You can't, this OTA is only for 1.27.415.7
You need to find the RUU for that rom and/or have someone make a system.img dump of that rom (or the patched Froyo 3.30.415.6)

can we make a system.img dump if the device is not rooted?

Nope, it has to be rooted but temproot should also do.

can we just take the Arabic support from this OTA and add it to any other FROYO rom?!

And what is that "Arabic support" in your opinion that is hiding in this OTA?

@blay0
support means libwebcore.so and libskia.so that supports joint character . till now there is no froyo supports arabic/persian/urdo lang. i think with adding this lib maybe framework.jar is possible to support each rom.

Now I dare you to extract those libs and jars from this OTA and present them to me if you can.

i don't know but try comparing it to the WWE 2.2 OTA and and you should notice the difference because the WWE OTA doesn't support Arabic properly.

to BlaY0:
I didn't found these lib in the OTA,however the user of this update confirmed the proper display of Arabic character and the right to left.
in my version I have the Arabic character not connected and not RTL.
so,if you can help us by any mean please explain !.

Yes, I can help but 1st you have to understand that this update alone is useless! It consists of binary patches (deltas) that can be applied to certain binaries only. Those binaries are in 1.27.415.7 ROM only. So unless you have 1.27.415.7 ROM on your Legend, there's no way to construct final version of updated binaries with this OTA. Is this understood?
Sent from my HTC Legend

yes MR,understood !!
so our input for what we need is :
1-this OTA
2-a member with the ROM INSTALLED on his phone.
kindly explain ,how can we get an image from this user:
1-temproot using visinary
2- ?
thx for your time and your patientce

This Egypt legend rom ( Nearest rom to Arabic rom ) by full Arabic support(1.27.466.5)

Dear BlaY0
do you can match to them ?

We need the exact match .this ROM is not suitable by any mean.

get dump file from whom that already updated . or copy
libwebcore libskia libskiagl and framework.jar from. their phone . will help.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

There are 3 ways:
find RUU for 1.27.415.7
find someone with 1.27.415.7 on his/her Legend
find someone who already did the OTA to 3.30.415.6
2nd and 3rd require at least temproot. When you have some sort of temproot (su and superuser.apk installed) you can proceed with enabling of USB debugging mode and adb shell or use of some terminal app executing su. After that point you will have to make an archive of /system to same place on SD card (/sdcard). Archive is done via tar utility which is part of busybox which you need to push to let say /data/local...
Try to follow this post and let me know of your progress.

Those files are not necesarily enough... I'd like to see libicudata.so aswell and some other files.... actually I'd like to see the whole dump with all the Arabic translations etc.
EDIT: You can aswell make a dump of entire system partition with dump_image which you have to adb push to /data/local as you would busybox. It also needs temproot.

I will contact a member on the ce4arab.com ,who had this ota applied if he can help.

OK, lemme know when you have the dump.

Well, if you use the goldcard method, it will definitely work because I've went from WWE to Asian version once, and no problem making update.
BUT TRUST ME, YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT.
The official WWE version has a new bootloader and if you wan't to root you device AFTER the upgrade, you can't do it directly...you will have to downgrade to 1.31.xx version to be able to do it...So think wisely...In my opinion...root the device and install MDJ version...it's stable and updated.

The same answer goes to you my friend.

Hey guys, tried this with 2nd different cards and neither worked. I'm wondering if there were any extra steps i was missing or if my cards are just no good?
If so, what's the cheapest card I can get and from where?
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
what do you mean by neither worked?what were you trying to do?what were you able to do?
details!we need details!
Well I put the card in my phone, formatted it. Plugged it in to the computer, set it to charge only with debugging enabled and ran the program. I set it to try mmc1 and mmc0 neither of which worked.
I also tried following a few tutorials and none of those worked either.
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not but I don't think I am which is why I think I need a new sd card.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
There is definitely something wrong between the communication from the PC to the phone...although i can see what...but if it doesn't retrieve anything in either mmc0 and mmc1...then it's not connecting to the phone properly i think...
See and I don't know why. I'm using the cable that came with the phone and I even had the sdk installed. Gah! I need help haha
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
hm... do you have the drivers installed?(i actually don't know if they're needed though...)
Yeah I downloaded the driver pack through the Android skd so I really don't know what to do haha
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
ok...so, if you go to device manager after connecting the cable and leaving the phone in "charge only" mode, you see the device properly installed?
I'll have to tell you tomorrow, my computer is down so I've been using my friends

