Did you uninstall/remove any bloatware under previous root?

If you don't have the bloatware installed, the OTA can fail.
[HTC Rezound] timothydye79:
This worked Perfectly for me! TiBa is doing its thing right now. I bought my Rezound lastnight in which the clerk was so happy to tell me about the software upgrade that it just got, got home unlocked the bootloader, and after following the steps above had no problem gaining full root!
[HTC Rezound] TechDragon:
Hey, there's some good info in this thread, but unfortunately I have a few questions that I can't seem to find answers to, hopefully someone here can help me out.

MY basic problem is this: I unlocked, rooted, and installed a custom recovery (Amon Ra) before the OTA, and now it keeps auto-updating every 8-12 hours even though I tried to defer it to next month. Every time it slips past me I end up with broken WiFi and have to restore from the most recent nandroid, and I'm getting tired of having to restore at least once a day.

I'd like to just run the update and then re-unlock and re-root (I have OTA Rootkeeper already installed) and re-locking/temp unrooting should be simple enough, but when I tried flashing the stock recovery it ended up returning my entire phone back to the initial state as well as wiping my SD card, as if I had just taken it out of the box. Thankfully I was able to reflash Amon Ra and restore from a backup (again).

Do I have to do all 3 (relock, unroot, & Stock Recovery) to get the OTA to run? And if I do that, will I have to reinstall everything manually or will I be able to restore from a nandroid backup?

Clarifications or even just a link to someplace with clear answers to my questions would be hugely appreciated!
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
To do the OTA, you'll need to re-lock and put stock recovery on to keep from failing update. Be sure to make app and settings backup first with TiBa or some equivalent.

Once backed up and back to stock, update via OTA (will break root), unlock bootloader (will wipe data), flash custom recovery, re-root, restore backups. It'll be a pain, but it works.

Nandroid backup restore *may* work to restore data partition, but no guarantees.
[HTC Rezound] TechDragon:
Couldn't sleep so I decided to bite the bullet and take care of the upgrade, and thanks to your advice it was pretty much painless! Hopefully this means Big Red will stop trying to lobotomize my phone every few hours in the name of 'progress'!
[HTC Rezound] talkingblob:
ok so I've flashed stock recovery, re-locked, and flashed the ruu and now when I go to check for the update it says none is there. I checked the software number and apparently its 2.01.605.11 which I'm pretty sure means that the phone has updated. Can anyone tell me how to check if my phone really is updated or not, because I'm tired of vzw harassing me about it. I'm fairly certain that I'm not updated and that the software number is a result of the ruu.exe that I used (I got it from a different thread because I couldnt get the one that was orignally provided to work). Also, if i'm not updated I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me how to apply the update because it seems I cant do the ota.

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] newdad28:
I've been oblivious to the OTA till yesterday when I had a popup on my Rezound. I hit ok without thinking about it really, but it didn't update and re-pops up every few hours since then.

My buddy rooted my phone for me (don't know exactly what he did). I've gone through this thread but am notoriously slow technologically. I tend to do better with a very specific list of instructions for each step - does anyone know if that's been created for this? I haven't found it if it does exist. Any help is appreciated - thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
What is your radio and hboot version?
[HTC Rezound] Droidneedzsence:
i did the ota and am trying to install an ics rom to play with but the ones that are listed dont fully install. when it comes to updating the kernel in automation it says that its an older version and it says press power to restart. i messed up earlier and it took me an hour and a half to find a replacement rom for the stock ota version ( I forgot to make a nandroid backup and never having used anything but cwmrecovery i wiped everything including system and got stuck in a perplexing situation where only HTC logo would pop up) after fixing it all i still want to have ics, but i need a copy that is accepting of the ota script that i cant get rid of. anyone that can help or walk me through it id appreciate it. coming back to droid after a prolonged stay in the iphone community... my bad. lost more than i care to share but i will do what i can to help the community.
[HTC Rezound] talkingblob:
I have no idea how to check the radio version. hboot is 2.11.0000
[HTC Rezound] dishwater63:
I just got a Rezound this past weekend and I'm really looking forward to rooting it. However, when I received the phone from Verizon it already had the latest OTA. Everything I've seen in this thread thus far is for people who already had root, lost it via the OTA, and are now trying to re-root.

My question is, where do I start? Do I just unlock the bootloader then flash Amon Ra? Do I still do the One Click Root?

Any help would be much appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
Unlock the bootloader through HTC-Dev first. The next step would just be about preference of how to do it, but Amon Ra is the easiest route to gaining root, in my opinion, after having the latest update.

[HTC Rezound] dishwater63:
Thanks!

Gonna try and root it now.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
You are updated then! :D
[HTC Rezound] dishwater63:
Ok, so I got root via RA recovery (which is awesome by the way, thanks to this thread), but I can't seem to freeze any apps with Titanium Backup. It'll just sit there with the "freezing..." notification.

