If you are like me, rooted but with stock rom, and tried to update to Froyo with the original google update you probably got this error:
"
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko" . "e594389935893859358938")
E:error in /sdcard/update.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
"
That's because the official google update doesnt work for rooted users.
Then you probably found a developer modded update especially for rooted users, but then when trying to apply it, you get E: signature verification error
That's because the default google recovery tool, doesnt work with non-google signed updates
So you need not just modded update but modded recovery tool as well.
Here is what you do
Install amon-ra recovery tool:

Then you flash Paul's update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686734
And bam you've got Froyo, finally!
p.s.
no wipe is necessary
Any idea if rooted users running stock rom and stock recovery can get 2.2 via OTA updates? It seems like there are so many problems with this Froyo update that I'd rather wait for OTA if I can.
To a clean install of Froyo coming from a Rooted phone:
Do a nandroid backup.
Just change files from a Froyo's
And you got it.

They should be able to, yes, with stock ROM and stock recovery. Simply having an unlocked bootloader should not prevent the OTA update. However, it does not appear that every OTA update will work with every stock ROM, which is why stock AT&T users are SOL for OTA until Google sends out one specifically for them.
I get FroYo FRF50 installed but that's where it stops... same issue as always when I go higher with either RFR 50 or 83.
Please help!! >.<

Clockwork does not currently support flashing radio. You will need to use PB31IMG.zip to perform a full RUU to the leaked OTA 2.1 firmware. Afterwards, run unrevoked3, then apply the leaked 2.2 rom.

Ok already did the pb31img. The instructions posted here said to update the radio ota before loading the 2.2 Rom... should the radio update be omitted ? I thought I read earlier that if the new 2.2 leak was applied before updating radio there would be problems with cam. Ect. Not working ...

Okay, just to clarify, you are running BONE STOCK, with stock recovery.
Does your error look like this?
http://img812.imageshack.us/i/img3017b.jpg/
If so, go ahead and boot up your device with bone stock 2.1, and make sure the exchange update is applied. If not, you should get prompted for an OTA. Install that OTA, then retry the radio update.
I haven't applied any updates yet... never got prompted for an ota update yet... bone stock 2.1 with stock recovery. I did the P311.img which unroots if I'm not mistaken. Did wipe after the p311.img . Is there some way to force the ota ? Btw how do I apply exchange update?
Thanks for the suggestions... I figured it out.. I renamed the file as update instead of update.zip .retired and it worked perfectly... loaded 2.2 through clockwork... froyo happiness ! thanks again
Hello mates,
I have a rooted wildfire with Wildpuzzle ROM v2.2. My recovery image is the Clockwork Recovery.
I want to load the Stock Froyo, now that app2SD is possible without root.
(App2sd is the only reason rooted).
I tried flashing the RUUxxxxx.exe file ,but got the error cannot upgrade your phone.
I found that signing key of the custom recovery is the causing the problem and that I have to get the Stock Recovery. And only then I will be able to run the RUUxxxx.exe file for Stock Froyo 2.2.
Can anyone tell me how I can do it ?
It will be of great help if any one can share an original "recovery.img" .
Also I am having trouble with fastboot becuase I have S-ON in bootloader.
Make a gold card. Flash stock RUU. Flash 2.2 RUU. Done! Look up a guide of making goldcard on xda or modaco.

So you dont need the root anymore?
Then you should download from shipped-roms.com a WWE that is eclair run the .exe on ur pc and when its done go to (in ur phone) to the updates section and OTA upgrade to non-rooted official froyo!
(Htc Buzz:wildfire WWE is under the windows mobile section for some reason xD)
Hi,
I've previously rooted my Desire Z using the guides shown here and here
I've read that the latest HTC firmware 1.72 ROM doesn't work with this root method. I'm not sure what my current HTC firmware version is, though system settings shows that the software number is 1.34.707.5.
I've just received notification of an OTA update with the following update:
Update: Improve system performance and Camera feature enhancements 43.46 MB
I'm not running any custom ROM, still using HTC Sense, just rooted it.
If I want to apply the OTA update, I assume I need to unroot and return my phone to its original state? How do I do that?
Also, a few other questions:
Will the apps that require root access cease to work once I unroot my phone?
Will I need to uninstall these apps or will they just not work?
Is there a new method of rooting the new HTC ROM?
Thanks!
you are on 1.34 (software number is 1.34.707.5) and once you are rooted and S-OFF you can re-root after moving to 1.72
That update sounds like 1.82 however, and I am not sure if that works. I am running 1.82 rooted but I flashed the whole update from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960149 (without wiping so I didn't lose any data).
Probably would recommend you do the same!
Oh, missed some questions:
You don't need to remove root to flash an update, but the update will remove your root
and if you lose root your apps that require it just won't work. Don't have to uninstall but since they don't work, well????
Thanks! I'm a ROM noob...how do I flash that update on my rooted 1.34 ROM Desire Z?

