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.

Just wanted to put that out there. If not one else puts out a better rom based on OTA tomorrow, I'll release it.
Its just bare OTA with su/superuser.apk.

Thanks jcase! Will be testing tomorrow. Don't forget to rm /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip

So once again... no root for us that went to the 2.1 leak?

Nope. In order to flash a new rom without root, the HTC signature needs to be valid. In order to preserve root, the rom was modified by jcase to include su which breaks the signature hash. So, while you will be able to update to the official OTA update (assuming version is higher, which I believe to be the case), you can't install this rom.
Since most people will be updating to the OTA 2.1 away from the leak or away from 1.5, I'd personally recommend installing the OTA 2.1 directly from HTC. We'll likely be targeting it for root exploits next and abandoning version 1.5.

To be clear, install the otaroot rom released by jcase if you already have root. Install the OTA rom direct from HTC if you currently have the leaked 2.1.

Thanks for the clarification. I really appreciate it. Can't wait for OTA root
The new 2.1 is exactly what I wished the last leaked 2.1 would have been. Its working so much better with no noticeable lag at all.
Thanks again guys!
wipe data
I have root now and am currently running the .3 rom, question
1. is this just an update to what i am running now?
2. Do i need to preform a wipe?
3. if i dont wipe does the phone maintain all my apps and settings i.e email google etc?
Damn, I was just uploading my all-in-one batch script and then I noticed this had been released... I started making a rom of it, then I noticed you already did! hah!
Thanks for being a night owl and already doin the work jcase. I'm gonna incorporate this into the all-in-one script.
mv error: cross-device link
i have updated this rom, works great!
bu i can't mv from /system/app to /sdcard
error message is "cross-device link"
but i had already remount the /system partion as rw, and i notice that rm is working fine - i can remove files in /system/app, but can't move to another directory!
before update to this rom, mv is working correct
any advice?
btw, there is no busybox in this rom

same problem here. you can copy files and then remove the source. that's what I've been doing for my moves. As for busybox, I installed it myself, but I'm sure someone (if not me) will release an update.zip to install it sooner rather than later.

I tried install busybox myself, but it dosn't work. this is my steps:
adb push busybox /sdcard/
adb shell
remount /system
mv /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin
failed
adb shell
remount /system
switch to another console
adb push busybox /system/xbin
failed
and, there is no "cp" command, I didn't find another way to copy from /system/app to /sdcard/
Wipe??
I just want to reiterate denonlake's question, does installing rooted OTA 2.1 require a wipe of DATA and CACHE partitions like the original root process? Can we preserve settings through this flash or is it best to go through the whole setup process again?
The mv and cp commands are in busybox. I did not install busybox, so you don't have them. The Toolbox that comes with the OTA is lacking them.
Install busybox yourself, or wait for grdlock or ivan's release.
in case anyone is interested, the Messages app bug and cell standby bugs are fixed in this release too (as well as the already known gmail login bug fix) the phone also seems to power down a lot faster than previous leaks.
havent tested google voice yet, probably cant till later today. someone else feel free..

I first tried installing from zip through recovery.
This did not appear* to work.
Next, wiped device and cache, then installed zip through recovery.
Success!
*My experience is limited. Maybe it did work, but nothing on the phone appeared changed.
Ok so this is just a rooted version of the Official OTA 2.1 right??? Nothing else has been done to it??

It's in the livewallpapers.apk. I replaced the one in DJDroid with the one from cyanogenmod6 and that worked. So I'm sure you can use the one from the leaked sense 2.2 rom in any random Froyo rom.
Edit:
I have attached the Livewallpaper files from DjDroid for you.

You need to push it from recovery since you can't get read/write access on the desire because of the weird root.. so just reboot into recovery "adb shell mount /system" then "adb push ...."

Oh wait.. I think you are right, could be I replaced them in the ROM with another one. I don't have the original file anymore, so maybe you can download the DjDroid file yourself and see if it works that way.

apparently, the sense wallpaper isn't in the livewallpaper.apk but in the mode10wallpaper.apk, and you need multiple libraries.

ok, so i finally was able to push the files into my phone and the desire's default bubbles wallpaper is working for me on Defrost 2.0b (which is a 2.2 froyo rom)
I'm attaching the zip file with the appropriate files that need to be pushed into your phone using adb.
use the following code to push the files into phone.
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push system/app/Mode10Wallpapers.apk system/app
adb push system/lib/libicule.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libiculx.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10_wallpapers.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10Graphics.so /system/lib
adb shell reboot
and then you will have HTC Sense wallpaper in your live wallpapers

take everything that is in exploits.zip and move it to your android sdk directory specifically the location of adb.exe (will either be in platform-tools or tools) as for the two RUUs, they can be anywhere but you will have to move them at one point to your SD card. That is about it

On Windows 7 (or XP): hold the Windows Key on keyboard and press R together. Input CMD and hit OK
On Linux: well, you know whats up
On MAC: unplug the computer and toss it out the window.. j/k. This wont work for you though. Follow normal procedure to use ADB in your teminal

Many many thanks! This needs to be in new thread. please post it or I will.
I really liked the darkside ROM, But I soft bricked my phone at least 15 times trying Arabic letters connecting solutions under 2.3.5. So I flashed the Aura ROM missing the quick panel from the Darkside ROM the most.
Not only I have the quick panel now with Aura 2.3.4, the icons also look cleaner/better.
Great job. Thanks to you and Nottach also!

Any chance you upload your version and share it? I'm looking for exactly the same thing and sadly 2.3.5 Darkside ain't providing that.