Any thoughts?
[HTC Rezound] talkingblob:
Not sure how that happened (I guess it was the ruu i used), but sounds good! time to re-unlock and re-root :D
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
Maybe do a reboot first? I just label all of the Apps I want to freeze and then run a batch to freeze them all at once.
[HTC Rezound] dishwater63:
Yeah, that's what I did in the end, ran a script.

Thanks for everybody's help!
[HTC Rezound] engsoccerfan:
Also, for all the nubs out there like me. You just need to follow the last couple of steps. I wasn't rooted before and I flashed Amon Ra Recovery, installed su and superuser and was good to go.
[HTC Rezound] NickDVS:
I show that I am on the 2.01.605.11, but my baseband version is still the 0.95.00.1017_2r. Did this not get updated to the .1018_3r that is shown in some screen shots?
[Epic 4G General] Dfroelich:
Before flashing CM7 7.2 a couple weeks ago, I used ROM manager to backup my current state, and it worked fine, no problems. Once I had CM7 in, I wanted to backup again, but it gets stuck at about 20% across the progress bar. There is no scrolling yellow text. (Just the white carton with the yellow arrow jumping out towards the green robot and the 20% filled progress bar.)

I waited until ROM manager auto-updated from the market, and tried again today. It stalls in about the same spot.

Any ideas on what to try?

My SD card has 4.5GB free, and my previous backups were around 300MB.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
You did not install clockwork in ROM Manager did you? You can't use a BML clockwork on an MTD ROM. You are supposed to hit menu in ROM manager, choose manual flash and pick Epic-MTD and Clockwork 3.xxx.
[Epic 4G General] Dfroelich:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427645

I followed the seemingly straight forward instructions at that page.

Do i uninstall rom manager for a mtd compatible version? Or can i just follow the steps you mentioned just now to fix it?
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Just follow the steps that he said and rom manager will work...
[Epic 4G General] Dfroelich:
I followed those steps ,and it said: Rom manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation.

I then attempted to backup the rom and got stuck at the same spot.

I have let it sit there earlier today for 10 minutes. That should be long enough for some progress ,correct?
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Yeah it should be done with the backup in that amount of time... save yourself some headaches and just boot into cwm on your own... rom manager can be flakey for some people...
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Your SD card might be having issues. Make sure you have enough room for a backup...like 1GB. And if that is not the case back it up and reformat it. Then restore and try another backup.
[Epic 4G General] Dfroelich:
Thank you, flastnoles11. That did the trick! I tried booting into recovery from ROM manager, but got stuck at the same screen as before. Manually booting into clockwork, and backup from there worked perfectly.

kennyglass123: I had plenty of space, but was thinking the same thing that the card may need formatting. I was quite happy to not need to backup and rewrite 26gb.

Thanks to both of you.

Can you get into download mode to Odin back to stock?
[Epic 4G General] Gharo:
I cant get into download mode, i tried pressing the volume down + Home an power button but nothing happens (Samsung Galaxy Fit)
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Download mode is press and hold the 1 key on the keyboard then add pressing and holding the power button. If that don't bring up download mode then it is really bricked. You can repeat the process trying popping the battery in and out.
[Epic 4G General] Gharo:
I think its bricked because i cant get it into the download mode or power it on will send it to a service centre an play dumb
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
You can do that or try popping the battery in and out and then try to get into download mode or try with the battery out and as soon as you connect it to the computer quickly try to get into download mode.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mallinj:
I am so sick of MTP instead of Mass Storage Mode. I run Linux Mint and it's simply painful to try to get MTP working properly like Mass Storage Mode did in GB. Please, ROM devs, answer my prayers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
when you can add a sd card to the phone, you will have your mass storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I realize people don't like change, and want to stick with UMS, but you would have to pretty much crush the awesome single partition storage of the GN to get UMS...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GoZhU:
Just dont understand why most people are aways want SOME MORE STOREGE, how many stuff you gonna put in your device? A thousand songs or pics?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
With UMS enabled, they'd theoretically have lower storage than sticking with MTP. There would have to be at least 2 partitions that would mean files couldn't span across them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
I use wifi file explorer pro. Real easy and just as effective as having mass storage. Was bummed as far as me not being able to connect and drag/drop but when i found this app its just as good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frogskins:
I can't for the life of me understand this complaint. I have no issues using MTP either in Linux or Win7. Do partition the space up would only bring about all the issues with inadequate space the Nexus One encountered.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidmoore:
I don't know if it's a MTP thing, but I'm having a hell of a time copying .mkv files to the phone. I can FTP to my Thinkpad Slate at 3MB/s via wifi, the GNex capps out at 400KB/s. I've tried to connect the phone via USB to my desktop and just drag and drop and the progress bar doesn't even move. This is driving me insane.

I'm using the latest GummyNex 0.6.6.

