I have a rooted htc desire, with stock rom, but with clockworkmod. Today, I received a notification that a new ota update is out. I understand that I will lose my root, but is it safe to update through ota? Will it replace the custom recovery?
I already have problems with cwm. It doesn't work... it says that it can't mount cache, and I can't flash anything with it, nor make a factory data reset.
Is there a risk my phone will get bricked?
I really want this 3.0 update.
So...is it safe to update?

Download the update first. Before installing it, upload it here and let's have a look at it. Btw, its highly unlikely that the update is 3.0

Tell me if the download works.
And I was talking about the new Htc sense 3.0. Did you see how cool ot looks? XD

Thanks. I'm taking a look and will try to get you a flashable zip for rooted phones tomorrow. Can you upload your system/build.prop after renaming it to system/build.prop.txt ?
This is the build.prop.txt

This is a rooted OTA update for 2.29.405.5 which upgrades it to 2.29.405.14. To be applied by people who've rooted their phones, but havent applied any custom rom. It's a collection of binary patches for 2.29.405.5 firmware. Applying it should be safe in the sense that it shouldnt disturb your recovery/kernel.
This has not been tested on my phone, and hence is an alpha at the moment. Follow usual precautions like taking Nandroid backup before applying.

Thanks, anything juicy in that OTA?
No way to know unless someone installs it and sees. There should have been been a description in the original OTA notice.

Put it on your what? xD But I'll wait here for you.
Ste,
you should be able to get it now from http://91.109.1.220/nand/
let me know if you're able to download it.
Ah right thanks for the download.
Ah great it's still not working :/ I have had it working loads but it refuses now
Bootloop?
I'm guessing it depends on what is in the OTA update that's flashed on top of the existing setup.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yea but usually if I flash the froyo update a couple of times it gets rid of clockwork mod recovery maybe I need a newer nandroid.
After I get rid of clockworkmod I can usually flash the update again and it removes bootloops.
The nand I've tried with was taken just before the last update. So, no updates missed.
For the future, if there's anyone out there running a rooted upto date Orange handset, please take a nand and share.
Then, when another update comes through, we can try again
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well it used to work I'm just confused why it doesn't now.
And you've tried your old nand and update?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I put my old nand on flash the update and all that happens is that it sits on the htc logo after I reboot when the update.zip has finished installing.
Is that with the old update? Not the most recent?
If so, that's weird as its worked before....
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yea I put the old one on first then kinda update with the next .zip then the bnext one. The 2.17.61.2 update usually removes the clockworkmod recovery.
Does your phone work with the 2.17.61.2 update? Without applying the most recent ota? But still with clockworkmod.

You need to provide more details...
1. By what means did you get it?
2. Did you root the phone?
3. Do you have a warranty?
4. What kind of error?
5. A screenshot perhaps?
Explain your problem more in detail, also I think this is the wrong section for that. check the general questions section.
cant downgrade 2.3, you are stuck on there till there is a new root for it sorry
You tried using a gold card to downgrade it?
When did T-Mobile send the upgrade
Also I think this is in the wrong section

Wrong section. You should either be posting in the QA section, or one of the root threads with the error you get.
When was gb released? My sister hasn't gotten it yet.

but is the OTA for gingerbread being pushed to those who arent rooted yet?
Got the phone on craigs list the previous owner sent it in for repair for hinge issue and got it back with 2.3. The phone isn't rooted. I like 2.3 but prefer my freedom. I'm at work and can't recall the error but I can push the files with adb but get the error when I run adb shell p.... I did the goldcard. I'm thinking I'm stuck, but ill give it another shot later

Meanwhile, those of us with root have had Gingerbread for a couple months now. If it's not available OTA, it's not officially available.

yup i have it too as well not a big deal, no its not OFFICIAILY OUT, but the Official stock rom is here to flash for those that want to try, this is the latest one and most likely gonna be pushed out.
as my sig shows i have one g2 rooted running cm7 and my other on stock gingerbread no root or s-off
as well this Leaked officail rom was able to fix those that had soft bricks and could not unbrick
and everyone knows to do that the roms have to be signed officialy by htc/tmobile
Here TMOUS Glacier Gingerbread ROM
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc6...60.25_26.11.04.03_M_release_200756_signed.zip
Enjoy!
seems like this wouldn't be safe to flash since i'd bet you would loose root. but looks like a new radio as well? any insight?
DO NOT FLASH!!!
until this has been tested by a dev. There is a good(99.9%) chance that you will lose root with this.

