Ruu firmware for htc desire c. HTC Desire C firmware

The HTC Desire communicator appeared in the vastness of Russia. And along with it, many different firmwares appeared, both native and alternative. Also, "gray" devices, which are tied to any operator, began to be imported into the country. Concerning firmwareHtcHtcDesire raises many questions for many.

I would like to note right away that if we compare the procedure associated with one or another device on WinMo, in our case there are significant differences. And they start with the fact that we are dealing with a device built on Google Android.

So let's start. If you have a device fully certified for Russia in your hands, then you have two ways. Flash using Wi-Fi, through the "Phone settings" menu, then "About phone", then "Phone update". The device will connect to the update server and download the firmware. The main thing is that the Wi-Fi connection is free. Alternatively, you can download the corresponding executable file from the company's website, run it on a Windows computer and follow the instructions in full. There are no problems here, everything is similar to the procedures for standard WinMo firmware. But now, if you need to flash a non-standard firmware ?! You need to do the following.

Non-standard firmware HTC Desire - instructions

In order to firmwareHtcHtcDesire started, you need to determine the version of the bootloader. For this purpose, we press simultaneously two buttons: "Back" and "Shutdown", the boot menu appears on the screen, in which in the second line we are interested in information of the form: HBOOT - 0.xx.0000, where xx is the bootloader version. For version 0.75 you need to download this kit, and for 0.80 - this one.

Then we start the process itself. We write the file "update.zip" to the flash card. We will also interfere with the firmware there. Unpack the required kit there, depending on the version of the bootloader. We launch the console in this folder. Turn off the communicator and turn it on in Fastboot mode (for this, hold down "Back" and "Shutdown"). You will see FastBoot enclosed in a red square. We connect the USB cable to the communicator. In the terminal, depending on the system, enter: for Windows step1-windows.bat, for MAC - ./step1-mac.sh, for Linux - ./step1-linux.sh.

An error message appears, do not pay attention. We are waiting for the first step.

As soon as this happened, we translate into Recovery mode. To do this, go to BootLoader, and from there to Recovery. For this purpose, we use "Up", "Down" and "Off". Press "+ Volume" and "Shutdown" and go to the blue Recovery mode. In this menu, select the Apply sdcard: update.zip item and go to a new window. By the way, now the USB cable can be disconnected. Click on Wipe Data and confirm the deletion of the data. When finished, select install.zip from SDCard and specify our zip file. Confirm by clicking on the trackball. FirmwareHtcHtcDesire started. At the end, we reboot the device.

For those who want to make a copy of the data, you need to select the nandroid - backup item before deleting the data, and then select restore - nandroid before the final reboot.

As you can see, if desired, this procedure is available to anyone. But still, if you are not confident in your abilities, I would not recommend carrying out this procedure yourself, but contacting specialists.

And in conclusion, I would like to note that, firmwareHtcHtcDesire carried out in this way will allow you to install any update, firmware, radio module, etc. on the device.

Installing the latest (4.2.2) Android on the old HTC Desire S

Development for Android

HTC Desire S can rightly be called an old man, it has been on sale for more than two years. I have had a device for more than a year and a half. Nevertheless, this is a device with a very good "filling", a high-quality screen and a metal body.

Surely, like all HTC fans, I was dragged away from their proprietary shell "Sense"... The stock apparatus included Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0.

Then there was a whole saga in anticipation of the official firmware on Android 4, the completed version of which never came out. Even before the release of this firmware "for developers" my nerves gave way and "custom", unofficial assemblies began to pour into the phone one after another. Was tested and official with Android 4.0.4... Some time passed and the choice settled on CM10.1 from Android 4.2.2 and all its charms, for which the hardware of the device is enough.

Let's get started!

The instruction is relevant for Windows OS.

It is worth warning that you do all the manipulations with your device yourself, carefully and on your own initiative, the author of this post is not responsible for anything that may happen to your device in the process.

Also, during the flashing process, the data will be erased. Contact log, SMS, etc. The phone book is restored from a Google account. It is impossible to restore the SMS archive as it could be done in "Sense". You need to take care of this before manipulating the phone. The data on the SD card will not be affected.

What do we need from the software during the flashing process:
1) HTC Sync drivers to work with the phone
2) Elements of Android SDK - drivers for working with the phone
3) Recovery - a program that allows you to work with a phone, with a memory card, firmware, etc., without an operating system on the phone itself
4) Firmware CM10.1 from Andromadus
5) A set of GAPPS - a set of services from Google

6) just in case, I attach Recovery, the one that is installed by default in the phone. Useful if you need to roll back to official firmware. To rollback, you also need to lock the bootloader back (see point 3 - Unlocking the bootloader).

It is worth noting that Desire S has other builds on Android 4.2.2, such as AOKP, PACman, AOSP, JellyTime, etc. For this article, I chose the CyanogenMod 10.1 build.

Go!

1) Install the HTC Sync package. It contains the necessary drivers to work with the phone via a PC.

2) Unpack the archive android-tools.zip to the C drive (you can do this anywhere, for our convenience, the address should be shorter, since these files will be accessed on the command line). Let after unpacking the files we have at the address C: \ android \

3) Unlocking the bootloader... It is necessary to replace the standard Recovery and install custom assemblies. We look at how to unlock the bootloader. Do not pay attention that our model is not in the list, select - "All Other Supported Models". Step 5 and 6 instructions for unlocking the bootloader - skip, tk. we already have the necessary files in the folder C: \ android \.

4) Installing third-party recovery... It is necessary to work with firmware files, directly install firmware, create backups and format system memory and caches.

To enter bootloader phone, you need to remove the battery for a couple of seconds, insert it back. Holding down the rocker button of the phone volume down press the power button. After a couple of seconds, a blue-red-green menu will appear bootloader"but.

We connect the phone to the PC, select the line with the volume rocker - fastboot(it is selected by default) and press the power button.

The archive from point 3 of the software for flashing - Recovery.zip is unpacked into C: \ android \.

We open the command line. If Windows XP: Start - run - cmd. If the later versions are: Start - in the "Find programs and files" field, write cmd, and then run the found program.

Using the command line, go to the folder with our files C: \ android \... To do this, type in the command line:

cd c: \ android \

Enter the following code on the command line:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and press enter. After a couple of seconds, Recovery is installed.

5) Formatting the system memory of the phone... To do this, we need to go to the new, installed Recovery... How to enter bootloader was discussed in the previous paragraph. On the menu bootloader"and select the green line with the volume rocker - Recovery and press the phone's power button. To be able to restore data and previous firmware, it is recommended to make a backup in the corresponding menu item Recovery.

IN Recovery(touch control) select the line wipe | format and choose further - wipe data / factory reset... After a few seconds, the phone's system memory will be cleared.

6) Installing the firmware.... We copy the files from points 4 and 5 of the software for flashing to the memory card in the phone. To do this, in the main Recovery menu, select the item - toggle usb storage... After a couple of seconds, the memory card will be detected in the PC and it will be possible to copy the firmware file and GAPPS to it.

After copying is complete, click - Disconnect in Recovery and get back to the main menu. We choose install from sdcard, find the copied firmware archive flinnycm101_saga_22 and install. After installing the firmware, install GAPPS in the same way. After the installation is complete, we go back to bootloader, for this now it is no longer necessary to do manipulations with the battery. In Recovery, select the bottom line - power menu and in it - reboot into bootloader

Is it done? left just a little bit.

7) Kernel firmware... To do this, open the archive on the PC flinnycm101_saga_22 from point 4 of the software and copy the file boot.img in C: \ android \.

Go to the Windows command line again and enter:

fastboot flash boot boot.img press enter. Done. Now go to the point fastboot menu bootloader"and we choose - reboot

The phone will boot up with the new firmware. You will need to do the initial setting of the language, Google account, etc. Several screenshots:

The system has many interesting settings, for example - setting the vibration response time of the touch keyboard.
Thank you.

How to flash HTC Desire?

HTC Desire is a communicator (smartphone) with the Android operating system. It was developed by HTC. Let's talk in more detail about how to flash HTC Desire in different ways.

Preparing for firmware

Firmware is the replacement or update of the phone software with a new one. Flashing your phone is the same as reinstalling Windows on a personal computer. For a successful flashing, you must complete the following steps:

To obtain superuser rights (root-rights) on the site unrevoked.com, download the program "Unrevoked". Root rights are a special account in UNIX systems. The owner of such an account can perform all operations without exception.
Run the downloaded program and select the "Hboot Driver" file. Then follow the instructions to install the HBOOT driver. You can download drivers for self-installation at unrevoked.com.
Next, you need to disable Desire and enable it in the HBOOT system. This can be done using the Power and Volume Down buttons. Press them at the same time.
Then the smartphone must be connected to the PC using a USB cable. We are waiting for the HBOOT USB PLUG message to appear, and go to the "Device Manager". Right-click on the Android 1.0 device and select the "Update drivers" section.
Click on "Search for drivers on this computer." Next, you need to select the folder into which the drivers were unpacked.
Exit HBOOT menu. The Volume Up, Volume Down buttons (moving through the menu items) and the Enter button will help you with this.
In normal mode, start your smartphone and turn on the "USB Build" mode.

If you installed HTC Sync, uninstall it, but keep the drivers. Next, launch Unrevoked and connect your device to your PC. Give your consent when requested information. Then wait. The device will reboot, and as a result, the message "Unrevoked 3 Painless root and reflash" should appear.

How to flash HTC Desire: the main part

The procedure will be as follows: first download the firmware. You can download it on the site w3bsit3-dns.com. Recommended firmwares are RuHD and InsertCoin.

Next, you need to clear all user data. To do this, in the device menu, select "Settings" -> "Privacy" -> "Reset data". This can also be done using the firmware recovery mode. To do this, go to the Recovery menu, select the "Wipe data / factory reset ->" Yes "section. Due to this, the firmware modules will not match.

How to install the firmware file for HTC Desire?

From the Recovery menu, select the "install zip from sd-card" file. Turn off or turn on signature verification (Clockwork) if necessary.
Next, find the zip firmware, select it and run it.
When the installation is complete, you will see the message “Installation completed”. Restart your smartphone and wait for the download to start.

The firmware usually takes about fifteen to thirty minutes. As a result, you should get a new version of Android.

How do I expand the memory for applications?

The phone firmware itself takes up a lot of free space. In order to download various applications, your smartphone may not have enough free memory. In this case, a special program will help you. For this:

Download the "ROM Manager" program from the "Market" and run it.
Next, find the item "Create partitions on the SD card". Select the size of the ext partition.
The device should reboot and a partition will be created.

Today we will install new custom firmware on HTC Desire S, that is, we will update from stock Android 2.3 to 4.2.2 + Sense 5. Tempting? Then let's get started with the installation! If you do everything in stages, then there should be no problems. I also want to remind you that I am not responsible for your actions - everything is at your own peril and risk.

HTC Desire S firmware- step-by-step instruction

We will install the CyanogenMod 10.1 firmware. I will not write about it for a long time, but to get acquainted with the functionality and various delights, I will post a video review of this CM10.1:

You will have a logical question: is it possible to put some other assembly? Answer: Of course, just google your firmware or use the XDA-Developers forum to do this. Well, or as a last resort, ask in the comments - we'll pick something up. Just for example, I chose CM10.1.

After reviewing the firmware for the Desire S, let's start installing:

First, download a package of firmware files: various drivers, recovery, a set of Google services - in general, everything that is useful to us.

1. Go to the downloaded folder and immediately install drivers to work with HTC Sync phone (htc sync setup_3.3.53).

2. We create for convenience on drive C: \ android folder and throw all the files there (there are four of them) from the downloaded folder android-tools.

3. I have already written the article, so calmly follow the link and follow the instructions. I want to note that HTC Desire S is not in the list (third item), so we select "All Other Supported Model".

4. Next, let's proceed with the recovery firmware... I have already written a lot about how to enter bootloader htc, but I still remind you: we take out and insert the phone battery, then hold down the volume decrease and press the power button. A three-color menu should appear - this is our bootloader.

5. Now connect Desire S to PC via USB. In the bootloader, go to fastboot item(move with the volume rocker) and press the phone's power button.

6. We return to the downloaded folder: we throw all files from Recovery (there are three of them) into the C: \ android we created.

7. Open the CMD-command line (who does not know how: Start -> Run -> enter cmd). We introduce:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and again Enter. Recovery is installed! Excellent!

8. I advise you to make a data backup for every fireman. To do this, go to the bootloader, select recovery item, and there we are looking for " backup and restore".

10. And here it is. installing firmware on Desire S.

The phone must be connected to the PC.
Go to Recovery and select the item toggle usb storage.
Now go to the downloaded folder, then copy the firmware and GAPPS folders (flinnycm101_saga_22 and gapps-jb-20130301-signed) to the Desire S memory card.
When the copying is complete, in the same Recovery, click on the Disconnect item. Next, select install from sdcard, look for and install the CyanogenMod firmware file "a - flinnycm101_saga_22. (In detail: Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from sdcard -> looking for where we uploaded the downloaded firmware, select and press (do not hold down!) The power button on the smartphone)
When our firmware is installed, we install Google services and services in the same way - GAPPS.
In general, almost everything is ready, only flash the kernel... Going to Bootloader in this way: in recovery, select power menu -> reboot into bootloader.

11. We return to our PC, go to the downloaded folder that we all got tired of and open the firmware file flinnycm101_saga_22, from where we copy the file boot.img to the created C: \ android \

12. Going to CMD and enter:
