy Update issue

Hi guys,
I recieved a "HTC update for windows phone" for my DE vodafone Trophy about 2 weeks ago. (my OS version is 7392 before this update)
But After I update this update my phone stuck at "step 9 rebooting your phone", it restart after about 20min and stuck at HTC logo screen forever.
I tried to restart it, it stuck at same place with 7 times Vibration.
As i could enter the rainbow screen, i flashed it back to 7004 after n times flash error.
I tried to update it again. In zune it has to update to 7008 first, and this update is without problem finished. And then it should update to 7392 with "HTC update for windows phone" after a long waitting, it appears stuck again just same like i worte above.
Has somesone the same problem or some ideas about this issue?

Try flashing it with 7392 ROM.

Yep, Try flashing one of ansar's roms, he released an unlocked one, and you can go all the way up to RTM...

I need a offical 7392 rom, I searched for it but i can't find it.
ansar's rom shows always flash error by me.

I dont think that the problem is ansar's roms
Maybe your phone its locked by your provider and you can't flash any other rom before you unlock it...

[Q] Updating Orange UK Wildfire S bootloader / image ROM version

Can someone help me with this? I'm trying to update the HBOOT loader using the HTC Dev unlock site but the download HBOOT 1_08.0099.20111216.exe file says my ROM image version (1.36.61.2) is not compatible and that a new file for this version will be available soon.
Is there anything I can do to update the HBOOT in the meantime (I don't mind debranding, possibly creating a gold card, etc) as it would be great to get the bootloader on this device unlocked (so I can try cyogen among other things)

For more help, write down Your hboot Info:
Radio,hboot version.
And your android version.
In Settings-About Phone(or something like that last on the list...)-About OS or something.... cant remember... in english...

I was orange but debranded a few weeks ago. So I went for the EU version . Hope that helps!

@Unkheq,
BIOS information is:
HBOOT-0.90.0000
MICRODP-0451
RADIO-7.46.35.08
Apr 8 2011 17:45:10
OS Info is:
Android version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version: 2.1
Software number: 1.36.61.2
Looking at the HTCdev info problem is there is no orange uk RUU image - or before that even a ROM updater.
@pat da punk
I Was think of reflashing to the EU stock from the loading to the SD card method, or by using the HTC dev unlocker HTC EU RUU, but I don't want to brick the phone by not prepping the rest of it first (i.e. the image mismatch)

you have 2 options. Wait for the Orange UK 2.3.5 Update, then start unlocking it, Or flash it to EU 2.3.5. those 2 things will update your hboot to 1.08.0000, where u are able to unlock
#Edit
Also u wont brick phone with official RUU, it will check if all is good, then it will start installing, Orange UK rom is just same as HTC EU rom, but u got branded OS, that's the difference

@Unkheq
How would I update the OS to 2.3.5 EU? as it would be useful to be pointed somewhere where the image is / information is on how to do this, as I might go ahead and flash to the EU version if I decide its going to be a faster option
Don't mind about the non branding. Most crucial on my mind at the moment is making more space for apps etc.

when you find the most upto date EU Rom download it, I used HTC Sync to install mine without any problems

Thanks for all your help pat da punk and Unkheq. I've used the thanks button in the thread. I will wait a week or two to see if an offical Orange UK rom update comes out, and then may go the EU carrier route.
A final question, if I convert the SD card to a gold card, does it still use orange as the main network, but esentally allows you to flash the rom so its non orange branded (EU generic route)?

You use he network from your simcard is ^^, after installing rom u pick ur network.

OK got it. Will see if I can link the guides so that when I come back in a week or so I can remember exactly what to do

As it looks like there is going to be no immediate Orange UK unlocker for the wildfire S (can't see any mention on the website) I was planning to go the HTC Europe route myself as soon as the SD card reader I've ordered arrives.
If I do this then considering the HBOOT needs updating, will the marvel Europe 2.66 version (or whatever the lastest version is) attempt this and abort if there is going to be a problem or is there a verified version that successfully updates HBOOT 0.90 without any risk?
If all versions work then all fine and dandy. Just asking in case I'm creating a bricking chance if I manage to goldcard the SD card.

Thought I would post back and say I had great success in reflashing to the HTC marvel europe build.
Basically I followed the guide in 1st link beow below, then followed up by using the unlocker on the HTCdev site.
I've also found that the HTC supertool V3 roots the phone and its possible the unlock bootloader instructions will work as well, but I personally didn't follow that method and used the HTCdev site.

Rom flashing issue - How to go to MM without S-OFF

Hello all,
Sorry if this seems obvious, I've lost several hours looking for an answer and where to download the correct ROMs/right actions to do.
I use to have Android Lollipop on my phone (ARHD, dont remeber which version) and I tried to install ARHD 20.0 (MM) yesterday.
Manage to upgrade TWRP to 2.8.7.0 and manage to flash the ROM.
But, as mentioned in a very close post, MM firware isn't compatible.
Phone now stay stuck on bootloader screen.
I tried RUU update but it didn't work (bootloader is unlocked)
I then tried to lock my bootloader but fastboot/adb can't detect device (also went from W7 OS to W10 OS...) no clue why...
It seems I can't enter Fastboot mode (doesn't show on the screen, maybe it's normal).
And adb doesn't detect device properly.
Phone is S-ON so can't flash firmware directly.
Heard I should go back to ARHD14.0 but can't find any download link.
So here I am asking for help

That TWRP version is not recommended for latest rom versions. Use the latest one (TWRP 2.8.7.1-CPTB-Beta-1).
You need the Android M firmware if you want to flash Android M Sense-Roms. With S-ON you need to wait until HTC distributes the update for you SKU (which it hasn't done until now as far as I know). Btw: The firmware version you're using is more than outdated. With that version your M9 is still suffering the infamous heat problems. Nevertheless since several sources (Llabtoofer, HTC UK) hint that the Android M updates might arrive during the next week I would recommend getting back to stock (here's the needed RUU; instructions how to flash can be found in my signature), updating your phone to the latest LP firmware but waiting for the official update before reflashing a custom rom or rerooting your phone.

Which version of the M9 do you have? Also, can you get into your custom recovery?

M9 version: no clue.
Custom recovery: yes.

According to your firmware version and the fact that your phone is S-ON you own a HIMA_UHL (MID: 0PJA10000) which is branded by Orange France.

It's an SFR phone... Could it be Orange branded? Kinda weird.
But OK thanks

I don't know the relations between French providers but it's theoretically possible that SFR and Orange share the same firmware on the M9. Anyway the SKU 73 belongs to Orange France.
