OTA does not work

I have a Dutch HTC Desire, English language.
When I check for an update I get the message there is one available.
I see the download was completed and it restarts my Desire.
I see a screen with a phone and arrow, followed by a phone with a question mark.
Then the phone restarts and I have the 'old' version.
Is it that I have a rooted version?
What do I have to do to get FroYo? I downloaded PB99IMG_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_12984_signed.zip.
When 'Flash zip from sdcard' it also gave an error:
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Anyone a suggestion?

Yeah, root is probably the problem.
It's not FroYo though, it's just a bunch of minor changes and bugfixes. Also, it's not that new, it's been out unoffically for a couple of weeks. A lot of the custom roms on here and on modaco are based on the same 1.21 rom and will allow you to keep root and apps2sd. So you could flash to one of those, maybe?

I don't think this is the Froyo update. Apparently it's just an HTC update of some kind that doesn't make much of a change. Just keep trying, but in the mean time don't stress too much, you're not missing out on anything.

o really? so i cant install the OTA updates if i have root? that really sux and if i had known that when i flashed i wouldnt have done it.
i might reflash to this version as i want it for the facebook contacts bug fix. i dont have apps2sd as as far as im aware thats regulary bricking phones, that still the case?

Couldn't say. The Desire root was so half-assed and seemed to cause so many issues that I just didn't bother doing it, so I'm just going by what I've read

ok, well is it possible to do an update without having to flash and therefore resetup and backup all my settings etc? i.e. in the same way the OTA update would do it without resetting the device

The usb brick issue now has a fix available, and it wasn't due to a2sd!

Yep.

The recovery method was causing the problems. It still does, but they can now be fixed. people are working on the recovery and booting from SD card etc.
Edit: If you fancy trying out froyo on the desire you can flash a test rom from the dev forums. It's not for everyone yet as it's not totally working, but I'm using a froyo rom and find it's pretty decent for a hacked version!

A rather strange point of view!
Most rooted users wouldn't want to install an OTA because they would then lose root. On other phones (e.g. G1, Magic etc) most rooted ROMs have the OTA mechanism disabled.
The normal course of action for rooted users is to wait for someone to repack the update as a rooted update.zip.

how to manual install OTA update and app2sd

Hey,
When i first got my desire, one of the first things i did to it was root it and install the blank generic HTC rom (to get rid of all the crap my service provider had put on it). However, as its rooted i cant install the OTA update over the air. So ive downloaded the latest one from this forum but how to i install just the update exactly? Actually, i think i just downloaded the non root OTA update, is there a rooted 1.21... update somewhere?
Also, when i initially put the new rom on my phone, i didnt put app2sd on there as i heard about all these phones being bricked and didnt want to lose my nice new shiny desire, but ive heard this problem is now solved. How do i go about installing it now? Do i have to reflash everything or can i just install it over the top as if its an app itself somehow?
so to summarise:
1. how to install OTA manually
2. How to install App2sd
Thanks for you help

problem! update hasnt actually updated phone

hey
I have an orange phone which a while ago i flashed with a generic rom and rooted. because of this i was unable to install the OTA so i did a manual upgrade to this rom:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
This installed fine (it seems), but as i am on orange, when i rebooted the phone it was network locked. I read that flashing an older radio solved this problem so i went and flashed this radio:
update-bravo-radio-32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11-signed.zip
This now makes my phone boot and work fine with no lock, HOWEVER, the software version still says it is on 1.15.405.4 and not the updated version!!!!
I have tried testing one of the bugs that was fixed in the new ota (i sms'd myself from skype and it still says it was sent by a facebook contact) and so that fix clearly wasnt present and the upgrade just hasnt seemd to work. Can anyone shed any light on this? could it have anything to do with what is installed on my phone during step 1 of the root? the root package i am using is called r5-desire-root-alt
Thanks for anyone who can help on this

Rooting the phone puts the 1.15.405.4 ROM back on your device, if you want 1.21 you'll have to then buy an unlock code to free up the device...
There is an update ZIP in the ROM dev forum which updates the system but leaves the radio alone so might wanna try that...

thanks for this, but the only update i have been able to find in the dev forum is the one on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
but there is a note at the top saying they all contain radio updates
do you have a link to one without the radio update?

