WiFi error after update 2.10.405.2

Hello
Few days ago I was prompted to install update 2.10.405.2. After the installation I can't enable wifi anymore; it simply says error. I just got my phone 2 weeks ago on an Orange contract (from mobiles.co.uk), but when I contacted HTC they said that my phone should be a branded and locked O2 Desire. HTC said that because my phone was unbranded the update messed my phone. Is that possible?
I noticed that quite a few people are affected by this, but the guy from HTC wouldn't say if they are aware of this problem or if they are working on a fix. They "escalated" the call but haven't contacted me back yet.
Is there a way to simply uninstall the update?
I read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779787 but I wouldn't want to downgrade to 2.1 (I just got this phone 2 weeks ago, plus this is my first Android so...) wouldn't that invalidate my warranty ?
Please advise,
Thanks

If your Desire was a previously branded handset then you need your gold card in the unit for ALL updates. This is why the handset is having issues...

I didn't know that.
Why was I given a previously branded phone in the first place, if this could cause problems like this?
Anyway, I made my main microSD card a gold card now... for future updates. Does this gold card just needs to be in the device when you update, or you need to do something else as well ?
Is there a way to simply uninstall this bloody update?

You just need the gold card in the unit...Don't suppose you happen to know the software version that was on the unit when you got it do you?

Unfortunately no. But this was the first and only update that I got, if that helps.

Same issue here, is a hard reset/reflash the only solution? I'd rather not lose my files and stuff, ofcourse.

It would be either 1.21.405.2 or 2.09.405.8 I'd imagine...
CPW own mobiles.co.uk so it should've been an unbranded device - mine was from a CPW store and was unbranded - so it may have not been a branded unit. Follow this guide and if it completes with no issues you're on an unbranded unit (it will roll you back to Android 2.1 and you can then flash the Android 2.2 RUU file directly (or try the OTA update again)*
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
* You will lose all data, mind, so backup what you need before doing this

Will this invalidate my warranty?
I also contacted mobiles.co.uk (as HTC suggested) to ask them why on HTC database my phone apears as a branded O2 phone, but still got no answer from them. You are saying that it should have been an unbranded Desire ?

No it won't, if it completes then you've got a generic Desire and that guide puts you back to stock 2.1...you can then update again to 2.2 and HTC won't know a thing...
I'm saying it should have been an unbranded Desire going from my experience of CPW - that's not to say EVERY Desire will be unbranded as it depends where they got the stock from

Quote from post : [HOWTO] Downgrade Froyo (2.2) to Stock 2.1 (ANY HBOOT | WIN/LINUX/MAC | ROOT)
"Further Information
If you want to flash an alternative RUU (e.g. a branded 2.1 release), just skip the downgrade section at the end by pressing vol-down on the phone when the utility has completed. Then reboot the phone and run the RUU you want. If you have an SLCD screen you should be very careful here - most RUUs don't support the screen."
Question: Do I need to skip the downgrade?
My model number is HTC Desire A8181 - is this with SLCD screen?
I have downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
Is this ok to flash after this process?
Sorry, I am a novice (got the phone 2 weeks ago) and did not expect to bump into problems like this so early.
Please help, I wouldn't want to brick my phone.

The guide downgrades you to the stock 1.21.405.2 ROM which is fine for SLCD screens. You can then either use that RUU or just do the OTA update again - whichever you prefer (personally, I use the RUU)
There should be no issues if you follow the guide to the letter
Other thing to try first, though, is a hard reset - it might fix it for you

Just did a hard-reset. It didn't help. Will try downgrading and let you know how it went.

I did the downgrade and now the wireless is working again )
I'm flashing that RUU now
Thanks so much EddyOS

No worries matey, just keep the gold card in the phone and you shouldn't have issue in future

I had the same problem.
No WiFi and hotspot after ota.
This because i forgot to put in my goldcard...
Easiest way to fix it is to make a goldcard, then get the .zip file from the 2.10.405.2 update and place it on the goldcard.
Rename it update.zip.
Put the goldcard in your phone.
Then enter recovery mode (reboot your phone, when turning on hold the lock button and volume down button)
Select recovery in the menu you get, then wait, after a while it shows you a few options. Choose the option to run the update.zip.
Done, everything works perfectly.
Its really easy, only making the goldcard out of an SD requires a little searching/reading.
Good luck!
Edit: forgot to say it doesnt erase any data, like apps and contacts.
Just be sure if you use your current SD card as goldcard to copy everything to your pc before making it. Then you can put it back later on.

Finaly back to the latest 2.2 Android. Updated using OTA.
Tried updating with RUU but for some reason after the RUU rebooted the phone to start the update, the phone got stuck on the HTC screen and the RUU timed out; tried it several times.
But I'm back on track now.
Will keep the goldcard in at all times. Lesson learned the hard way.
DaannRoz - unfortunately I already did the hard-reset...
Thanks everybody.

