manual update OTA

How to update the firmware 1.47.401.4 (Android 2.3.3, Sense 2.1) to 2.10.401.4 (Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.0):

1. We put out 4ext recovery RUU Saga HTC Europe 1.47.401.4 for recovery, which I post earlier - the link (who is European Stock firmware without mods and remote drainage applications - may also nice, but I have not tested)

2. Put 4ext recovery from me edited for posterity phot update - Link.

3. After installing the update phot device probably will not start, and restart again in rekaveri, do not panic, connect the device to flash mode, are thrown into the root of micro sd card file PG88IMG.zip - link, and turn off the machine.

4. Turn the key while holding down the volume to get into fastbut. The device will ask you to install update PG88IMG.zip, agree, setting out in two stages, during which the machine reboot once.

5. Voila: clap:, rut in place, the PCT speaker to place a new radio 3822.09.08.20_M, rekaveri 4ext 2.1.0 and of course, new eng hboot s-off 2.00.2002.

Shl. This is not the custom and practice ofitsialka, nothing is removed, even in the name of his information about the phone did not fit:)

Of course all of this setup could sharpen and simplify, but unfortunately or fortunately, in recent work a lot, to be honest, even not going to take, but curiosity won out: rolleyes:

Hello,

I just can't wait to update, I have done S-OFF with revloucionary method posted in this forum. Now we can root original rom with upgrade sense 3.0
[HTC Desire S] Tony Desire S:

[HTC Desire S] lethienov:
Still no update for Russian
[HTC Desire S] fallos:
No update in Estonia. I think it will next weekends....
[HTC Desire S] fallos:
And still no official unnouncment from HTC.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
will the NEW HBOOT found in this ota S-ON my device if i flash it via bootloader?

my current HBOOT is in my sig
[HTC Desire S] Menelay:
I'm sure as soon as we'll get offical announcement from HTC (about new ROM), this update will be available to everyone via FOTA. So, everything we can do it's just wait. Or manually install proxuser's variant.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
im already running proxusers version,

just wanted to know if i can safely extract the new hboot from the original ota and if i flash it will i lose my S-OFF?
[HTC Desire S] doremo:
i'm so surprise heard this news, can you post your phone's video after OTA upgrade?
[HTC Desire S] :
me and my dad have both the desire S, i have rooted and custom roms e.d. and my dad keeps it stock. But he hasn't received any message of updates, Just checked for updates a minute ago. He has an unbranded Desire S on stock rom (sense 2.1)
[HTC Desire S] QA5IS:
Nothing yet... i'm in uk, s-on, 1.28 on t-mobile

Keeping my fingers crossed it come's soon
[HTC Desire S] Menelay:
New ROM's distribution is just some kind of pilot mode now. After they will be sure everything is going ok (hope it will be soon enough) they will make an announcement about new ROM and make it available for everyone. So we all are waiting ;)
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Based on everything I've read on the internet about this new update:

This Sense 3.0 update to our beloved Desire S phone is a CARRIER update from Orange in the UK (as of now) for their CARRIER locked phones. So that means we, unbranded and other carrier locked phones, will not receive the update as we expect and want it.

Let's just hope that HTC will be following what Orange did, updating to Sense 3.0. Either they use that update too or create from a new one.

In the end, we just need to wait for HTC to release their own.
[HTC Desire S] TimMun:
If that was so, wouldn't the pulled roms be filled with Orange UK bloatware?

just a question
[HTC Desire S] merlin76:
I've got the update on Friday and from what I've seen so far I can only tell it's awesome, no issues at all. To make sure the OTA runs fine I've reverted back to 1.47 stock ROM and S-ON. Only stuff I missed was patched hosts file to remove ads, gps.conf for my location and my battery mod.

Today I've tried to unlock bootloader using http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ and although Desire S is not explicitly listed as a compatible device it worked fine. Bootloader shows "Unlocked", just flashed recovery and root and replaced the above files and all is working fine.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
I don't believe that there is already an OFFICIAL ROM for Sense 3.0 for the Desire S unless HTC itself says or releases so. (there are leaked ones, but for me, I need HTC themselves says there is one.)

Remember, this is an Over-The-Air update. Not a SHIPPED ROM. That means, you already have your CARRIER ROM installed on your phone as a base (yes, with bloatware). This just updates a few settings or things that changed it to Sense 3.0 and latest Android so to speak.
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
Just for the record I recieved the OTA on my unbranded, rooted and s-off desire s in the uk. All i did was flash the latest stock rooted rom, checked for updates and there it was.
[HTC Desire S] Bhargava28:
I contacted HTC and said " I have an unbranded HTC Desire S and it is at 2.3.3. Is 2.3.4 available because I've read many forums which indicate people have updated their phone to 2.3.4. There seems to be no available software update when I check. Please help me understand what updates unbranded HTC Phones recieve. Finally I've heard that some people have started to recieve 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 - Is this true and will I be able to update my phone soon to it? Thank you "

HTC responded with - " Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your HTC Desire S

I understand that you are currently experiencing difficulties with software updates.

The Android 2.3.4 update was only available for the HTC Sensation and is not possible for download on any other devices. Recently the Android 2.3.5 update has been released in the UK with HTC Sense 3.0 for HTC Desire S users. As with all updates for Android they are released in batches so don't worry if you do not receive the update right away.

I replied and said " Thank you for answering my question quickly, when do you think I will be able to update my HTC Desire S, Im in the UK and have received no update so far. Also how come HTC hasn't announced the update - I've checked the Facebook page and there has been no announcements."

HTC responded " Thank you for your email.

I would suggest waiting at least a fortnight if you do not receive the update in that time then please get back in contact with us. I do not know why the update hasn't been announced I only found out today that this update existed and was being released for the HTC Desire S.

I replied and said " Is it because I have an unbranded HTC Desire S? I've heard the update so far has been only for Orange users, can you confirm it's for everyone?

I am waiting for the reply.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
How ded he manage to get warranty if his phone was rooted when he returned it?
[HTC Desire S] QA5IS:
Well this sounds very promising... I'm trying not to get my hopes up but it's difficult not to!
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
Apologies as this will be entirely obvious to the experts, but -

After installing this "update", what effect would the "restore factory settings" command have on the device, i.e. would it roll back to the original ROM as shipped, or simply a "user settings reset" version of the new one ?

Thanks

Steve
[HTC Desire S] Menelay:
Because of this hboot is ENG Hboot it's installation on your mobile wasn't fully correct. You are right new hboot suppose to create new partition. But if everything works fine, just don't pay much attention to absence of this partition.
[HTC Desire S] click9666:
Hi I'm from Cambodia.The update is not available for my Desire S...any idea for this?

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
I stand corrected with the information below.

It seems from now, its for the UK. not CARRIER release.. So its just a matter of time before everyone else gets it.

Now I have a question, can the new HBOOT be S-OFFed?
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
but my cache partition has been halved to 150mb but no other partition?:confused:
[HTC Desire S] Menelay:
Idea is that this update is available only for users in UK (and even not for everyone there). When HTC begins to distribute it officially at every region you'll get it for sure.
[HTC Desire S] panfiluta:
Only for phone with UK region, or only for UK IP? Because with VPN...
[HTC Desire S] Mike Andrews:
Ive found that the update is checking the CID of the phone. I have a debranded vodafone Desire S but its CID does not match the numbers requested in the update. After removing the Asset Tag CID check from the update script and removing the firmware.zip and installing those files manually in a PG88IMG.zip file except the HBoot, I installed the leaked HBoot eng 2 from earlier post, I hame manged to get the update installed.

Hope this makes sense :-)
[HTC Desire S] click9666:
Do you know when is it going to be release to all region? Thanks you

I Hope All Desire S In The World Will Get This Update .. Branded And Unbranded !!! Waiting For This Update !!!!!! -Fingers Crossed-
[HTC Desire S] freedompie:
just wondering if i will be able to get the update since i bought my desire s unbranded and from Taiwan. Now that I'm s off and rooted and if i return to the closest stock ruu is RUU Saga hTC Asia WWE 1.48.707.1, am I able to receive to receive the update on that ruu if the update is officially announced and released worldwide?
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
Maybe. but as we have no real answer from htc:

If you want to coming back in RUU, and waiting... why not.
[HTC Desire S] alexander.kilian:
Has anyone seen a RUU for 2.10.401.4 yet? I am tired of waiting and do not want to go

the root way.

