What I did:

Get the PhysX smart wallpaper and max out the settings (this will max out your cpu)

Screen brightness all the way up.

Turn on GPS.

Turn on BT.

Turn on Flash LED.

Download a huge file over wifi.

Disable locking/screen dimming.

[Legend General] Guybrush02:
Edited : I finally solved my problem, thanks to nutunited. The solution is explained on the first three pages. It implies doing a lot of stuff about goldcard, downgrading, etc. but it works !)

While people on the other thread are trying to change their CID or to remove the CID-checking of Froyo update, I started this thread to regroup people that are in the same situation than me.

This is, people that have an unbranded HTC Legend, not rooted (this is: without any kind of modifications) and Froyo update still fails.

I've update1 for 2.1, and when I try updating to 2.2, I've the red warning. When I press power + volume up, I can see that there's an assert that failed when checking system files (in my case, this is often /system/app/SetupWizard.apk, calendar.odex and Facebook.apk).

I don't know if it's relevant, but the name of the update is :

OTA_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3-2.05.405.2_release_160357lpbd4myxuoe8m8jr.zip

(Also available on http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3-2.05.405.2_release_160357lpbd4myxuoe8m8jr.zip)

Software informations :

Version : 2.1-update1

Radio : 47.39.35.09U_7.08.35.21

Kernel : 2.6.29-5F084974 htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Build : 2.05.405.2 CL191838 release-keys

Software : 2.05.405.2

Browser : WebKit 3.1

And my CID is HTC__E11.

It seems that every CID from the following list should be accepted by the update :

0000000

1111111

2222222

3333333

4444444

5555555

6666666

7777777

8888888

9999999

HTC__001

HTC__K18

HTC__E11

HTC__N34

HTC__203

HTC__102

HTC__405

HTC__Y13

HTC__A07

HTC__304

HTC__016

HTC__032

What I tried :

- Doing OTA update normally (failed) ;

- Copying the update as update.zip at the root of the SDcard (failed) ;

- Updating without the sim card (failed) ;

- Updating with another SD card (failed) ;

- Wipe/clean data (failed) ;

- Updating with a formated SD card (failed) ;

I suggest regrouping information and people who are concerned in this topic, as our problem is clearly not CID related.
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
I don't know if it is related nor relevant but if you look at the update filename, you'll see "2.05.405.2_release_160357" and my version seems to be "2.05.405.2 CL191838 release-keys"

Is "CL191838" linked to "160357" in some way ?
[Legend General] senm:
@guybrush02 I have the same spec as you.

But how did you retrive the CID?
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
I installed a terminal emulator (see Terminal Emulator on Android Market) and in it, I enter "getprop". This will display a lot of things including the CID.
[Legend General] senm:
Oke...

I see this is not the threat for me.

cid = vodape17
[Legend General] nutunited:
I assume you've tried doing a full factory reset before attempting to apply the update?
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
I tried settings and then on Privacy, "Factory data reset". I also tried with power+volume down, then "recovery" then after red warning sign, power+volume up and I selected wipe cache partition and then wipe data/factory reset.

It seems that doing that only remove applications, settings, etc. but keep the system (as I'm still in 2.1-update1 after doing this factory reset).

Is there a way to completely replace the current system by the one I had when I bought my Legend?
[Legend General] porzione:
Have ro.cid "HTC__038" and also have all described here problems with update 2.2

and yes, unbranded and non-rooted :confused:
[Legend General] nutunited:
What is the hboot version for 2.1 update 1? (2.05.405.2) Think it might be the same as the 2.03 update (http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped...39.35.09_7.08.35.21_release_130330_signed.exe) - so you could try running that RUU and may not hit any bootloader problems. Then there is an upgrade path from 2.03 to 2.05 and then to 3.15. I successfully followed this upgrade path myself, so worth a try!
[Legend General] shara6:
HTC_044 CID number for me... update failed as well... please fix this HTC...
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
Hboot is 0-43.0001.

I will try it in few minutes.

I updated first post with a potential CID list that are allowed for this update. It seems that 044 and 038 are not allowed. Could you check what's exactly the error message when you try to update?

You can obtain this message as follows:

- Try to update ;

- When the red warning sign occurs, press power + volume up

- Then a message should be displayed in yellow. I think this topic will focus on assert failed for system files, not "signature failed" or something like that (Signature failed messages are discussed in the other thread).

