Root Root OTA

na i have 2.2 but there is a new update that is a fix for 2.2 that is OTA. the resson why is coz i got a custom rom or 2.2 on there it is saved to the memory card and if i remove it the phone will not start up. but if i got the 2.2 OTA update that would be stored to the phone correct?

All custom roms are stored on the phone itself. Its not possible not to be.

If removing the SD card stops it booting, then there is another issue perhaps? Are you using a2sd+?

All I can think is that there is other stuff on your card that Froyo wants in order to boot. Maybe some apps?

Firstly, what version are you running on now? Go to Settings>About phone>Software information

If it's 2.09.405.8 you can either get the OTA update (Settings>About phone>System software updates) or get the full RUU file (which will reset your phone) form here:

Shipped ROMs

The RUU you want is this:

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe

If going down the RUU route, you'll need your phone to be connected with HTC Sync and then just run the file

That's because you're not fully following the instructions. You need to press vol-up and power.

Noooooo. You don't check for the update. You cant get OTA when rooted. Download what Eddy OS said onto your computer, connect with htc sync and run the file you downloaded.

will i loose all my stuff on my phone with this update?

I believe when you install an RUU, you will lose everything. It will be like a new phone, only on the latest version.

Download mybackup pro free trial and backup what you can. If you have google contacts and google calendar sync DO NOT back up contacts or calendar

New root isn't far away (you can get the new unrEVOked release candidate from their IRC channel if you wanna try it). I've already rooted my stock 2.10.405.2 ROM and it worked first time in W7 x64 Ultimate

If not, just wait for the final release to come out and do it then :)

oh right well will try get hold of that and a other thing is it me or do u lot have problems with sd card like some times says read only when i takes pics and vid they are not there after and stuff like that ?
