RUU takes a long time sending.......

Alaa2 · Sep 13, 2012

hi,..

I have an HTC Desire S,and like everyone else I want to upgrade from GB (2.3.5) to ICS (4.0) I downloaded the RUU from here:htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads and I downloaded the WWE one (404mb).

Now I have installed the latest HTC Sync and I got the RUU setup to start and proceed until it gets to the point where it say "sending..." and this process takes forever without changing,the message says at the bottom "Remember,the operation will take about 10 minutes." but I actually waited for it 2 hours,....and nothing happened,I can see the process "fastboot.exe" is taking 413mb ram,....

any ideas why it is not completing the setup and stuck at sending,.... ?

help is much appreciated.

and fastboot is checked aswell.

help is appreciated.

FINALLY !!!!

ok so after a whole day of attempts to update I finally managed to make it update,so here are the steps I did to do it.

I'm just going to write the steps I made for the people who want to Update to ICS on desire S

please note first that alot of people say it takes only 10 minutes to finish the entire update process,that's NOT necessary to happen,in my case it was 15 minutes in just the first step of the update,which one can't know if its updating in the first place or not,...continuing on to the steps:

1)plug your phone to the PC and set it to charge only.
2)go to settings>applications>development>check USB Debugging.
3)go to settings>power>uncheck "fastboot".
4)remove your phone from the USB (charge).
5)hold the power button and shutdown your phone.
6)hold volume down button and hold down the power button,a white screen with options should appear.
7)select the first option (fastboot).
8)when in fastboot plug your USB cable into the phone and PC,you should see "fastboot USB".
9) now move to your PC and start the RUU setup,proceed normally with the wizard and hopefully the setup will run successfully.

note:do not run htc sync while updating,simply go to the HTC website and download the latest HTC sync,install it and make sure it installs the drivers and then shut it down.

Thanks Everyone

I'm trying to update my one x and it has been on the 10 min sending page for over half an hour now though I daren't touch my phone or disconnect it to see if it's actually working.
Did you just leave yours till it stopped the process?

@Alaa2: I only registered to say thank you for your how-to. Tried for hours before and didn't get it to work. Again thanks a lot!
