Just be sure to download zImage (Kernel) and initrd.lzma from this link:

http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=androidhtc/kernel-release.git;a=tree

or use aTools (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=783514) to do it for you.

The benefit from using aTools configured to HARET setup is, that it would also create default.txt file for you.
[Desire General] Bigwasp:
Hi,

Just got this update this morning and not sure what changes it made (kinda hoping for new sense, with integration to htcsense.com but I don't think so)

Did any one else get this?

Does anyone know the changes that it made?

Thanks

BW
[Desire General] remmyhi:
The solution is online for manual download since a month now.

Big advantage - no more 90% battery problem in the mornings.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I think this was "released" a little while ago - think there was a download link on here for it :) (think I read basically it was just a radio update?)

But thanks for letting me know - didn't see it on htc.com and nothing on HTC's twitter feeds - downloading and installing OTA now
[Desire General] Eggcake:
Got the update too - using LeeDroid ROM though, so I didn't want to install it :D
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Taking awhile to update... min to download, but the last 15 mins installing, rebooting, and then it booted up said "you have successfully updated to 2.29.405.2" then started counting up from 1% -> 58% so far on the htc logo...

Just finished: 9:09
[Desire General] narsyl:
Nice, update on move :P 25Mb needed on phone memory to update.
[Desire General] Th0rAnum:
Just got the notification about this update this morning. I'm running a rooted, slightly modifierd Stock Rom. The update says it will upgrade the system to 2.29.405.2 and is 28,7MB big. At the bottom it says:

Update: Android Market

Haven't updated yet, since battery is low and I don't want to mess around with my perfectly working phone in the beginning of a long week.
[Desire General] Sir_Oliver:
Whats new in Android Market after update?
[Desire General] narsyl:
Nothing.... can't find any change.
[Desire General] Sir_Oliver:
Ok tnx.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Been using 2.29.405.2 since the RUU was made available a month or so ago - it's fine to use
[Desire General] Norsehawk:
To anyone who'd download it:

Do I need to clear some space and wipe some apps so this update can be installed properly? :confused:
[Desire General] panosx:
I'm using a stock rooted desire. Anyone knows if I'm going to loose root if I update OTA?
[Desire General] mayurh:
yes make some space first else it wont able to finish
[Desire General] Norsehawk:
Crap :( I have uninstalled some apps, and I really can't unistall even more. Google Maps, Flash and Gmail has 35 Mb togheter. So stupid that they can't be moved to SD-card without root.
[Desire General] mayurh:
Why not clear data for gmail it can always be synced again ?

and clear cache for most apps?
[Desire General] mobilkungen78:
+1 will we lose root and s-off?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It'll screw things up so don't do it...
[Desire General] dkawa:
My Desire was rooted with Unrevoked. I have dowloaded the UPDATE but cannot install this... Why??
[Desire General] vincio3:
same problem! any suggestion?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Because you're rooted - you can't install an OTA if you're rooted. Well, you can but it'll screw the phone up and you'd just have to flash a stock RUU anyway
[Desire General] mayurh:
does anyone have the ota update as a zip file so i can install it manually?
[Desire General] dkawa:
OK so we have to wait for the rooted version that will be published here at XDA?

That's not the OTA file but the full RUU...I'm sure someone will post the OTA ZIP file in due time
[Desire General] mayurh:
yip thats what im waiting for
[Desire General] DeeJayDark UE:
Installing right now!
[Desire General] Lothaen:
market seems to be a separate app now anyway - they added on 'related' on the apps recently or have I just not been paying attention much?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
about 28MB
[Desire General] mayurh:
correct. the related tab can be gained by clearing the market apps cache

thats how i got the related tab

[Desire General] mayurh:
cool thanks eddyos

so i can update this file the reboot method and it wont delete any of my data right?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Yep, rename it update.zip, boot into HBOOT (hold volume down and press power), select recovery, once at the ! hold volume up and press power, select apply SD:update.zip, follow the instructions
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
Ok, ok, but does anybody know what this update actually does?! ;o)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Few bug fixes, app updates and new radio
[Desire General] excogitation:
creates a bootloop on my debranded German T-Mobile (previously running a rooted 2.10.405.2 EU)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
That's because you can't apply it to a rooted device...you should never accept update on a rooted ROM as it'll do all sorts of things to your phone. You may have to hard reset to get it working again
[Desire General] mertonzo:

[Desire General] mayurh:
thanks so much
[Desire General] excogitation:
rename it to update.zip and apply from recovery menu
[Desire General] EddyOS:
What you're doing is nothing at all related to this OTA update. The file you've downloaded is the PB99IMG of the 1.21.405.2 RUU

This thread is about the 2.29.405.2 OTA that came out yesterday from HTC
[Desire General] EddyOS:
That's a load of rubbish too
[Desire General] mertonzo:
Sorry for my bad english... :p

- I've download this update 2.29.405.2 (OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2**.zip)

- I've selected this file from ClockworthMod

- The update has been installed

But the desire goes into infinite loop when it boots...

