Firmware Update - Legend HTC WWE 2.03.405.3

Hi,
I've just updated my Legend to the 2.03.403 version. So far i noticed that there's a new version of the quickoffice, improved performance and battery. Most Important multi-touch (pinch zoom)for Google maps!Has anybody figured out any new / additional feature beside what i mentioned ?

Without a garantueed method to root this update or a pre-rooted version I won't touch this even with a ten-foot pole.

Just convert your sdcard into goldcard. That's it. Launch the official RUU file...install it... and you're ready!

No, I was not talking about "How can I do this" but about the implications of that update.
There is no root-version of it for now, or is there?

The version is unrooted. Nothing will be rooted. You're using an original version with no changes... should be totally fine.

If you flash this to your rooted phone, you loose the rooting..

I didn't have rooted it. Just goldcard. And yes you loose the root.

this new firmare is out from today? WHere can I read my firmware version to check what version I have?

No OTA for now, you have to flash this like a normal rom, but you might need a Goldcard.
So:
Create Goldcard (It's somewhere on this forum)
Put the Goldcard in your phone
Turn on the phone
Connect your phone to your pc
Run the RUU from your pc and follow the steps
It should flash the new rom, but remember that you'll loose root!
If you haven't rooted, there is no problem

One change I've noticed is that I can now use the map background from Terra Time - it would not work before.
Now that I have installed this update does it mean that I can no longer root my phone?

Another change - I can now open up the full youtube site when tethered instead of getting palmed off to the mobile site.

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the new firmware has Cyrillic keyboard?

Nothing for Italy at this moment....

It has Russian keyboard, but it is hidden (at least, on my phone).
I had to set my locale to Russian with MoreLocale. This switches the entire UI to Russian unfortunately, but enables Russian in HTC IME.
Same was true for my original 1.xx ROM.

...
just updated on ger unbranded legend with win7 pro 64 bit without any problem... now testing ;-) ...

Is there swedish language included in this?

Is this ROM have English lang available on it? I bought my legend from india (1.32).
Will i be able to get OTA updates from HTC after flashing this ROM? I guess i ll also lose my warranty?
Please tell me as i want to flash this ROM desparately.

[Q] Regarding OTA update

Hi guys,
My software version on phone is:
1.31.405.5
My locale is English(Norway).
Why don't i get OTA update 2.13.xxxx or any update begin with 2?
When i go to HTC official support site i see that only when i choose India as country i can see this update.Strange.How to know the region on my phone?Is it based on locale?For example if i choose English(norway)than my region is Europe.That's a bit confusing for me.Can someone explain
Thanks in advance

I am in the same situation (locale English (Czech Republic)). Have no idea why am I still on 1.31.405.5. I hope the Froyo will be avaiable to all regions at the same time (at least in europe).

it wont be that way, there will be differences of a week at least, thats how they do it , i believe they don't won't to stress the downlad servers

There were definitely some issues with the 2.xx upgrade (I lost Wifi capabilities until I forced a revert back to 1.31 firmware and reupdate) so it wouldn't surprise me that the update got pulled.

Can be.So we have to wait for Froyo
Thanks

[Q] No FOTA Update for HTC Legend SW: 1.31.405 CL154058

Although the update for the HTC legend is available and many have successfully updated their phone to version 2.05.405.2. I did not get this update!
I have contacted HTC support and they said:
"Dear Mr.Mrdja Thank you for contacting HTC. Kindly note that your device is up to date and there is no other ROM update available for the moment. Please check our website periodically and search for the latest updates. If you have any other inquiries , do not hesitate to contact us again.

It's down to the carrier (your telephone company) to release it is it not?

If it was branded! Unless I am mistaking?

If it's rooted, flashing an OTA would remove the root and then becomes more complicated to get it back (needs to downgrade back that 1.31 again)
So you may just want to flash it yourself with recovery/ClockWorkMod

I am aware of that but my question is why there is no OTA update for this release keys? My phone is not rooted.

same here, guys. Any solution? I have no OTA for 1.31.405.5 CL154058 release-keys ...

I have the same problem aswell. HTC support suggested a factory reset, but that didn't help.

How the hell can anybody have the 2.10.178.1 version if there's no OTA to get it... and no RUU...

2.10 is a Vodafone AU rom
1.31.405.5 is a WWE rom
Somehow, there's no upgrade path to get to 2.03.405.3

Kwen, thanks for the information.
I've contacted with HTC support and this is what they say:
Kindly be informed that the latest update released for your handset is the 1.31.X version, for the time being, there're no further upgrades for your handset, please note that the HTC Legend is one of the devices that received the Android 2.2 upgrade, however, for the time being, there's no information regarding its date of release.
Please note that the update will initially roll out to unlocked HTC Desire handsets. Operator specific versions of the update are undergoing testing and we expect to make them available in several weeks’ time.”

I don't see the point of the branded devices getting updates that stock free devices don't get... very strange: I thought that first an official OTA update comes out and then each company modifies this update to put it's ****ty logos and shortcuts.

So... the latest WWE version is 2.03.405.3, but im still on 1.31.405.5 ... !!! WTF !??!
Is there a way to manually update my phone or something or some guide for RUU ... ?!
Froyo is on the way and i don't think i can get it without the latest update!!