If you're error message is quite the same as mine, I will update the first post adding your CID number.
[Legend General] porzione:
I see in recovery:

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Above this shown checks like

|| getprop("ro.cid") == "HTC__xx"

and there is not my cid "HTC__038"
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
Ok so this is not the same problem. You should follow the other thread which is about cid issues. Sorry.
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
I can't try installing the RUU stuff. I only have an ubuntu right now and it seems RUU doesn't run under Wine.(usb connection fails)

[Legend General] Guybrush02:
I managed to run RUU- inside a Virtual Machine.

RUU failed with an ID error. It seems this RUU update is not for my current version.
[Legend General] nutunited:
Try the downgrade howto - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725430. Also creating a Goldcard might help, but not sure...
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
I don't really understand every step of the downgrade howto but I wonder this procedure breaks the warranty. Is this right?

If I'm wrong, I'll try doing the whole stuff this evening because I'll be very busy this afternoon (I'm not sure my boss appreciates the fact I spend the morning on my HTC instead of doing my job :D).
[Legend General] nutunited:
Shouldn't void the warranty, as you won't actually be rooting - just downgrading to an earlier official ROM :)

EDIT: And just post here or in that thread if you get stuck along the way...
[Legend General] aneesh45:
@nutunited, what is your cid and hboot version before install?
[Legend General] nutunited:
didn't check hboot on 2.05, because I only had it installed for 5 minutes before installing Froyo! CID was a supported one- HTC_016.

Swyped from my HTC Legend
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
The procedure modifies system files, not sure HTC would appreciate :(

I'm at home, I tried making a goldcard. This seems to work (I've difficulties to install USB drivers under Windows as I'm not really a Windows user :-D). I applied crackin.bat and obtained the "good line" displaying full permissions on /dev/mtd/mtd0. Now I'm downloading RUU 1.31..... huu... I'm trying to download RUU 1.31, shipped-roms.com server doesn't like me....

I'll keep you in informed!

(Edited 1 - Ok, I'm unable to correctly download RUU 1.31. I'll try with 2.03 I still have (from this morning, remember ^^)).

(Edited 2 - RUU 2.03 worked. My phone is now trying to deploy this "update". I'll see if it works, and then I'll try an OTA update)
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
Update 2.05.405 failed with the same assert error about /system/Framework/core.odex.

It is exactly what happened when I bought the phone : the first time I tried to update it (I assume this was to 2.05.405), it failed. After two tries, it finally worked.

For now, the second try worked.... I assume the small size of this update compared to the ~80mb of Froyo explains why 2.05 finally worked and not Froyo.

I'll try now to do the 2.2 update... (I'll edit this post soon)

(Edited 1 - Update to 2.2 is at about 60% now... twice as usual! Maybe a good omen!?)

(Edited 2 - Ok, I'm right now on Froyo. A lot of thanks !!! I'll edit first post in few minutes)
[Legend General] nutunited:
Awesome, glad you got it working :)

Just to let you know, I ran the RUU and updated my wife's Legend to Froyo without any issues - worked great! The phone is noticeably faster now too, and she loves the extra features like live wallpaper and automatic text messages cleanup. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulshanu:
After updating Froyo in India. Here are the list of issues that I face.

1) It keeps on crashing .. Sometimes for no reason whatsoever. a Little 'Vibrate.. Pause.. Pause.. Vibrate.. Vibrate'.. And it almost reboots itself.

2) I am having strange issues with the EDGE. I am on Airtel 2 GB plan. Had no issues on Eclair. However with Froyo i keep on getting web page unavailable message. I have to go in Network Data settings and Uncheck.. and Check it to get it working again. STRANGE..

3) If trying to open some flash base content then also it reboots itself.

4) Initially the phone felt very zippy for a few days. However lately i have been experiencing lag. Again.. The Apps do open pretty quickly however there is lag in Contacts, Contact Search, Logs, And "Sweep Right To Call" options. Pretty frustrating. I feel this might go away wid the TW Launcher change.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Well this is a known issue when upgrading from enclair.

Do a backup on you apps and all you important stuff to a external sdcard.

Then do a factory reset.

Wipe the catch and format the internal sdcard.

Then the phone should work fine.

Then put the apps back.

DON'T restore any system data.

