[Q] Restore to original - now updates not working?

Being my first android phone, I had a play around - used Unrevoked to root the device and install several versions on the Wildfire ROMs, but to be honest I am getting fed up having to re-install everything every time there is a bug fix, so thought I would go back to the stick rom. So I decided to restore my original backup which worked fine, only problem now is there is an update to download and install. When I try to install the update it boots into clockwork recovery and so the update does not go ahead. Any ideas on how so solve this problem? Voda unlocked UK device
BTW:- Thanks for the guys who put all the work into the custom roms, this is not a criticism of their work - its just I want to go back to a fully working system. Cheers

Hi, you have to rename the zip file : "update.zip" and put it on your SD card. Then, you choose it in recovery.

The update is downloaded automatically by the OS it's not something I have downloaded manually - Do you know where the system would download the file?

It downloads to sdcard/downloads folder i think.

I think too

Thanks guys, yes the upgrade was downloaded to that folder - it took a few attemtps to apply but worked.
So if I wanted to get rid of the clockovery pieces will I need to apply one of the RUU shipped roms? There is not one listed for voda (english) but would it be safe to apply the latest WWE ?

Download your rom from there and flash it. Do remember all app, settings and root will be lost if you do this. So don't forget to do backups.

how can i flash it.. it's .exe file. not supposed to be zip file?

If you open the .exe and connect your phone, it will flash itself.
Or you can open it, go to your temp directory and get the .zip from there.

theres no .zip in temp folder.

Updated rooted Wildfire running custom ROM to official HTC OTA update
Hi,
I have managed to update my rooted Wildfire running a custom rom to the official HTC OTA update.
I tried to update my Wildfire by restoring my pre rooted backup. This did nog work. I got error from clockwise. I ran the following steps to succesfull update my phone.
1. Install HTC Sync. For rooting purposes you had to change the Android PC driver. By installing HTC Sync that driver will be restored to the default.
2. Download a shipped rom from the link above.
3. Connect your booted up Android to your pc.
4. Run the shipped rom executable.
5. After the shipped rom is installed you can download Android OTA. By checking for updates.

Can't download
I'm trying to download a stock ROM from the above link but it gets about 7MB into the download then fails. Downloading via chrome or IE it does the same.
Is there another location to get the stock ROM from? That site seems a little naff.

[Q] How to install .0_stable file

Hi everyone,
This is the first time I am rooting and modding a phone since my G1, and I am stuck. I downloaded the rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1221832
When I put the rom in my sdcard, at first it was a *.0_Stable File, and recovery mode did not see it. Then I renamed the extension to .zip and recovery mode saw the file, but installation aborted due to a can't open message.
Any help will be really appreciated and thank you in advance.
edit: I think I had a corrupt download. Now I am re-downloading and it seems to be downloading as .zip. Apologize for this thread.

[Q] Error 7 When installing 2.3.7 from Recovery

Hello XDA Developers! Last time I was here I was hacking a HTC Blue Angel..That was a long time away....I digress
I have this phone which is currently running a 2.3.4 rom and I have ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.5, and when I download any of the 2.3.7 roms this is what happens:
I drag the recovery zip to my phone with no extraction at all and select install zip from recovery menu. It does nothing.
I extract the zip file and end up with recovery.img and a zip file. I drag both to the root of my memory card and then select install zip from my phone. I then get the following error:

I have absolutely no idea what to try from here, the biggest problem i've dealt with thus far was a md5 mismatch...

Try toggling script asserts, or re-download the file.
Also, I suggest updating your recovery to 2.5.1.8.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I toggled script asserts so it was enabled, for the raw unmodified zip file nothing happened, and for the extracted zip file I got an Error seven again
I've tried redownloading the file multiple times, even getting earlier versions of the rom to try.
How would I go about updating recovery? I don't have a functional usb cable at the moment unfortunately but if absolutely neccessary I can hack one up.

I think you should have the asserts disabled to get past the error. (use the extracted zip, which gave you the error 7)
If this does not help, probably best way to go forward is to get a usb cable and try flashing using fastboot

If i understand correct you want to flash stock rom?
Download from asus
Unzip the zip.
you will see a folder named asus and then a zip inside the folder,
Copy the zip that's inside your folder and extract to SD-Card now reboot recovery and flash,
Wipe data/factory reset is always a +1 to not get a boot loop

If that doesnt work copy the file in /asus/update to the root directory and rename it EP101_SDUPDATE then it should go

If that one i provided won't work than i would say the zip were corrupt, and i never got your way to install the zip, pretty strange but i tested it :O
