Did this really need it's own thread?

Not meaning to flame but there are threads showing you what you need to look for so this wasn't necessary
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldace:
Hello!

I'm using a HTC Desire with a the "Pre-rooted Stock Froyo" ROM by teppic74.

Today I've received an OTA update notification from HTC, which I haven't accepted yet because it would probably break my ROM (by the way, it seems like teppic didn't disable the OTA update notifications in this ROM).

The size of the update is 6.34 MB.

Has anyone else received the OTA update? Anyone knows what's updated?

EDIT: As I've read somewhere, it increases the software version number to 2.29.405.14 from 2.29.405.05
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Increases?

........
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldace:
Yes... increases... version number used to end in 05, with the update it would end in 14.

I don't know what changes in functionality this update is supposed to bring.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drizzline:
Hey i just received the system update actually its called "system enhancement 6.34 MB" :)

And i ofc clicked on yes, phone restards and then when the "package icon" aka the lets say progress bar starts it just stops and a "!" along with an android maskot appears... cant update, my phone is rooted tho...so, any suggestions or news to this update in general i would appreciate!

ps.i hope you get what i wanted to say :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
I've been seeing this in other forum when I googled it and looks like no one doesn't have any idea about what the update contains.. yet.

It's nice to see the good old Froyo still getting "enhancements".
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terepin:
Old? Sure. Good? Not by a long shot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
I only had Froyo for a couple of weeks before I rooted and flashed Gingerbread and never used Eclair sooo I'll take your word for it. Haha
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shankly1985:
If your using a custom RoM, you should never apply OTA updates.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vodoomoth:
@DroidZone: maybe citing the message just before yours isn't necessary? Just asking.

@shankly1985: you're not helping us who are dealing with this problem as I can pretty much certify we all know that: just read the original post and other comments.

I registered here to ask about this and maybe have an answer. The thing is I am NOT using a custom ROM. I am using the original HTC ROM that came with my Desire 14 months ago. BUT I have rooted the phone in anticipation of installing MIUI – I was desperately looking for a two-way recording of phone calls that never made it into MIUI. So I've installed ClockWorkMod as well as ROM Manager. I too have experienced exactly what @Drizzline describes. System update notification, phone restarting, exclamation icon that seems to be from ClockWorkMod and not from the OS.

My question is: how can I apply the system update, knowing that I have never installed a custom ROM on my device nor made any changes to the factory-installed – and subsequently updated – vendor-provided ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desiredr:
And if you're using a stock ROM, you shouldn't either.

I stupidly updated my Desire and

calendar stopped working properly (events disappeared; luckily, I can see from Google Calendar's web interface that they're all still there)

every now and then an error message appears:

None of the methods I found around Googling (clearing cache, factory reset) could fix this issue. Now I'm really pissed off and I don't know what to do, except waiting for another update from HTC.

"System enhancements"? Hah
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
@vodoomoth, Stop telling people what to do and what not to.. Who do you think you are, barging into a forum and being a pompous ass with your first post?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vodoomoth:
If telling that I think repeating a the whole post above might not be necessary when I reply with one line is telling people what to do and what not to do, then yes, I am a pompous ass. No, actually, I am a stupid arrogant pompous ass. But I didn't write the Netiquette, I just read it and it's pretty standard in forums. Sorry to be the one to remind you that there is no need to cite an entire message and reply with just one single word and a question mark!

I doubt you were talking about me telling shankly1985 that his "do not apply OTA updates on custom ROMs" was not helping. Oh yes, I am not the person who hasn't read the opening post where that concern is pretty obvious.

However, I don't see how my post is summed up as "barging into" a forum. I didn't know some behaviors were not allowed in first posts but only in later posts. Sorry for that again. I guess I should have not written a first post.

To other people, sorry for the off-topic.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Why don't you root and flash a custom ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desiredr:
Won't do it until my warranty expires.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
it doesn't make a difference, all you need to do to restore warranty is use a RUU....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
You can flash an RUU of 2.29.405 and return it back to the state it was before you updated. You can do this now to fix your issue, if you dont want to go the rooted way.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desiredr:
It actually does: imagine if my screen doesn't light up anymore. Then I would send my phone to repair. But I wouldn't be able to restore any RUU, since I wouldn't see anything and I couldn't be sure my phone was restored successfully or not.

Anyway, please, let's stay in topic... OTA update and its problems.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
"If you add a new appointment, and then delete this new appointment again, the calendar re-syncs and shows all your appointments again."

Check this for the discussion about it if you haven't already.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
If you screen died, all you'd have to do is boot fastboot, and watch the RUU process and your pc screen, so you stand corrected as you would know if it's restored.

