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 downgraded from 2.3.4 last night and got root back on my phone. It took a while cause I never used adb before, but the instructions are pretty straight forward so its not extremely difficult. I'll post you the link I used, and if you have any other questions or problems I'll do my best to help. Here you go...

If you're not new to rooting, flashing and such, why wouldn't you post what steps exactly did you do and where the process doesn't go as expected? If you're dealing with Android for more than a couple of days, you probably understand that your posts are absolutely useless by now, having no information whatsoever that would allow helping you.
I know its just hard to explain ill try ok I dl the sdk and did all the updates and dl the adb and installed everything to the root of c: did the step by step process and when I try to push anything to downgrade file path not found or something like that
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
When you issue "adb devices" command, do you see your phone?
What is the exact command that fails? Post it here, exactly the way you're writing it.
Yes I see my phone but can't do nothing after that file not found not the right path but I did everything it says too even used adb for dummies lol.... But lets start from the beginning when I DL the sdk file where do I exactly extract it to C: or program I think that's where I maybe messing up at. Root of C drive I click on mycomputer and that where it goes right same thing as adb?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
You need to extract it wherever you want to.
C:\ would be best.
Just open the shell on the right directory when you attempt to use adb commands.
I suggest you to find some video guide on installing ADB and follow it.
And next time, when you're asking for help, please bother to WRITE THE COMMAND YOU'RE RECEIVING THE WRONG REPLY ON, EXACTLY THE WAY YOU'RE TYPING IT. Just as already suggested 2 times above (at least). Thank you.
Heres what I did. Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912. once you downgrade, follow the guide for downgrading on the CyanogenMod wiki page for the MT4G.
I seemed to have flashed a completely different dload folder onto my impulse 4g and i get stuck at the att splash image. if anyone would happen to have the STOCK dload or update if they can post it herre it would be great. i searched all around but couldnt find it
It's here.
i NEED help
ok heres what i did i wanted to upgrade my phone to the newest version GB 2.3.4.So what i did was download the update and i followed the installation steps i successfully updated to Gb 2.3.4. so like i was checking how it look and the new feature but when i wanted to go on the android market i went to setting and turn on the wifi and it said Error and then i tried the Bluetooth and it said Error also so then i put my SIMs card in and i was like imma use DATA then and when i restarted my phone it had service but no HSPA+ or Edge or GPRS so like i just hatted my phone from their so then i was trying to root it but iddnt know how to do that so like i read this website and i got the UPDATE.APP or 2.2.2 AT&T did the same steps of the installation of BG 2.3.4 and it went to the process and 1/2 stepp good it passed and then 2/2 also passed it installed it and when it said Successively Installed it said Restarting and the scrren turn of and it vibrated and thats all that happened and i left it like that for the whole days and nothing happened
Do u got any idea?
When i connect it to my laptop it says installing drivers .then its says sucesfully installed drivers ready to use. so then i got to Device Manger and i check what has been installed and their it said USB Human interface device and HID-compliant device WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??
i fist installed the GB 2.3.4 {U8800V100R001C00B518G001} but i did not like it and i installed this ROM {V100R001C00B138SP04CUSTC185D002} thats 2.2.2
ok i found a download that claims to be the new gingerbread miui for impulse 4g users had one tester said its working great on his impulse so i want more testers to confirm it and make a guide for everyone send me your email and ill give ya the link for the download

I haven't had time to install and check out the ROM for my impulse yet. I'm just worried about 4g and wifi connectivity. With my job, having data service on my phone is a must. I know that was a problem with a different ROM for this phone... everything worked except for data and wifi. I guess I'm a little shy to try it as there have been reports of not being able to revert back to Froyo.
Well so far its working on on the first testers phone the second Guy said he is gonna do it when he gets a chance to check it out so hopefully his turns out good

Useless Posts
Why do you guys even keep posting on here with useless information.... I keep
seeing the post over and over about the link to the GB download, and how it worked for 1 guy "who is HE ?" but you do not post the link up to the source.
Then somebody says "oh yeah, i am gonna try it later. will let you know how it goes"...... Then nobody ever posts back their progress. Some people come on here with a purpose of helping Dev's or other people to mod their phones.
If you are not going to follow through with your posts, or post useless information
with no links to what you are talking about..... DON'T POST anything at all.
Thanks,

Edit: I did it! Download this file and first update step 1 and then step 2.
http://www.mediafire.com/?ncrnw95th9ekpae
(To start the upgrade I plugged in the phone without battery to the pc while pressing volume up and down)
Now, it is suppose to be downgraded, but it is not booting.. (just operator logo and reboots) but there is no bricking.. I am now trying to update another stock rom froyo posted in this forum.
Edit 2: Secondly, I installed http://www.mediafire.com/?kmh4qbd3v7dslc5 the same way, and its working! but it is u8800pro Froyo. But maybe we have more chances on getting 3g.

