How to manually upgrade to FROYO?

Unfortunately I am stuck with very slow GPRS (not even EDGE).
Many people have shared the update on zipped files.
I wanted to know, if I download the update in zip file and transfer it to my mobile, how can i manually install the update myself?
I have found the steps to update the froyo:
1. Download the Android 2.2 firmware for the Desire – here is the link to download
2. Rename the file update.zip and copy it to your microSD card via USB. [Note: make sure the file is named update.zip and not update.zip.zip.]
3. Power down your Desire
4. Hold down the “Volume Down” button as you power the phone back on.
5. A screen should appear showing your phone’s system searching for various files. Scroll down to “recovery” and press the “Power” button.
6. When you see the triangle with an exclamation point symbol, press the “Power” and “Volume Up” buttons at the same time.
7. From the menu that appears, select “Apply sdcard:update.zip.”
8. When the screen displays “Install from sdcard complete” select “reboot system now” and wait for the phone to power back up.

Come on someone must know tha answer?

need answer

Why are we NOT getting update? Do we need to De0Brand the phone? if so how? Plz plz someone help

Actually, my question is aimed at those, who have the debranded phones and who are getting the update, but are unable to download it because of in accessibility of wifi and slow data connection of operator.

Official link for update is
http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip
Now please tell me, how can i transfer it to my mobile and install it from there

I have the same prob. Already downloaded the zip and gonna try a methot found in another website.
Since I'm a new user and not allowed to insert links here it is:

You can also check the process for desire's cousin nexus one:

really? No one is willing to help?

I think you can download the ROM via PC and flash it then with your Recovery!
Should work, but not sure..

I am not sure what is problem
I have tried the above method my self. And every thing ended out great.
The only problem I faced was failure to upgrade due to low disk space. I deleted some apps and tried to install it again. It worked with out any further issue.
You can make sure that you DONOT touch the zip file. DONOT even open or extract it, just download it and transfer to SD Card.

YESS ....
This might be the issue. My desire is not operator locked. May be you guys have branded phones, thats why this ROM is Not for you.

Have you tried this method?
To manually update the phone
1. Download the official firmware update.
2. Copy the file to your microSD card and name it update.zip (newb warning: not update.zip.zip)
3. Power off your phone.
4. Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button and power it back on.
5. The phone will now search for files like PB00IMG.zip, etc. This is normal. Scroll down to recovery and press the POWER button.
6. When you see the /!\ symbol, press the POWER button and the Volume Up button at the same time. You should be presented with a menu and one of the options should be "Apply sdcard:update.zip".
7. Use the trackball to navigate to "apply sdcard:update.zip" and select it.
8. When you see "Install from sdcard complete", select "reboot system now".

I got the same error message. Could it be that my Build Number is 1.19.707.7?
I believe the Zip file, before being renamed to update.zip, contains a different Build.
It is 1.21...
I am using a Desire in Singapore. Any idea why the OTA is only available in European countries?

you're good

The answer is yes
I'm from Taiwan.
The answer is "yes".
I have updated my ZL(C6502) to 307.
But there wasn't 253 upgrade before 307.
so the latest version change is just 434→307 from getting my ZL.

