Help Official Froyo 2.2 Installation/Error Thread

[sagedil]

Twospirits, please read latest update on Engadget. Says HTC says not to install this, not final build, WILL break things. That poster was exactly correct.

 

[HopeofCarter]

Anyone hopeful that this would fix the FPS issue, it does not... I am still at 30fps and stdev is 6.80

Wont fix it

 

[hawkijustin]

Please stop.

The Update was scheduled to be released to a certain few merchants and users this afternoon. They were notified by email to the link. Engadget (or whoever the hell else) got hold of the link and posted it up. This update for all intent and purposes is the final. Now it may be true that those who were destined to receive this link/file are beta testers to test it out and possibly get any fixes before Tuesdays official send off, but thats for another topic. So for all intent and purposes, this is the final, IMO.
Now this isn't an okay to go ahead and download it and install it. If anyone still has reservations, then be patient and wait till Tuesday for the file.

With that said, AndroidForums is not condoning or restricting anyone wanting to test this file themselves. Its your choice. All I ask is to read and re-read the instruction slowly and carefully and be patience while the install does what it does.

As for the OP issue,, your issue was already addressed in this post.



Now if there are any other issues, post them up.

Now i dont want to get into it with a mod and i am no way telling people what to do with their phone but this was not a final build and htc has warned people that this is not a final and may cause problems.

HTC is most likely covering their ass because this got out early. I have had it installed for over 3 hours with zero issues. I know a few others who installed it and nothing broke for them either. If they release a newer version next week, then so what can uprade to that then. The installed build number of this is exactly the one Sprint shows on their support website. So maybe there will be a newer version, maybe not. Obviously this was meant for select testers since you had to do it via bootloader, but despite what HTC is now saying that does not mean this isn't really the final version (and I am not saying it is definitely the final, but it's working great for me regardless.)

I was having the E: cannot find whatever error. I fixed it by renaming the zip file update. Do not name it update.zip. I was stuck on the 4G screen too but just be patient, it will load after a few minutes. Works fine for me.

 

[raqball]

update.zip worked for me when I transferred it from my MAC...

 

[DGamer90]

Once I install this, is there any way for me to go back to 2.1 in case it does start to act funky? I am not rooted, and I am not looking to reset my phone back in a way that will erase everything.

 

[Daft Punk]

i get the same error as the OP. changing file to just UPDATE doesnt work either.

 

[VGPOP]

Has anyone apply this update twice?

I am thinking about reapplying update to see if I can fix the browser problems to load flash content.

Some people are saying they are able to get it to work with no issues.

Who knows....

Anyone?

Hmm installing a update twice..... After last month i wouldnt risk it. Might just have to wait it out untill tuesday or whenever the OTA comes out.

Me either. I can't get it to work. I get the same error no matter what I try. If I change it just to update, it doesn't recognize the file.

 

[marctronixx]

you know thats kind of like installing the update twice. the release on tuesday or whenever is going to be pretty close to the one released today, so the OP will in fact be installing the update twice...

I heard a hard reset did the trick. May wanna try that first before installing twice. I hard reset right after flashing and I have no issues with flash.

The ONLY issue I noticed so far, and its not really a big one, is that when I hit the search button and the search bar comes up, pressing back to minimize the keyboard back out of search as well.

I've never done a hard reset.

How do you accomplish that?

Kind of same way as the installation of this update. Instead of bootloader you just "clear" the data. Everything on the phone will be erased. Your SD card will be unharmed though. How to hard reset the HTC EVO 4G - Know Your Cell

 

[VGPOP]

The funny thing is that I tried to install update again, and it couldn't find .zip file in my SD card.

When I turned on phone, and I looked at my SD card contents, the .zip file disappeared!

How the hell did that happen?

Did the update itself remove file from SD card?

I find that hard to believe.

 

[icebergslim3000]

I had the exact same issues. I fixed them by renaming the file to update.zip and make sure the update is on top of the sd card. I kept running into errors when I had it inside the root folder. Also if you downloaded it directly to the phone and moved it to the top of the card don't forget to delete it from the previous directory.

For those of you having issues with flash go to the settings menu. Scroll down until you see Enable Plugins. Click that then choose On demand. You should now see download arrows when viewing content online. Click the arrow and play the video.

 

[ExtraCrispy]

I installed the update before it was pulled, before the official 'do not install' warning. So far phone seems to be fine, I hope when the real final comes out I'll be able to update OTA, or manually.

 

[Daft Punk]

yes in my case the file in in the sdcard main directory, and named update.zip (NOT .zip.zip).

and it doesnt work.

And you were CORRECT!

The hard reset fixed the browser/displaying flash content problem.

I, for the first time, am able to watch CNN.com flash content video with stock browser!


YES!!!!!!!!

HARD RESET IS THE SOLUTION!



(only problem, you start from scratch, but no biggie....)

 

[sdeforke]

anybody getting this error during the install? i followed the directions to the tee:

ok, figured it out. You have to be at the 1.47 build before applying the update.zip, so get all updates from ota first. At least this is what did it for me.

 

[Imarc4G]

did you have unrevoked3, before going back to 1.47...? i am having the same error. i renamed it to just, update. and still having the same error. right now i have Unrevoced3 with fresh rom.

I was rooted, but I did not use unrevoked. I followed the instructions here, [How To] Unroot and return to stock. - Android Central Forums to return to stock 1.32 rom, and then updated to 1.47 by ota updates, then finally I was able to apply the 2.2 update.zip.