Steps to flash Gingerbread official WWE on your S-ON IS

Hey guys i was just right now successful in flashing my phone with gingerbread IS and i love the speed and everything !! i saw manyy people asking questions about how to flash and everything and once upon a time even i was in a troublesome state with this problem so made this thread for noobs !!
Step 1 : Download the WWE update i.e.RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7_Radio_20 .2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M_release_187295_sign ed from the thread link given below , as it is supposed to be the latest as mentioned by a lot of members !!
here's the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
Step 2 : A Gold Card, enables you to install official Android ROMs intended for your phone . Note that if you want to flash custom ROMs, you will have to permanently root your phone instead.
Creation of Gold Card :
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
This link mentions Desire HD but even works for Incredible S ..
Step 3 :
Here you require the previously downloaded WWE file just run it click on " next "
as per the instructions go !!
make sure you have atleast connected your phone once to htc sync software before performing this complete operation !!
One more thing the microSd that you turn into the GoldCard can be reformatted and used again as a regular mmc !!
Enjoy your HTC Incredible S with Gingerbread and HTC Sense 2.1 !!! Special thanks to knightrocker helping me out with flashing my IS !! Click the thanks button if you like this post !!
Addition :
This is a full rom and will erase everything!
If u wish to retain ur apps just do the exact same but download the OTA from the other thread instead of this one ...
will my current apps and settings be wiped or need to reinstall everything again?
yea
your phone will be wiped off

Mah nishma?
What did you do to your phone? Those are used for motorola RSD Lite, but if you flash that you will lose H+ capabilities as currently there is no way of going back to Bell Stock firmware.
To help repair your phone, I can take an image of my bell XT860 /system folder for you, it's running stock 2.3.6 with SU and busybox. Let me know if that can help you. I can also give you instructions on how to get the system.img back onto your phone once you've received it.

Actually since you only flashed system image its easy for you to get back on bell. That's why I had you only flash system.img
You can go danifunkers way, which would put you back to true bell stock. Or you can flash the deodexed bell system found in the dev forum

I also had wondered what they all were. Some of them are obvious like radio.img is the radio firmware logo.bin is the boot logo(the moto dual core logo) I googled some of them and found this
http://and-developers.com/partitions:cdt
It doesn't have one for our particular phone but it gives you an idea. Google any terms you don't know to get better understanding
You can flash a different boot logo if you like, there's a thread in the themes and apps forum about it, if you follow the links you'll get to a bionic dub page that has flashable logos.

The xml is for rsdlite. It has a list of commands for it so it knows what order and partition to flash. If you open it in a text editor you'll see what I mean. I actually used it to write a simple script for motofastboot to completely reflash my phone since rsdlite doesn't have a linux version

Just as a note /system and rom are the same. When you flash a rom you replace /system.

I'll take a system image of 2.3.6 for you and you can re-flash your original Bell image. I'm sure it will be easier for maintenance over the long run, as Bell updates things, it is nice not having to mess around with the phone to make it work. I'll follow up with a PM once I have the file uploaded.

Danifunker, boazal that might be a good idea, then you can install safestrap and mess around in safe mode and still take OTA updates however (and perhaps you can clarify this danifunker as im not sure) when the 2.3.4>2.3.6 update came out was that only /system that was updated or does it include radio/kernel/etc updates. Would having an old kernel and a new /system prevent updates going forward

Endroid, good questions. AFAIK in all builds all components are updated, it probably has to do something with the signing keys. All android update releases are patches, not full file replacements including the boot partition. These patches run to the effect of doing a search and replace of bits of data at specified locations. If the original file doesn't match what the patch is expecting, you will end up with some really bad outcomes, which is why an android update will fail.
This is why I haven't done any safestrapping yet (I'm not sure which partitions are being touched by it) and haven't reinstalled CWM since getting my phone back from the shop (For the same reason as safestrapping).

Endroid, good questions. AFAIK in all builds all components are updated, it probably has to do something with the signing keys. All android update releases are patches, not full file replacements including the boot partition. These patches run to the effect of doing a search and replace of bits of data at specified locations. If the original file doesn't match what the patch is expecting, you will end up with some really bad outcomes, which is why an android update will fail.

I believe safestrap will completely remove all components when you uninstall recovery although im not 100% on that. I know the original idea behind it was that you could still receive OTA updates because /system stays intact, although many of us use it to dualboot instead
So I guess its up to boazal if he wants to ensure he's on the update path or if he would rather mod his device
Sure would make it easy if we just had the bell fastboot files

It's all about RTL + BIDI, so the most important is the rom that can have it.

Considering they are in Israel, the language of choice for them is probably Hebrew. That is a right-to-left language.
Doesn't the XT860 allow for addition of left-to-right languages? My dad might be getting an Android phone as well and would probably want the same thing, if the option is available.

(in Israel English is not a limitation at all), the major issue is the RTL+BIDI in SMS messages and contacts.
try to figure it out, mom send you sms invitation to the 21/2.
you shuld be on the twelve, or in the twenty first???
I speak english and french which are both supported in the stock rom in canada. I know I've seen discussion on the very topic of numbers in RTL languages recently. Ask user willis111 about it.
