Dear Devabhishek,

thanks for your input mate.

i had clock work recovery but not did not have s off... i factory resetted my phone and then tried installing the update. Its still gets the red triangle.. i wasted a couple of hours backing up my stuff for this update. but still i couldnt apply it. what can be the issue?

PS: I was never able to take a nandroid backup of my phone using the Rom Manager. I could never get past the red triangle. I tried 5-6 times, i am not sure if its relevant, just sharing the info..

cheers!!!

I wanted this settings. ( taken from acer phones)

But HTC seems to be not including it. I think they dont have the full dolby license.... :(
[Desire HD General] devabhishek:
factry reset will not make your device s on... so even if you factory reseted it dosent make any difference...

you also need to have the stock recovery .. the orignal one that came with the device.. not clockwork recovery...

the two ways of going back to the stock recovery is to

1) flash a stock firmware.. but the stock firmware for our region (ie india) is not available so this method is out of the question

2) if you had backed up your firmware with rom manager before flashing the clockwork recovery... you can restore the backup using clockwork ..

i have a link where it says this is stock rom for india backed up with rom manager... but when i try to restore this one it says md5 check some mismatched..

i will add the link here.. see if any devloper can help us out with the checksome md5 miss match problem then we could try and restore our devices with this backup.. and see if we get our stock recovery back

here is the link (backup of indian firmware) ------->> http://db.tt/HcL516R

Sorry about offtopic, but I want to know about flashing radio for costume roms, is there something that I should know? As I'm living in latvia, and my operator probably uses different gsm freque , then which radio type I should flash?
[Desire HD General] shamps:
I dont have s off on my DHD.

I installed clockwork recovery using the rom manager of the market. I was never able to boot into recovery using the rom manager. I got a red triangle every time i tried doing it. I wanted to have a nandroid backup of my phone but i could never get past the red triangle after the reboot, so no backup as such.

I downloaded the backup you provided but then again i dont think i will get past the red triangle after trying to boot into recovery, so i am not sure how will i flash the stock rom.

Any alternate option to go back to stock recovery....
[Desire HD General] shamps:
Check the andriod development section for DHD. You will find everything you are looking for there....
[Desire HD General] devabhishek:
well.. even i am searching for an alternate method to get back to the stock recovery ..
[Desire HD General] strauts:
I know, I only need to know whitch radio to flash! For core droid HD v4.5. For baltic.

if any 1 has d u[pdate file of 2.2.1 can u plz pass it on to me i need it very badly plz
[Desire HD General] sroitman:
Anyone had the same problem as me? I download the update, it says that will install, then the phone reboots, a red question mark appears for a few seconds, and it reboots with the same software version as before, without update.

What can it be?
[Desire HD General] xxDaViDxx:
Maybe you remove some stock apps? Anyway, I recommend you to root, eng s-off radio s-off and install any rom you want via cwm
[Desire HD General] sumit1139:
i need the update file of 2.2.1 can any 1 plz provide me with that to my id sumit1139@gmail.com of new base version 1.84.720.3

help will b apprecitated

Try this Instructions on how to restore branded backup, and do s-on
[Desire HD General] rubenswing:
You can't update OTA as you are rooted
[Desire HD General] huxxam:
I'm waiting 2...no update here danmark
[Desire HD General] sroitman:
I am not rooted...
[Desire HD General] rubenswing:
are u using a branded or unbranded phone?
[Desire HD General] devabhishek:
thanks dude.. but i already did it.. using the same method yesterday..
[Desire HD General] nathan57971:
Got the update today.. phones seems to be much faster now.. noticed very few changes.. will be checkin the camera out soon.. happy with the update overall so far.. doesnt seem to be any problems.. :D

cheers
[Desire HD General] smudgelab:
Grrr:mad: UK, unbranded, T mob sim, 1.72 still & no update... Hopefully there'll be a Eurpoean release soon.
[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
This is bloody annoying, unbranded phones should get the update. It only makes sense..
[Desire HD General] giovandrea:
Italy, unbranded, still 1.72. :(
[Desire HD General] Iron Doktor:
Unbranded phone from HK (I'm in Australia) - I had to do 'check for updates' 6 times, but then it finally came up.

