HTC system update

Logged into an At&T wifi yesterday and the phone offered an HTC system "update".
Having owned several HTC products and never seeing any sort of update from them for a device I owned, Ill admit i was a bit shocked. lol
Downloaded for a few mins, although I didnt see a file size.
Reboots, resets twice then boots. Both my Inspires updated to
Software Version
1.84.502.11
took about 5 mins total
Sorry If this was somewhere else, I searched and didn't see anything.
What'd they do to my phones?

This is the update from ATT that added hsupa

This tells you all .. update was pushed out back in April 29th.

The install doesn't work for me. Just shows an exclamation point and the android guy. I'm suspecting it's because I'm rooted and running TPC. Any ideas?

How do I get rid of the update notification?

Same thing with me shows exclamation point and the android guy for me to im also rooted i wonder if we can get the update being rooted. im tired of the notification also

Anyone get it to install with root? I just don't want it to screw up my root where i'd have to do it again.

The OTA update is mostly a collection of patches. These are very specific as to the files they are to patch. If you don't have the official AT&T ROM (or a very close approximation) then the update won't do anything.

there is the full ATT rom with the included patches and fixes and stuff in the development section. just dl the rom and flash it since you are already rooted
simple and stuff.
but also a lot of the newer roms are importing the fixes

Even with stock Rom? So my question is, if on rooted with stock Rom, and I try the update, will it screw anything up with the root?

It will not run, it will fail the process.

How long does it take to install after downloading?
I'm going on about 10 minutes of the green arrows on the black screen with the phone image under it. Don't think it should take this long should it?

K, thanks. Simple answer. Is there a way to disable that notification then?

Nevermind. Hung on the install but pulling the battery worked

Install this stock rooted Rom. It has the ota update in it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042

Update Available but failed

Checked my infuse to see if update was available. To my surprise it was, started download, everything fine and then it says update failed. Now my phone is stuck trying to download update. Any suggestions?

Proof?......

Interesting, I just tried to update and it just stalled, never said up to date. It always completes and says up-to-date .. now I have to wait 24hrs to try again lol what BS!

Just change the date.

He says proof but I just stated that my phone is stuck trying to download some update. BTW I never said it was gingerbread, since that's obviously what you thought I was referring to. The update said 8193kb and then after it downloaded that, it tried to update on a white screen and said failed. I have no reason to lie. I could care less, I just want my phone to stop force closing because that is what it has been doing for the last 30 minutes.

Most likely this was the pre-release package that was pushed some weeks ago. Sounds like the right size for it. The GB update should be about 100000kB or 100mB depending on how you wanna look at it.

Can you get into fastboot or sbf?

That's what I figured but I just came to this phone from an inspire(starting to regret) and i'm not to knowledgeable with the infuse yet. Thx btw.

I'm using ODIN right now to try to return to stock. Hopefully it works.
Update, i'm back to stock and I got rid of superuser. I may be taking the phone back. Thx for the responses.

Don't recall saying it was news. I think I was asking did anyone have a suggestion on how to get my phone outta this stuck mode/force close mode.

Ultimate unbrick.
when you ultimate unbrick you will always have a update available since you are running the previous version and a update was pushed.
so yeah ultimate unbrick then flash the community kernel if you would like giving you red CWM then just flash any other rom.

[Q] New OTA? Or am I just way behind somehow?

I've a rooted G2X that's still running 2.2. Just over an hour ago I got a "T-Mobile Update Service." notification. Surprisingly there's no talk of a fresh OTA here so I'm not really sure what's going on. Not that an OTA would work for me since I'm rooted, but I guess it's going to keep bugging me until I do something about it.

2.3.3 was all the rage about a month or so ago.

Well, sure, but all news says that T-mobile stopped doing OTAs some time ago (started late July, stopped August 10). So why on earth is my phone just getting it now? I even do a manual check every so often and never got it. I didn't do anything special today that I can recall.

you should update it. you dont have nothing to lose. ifd your still rooted it will unroot but then you can flash nvflash recovery and go back to any rooted roms you want

T-Mobile removed the 2.3.3 update from their servers long ago. If you are getting something else it is new most likely. You can do an OTA if you are rooted as long as you have not modified any system files other than adding su and superuser.apk to get root..

So what was the update?

