Dude I also had this problem. In order to solve it, I restored my oldest nandroid backup, update again to the latest HTC version and root it again. And guess what, that solve my problem :-) Hope that works for you to.
[Wildfire General] inforfinfor:
Is there any other option? Unfortunately I haven't done my nandroid backup yet... I had got a notification that my Android can be updated, so I did it. Everything works fine except WiFi...
[Wildfire General] dud3me:
I dont have this update! weird I only have 1,25

Edit: Just found it lol. Wonder y u can't see it in htc.com...
[Wildfire General] Ofloo:
whatever it is they did it seems that they fixed some of the theter (over usb) issues i had, .. i wasn't able to load my phone in ubuntu, .. never could reach the gateway 192.168.100.254 however after plugging it in now, everything works fine.
[Wildfire General] Elibongo:
Does anyone know when (or if) this update will be available for T-Mobile UK customers?
[Wildfire General] ogyboy:
did u restored to version before rooting ur phone m8 ?
[Wildfire General] rommi0:
I'm sorry, but I can't help you out here. I wasn't running a custom ROM. I was running the stock ROM that comes with the phone.

Before flashing the kernel, I did a nandroid backup. This allowed me to revert back to the original kernel and install the update.
[Wildfire General] ricardoft:
Don't know :X never tried. But you could use adb logcat and see what kind of exception does it get.
[Wildfire General] grognaz:
i have a hard time with this update... when i flash it on the current rom a lot of apps are missing, clock, weather, market and so on... its all messed up:(

when i reset to factory defaults before updating i can not root it and i can not use titan to restore my apps/settings:(

any idea what could be the problem?
[Wildfire General] TheLazza:
I currently have a Wildfire rooted with Unrevoked, now my question is: if I upgrade to the latest OTA (version 1.37.405.1) do you confirm I will lose my root and I can do it again?
[Wildfire General] mpn117:
thanks

thanks help alot
[Wildfire General] grognaz:
i updated to 1.37.405.1 and i still had root, but could not boot into recovery mode. after rooting again everything works fine:D
[Wildfire General] TheLazza:
Thank you very much! :) Now I'm downloading the OTA, then I'll reboot and go with Unrevoked.
[Wildfire General] TheLazza:
It's happening for me too (but I don't have a custom ROM). Is it safe to switch it off? What should I do?
[Wildfire General] TheLazza:
That scared me a lot! :eek:

I figured out I just needed to press the power button (to fire up ClockWorkMod) and then the "I-don't-how-it's-called-in-english-button-on-the-bottom". :P

The upgrade didn't perform, but at least my phone still works. Since it's a failed signature check, is it due to a broken download or some other problem?

Thank you all for the patience and sorry for 3 consecutive posts. :o
[Wildfire General] argeoff:
Hmmm.. my software version is 1.15.707.1, but its says my phone is updated. Its rooted and i am using the overclock kernel.

Help ?

Thanks in advance.
[Wildfire General] hlvadgama9:
Hey .... Is "1.37.405.1" update available in INDIA ...

I have 1.25.720.1 update as of now .... and when i check for the update it says "no update available"

But yes there is a small update for the Market app on my Wildfire ...

The best thing about the market update is .... you can directly get a list of similar apps :):):)
[Wildfire General] kennyhkw:
For anyone struggling to install this update here is what i did:

My phone was rooted with Unrevoked and running HCDR Jacob's kernel so it wouldn't update OTA. It would pick up and download the update but would fail whilst updating.

I downloaded the one from: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...air-with-online-kitchen-prerooted-update-zip/

Copy the file onto your SD Card and boot into Recovery and Install from zip and voila, it'll update your phone and you lose no data!

What it will do is change the kernel. but you can always change that yourself if your bothered.

Many thanks to the folks over at Modaco for the repack!
[Wildfire General] thunderskain:
Has anyone found out what this update does except the market thing?
[Wildfire General] hlvadgama9:
1 more thing .... i am using a stock ROM (Software version : 1.25.720.1) ... not at all rooted ....

Anyone who has updated to 1.37.405.1 in India ???? :confused:

thnx
[Wildfire General] argeoff:
Same problem, phone is not picking up any updates. I am from Singapore. Maybe it is still not available in Asia ? :confused:
[Wildfire General] hlvadgama9:
Strange !!!

After the market update .... my wildfire battery drains a LOT .... ???

Is any1 facing the same problem ???