Seems to be running very well, phone feels more responsive - I don't like the new overlays on the message icon (used to be green, now it's grey with a green border).
[Desire HD General] Microsaft:
Austria...3 different DHD

1st - debranded show 1.32 and no updates available

2nd - branded show 1.32 and no updates available

3rd - branded show 1.72 and no updates available

:(
[Desire HD General] coinstar:
It won't be an 1.84 OTA for Europe, only branded phones (Orange, Vodafone etc) will get 1.84 OTA. For the rest of us we have to wait till June for Ginger. That's a horrible market policy for HTC!
[Desire HD General] naimmkassim:
Receive the update 2 days ago..HK unbranded..yes, seems much faster and few changes like others had comment.

Anyway, i found out 1 more changes. Before update, my battery temperature will go as high as 39C when browsing using EDGE. But after update, its only stay at 33C and below and im using EDGE, not HSDPA because of my area dont have HSDPA signal.
[Desire HD General] recyclebin2011:
Have HTC confirmed this?

I am on an unbranded with 1.72. The sms notification bug is a pain in the ass.
[Desire HD General] Microsaft:
What if I have a branded phone (Vodafone) in Europe??? :D
[Desire HD General] coinstar:
You have to downgrade to 1.32 following the guide and then wait till June cause 1.84 is only for Asia or for Europe but only branded phones for Europe, or, after you downgrade, you can root and install a custom ROM. Good luck!
[Desire HD General] coinstar:
Look guys, if you are so desperate to install 1.84, Football posted Orange UK OTA Ruu 1.84 since February.
[Desire HD General] igooner:
Anyone with Vodafone (UK) branded got the update yet?
[Desire HD General] dvhttn:
So, are you guessing, or have you heard something official from HTC? If so you seem to be the only person who has so please share the source, and content, of your information.

Many thanks.

Dave
[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
When will 1.84 be released in the UK for unbranded dhd ????, stock with this 1.72 arghhhh
[Desire HD General] wilfredtee:
Unbranded phone in malaysia... Got the update yesterday.

Problems so far...

Was on perm root by visionary... After the update can't get temp root anymore and therefore market enabler no longer working....

Good stuff from the updates so far...

- seems smoother slightly...

- using handcent sms... So I'm not sure about the deal with different colored sms numbers

- battery seems to last slightly longer (needs more testing)

- low light camera seems to work smoother

Unfortunately deal beaker was no more root and market enabler... Will see how long I'll last before I get bored with the free only apps market.
[Desire HD General] aankun:
I got the update in Indonesia and I see the improvement on speaker volume and the self portrait on the camera is working so well. I don't see the other just yet :)
[Desire HD General] dhdhk:
I have dhd from hong kong, stock rom...

Got the update a few days ago, so far seems like the browser is faster and smoother when scrolling. General operation seems snappier... Camera haven't noticed huge difference yet, seems hd video recording is less laggy. Battery life doesn't seem that different so far.

Htc hub is actually working now, and you can find new widgets and themes etc.
[Desire HD General] dhdhk:
Also speaker and ringer volume seem much louder than before...which is great....
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
All very well but where is the ruu so we can root it?

Having an unrooted Android is akin to having a Ferrari that can only do 100 kph.
[Desire HD General] nibs489:
I got updated yesterday to 1.83.415.4 OTA, phone was supplied by Vodafone on day of release so I'm guessing it's branded
[Desire HD General] Sybregunne:
does it have to be the whole thing? or is the downloaded update files enough for people to study how to root this version?
[Desire HD General] rex922:
The update most are talking about are for asia DHDs(im guessing)

thats why people in india and singapore get it
[Desire HD General] Rob.P:
Got 1.84 on a T-Mob branded

I received the update lastnight on my T-Mob phone, it's covered all the improvements it says it does, although my HTC weather has stopped working now and won't update using internet on the phone. Everything else seems to work fine in terms of updating over the internet.

HTC Sense phone locator seems to be workign for me now as well.
[Desire HD General] tony_reilly:
Doubt that. I have the same version, but I got mine direct from HTC for review purposes. Came in a "Demo" box. Completely SIM Free. Got that update last week.
[Desire HD General] Jellzy:
I got my DHD from T-Mobile (UK) on the day of release, but there's no update available (currently 1.72).

