[Q] Gingerbread 2.3 Status 7 - Desire HD General

My desire HD i bought unlocked from amazon. I rooted my mobile using visionary and rom manager. 2 days ago i got the update for gingerbread 2.36. I downloaded the update and tried to install but the got exclamation mark. I tried to manually update I got error (Status 7). Please help me.

Do you really want to install an OTA update that will remove root?
If not, then you can simply flash one of the many existing rooted Sense based GB ROMs.

Yes I want Install OTA. I don't have a problem of loosing the root. I don't know how and I am new to andriod

Maybe to ask someone in dev section :S try there mate

Strange but each to their own.
Not seen this before, sounds like the update download might have corrupted. But even so, I'd be tempted to hard reset (back everything up - search to find out how) and wait for next window to update.

You need the full stock ROM if you want to update, if you've removed some stock HTC aps (Amazon for example) you'll get that exclamation mark again and you will not be able to update.

I recommend you to read the root/s-off/radio-off/ how to flash a custom rom guide and install a stock gingerbread/sense w.q rom.
This is what you would get with the OTA update despite the.fact, that you still have a rooted phone

I just need to confirm that the above process is working ....

New OTA Xoom Update, but my xoom is rooted, what to do?

I have the same problem. I think I have to follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079504 guide but i'm too lazy/scared to try right now. I might just wait for 4.0 and then see.

Question - If you are rooted this is a no brainer. YOU JUST SAY NO... what ever they are offering you has probably been in the forum as a rom for quite some time. If they are offering you an update it probably means you are running an older rooted rom. Just update to the new rooted one in the development section.

You could download it but I wouldn't recommend it. Best case scenario is you would just loose root. worse case is it won't boot (soft bricked) after install because it's not upgrading a "stock" phone. Pretty sure you will just loose root as tiamat 1.4.4 is not really a true full rom it's just a kernel.
Anyways I recommend you follow the instructions at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979to put on the "right" clockworkmod recovery. and then put on The HammerHead Rom (which is based on 3.2) at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203635 the Hammerhead rom runs perfect for me (and most everyone else). Then put on the 3.2 Overclocked Kernel at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200063
I was basically in your situation and I got all that done and all my 100+ apps reinstalled (using Titanium Pro) and basically everything set back up in about 2.5 hours.
Honestly how much research is done prior to rooting or do some of you just root for the hell of it. This is why there are so many I may of bricked my device threads......

I feel ya playaa... I used to be one of those folks. I did minimal research and just wanted to root to hack a videogame... Then i realized all the wonderful benefits of rooting and roms and spend hours reading new topics on development... But i still have friends that all ask me silly questions all day and one even ugraded ota on their g2 and lost root.. Now they have ginger 2.3.2 i thi k and that cannot be rooted last i checked. I do wonder why people do the minimal searching... I took the time to learn this stuff so why can they... It does get frustrating
Sorry. Not trying toput the OP down.. I mean we all start somewhere, but google and search feature are huge helps =)

And yet you posted in the wrong forum and didn't give us any information to go off (hint, there's a Q&A forum).
So, what did you flash and how, with what options and what messages did you get at all points along the way?
yeah apologies i was in a rush. im rtying to gert it set up and its different from HTC.
i just used the oden and 1 click root. i havent flashed one as of yet because im trying to get CWM bootloader installed on my phone.
so i downloaded the bootloader off the app and flashed it and it said everything was fine. then i tried to reboot into recovery and its just the normal blue samsung bootloader
it said failed installation and it was aborted

Samsung is a bit different from htc, flashed a desire hd of a friend recently and also had to get used to the differences especially in rooting procedure then
The easyiest way to root and get recovery on a samsung galaxy phone is to just flash a custom kernel (e.g. Cf-root) via odin. They come along with cwm already. So actually a lot easier then on a HTC were you have to do two steps
Rom manager doesnt work for me either on galaxy s 2 when it comes to cwm flash.

I had similar "problem" when i came here from HTC I spent good 40 mins by searching XDA on how to get S-OFF untill i gave up and went trough EVERY "how to" thread i could find in SGS2 forums.
After i got everything done, i had good laugh on my self. It's just too easy
BTW i remeber you from Desire Z forums, nice to see you here.

the implications of ROOT

hello!
i just got my N4 a few days ago...
didnt even change a ringtone yet... just downloaded some apps, and costumized the phone a-bit.
i do want to root, because some advanced actions such as recording calls (legal in my country) require root.
i was about to root using the Nexus 4 ToolKit posted here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995688
but when i run it it always says its tookit ver v1.3.0, and a 1.6.0 is avilable, i update but when i re-run it, it says its 1.3 again...
and even if i go past this step and get to the "What build do you have?
the only answer i can pic is 4.2 (JOP24C)
and i own JOP24D (2.4.1) - will this be an issue?
and also - if i root my phone, and lets say androud 4.2.2 comes out a day later, does the phone still update? or do i stop getting updates as soon as im rooted?
TY!

If you get the donate version it will update it so that you can do the 4.2.1 build. I think it was like $5. Well worth supporting the dev

alright cool i don't mind paying 5USD...
but what about the most important things?
does rooting 100% erase evetyhing?
Do i keep getting updates to my phone? or when a new version comes out i have to re-root or something?
It will erase EVERYTHING and you would have to go back to stock to get the OTA or wait for a build to be flashable

If the ROM got OTA (over the air) you can update i guess, not really populair with OTA, but you can download 4.2.2 stock ROM or custom ROM when it comes out.

as of now, unrooted, if 4.3(lets say) comes out tommorow, my device updates, bam.. im 4.3
if i root now, at 4.2.1, the above will not happen? meaning in order to update to 4.3 i will have to lose all my data again?

If you are only rooted and having modified any system files you can OTA successfully.

ashamed to say i didnt really get it.. lol.
you said OTA is "Over the Air", right?
so if i rooted at 4.2.1 (just rooted, no rom or anything), and 4.3 came out do i
1. Have to delete everything AGAIN and re-root on 4.3 to get the update
2. have to find the 4.3 file online and install it somehow
3. do nothing, the phone automatically gets updated
ty =)

Getting root on your device does not delete anything. What deletes everything is unlocking the bootloader (which, at the present time, is required to obtain root). You only have to unlock the bootloader once. Once it is unlocked, getting root is trivial.
Every time you receive an over-the-air update, it will remove your root access, BUT, as I mentioned earlier, getting it back is trivial when your bootloader is unlocked.

The easiest way is to wait for the OTA notification to appear on your device. Then just accept it, and then root again.
I've written up something for the Galaxy Nexus (sticky in the GNex General section), but nothing yet for the N4. The basic premise (and most of the commands) are the same. You can browse through it for some background info.

working market on 2.2.1 asian version. Don't flash for now the update..under testing.

well, it seems to update most apps by a little bit, but what the updates are i am not sure. The thing thats confusing me is that the date stamps are all "wrong". this is dated for september 1st 2008, but if it was new it would be 2014 or similar. best guess is that this was an update for your old rom that you never got before you flashed a custom rom but i dont think its "new" as such. If you wanted to flash it you would need to flash the stock recovery from a ruu as i suspect it wont be compatiable with our edify recovery versions.
well i had updated everything the time when i rooted.

Just flash the stock recovery from fastboot. then run the update from the stock os, afetr the reboot flash clockworkmod recovery.
Also since google dropped support for froyo on the google play store this wont solve that issue