It's just the latest Aura ROM (found in the development section) + this awesome quick panel MOD.
Aura is based on 2.3.4. I noticed that arabic fonts were connecting properly in the system+browser with Aura ROM as-is. No framework.jar or lebwebcore.is hacks are needed with that ROM.
Root+Battery % icons MOD+No carrier logo MOD+proper Arabic font connecting+this quick panel MOD is pretty much what I want now in my Atrix. Currently happy to have all that.
Not to mention a lot of other plus features Aura ROM adds.
Hi,
I was using this mod on 2.3.4 and it was great! Just upgraded to Android OS 2.3.6 (att build 4.5.141) and it just boot loops until I replace it back with the original. Is there any way to modify this to work on 2.3.6? Or, is there a version around that I'm not finding that will work on 2.3.6?
Thanks!

Hi!
Recieved OTA, official update today. Europe. Do not have the details, as i updated it in a hurry. Still same sense/android version. It was minor (about 6mb) "performance" update.
Anyone have any details on this?
EDIT: The update is version 2.42.405.4

same for me. this the first time i received update while rooted. i downloaded that small update but still did not run it beacuse i am afraid of having S-ON.
The cynic in me think that this may satisfy various insane Apple vs Android things rather than be of any use.
Little sad its not a better version of Android, like 2.3.5.. That would have been nice. I'm happy with Sense 2.1 though.
Any chance of someone grabbing it off their phones and uploading it somewhere?

Update Archive
I've just got this update, and uploaded it here:
www_filedropper_com/otavisiongingerbreadshtcwwe2424054-2424052release258556lmz8pa872xa8ocgl
I can't post it as a link to it as I'm a noob. Oh well.
thanks
It is clearly a Gingerbread update.
My assumption is, it is in the best case Sense 3.5. Maybe not even that
Software Information:
Android Version:2.3.3
HTC Sense Version: 2.1
Build number: 2.42.405.4 CL192788 release keys
never locked Desire Z
It's still Android 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1
But I think it's a really useful update, in my case I am not having Sense restarts anymore (well, just one, after closing Temple Run). The closing app/going back to homescreen process looks really more fluid now.
could someone please check /data/local.prop for ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1??
EDIT: downloaded the file... nothing special found... just a bunch of blindness from all those Ps
Can anyone confirm whether its safe to flash if root / S-OFF?
Thanks in advance!

Through recovery?
I've now had a look through the update.zip and it seems to patch a fair few system apps as well as firmware.zip which contains boot.img, rcdata.img and recovery.img. I'd suggest if these were successfully flashed we'd loose root and S-OFF as well as recovery (CWM or 4EXT).
I'm still really not sure what this update is about..
I have a question. Does this update eliminates resetting Sense?

I have not seen the changelog, but on mine its almost gone. It happens less often after the update, in my opinion. And i also feel its running abit smoother. That might be a placebo effect
I have another bug, gallery not updating new pictures, so have to run sd scan to refresh it. The update did not fix this.

I'd imagine because the certificates to flash have changed... I'm not too hot on Android hacking but depending on how you got root, the certs probably got changed or invalidated. It also looks like it flashes a new kernel which may part of the issue.
However, if you've flashed something like Unity v10 like I have, its still a higher version of kernel provided in the update!

I've not really seen the launcher reload issue at all before.. I've seen apps closed due to low RAM but the system stays rather stable, killing background apps. Maybe they've been playing with the figures from the Supercharger Mod which tweaks this very thing.

I've never had this bug.. on 2.42.405.2
I was offered the update today, and I installed it on my stock Gingerbread Desire Z. As far as I can see nothing much changed, but Windows 7 doesn't seem to find the device anymore when trying to connect it as USB mass storage device. Anyone else seeing this, or could I be having some other problem here?
Cheers,
Rob

i tried but the update failed may be because of S-OFF. i think phone should be s-on in order to run that update.
I just succeeded with the update on my rooted system.
Here is what can succeed for people with stock system, just with superuser+busybox installed.
Note that this update will unroot, so you have to re-install SuperUser ZIP package from the recovery menu.
These commands are needed on Linux system with root privileges (I a not sure, whether update images are UID sensitive.)
Code:
#!/bin/sh
rm -f update.zip
mkdir update
cd update
unzip -XK ../OTA_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.4-2.42.405.2_release_258556lmz8pa872xa8ocgl.zip
mkdir firmware
cd firmware
unzip ../firmware.zip
rm recovery.img
#rm rcdata.img (this part is not needed, most people leave radio and rcdata in random state during the rooting process, this just sets it to value for WWE phones)
rm ../firmware.zip
zip -r ../firmware.zip *
cd ..
rm -r firmware
zip -r ../update.zip *
cd ..
rm -r update
Then flash update.zip from the recovery menu, and then the upper mentioned SuperUser package.
(Note: Not verified! I forgot to add firmware.zip to the image, so I needed to flash system.img separately as PC10IMG.zip.)

If there is anybody with unchanged and unrooted stock system, then it would be nice to provide patched system.img as a strart point for modders.
Steps to do it. (It should be safe.)
1. Have at least 600 MB on the sdcard mounted on the phone (and not on computer).
2. Get fre3vo from the downgrade howto
Run this on your machine with adb:
Code:
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
# Exploit should succeed.
adb shell
# You should get # prompt here
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 >/sdcard/system.img
rm /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
Then reboot for dropping the temp root and post system.img somewhere for others.
Note: It is safe to apply this vendor update even if you plan to root sometimes in future. This update did not patch the security hole exploited by fre3vo, so this utility still works on HTC_WWE_2.42.405.4.
