Flash - Desire General

Hi all,
I have the flash that came with the Froyo update on my phone.
But when I open the market I also see the flash for download.
Is there a difference in the too?
When there is an update for flash how do I get it? since the current flash is not being recognized in the market.
BTW the one in the market is newer.
Thanks

You need to download the flash from the market as this is indeed the update. Once you have done it the market will recognise you have flash and then you will be notified of further updates. It's the same story with the Facebook app.

Thanks

Update thru ROM Manager
I have Rom manager installed but I don't know how to update with it. If I boot into recovery using Rom manager I get the latest clockwork, but if I reboot the phone holding down the volume down then I get the old clockwork.
How do I update to get the same version no matter how I access clockwork.
Cheers

When you use rom manager you are using the fake-flash method.
To update it permanently you need to use unrevoked, or fastboot if you have s-off.

Put it on your what? xD But I'll wait here for you.
Ste,
you should be able to get it now from http://91.109.1.220/nand/
let me know if you're able to download it.
Ah right thanks for the download.
Ah great it's still not working :/ I have had it working loads but it refuses now
Bootloop?
I'm guessing it depends on what is in the OTA update that's flashed on top of the existing setup.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yea but usually if I flash the froyo update a couple of times it gets rid of clockwork mod recovery maybe I need a newer nandroid.
After I get rid of clockworkmod I can usually flash the update again and it removes bootloops.
The nand I've tried with was taken just before the last update. So, no updates missed.
For the future, if there's anyone out there running a rooted upto date Orange handset, please take a nand and share.
Then, when another update comes through, we can try again
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well it used to work I'm just confused why it doesn't now.
And you've tried your old nand and update?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I put my old nand on flash the update and all that happens is that it sits on the htc logo after I reboot when the update.zip has finished installing.
Is that with the old update? Not the most recent?
If so, that's weird as its worked before....
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yea I put the old one on first then kinda update with the next .zip then the bnext one. The 2.17.61.2 update usually removes the clockworkmod recovery.
Does your phone work with the 2.17.61.2 update? Without applying the most recent ota? But still with clockworkmod.

[Q] Installing OTA when root

Is it okay to install official OTA if S-OFF with Alpharev HBoot?
NEVER INSTALL OTA UPDATES ON ROOTED PHONES.

very true

Answered at least a million times.
It doesn't work no matter what you try. My Desire's now back to factory default because I sent it off to be factory reflashed after rooting it and finding no way to install the latest OTA update.
All the threads with people having issues after doing it says something different. Also a Ruu should have worked fine to get latest official rom. Which is the way to go if you don't want a custom rom but do want the latest OTA update.

Help with HTC official update from my Slide.

So I have my phone, and I have a pc. I've got a data plan on my phone, but no tethering because its not rooted. I can't download the official froyo update. Sad sad I know. Is there a way to download it using my phone?
Been waiting for the update forever and when I got the notification that I needed a pc to make it happen, it broke my heart.
Thanks in advance!
(I can put the update on my pc and all after I download it with my phone. Basically just need a link to download that isn't from the HTC site. Need the Update AND the other thing.)

you can go to the htc page from the browser of your phone and download the files, then copy the files to your pc and follow the instructions.

Count me in too.
I just got it but do not want to install it until i know what it is as is am jellybean rooted with TWRP installed.
Can anyone confirm what the update is as there is no description to the update.
Couldn't be 4.2.2 I don't think.. Maybe though. Or could be an update to try and disable root too.. Can't find any info on the net. I'll try harder later though

Hmm.. No changelog on HTC site, nothing on the Internet about it, I just can't figure it out. Almost want to go and flash stock recovery to figure it out but this is my daily driver and I love having root.. Hmm.

Well--I'm rooted & running JmzTotemJBSense 4.1.2. I got the OTA yesterday evening went ahead & OK'd it this noon...Not sure what it updated, but I saw TWRP come up & I rebooted from there..
software info is:
Software number: 2.21502.1 710RD
HTC SDK API level: 4.65
Android version: 4.12
Kernel version: 3.4.10-g504ed01
Baseband version: 1.18.400.00.07_10.68.40.33IL
Build number: 2.21.502.1 CL206584 release-keys
I check for updates now & it looks like the phone was updated---go figure......
Anyone that has got the OTA & not done it---post your info so we can see if it was just a ATT BS update or something "better".....
Since you have twrp, it didn't update anything. You have to have stock recovery to install OTA updates