I downloaded from a chinese web a stock rom for u8800pro with baseband 203026 (same as u8800-51). I flashed it, and then restored all using clockworkmod files from u8800-51 (also, I replaced all files in pink screen and put the original image files from u8800-51). It worked great! my phone is now u8800-51 froyo again. But I still got no 3g.. Can this be possible? I replaced every file! whats the problem then?
The u8800pro stock rom with u8800-51 baseband is here: http://dl.dbank.com/c0i0gctow9
Sorry if this is another useless post. Now I know I won't upgrade knowing that downgrading won't give you your 4g back. I really wish I could afford to get an Atrix. Thanks for the useful posts about downgrading.
hope i'm posting this in the right place...
when i got my phone (MT4G) is was on 2.3.4
recently ..i've downgraded to 2.2.1, rooted and installed CM7
after about an hour i decided to go back to stock so using a stock froyo PD15IMG.zip (via power+volume-down) i restored my phone back to froyo 2.2.1 (unrooted)
unlike in the 2.3.4 version... there is no software update button
can someone help me figure out how to update from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 (or higher)
i only rooted for learning purposes (i'm experienced in hacking other things...this is my 1st android) but now that im unrooted, i want to go back to the way my phone was when i got it (2.3.4 unrooted)
any help will be great
thanks in advanced

0.o ...how might i have done this w/o rooting? (for learning purposes)
i might root again for more EXP w/ it, but not now... i dont like losing my apps and personal settings lol
In exactly the same way as you did.
Rooting doesn't affect bootloader whatsoever, unless you flash the engineering one. And any of them will accept the stock PD15IMG.ZIP.
Update that seems to have killed the phone??
I am unfamiliar with the HTC root process and most of it's devices, but I have a friend that got her phone updated and it is now freezing, not sending or receiving messages, and rebooting randomly. She got it done at a store as her phone is no longer under contract and she is using it pre pay. Any help in getting her phone updated properly would be very much appreciated.
I'm used to Samsung, so I know that the root process may take a bit for me to get used to. Thanks in advance for any help. It is very much appreciated.

Get the official update from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384438#
Place file named PD15IMG.ZIP on root of sd card. Make sure it is named exactly that, including all caps. Reboot into bootloader. It will detect the file and ask if you want to update. Click yes and cross your fingers. Should work fine, but there is always a risk when flashing anything. Good luck.

Why you telling you received ics update? Upload the update for us and let see if it is ics , I think isn't .

Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I have never performed an update on my a500 but I would assume that being rooted would affect the update process. Try downloading OTA keeper from the market. It creates a backup of the root and temporary unroots the device. After the update run the app and restore root.
I an not sure how to upload the update. I will try the other suggestion that was made. I didn't think the updates would happen this early but it said 4.010.00. I will do my best to update this if this is ics?

what version of android is running on your tablet? 3.0.1 or 3.2.1?
I'm betting this is just one of Acers 3.2.1 updates. People are always getting confused with their version numbers.
Sorry to say, but you're being misled by the "Build Number" rather than the OS version. The same happened to me in November.
I have a Gateway tablet (variant of the a500). When I first got it, it upgraded itself to "Build 4.010.02". I was excited, as you are, but it was just the Honeycomb 3.2 upgrade, nothing more.
Again, sorry. It's not here yet. I wish Acer would just list the OS version when telling you you have a system update.
ve4grm is right......it's Honeycomb not ICS.....woulda been nice had it been though...
Dang, well thanks for setting me straight. I still wonder though will I have issues doing the update from my stock ROM?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
kinz - i was in the same position as you. that build number really annoying!
But i believe ICS from Acer stock would have build number 7 prefix.
Thank you I guess we'll see in about a month.
