[madhatter1689]

I have an unbranded HTC but don't seem to be able to get the 2.10 update oTA. Can I do it manually? If so any help appreciated.

Towards the end of post #1 is the update stuff that I mentioned in the other thread.

Yes, I updated the post #1 in the other thread to reflect the alternative way of getting the serial number. Many thanks for that.

1. Download this:

http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_HTC_EU_2.10.405.2-2.09.405.8_releaseol2djq7rqarka2ka.zip

2. Rename it 'update.zip' (not update.zip.zip) and put on root of SD card
3. Reboot into HBOOT
4. Select 'Recovery'
5. At the red ! hold volume up and press power
6. Select 'apply SD:update.zip' and follow instructions

Regards

EddyOS, thanks for the advice.
not sure what you mean by 'root of sd card' but I saved the file to the sdcard [not in any folder] and managed to do the rest and seems to have worked.

Got an update straight away once I rebooted - well I presume the 3 green arrows icon is a download.

that is the root

the arrows are the 2nd phase of the update - just leave it until you're back to your home screen before you do anything
