It'll give red triangle if you got booted to stock recovery.

The first thing is you cannot install OTA through CWM & Second is you'll need pure stock recovery for this.

I just pulled the recovery.img file from the OTA update file & flashed it in my cell. :)

If you removed any system app, the update will fail. You'll need to reinstall them to install OTA.
[Desire 816 General] Himangshu_kashyap:
Yahooo it works!!

HEY Buddy .... :)

i was on twrp recovery ..

after that i installed your stock indian recovery and initiated the OTA update and Voila!!!

yay

the update got installed...

Thanks a ton bro!!

You rock!!;)

vibration not working after cwm update installed

When I installed twrp update vibration was working and now I installed cwm update and vibration only works when the boot logo appears . Also I didn't installed stock Indian Rom as it shows triangle only. Mine is still cwm. Please help. And thanks in advance.
[Desire 816 General] jacktackle:
work beautifully with philz recovery.

will update on the whats working and whats not working.

PS: mine is Desire 816N middle east version.

the only thing doesnt works for me is the SMS. rest all is fine even OTG, vibrations all ok.
[Desire 816 General] vbrsekhar:
I did try those tricks but with no luck. MY phone is 816W A5_DUG UAE version but with jacktackle's sense6 backup on it. Not sure why I am getting md5 mismatch errors. I tried with all available recoveries but in vain.

I am jealous of the fact that you could install jithumons rom and I cannot despite of me being on your backup rom :(

Update: I used the TWRP backup that Jithumon has provided and it worked like a charm. Thanks buddies. Great work.
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Try factory resetting your cell...

thankyou bro...for testing ... :)
[Desire 816 General] jacktackle:
Sekhar, you are not reading carefully :P i said works error less with philz touch recovery. flash it from adb its in 816 original android development forum. and if still you are getting md5 error, the only reason is, your download is having a crack. download it from your mobile. even i got it cracked 3 times at 99% on computer.

hope you will be on the Rom by noon at least :)

PS: the rom is not showing any superuser but somehow its rooted and root aps are working. strange! but the root have issues with xpose frameworks. it's not updating the frameworks have to re-root it. but those who like to stay on the stock, this is the best backup.

BTW, How you got the chinese 816W version when the middle east is supplied with 816N by HTC.

You are using Indian version na?[/QUOTE]

Yes am using Indian version
[Desire 816 General] SivasankarC:
Hey Bro, Siva again...... with a issue.......

I was using your twrp backup rite, now to install the OTA update....

I have installed the stock " recovery.img " file....

when i try to update OTA... it displays red triangle and reboots.....

So how to resolve the issue.......
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Use the new recovery image posted in the first page or use my updated CWM backup. :)
[Desire 816 General] SivasankarC:
jithu, I have used this new recovery image.... ( recovery_India_Stock.img )

after that, when I reboot , entered settings and tried updating....

mobile reboots and it stops in red triangle.....

do I need to install CWM after I flash it with new indian recovery image ?

I did that too, after installing the cwm....

same I rebooted, and clicked the update now.....

mobile reboots and it tries to update..... error:: ( sd card un known path , not able to mount ... hangs , reboots again )

since I use your twarp backup, how you updated your mobile after flashing it with new indian recovery image..... ?

please let me know the steps....

yes I can use your new version CWM recovery.... but I have lot of apps, cache and etc... in side for current state....

so I don't prefer to reflash entirely...

I want to update as such... :)

do I need to lock the boot once again or uninstall the root ?

not sure what step is missing..... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
U'll need to unroot, re-install system apps if any uninstalled & I had locked my bootloader before update....

If you are relocking bootloader, your phone will get factory resetted when unlocking again. You'll lose all apps also...

The solution is that, backup your apps with helium, unroot(I've restored my unrooted backup), lock bootloader(not sure- you can try without relocking, I haven't tried), reinstall all system apps if uninstalled any, then trigger update. :)

Or simply download the updated backup & restore. You'll be on the latest firmware.

Gain... :)
[Desire 816 General] SivasankarC:
OK , I uninstalled the super su........ and tried the update again..... still issue persists.......

let me lock the boot now...... and try again...... :silly::silly::silly:
[Desire 816 General] SivasankarC:
I uninstalled super su, relocked the boot....... still its not working..............

I installed your CWM backup..... Vibration is dead.......
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Try this twrp backup

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4mqA0lznUoudng1cXFxMzFpMm8/preview?pli=1
[Desire 816 General] SivasankarC:
you the man............. you done it once again...........

this version worked well....

blinkfeed, which was not working well in your previous versions is fixed, in this image you gave me.....

i restored it and reflashed with indian backup rom..........

tada............ upgrade went reall smooth....................

everything is working reall good..... i confirm all good............

Everything worked fine...................... updated to new version..........

note ( my boot loader was in unlocked mode when update was on progress... )

so i guess... unlocked boot loader is not a issue.....

Thank you so much :cowboy::cowboy::cowboy:

Hi!

Can i install this backup for HTC Desire 816w? (chinese dual sim version)
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
You can try.... But first make backup of your current Rom
[Desire 816 General] prasannavathanan:
Urgent Help Please

I got a China Unicom Desire 816W (dual sim) as gift.

I have unlocked using HTC Dev & rooted the same using CWM

Now can I flash this Indian ROM?

Please advice further as I dont want that chinese version rom...
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Same as above... You can try.... But first make backup of your current Rom. If this ROM is incompatible, you can reverse by flashing that backup.
[Desire 816 General] prasannavathanan:
Re: Urgent Help Please

Please read posts above...
[Desire 816 General] drcrazy91:
THATS WHY IM ASKING. I`VE READ ALL POSTS ABOVE. I'VE SEEN SOME WANTED TO INSTALL THIS BACKUP ON NON-INDIAN VERSION (LIKE DUAL SIM UNICOM). NOT SURE THEY GOT IT WORKED OR NOT. I JUST WANT TO INSTALL THIS ON MY DUAL SIM UNICOM VERSION COS VIBRATION IS NOT WORKING IN CURRENT CUSTOM ROM. SIMPLE ANSWER WOULD BE NICE. THANK IN ADVANCE.
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Please see post no 101 and above thread....

Its clearly written that [MENTION=1447347]prasannavathanan[/MENTION] has 816w & this backup is working fine on his cell

...i urgently need it as i updated to 1.50 my speaker stopped working...SO NEED IT URGENTLY!!
[Desire 816 General] nahiyaan_asif:

this is 1.50 not the stock 1.25 ..i need the stock 1.25 version...
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
If you want 1.25, then I have TWRP.

Try this... https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B4mqA0lznUoudng1cXFxMzFpMm8&export=download

You're welcome dude.. :)
[Desire 816 General] vgshah78:
@jithumon: Thanks a lot for this backup bro. I was waiting for this since long. :) I am facing a problem with vibration. It's not working for me. Am I missing something?
[Desire 816 General] spatone:
Great work Jithu.

For one of my previous devices (LG Optimus L9), we had a great repository of resources like this, tutorials and guide for the benefit of every new purchaser of the phone.

Any plans to develop this thread into something of that sorts???? ;)
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Thank you bro.....Will try to make a thread like that... :)

Will give you a twrp link tomorrow....I think cwm backup has a bug of vibration.
[Desire 816 General] vgshah78:
Thanks a lot for ur time and effort jithu. :) Can you provide twrp recovery image that ur using? I've Philz Touch recovery installed. I guess twrp backup won't work with it?!
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
TWRP...

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4mqA0lznUoudng1cXFxMzFpMm8/edit?usp=sharing

You need TWRP to flash this.

Just backup your boot to get the backup folder, boot & place this backup in that folder.
[Desire 816 General] vgshah78:
Thanks for the twrp backup bro. I restored the backup but sadly still no luck with vibration.

Do you think making a flashable .zip of ur backup will help in any way? Like getting OTA update?

There's a new system update rolled out for India today v1.58.720.1. Any chance of getting that? Thanks. :)
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Dude.....Don't tell me that there is an update available...its like a nightmare for me...sleepless nights till successful update...

But will try to update...