Now, with original HTC recovery, i can see that it can't find these files: PB99DIAG.zip or PB99DIAG.nbh or PB99IMG.zip etc...

where can I find this file? Can I rename the OTA zip into PB99DIAG.zip or an original image into PB99IMG.zip?
[Desire General] excogitation:
well yeah, you're right ... I was under the impression he downloaded the OTA
[Desire General] paperclip69:
ok so even if we have this update.zip downloaded then if your rom is rooted then don't apply it?

any way of getting the update with out losing all your data and putting a new rom on?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
ffs!!!!

You are rooted so you

cannot

apply this update!!!!

And even if you could you STILL don't do it that way. Seriously, read up on things before making pointless posts

No, you'd need for a ROM to be updated to this base and use that - it's been around in RUU form for ages (I've been using it over a month now) and a few stock-but-rooted versions are about in the Dev forum
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Why you haven't thought to that before to root your phone? :P

Anyway the best solution is

- do a nandroid backup (in case u want go back)

- backup ur personal data (sms, call logs, bookmarks, ecc..lot of apps for this)

- install Titanium backup for backups all ur apps

- run the original RUU ( http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe ) (this erase all in ur phone)

- reconfigure all ur personal settings

- root with unrevoked

- restore ur personal data

- restore just ur apps with TB

U will have a fresh, fast and stable phone! Enjoy!!! :p

(tip: 2.29.405.2 is for people with roms x.xx.405.2 I think, check it first)
[Desire General] cn0MMnb:
Can someone post the Baseband-Version that comes with this update?

Thanks
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Check my signature
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Just search it (it available from a month ago) :p

[Desire General] cn0MMnb:
Damn, I did the OTA Update without a working Goldcard (recognized it, when I was halfway thorugh the update process)

So I got Baseband 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 now...
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Download the OTA ZIP from one of my earlier posts, rename it update.zip, copy it to the root of the SD card and flash it manually. It should sort you out
[Desire General] cn0MMnb:
does that work without a goldcard? The Goldcard utility somehow fails to get the CID...
[Desire General] EddyOS:
No, if you were branded before you will need a gold card for ALL updates. Better to make your day to day card your gold card and be done with it
[Desire General] ste1164:
For all those people stupid enough to apply the update when rooted and are in bootloops. Go into stock recovery and flash the update.zip again. You will be unrooted but you will still have the superuser.apk which will do nothing and can't be deleted.
[Desire General] aindow:
Changes noticed so far

1. The phone seems quicker, but i don't know if that's just down to the WWE Rom or not.

2. The weather update interval has been changed from 4 hours, to 3 hours
[Desire General] kavey:
I have a rooted desire, but only root using z4root, so just superuser and root, not s-off or custom recovery.

Given this, can I apply this update, or full ruu? Am not sure as most advice so far seems to be for fully rooted desires.

Thanks in advance
[Desire General] 3722:
Superuser and root are basically the same thing, and you should also follow the procedure as any rooted user here, i.e., unroot and flash it then (with a goldcard if you're branded).
[Desire General] psycho.ro:
i've updated, rebooted and everything was ok. I decided to shutdown the phone and start it again and now it's stuck.

i did not root my phone.

I tried recovery but it gets stuck there too.
[Desire General] sergiopi:
Yes, you are in the wrong forum , to all: please look at the TOPIC :)
[Desire General] Proximer:
Hello, as You can see, i'm a noob here in this forum, and the Desire is basicaly my first android device so i hope i won't be beated here for my posts. I have a first question from me easy to answer for some of You. I've applied this recent update to my fully stock unbranded phone and everything seems to be fine. I started to consider what happened to the update file that was downloaded to the device. Is it left there and i have to manually delete it or is it deleted automatically after the update is finished?

Thanks in advance. :)

P.S. i was searching all the forums, but the search returned no results.
[Desire General] mayurh:
Hi and welcome

if u got the file Ota im not sure where its stored

but if you installed it manually then u placed the update.zip in on the sd card.in that case you can just delete the update.zip on the sd card

Hope that helps

EDIT: Actually i cant find the update.zip on my sdcard so i think it might be deleted automatically
[Desire General] HtcDesire2:
Hi All,

I am from India, and i got an OTA update to 2.13.720.2 (~4.8 MB). Not sure why there is such a huge diff in ur version and Indian Version. :O

As per HTC India
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It's different because your're on a different vendor code (x.xx.720.x as opposed to x.xx.405.x) - this update isn't applicable to you

my touch input was not so good but i did a recalibrate :)
[Desire General] dkawa:

[Desire General] EddyOS:
There's already 2 rooted versions in the Dev forum, RUU has been out over a month already...stick it in there and see if anyone wants it.