If I recall correctly, when I was using Android Revolution 2.1.2, it was copying at 2MB/s via wifi FTP. I guess I need to look into this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Tried adbfs?

Looks like it solves your needs without introducing the troubles of mass storage mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegios:
I am using SAMBA...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clancy_s:
airdroid also works well (ubuntu 10.04 and 11.10 on different machines, also better than mtp on vista for me)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] somnambulator:
it's been 8 hours and my music is still copying to my phone. MTP is completely unacceptable. it's already told me i had to skip like 30 songs before i hit "skip this message" 2 hours ago. i'm copying ~25 GB of music over and half of that is .ogg which is not natively recognized by MTP. I could have copied the 25GB onto my thunderbolt 10 times over already. I dont care what the reasoning, requirement, or intent was to remove mass storage, but it was not work it. watching my files copy at like 400 k/s to a phone plugged in with a USB 2.0 cable makes me want to return the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Really? I use windows media player to sync my music and it flies. Way faster than my nexus one did. It takes about 1-3 seconds per track.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Drag and drop the files onto the folder icon. Don't open the folder itself and then copy into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dev/null/:
My problem with MTP is compatibility. Hardly anything recognizes MTP and knows what to do with it besides my PC. Things I used to connect to via USB to transfer files or backup while on the go just don't work with the nexus. So instead of having an all around portable storage device in my phone I now have to carry other devices to perform those tasks, might not sound like a big deal but its just nicer being able to have that ability in one device. MTP may be great for some but not for everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clancy_s:
Agreed - my primary OS is linux, I can make mtp work kinda but it's poor and slow.

However enabling UMS would require repartitioning the GN and afaik no one's done it or said they plan on doing it.

Most people find wireless transfer much more satisfactory for this phone - I've only used airdroid but others have set up their own wireless ftp server. There are probably other apps that do it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2086469:
is it an app on the phone or computer (windows/linux)?

thanks :)
[Defy General] zeb1:
I had been led to believe that you could not go back to 2.3.4 from 2.3.6. After the problems with my sms contacts here I decided to try and flash a different ROM, first CM7.2 with fixes by shark107 got stuck on the red M logo at the boot screen, tried reflashing and clearing everything. Couldn't sort it so went to recover to MS2Ginger Lite. Accidentally selected the backup for the stock ROM on the 2.3.4 and to my surprise recovered and seems to be working just fine.

Have I entirely misunderstood the concept of not being able to go back from 2.3.6 or is this a little unusual?
[Defy General] farsight73:
2.3.6 can not downgrade only if you flash the full sbf file.

Sent from my awesome Moto Defy: Rooted Gingerbread 2.3.6 - XDA Premium
[Defy General] zeb1:
Right, so I flashed MS2Ginger Lite 2.0 for Defy+. This included flashing the "fixed" sbf supplied by walter79. In Settings>About Phone it then showed Android 2.3.6 instead of 2.3.4 which is what was on it when I got it. I then had troubles with the contacts and SMS so tried flashing another ROM (CM7.2 fixed for Defy+). This got stuck in a boot loop so I went to restore back to Ginger Lite but mistakenly selected my original ROM nandroid.

On another note I have now flashed MS2Ginger 2.1 deblur for Defy+ (working just fine) and Settings>About Phone is now showing Android 2.3.4 and Model Number as MB525 NOT MB526 as it should be????

I've obviously got a lot to learn about all this Android lark. I'm a carpenter so I'm much more used to fixing things by hitting them with a big hammer, I doubt this will help my situation at the moment though.

[HTC Titan] black_falcon90:
Hello everyone,

I know it's too soon to ask such a question, but it came to my mind that day and I have this friend who's a developer, he told me that he doesn't think that the 2nd generation windows phone, such as the Titan and the Lumia 800 will run windows phone 8 "Apollo".. So can anyone confirm this or is it just a wild guess from his side? I didn't get to talk to him that much but he based his expectations on the hardware capabilities for these 2nd generation devices including the processor and RAM specifications.

Any ideas ?
[HTC Titan] uncled1023:
Seeing as the 1st Gen phones are still getting updates, i wouldn't be surprised if even 1st gen get Apollo. One of Microsoft's big pushes was that their phones would be supported through updates for 2 years.
[HTC Titan] Strike_Eagle:
I don't see why not.

Apollo is rumored to be the next big update ( like Mango) for Windows Phone.

But first, all we heading right now is "Tango" version (like No-Do, a major update but not a big one)

So it is, the new Sense UI 4.0 has apparently been leaked to a select few, right before the HTC Ville release next month I guess, and for all you Sense fans, here's where you can let your imagination run wild.

Basically, just write what you think the 4.0 will bring to our phones, will it be an improvement or not and in what way.

(Sense 4A is a light version of sense, no 3D effects and plenty of other small things missing from the full Sense.)

With guest mode you can really show off your phone like a "barista" :D:p

It also has the ability to hide your widgets when you activate. (E.g people widget)