Even when my mobile was on standby for about 2 hours .... i lost about 20% of my battery .... with no apps running in background .... :confused::confused:
[Wildfire General] thunderskain:
Yeah I'm from sg too and I do.t have any updates... Sucks to use HTC in Asia..
[Wildfire General] :Mania::
Well I am from SG too but I am not that enthu for this OTA update. Some people have updated and their Wifi do not work properly anymore forcing them to restore the backup to remove this OTA update.. I'm looking forward more to Froyo or Gingerbread to be honest..
[Wildfire General] thunderskain:
Haha yeah .. but wouldn't peeps in sg experience the same issue when froyo is released and everybody is Asia is the last to get it
[Wildfire General] bassmonkey:

Hi! I'm from the philippines and my friend has an unrooted wildfire and he got the update. Mine is rooted checked for updates and nothing found and still has 1.15.707.1. How can I get 2.2?:confused:
[Wildfire General] TheLazza:
Unrevoked 3.3 under Ubuntu Linux doesn't work for me after this update. I don't have root anymore (yes I have the superuser app but it doesn't work).

Unrevoked stops with error Internal Error: am reported error starting service.

Can somebody help me? I would like to get root again. Thank you!

How to flash OTA file?
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
You cant flash an OTA afaik.

OTA=Over the air

And besides, this update is old.
[Wildfire General] :
You can. Go to recovery and flash the zip file from there. Make sure your zip doesn't contain the new HBOOT or you won't even have the ability to use custom ROMs anymore.
[Wildfire General] Dr_Wolodya:
I have HBOOT 1.01 and I can't flash custom recovery.

I can't update over the air because phone freeze on logo.

Exist ant other methods?

My phone just fell into water!

I immediately took it up and when drying it the phone responded to the touch screens but then it shut down,

i took out the battery and dried it from the outside and now im doing it from the inside with the hair-dryer,

Any suggestion of how to dry it more?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angky94:
dun dry it with hairdryer cos u may melt the solder or anything inside the phone. put the phone in an airtight container with rice and wait patiently! otherwise, send it to 3rd party people to help u clean :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yes,

the most critical part was to take the battery out as soon as you got it off the water to prevent short circuit

don't rush it let it dry naturally at room temperature

hair dryer could damage the phone (but again we know the phone have survived the ove trick and hair dryer trick, so it should be okay)

take out all the parts, battery, cover, etc

if you are a technician open up the phone, and use compressed air spray cans, but watch out to not freeze the phone.

best results if you have an air compressor machine at home and use it to blow dry the phone

let it rest under the sun or a projector lamp for an hour and check to make sure there are no more water vapour trapped under the screen

once everything is confirmed dry, you can put it back together and hook up the battery, the phone should work back to normal now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akurit:
i hear throwing it in a bag of rice really sucks the moisture out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
As told, first step is ALWAYS to remove the battery and let it rest and dry for a period.

You can put it in a bag of rice (it absorbs humidity) and keep yourself from "testing the device" to ofter... let it rest for (at least) an 8 hours under warm and dry temperature in a bag of rice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoon:
i put in a jar rice, and put the phone between the rice with the jar open,

Hey everyone, pls help me, I fell my phone in water about 30 minutes.

Someone help me;(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beardedwonder:
You need to leave it off for a long time (days). Take it apart as much as possible, put it in a bowl of uncooked rice and leave it.

Given what you have said your phone could be dead already.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oswade:
This. although there is a small chance it is salvagable.

I would leave it in rice and also if it's sunny, leave it in the sun.

Before you do this though, dismantle it as much as possible. Even if you have to unscrew some bits, it may help (careful not to do too much that you can't put it back together).

Also, resist the temptation and wait at least 2 days before trying to turn it on again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duulis:
It will very probably still get corroded inside and will lose its functionality. Cleaning the parts with distilled water is the best way to fight this.

Drying with hairdryer melting Samsung solders? Does your hairdryer give more than 300 Celcius?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groksteady:
Hah! I've saved a few devices this way (phone, audio recorder) and given this advice several times with success each time, but I *never* thought to explain to people that it should be *uncooked* rice. That makes for an amazing image of someone screwing up instructions.

most likely, yes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beardedwonder:
In another thread someone asked if they rice should be cooked or not, so I always mention uncooked when I give advice.

I have heard people say that heating the device may turn the water into water vapour inside the device which could then deposit on other internal parts. And using a hair dryer might force the water further into the phone, so using a vacuum cleaner may be a better idea.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andmail:

This is the funniest thread ever.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackler007:
I was perplexed when i saw my phone swimming in the tumbler full of water. took out opened the Parts, direct fix video helped a lot to remove the internal parts aswell. yes, it required a lot of courage to take the risk. i was extremely careful and followed the instruction to the dot.

Dried with a Hair dryer, yes hair dryer, but one should be very careful. repeated the drying process for every 2 hours over night. Put it back and its back, even the battery % before the water drop was exact. i connected to my pc and backed up all my data.

Now i faced another trouble,network signal was not strong. Next step, dried the antenna alone and put it back.

again, Network was barely ok but no 3g, although i am able to get on edge.

Removed it again and this time i immersed all the parts in the bag of rice.