And I don't really see what all the hype is about.. I bet it doesn't even do anything.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desiredr:
The Calendar problem fixed by itself. com.htc.bgp keeps crashing every time the Meteo service tries to sync.

No hype at all, let's just say I want a vanilla rom if it makes you happier :)

Please, let's stay in topic....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drizzline:
@Droidzone I don't see what the problem with "vodoomoth"s post is...we should all stay on topic and i totally support his 1st post as it describes exactly the problem i am having and hoping to get some help from this lovely community to solve it as my desire is also stock rom but it is rooted.

Not blaming you tho as it is your right to say what u want to anyone who you want.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldace:
My best guess would be that custom recoveries (which are installed for example when you root the stock ROM) are incompatible with OTA updates, but I'm not sure about this. Since I have a custom ROM I haven't actually tried to update, I've just dismissed the notification.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
If your intention is to get some help from experienced members of the community, you dont need to preach forum etiquette to senior members of the community who actually contribute a lot to giving something to it. XDA is a developer forum, and though we have a Q & A section where we have people answering each other, the forum is oriented towards promoting development. As you've pointed out, individual members have a right to do things the way they like. Whether I answer posts by quoting the OP or whether I use a profile pic/signature is no business of another guy, especially when the other person is a newcomer to the community.. There are reasons why n00bs (I rarely use the term, but it seems warranted in this instance) are not allowed to post in the development section where people give back something to the community, and this is one of them.

If you want people to respond to your help requests, the way to go about is not by antagonizing the very few people who actually care to give you a reply. As I said, we dont need a person who's barely been to the forum for a couple of days, giving sermons on forum etiquette. Ask your questions and stick to the topic, else you'll soon find yourself ignored. If the answer is not satisfactory, there's a more polite way to respond than to tell the respondent that he hasnt read the OP or telling him to stick to the topic (when the solution he offered might actually be the best one though you dont know it yet)

As for me, I'd have liked to help, but since I see that you're interested more in the way I dress rather than in what I have to say, I'll be giving you a wide berth to discuss more important things like etiquette between yourselves.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Well said Droidzone ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drizzline:
Hmm that might be but i think to remember i already updated OTA once after rooting the phone...i am not 100% sure but i strongly think i did. But thanks!

@droidzone i am not looking to pick a fight or anything, i appreciate what you give to the community i just need some help to solve this problem. The guy (vodoomoth) described the exact problem i am having and i am just hoping to get some help. Nothing more. Thanks

Well this is what the 6.34 MB contains: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=818966&d=1324060166

It looks like almost every single file gets a minor binary patch. :eek:

The largest patches seem to be for:

HtcTwitter

Mms

Browser

Stock

com.htc.StockWidget

Settings

SettingsProvider

Not sure if there is a correlation, but this is where I would start looking. :D

You can grab the original update zip file (OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.14-2.29.405.5_release_224762nayurnz5rhts3hxk.zip) attached,

or by using Dr_Death's Fota Fetcher tool like I did. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786352

And dig it through for yourself, if you are so adventurous.

What is that app which shows battery graph?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Taraen:
That no app, it's built in. Settings -> Phone info (or however it's called in english android) -> Battery usage

You will get a little graph at the top of your screen and a list of apps, or system components with a percentage in battery drain. (= 2nd screenshot)

Tapping on the graph you will get the screen shown in the first screenshot.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Hey can any1 confirm if this is working? O.o

EDIT: Btw im using this for i9003, not my old phone. Its currently charging
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
you can be a tester if you like. after fully charging, make a bat.bin backup and keep it ready for when you install a custom rom or restore. just follow the steps and see if I'm the only one getting good results from it...

and thanks in advance for helping test :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Yea no prob i just got it once its finished charging I'll root it and start testing your method :D

EDIT: Also, should i run abt 2-3 battery cycles when my phone is out of the box? If so it may take a while for me to test it
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
ahh, yes, a totally brand new phone will need a few charge/discharge cycles to calibrate the battery first :p

since I don't know if the batterystats.bin file that I have calibrated can be used universally on all i9003, I'm choosing to assume each one is personalized to a person's phone. someone that knows better can correct me if I'm wrong...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] drajax:
Plz attach yr copy of the battery bin file, mine shows about 59kb :o tried twice with same results!

☞★sent from drajax's Galaxy SL!!! *♂ツ
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
ok, for those willing to test (at your own risk!), the first post is now updated with my 3.2kb bat.bin file for testing :D

@ bscraze, you're welcome to test now if you like as well, even before your own has been first calibrated :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Im almost thru my first cycle its at 4% now :D. Maybe when i charge to full i'll use your batt stats? You think it will work? I have to charge to full without break/usage right? I hope not :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
do whatever you like until it's charged. replace the file after that.