If I were you, i'd look into getting ClockworkMod installed and flash a custom ROM that has 1.8x already prerooted for you. That way, if you ever wanted to go back to your factory rom, you have the NANDroid backup from CWM!
Have fun!
OK, I have ClockworkMod installed. Do I just download the custom ROM into my sdcard and use CWM to flash it? How do I create a NANDroid backup?
Could someone please point me in the direction of where I can get the Evo 4G 4.22 stock recovery image?
Stock recovery is no recovery,what exactly are you looking for?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I am rooted and have CWM installed. I am looking to put back the stock 4.22 recovery so I may install the the 4.24 OTA update.
I like to keep my Rom stock and prefer to install updates via OTA.
If you take the 4.24 OTA you will no longer be "rooted" Look for one of the rooted ROMs and flash it
Yeah,what he said
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I am using the Unrevoked root method and no update (3.70,4.22) to date has unrooted my phone.
I have simply been restoring the current version of the stock recovery, which I have previously found on the internets, and then running the OTA update as normal. Once done I install CWM and the latest SU updates. Works great.
I would like to perfrom this method once agian to install the 4.24 update and all I need is the 4.22 stock recovery.
If you don't want to be rooted anymore, then just accept the OTA - it'll override your current recovery with the stock recovery, which is actually a lack of recovery.
But as others have said, you won't be able to root again unless you've ran unrevoked or unrevoked forever and remain s-off. In that case, you'll have to flash a recovery and then flash the rooted version. So if you want to stay rooted, you might as well go ahead and do that. You should be able to just wipe cache and dalvik and install, so the end result will be the same but you'll be rooted.
I hope that made sense...

You probably want this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133379
This is the actual update, but rooted, so you can keep your CWM recovery, get the latest update that was made OTA, but remain rooted. You don't want to just accept the OTA if prompted, your root will go away.
Once you've downloaded it (and the radio update as well), follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14933526&postcount=31
Thats the problem. I cannot install the OTA 4.24 update with CWM installed, nor can I install the update manually, via renaming and then update method, as it will error out during install.
OTA updates will only install if the proper stock verion of recovery in installed, hence I really need the 4.22 recovery.
Installing OTA updates when using Unrevoked does not change S-OFF, it only overwrites SU which can be easily reinstalled. I know as I rooted my evo way back when it was version 3.26 using unrevoked 3 and have installed every OTA update since using this method and still have S-OFF
Thanks, but I do not need to go that route. My method will update as normal and I wont have to wipe my phone.

And you won't be rooted anymore. There are only about 3 thousand posts telling people this, and most AFTER they found out the hard way. There are stock Rooted ROMS based on the recovery, as in STOCK! but still rooted, and up to date.
BTW, there are also a lot of posts detailing how the OTA made their phones worse, but if you want to be a hard head, go ahead and bury yourself, but don't come back crying when you figure out.
how come every other incompetent noob can manage to get their phone back to stock and permanently locked/unrooted, yet I cannot manage this feat intentionally?
if I intentionally flash the 4.22 zip from shipped-roms will this eliminate my root and recovery?
well install the 4.22 update from recovery didn't work... it aborted with some error.
ARGHHH!!! SOMEONE HELP ME LOCK MY PHONE PLEASE!!!
I appreciate the heads up, but if done correctly, it does work and has worked great for me the past few OTA updates.
I am aware of all the potential problems and am not the only one successfully installing OTA updates on a rooted evo and staying rooted.

Bottom line is if you change back to S-ON, and apply the OTA you lose root forever (or until Unrevoked finds a new backdoor). If you leave S-OFF then you can downgrade, and reload a recovery. The stock ROM's you'll find here (ex. Sprint Lover's) are stock, and rooted. They pretty much the same thing you get over the air. Don't be a lid..
I downloaded a from shipped roms the last rom for my evo and downloaded the s-on tool. Ran the tool then connected my phone to the computer and ran the RUU i donloaded. Fully stock unrooted locked phone
I am a noob
First learn the correct terminology for what you are tying to achieve. There is no 4.22 recovery that you can just flash, there is a 4.22 ROM and a 4.22 RUU.
Then check out the WIKI and FAQs these both contain the info you are looking for .
Not trying to be mean. Just do some research before you mess up your phone and come here asking for stuff that doesn't exist.
4.22 ROM = just the ROM
4.22 RUU = .exe that runs on your PC to FLASH your PHONE with new radio, recovery, hboot, rom, etc

This is what you want to do to get to the latest OTA STOCK no root
* if you leave S-Off you can re-root *