What happens?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

Well, I let it update but of course it just booted into CWM instead of doing anything. I'm guessing I'd have to flash back to stock in order to apply any OTA. If someone tells me what to search for I can run logcat and see what it downloaded, but I didn't see anything obvious when I looked (and there's a lot of stuff in there).

I'm on froyo to and rooted but no clockwork mod recovery. I tried to check for an update and it said some kind of error i dont remember.

Check in the /cache directory for the zip file for tthe update. If you can, before you install it can you save a copy of the zip to a separate area on your sdcard and thn upload it to a file sharing site so others can download it? Once you install it, it gets deleted from the /cache directory but if you save it elsewhere those copies will be saved.

Yes, you need to be on stock recovery and your phone's system partition must be stock. LG stores some OTAs very differently than other vendors.
Do a backup of your phone first to preserve the OTA image. It might be in the cache but it might be elsewhere. If you wouldn't mind giving me a link to the system and cache images I can try to find the OTA and see what it is for.

I just got the 2.3.3 ota update about 2 weeks ago which i thought was real late also. I used to check for the update and i would always get an error too. i was rooted in stock froyo for tmobiles g2x (LG P999DW). I didnt have to re-root the phone and last night i just flashed clockworkmod recovery and flashed the 1.55ghz overclocking kernel on to the 2.3.3 that i got from the ota update.

Did you flash roms and then restore an old backup? That backup could have had the OTA on it and you did not notice it before. T-Mobile pulled the OTA months ago (was available less than two weeks). Doesn't seem likely it was pushed to you recently.

Trouble downloading new update

Hey guys I'm having trouble downloading the update (I know, shocking... who would want the update my issue is is that I first tried to download the update when my battery was below 35%. It said that there was an update available but I had to wait until I battery was above 35%. now that it is above 35%, when I click on the check for updates button, literally nothing happens. no dialogue no confirmation... nothing. I've already rebooted the phone and tried to clear the cache for the updater app. any suggestions? I know for Motorola phones there is a way to install the updates manually... anything like that for HTC? I'm not rooted or unlocked.

Set your date ahead 2 days and try again.

Why do you want the update. Honestly there's no reason to want it. YAY you lose root and probably can't get it again and furthermore you can get all the features the update gives in a rom.

Actually, as long as you were rooted and unlocked before, you're fine.

So I set the date forward 2 days, it discusses the update, then I got a dialog with a spinning circle saying "verifying update" with an "ok" button. I clicked the button and the dialog disappeared. Now I can't get it to reappear or download the update again. I keep setting the date forward two days and it says there's an update available but it never downloads.

So they can make threads asking how to root because they "made a mistake" and upgraded.

I wouldn't recommend updating yet. I was having a hell of a time getting TWRP to work properly to the point of destroying my sdcard forcing me to RUU back to stock. Until a Recovery fix or Root for 2.20 is found I wouldn't update.

Phone will not stay on

I have Verizon's thunderbolt. I have revolutionary boot and I was using liquid Mecha http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948065&page=1. Out of nowhere the phone has been having trouble staying on lately. Now when I try to boot up the phone right when it gets to the home screen and then I get phone service the phone then shuts it self off. I can get into recovery and be there all day no issues, however right when I try to get into the android system the phone just shuts off. Any ideas? My plan is to remove revolutionary and take the phone back to stock however I can not do this with the phone off.

Did you, by any chance, slow down the CPU speeds? This can cause this problem.
You may just have to reflash the ROM.

Which radios are you using? If you're using the leaked is radios, try changing them back to the last ota radio. I had this same issue with the leaks on mine with my testing on some stuff.

The radio you're "supposed" to use is the one that works best for you. Just like a Rom. I don't have any links on my phone, bit there is a thread on bamf forums with the radios... It's not too hard to find.

It's not a zip you install from recovery. Place it on the root of sd card. Boot to bootloader, fastboot. I would suggest being sure your battery has a good charge and do not interrupt the process in any way. Let it finish and tell you to reboot.

Nevermind right below when it calls the file PG05DIAG.zip the bottom 2 lines call is the correct PG05IMG.zip, however right below it, it says there is no IMG. I checked the zip and I have the IMG in there for the radio as well as mdm9k.
I know Im sounding dumb but this really is so frustrating to deal with and I do appreciate the help I have received so far. I just want this to be fixed so I can use my phone again.