I have to admit, Samsung made a great device. I dont understand when certain indviduals comment about cheap plastic and build. The phone was perfectly build, i could not see moisture in certain parts, including the screen after the intense swim.

to see succesfull boot :D now it suffers still. if i turn off my phone it will loop battery charging animation and battery gets hot after while. nothing else luckily :thumbup:

excellent build quality

anyone else get this?

when applying screen protectors, the edges of the protector all along the right (or left, or bottom) won;t stick.. there's air gaps all the way long. Sometimes its the rigth, sometimes its the left, but with each protector i've tried it appears on them all. I've gone through three HTC protectors, and two Case mate ones, all had the same problem. I've tried wiping the screen edges with mild detergent before applying the cover, but i still have problems.
[Desire Accessories] philje123:
That's strange. Never had any problems with them on mine.

I am on my second screen protector since I got the phone back in May and I just use some cheap pack of 6 off ebay.

They seem to be just a little big. No more than half a mm or something.

Last time i used a paper-cutting-machine (!?) at work to cut a mm off.

Fits great now!

aha... so they may be a bit too big and somehow resting on an edge? thanks.. i'll try trimming them.

I use LauncherPro for my homescreen. LP Allows you to set up a shortcut to virtually anything on your phone. I noticed today when I was looking for the UAString setting that there is a "TV Out" Setting. Unfortunately, this process crashes immediately when I try to run it.

If you have LauncherPro, check out the following:

>Press+Hold Home Screen to get the "Add" menu

>Shortcuts

>Activities

>Settings

You will find "TV Out" - com.android.settings.TvOutSettings - between "Horizontal Calibration" and "Dock Settings." There's also a "Lock Screen Wallpaper" setting - do we have that?

Can anyone with DK28 try plugging in that 3.5 Mini-to-RCA cable and see what happens?

I had this issue with my first Evo. I had Sprint send me 2 different replacements and they all had light leakage. Some had less than others and I just had to settle for the one with the least, to me it seems like your probably not going to find a perfect evo. Yes, this sucks and as a customer I feel its unacceptable but its a losing battle IMO.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusva79:
Ya I did take it back and got a new.. Rooting it now. If this one has the light leakage I dont care anymore. I am done, I eventually think that they all come with the defect. Hopefully something will get fixed. I DID have a choice to get a black one. But damn the white does make the phone look sessy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
Good to hear brotha did you get stuck with the new hardware version and 2.02 hboot just curious? And yes they all do and eventually all will end up with SOME light leakage, its the nature of using glass for a screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusva79:
Ya I did get the new hardware version. 0004 version. I think the screen looks like my other white one and I am loving it. I am using a seido case right now and I can see the light with it. But oh well I am tired of taking it back in the forth. Honestly the other did have light leakage, i was gonna keep it but it had already scratches on the screen so I decided what the hell. I will get a newer one. Third time the charm hopefully.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
Scratches on the screen, same reason that I really complained about leakage on my first lol. I know you probably like your seidio but I would give a tpu material case a shot.. Fits very snug and covers light leakage completely..

probably will eventually. What do you call light leakage?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzos4:
My gf's white evo hw 004 has light leakage also. I can see the glass/screen flexing when the area below the capacitive buttons are pressed. I suggested she return for a new one but we put a "clear" tpu argely case on it the light leakage isn't as noticeable. The matte semi-clear back on the case looks pretty nice with the white evo. Got it from this ebay seller for $5, if you're interested. Tried it on my black evo but looks ugly, the smoke version of this case would probably look better.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusva79:
NEW White EVO has failed me again. I just got a new one yesterday and now I think there is light leakage that, honestly I dont care anymore. Now I was in the sun today on the phone and there is dust all in the screen now, I'd say bout 10 specs. I know some of you are gonna be, its just a speck. Well my Hero started with JUST a spec, but now a year later the screen is pretty much filled with them. What the heck am I doing wrong. Now what do you all think. Take it back?? And I dont think I will be getting a white anymore
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusva79:
Called the best buy customer service and complained how I am gonna be on my forth EVO. He explained to me the they have been getting alot of complaints about the white EVO's. So no more white for me.

no you cannot. read the contract. you can only replace the phone once for free within your 30 day period. i already went through this. you can do a insurance claim and get a refurb though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animal7296:
Not true. you dont have to use your insurance for this. It is a defect and covered under warranty.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
my corporate sprint store told me only 1 new replacement within the 30 days. and if you want a different phone you have to pay a $35 restocking fee as well. i suggest people read the back of their receipts. mine from sprint clearly states this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animal7296:
But it is still a known issue and covered under warranty. You may get refurbished but at least you get a replacement. If they made you pay I say you get ahold of a manager or something to get your money back. Unless your talking about your water damaged EVO then that would be insurance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
i have no water damaged evo, it dried out fine. and that wasn't the case when i talked to them, this was about a month ago when my camera wouldn't work. every store is different but im clearly looking at the fine print on my receipt from sprint and it clearly states 1 replacement or exchange within 30 days.
