I called HTC support in Egypt about 10 days ago to ask about the update and they confirmed HTC Legend Froyo update is available with version 3.30.466.6 and the update is rolling in batches by the phone IMEI, please has anybody got this update? my phone is showing "Your phone is up to date" !!!
There is an update available already for 1.27.466.7 to 3.30.466.6 but we don't have the original ROM to make a custom ROM or extract the Arabic support!

I called HTC Support to tell them about the problem with updating to Froyo, they told me: I have either update the phone within Safe Mode or take the phone to Support Center in Cairo and they will update it manually within 2 hours.
I guess there is a missing update my phone needs to get: 1.27.466.5 to 1.27.466.7 and that must be manually updated.
I hope this helps some one out there.
I have the same problem. so what is the solution only going to the software support for them to update.
You have two options actually:
1. Wait the update to come to your phone
2. Go to the support center and do the update
I went to the support center and upgraded my phone to froyo, It took 2 hours, and they did for free, I'm now a happy FroYo phone owner .
My phone now has SW# 3.30.415.6
Remember to backup all your data and apps before you go, they will do a factory data reset to the phone.
Working hours of the support center is from 11AM to 6PM.
Can you softroot it and make a dump of /system.

I tried already using "Universal Androot 1.6.2 beta 5", did not work, do you have another way that is compatible with FroYo 2.2?
Download Tools.zip
We will need to do a backup of the SYSTEM partition of your phone.
1- Use VISIONary to temp root your phone but make sure USB Debugging is enabled for it to work.
2- Extract the Tools.zip to c:/tools
3- use CMD command prompt and type below commands
cd c:\tools
4- push busy box to your phone
adb push busybox /data
adb shell chmod 755 /data/busybox
5- make a copy of the system parition
adb shell
su
/data/busybox tar -cv -f /sdcard/system.tar /system
6- finally upload the system.tar file from the root of your sdcard.

I guess he will have to push it to /data/local or /data/local/tmp directory:
Code:
adb push busybox /data/local
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/busybox
...and execute it from there:
Code:
adb shell
su
/data/local/busybox tar -cvf /sdcard/system.tar /system
Ok I'll try all of that, but I have 2 questions:
1. Is this a softroot and will go away once I restarted my phone?
2. Does this will collect my personal data with it when I TAR the system partition?
1. Yes.
2. No.

Call HTC call center, not Vodafone's, and you just need to ask the right questions.

Hi all,
It is the stock XXJVK (Gingerbread) internet browser modified to open more than 4 windows.
Actually you can visit up to 16 different web site at the same time but you'll probably miss memory before
Note:
Once you reach the 8th windows, continue to press the "new button" and it will open an extra new window even thought that the counter will not display more than 8
For those who remain in froyo,see my thread for XWJS8:
[MOD] increased Stock XWJS8 browser limit
to install :
-copy the apk to your sdcard
-Delete the old Browser.apk in /system/app
-Place the new Browser.apk in there
Note:
Don't forget to be superuser and to mount the partition as read-write :
for stock kernel :
$su
#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
#cp /sdcard/Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
#exit
$exit
for CF-ROOT kernel, (thanks to ramad)
su
stop (phone will freeze, that's OK just move on)
busybox mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
cp /sdcard/Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
exit
exit
adb reboot

Hi,
Do you mean you did not use the whole line (mount....) ?
So , your /system partition could permanently be mounted as read write.
Are you using any tools or specific rom ?

There are plenty of extra window modded browsers that do tho. The author of this thread made a js8 version I believe that will work

Hi,
REMEMBER
FIRST OF ALL, do a Nandroid backup, as well as a backup of your sd-card content !
You're doing this at your very own risk, I'm not to be held responsible if something goes wrong
Now that said, let's get going
In case somebody wants to check it out, here is the swap activation script I wrote (attached) as well as explanations on how to make it all work :
1) Partition your sd-card (Minitool Partition Wizard, 4ext, CWM...)
2) Boot your system with the partitionned sd-card
3) If necessary customize the 99swap script (attached to this post) and then put it onto your sd-card's root folder, you'll need it while executing the commands in step 4.
4) Open a terminal and type the following
NB: Change "mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3" accordingly to point to the swap partition you've created in step 1.
5) Reboot your phone, start a terminal again and type free, you'll need to see something different than 0 in your swap line, look at the attached print-screen
Swappiness will be set to 50 by the script, which is a rather conservative swap use, made sense to me since SD-swap is slower than ram, better not to use it too agressively. Feel free to experiment with the swappiness variable in the script (values between 0 and 100, 0 meaning "try not to swap", 100 meaning "try to swap all the time")
If you want to try and have a question, just let me know !

Hi JP,
This is a gem of a post! Thanks alot for the script and the detailed breakdown. Before I get into it though, I must warn you that I am more of a beginner with no coding/scripting experience (I don't know how to use adb or anything)...
Here's what I'm trying to do: I'm trying to activate hard-swap on my hd2 (currently) running the ParanoidAndroid by Xylograph. I've created 3 partitions on my 16gb class 6 sd card: first, fat32 (32k cluster), next, 1GB ext2 (default), 500MB swap.
Procedure:
1. I extracted the script and copied it directly to system/etc/init.d folder of the Rom (I looked at the terminal commands you posted and the first few lines looked like copying the file from the sd root to the init.d folder (it was just a guess though), so I figured might as well put it into the rom before I flash it)
2. Flashed the rom
3. To activate it, I typed the following into the terminal:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
mount -o remount,ro /system
exit
after the mkswap command, I did get an activation notification that a certain amount was assigned to swap. But my celebrations were cut short after I rebooted and used the free command to check. The entire swap row still read 0.
I was wondering if you can point me in the right direction... thanks!
Also, is there a way to create a cwm flashable version?