Finally we got someone who had the update, can you please help us to share the ftf file?
Below are the steps;
Stage 1 = Installation
Stage 2 = Getting files to create an FTF
Stage 3 = Creating FTF
PLEASE FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY TO AVOID DATA LOSS
Tools required:
1. Flashtool . Latest version can be found here
2. Sony Update Service Direct link to download is here
3. JRE may be required if Sony Update Service doesn't install it for you, can be found here
4. LOCKED BOOTLOADER is required otherwise sony update service will reject your phone.
Currently there is no way to relock bootloader, if you are unlocked you will need to wait till we have a relock procedure
Stage 1 - Installation
Step 1. Install Flashtool using the installer file downloaded above, this should normally install in C:\Flashtool
Step 2. Install Sony Update Service, IT is better if you install it to the directory C:\Sony Update Service\
when it asks you where to install, This will make things easier and quicker when creating the FTF. and this is what i will refer to in this guide
*Step 3. Install JRE ONLY if Sony Update Service fails to install it or it does not run.
Stage 2 - Getting files to create an FTF
Step 1. Load up Sony Update Service, will ask you to accept license whenever you run it with some tips before you start, CLICK START
Step 2. Next it will ask you to connect your phone, Switch off your phone, Keep hold of volume down and plug your usb into the phone. Your phone LED will briefly flash Red then Green
Step 3. SUS will tell you, you are already up to date, Tick the box and Click install
Step 4. SUS will ask you to confirm data removal, and inform you all DATA will be lost, CLICK YES
NOTE: You will not lose your data if you click yes and then follow the rest of the instructions,
Step 5. SUS will start to download the official firmware for your device, it will not install anything to your device till it has finished downloading all the firmware,
MAKE SURE YOU KEEP AN EYE ON IT AS SOON AS IT HITS 100%, PULL YOUR USB OUT OF YOUR PC ASAP, RAPID, QUICK, FAST WHATEVER OTHERWISE YOU WILL END UP FLASHING FACTORY FIRMWARE AND LOSE DATA
If you pull it out before 100% the download will stop and you will have to follow steps 1 to 5 again, it will resume from where it left off.
At this point i pulled my USB OUT STRAIGHT AWAY ! BEFORE IT TRIED FLASHING MY PHONE
Your Download will be saved in your C Drive > Sony Update Service > DB > some numbers (mine was 13740270) > blob_fs
But at this point it is not in FTF and will need decrypting
Stage 3 - CREATING YOUR FTF
Step 1. Load up flash tool. Once it has opened, click Tools on the menu bar at the top THEN SUES/DECRYPT
Step 2. Click Browse and select your blob_fs folder we discussed above C: > Sony Update Service > DB> ####some number#### > blob_fs
This will show you 4 files, not sure if some might show more or less, but generally 4 on the left in Available files
Step 3. Click on each file then the arrow to send it to files to convert then click convert, Note if it is not doing anything be patient, Decrypting can take several minutes and it will not update you until each file is fully decrypted.
Step 4. Once it has decrypted, it will automatically bring up the Bundler. Give your FTF a name, Version and Branding, see how i named mine.
Move across everything EXCEPT LOADER.SIN from the folder list on the left to the firmware content on the right using the arrows.
If you include loader.sin then you get an error when flashing with flashtool and flashing aborts! this is why i have requested you do not move/include it
Step 5. Click create, a little box will pop up with devices, just double click on C660X SONY Xperia Z or press ENTER
Step 6. Flash tool will then create your FTF, It will automatically save it in C:\Flashtool\Firmwares and also whenever you load flashtool and flash in flashmode it will show you the one you created.

Below are the steps;
1) Download the sony update service (SUS) from: http://www.sonymobile.com/in/tools/update-service/
2) Flash your phone with the latest software available using SUS. [You'll need this step to get the temporary files required to create the ftf]
3) Go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
********[ Replace 'Program Files (x86)' with 'Program Files' in case of a 32 bit computer]********
4) create a folder "Source_files" in C:\
5) You'll find 3 larger files with filenames like "file_#########".One large file (~400MB) and 2 smaller files (~14MB and ~64KB) .Copy those 3
files to "C:\Source_files"
********[Ignore the files with filename like "ICON_#####...."]********
6) Download and install the latest flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.com/
5) Run FlashTool
6) Click Advanced > Decrypt Files
7)Select source folder : "C:\Source_files"
8) From Files, select all (Click & Ctrl + A) and click -> to move the 3 files to "Files to convert"
9) Click OK
10) Wait till it finishes...
11) From Folder list, select all (Click & Ctrl + A) and click -> to move all files to Firmware content.
12) If it is ICS, tick the Disable Final Verification Check
13) On Device write the model [ex. Xperia U (ST25i)], on Version write the firmware version (Ex. 6.1.1.B.1.10) , on Branding write the local
(Ex.Indian or Italian etc.)
14) Click OK
16) Wait till the process finishes...
********[You'll get "Finished bundle creation" message on the log]********
17) When it finishes the .ftf file can be found on "C:\Flashtool\firmwares"
********************* FOR THOSE WHO HAVE USED PCC (PC COMPANION) TO UPDATE THEIR PHONE********************************
For PCC you need to go to
C:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs IN STEP 3 And then follow the rest of the guide from STEP 4

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK ​ ( Proceed with caution and do the same : Risk of losing IMEI )

***Some Users reported its done successfully but some of them said they have lost their IMEI ***
*Activate Developer mode (Settings-> info-> information about software-> quickly press a finger a few times on the item build number ) (You will see a secret menu to: Settings-> developer mode> USB debugging).
**Enable the installation of unknown origin applications. (Settings-> security-> unknown sources).
1. Check SKU of your device** could be ( WW , CN , TR , TW)
2. Download the firmware of 4.3 (10.32.1.33.1) ( 4.4.2 isn't successful) from this link:
3.You end up with a file called: "UpdateLauncher_K012_XX_10_32_1_33_1.zip".
4. Extract it and you Get "UL-K012-XX-10.32.1.33.1-user.zip" file (or pull it out).
5. Rename the "UL-K012-XX-10.32.1.33.1-user.zip" to "K012_SDUPDATE.zip".
6. Copy the newly renamed file ( "K012_SDUPDATE.zip") on the root of SD card.
7. Turnoff the device
8. Go to droidboot (volume UP and POWER simultaneously).
9. Select "RECOVERY MODE" (moving to it by volume), and press the power button to confirm.
Wait for the installation of the firmware and you will be with 4.3.
Then proceed to the 4.4.2 via OTA MANUALLY .. and remember to turn off automatic downloading of firmware via WIFI .. (Settings-> INFO-> SYSTEM UPDATE -> the three dots in the upper right -> disable "Automatically download using Wi-Fi ")

