-> take this Link
This Version works great on my Wildfire, debranded one...
I upgraded it with a Goldcard (just to be sure)
don't forget to deactivate your Anti-Virus Progs & Firewall!
Connect via USB & Flash it!
HAVE FUN!
-> Care that all Data (except SD Card) will be erased!!

humm a exe file
keep getting this ? Error[131]:CUSTOMER ID ERROR

That's what ruu's are
I'm still holding off tho. To the poster... Do u know where this came from? Have u tried it?
even the most talented devs were noobs once... so there's hope for the rest of us!

Worked like a charm
Just installed this RUU and it works very well

all you do is download the RUU, plug your wildfire in your PC making sure that debugging mode is enabled. Run the RUU and let it do it's thing.

i got mine yesterday, in base system 1.37.... wildpuzzle

Thanks for this mod, I'm a real noob in this. I have few questions
1. Before flashing with this new Version, How do I backup complete OS (Just in case some thing went wrong)
2. Before installing, You said "Connect via USB & Flash it!". What type of connection we have to select (as it prompts to select)
3. Is this version is official from Android or by any other Developers group ?
Thanks in advance !

1 if you not rooted you can't backup, if rooted use rommanager
2 charging is fine
3 ruu and ota are official

can i know what 'data' are erased? what about phone contacts, pictures, apps, notes?

Mostly which do not belong to SD card will be erased.
Get the following tool "Sprite Backup" use it and backup all your data (Contacts,Call logs, MMS, SMS.. etc.....)
Use the same tool to restore after the update. if you need this tool I can provide u ....
I tried to install this on my Wildfire, it took few mns and gave me this msg.

What Should I do now ?

its appears only if you dont have htc device, branded and debranded

I installed it...stop being paranoid!
Its the official one...

I am super n00b in this, I am bought the Wildfire today, the guys in the store suggested to update the phone to froyo but its a bit expensive(65 bucks).
Can I update my device using this RUU? the phone is fresh new I haven't installed anything on it yet.

IF you are in the Europe region just connect to Wifi, Go to settings > about > System updates > Check now.
This only works if your phone isn't branded to a network like Vodafone.

[Q] how to unflash (?) new OTA from evo?

My buddy flashed the new OTA and we are trying to establish root.
Me, personally, I run a droid x rooted, so its similar, but I can use MotoHelper to flash whatever I need to establish root. Is there similar programs and files to flash back to a previous version of software for the Evo? Thanks.

Its not possible to root the new OTA yet. Give it some time and for future reference..ALWAYS wait until the OTA is rooted before you flash new updates..
Good luck!

Would it have killed you to spend maybe 20 seconds to see if there was already threads about this? Right now, I count 2 threads on the FIRST PAGE about this, not to mention at LEAST 25 other threads that have been made in the last week. It literally would have taken you 10-15 seconds to find your answer, but since you can't do that, I'll answer for you: YOU CANNOT ROOT THE OTA YET. When a method is available, you can find out here.

If your friend is s-off, you can flash recovery and then flash a rooted rom.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)

I love how it's always "a friend" that does the screwing up.

OK, so its not my phone. Like I said, I have a droid x that is rooted. I have four other phones sitting at the house, all rooted. I know what I'm talking about, and i didn't ask if it can be rooted, I asked if you can flash back. Thanks for not reading. I asked specifically if there were any programs to flash an older version of the OS to gain root. Again, thanks for not reading. Motorola as Moto Helper, and I can flash whatever version of android I want. Whenever I want. Without root. I don't know anything about you or your knowledge, so don't question mine. I would like help, not flame. I tried to talk my buddy into rooting his evo when he first got it, and now he finally decided to follow my suggestion, but the OTA came out for him over the weekend. I don't sit around and read about phones that aren't mine, but I am trying to help out a friend to remove bloat. Now all I ask is to get help from the forum with my SPECIFIC question, not rooting the OTA. READ FIRST BEFORE FLAME.

He wasn't s-off before, I tried verifying the versions with unrevoked, and they don't have it verified or supported yet. Thanks for the option, though.

I didn't flame, but offered the only currently known solution to gaining root with the new OTA. Since the hboot was updated with the new OTA, and it's not downgradeable, the phone cannot be downgraded to an earlier version. There are RUUs available to put the phone back to stock or update to a newer version, but if you attempt to run it, it will give you a "main version is newer" error and will not complete due to the hboot not being able to downgrade.
EDIT: Just saw your response, oops.

no you're good, I read before you edited too. Thanks, that makes sense. Like I said, the Droid can be downgraded whenever I want, even with the locked bootloader. Thanks for your input, and this is what I figured happened with the new OTA.

If he was on rooted 2.2 with s-off and updated with ota 2.3 then he must be still s-off. All you need is to flash amon ra recovery and then flash superuser and youll have stock 2.3 with root. Ive done this on 5 phones already )

I was thinking about this while reading all these threads.
If a phone came with 2.2 from the factory and was then upgraded to 2.3, theoretically shouldn't you be able to factory reset the phone back to 2.2?