I, for one, does not
[Desire General] dkawa:
Are you frustrated or so??
[Desire General] EddyOS:
No, was just informing you that this isn't the place to post ROMs and that 2 already exist. You may have more interest in the correct forum ;)
[Desire General] pmeswani:
That was there prior to the update... sadly.
[Desire General] fxcw:
Ok I just tried to install this using the Hboot method as I had to previously debrand my phone and it just aborts the install... Any ideas?
[Desire General] ecarroll:
An idiot.

Hello, as the title suggests I am an idiot. I rooted my desire a while ago and wasn't swayed by any of the custom ROMS and I restored the original ROM back up (Vodafone Ireland). When this update came in I tried the OTA update (which failed) and then I started to try the methods on this thread.

The full RUU exe file never picked up the desire (though I think this was because I set the data connect to external storage.) I download the OTA update and booted into recovery to apply the file (this failed).

I then downloaded the OTA file that EddyOS posted and that failed also.

I then got a bootloop of seeing the HTC logo and then reboot.

I got the fake-flash update which also failed.

I can get to the HBOOT screen (the white one with the 3 androids at the bottom), but evert update failed from here with a "ffailed to verify whole-file signature" message.

At this stage how can I get back to the standard OS? Is it possible to load a ROM from here?

Thanks in advance.

Eoin
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You'll either need to find the Vodafone RUU that came with your phone and flash that or use your gold card to flash the WWE RUU in my signature
[Desire General] Dr Doom:
Hey folks,

Downloaded this OTA this morning but apparently don't have enough space to install it (only got 16mb free rather than the 28 or so it needs). I'm not able to delete any more apps - have already got rid of a few and moved all i can to SD.

So two questions:

1. what can i delete on the phone other than apps that will free up space (someone mentioned gmail cache - how do i do this)? Or what else can be moved to SD card? I assume pics etc. are automatically stored there.

2. if i download the version posted above and follow the instructions for a manual install can i get around this issue or will the phone still need 28mb free space.

Getting v fed up of low storage warnings =(

Thx
[Desire General] EddyOS:
1. Not a lot is stored on the internal storage that can be moved. you can lear cache by going into Settings>Application>Manage applications, click on the Running tab, click on the app in question and press 'Clear cache' but don't know what that'll do

Just remove a few pointless apps and once update is done install them again, much easier

2. You still need the space
[Desire General] IVS IVRIS:
I have a rooted desire.. and when asked to download it I said yes, but after reading this.. I'll skip this update.. can I delete the 'update' notification or delete the file from my sd?
[Desire General] 3722:
Well just don't apply it.

You should find it in /sdcard/download/

delete the file there.
[Desire General] IVS IVRIS:
thanks worked! glad I didn't install, haha
[Desire General] p.panayi:
Does is finally use phone memory or sd card?

Stuck on boot screen

Hi,

I read EddyOS warning too late about not applying OTA on a rooted phone (unrevoked).:(

I was on HBOO 0.83, now on 0.93.

Radio is 5.11.05.27.

I manage to go to recovery, then get the !, then Up and Power to get the blue screen with choices among which Reboot system now, but that sends me to the boot screen wich appears on and on.

I don't see how to get out of there.

Any idea to unstuck me ?

Thanks

EDIT : managed to unstuck by doing some more readings.
[Desire General] iacob:
@machinfr, how did you do it?

I'm in the same situation...

thx
[Desire General] machinfr:
@iacob: downloaded PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip

renamed it PB99IMG.zip, put it at the root of the SD card, then reboot the phone in bootloader.
[Desire General] supasye:
Can anyone point me towards this stock Rom but rooted and with a2sd+? I heard its about but I can't find it, thanks.
[Desire General] Racker_CRO:
Will this update erase all data on phone after update? I will make backup but I wonder if I will need to reinstall everything, restore contacts, etc...

Thnx.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
The OTA on it's own won't wipe anything as it's not designed to
[Desire General] t-pip:
Help,

I've renamed the file to update.zip and copied it to the root of my SD card.

When I follow the procedure and try to install it I get the following error:

I've opened the update.zip file on my PC and found a firmware.zip file within it, this however appears to be corrupt. Is this the problem?

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Desire General] glumardok:
During the installation, the phone can't access the SD card, I would say. The update needs about 30 MB free space on the internal storage, because the update file is of that size and can be accessed on the internal storage only. In other words: You must not install from the SD card but from the internal storage.
[Desire General] t-pip:
I have 38mb free and using Gold card. Any other ideas?

Is the update network specific? Just called HTC and they have said that the OTA numbers vary by carrier.

