Did I brick my HTC Desire? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi there,
I have a Htc Desire with a T-Mobile branding which I wanted to update to Froyo.
So I debranded it using a goldcard and flashed the latest 2.1 rom.
Then I tried to update to Froyo but there was no update available.
So I downloaded the update manually and installed it using the recovery mode.
Unfortunately the phone doesn't work as expected.
It boots up but cannot unlock the sim card and reboots automatically after a couple of minutes.
Now i tried to go back to 2.1 but of course the bootloader is too new and this
doesn't work using the RUU ROM Update Utility (bootloader version error).
Any suggestion what I can do now?
I guess I just need another Rom with 2.2 but I don't know which one to take.
Thanks a lot!

fixed it.
I run the update again this time WITH a goldcard
thanks

[Q] Don't get the European Update

Hey guys,
I have flashed the European stock ROM from here on my Sensation, since it has a branded (German Vodafone) ROM.
However, I don't get the notification for the update, which is currently spread out in Europe, for the new market etc.
Also when I search for updates, it shows me that I have the current version on my phone.
Why is that so?
Have you tried searching for an update by your own? And what version are you running.
Btw. I think the market update is only for USA.
Yes, I tried to search for the update on my own with the sensation.
I am running:
1.45.401.2 with Android 2.3.4

Try to do a reset of your phone. That should do it.
You first need to get 1.45.401.3, then you'll be offered 1.50.401.1

Can I flash that without loosing my data, just like the over the air updates?
Btw. I rooted my Sensation, might this be the reason why I don't get the over the air update?
No, even on rooted phones, it will give the notification and let you download. Only at the time of installation phone will give message that you have tempered with your phone
But I cant say why you are not getting the update. I think it could be because your phone is branded. May be the update is released for unbranded phones only, till now.

Nope, my phone was branded at first, but I flashed 2.3.4 (

to unbrand it.
Sorry for double post, but doesn't anyone have a solution for that?

Does really nobody has a clue about a solution to this problem?
Is there maybe a possibility to do the update on my own without loosing my data?
Hey F-Styla,
What is your current CID? Maybe the OTA is CID dependant and the phone is not seeing the update. When I first got my Sensation, I also debranded my phone by setting up CID 032 and flashing RUU 1.24xxx (I don't remember which one exactly) and then it got all the updates. My current version is 1.50.401.1.
PS Did you also try to manually check for the update from Settings? Sometimes the phone is too dump to see it by itself, even if you have mobile/wireless network.

[Q] No OTAs - Restored to Stock

Hey Guys.
Got a little bit of a problem. A while back I flashed Android Revolution HD and a custom recovery.
I recently restored to a stock Vodafone ROM using the 1.24 RUU. The update went fine and everything seems to be running normally except for one thing: I can't update from Android 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 as I'm not receiving any OTA updates whatsoever. Whenever I check for updates, it just says there are none available.
Internet connection is working; it's still Vodafone branded; etc. It just isn't receiving any updates when I check for them.
Any suggestions? Would using the 1.27 RUU make a difference? If it would...please provide a link, as all the ones I've tried are broken.
Regards.
Are you super Cid? Still? You need to set it to the correct CID to get the ota.
For some reason the Vodafone 1.24 for some reason isn't getting OTAs any more - go here and get the 1.27 RUU and you should then get OTAs to take it to 1.50.161.1

Can I update through stock rom now I am rooted

Hello, I am running the stock ROM on the HTC Sensation XE.
I have rooted, but there is an update available, can I update through the system update that HTC put on the ROM? If I do could I brick/loose ROM.
PS. I am unlocked and S-ON.
If you are running GB now and updating to ICS possibly.
I was running the stock TMO US GB (S-off and rooted) and tried the official OTA update to ICS. The update applied, but the bootloader got stuck after the reboot. Had to reflash the stock TMO US 1.50 RUU to a non-rooted state, then I was able to successfully apply the HTC update of ICS.
Have RUU of the rom you have now to get back in case your update doesn't work out as planned.
I am on ICS already. Version 4.03.
There is a software update available, I want to know if I can do this without the phone ****ing up basically.
Just clicked on details and seen that it's a settings update. Just for settings only. Anyway, have decided to give it a go, lets see how it goes.

[Q] No Update Available ?

