I need some help installing an OTA

Hi there, i have a non rooted desire s with s-on my rom number is 1.36.415.6 there is a small OTA for this rom that updates it to 1.47.415.1 for some reason every time i search for the update my phone says that there are no updates for your phone.
i have the update as a .zip file so what do i do to install it?

is your phone rooted with clockworkmod recovery? If so you can boot into recovery and select install zip from sd card. Browse to the file and install. You can boot into recovery through rom manager.

thanks for the reply, i don't have root & and the other method didn't work.

Have you tried pushing via adb? Your best bet if you really want it is to factory reset.

so what will happen after i do a factory reset?

i don't understand how you can install a zip file without booting recovery.

As dan-fish said, have you tried the "install .zip from sd card" option in CWM recovery & manually selecting the .zip file?

my Desire S is a European version and i have flashed the official middle east rom using a gold card, so i think that the IMEI doesn't match with the rom that's why HTC aren't pushing the update to my device!

If your phone was branded you'll probably not receive it at all. The Official update of Froyo 2.2 for the Desire was rolled out months before I got it because Orange UK were faffing about blocking all the service they wanted me to pay for that others got for nothing! S-off and get a rooted rom, your much better off.

my device is unbranded

dear sinanharb i think you cant install your zip ,
i have this problem since 2 week, just chek for update everyday you will recive your update , its connection error on htc server.

[Q] Need help i got problem installing recovery

Hi guys i'm been following tis "guide to Installing S-off, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on [03/AUG/11](noobproof)Thread" I was at step 2, after i hboot my phone there wasnt any update for me to select. i had try placing the .img file, .img file together with the PG58IMG.zip file and just the PG58IMG.zip file alone. i also try using another sdcard but all of tis fail. my phone was s off.. Pls help.. thank alot....

So you have S-OFF and can boot into recovery using vol+ / power? You already have PG58IMG.zip on your SD card, and when you get into recovery it scans the card looking for PG58IMG.zip? Does it them ask you if you want to flash this update?
Please describe what happens.

You sure its on your as card and not in a file somewhere? On your as card? that could be a reason. If I were you I would just download 4ext updater apk from my signature and you can install recovery with one click.

Maybe you had a bad download. Did you check the MD5 sum? Or try downloading the file from another source.

I had the same problem, I fixed it by running the revolutionary script on my computer again while connecting my phone in HTC sync mode and when revolutionary asks to install revocery just type y and then press enter and let it install recovery for you then you can root and update the recovery through rom manager after rooting.

FML.. my phone bricked.. i turn off my phone wen is connected to my pc and i unplug it.. after tat i try to turn it on.. it bricked.. i try to charge it totally no respond.. is at htc services centre now.. hope i get it back alive.. i stop rootin at recovery stage.. Thank alot for all ur help guys..

hi rddocke the rom u usin is exactly the rom which inspire mi to rootin.. haha.. is there a guide for a noob like mi to follow? minus the risk of bricking it.. cos it had being bricked once for mi i seriously dun tink it brick due to rootin issue..

No, there's no easy way for this. Everyone took the risk, you should follow the instructions word by word. I have a feeling that your .zip was renamed wrongly.

PG58IMG.zip is tis file name correctly?

[Q] HELP!!! HTC sensation bricdked!

I was trying to update to Android Revolution HD 3.6.13 and in the process after installing PG58IMG the phone keeps restarting on bootloading htc screen. When I tried to access the boatloader I found Revolutionary recovery v5.0.0.8 is only there. Factory reset is also not working.

you can bootloader as well
to use cmd go into bootloader(screen when hold vol - + power) then just click power 1 time
then typin cmd: [command] adb push your-rom.zip /sdcard
note that the rom must be in same folder as adb
or use the flash command with adb wich im very sorry for that i forgot

[Q]

So I realize I did something stupid and I'm hoping I can fix it. I was in the process of rooting and installing a new ROM on my brothers phone. I made it S-off, and I didn't want clockwork recovery so I just skipped that. I updated the firmware so I can put an ICS ROM on it and now it's stuck in a bootloop I would imagine because there is no recovery on there. Can I fix this somehow? How do I install a Recovery when I don't have a recovery?
Thanks

you can install recovery from bootloader/fastboot and then rom from the recovery
here follow the post #2 from this guide to do that

What about download mode aka odin mode

download mode is not required for HTC phones.. we can flash stuff from bootloader
to go to bootloader
power off phone then remove battery ,reinsert it ..then hold power + volume down button ..will take you to bootloader ..there you can flash the recovery ..and a lot

So I downloaded the pg58img file and put it on the root of my SD card. went into bootloader and it saw the file but for some reason didn't give me the option to install anything. Any idea why or what I did wrong?

Just need to flash a recovery; preferably 4ext. (only step 2 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345)
Then nandroid backup from recovery (main menu of 4ext > Backup | Restore > Backup)
Then put an ICS ROM on SD Card using the Toggle USB Storage" option (main menu of 4ext > Toggle USB Storage)
Then format all partitions except SD Card from recovery (main menu of 4ext > Format | Wipe > Format all partitions (except SD Card) )
Then flash the ICS ROM from the recovery (main menu of 4ext > Install zip > Choose zip from SD Card).
Simple as that.

[Q] howto new boolloader

Hi all
new to this...so probably a stupid question !!!
I'm using a TF300TG with bootloader WW_v10.6.2.10.
On asus site, I see a booloader upgrade WW_v10.6.2.11 which is a zip file
How do I do the upgrade ?
Installing the zip within TWRP or else

I'm not familiar with TF300tg bootloader versions, but I would recommend flashing the new stock via Fastboot so you can confirm it is working to reinstall TWRP.

HI
Thks for yr suggestion
I have discovered another way to solve my problem without the need to reisntall stock rom
you simply need to put the bootloader zip file on top of an external SD.
Boot yr TG and hotplug the SD.
As soon yr SD is detected, there is a notification message saying an update file is sitting there... clicking on it launches the update process....:laugh:
This method works with any firmware update