"charging full without a break"? you mean you can't let the phone charge for 3-4 hours? as long as you're not playing a demanding game or something, there should be no problem using the phone while it's on and charging without it overheating the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] razino:
which method is more accurate, cwm or root explorer? cwm seem easier...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
depends on your skill. I can't create a cwm flashable file yet, and for me, opening my sd card, select copy, navigate to data using root explore and replace is easiest

if someone wants to make it flashable, be my guest :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Hmmm i forgot to make a backup and i alrdy am on custom rom+custom kernel. Would it be fine if i used your battstats?

Sent from my i9003 powered by Poseidon's Rom + UC kernel
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
you may have forgotten to make a backup before, but it never hurts to start now. make a backup, then you can try swapping my battstats. make sure you do it at 100% charge, just after removing the charger, and let me know if your battery is still stable and nothing else is affected. that will confirm that nothing phone specific is stored in the file, and it'll work on any phone at 100% charge for an instant coarse calibration :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mustali:
i am on jp_miui v9.

i recently wiped battery stats from recovery-advanced menu.

the size of batterystats.bin file in data/system is 172.26 KB.....

is it normal?? can i try replacing it with your file at 100% charge?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
that 172 kb means there's a lot of excess data that's not needed. sure, go ahead and replace it at 100% and your battery should remain fairly stable.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] JoyMoro:
mine is 650kb today. :)

i guess right time try this.

as i understand, i must replace as as its charged to100. and not before .

Sent from my GT-I9003
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] JoyMoro:
last night i replaced file with 3 kb file on my phone.

today its already 400kb . i guess its because battery monitor is on. i m using jp9 MIUI.

Sent from my GT-I9003
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
I'll edit my OP now. don't use this on miui r cm7,just stock GB roms to be sure. I know miui does things different, so until I get a stable miui version, you're stuck just wiping, sorry :p
[HTC Wildfire S] andreasy:
Sorry for asking this but I come from Desire HD and things seem more straight forward there in regards to root and custom roms.

I see that WFS is rootable but then S-OFF has not been broken yet. What's the difference with XTC-Clip then?

From what I understood, the only way to root WFS is XTC-CLIP which allows you to have root access, install custom ROM and recovery but it will not allow you to install radio and kernel? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

My main requirement is to be able to install apps on sd and use apps like titanium backup to freeze/remove bloatware. What do I need for this?

I see that I can upgrade to latest 2.3.5 since it's not available for my region. If I do so, will it still be rootable or I will lose this and then need to downgrade like with DHD?

Again I apologise for asking all these but you see I follow a complete forum on DesireHD and I don't have time reading here as well. I want to complete this as fast as possible for my wife.

EDIT: Oh now I see, XTC-Clip is hardware. So apart from using this, WFS is non-rootable unless S-Off is achieved?
[HTC Wildfire S] nowhat?:
If you make your phone s-off with the XTC clip you can root your phone or flash anything you want..

You have to be s-off to remove bloatware by HTC.

You can upgrade to 2.3.5 and it will still be rootable if you s-off it..
[HTC Wildfire S] andreasy:
Thanks. However, I'll need to buy that clip which I don't intend to right now so for me, it's not rootable until S-OFF is managed. Correct?
[HTC Wildfire S] nowhat?:
But there's a temproot http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1296916 here..

You can find a shop near you that has the clip and unlock it.

Hi, I have a dell streak with build 12903 and a firmware of 2.2 and I wanna root it I came across 2 rooting methods. One is using superoneclick and the superuser.zip. And I am actually curious on which one I should use on rooting my device so can anyone tell me which method should I use? Tks alot.:)

Ok tks but if I would to use this method, will my device's touch screen capacity buttons keep flashing non stop?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
The root method has nothing to do with the capacitive lights flashing, that usually indicates mismatched baseband and ROM.

Can't you just use GingerBreak to root stock 2.2?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

Just install it like any other app and follow the instructions ;)

Much easier than messing around with SuperOneClick etc. Most of the "other" rooting methods didn't work for me
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Installing StreakMod Recovery and flashing Superuser.zip works 100% of the time, regardless of ROM. That is why it is the recommended method of rooting the Dell Streak.

Gingerbreak won't work if you have an AT&T ROM since AT&T ROMs disable sideloading. Thus you're required to connect the Streak to the PC and either send the APK to the Streak using the Sideload Wonder Machine or use ADB from the command line to push the APK to the phone. If you have to connect the Streak to the PC anyway, you might as well use the recommended method and get it done without having to worry about whether your ROM can actually run Gingerbreak.

Superoneclick does not work on every ROM either, I believe due to the exploit that allowed that rooting method to work being patched. So again, run the recommended method. Besides, if you rely on one-click methods, how are you supposed to learn ANYTHING about your device?
