[ota] htc eu 2.10.405.2 - 2.09.405.8

New OTA Update for the EU was released today. But it has the old Radio and no further changes, except the working PEEP Twitter Client
Updates HBOOT to 0.93 and of course you will lose root, if you install AS IS! Be careful and wait for a rooted version...

Thought, this could be useful

That does contain a radio update from 2.09.405.8, and updates HBOOT to 0.93, and changes the kernel too.

For me the HBoot was updated from 0.92 to 0.93.
Edit: There was some1 faster...

Thanks, teppic74 forgot to mention a warning in the first post

There are a few fixes in it. HTC's announcement is a bit vague:
Update Information: 1.Android OS update patch 2.Enhanced multi inbox Gmail support 3.Improved Russia keyboard layout

AFAIK the older Peep is working again also, so the folks at Twitter just loosened their leash. *wondering if HTC gave some kind of incentive*

hi all. i have 2.09.405.8.
Can i install this new ota update manually? My desire is not rooted.
How can i install it?
thx

Yes, download it rename it update.zip (not update.zip.zip, mind!!) and put it on your SD card
Boot into HBOOT, select recovery and once you get to the red ! hold volume up and press power and select 'Apply SD:update.zip' and it will install

i believe that for now on there is no way to downgrade 0.93 or even root?

unrEVOked 3.2 works - I did it the other day with the now removed version. You can also downgrade using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
unrEVOked will hopefully be up again soon so everyone can root easily!

hi guys,
I try to do downgrade because of the wifi problem, but i`m unable to go to recovery mode.
i`m using froyo 2.10.405.2 with gold card

I have a normal unrooted and unbranded desire. I have copied the update.zip on the SD card. How do I enter the recovery mode?

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'm getting the same issue actually. I tried both downloading OTA, and this file, but same issue.
Edit: It's due to the phone being rooted, so either wait until someone smarter than me uploads a rooted version rom, or un-root.

guys i have downloaded the file and i have the Goldcard which i made earlier when i was updating to froyo from Eclair.
can i use that old GOLDCARD or i need to make a new one ?
please help ?

Rooted version ?
Hi,
Is anyone working on a rooted version of 2.09.405.8 ?
To be honest I'm not that worried about root but I guess as what I have on here is a rooted ROM I'll have to wait till I can put one on.
I had the OTA notification but it failed in Clockworkmod.
Excuse my ignorance but If I do load this ROM will it wipe everything? The OTA update says it will retain all your data but obviously doing it this way it's a bit different I guess?

HTC updates usually don't wipe but it's always recommended to backup.
Normally flashing roms from clockworkmod does not wipe unless you select wipe in the menu.
Anyway. Do a nandroid backup from clockworkmod before flashing just in case.

You can't apply the OTA to a rooted phone, you need to go back to stock and do it again. Easier to just use the 2.10.405.2 RUU and then root it again

[KERNEL] ClockworkMod compatible kernel and ROM Manager support

Ok, here's official clockworkmod and ROM Manager support
First, use odin or redbend_ua to flash this kernel:
http://koush.tandtgaming.com//samsung/epic/zImage2
Then, open up ROM Manager and flash recovery (choose Epic!).
All done!
Note, using reboot recovery or adb reboot recovery will take you to a "stock" recovery. Simply apply the update.zip on your SD card and clockworkmod will start up. (This method is better known as fakeflash)
Starting up recovery through ROM Manager will take you directly into clockworkmod.
How this works for those that want to develop on this further and create kernels that are ALSO clockworkmod compatible:
I extracted a initramfs from a stock recovery. I modified recovery.rc and fota.rc to allow adbd (and other small fixups). I modified default.prop to enable adbd and root shell. I replaced /res/keys with a test signed version to allow applying update.zip files.
Here is my epic initramfs:
http://github.com/koush/epic_initramfs
One can build clockwork directly into the kernel if they so choose. Simply take the update.zip on your SD card and pack those files into the initramfs as well. I chose not to do this because I am lazy.

Thank YOu..
Nice to see you in the Epic thread Koush..
We now feel at home.. Thank You..

Thank you Koush. Donation sent for your hard work. Please no Drinking and Driving unless you have autopilot! lol
If you happen to use
Quick Boot that will also bring you to stock recovery. You can use the same steps to get to clockwork recovery
Using the volume down key press and navigate to the
apply sdcard:update.zip and push the home button this will But it will bring you to clockwork recovery. AFTER it installs the UPDATE.ZIP that is located on your SDCARD. DO NOT DELETE THE UPDATE.ZIP After its finished you will now be presented with clockwork recovery
You can use the volume adjust keys to navigate the options and press the CAMERA BUTTON to select an option
note: pressing any of the bottom row keys seemsto shut off the screen and turn it back on. so do not push
Thanks for your awesome work as well as everyone else who worked on this with you.

So what happens if update.zip get overwritten? You can't get into the clockworkmod after that right?
What do I about the n00bNL version 32 clockwork mod that's currently on the phone?
Thanks!