It doesn't have the T-Mobile startup splash screen like my family members, but only works with a T-Mobile sim card. Does this mean its unbranded but sim locked?

Thanks.
[Desire HD General] sroitman:
Well, I finally was able to update my phone.

My phone came from India, unbranded. As I was having troubles to install the update after download, I noticed that some stock apps were missing. Thank you xxDaViDxx! I guess that the guys who sold it to me have deleted...not sure.

So I did the root with Visionary, reinstalled the apps, which I found on google and I was able to install, even with root.

I had to uninstall Visionary, it was no more working, but the rest is fine.

I also called HTC and they told me that the updates are being distributed by country and eventually everyone will receive it.
[Desire HD General] Sybregunne:
Is there a way to mount the firmware *.img files from firmware.zip that was included in the OTA file? if so what is their filesystem type?
[Desire HD General] jasjason:
Hi sroitman,

Can you pm me how to restore missing app. Thanks.
[Desire HD General] devabhishek:
the update is only for the india reagion ... but dont loose heart..

you can always load a custom rom.. and as we all know the developers here cook better than the htc developers .. you can go ahead and flash a 2.3.2 gingerbread with sense 2.1 .. leedroid 2.3.4 beta 4 r2 rom .. and i think you will not regret
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
you should not update via OTA if you are running a custom rom.

If the OTA update provides anything usefull at all, your Rom's dev will very likely build it into an updated release of the rom.
[Desire HD General] maarten00:
Still no sign of the OTA update in the Netherlands, glad I didn't wait for it and flashed my own phone to a custom rom without all the terrible problems with deleted text messages and notification problem.
[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
People I've twitted HTC about the update and this is what they said "@MoBadr1 The timing can vary for carrier/region. The update should come shortly. Thanks for your patience."
[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
Do you have an official information saying its for Indian region only???
[Desire HD General] samsenteur:
Let's hope then...

Still no update for my SFR/vodaphone french DHD... So I'm stuck with their buggy 1.72 (sms notification issue)
[Desire HD General] nibs489:
Maybe Vodafone never got the chance to get their dirty mits on it before sending it out to the preorder customers :)
[Desire HD General] ViDtje:
I'm also getting nothing on my unbranded DHD in Belgium.
[Desire HD General] Djisss:
Well, some people seem to have the OTA update in UK (see the previous page of this thread ; Rob.P & tony_reilly).

Keep crossing fingers, I'm sure it will be coming soon... or not ^^
[Desire HD General] kudoboi:
Singapore here... SG and malaysia and india recieved the update few days back already
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Count Philippines in, we received the update a few days back also.
[Desire HD General] Sybregunne:
Hi I had the OTA a few days back. I was perm-rooted with hboot eng s-off and radio s-off and with clockwork mod working. it seemed that clockwork mod was interfering with the updates so I flashed a stock recovery image downloaded somewhere from xda.

anyway I didn't s-on (radio and eng hboot) and didn't unroot. I was able to do the updates. Everything is working fine except my gps.

The GPS doesn't seem to see any satellite let alone get a fix. anybody has this problem?
[Desire HD General] Wardy257:
My updated this morning (on Orange, UK and unbranded) and the 3G does not seem to be working very well. All indications are that it is connected but I get connection errors etc. Anyone else have this problem?
[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
VPN?

I'm unbranded and still on 1.32. No OTA for me. I purchased my phone in Dubai and am currently using it in Kuwait. I have a couple of questions:

1- Do DHD's have different regional models? Is the hardware identifiable as an Asian or European model to HTC? (How can I tell which version mine is?)

2- Can I use a VPN and fool the phone into thinking I'm in Singapore or India, and be able to get the OTA that way?

Sorry if the above questions seem silly, I'm a n00b. :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] Sybregunne:
1. yep they are regional.
[Desire HD General] coinstar:
You're sure that your phone is unbranded, cause I haven't heard of any Ota for unbranded phones in Europe?
[Desire HD General] allajunaki:
Android Revolution HD 3.2 uses Kernel from Build 1.84.61. So if any of you are on Rooted DHD with custom ROMS, you should be on the latest release anyway.
[Desire HD General] dao:
Just come across this topic, not been on here for a while:

I'm on stock ROM from Orange UK and got the update some time ago (a few weeks though don't remember the exact date).