About Zip...Will try to make one with Philz Recovery as there is an option to do so.
[Desire 816 General] subbukannan:
Got a new update

Hi Guys,

We got a new update for HTC desire 816 dual sim indian version but since I am rooted using CWM I am not able to install the update. Any suggestion how can i install the update.

Thanks,
[Desire 816 General] spatone:
You are in a thread created precisely for this purpose - updating a rooted phone with CWM to the latest 1.50 version of the software.:confused:
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Will update backup today... :)
[Desire 816 General] vgshah78:
If possible, flashable zip please. :)
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Will try to give you tomorrow.

Today I tried to make with Philz recovery, but it was freezing after some progress.
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Hi all,

[Desire 816 General] vgshah78:
[MENTION=5158782]jithumon[/MENTION]: Are you experiencing any lag in latest update? I restored ur twrp backup but I am facing lag while typing/clicking. I didn't experience such prob in ur previous backup.
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Its English.

thanks bro....

It would be nice if you transform this to single sim. :) ...All the best bro..

No... I'm not experiencing any lag.. Try clearing dalvik cache after flash.
[Desire 816 General] vgshah78:
Well, I tried that already and I tried restoring both CWM and TWRP backup. But I am observing strange behavior. Sometimes when I click on screen, it's registering a long press instead of a single click. I observed strange behavior while scrolling messages as well. Don't know what's the problem. :confused:

Your previous backup works flawlessly though.
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Dont know dude..what's the problem...

Edit: Try that old backup & then simply do OTA...

Anyone else tried??
[Desire 816 General] sexmaschine:
with 1.58.720.1 on my device touch is laggy too

[Desire 816 General] jithumon:

I'll change the backup....

Is your cell Indian version?
[Desire 816 General] vgshah78:
Yeah, dual sim version.
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
I'm helpless bro....don't know where is the problem... :(
[Desire 816 General] vgshah78:
It's ok bro. You've already done a tremendous job by providing backup of previous versions. :)

I guess nothing there's nothing wrong in ur backup. It might be HTC implementing tighter security measures. AFAIK vibration has never worked in any of the backups / port of Stock ROM found on net. You need "official" version for all features to work perfectly. So un-rooting might help but that would be too tedious process for getting the update everytime! Not sure but this is what I conclude.

I hope CM 11 is ported soon for our device. :)
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Thanks bro.... I'll update the thread with old version itself....

You're right bro... They are improving the security....damn.... I hate hTC now...

Cm11 is already ported.... I think you know that... But most things are not working.... I'm also waiting for that to be a daily driver....

Update issue - need advice

Hi Friend

it's me again!

There's is a update from htc but couldn't install.

the following error is displayed after download of the pack.

Someone has similar problem, I can see.

what's ur idea boss?? Do advice....]
[Desire 816 General] vbrsekhar:
You need stock recovery to get the OTA updates installed. You can extract one from the firmware folder of the update. Also, people who have re-locked the bootloader (just ) for getting the OTA updates were quite successful too. You might want to do that via fastboot oem lock command. Then try re-downloading your OTA update.

After you install the OTA update, if you have relocked the bootloader, use the previous unlock_code.bin file that you received from HTC to unlock the bootloader and re-unlock your bootloader using that file. Doing this process will factory reset your device.

Then you install the custom recovery again on top of the stock recovery. For detailed steps [MENTION=5158782]jithumon[/MENTION] has provided somewhere or you can find it from my previous posts too.

Hit thanks button if you are successful so others would learn from this.
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
You cannot update your 816w system with 816d software. HTC secutity will not allow you to do so.

Wait till the next update, lets hope that backup will not have the lagging problem.

The OTA update will not work on a different system. :( (816d on 816w)

Thanks for your help dude.. :)

Hello devs,

This was my first time i bought a htc, so i need a little help from you guys,

can anyone link me the stock firmware of h&c desire 816d indian version, which is unrooted.

as i have to send my phone to warranty so need it ASAP.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

PS:I would be glad if someone provides me steps to flash the stock firmware, as i said i am new to htc.

Sorry guys, didnt notice that there are two different systems involved in his query. My answer only applies to OTA update of the same model phone.

These are also safer because the checksum is verified before flashing.
