Hello all,
Apologies in advance for my potentially basic question (but I have searched on the forum and am still unable to find an answer to my question)
I currently have a Droid DNA (from Verizon) however I use it in an international country with a GSM carrier (the phone is unlocked so I just out in the SIM and used it)
I have not and do not wish to root my phone (I use it for work and work email "Good" can only work on non-rooted phones) so
My question is how do I update my phone from its current version (4.1.1. software #:1.15.605.4 710RD) to a newer version
(P.S. not that since I'm not using my phone on Verizon's network Software update---> Check new is permanently greyed out and it also won't work while I am on wifi)
I thought about manually downloading stock roms but all the threads with them have dead links
Can anyone help please?
Try finding the most recent ruu. It comes in an exe form and it pretty much does everything for you and you get an update.

Great thanks for this.
Unfortunately the zip file doesn't seem to work as I renamed it to apk but it gave a "" error when I tried to install.
Please can you tell me what I am doing wrong and what I should do to install it
Also please does anyone have links to stock roms for the Droid DNA so I can run the RUU. As I mentioned earlier I can't install cooked roms as I need a stock rom for work email
Anyone?

You install it on your computer. Its a .exe file, so it only works on windows. Lock your bootloader, then run the .exe. It will put you back to stock

Cool, thanks. I think you guys may be misunderstanding my question.
I am currently using a stock rom and want to update to another stock rom.

Unfortunately, there is only the 1.15.605.1 Stock RUU, so it is not possible to give an update as to make GSM users, unless you are Verizon users, only with bootloader unlock and root, you can update manually 2.04 or 2.06

I had a thought that came to my mind.
I understand that the big issue with the rollback is the bootloader or w/e
I'm so tired of my v1 of the 2.1 leak.
Is it possible to use an image of the OTA 2.1 since I'm assuming the bootloader from the OTA and the leak is the same....
Any ideas?
Re: Question
You would think so but issue with bootloader is they are the same version with s- on. With that the device assumes the its is same version as leak and you get an error when trying to flash. Say in version you are trying to load is older than the one you have. If that weren't true then rooting would be possible on the leak. Sorry.

I'd think you should be able to flash the OTA update. Since you're on leak v1, you stand to get quite a few improvements and bug fixes, at the very least. It won't help you root unfortunately, but it would still be an upgrade for you, if you don't mind a brand new flash.
Re: Question
Yeah you would think but ota has lower version of bootloader. The leak has 1.49 and ota has 1.46 or 1.47. And device assumes ota is older version of Android. The only version you can flash once on leak is desire ruu which is a new release. There is I post for it in the Android development forum.

What about leak v3? It's basically the same as the OTA and you should be able to update to that.

Download ROM HERE
It seems to be a Verizon Droid Eris 2.1 Official ROM.

Yes you can use leak version 2 or 3. Or the release which they are installing on all phones as they produced them in Feb. Before Eris got discontinued.

Alright so if I'm reading all this correctly I should be able to flash into a newer leak...
Does anyone have any idea how I'm supposed to do this?
Do I flash to Leak V3 or to the desire ruu rom?
Thanks for all the great answers by the way.
From the looks of things I'm not as stuck as I thought I was.

If i were you i would flash with the RUU rom.
Granted they're both the same OS, its the official one from Verizon.
Better safe than sorry

Yep thats what I did. I put the RUU over Leak v3 and at the least I am "offical" now since I couldnt do anything anyway (root, etc). Simple process with the RUU.
Can someone point me in the right direction as to how I use the Ruu?
Do I install it on my computer first or just put it directly onto my SD card like with the v1 rom?

Hello, I did an OTA update and now I have version 1.45.1500.3 and cannot revert back to stock because the RUU on the site is version 1.45.1500.2 and it's impossible to downgrade. I was wondering if anyone has the current version?

In my defense, I had just joined the forum yesterday and for the first time unlocked the bootloader, removed root, flashed a custom rom and kernel. But the OTA update was performed before I even came onto XDA, so I didn't know that because of it I would not be able to revert to stock. Now I do.

Same here. I want to get ICS back but I don't know what to do. Now my phones stuck with no rom
don't flash the ICS ruu if you are still on Gingerbread. If you are unable to accept the O T A update to ICS then you will need to s off your device in order to flash the ICS ruu.
If you are able to accept the ICS update, then all you need to do is root your phone and you can flash any custom ICS ROM without ever having to worry about the ruu. Unless of course you want to revert everything back to as it is out of the box then you will need to re l

Unless of course you want to revert everything back to as it is out of the box then you will need to relock the bootloader, and flash the ruu.
However you are correct on how you renamed the ruu to PH18IMG just don't add dot zip or it will not work because it's already a ZIP file
Now to make sure you don't screw yourself, absolutely never flash PH18IMG I c s image over gingerbread or you will brick your device or possibly semi brick your device.
Do keep in mind that there is an amaze 4 G Bible that will teach you anything and everything you need to know about screwing with this phone lol

Um you seen a bit mis-informed in this area, yes you can flash the ICS ruu from GB since it's upgrading the device's system files, you can even flash the same ruu over the current system setup of the same file version, only thing you cannot do without s-off is downgrade files/flash an older version ruu.

First off I'm not misinformed dude! You've been being kind of a **** lately by the way. I simply confuse myself by saying ruu instead of leaked I c s ROM because if I'm correct which I hope I am this time you can't flash the leaked version without s off. Is that better

The leaked roms are ruu files, I haven't been a **** either, your attitude is very close to that but I shall say no more on it, I've noticed how you talk to new members, so yeah, last time I talked to you about it, you snapped at me as if I was insulting or flaming you in any way, but that's all I have to say on the topic, if I see the rude attitude or response again, I will be reporting you.
That is all, have a good night, sir.

Actually, you are misinformed. You can flash the ICS "Leak". It's actually an official ROM. You can flash it over Gingerbread. The only time you need S-Off is when your Amaze is for another carrier and you want to use a ROM that is not made for your carrier.
Hi,
I would like to install a non rooted version of ICS on my Thunderbolt.
This Thunderbolt is only being used for development, so I don't pay verizon on it, meaning the OTA doesn't work.
Would anyone know where I could find the PG05IMG.zip of the whole ICS update ?
Thank you

You would have to ask HTC, Verizon, (or Football? maybe) if you can find him for an RUU.
There was never one distributed that I have seen.
I compiled it together with 2.11.605.19 just as they would have on the device itself with the OTApkg.zip which contains many patch files.
There is no RUU that I have found yet, if I see one I will PM you a link for sure.
Closest you can get, is I can make a non rooted rom, but you would still need to be able to flash it.....so I don't know.

Oh then nevermind thanks, I'll just get the rooted one.
I'm looking for this too, as my bolt seems dead. I was on twisted's multi 1/13 but got frequent boot loops stopping at boot splash... So I tried to go back to stock but it still loops the same way. I was hoping the new OTA might do the trick.

Hey guys,
I'm not a developer and I've moved on from my Thunderbolt to a Note II meaning it has no more Verizon service. Do you think they'll be coming out with whatever file I need to get ICS on my phone without rooting? If there is no option, I can go the rooting route, but I would like to keep everything stock and this as a playtoy if possible.

The update didnt come in the form of an ruu. They made it a damn ball of patches that have to be applied to the stock .19 ROM. The ROM also cant have any system apps removed to make it work.

if you want to install the RUU and make ur tmobile one a dev edition you should install it from here http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
should be the very top/first link on the list.
t-mobile havent released the RUU for their htc one variant yet... making very difficult for those who flashed a custom recovery and now want to go back to its original state and be able to instal ota updates again.
make sure ur CID have 11111111 (eight ones!!) before installing

i have the t-mobile htc one that i hcnaged to the dev edition. there was an ota update today (1.29.1540.17) and when it tried to install, it said that I am running a modified version of the system and to protect my phone, that it cannot update it.
i am not running anything modified... my phone is unlocked and s-off but nothing more...not rooted...no custom recovery...nada....... do i need to make it s-on or something ?