At the time I was in touch with Orange for kind of miss-selling me the contract I was on. It came with email subscription included in the price via their own app (on the DHD it was supposed to be the Mail app) however, there own app was not included with the phone and I was subsequently told it wouldn't work with the desire HD

During our exchanges I received the OTA update (to 1.84.....) but also noticed that I now had the Mail app by orange and that the original 'Mail' app - which was HTC's own had now become 'Mail by HTC'

At the time I just assumed it was just an update for my phone to include the missing features on which the phone was sold but reading on, apparently not.

It did seem snappier and checking, I do have the self portrait in the camera - though as I don't really use the camera I don't know if it was there before.

I can say I haven't seen any improvement in the battery - mine lasting for just over a day and there's been no improvement in volume - still one of the quietest phones I have owned.

I'd be interested in finding out if any other Orange DHD users had the Mail app pre installed or not
[Desire HD General] coinstar:
You have the mail app from Orange because your phone is branded by Orange.
[Desire HD General] Wardy257:
As far as i know it is unbranded, I bought the phone straight out. A restart fixed the 3g issue.
[Desire HD General] springy:
Wardy257, can you put your version no... if you are unbranded you should be on 1.84.707.2. Anything other you are branded

Also I got this from HTC:
[Desire HD General] Djisss:
Juste to blow up those who believe the OTA is only for Branded DHD, here is what we can read in HTC's asian page :

So we just have to wait... (crossing fingers we wont be forgoten ^^)
[Desire HD General] Hissing Syd:
I upgraded two days ago, on a branded UK TMobile DHD, and am having similar problems.

My normal data access is OK, so I can browse, and receive emails as per normal, but my weather has stopped updating. On the home page, it says "Current location" rather than my real location. If I tap the weather symbol, the weather page shows my real location, but it will not update the weather. I get a message "The connection dropped while your weather information was downloading. Try downloading again?" Needless to say, when I try again, it doesn't work.

But I can then go straight on line, to prove that my data connection is OK.

So, for me, the OTA upgrade has screwed up my weather.
[Desire HD General] jbgeorge1972:
T-Mobile Stock DHD

I have updated to 1.84 and my weather has stopped working and Google goggles does not work either.

anyone have an answer how to get the weather to work, spoke to HTC they have logged it as a bug but nothing will happen until they get more calls, emails or chat live with them.
[Desire HD General] marleyb:
anyone with nonbranded update can share it? should be in your update folder on your sd. Prolly it is the only file in the update folder on sdcard, should be in ace.1.84.720.3.bla bla convention. btw file is deleted after installation , so copy it to your puter before installing the update.

thx so much
[Desire HD General] dadon123:
Name of the zip would be helpful
[Desire HD General] marleyb:
prolly the only file in the update folder on sd, should be in ace.1.84.720.3.bla bla convention. btw file is deleted after installation i think.

thx bud
[Desire HD General] dadon123:
Yes the file is deleted. Maybe someone who recieves it should go into there sd card before installing the update, and copy the file onto their computer to upload. I am from the UK myself and am looking for the update.
[Desire HD General] Sybregunne:
I have it do you want it? Its for singapore unbranded.

This is the file's name:

OTA_Ace_hTC_Asia_WWE_1_84_707_2-1_32_707_5_release_1719604hivhsnoi0e86w14.zip
[Desire HD General] marleyb:
Even though it's the asian version I would love to check it out to see if it's usable on europian version, if you can up it somewhere? http://www.megaupload.com etc Would be nice, thx :)

Ahoy!

I am expecting to receive my O2X tomorrow, and obviously looking forward to it. I've been trying to find a screen protector (and case ala casemate..) but so far havent been able to find any ready for delivery in Denmark.

While googling, I came across an unboxing video which seems to show a screen protector fitted from the factory??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgzQMyKJh8A

Can someone please confirm that a screen protector is already fitted when unboxed?