Don't use Adblocker on these sites
Remove chrome updates and do "clear data " and try links (if it does work remove entire chrome by 3C tool and install new version normally (not recommended !!! you may lose connection checking ability ) )
For FB I think there s no enough DPI but you can try.
For Google keyboard and Instagram try new links

i 've been busy(tax season in my work) so i was not able to respond so far, but i wiil do so in next two days, i promise....

my comments about suggestions you made
As i have posted before, you have done a very good work, collecting all these tips and trick that really make our phone to work more smooth and fast. I followed all your suggestion and these are my observetions.
When i unistalled and freese all the apps and services you are suggesting, I noticed that the tablet is working 15-20% faster than before, so this is the first + for your project!
downloaded and tried to install all that you suggest. All are working very well except:
FB is not installing at all no matter what you do.( uninstall, clear data, reinstall it, etc)
Chrome i was not able to install x86, so i downloaded from Play and install new version. I am not fun of Chrome and for once again a realized how heavy load is this browser, i cant see why people are using it. XDA start page did 3 minutes to load, since Mozilla 10 seconds. Any way this is personal opinion .......
Instagramm cause me black screen on phone in the end of installation. I had to hold down power so the phone closes and restarting it. When came back Instagram is working very well !!!!
So the main problems are FB and Chrome for me.
I am using an APP I found here in XDA that compines FB - messenger -Twitter in on screen without heavy load phone you can give it a try if you want. The name is Slidechat and you can take it from Play for free
[APP][4.0+][v2.0]Slidechat http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-slidechat-t3382662
I hope i helped someone with these thought of mine.
The big value though are to ADBLOCKER effords who collected and tested all these things for us to find ready.
THANKS MATE @adblocker !!!!

thanks a lot for the guide, I'm trying to follow your instructions to root the device, but in the first step
(fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img) the only thing I get is a message
<waiting for device>
and nothing happens
when I start the device normally and connect it to PC it is detected fine and nothing is wrong.
any ideas?

NOUGAT 7.0 for G928A ADB update step by step...Enjoy !!!

As i promise to one of member here then i will post it and i have it.
I can't help you with any of problems related do to i don't have S6E+ .
For all with March 4CQB2 baseband update for Nougat. SS-G928AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP - link is UP
MD5 :7a55165ce2b9d3ffe6170491813c44ac
Nougat update if you are on 4CQA1 baseband SS-G928AUCS4CQA1-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip - link is up
MD5 checksum : c74d9106d59dcb0411f9a1e4e23ca797
Make sure you know how to ADB sideload. I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone.
Steps:
0. Make sure you are on G928AUCS4CQA1 or March update G928AUCS4CQB2 Baseband. Check this 3 times
1. Backup everything of importance on your phone!!!
2. Now, make sure you have "show file extension" enabled in Windows, and file is ready for ADB as you download SS-G928AUCS4CQA1-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip or after March 20 update SS-G928AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
3. Shutdown your phone
4. Enter recovery mode by pressing volume up, home and power button together
* A green Droid will appear on screen with the text Installing system update…
5. Using the Volume Button Navigate and the Power button to select ‘Apply Update from ADB’
6. Connect your phone via USB to your computer
7. Open a CMD prompt from your PC. Type cd
in my case: cd C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5

*Note I had issue when the directory contained a space. Moving the update to a directory with no spaces resolved the issue.
Also moved the adb driver to the same directory 'C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5'
9. Type adb devices. You should see 1 device listed
10.Type adb sideload SS-G928AUCS4CQA1-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip or after March 20 update SS-G928AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
11. This took around 25 minutes to complete
12. Phone will now be updated Nougat

I can look for it tomorrow. I'm not familiar with S6E+ at all, i just find update because one of the member ask me if i can. I have no idea what is ladest available firmware for your devices. But like i said i can look for it.
Clicking from Edge of Galaxy

Seems edge+ (and probably note 5) got huge upgrade in Android 7 update. Including performance mode which is not available to gs6.
So far I noticed and worth to mention.
Camera UI renewal
Performance mode
New function from nougat, notification panel and night mode
All the Samsung app seems all redesigned
Display render resolution can be changed between 720p, fhd and wqhd
Battery is better especially for standby time
Great job from Samsung this time
