This might have been linked before but has anyone got a good tutorial how to update the build from 1.5.1 to 1.21 and from there apply the Froyo update?

Here is the tutorial to upgrade to 2.2
Same steps apply to upgrade to 1.21 just a different download. Which you can get here
 
Can i copy both updates to the phone (in different folders) on the sdcard and then update separately or must i copy the one, update then copy the other and update
the reason i am asking is because i copied both to my phone and forgot to take the cable with to campus

I'm not sure about thatm since both have to be re-named "update" i would guess not, though if you using astro file manager it could work.
 
I know there's a lot of pages in this thread but seriously now, READ people! Go back to about page 70 and read from then on and it's impossible to not know how to upgrade...
 
ok tried to update to 1.21 and get an error "E: cant open /cache/recovery/command

i then apply sdcard update and get error "E: failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)"

i have both updates on my card saved under a folder i created and the 1.21 was renamed "update.zip"......any ideas? should i delete the froyo update and then try because maybe there is conflict by having both updates on the card?
 
Getting the same error. Think its my build number thats at fault. I have Build 1.15.1104.14 where as the 1.21 works i think on 1.15.405.4. Will take a bit more time to make sure thats the case.

The update you want to apply must be called update.zip in the ROOT of the sdcard, hence the path /sdcard/update.zip NOT /sdcard/somefolder/1.21/update.zip
 
Those f@#king ppl at mtn a55h0ls never released any OTA for the desire, i had to manually update it twice to get the froyo. they bloody blocked the OTA.
 
Anyone with ideas on how I can get the froyo update now that HTC has pulled it off their site?
 
A bunch of us have it downloaded. I'm sure someone somewhere will put it on rapidshare, else say where you're from and maybe a helpful soul can give it to you via WUG/flash/cd.
 
if u have this fw you can do the update manually

Um, that is the firmware after the update...

To do the manual update you need build number 1.21.something

Hey guys, for those of you on MTN, do your APN settings appear correctly? If i put in a prepaid sim they show up automatically, but if i switch to my contract sim theres nothing and i cant get any sort of data connection.
i called the help desk and they just insist on sending me the settings (of which only a welcome to mms sms arrives) which doesnt save or work anyway.

Did anybody else have this problem? (If i manually create an APN, internet will work, but only if i keep MNC as 103 and MCC as 655)
No MMS at all though

No? :confused:
