I've used titanium backup to perm remove a few stock apps, the exchange stock app and amazon app
Now i can't recive any updates OTA, and i get this message..:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Stock.apk"....
E:Error in /sdcard/download/OTA_Ace_HTC_WWE_172_405_3_r2_1_32_405_6_release_1632939lowfu0y78jktpp2.zip

You can't accept OTA updates when you are rooted.
I see, but only used temp root with visionary
is that going to affect something?
Or what are my options to get a hold of updates in the future, a costum rom instead? I do kinda like the stock rom, just without stock apps
anyone?
Once again, if you are rooted, it doesnt matter how, you CANNOT accept ota update.
If you deleted something you shouldnt have, then restore the backup to that, or do a factory reset and re-root.
Ok i just figures since it was TEMProot that it didn't matter. Tnx for the reply, tried the factory default option (no luck), is there any place where I can get the Stock firmware to re-flash the phone?
Or would anyone in here recommend another rom ? Tons of custom roms, as I can tell.
Thread moved in Desire HD General.
go here and youll find your rom that you need,
you need the ones that are "RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE" in the file name, as these are what we call World Wide Editions
Thank you very much.
Just to make sure I do not **** something up, what are the steps i should follow, to install the rom?
This is what I did: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888109
Got the same problem -- some time ago I removed some "useless" apps from my /system/app folder, and when 1.72 update was released I wasn't able to install it in any way (I was trying to follow this guide). I restored the missing apps, and then everything went fine using the guide mentioned above!
Hope this helps.

Sorry but that ain't correct... You *can* update your phone if you're rooted, the main problem is that root will be gone after update. The best solution is to *always* reject OTA updates provided by HTC and wait until devs here have found a safe way to update your device without losing root privileges.
Thank you
Thank you all, it gave perfectly sense since I'm quite happy with the stock firmware, i'll stick with this. The root is not so necessary for me at least for now
I'm glad it was corrected that visionary did not remove the ability for OTA, that was also what I've read before used it.
Hi Guys,
Now we are waiting to update to 2.3.3?
How should we backup all data & whats the method to update??
I m in SG & my phone is rooted, can it be updated directly or I need to flash???
if your bootloader is also unlock,
first you may flash(using flashtool) the new hongkong ROM(LT15i_3.0.1.A.0.145_Hong Kong.ftf)
after that, you may proceed to fastboot the hongkong ROM image file(LT15i_3.0.1.A.0.145_Hong_Kong_system.img)
- that exact procedure worked for me (was using global .181 ROM before this new hongkong ROM)
the files i mentioned are given on other recent thread, easy to find and you may just find the from there
and for backing up all your user apps, you may use Titanium backup, then restore it once u flash the new hongkong ROM

thanks man, but I will wait for proper update in SE..my main worry is that my phone is ROOTED, how should I update once updates available in SG.
Also before updating (i assume that I need to flash my phone as its ROOTED), if I take backup with Titanium Backup, then it (TitBackup) will also be removed, then how will I recover my data after updating..
Sry if I asked something stupid

even if u wait for the proper update, the new firmware cant b rooted by using gingerbreak atm..
but its not a prob if u already unlock ur bootloader... u can try this first, n then when official rom for ur region is out, u can flash it back.. of coz its a hassle though..

after flashing and rooting,
you have to redownload the titanium backup apps from the market then install and it will still able to detect the backup file stored previously from your sd card (under "TitaniumBackup" folder).
and of course you still have to install also the busybox app for titatnium backup to work.

I've a exact thread and I'm in your situation!
I'm also using TB to backup my phone and now wondering how can I restore it if the phone cannot be rooted.
My biggest worry is not the contacts/SMS/Call Logs/System settings, but the applications installed and their data. My search continues and so far its been a pitch dark
I think that it's matter of time for a new version of gingerbreak to work with Android 2.3.3.
I just updated my non-rooted phone using pc companion and didn't lose any settings/apps.
When I am searching for update, m always getting error "Could not connect to Network"
Strange!!
I just did the upgrade from PC SE update, it upgraded 2.3.3 sucessfully.
1st reboot taken 10 minutes, take long.
Yes, no more root, but no data loss, all apps + data are still there.
cheers
James
when we download games/apps from market, where does .apk files goes??
Guys now since 2.3.3 update is available in Singapore, please let me know how to take backup of all apps/games??
Or should I go ahead with the update, all data will remain intact??
Note: my phone is rooted with GingerBreak!!
Tried to update using PC Companion, but getting following error:
PC Companion was not able to connect to the phone. Please disconnect & connect again.
For support, see the troubleshooting guide.
You wont need to backup your data. To successfully connect to the PC Companion Software make sure you are in the correct USB mode. The PC Companion Software will usually display a message how to do so.
Since gingerbreak is not available for 2.3.3 yet, I'm assuming updating at this stage means:
1. You wont lose any apps/photos you currently have on your phone
2. Can't root with gingerbreak yet so you can't really use titanium backup to restore anything (if you need)
3. The crap wares which we had previously removed/frozen are now reinstalled on 2.3.3
4. Once gingerbreak is available on 2.3.3, we would have to root it again and then go through the process of removing/freezing the list of crapwares?
Are these the right assumptions? Can someone who has successfully updated to 2.3.3 confirm this? Thanks.

Since my phone is unbranded I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a rooted GenericUK ROM. You can find it in the Xperia Arc development section. Of course all your data on your phone will be wiped, but you can use Titanium Backup to get itl all running again. Contacta were a bit messed up, no other problems encountered so far.

I have updated my arc to 2.3.3 !!
just to confirm there is no NO NEED for backup (if u rooted ur phone with Gingerbreak).
All ur apps/games will remain intact!!
My phone tells me there is a software update. I accept, it goes through the whole process but then says unable to update. I assume its due to me being rooted via gingerbreak?
Is there a way to update?
Is there a way to un-root my phone?
Thanks in advance.

Are you try to update via ota? Are you already on 2.3.3? Have you uninstalled any of the preinstalled apps?
If you are on 2.3.3 already there is no new update out for the phone. If you are still on 2.3.2 and are trying update via ota you will need all the preinstalled apps still on the phone, if you have uninstalled anything you will either need to reinstall the apks from here or redo the process of flashing 2.3.2 (to regain the uninstalled apps) then rooting and then doing the ota to update to 2.3.3.
Rooting will not stop you from getting an ota update as long as the bloat is still present. So it would be better to freeze the apps instead of uninstalling (if you plan to do the ota update in october to 2.3.4). If you want to un-root your phone you can reinstall gingerbreak and when you open gingerbreak click unroot, but it is not required to unroot to update.
Thankyou! I cant remember what bloat I deleted, how do I flash 2.2.3? Im a complete noob at all this, but im trying to learn.

If you dont want to keep root and you have a locked bootloader you can just use SEUS (google it) and it will install 2.3.3 on your phone even if you have uninstalled something. But as said you will loose root.
Or follow the links in Dousan's post to update while keeping root. Just flash the uk 2.3.2, then root, then do the ota update without removing anything and you will be on 2.3.3 with root.

Here is the Droid Razr HD software update. I have not tested it as I use CM 10.1 and have no interest in going back to stock. I found it on www.droidrzr.com in a forum post then shared it on my dropbox account.
I posted it on my Dropbox account so not sure how long it will last until the link is gone:

So, stock recovery to install this?
I would assume you would need to be 100% stock, including the recovery, to install this.

hmm put it on my internal storage and its not found, I think stock recovery wants to see it on a sdcard.
If your boot loader is unlocked before the update, it should stay unlocked. You just will not be able to unlock with methods out there now.

A few questions I haven't been able to find answers to (many threads have been started on this new update topic and I haven't found the answers I'm looking for yet):
1) I've heard that there are two versions of this update, 9.20.xx and 9.18.xx... Anyone know the differences yet? Is one version for phones that have been unlocked and the other for phones that are still locked? Is one version for XT925 and the other for XT926? I received the 9.18 version, I am rooted, unlocked, and have a XT926 phone.
2) Anyone with an already unlocked bootloader try and take the update? Do you remember which version of the update you took? Did it install correctly? Are you still unlocked?
3) Anyone that is rooted and unlocked try to take the update? Did it install correctly? Are you still rooted and unlocked after the update? Did you have to protect the root with either SuperSU or Voodoo OTA Root Keeper? If so, do you mind posting step-by-step instructions for protecting the root so the phone is still rooted after the update?
Thanks to all who can shed light on these questions!

There are 2 different versions, depends on what System version you have of 4.1.2 on the XT926 only. The 9.18.79 version would indicate that your Systems version is 9.16.6 if this is not correct DO NOT FLASH. I am Rooted/Unlocked, if you take the plunge you must OTA Rootkeeper/SuperSU backup SU, as the update breaks Root> IF there is no backup of SU with the latest binaries. If you lose Root, there are a couple of ways to Downgrade. A common problem for those of us Root/Unlocked the Update FAILs at the end. Most of the Update goes through, however the new Radio does not go through, as of right now if you Update and your Baseband is VANQUISH_BP_100730.081.64.09P then you have the OLD radio, the new Radio is VANQUISH_BP_100730.160.64.15P.
Between the 2 OTA's these should match-up as either 9.16.6 = 9.18.79 or 9.16.9 = 9.20.1
Thanks for the reply! A few more questions if you don't mind (would hate to do something wrong... like I did last time... luckily I was able to revert back to an original version and fix the install... sigh...):
4) With protecting root, I need the SuperSU Pro version, yes? To be able to use the survival mode, yes? Will Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper do the same thing? Is it possible to use both "to be sure"?
5) I have everything backed up with Titanium Backup. Should I bother getting the pro version and backing everything up using the cloud backup and hypershell? Or won't this matter since if root doesn't keep I won't be able to use Titanium Backup?
6) I also have performed the VZW Wireless Hotspot hack using SQLite. Am I going to have to undo the hack in order for the OTA update to work?
Thanks again for all your help!
Update - I decided to attempt the update and hope for the best. System update 9.18.79.xx updating from 9.16.6.xx.
I purchased the SuperSU Pro from the Play Store, and used the survival mode in SuperSU. I also used the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and protected root. I figured if one didn't work the other might... Voodoo worked to protect and re-install root access (not sure about SuperSU as I tried Voodoo first to restore root after the install).
I am unsure if the bootloader is still unlocked, but from what people have said there doesn't seem to be a reason to believe it is re-locked. I haven't tested it out to know for sure though.
It appears that the entire update installed correctly. No errors, and the baseband version was updated to the new radio (xxx.15P).
I did not undo the VZW Wireless Hotspot hack prior to installing the update.
Hopefully this post helps others out there.
My final question... what does updating the radio/baseband do exactly?
i need help! i tried installing the update but i forgot i had TWRP.. so the update did not got installed, i rebooted the phone, but the OS tried to install the update again and inmediatly reboot the phone in recovery again .. then from recovery i flashed liquid smooth rom but i got stuck in the boot animation... my big issue is that my power button is broken! now i cant reset the phone to enter in fastboot mode.. i cant do anything... now my battery is totally drained and i cant turn on the phone (my power button does not work).. i can plug the usb cable and the led turns green. but i dont see any more options