This will wipe all your data on the phone. So make sure you do have a backup or it will be much work for you.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fulcrum1971:
You will have to do a hard reset. Dont worry about the paid apps since they are linked to your google account. Vibrate pause vibrate vibrate is an indication of some app force closing. Using airtel 2gb but no probs on that account.

Im getting the same issues you seem to have but also slow game and UI response. This weekend i'll be trying anything to get my phone back to a reasonable state after the naffed firmware upgrade.

I'll be plug the phone in via USB to copy pictures ect. Contacts are held on gmail for me so not an issue. you might be able to do the same and forget kies. As for apps.. I have them all on laptop as I came from a G1 so dont mind losing them on the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulshanu:
Purg,

it is really surprising that i was able to take the back up of contacts...and can still take the back up of videos,pictures & music .but cant take back up of messages.

When I contacted the samsung indain on twitter ..they have suggested for hard reset.

Galaxy S is a perfect example of blend of some amazing and disappointing technologies..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Don't use kies to make backup.

Use titanium backup.

The problem with upgrade from enclair to froyo is the lack of information on what it means.

You do change the os in the phone.

Its not a little upgrade.

You can see it like going from windows xp to windows 7.

You got many things that don't work in the new system.

The best is to start from scratch.

I run jpu firmware now and it very easy to say its the best phone now. Both hardware and software works from stock. This is how the phone should have been from the start.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReedX50v:
This isn't really great advice, but, if the bootloader is toast, there is a good chance you can get it fixed under warranty as Samsung won't be able to tell what you had on it.

You could try making the jig as the parts are cheap, but not much chance if your cappy is unresponsive.

There is also the aftermarket jtag option. It's expensive, but should work. You may be able to find someone with it. Seeing as your reward offer is half the price of one, it probably wouldn't be out of line as far as somebody offering that service.

We need more info , is your pc detecting anything at all when connecting phone ?

like a sound or some unknown drivers ?

Plug the charger in the phone is something displayed ( like charging image)

same questions as above .

even tho you see nothing in the screen try to start Odin anyays see if it does something ..

well That is one of the reason why we need to know what happens when your phone is plugged in via USB ...

Here is my advice : unless you are experienced with the Jig ( you ve restored your phone at least once using it already ) I say try again and again

For example : these resistor sometimes have 5% variation so for me the 301k wasnt working had to put it at 300 otherwise it wouldnt work ..

would also like top point out the jig does trigger soemtign in your phone so again even if nothing shows up on the screen try to flash anyways ...

BTW you shoudl remove the bounty and just offer it once you have beenhelped , I doubt anyone here is in it for the money (except me of course ) j/k
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loraque:
For dead screen, try this. It sounds like voodoo but it got me going.

Remove the battery.

Open Odin.

Connect via USB

Plug the battery in.

Hold down POWER and VOLUP until you get RED text on the screen. This will look bad, but is in fact a good thing. This can take 20-30 seconds.

Once the red text is up, hold down BOTH VOL buttons and POWER. Again this part will seem to take too long, but the red text will go black after a bit.

When the red text goes black, let go of POWER but continue to hold down both VOL.

Welcome to download mode.

I harvested that information from the initial ODIN one-click post when I was preparing to go into a deep depression about bricking my phone (not trying to steal any mojo). I was able to get the red text to come up on mine, which gave me a keyword to search on. I still consider myself lucky to have found it, but though it sounds magical (howl at the full moon, while simultaneously sacrificing a goat to all that is THE Samsung) it does work.

I assume it is possible to brick these phones, but I have also read that the way Samsung does things, there are a couple failsafes more than normal. THIS is the worst I have seen on my phone, though it is not much worse than the computer ! PC image... both require magical means to fix. But fixed it can be.

Answers to some questions:

1.) My Captivate doesn't do anything when plugged into the computer. My computer does not recognize the USB. But, my computer is able to charge it... I know this because the battery is hot when I leave it plugged in.

2.) JIG does not seem to work. I really don't want to go out and remake another... but perhaps I will.

3.) Obviously I've tried ADB and Odin as well. Neither recognize the device. Battery pull, button combo, plugging, odin does not work as stated above many times. My computer DOES NOT see a USB device.

I'm fairly sure my Captivate is bricked. The bounty will remain until ~4PM Pacific today when I will have to take my phone to an ATT Device place and get it replaced. Obviously after that I won't be able to try out your methods.