I'm with T-Mobile.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
The update is ROM specific, this is to update 2.10.405.2 to 2.29.405.2

As its for the SIM free Desire the network is irrelevent
[Desire General] t-pip:
Mine Simlocked, to T Mobile, is that the problem?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
What ROM are you on at the moment? Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post up the Software version
[Desire General] t-pip:
2.12.110.4
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Then this update isn't for you. It's for unbranded Desires on vendor code x.xx.405.x

You're on T-Mobile UK, x.xx.110.x, and you're already on their latest ROM version
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I think you need to be on a x.x.405.x firmware to be able to use the update without first flashing?
[Desire General] t-pip:
D'oh.

Any other ideas for what I can do to address the 90% charging issue?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You can't, its present in all ROMs as thie is how the battery behaves
[Desire General] t-pip:
OK, thanks.
[Desire General] beemha:
Unbranded desire is only xx.405.xx?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
unbranded European, yes. Possibly regional variants but this update is for the WWE Desires (x.xx.405.x)
[Desire General] sangva:
Hi Eddy!

I have unlocked, rooted with rev., original stock froyo Desire(2.10.405.2, 32.44.00.32, 5.09.05.30.2) If i download your OTA zip file and make flash from sd card, that's will be working, and i will be have this update?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I'll say this once more...

If you're rooted you CANNOT apply this update WITHOUT risk of corrupting your existing ROM
[Desire General] waynefox:
I didn't see any of these posts before I updated my handset on Monday but

My Desire is a 3uk handset, flashed with a stock WWE rom and Rooted with UnRevoked

I updated my handset OTA by renaming the OTA file to update.zip and placing it in the root of the SD card.

I applied the update manually via the recovery option.

I lost root on my handset and also spotted when i tried booting into recovery that i'd also lost that too.

However, I connected my handset to my Laptop and Ran UnRevoked again and afterwards I had my Recovery Partition back and my handset was Rooted once again. with no loss of data

So I don't know why people are having so many problems with rooted phones
[Desire General] HUNTheDon:
I've an unbranded unrooted stock, .405. desire, but I cannot see any update when I click software update. In Hungary. Maybe some regional issues? :/

And if I dl the rom zip linked above, can I run it unrooted?

Thx :)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
If you actually read my post you'll see I say "WITHOUT RISK", meaning you CAN flash the OTA but you run the risk of potentially bricking your phone. You're better off waiting for a custom ROM based on 2.29.405.2 (of which there are a few already) appearing and flashing that as you're less likely to need to return to stock due to issues flashing the OTA.

Why can't people read and, more importantly, UNDERSTAND that there are issues flashing OTA files on a rooted ROM? Is it that hard a concept to grasp??
[Desire General] aindow:
My phone notified me of the ota update and then went on to tell me It's corrupt when I tried installing it. I was using an unbranded euro firmware. In the end I gave up and installed the latest WWE firmware instead.
[Desire General] HUNTheDon:
F5 :o :o :o
[Desire General] bigsee:
Just a stupid question: my Desire is SIMlocked by "Telenor HU" and the update was dl-d and set without any problems. The sw version is now, after the update: 2.29.405.2. It means it is unbranded, it is branded or what...???
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Didn't think you could be unbranded and SIM-locked...hmmm

You sure you can't put another SIM in it?
[Desire General] bigsee:
I put another SIM, the answer is: "SIM Network unlock PIN", the home service (Telenor) or the guest SIM (T-MOBILE) unlock PIN should I write on it?
[Desire General] bigsee:
I've found the unlock codes for ~20 USD on the net, thx, the home SIM went back... but my phone is branded (by Telenor) AND unbranded (by HTC update) too... ;)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Right so if you unbranded using a gold card then yes you can be SIM locked. You'll need to buy a code online
[Desire General] bigsee:
No, I didn't unbranded, didn't used Goldcard, the pda is untouched, it is 7 days old directly from the shop of Telenor-hu... don't understand...
[Desire General] scott2121210:
I have an unbranded sim-free HTC Desire currently operating software version 2.10.405.2 but I am aware that software upgrade 2.29.405.2 has been released OTA. My concern is that I have not been notified of this software and checking manually also informs me that my software is up-to-date. Is this something which I should be concerned about, or is it quite normal for not all devices to receive the notification at the same time? Your assistance will be much appreciated.

Kind regards

Scott.
[Desire General] cabi.costa:
Hi Scott,

same thing for me. I've been noticed some mornings ago by the phone but I was with the 3g connection and no flat-account for internet, so I said myself "let's wait to get home for the wifi"... approx 6 hours later and the ota update is already missing, the phone can't find it.

What we should do?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Completely normal, but if you can't wait go back a few pages, download the OTA file and flash it manually