For some reason there is no direct upgrade path from 1.31.405.5 to 2.03.405.3. The 2.03 RUU is here.
But at this point I have no idea which WWE versions they're going to release OTA updates for - because I'm assuming many people do not RUU their phones and are therefore still on 1.31 like you. Also some others are on the 2.05.405.2 ROM that was faulty and therefore that OTA update was pulled!

Thx dude !

hi guys,
I've done some research on this forum and found out (if I'm not mistaken) that HTC must have pulled the OTA update to 2.03 off their site because of the SMS bug. So basically there's no official (direct) way of updating from 1.31 to 2.03/2.05, if you want, you can still download the shipped one from shipped rom and flash it manually!
I'm considering waiting for froyo or updating my (rooted) 1.31 to (rooted) 2.03 though.

Why would you update to 2.03 instead of Froyo if your phone is already rooted? Check the Development section. There are several rooted Froyo ROMs out and you can still revert if you don't like it.

Wondering about 1.31.405.5 Froyo
Hello everyone,
I love this script on zubu.ca/legend/fota_check.php and I've lost the count on how many times I pressed F5 while on it, but still no luck for me.
I've got an HTC Legend (unbranded with carrier Vodafon). It's got build 1.31.405.5 (CL154058 RK) and according to the FOTA-checker there's no update available.
My question is basically: Why is there no update, and do I need another update before I get the Froyo update? I know HTC stated that every Legend will have Froyo by the 5th of december and it's not the 5th yet. But still, many Legends have it already and like I said I'm bad at waiting XD
Thanks in advance.

[Q] italian firmware sbf

does anyone have any news about the italian firmware for milestone 2.
is there a way to get a dump of the latest version of the italian fw.
the phone was announced last week and should be in stores very soon.

Since the only .sbf available were obtained on a motorola server, which is now closed, it's very unlikely that an italian firmware goes out.
At best, somebody will be kind enough to make a nandroid backup and share it.
Since uk and italy use the same keyboard layout, and same baseband frequencies, why don't you use the uk .sbf? (which surely has italian support)

it's because there are several bugs in the uk release and I know for sure that most of them were corrected with the italian version.
for example in the recent calls contact pictures are messed up (you see the wrong picture with the calls list); that was solved in the italian retail firmware.
thank you anyway for your kind answer.

[Q] official update to 2.2?

ZTE Blade will soon celebrate it's 1th birthday and there is still no official update to Android 2.2. So i'm asking: when it will be finally finished? I really can't stand 2.1 (especially a think, that i cannot save my apps on memory card). I know that it was released in Finland, but why there? Why not for exaple in UK (only it may be in engilsh)... I'm really sad about this. So, does anyone know when finally there will be official update?
sorry for my bad English..
thanks, mirko185

With the price being so low in the UK I have my doubts that 2.2 will get released here.
Can someone please point me to a guide on the official 2.2 ROMs which I assume can be installed.

ZTE has released Froyo kernel(2.6.32) source code for the Blade... Check "System Equipment" under front page top "Support" link.

yes, I've already noticed it, but it doesn't helps me anyway... And they have so slow servers, and really non-systematic website..

official 2.2 updates:

well, I'm from Slovakia, so I don't know from which from these page I should download it, and, of course, I'm really happy, finnaly it's here! I only want English version, and it should have every of these roms, isn't it?
and, thank really much!

I tryed the Hungarian T-Mobile one, but unfortunately it didn't work for my device, it says that my device has another version. I think it's becouse of my phone is from Slovak Orange. What a shame... :/ But at least I can believe that Orange is finishing their ROM, if T-mobile already has it done (I hope).
thanks anyway.

I have a Spanish Version of the ZTE Blade that is running 2.2. I backed up the rom before I installed a custom rom so if anyone wants a copy of what was backed up by rom manager then let me know and I will see what I can do...As far as I can remember my Blade is version B10. Hope that help someone.

Hi could you post your back up. I don't need the data.img

edit: to get this working I downloaded this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.apedroid.pigfish to make sure my device is gen1
I then downloaded this http://www.wuala.com/peanut_hu/OSF_Blade/ROMs/fonix232/T-Mobile_HU_memory_fix_ROM which is the gen1 t-mobile hungarian eclair rom, you extract this and place this on your blade's sdcard, so sdcard/image/
turn your blade off, hold down volume + and power button, and the blade will flash the eclair rom, after this you need the above t-mobile hungarian froyo rom, http://www.t-mobile.hu/lakossagi/keszulekek/szoftverfrissites/telefon/zte_blade_2 , start your blade in FTM mode, hold volume - and power on device, flash from windows. Let it complete to 100%, all done, now running an official froyo rom

GREAT!! I gonna try this out right now!
edit:well, i relazed my blade is not rooted, so i cannot flash eclear ROM.. is there another way to install this eclear?
edit1: well, I managed to flash the hungarion officila om from T-mobile, but I can't start the phone cousa it's asking me code for unblock networks.. I try to search this out, BTW, If u did the same thing as me, do u have this code too?

The network unlock code is unique for each device.
You can get your code to network unlock your blade for free by typing your phones IMEI number here: http://arrtoo.x10.mx/unlockBlade.php
'Arr Too' over at modaco is hosting this for the blade

My blade has been network unlocked from the first day i got it