No. Once you upgrade, that replaces 2.2 with 2.3. Therefore, a factory reset would just reset your 2.3. To downgrade, you need root access to flash an older rom.

Yes u can go back to 2.2 but the new locked bootloader will remain therefore no root even if you flash back.

Is anyone able to root HTC Desire HD Froyo 2.3.3 ??

HI
I am using HTC Desire HD and was rooted before upgrading it to 2.3.3,
now I am unable to root it and
is there anyway to root it,
I try a lot of software like Gingerbreak 1.2 and Visionary and z4root and alot of other software, but all fails
any help please

First of all 2.3.3 is Gingerbread.
And how did you upgrade your phone?
visionary only works with 2.2

You should downgrade first, then you can permroot your DHD. Follow the link in my signature

OK..So till now there is no root for 2.3.3 , is this is why I have to downgrade...

Yeh no root for 2.3.3 and i doubt people will bother when its this easy to downgrade and then install custom firmware.

how bad, I really like the new things in 2.3.3, but anyway having a root access on the mobile will be better as everything was added in 2.3.3 can be installed as a software on 2.2

How about:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-htc-desire-hd/
It's as easy as "download -> run" and it works brilliantly!
I suggest, instead of doing it on Windows and dealing with all them complications, just booting a Ubuntu Live CD (it's not as bad as it sounds, I actually liked it the first time I tried it and now I have it installed by my Windows) and just run the command:
wget http://droid.neolobster.com/roms/aahk-25102011.zip && unzip aahk-25102011.zip && sudo ./hack-ace.sh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in terminal, press "1" and be afk for 5 mins.
Doesn't erase your data, doesn't format your phone, doesn't downgrade your Android OS.
What it DOES do is:
Automagically turn your sdcard into a goldcard
Set Radio S-OFF
Set SuperCID
Remove Carrier SIMLOCK
Install Clockworkmod Recovery
Root the phone
Install RomManager
Install Superuser
Good luck with it

This is the Best way to root your phone, I done my dhd in 6 minutes, and on first time, no problems at all. You can't find for the moment better way to root your phone with one click and s-off too, just have look :

I agree. I was on gingerbread stock using the ota update. The ace hack kit featured in the link is the way to go.
Now I'm using ARHD 6.1.4 Rom.

and finally my DHD is rooted and fully function
Next time I will never make any update before getting the root first
thanks alot

My DHD is 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1, just now i get goldcard, and now i am trying to downgrade, after that it will be possible to get ROOT

You don't need to downgrade if you use Advanced Hack Kit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352&page=200

Hack kit is working perfectly! It includes Downgrade/Root/S-Off in practicly one click. Afther that you just need to do ENG S-Off and you're good to go with ROM & Radio flashing

There's a update for the shift, its on sprint official twitter can't link it here , but check it out.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

Interesting. I'll install it when I get my phone today and see if it breaks root.

Just checked the update on phone it just give a application update for Twitter nothing else at the moment... Checked my wife's non rooted shift and has the same Twitter update nothing else that there Twitter account says...

It's just another basic HTC security update just like the last one...But I did hear HTC patched misc.img partition on the G2 so be carefull about what security patches you update to because it could break root if you have s-on and stock HTC recovery.

Has anyone actually been able to initiate this update yet? I want to pull the .zip from the SD card without installing it to see what's inside and whether or not it can be made into a patch for a rooted 2.3.3 without too much trouble (since I'm an idiot and I want to run the phone stock, save for root).

So, does this 2.77.651.3 version break root and/or temp root on the HTC EVO Shift or what?
I use this method to temp root, and don't want to loose the ability to temp root.

Anyway, this seems to be a false promise from Sprint for me since I keep trying to update over 3G and WiFi and I'm not getting anything. My Shift is still on 2.76.651.6 with the Twitter update that came out a few weeks ago, but no update to this new 2.77.651.3 version for me as of yet.

I am seeing wifi issue also will try the GPE radio if no good i will reflash to 4.4.2 stock

will it be safe to install on a at&t m8 converted to gpe ?

That's how I installed it. GPE conversion, received OTA this afternoon, installed, broke all of the things.
I was hoping to move away from .zips and manual installations after converting, and only use pushed OTAs.
Still looking for resolution. I doubt the devs didn't regression test, etc.

Mine is an unlocked HTC One with the RUU GPE conversion. I'm having the same problems, even after reflashing the RUU and reapplying the OTA.

I figured out the problem. I flashed the new RUU that graffix posted with 4.4.3. The Kernal in the OTA is not updating like it should, it stays on the kernal that was made in March. The new Kernal has a date of Thursday May 22nd. So for whatever reason, the OTA is not flashing the new Kernal, which is why all those things were broken. If you use the RUU update, it will flash the new kernal, and everything works as it should.
You'll know right off the bat at first boot. With the OTA, the boot animation hangs and it hangs on the home screen. With the RUU flash, everything is buttery smooth
