Failed to update HTC Desire S to latest firmware with Android 2.3.5 My phone configuration is:


Model HTC Desire S
Android 2.3.3
HTC Sense 2.1
Build number 1.47.401.4


Today I've got notification that an update is available for my phone with:


HTC Sence 3.0
Android 2.3.5


I've downloaded the update and started it. My phone rebooted, then for several seconds I saw green icon showing that update is going. After that I've received the red exclamation mark icon. I've triggered the recover console and saw the following:

Finding update package...

(Status 7)
Installation aborted.


As far as I understood from the log, the CRC failed for the EReader.apk. Does that mean that the updated downloaded incorrectly? Or maybe there are some issues with my phone?

Can someone, please, help me with this issue:


Should I forget about this update and wait for the next one?
Is it the bug in the system or in my phone?
Can I somehow (without rooting the device) overcome the problem and install the update?
Any other thoughts are welcome. Thank you.
Mostly likely the update over the air downloaded the wrong archive, which failed to automatically install. In addition to that I found on several forums that the phone had many broken stuff after such update. Therefore I've decided to update it manually.

I've downloaded the zip archive with latest official firmware, put it on my sdcard, rebooted the phone into recover console. It automatically found my zip archive and the phone was updated. Everything works fine now.

The complete instructions together with latest firmware can be found here (Russian language): http://www.youhtc.ru/forum/showthread.php?p=304305&amp;posted=1#post304305

I've translated them in short below:


Download the zip archive with RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe from here
Rename the zip archive to PG88IMG.zip and put it in the root directory on sd card
Power off the phone
Press volume-down button and then power button.
The recovery console will pop up. The phone will automatically find the zip file and check it. It will ask you to confirm the update. If you're OK with that, the phone will be updated.