My suggestion, let your phone charge a bit.
Once charged up, turn it on and get it into Fastboot. From there you can use the DROID RAZR HD UTILITY 1.21 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307439). In that utility option 1 will bring you back to complete stock ROM, option 2 will bring you back to a stock recovery. This will completely erase your phone.
This should at least give you a fresh functioning phone. If you want to try to keep your data or personal files, I'm not sure what you could load via fastboot to get yourself a functioning phone again (maybe just a kernel?).
As a side note, I used TWRP to load the update and my phone updated except the radios it seems. It sounds like the same thing happens with the stock recovery.

I tried to take the 9.18.79 update I protected the root (I'm not unlocked) before I did so I also temporarily un-rooted (I've always been told to do this before and update) Now I an no longer rooted and it can't find any SU binary codes. Gonna have to flash back to 9.6.16 and try it again I guess or stay on 9.6.16 in order to maintain root for now. If you find a solution please share.

I agree with Lenny. This same thing happened to me when I tried to take the liquid smooth ROM. Follow his instructions above. You'll lose all your pics, vids, files, etc. But at least you'll have a working phone again.
Went smoothly here
All my devices except this one are rooted and some are rom'd. I thought long and hard about whether to void this warranty but decided one day it would be out of updates from VZW and I would want to flash something. I have been denying the OTA for the last day so I figured now or never.
Here are the simple steps:
Download and install Moto device manager (for the USB drivers) here
Enable USB debugging in developer options on the phone
run motochopper here
run motoapocolypse here
install voodooOTA root keeper from Play and backup root
apply OTA
It went error free. The phone has the 15P radio update, unlocked BL and root.

I want to confirm something, you unlocked the bootloader and then took the OTA and the bootloader remain unlocked (and stayed rooted due to root keeper)?
So the benefit to all this would be to get the new radio update?

Yes, the bootloader won't get locked again after it is unlocked. Moto would be shooting themselves having to reinstate warranties if they did that. Yes I wanted the option of flashing later becuase the ota will install sooner or later. I also want to stay on the upgrade path for now to have current radios.
I still have an Eris lying around that is long out of support but i have gb on it.

Just to make a point and to clear up any confusion, this Update will not lock the Bootloader. If you have an Unlocked Bootloader then you will have an Unlocked Bootloader after the update, regardless if it fully works or not, and even if you lose Root, the Bootloader will still be Unlocked. If Root is lost with an Unlocked Bootloader, I suggest downgrading through an FXZ of either 9.16.6 or 9.16.9 and restore Root.
Hello, so basically I've rooted my phone. The root test says the phone is rooted, but some apps that require root don't work (some do). I found out it could be caused by half root. I was not satisfied with it, so I tried to remove the Kingroot app along with the root, but the app reports an error every time. However, the Kingroot app has become "untouchable". It transformed into system app and I can't delete it, because the half root doesn't allow me to do that. I can't even manually delete the su files in root. How can I solve this? I don't have an unlocked bootloader, and I don't even want to, if the situation will allow it. I just want to go back to unroot status (realised it was a mistake trusting in one click root ).
The only "safe" way to remove kingroot it's to flash again stock firmware.
I did 3 times, just download full firmware, same version as you already have, then do a local update.
Hello there...
I suffered form this thing and i factory restored my phone but everytime I do Kingroot stills there.
I tried to install stock firmware but it says installation failed.(I downloaded stock firmware from Huawei's website)

Thank you very much for the reply! I don't really mind having my phone half-rooted, adblock still works, so it isn't a problem, but I suffer from the fact that it's not "complete" (some kind of "perfectionism" lol). I will find out more about flashing the original firmware. I'm afraid I will need to unlock the bootloader, am I right?