Got a One S, previously rooted and running trickdroid 3.0. I'm trying to get the update but every time I check it says no updates Available. I Have reflashed stock recovery and re-locked it and ran the RUU, but still no updates. Do you have to have an active SIM in the phone (swapped back to amaze because i couldn't live with all of the issues with the one s) ?

OTA Update to Android 4.0.4 for S4 is Out!

Update: the first users got this OTA update on their stock, non rooted, untouched HTC One S (S4). Everyone could choose to wait to get the update in the normal way. It will come now or later for all. If you can't wait, you can also choose to aply the full RUU from the RUU thread.
Here is the OTA update: OTA_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.21.401.10-1.78.401.2_release_271130unb1vtlbbuv42jp3.zip (download from HTC server or use this mirror). For now you can't install this update if you don't follow the steps down here.
Wifi issue fixes and new EA apps are part of the update. There is also a Rescue app included.
Required
- SuperCID (some kind of universal carrier ID/ region, named the 'developers region'). Everyone can install SuperCID, if you're on US T-Mobile and even if you're on a Chinese device. And everyone need it for now, even the European users. Ofcourse you can always restore your original cidnumber if you want.
- The stock 1.78 WWE ROM (d-h.st mirror or hotfile.com mirror). Also everyone need this ROM and everyone can install this rom if you have got SuperCID.
- Back-up of your files on computer. This update will format all partitions, even the sd card!
Let's get this on a list
- First you need an unlocked bootloader.
- Then you need root.
- After that you can get SuperCID on your phone (thanks hard5ter for reporting). Some users can start here cause they have already an unlocked bootloader and root.
* If you are not on stock 1.78.401.2, you have to install the RUU 1.78 WWE. Before you can do that you have to relock your bootlader. You will loose root, you will get stock Recovery and above all you got the right stock ROM for the OTA.
* If you are on stock 1.78.401.2 already, you can go to the next step after installing stock Recovery. If you want to keep root while updating to the new Android, use 'root survival mode' in SuperSU Pro or use this free OTA RootKeeper. But you need to install stock Recovery.
- Now your phone is ready, you do have SuperCID, relocked bootloader, stock Recovery and the stock WWE ROM. Time to boot your phone, check for updates and download and install that OTA update to get Android 4.0.4.
New Radio_1.06s.50.02.27_2_10.08.50.04L
- Fastboot method of flashing the new Radio gives a 'signature verify fail' error
- The PJ40IMG.zip method in bootloader will also not install any RADIO update.
- In TWRP Recovery you can also flash RADIO zip files. Dima901 replaced the Radio in one of the zip's there with the new Radio and was able to update his Radio trough TWRP, but for most of us that won't work for some reason. If you got stuck in TWRP keep pressing the power button, you have to swipe the slider to the right of your screen, still keep pressing the power button and your phone will shut down. It looks like that this method is only working for certain ROM users like CM, AOKP and MUI users.
- I updated my RADIO by just upgrading to Android 4.0.4. You can do that in a few minutes. Make a nandroid back-up first and you will be back on your current ROM in less then a hour but with the new RADIO.

Hello,
It looks like some guy received an OTA update to Android 4.0.4 with base version 2.21.401.10. He was on the Ville U WWE (RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2_Radio_0.16.31501 S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258480_signed)
Can't wait until someone share the file name of the OTA, so we can all download it from fotadl.htc.com.
The version number looks strange to me. 2.XX.XXX.XX is what we expect, cause HTC highers the number with every new Android version (we are now on 1.84.XX.XXX.XX), X.XX.401.XX stands for WWE, so that's also what we expect, but X.21.XXX.XX sounds a high number for a first update. But whatever, let's get this thing.
Here is a screenshot of the new version. Thanks for reporting cualla84.
We need a breaking news section of this forum. Nice find.

Lol, it was just a link for example. I didn't get my hands on that OTA update, cause we don't know the filename yet. HTC stores al the OTA files on the fotadl.htc.com server, so probably our OTA is already public on that server, but we can't download it as long as we don't know the filename.
Mmm,, ok i now understand. Thanks. Im waiting for it xD
There are some downloads with kernel 3.0.16 on http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads for EU WWE 1.11.401.109 and 1.11.401.101, might be related?
Edit: these seem to be for VilleC2, filenames are villec2-ics-crc-3.0.16-f4c3948.zip and villec2-ics-crc-3.0.16-503c44f.zip so not related to the OTA, also explains the lower version numbers on these perhaps.