Good question I am not sure of. I would imagine all you would have to do is boot into the phone normal and re-install recovery thru rom manager? or even power off and do the camera power down and power button? Ill check that one
as for getting this installed
Flash that kernel thats posted as directed and follow the instructions
Yes you can delete the update.zip and just power down the phone and use the three key method
interesting though is that you have to use the old KEY MAP METHOD of power H key and smilie etc etc
lol

Well what I did was remove the update zip off my sd card, flash the mixup kernel and restarted my phone. I then turned it off, pressed the 3 buttons and it took me back into cockwork recovery build 32 version
Afterwords, I reflashed the clockwork kernel, and installed clockwork via rom manager

Just push it back over again. Adb still works in stock recovery too now.

Just to make sure because I didn't see it stated anywhere, is this based on the kernel from DI07?

This kernal works great. i was having issues with the 1.2 overclock kernal with clockwork but now its all better. Lets the ROM's begin.

I get an error after I chooose samsung epic from rom manager...says error dloading the recovery??
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

I've never used Odin before, but according to the instructions. All I would need to load is the PIT file and the zImage from the first post then update it, correct? is the zImage a stock boot image since the clockwork update.zip isn't installed yet. Is this boot method different from n00bNL's version? I'm just trying to understand the boot process. Thanks.

To make my own "oneclick installer" could I just take noobnl's clockwork installer (version 32) and replace the zimage with the one posted here?

I don't think that website is working... tried this mrn.ing and just now tried again... >.

I also get the error downloading message

The kernel isnt even under the .tar format thus odin doesnt even recognize it...whats a guy to do?

[Q] Restoring stock firmware

I'm running a custom ICS rom with CWM recovery but want to revert to stock so I can sell my Transformer. Is there an easy way to flash back to stock in one step?

You should search the forum for NVFlash...

NVFlash is not necessary to return to stock ICS. Just download official Asus firmware from the asus site and flash it like you would a custom rom. It will return you to stock firmware and recovery.

+1 To above, that's all you need to do.

I might be wrong, but it is said by many that official firmware zip cannot be flashed by cwm recovery until it is repackged for cwm. Wolf just
published a new way to root/unroot/degrade rooted and un-rppted TF:

You can flash the stock firmware from Asus via CWM. It will unroot and restore stock recovery.

Is this your experience?

Is this true? I read some "back to stock" guides in the past and gave up as it never looked so simple.

Agreed I'm interested in this as well as I'm giving mine to my dad and I don't want to have to worry bout flashing it a lot for him.

Ive just downloaded firmware from asus site put it on sdcadd and in cwm i tried it to flash, but no success update aborted or something similarafter opening update package
Edit: do not forget to unzip the package downloaded from Asud site before flashing!
It worked like a charm. After flashing in cwm it restarts it update apps as after rom update and then you have pop up that firmware update is avaible, the same as with asus ota

i can confirm that this is the proper procedure (because i did it just seconds ago literally)
1. download the firmware from Asus (http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&s=16&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+TF101&os=32)
2. extract the zip in the zip.
3. copy the resulting zip file (the zip in the zip) on the sdcard (or micro sd if you are using roach's 3.2.0.1 like i was)
4. reboot in recovery, that is, shut down, then pwr + vol down until there is a prompt, then vol. up.
5. select apply update from sdcard, select choose zip, navigate to where you placed the zip file on your card
6. Flash it. (and cross fingers, never hurts)
7. normally it will work, then reboot the tablet using the reboot system now function
8. Once its rebooted, it will apply updates to application and a "warning/exclamation" sign will prompt you to install the firmware you just downloaded. install it.
9. once that is done, you will have reverted to stock firmware. leaving your transformer to feel like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eRd923m9go

After this is possible to see if transfomer was rooted or runned a custom rom? Might sound dumb, but i read some time ago (cant find where) about some "not so easy" procedures to return stock for warranty.

i can vouch for my TF being unrooted again. simply open ROM Manager and it should tell you right away that you need to be rooted.
an expert could confirm but im pretty sure that after installing ASUS's firmware all binaries themselves should be stock. after, you always have the option to factory reset the TF and that should clear any possible leftovers.

In step 8, what is the firmware I need to install? Has not the update do the install of the tf101 firmware?

the tf will install the firmware you just install "for real". its the best i can say, i cannot really explain why a real expert could. im just a guy who followed indications
but i know that te TF will detect the firmware you installed in recovery and re-install it for itself and this time it will completely re-stock and un-root your TF.
oh and about re-rooting, if you stocked the TF, you'll need to search the forums here as you'll need to apply the same rooting techniques for an unrooted TF. best way to find out if you don't know is to install rom manager from the market. it'll tell you right away if you are rooted or not.