Didn't look hard did you??

thank you sooo much, this has finally sorted out my problem

OTA UK generic Rooted from 4.0.A.2.368 to 3.0.2.A.0.42

OTA UK generic ( Rooted ) from 4.0.A.2.368 to 3.0.2.A.0.42
Today i got my OTA notification that the new software was downloaded.
Problem is that when i try to install it, it will install two of the four steps to complete, it lights up the third blue dot/ball and then the phone restarts and tell me that the update can not be installed.
I am looking to OTA because of the information i have on my phone, and not to loose it i have been waiting for the OTA.
Now i am sitting here wondering about what could cause this.. Is it system apps that have been deleted? I found no apps missing from the System Apps 101 topic in here. And there has been very little system digging since the last 368 update.
Anyone have been in my situtation and have any solution? Maybe what to look for in the terms of missing system scatter?

Just install it using SEUS or flashtool instead. Then root using the zergrush method.

Yes i know But that i could have done weeks ago.. i was looking for the OTA solution, because i dont want to "format" my phone.. and loose root. As my phone is Simlocked, rooting it again is rather tricky.. and i loose all my good****

SIM lock and root dont have any connection between them.

Sim lock means no Bootloader access as far as i know on the ARC? Then i have to reflash my phone again Something that i would rather not.. as the OTA is available for me? Only there is a probo installing it.. Thought maybe someone had a solution to what it could be that is not letting me install it?

SIM lock dont have anything with any other thing on phone..
My phone is from free sell (its lockedbootloader to SONY ERICSSON) not to t-com or what else it is, but SIM is UNLOCK

My bad, service provider locked. Means that the usual SE Unlock Bootloader trick does not work.. and the phone can not enter Bootloader by holding the back key etc etc.. So i can't flash separate files with ADB as i did with my old X10MiniPro when i updated. So now i have to use SEUS or Flashtool.. and both ways i loose my stash. SEUS resets my phone, with no loss.. but i loose my root. Flashtool resets my phone and all my **** on it, and i have to root and OTA again..
And as i CAN recieve the OTA, i just need to know what could cause the OTA to fail on a more than worthy default .368 with root. As i OTA'ed UP to .368 i assumed that OTA to .42 would go just as smooth.. but no

update with SEUS (if you say that you dont loos anything)
than just root it with zergush metod (5min, root any ROM)
and voila

Voila It actually worked! Thanks

no problem

I have the same concern. Just wanna ask, did u use SEUS to update it? Did u lose your root? Thanks in advance!

Hold on, I had problems with mine the other day and have done the restore via SEUS (holding the back button whilst inserting the USB cable) and my build is coming back as 4.0.1.A.0.266.
Have I got something I shouldn't have? or done something wrong?

i have exactly the same problem i guess, i uploaded it to youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpzzvbHvMPA&feature=channel_video_title
the thing is i tried to use SEUS and it doesnt give me the option to update, it says i have the latest software.
so if anyone knows which countries got the OTA update please tell me, so i can change the customization number in the build.prop file and hope to get the update :\

[Q] My nexus 7 its crazy and getting error updating.

Hi, i have some kind of problem with my nexus 7 2013.. I already have lollipop 5.1.1 official on my tablet and have root and unlocked bootloader (root with king root, yes it works and is rooted.. And bootloader unlocked with boot unlocker.. I know you might think that this are not the best way of rooting or unloking the bootloader but it worked for me and im happy) and since yesterday the tablet keeps telling me to update via OTA the 5.1.1 update witch i already have..i press update to install it as normal, it reboot as normal too and when it shows me the parte where it suppose to be installing the update (you know, with the android with the chest open part) the only thing that says is "error" it doesn't install anything..i did this like 3 times now and every one of them says error.. The annoying part is that it keeps showing me the notification to update it..so any solutions? Thanks!
Sorry for bad english blah blah...

You can't take ota updates if you modify system files, you did that with root. Don't know why it's showing you 5.1.1 when you already have it.
Just flash the factory image with fastboot (probably no need to wipe, just flash boot.img and system.img and format cache).
That should fix the problem. It will also remove root. I'd recommend not using that king root **** but whatever. Probably better to just flash the su zip in twrp or use CF-Auto-Root.
When the next update comes remember you won't be able to take the ota. But that doesn't matter since google posts factory images and all you need to do is flash it with fastboot, then root again.
