Stock Desire OTA 2.29.405.2

Hi,
Just got this update this morning and not sure what changes it made (kinda hoping for new sense, with integration to htcsense.com but I don't think so)
Did any one else get this?
Does anyone know the changes that it made?
Thanks
BW

The solution is online for manual download since a month now.
Big advantage - no more 90% battery problem in the mornings.

I think this was "released" a little while ago - think there was a download link on here for it (think I read basically it was just a radio update?)
But thanks for letting me know - didn't see it on htc.com and nothing on HTC's twitter feeds - downloading and installing OTA now

Got the update too - using LeeDroid ROM though, so I didn't want to install it

Taking awhile to update... min to download, but the last 15 mins installing, rebooting, and then it booted up said "you have successfully updated to 2.29.405.2" then started counting up from 1% -> 58% so far on the htc logo...
Just finished: 9:09

Nice, update on move 25Mb needed on phone memory to update.

Just got the notification about this update this morning. I'm running a rooted, slightly modifierd Stock Rom. The update says it will upgrade the system to 2.29.405.2 and is 28,7MB big. At the bottom it says:
Update: Android Market
Haven't updated yet, since battery is low and I don't want to mess around with my perfectly working phone in the beginning of a long week.

Whats new in Android Market after update?

Been using 2.29.405.2 since the RUU was made available a month or so ago - it's fine to use

To anyone who'd download it:
Do I need to clear some space and wipe some apps so this update can be installed properly?

I'm using a stock rooted desire. Anyone knows if I'm going to loose root if I update OTA?

This is great! Good work guys!
Now if someone can just debrand it by taking out the crap apps that should have been optional like:
Kindle
Google Play Movies & TV
Google Play Music
Google Play Books
My AT&T
AT&T Messages
AT&TLocker
AT&T Code Scanner
AT&T FamilyMap
AT&T Hot Spots
AT&T Navigator
AT&T Ready2Go
Live TV
PDF Viewer (never worked for me since day 1 had to install Adobes version)
YP Local Searc & Gas Prices
And the AT&T boot up image

google play & movies and play books are useful sometimes . the other i do think is just bloat . but once the phone has root , they can be remove with TB

Funny thing, when I uninstalled all the AT&T bloat with TiBu it just popped back on when I restarted... I had to just freeze it all instead, which is good enough for me.

TiBu have never worked for me since 3 years ago when i rooted my Aria as it always did what you mentioned. I always had to manually go into the system folder and delete the .apk files of the bloatware.

That is weird , even with the aría, it worked fine for me , even now all the att bloatware is gone, that means more ram !!!
But the system folder for a the job too
You know what I never got to learn how to use , was Rom cleaner with the inspire

I believe this have to do with TiBu now mounting the system folder as read/write. My final straw was always to get the stock rom, delete the bloat ware inside it, then flash the bloatware free rom to the device.
Waiting on a clockwork fix

^ Agree about cwm, and even more waiting on custom jelly bean or cyanogen! :fingers-crossed:
Edit: I just struck a deal with my girlfriend, and she is going to buy my one vx and I'm getting the nexus4! I realllly liked this phone but of course always prefer a GED! Good luck to all and I'll come back around for a rom for her sometime.

the problem with not being able to keep deleted files from coming back is the boot.img, htc did this with the dna and one x in recent firmware. can this device bootloader be unlocked via htcdev?

Yeah it can be unlocked with HTC dev If you use unsupported models I think it's last on the list

Flashing another ROM with built in OTA blocker should work or any ROM but you may get prompted repeatedly if it doesnt have OTAs blocked.

When she gets home I'll see if I can track it down.

I got notified for the update after it automatically downloaded at 11:38AM CST. It downloaded into /cache/fumo/ as OTAPkg.zip, just like the last update.
I have uploaded the file here for whomever would like to take it apart.

I hit check new, and it downloaded it but then nothing happened and it didn't give me the option to apply it. Clicking check new now does nothing. Weird.
EDIT: never mind, it prompted me. I'm installing it now (I don't care about root)

I got it and the only difference I see is the build number. Same Android and sense version. I don't see anything new...
Maybe it's prep for 4.3.

Looks to be an attempt at fixing the camera at night time/low light and a microphone fix of some type.
There's also a new radio and kernel...

New radio !! Can't wait to flash the radio

I am wondering if there is any reason not to go back to stock and take the ota. From what i heard once you are s-off you can always re-root , and the chances of vzw pushing s-on and breaking dev phones are slim to none

Verizon g pad missing update center

I was trying g to use qpair and it told me to update via the update center. The only problem is I don't have the update center on my pad, I even looked in system/privapp/ and there was no lgupdatecenter.apk, could someone please upload the app along with the odex file.

Thank You, I see on the other threads you are very helpful. I have been rooting/roming since the droid 1 but with every device it's always something new.
I was allready rooted, but by searching the threads I was also able to downgrade my aboot to 4.2.2 and then flash twrp and make a backup, I feel much safer now as far as tweaking etc.

I haven't had a chance to restore my stock backup yet, been a hell of a day trying to get new official stock Lollipop to behave on my wife's phone. I won't digress further.
I'm going to clear space on a USB OTA flash drive now to make a fresh nandroid, then I can restore 100% stock and get that for you.
And thanks for noticing! *blush* LOL!

Sorry for the confusion but I do have that screen. Qpair tells me to updatevia the update center. So after searching xda I was under the impression that there was supposed to be an update center app on my tablet that was preloaded by LG. Then in that update center app it's supposed to have app updates for the LG apps. I will post screenshots of my error when I try to use qpair.
The update center apk should be in system/priv_app/lgupdatecenter.apk

That's okay. I expected that to be the case.
I too haven't found any app in the app drawer or apk in priv-app. What I found I searched for "update" in my file manager, plus the OTA-related one I spotted.
I'm going to do some digging into the pre-Stump'd 23A and see if I have any better luck. What I'm running now is a restored nandroid I had saved of completely stock, no SuperSU, but I didn't specifically note and I'm not sure if I had Stump'd this copy. Obviously I had to have Stump'd to get rooted in the first place, but this time around, anyway, I merely wiped the device, restored only the System (I had only backed up that and Boot) and then flashed the latest SuperSU.zip to root it but my memory is hazy on what I had done to make a nandroid on as pure stock as I could.
I've got some ideas to try a definite pre-Stump'd copy and I'll give you an update when I get anywhere.
I apologize for being so wordy. [emoji6]
I just wanted to check, you are on 23A, right?

One can only wonder what the heck verizon does to their software such that it requires a 612meg security patch huh?
Anyhow.. Time to use that nandroid i posed in the dev section to accept the OTA.. -or- I will post an updated one later this evening.

Probably 600mb of updated NFL bloatware included and the rest just the security update.

Any word yet on whether this is really just a 612Meg security patch?

Ran into an issue with this update. It failed to install on 11/3 with a error code 409, but when I try to download it again by selecting "Check for new system updates" it says I have the latest update. I've rebooted a number of times and it shows up every time. From what little information I can find online, I have to reset my phone to factory then attempt to update again. I want to avoid this so here I am.

I'm not rooted.
Update: I decided to just to a factory reset. Thankfully it worked and I am at the latest firmware.

So I've tried letting this update run a couple times. Downloading for the third time as I write this. When it tries to install, it just reboots into TWRP recovery and does nothing. Then I restart the phone and basically start the process all over again. Any guidance on how to get this squared away?? I met one of the members here with a card who S-offed, unlocked, rooted, my phone which I'm thankful for. Just want to be stock rooted is all. Don't really do much with custom roms on this phone. Thanks.