How long does it usually take until a RUU is available from HTC?

Alex
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
Actually, not in France.

if anyone has received in France, let us know ;)
[HTC Desire S] tasos12:
No luck with this OTA in Greece yet.

In fact I contacted HTC Greece and they say they have no clue for this....

You can flash this file in standard HTC recovery, by naming to update.zip

[HTC Desire S] alexander.kilian:
update.zip through recovery does not work

Unfortunately the stock recovery just says "invalid operation" and reboots. The update.zip is in the root of the sd card and called update.zip (and nothing else like update.zip.zip).

Is there a GoldCard requirement for this on the Desire S? Haven't found anything abot GoldCard in the forum.

Thnx

Alex
[HTC Desire S] petoulachi:
Does it work with an S-ON unbranded Desire S ?
[HTC Desire S] Menelay:
This OTA update is supposed for S-ON unbranded Desire S. But the problem is that this zip won't update your phone if you put it on sd card, you'll need several preparations and several manipulation for update with it manually.
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
If you can, please, post instructions how to update phone with this zip...

And, it is official from HTC for EU phones?

Thx

PS: I have S-ON and stock rom without root and with stock hboot... I dont want to void my warranty...
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
Check with your files browser, that it was not recognized as PG88IMG.zip.zip

It's a common error ;)

That's why you cannot install it ;(

Finally, you must waiting the update by FOTA
[HTC Desire S] QA5IS:
So am I right in saying you can manually install this update without having to 'S-OFF'? Seems you can from what i've been reading here. I don't want to s-off my desire s, mainly because I don't want the risk of getting it wrong!
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
In your case, if you're not S-off, you cannot.

Just waiting update
[HTC Desire S] alexander.kilian:
Yeah, installed that one together with the new radio, didn't want to wait for the official update.

Maybe I revert to stock when the RUU is available, in my opinion stock roms always seem to be a little more stable...

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Firstly welcome to the forums! :)

Its not imperative that you use the latest RIL files, as everything should work without them. But, its best to have the same RIL files to match your RADIO version.

I believe that your problem is that you need to mount the SYSTEM partition as READ/WRITE which you can do with root explorer - paying for root explorer is the easy option. Once you loaded the application at the top right hand corner is a R/W and Read Only toggle.

Otherwise you'll have to use adb to push the files in place.

Hey, my GF has a desire S, which I put S-off & Rooted, but still is on the stock shipped rom of Vodafone.

I see there is an OTA update available (Sense 3, android 2.3.5), but when I download and install it, phone reboots.. and it gets to a android man with a ! sign.... And it does not boot.

Have to pull battery, restart, and its booted again, but no update applied.

Manually tried to flash in 4EXT recovery too, but I get some weird error signs, assert failed, and status 7 error :(.

Why is this?

Or what should I do to apply the OTA update without changing ROM? Revert to s-on???

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
Which country?
[HTC Desire S] Unknownbomb:
Netherlands.. (Weird enough, system update downloaded the VODAFONE_UK version. To be precise:

OTA_Saga_Vodafone_UK_1.47.161.2-1.32.161.2_release_199898nvarkiguqj9crifp.zip

I'd expected Europe.. :P. But point remains, it fails (Read my previous post)

[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Guys, calm down, if you can't wait for it flash a custom rom there are as many out there.

@mariuck

If your not happy with your htc device, sell it an buy an iphone, but btw there's a reason why it's named jailbreak at iOS and just root at android.

For sure steve jobs where a corifee and yes he started with the whole smartphone deal, but atm android and iphone are really close and the big advantage of android is the possibility to costumize it like you need it ;)

And htc isn't the best company at hardware or hardware development, but they are able to build nice and reliable devices.

Also the app quality of htc is pretty good compared to other vendors.

And think about the begining of iphone4, how was it with the antennafaults at each device?

Also marketing should never be an reason to buy a device, but anyway me as linux user maybe think about this different than others.