WHAT IS SO Different IN THIS ONE for the old one
A new tmo radio would be great if it boosts their crappy signal
i am going to give it a try to compile...we will see how successful i am (i am a newbie dev)
Is this ROM has ROOT access???
unfortunatly i cant get the system to extract properly....guess it might be time for a more seasoned dev to take a shot at it
edit: nevermind...got it

any screenies for this?

Hi everyone,
I have got a rooted HOX, and I flashed what I think is a custom rom. I did this beacuse I am getting prepared for an ota update and my bigger question is if with this rom I will be able yo receive the official update.
Here are the details of the rom.
Thx.

As long as you have a stock recovery you should get the updates. It looks like you are on the 1.29.401.11 rom so you should. But you will lose root after you get another update.
As i see this is stock rom and you will have ota update.

U need a stock recovery a relock bootloader. Make a backup of ur sd card too. Just in case.

Why root if you want to wait for OTA updates?
Because when I bought it it was already rooted...
In fact I dont know what to do... Stay rooted, or unroot it and receive OTA updates.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
You certainly will.
As far as you come back to your stock rom, you will get your OTA. you need to download keeproot app from google play to stay rooted though.
Hello all, I am rooted stock 4.0.3 and I do not want to risk messing up my phone by flashing a Rom but I want my phone to be as much like jelly bean as possible. Please share any tips or apps that can help me achieve this.

Nova launcher
Nova Launcher, Holo Locker then download the ICS Dialer, JB Messaging and JB Contacts app from appstore. That's about as close as you'll get without flashing, in all honesty nothing will go wrong, you've already rooted so I assume recovery is installed so you're 99% there.

actually i havent installed recovery. i have tried both cwm and the team win recovery (cant remember the initials for the whole name) every time i try via my computer, or rom manager it will install but it effs up my phone and it just sits there on the screen saying "this build is for developmental purposes only" and i eventially have to reboot myphone myself. what am i doing wrong? and curtis: what rom are you using? how many times have you flashed one? and how manytimes has something went wrong? im only 15 and i dont have a job yet so if something does go wrong i cant get a new phone and my mom would be P.O.

Just follow the steps on the one click toolkit, all you need to do is unlock bootloader then install recovery and reboot and done. Just make sure you download the correct one (GSM or CDMA). I've flashed this device plenty of times in the 3 month I've had it with no problems at all, I've also messed about with my last two devices with no issues. And I'm only 17, I'm on an apprenticeship wage so I can't really afford a new device but it's really worth doing, if something goes wrong you can always depend on the people at XDA to help you out in recovering it.
I use MyOneV, its based on Sense Lite but I do prefer the Cyanogenmod based ROMs such as CM10 but I can't get enough of the Sense camera.

Installing apps of jb will not help... The smoothness....!!! The feel of using it will never come at any cost... And dont worry, i hav flashed roms approx. 50 times and nothing went wrong...
Recovery:- try twrp 2.4.4.0 and choose the correct one.... i.e. u r primoU or primoC...
Kernel:- flash dat seperately via fastboot..
Rom:- its up to you...!!!
P.S. please do not be on stock... Try a sense rom if u like it... But no stock... Its not deodexed so u cant even mod it freely...
R: Apps to make jelly bean without flashing rom
Flashing roms is easy once you flash the first one
I suggest you to flash CM 10 but since you want jb feel without it so here you go :
Apex launcher
Holo locker
Camera jb +
Clock jb+
Flash Google now for stock ROM if you want
Jelly bean status bar
Jb messenging app
ICS dialer
Install this much and you are good to go and I highly recommended you to flash Google now its the best feature of jb and flashing this also will not change your ROM or system but since you mentioned that you don't want to flash anything its your choice but its highly recommended
Yes I have flashed google now and am thinking about flashing a Rom. I have noticed google now has a horible amount of lag though.. and is there anyway I can flash a Rom without flashing a kernel as for that would require me to use a computer and right now my computer is down. Or can i flash the boot.IMG using just ny phone?