Also, any recommendations for a decent case for the O2X? I use a casemate barely there for my hd2, but havent been able to find similar cases for O2X yet.

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] Mafs:
My LG Optimus 2X Speed shipped with T-mobile from the Netherlands has a screenprotector on it.

Have been using it since last thursday and it's still on, and I'm not having any intention of taking it off :)
[LG Optimus 2x] PartyBent:
Same for mine (Telmore Denmark)
[LG Optimus 2x] rQvsnaps:
Thanks!

Thanks for the info, much appreciated - Guess I can stop googling and wait for cases to show up in webshops eventually :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Convel:
If you want something like the casemate, I would have gone for the official LG CCH-120 (which also has a kickstand). I'm looking for something to protect my LG Optimus 2X when moved around as well, but I'm more of a pouch guy. I wouldn't want to cover such a beauty! :p I found a neoprene pouch with a closing flap at Amazon.co.uk which would've fitted nicely, but they don't ship outside of the UK. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] rQvsnaps:
Yeah saw the CCH-120 and seems nice, but unknown delivery dates in denmark at the moment - will probably buy it later on when its released.

If I occasionally drop my phone its usually while im using it, making a pouch kinda pointless for me unless it lands on it :)
[LG Optimus 2x] LordGabriel:
The O2X that 3 sells also comes with a screenprotector pre-fitted onto it. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Hojou:
So did mine is got from callme. I pulled it off, those protectors look even worse than scratches...
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
It is just for packaging and just remove that stuff not needed with gorilla glass anyway ;-)
[LG Optimus 2x] stalk-r:
thats not a screenprotector! Its just protection for shipment! Its on all phones just look @ some more unboxings.
[LG Optimus 2x] Aduck79:
Why use a screen protector when the O2X got Gorilla Glass? :rolleyes:

See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12149911&postcount=15
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
lol - so true.

It's a crap plastic film that distorts the picture. Every phone made with a screen since 1990 comes with one... :rolleyes:

Remove it immediately, it offers no practical protection for day to day use, it's to prevent minor scuffs in the box.
[LG Optimus 2x] fen_nyc:
IMHO, I don't like paying for phone insurance so I'll usually case up my phone & screen protect it. This is my preferred company for screen protectors.
[LG Optimus 2x] Moedot7:
Its way too bloody expensive. I am not a soldier.

Go to Google Shopping and search for:

"LG Optimus 2X 3 Pack LCD Screen Protector Guard"

DONT remove the speech marks.

If you can't find it go to G5-Online DOT com

I paid total £1.79 for three screen protectors. What else do you want for a bit of plastic.

Military grade plastic my arse.
[LG Optimus 2x] SolidAudio:
I use Zagg invisibleSHIELD on my X2. Its great.
[LG Optimus 2x] Giiar:
I always thought that gorilla glass could not be scratched with metallic materials. But when put against a rock it will still scratch. Or is this info wrong??
[LG Optimus 2x] baste07:
if you do it hard enough or at the right point, it will scratch
[LG Optimus 2x] Stikkontakt:
Nobody here heard of ebay?

There are a lot of screen protectors and cases there. Just keep in mind they are often mislabeled SU-660 products, so have a good look at the pictures before you buy.

Screen protectors with a hole for the physical home button is for SU-660. Silicone covers with a hole in the corner next to the power button is for SU-660, will fit P990, but will have a useless hole in the corner. P990 covers usually don't have holes for power button and volume buttons.

If you prefer using screen protector, I would recommend buying more than the included one, as a plastic film isn't everlasting..
[LG Optimus 2x] Mbrekekele:
Oh my, do you think my O2X must have screen protector to avoid that scratch?

Can you explain more about "hard enough" and "at the right point"?

Thx before.. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] torespen:
the brand "copter" has got a screen protector... feels kinda similar to invisible shield, but its just for the front... its good thou... washable..

I protect the back/sides of the phone with a sillicone sleeve :)
[LG Optimus 2x] indyjones83:
I had fitting prlblem just with the first 3M screen protector I bought on ebay (10€ each)

Now I'm using a cheap one, bought on ebay, and it's better than 3M's.. no scratches, harder (and so better for scrolling) and well cutted!