Thanx
In fact you understood correctly that is was about copying the file to init.d.
By the way, these commands do the following :
mount -o remount,rw /system - Mount system partition in read-write
mount -o remount,ro /system - Mount system partition in read-only
So to format the swap partition "mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3" there was no need for it, but it didn't harm in any way, so you're fine there
I guess what is missing is the "chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/99swap" command which will set the correct file access to the script so it can get executed at boot.
You might do the following in a terminal :
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/99swap
mount -o remount,ro /system
exit
It should be fine then.
Alternatively you could set the rights with your file explorer (in root explorer mode), they must be "rwxr-xr-x" (which is Read-Write-Execute, Read-Execute, Read-Execute), most file-manager will allow you to do that as well.
I've been working on the script variant for htc Sensation, it is more advanced, dynamic so it can find the swap partition by itself.
I'll make a CWM flashable as soon as I get to it that will handle everything except partitioning the SD card, obviously, for both devices.
As soon as I'm done I'll post the HD2 version here as well (very little change, between both devices, just the access path to the sd-card partitons to change (=1 line in the script).
JP.
Edit ------------------------------------------------
I just reread your post, if in fact you put it into the ROM zipfile, then file access should be correct !?
Could you post the following file (if it exists) :
/data/swap.0.log ?

Hi JP
You are incredibly helpful and I appreciate it!
I finally got some time off and tried out what you mentioned... but to no avail. I applied the necessary permissions through the terminal (chmod 755) as well as through the root browser, but it was still the same. After that I even retried the terminal commands, and included the "chown 0:2000...", but that didn't work either...
... and then I saw your post update...
About that, i just typed it into the terminal, and I got "not found".
Was that what I was supposed to do?

How did you partition the card ? CWM ?

I made my partition using freeware called Minitool partition wizard. Is 500mb too big for swap in your opinion? I was thinking of compensating for zram, and hence the size... thanks for your speedy responses...

Hmm ... strange, the content of the file looks like a logcat ?! Not what I was expecting to see
Give me a little hour, and I think I should be done with the flashable hard-swap and we'll go from there
Minitool is excellent, but did you pay attention to only create "primary" partition ? If it is a logical partition it won't work...
Can you insert your SD card into your card reader, start Minitool an post a print screen of it ?
JP.
EDIT :
About size ... I believe 256Mb is enough, even read somewhere t shouldn't be more than 256, but I think there was no specific reason given.

Here we go...
Minitool image attached... I typically pay attention to the partition type and made sure both of them were primary
About the logcat, I suspect you're right... I was trying to do one from my pc for the first time using adb and tried the only few commands I know (mkswap...), I think that's what you saw then...
Incidentally, do you feel if I reduce the swap size, the script has a better chance at surviving the boot?

Hi xda-developers before read my long story sorry for my bad english and I hope you can help me…
I bought this phone recently and because I don't feel comfortable with EMUI I decided to do some modding. I rooted the phone successfully, remove some apps, install a new launcher and at this point everything was fine then i decided to install XPOSED FRAMEWORK.
I didn´t know that Huawei phones has so many problems with Xposed but I took the risk to follow Xposed installation instructions of another Huawei model. I'll write the instructions that I followed.
I changed ro.config.hwtheme in build.prop to 0, reboot and everything was fine
Then I installed a console app to use this commands:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd system
lsattr
chattr -R -i *
rm –f /system/set_immutable.list
But when i used lsattr and chattr the console display COMMAND NOT FOUND then I read an alternative to that commands.
Code:
chmod –R –i *
I have a little experience with Linux but I had never seen the “-i” modificator on chmod and the console too xD it displays
Code:
“bad mode not valid –i command”
or something similar.
Finally in a moment of stupidity I executed this command
Code:
chmod –R 777 *
I Reboot, Huawei logo then black screen, I remove the baterry, reboot and the same…
Well I only have the default Android recovery on the phone…
I found a ROM but that ROM is for the Huawei Y625-U32 I tried to modify this ROM removing the getprop lines on update-script and resinging the rom with APK SIGN but always trying to flash the signature verification fails.
Finally i read apart of the 3 files that generates APK SIGN in the META-INF folder (cert.rsa, cert.sf and manifest.mf) inside com/android exists other certificates files (otacert and metadata) and this files are related with the file /security/etc/otacerts.zip inside the phone but with Android recovery everything is complicated.
Well after my long story anybody can help me? I thought of these possible solutions:
Anybody can share me a backup ROM (update.App file) of this model (I know is a bit heavy to upload 700MB aprox.)
Help me modifying the Y265-U32 ROM to pass the frustrating signature check of Android Recovery (of course if at the end would be safe to mod that ROM or not )
Or any other suggestion please XDA Friends and thanks in advance.
P.D. I want to try all possibilities before send to technical service besides that the model was released recently (April 2015) and I dont know if they can flash it and sorry for my bad english again.
I'm on Colombia and I have the same model, original firmware can be found here: http://consumer.huawei.com/co/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=66735&key4=Y625
This is stock ROM. I recommend you NOT modify your system if you don't know too much.
Hope this helps