[OTA]OTA_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2-1.53.401.2_release_258562

Good evening/morning all
Just grabbed this new OTA from my One S so i thought i would make an appearance... And before anyone asks, yes - I am working on a ROM
OTA_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2-1.53.401.2
Please note: This OTA takes you from 1.53.401.2 to 1.78.401.2
Change log from the updater service (rather vague):
System enhancment
Enjoy
P.S > Had no time to analyse the actual content but the OTA contains full firmware updates including HBoot & Radio.
Edit: Just noticed paul has done a repack of the base already.. may still come in handy for you devs out there

I knew you would come just like I asked for and others.
Thanks Lee.

woohoo !! about time you made an appearance !! I knew you was hanging around here somewhere
missed you since i left the sensation forums

I know this is probably a really stupid question but I'm going to ask anyway...
Can you actually install an OTA package on the phone somehow or is it just useful to take files out of it?
And the other question, my phone doesn't find any OTA updates anymore since I've 'tampered' with it so is there a way to make it find and install the OTA updates again?
Thanks

As long as you are using the correct stock ruu you can apply it via cwm recovery(unlock needed )... to restore full functionality its best to flash the stock RUU

The other thing is that when I try installing the stock RUU it's telling me it's for the wrong device or something like that, although it's definitelly the correct RUU.
Also, my phone is HTCDev unlocked but is still S-ON so if I install the OTA package usign CWM is it going to update the radio and the hboot (I thought it can't do that if you're S-ON)?
Thanks

you dont install it via CWM, you install it via the stock recovery.. of which you will first need to flash..

Ok, maybe I'm not getting this right but I'm talking about two separate things:
Issue 1. My understanding is that I can install the OTA zip package using ClockworkMod, is that correct?
Issue 2. The RUU package won't install on my phone:
i) I have restored via ClockworkMod the nandroid image of the stock ROM (image that I've taken straight after I unlocked the boot loader and flashed a custom recovery, but before I rooted the phone). Then, I flashed the stock recovery image using fastboot. So now my phone should be back to stock.
ii) I then tried to install RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.53.401.2_Radio_0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S.06L_release_251412_signed.exe
When I do this, the RUU goes through right up to the step where it says 'Updating signatures' and then it stops saying 'unknown error' and it leaves my phone on that screen with black background and white HTC logo. Then, I have to hard boot and the phone starts up fine but in the state it was before the RUU - not even the user data is missing. To me this means that for some reason it doesn't even try to flash the RUU onto the phone but it stops when checking the signatures - I just can't understand why this is happening...
Can you help?
Thanks

1. No you cannot flash anything official from HTC using CWM, you MUST use stock recovery. You can find stock recovery in the OTA zip file, It will be named recovery.img OR recovery_signed.img
2. Unknown error is hard to diagnose, Normally we get error codes which we can identify as to what the problem is.. Are you running the RUU in fastboot ?

Sorry for my ignorance, but how do I initiate the installation of the OTA zip package using the stock recovery? As I said, I can't actually get it 'over the air' but I've just downloaded the zip package from this thread...

ok put the package on your sd card.
boot into fastboot, flash the stock recovery using the command ''fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'' (or recovery_signed.img) (also no quotes)
when thats done, select recovery from fastboot using volume button..
When you get a red ! press volume UP and power button, That will take you into stock recovery
Then look for the option, install from sd card or something like that
select your OTA package and BOOM !!! job done
Reflash CWM and away you go

Damn... I had no idea that you can actually get into the menu of the stock recovery... It all makes sense now...

me neither till about 3 days ago
I might not seem like a noob,,,,,but deep down i am

I've tried that again and it actually breaks down when it gets to 'Checking Header...' and it exits with 'ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR". Maybe this is a bit more specific...

this is what i found for error 155
ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again.
Alternatively (in some cases) right click on the file and choose "Run as Administrator".
Or use the rom.zip -> PGXXIMG.zip flashing method.

I dont know if it will fail when flashing the rom.zip in CWM - usually you have to rename it to the model number and flash in fastboot, however you cant do this with S-ON

Download the latest version from Asus site.
Unzip the download file and you see another zipfile named US_epad-user-10.4.4.20.zip, copy this file to the root of your sd card (don't put it in any folder). Reboot your device, once device boot up, open up the notification and you should see the update, tab on this and it will update.

does not give me the option to install the 4.20.zip something still must be wrong

I encountered this error once. I was able to troubleshoot it, but I cannot remember very clearly what I did. It's probably because either 1) you have not unzipped the file (you need the zip file that's in the zip file you downloaded), 2) because there should be no spaces in the file name (and yet some have reported success when they renamed the file to contain a space where normally the underscore would be located; and 3) it should be located on the root of the microSD card-- no other location seems to work dependably.
If all three are OK, get back in here and well take the matter from there.

1- root you device
2- install Goomanager from the market and from the menu install open recovery script
3- power off and then boot to recovery (power + volume down)
4- once in in the recovery flash the update

Reformat your sdcard with fat32 and try again.

TWRP is custom recovery instead of stock default recovery come with your tf700. It uses to flash rom/kernel etc.. You need to unlock your device to use twrp. You are no where near this step yet. Do you plan to unlock your device?

OK i got it without having to root it or anything have to re name the file to a certain name... but what asus has posted on there site with an 11-7 date is actually from October 26 ......WTF Asus

Do you think that 2 weeks for QA testing of a new ROM release are too long or too short?
