Hey guys,
So I recently bought the Verizon HTC One M7 and it has the Sense 5.5 but I am trying to upgrade it to Sense 6. When I go to Software Update it says that I can only update it on CDMA. Is there a way I can update it? I am overseas and I use GSM, not CDMA. And I don't see any YouTube videos on how to update it :/

S off or s on?
Either way downloading the update zip from the many places it's been posted here and copying it to the phone storage and then rebooting to stock recovery will allow you to update it. Choose the option to install from phone memory

When I go to Software Update it says that I can only update it on CDMA. I turn the phone to CDMA and it keeps looking for the update but finds anything.
Also, I tried to flash the OTA with the stock recovery but it gives me an error saying: "Mount SDCARD Failed 5 times" and when I choose the apply from phone storage, it says "Invalid operation.. .CID something"
I tried to unlock the bootloader from htcdev but it gave me this error: "Error Code: 160. Error Reason: MID Not Allowed."
Any HELP with this!? It's driving me crazy... I know it's possible but I just don't know how..
I NEED YOUR HELP GUYS!!! THANKS!!

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!
really, thats excellent, u have a link?
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.

While I have a lot of linux experience, I'm new to the smartphone world. I just got an unlocked Desire 8182 set with the North American frequencies. It is running Firmware ver. 2.1update1.
I believe it to be a telus phone with just a sim unlock. I've put my ATT sim card in and it works on their network. I want to upgrade to 2.2 but when I search for updates I get the "There are no updates available for your phone" message. I'm guessing it's looking someplace other than HTC's server for this information.
I downloaded the OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip which is what one of the guides suggested, renamed it update.zip, backed up the phone to my local box and moved it to the sd card. I then went through the steps to recover using update.zip and it errored out with a fingerprint error and produced: "Error in /sdcard/update.zip Status 7
What's the easiest option from this point on to get just the stock 2.2 on the phone? BTW
Build number is 1.29.661.1 CL198499 release keys
Baseband version is 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09
Kernel version is 2.6.29e5576724
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Wait for Telus to put the OTA update. It was due to mid-October ... they probably will offer the update this week... you can follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819960
This way...you won't avoid your warranty and get a clean version of froyo
or you could root your phone and install any ROM that you'll find in this forum OR
unbrand your phone with a gold card and get the update directly from HTC ota.
Hi there,
My dad got around to telling me today that his phone has been complaining for over a month that the gingerbread update is available via FOTA, and has been auto downloading but failing each time.
I had a look myself, and the phone has this error:
Update is corrupted
The downloaded system software update is corrupted.
Do you want to download again?

I am wondering what I need to do in order to install the update? A factory reset? Another type of update?
As far as I know, he hasn't modified his phone. He's not technologically challenged, but he is no genius.
Thankyou for your help!

To make a really long story short, after Sprint's recent ota 5.07.651.1 (the update that came with the Sprint connections optimizer) was installed on my phone, I could no longer download or update ANY apps on the android/google play market while connected to 4G. Went to the Sprint store to get it fixed, they tried and failed, got a new replacement handset with ota 5.07.651.1 already installed, same exact issue. Reached the conclusion that the update screwed things up. Downloaded and tried to use this RUU file to revert back to the old build right before this one (4.67.651.1):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484240
This was unsuccesful as the error message it gave me said:
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
My hboot is 2.18.0001, is there a version of the above RUU file that is compatible with my bootloader version?
What is it you're trying to do?
If you unlock your bootloader, you can downgrade your ROM.

If your phone isn't rooted and your bootloader isnt unlocked, then you shouldn't be here. You should be in a sprint store politely asking them for a phone that works. I would get a working phone before you even try rooting/unlocking your phone. It may have larger issues that sprint wont want to fix after you root it.
I'm in Cincinnati Ohio, and I have a *completely stock and non-rooted* Note 2. I have been trying to get this OTA update since it came out, but no dice so far.
It basically just says that no update is available - the same message everyone else reported. Am I just in an area where it has not been rolled out for *anybody*? Or is there something going on?
I know on my Nexus 7 I had to clear the data on a google service to get it to notice when the Kit Kat update showed up - anything like that for the Note 2?
Thanks.
P.S.
I have searched both XDA and with google, and completely read through the main large thread in this forum relating to the update.
I don't want to load the update in any other way that will wipe my phone. I understand that many of you don't feel like waiting for an OTA, and download these updates and load them manually. I do not want to do that. So, this post is only seeking information as to how I can get the OTA update through the update mechanism in the phone.

Have you tried updating through KIES?

No, I don't even have it installed. If I decide to install KIES, does it do the update without wiping the phone - just like the OTA?
I just don't like installing vendor crapware on my computers unless it is absolutely necessary. Which is why I don't own electronics with a "i" prefix.
Ok, I installed KIES and attached is an error message it gives relating to a firmware update

Crap, nevermind. I got this phone via trade and it turns out that the guy I got it from had rooted it at some time in the past... So no OTA for me. I'll accomplish it the way all the other folks have.
Thanks