Thanks DaannRoz
I put a new 16gb into my phone a while back and put it through the gold card process so I thought it should work. It didnt and I got the Wifi error code. I put the original gold card in and went through the steps you provided and got my Wifi back. It saved me from reflashing the phone and wiping out all my apps and data.
I anyone gets a picture of a phone with a red triangle and a apostrophe in it you need to push and hold the volume key up and then press the power button to get to the rom select screen.

Thanks Daan..
Just stuffed my Desire. Will try the update via recovery @ home.
BTW is this the update you want me to do ??

I got the same issue. After reapplying the update with an update.zip and the recovery mode --with gold card inside at this moment-- everything goes fine and my WiFi works again...

Debranding guidance needed from the very expert Guru

Hi Gurus,
Since the last two weeks , I have tried almost all the options to debrand the Htc Desire Orange UK version, but not success, Below was my cell stock information when I purchased it.
Htc Desire Black Edition (PVT1) not brown one
Froyo 2.2
Hboot = 0.93.0001
Radio = 5.10
CID=ORANG001
I wanted to debrand it to generic from the Orange then I rooted it with UnRevoked and S-Off through AlphaRev and executed the file "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe" from shipped Roms.
After that I got the Radio V2 Fail, When I restarted the cell, there was no display, even the charging light was off.
I contacted a person that has RiffBox, he flashed it and changed the CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001.
My cell new configuration is as below :
Hboot=0.930001
Radio=4.06
CID=HTC__001
Right now I have only fastboot and hboot access with no ROM in cell phone .
After that I tried almost all the Roms from the shipped-roms's bravo secton, they gives 2 types of error upon executing :
1. partition update failed (error on Radio v2 pu fail)
2. signature verification failed.
I want to debrand my cell to generic one , so that I can get rid of Orange stuff.
I am stuck at that point, needed the expert guidance to pass through this situation.
Thanks

No Guru answered till yet !!!

Given that you are s-off and rooted why would you not just install one of the stock rooted ROMs from the second post in this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
I personally would not have changed the CID, can you install your stock RUU anymore?

Thanks 'welshbloke70' for reply.
Well, After having flashed with RiffBox my cell is no longer rooted or s-off.
Currently I have just fastboot and only hboot menu access. RECOVERY is not operational now.
When I turned on the cell, it directly comes to fastboot menu due to no
ROM in cell after flashing. So in this case I can only install from RUU or PB99IMG.zip, the xda link you gave have all the the ROMS but for rooted cell phones.
As now I have changed CID (HTC__001) which is the generic one, so I dont get any CID error upon installing generic RUU.
Any other suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Paul,
I think the Gurus/expert are there are too much busy thats why they can not respond.
Well I saw your given link. It requires clockworkmod or Armon recovery, currently I am not rooted, so can not use the roms there.

Do you have a Gold Card??? Cause your problem sounds pretty bad. Since you aren't rooted and you don't have a recovery, it is pretty obvious that you can't install a custom ROM.
I guess you tried also the latest version of RUU which is 2.29.405.5 if you are from EUROPE.
From what I've read you can flash an branded RUU or another RUU on a branded phone only if you have a Gold Card. Now I don't know if this applies to you since you are no longer branded, but you can give it a shot if you haven't tried yet.
I think there is a tutorial on how to make a Gold Card even if you can't access the phone or see the screen. I'll look for it and post it here.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks 'UsManyDead' for taking interest in my case. The answers are as below :
1. Yes, I have gold card, for now its useless. Because as I know we need the gold card only if we are going to install a rom that is different from the current cell CID.
In my case I have already changed my CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001 and any generic RUU supports HTC__001 so there is no need of gold card in my case.
2. Any custom rom can not be installed due to fact that cell is no more rooted.
Only PB***.zip or Ruu can solve the problem. I have tried almost all the roms and ruu from shipped-roms. but they give 2 types of errors as I mentioned in my first post. I have also tried 2.29.405.5 many times but no success.
I know the options are becoming very few , but I hope that I will pass through this failure from you and xda community users.
Any other advice will be welcomed.
Thanks

Hello once again. I just read a little more about your problem, which is very rare but found some good threads you should read and try.
REMEMBER TO READ THEM IN FULL ( FROM FIRST PAGE TILL THE LAST ONE ) and maybe post your problem there, might be easier to get help.
First thread: ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 ( even if it is for bricked SLCD, something in there might actually help, for example how to get the PB99IMG.zip from a RUU file)
Second thread (a continuation of the first): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831734
Third thread (where I actually found your exact problem): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000385 . Someone explains some kind of "voodoo" to be done to repair the error you get, and there are positive results, and I think you can use the first 2 thread to get the PB99IMG.zip.
Give it a try and remember to read them in full to understand. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi mate don't know if this can help you....i got usb bricked with my rooted and s-off desire. I flashed a an RUU thinking it would solve my issue but of course it just left me with a USB Brick unrooted! You can't write to that and no access with Adb. I got great help from Unrevoked page which fixed me by getting me back to root.

Thank all of you for taking interest in my problem.
At the end I have got success BUT with failure. Here is my story.
1. Erased and Flashed with RiffBox with CID=11111111 (super id)
2. Kept cell phone in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
3. Installed the new ROM from PB99IMG.zip (PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip ) without any error.
4. Kept cell phone again in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
5. Started the cell phone for the first time and executed setup and went till the Home screen fine.
6. Tried some games and flash intensive web sites, and ohhh the phone rebooted.
It rebooted again and again. Untill I pulled out the battery and put it again after 30 minutes, but was unable to reach home screen.
Again kept the cell phone in refrigerator and phone works for a short time before it starts reboot loop.
So the main problem is rebooting now.
I spent nearly 16 hours on net , reading forums/posts for solution but at the end found that there is no solution except the motherboard replacement.
I am in PK and here is no HTC service center. I bought it second hand so dont have any warranty card/info with me.
So its just like a piece of scrape for me.
Anyways again thank you all for the great help. May be this refrigerator solution could work for anyone.
Thanks,
Ali

Have you tried changing cid back to orange and flashing correct ruu?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

No, I didn't try to change the CID to orange. And there is no orange related PB** or RUU on shipped roms.
I dont think Orange have done some customization in kernel or any other part.
I have seen threads running the generic version on orange brand phone. So it shouldn't be a issue, however bootloop problem is not related to either generic or orange brand rom , its related to motherboard.
Have you seen any post in which generic rom is initiating bootloop while the orange rom solved it ?
Thanks,
Ali

No Ali, I haven't. Seeing that you are in the dead end, I think that its worth trying everything from scratch. Don't know much about cid change, but could it be that cid is in a few places and now that you've changed it it sort of fights itself ? Will have a look into all this a bit later, I'm far from guru, but with a bit of luck should be able to find some info.

Hi tinky1,
Well, I have complete nandroid backup (boot, data, recovery and system images). I did it when I was rooted by unrevoked (clockworkmod).
Currently I have installed stock rom '2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_ release_159811', so how can I restore my earlier backup (i will again change the CID to orange, no issue) ?
Please remember i can not root now due to boot loop problem.
Any suggestion ?
Ali

So what do you actually have working? Bootloader, fastboot, recovery? Does phone bootloop when (if you can) you go into one of these?

Currently I have working fastboot and hboot. Recovery is not working , it stuck on HTC green logo.
Normal phone startup is also not functional, it reboots itself before it reaches 'Quietly Brilliant' logo.

I have managed to install Cyanogenmod 7 but the bootloop problem still exist. Analyzing the problem.

[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!

BIOS information is:

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.

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.

[Q] Flashing Stock RUU on Unlocked 3UK (H3G__001)

Hi Everyone,
Basically I had a htc desire hd fully rooted on 3UK never had an issue.... until I got my upgrade to HTC One X , meaning my dad was then given the DHD he unlocked it with a code so he could use Vodafone, all was well until recently it started dropping signal restarted it all was well then again no signal ie '' your sim doesn't allow connection to this network'' (or something like that)
It was running ginger sense or something cant remember..... I can get into boot loader, recovery etc but i have tried to flash various roms but nothing, I also flashed a radio to match the ril still nothing wont boot at all now.
This is the info off the phone:-
CID:H3G_001

Sep 7 2011,19:06:24?
If anyone can post me a link to an original 3UK RUU that will work or even advise why with the 2 RUU I have tried comes up error 135
Please help thanks in advance

Most likely he used an ime unlock code, which lets him use different carriers. Your phone is not rooted. S-on. Trying to flash roms on a phone that is not rooted and I believe - but not sure, trying to flash radios- would not work since it's still s-on.

Cheers for the response yes the phone is rooted has been for almost 1yr lost count how many roms I have had on it etc.
Thinking of starting again as at a dead end been spending most of the day looking for RUU but all links are dead :crying:
If anyone has an RUU 3UK please send me a link or even a working guide if your rooted but S-ON again most guides are for USA Ace etc not UK Desire HD so keeps failing

Cheers matthew33 that would be great :good:
Right there this second have found a RUU which worked and brought the DHD back to life as if it just came out the box.
However back to square one... no service it just OTA to 2.3.3, with a 3 sim it does'nt say limited service or anything and when going into settings abut phone etc the APN seems correct but nothing?? Wifi works.
Funny thing is if I put in a Vodafone sim which it was unlocked to use it shows blank at the APN settings page.
I will try the AAhk kit or whatever its called as I can actually get into the phone now.
matthew33 can you let me know your baseband etc if your on 3uk so I can match and hopefully fix this stupid issue Thanks :good:
