Into the breach........

[flying dog]

Well, I just got off the phone with HTC. Wow.

 

Story: My phone is "stuck" on 2.1 and I can't get it to upgrade.

 

Got a "magic" number from the person on the phone and I have downloaded the 173 Meg file to the PC I am on now.

 

This is the page from which I am working:

On the phone I have HTC Sync (the latest one) and APP Monster to back up my apps.

 

Another one was mentioned but by that time I had APP Monster and it seems to work.

 

On the PC (at home) I have HTC Sync (Yeah, sorry it is here I have it, not the phone) and another Sync program which works "better" than HTC Sync for actually syncing the phone.

 

Anyway, what I think I need to do - I am saying it here to make sure I am going about this the right way - I get home, put the file on my home PC, and get ready.

 

Before I do that, I run APP Monster and backup all my Apps to the SD card.

 

I also run this other APP to backup my contacts. (Shame I can't remember its name but anyway....)

 

I am down to step 7.

 

Well, I have the file on the machine now. That was just mentioned.

 

As I am plugging it into a DESKTOP, the PC's Hybernation is not going to happen, the phone will get all the power it needs from the PC.

 

Step 8 has been done already - hasn't it? I have the RUU file.

 

Step 9

 

That wipes the data and put the phone into bootloader mode.

 

Step 10 and on.

 

Well, ok.

 

Now I am worried.

 

If I have the 173 Meg file, do I still need internet connection?

 

Coz I don't have one. Mine is via the phone I am trying to upgrade. (Don't ask about the cost, etc.)

 

Do I need to find someone with an ADSL connection?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

FD.
