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?
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
I rooted this phone a few months back and it's been great so far, but it keeps telling me that I have an update to install, but can't since it's rooted. When I did try to install it (forgetting about the root), all it did was give me the black screen with a little Android guy and an exclamation point.
So, how would I go about updating this phone? I have the Marvelc (CDMA) verison of the phone.

I got myself a wildfire s a short while ago, so I could teather my galaxy tab 10.1 (my S2 was stolen). It seemed a good idea at the time, to get a cheap, small Android phone, for this purpose and just making phonecalls.
I knew the phone had limited storage, but at the time wasn't really an issue.
I unboxed it, started it up, put my sim card in, and away I went. ( I bought it sim - free brand new from carphone warehouse )
once set up, it informed me there was an ota update, which went fine, no problem. I continued to set the phone up with my favorite softwares, and everything was great.
This is where the problem started.
A few weeks later, It told me there was new update, so update i _TRIED_ . And failed. It told me that the firmware on the phone was not HTC, and would not be updated.
Not a problem, I dont care, i thought. It does all i need to do, and I didnt really want to do a full reset on it, so I didnt bother for a couple of months, it was fine.
Eventually, I started to find the tiny storage quite irritating, so got myself a class 10 8GB SD card, and looked into using somthing like Data2SD.
No problem, Iv rooted a few phones, so did the required reading into getting root and s-off. Easy ( I thought ).
I took myself off the htc dev, to download the unlocked bootloader today, and attempted to install. UH-OH.. Error 190 .. Wrong firmware version.
I decided now was as good a time as any to hard reset, as it would happen anyway, and retry the ota update..... FAIL!
I contacted HTC, and they said I would have to send off for repair ( I guess I could, its stock, unmodded in any way yet ) but that would mean I would be without my phone.
then I tried this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445867&page=1
didnt work. I need the new 2.33.401.3 software, but im stuck on 1.33.401.3 (Android 2.3.3)
Is there a way to root and s-off the older firmware as HTC DEV now require you to have the newer firmware to unlock the bootloader, or atleast manually flash the newer firmware??
Plz help me, before i chuck my phone in the sink!
Thanks,
Dave
Get the RUU of 2.13.401.whatever from somewhere (You'll find it in the 'Shipped marvel rom collection' at the top of the dev section) and run that first before you you run the unlockable bootloader one and tell us what happens
This worked perfectly. Thankyou. I downloaded the HTC EU rom, for 2.13.401.3, Flashed it in, and the rest worked.
Thanks again,
Dave
Hi, digitalwarfare
you flashed this
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed.exe
or this
Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed_ROM.zip
What are the differences, please?
I am new here and would really like some help from you guys.
So here is the story I work in IT I am very savy but never got the chance to root my phone because I didn't want to brick it. But now I am tired of waiting for jelly bean update for my T-mobile Samsung GS3. I watch all the videos on how to go into download mode and use Odin v1.85 to install a rom(I think that's what it does sorry if it's not correct I am a noob when it comes to this) Any way when I tried to install it everything passed and everything seemed ok. But when it rebooted it wasn't rooted and I didn't understand why so when I went back into download mode to see if I did something wrong. When I went back into it I found out something that I am pissed about. With the latest firmware update(please excuse if this is wrong but i think I am right) It says Qualcomm secureboot: Enable Does this mean they have locked the boot loader so I cannot root or put a custom rom on my GS3?
If you could please tell me what that means it would be great. I have a screen shot if anybody wants to see it. Is there a way around this?
Hello everyone,
i bought an htc 820u recently and in the settings > about, software update is missing. Therefore i cannot upgrade to lollipop, that is my main problem.
I think that the only solution would be to install another stock kitkat rom so i can do the software update. i am used to flash samsung roms but when it comes to htc i know nothing. it's been 4 days i've been searching desperately but i cant get any tutorial to flash a kitkat rom. i managed to get a solution where it says to restore the kitkat rom through a twrp backup. i told to myself ok, i made a search on how to get twrp recovery and to my disapointment i find out that i need to unlock bootloader.
Once more i told to myself ok and go forward trying to unlock bootloader but i can't figure out how to do that correctly. All that struggle only to get a lollipop update, i'm really tired of that i'm losing all my time with this. If anyone can help me that would be appreciated. Feels really discouraging to look for something that much and not getting any results wow...
I managed to do it on my own finally after so much time. Thanks to ale those who saw the post and decided NOT to help. Topic closed.
820 flash
how do solve this problem please tell me how to downgrade htc 820
