Error 801812DC while installing HTC update - HTC Titan

Hello all
Today I got the notification of an update available from HTC for my unlocked Titan (on Three UK), currently on 8107.
Yet again another HTC update that does not tell what it is for, but I decide to install it anyway.
However, the update process fails every time with error 801812DC (see pictures attached), saying that there is a problem in the back-up of the phone.
Rebooting the phone, the computer and connect/disconnect did not help, always the same.
Also, this error is not included in the list on windowsphone.com.
Anyone with the same issue?
Thanks

EDIT: Solved. Probably I did not have enough space on disk for the backup.
EDIT2: No, not solved. Now I have space, but still same problem.

I got the update too!
I am installing it now - I am guessing it's the drivers fix for 8107 based on the back up creation steps it has followed. If I get the error, I will update it. I am on step 7. Hope this is a fix and not another lock down update!
HEADS UP: those who want custom ROM etc, DONT update just yet.
EDIT: At step 9 - my phone restarted. I unlocked the screen and it said 'Update successful'. However since last 7 minutes my Zune is stuck at step 9 and says 'restarting your phone'

Did you check that you have enough free space to create the backup?

Actually no. Thanks for the hint, this could have been the reason.
However, I tried again the update after closing a few applications (which were possibly using some space on disk), and the update was succesful.
Now after the update I realise I have only 6 Gb left on my C: drive.
Anyway, if that was the reason, why not to say: "Disk full" instead of "Error 801812DC"???? What does Microsoft expect from their users?
Thank you all for your support!

I am having the same error message. How much space did you free up?
I now have 11.3GB free on my C: drive and it is still not working. Same error every time.

How much space are you using on your phone? You need at min the same free space... If you can't then delete all the music etc to make the backup smaller

Tried a new cable and no joy, also deleted all the music off my phone. Really don't want to factory reset so might wait for another update to come out.

Again, 801812DC
And here I am again, Tango update, same problem.
So I can confirm it was NOT due to lack of hard drive space. Now I have 30 Gb free on my hard drive, and 6 Gb of memory used on my Titan. Still, 801812DC.
Anybody figured a solution?

What's ur current spl/boot loader version? You need to upgrade to most recent htc spl 2.6 which meant to address error in updating with Zune.

Bootloader version: 2.5.160015.3
No clue about SPL, where do I find it?
Found the update from HTC here:
http://www.htc.com/www/help/htc-titan/#download
HTC says it addresses errors 80070013 / 8007000F, hopefully mine too.
Now I have applied it, will try the update to Tango again.

The same thing happened to me, I end up manually restarting phone before zune completes. And I agree with ur caution that for those who wants hspl and custom rom don't attempt to install this update! Not worth the hassle.

Thanks habnzrot, but unfortunately no, even after installing Bootloader 2.6 from HTC, same problem. Backup interrupts at 11%, phone restarts and error.
Any help?
maTTeo

Ok, really tried everything now, including:
- Updating SPL to 2.6 (latest available from HTC)
- Unliking the phone to Zune
- Reinstalling Zune and pairing the phone again
- Deleting the folder "Windows Phone Backup" as suggested by someone on the internet
- Running Zune as Administrator
- Deleting most of the apps from the phone
- Creating even more disk space on my computer
- Using another USB cable (instead of the stock HTC USB cable)
I phoned HTC support, and their solution is hard reset. If, after that, still does not work, I have to send my phone to repair.
Obviously I would like to leave hard reset as last option.
I noticed so many other people have the same problem:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...&CurrentScope.Filter=wp7&askingquestion=false
But no-one can answer. I wonder:
- Why this error code is not included in the web page I am sent to, by Zune, to check the error code?
- There must be ONE guy at Microsoft, who implemented this error code. Why they are not answering and telling us what it is?
I am very frustrated.

Have you tried updating with another computer?
Also, try this:
1. Run services.msc (If you're using Windows XP, press Start, click Run, type services.msc then press Enter. If you're using Windows Vista or later with no Run in the Start menu, type services.msc in the search box then press Enter.)
2. Look for the "Automatic Updates" service, make sure it is started. If not, start it. Change its startup type to Automatic.
3. Look for the "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" service, make sure it is started. If not, start it. Change its startup type to Manual.
4. Look for the "Automatic Updates" service, make sure it is started. If not, start it. Change its startup type to Automatic.

I'm also having the same issue doing the force update trick however I'm getting a different Update Error Code 80180048!!
I've searched the web and tried every solution but still no success??

Htc Hero restore original bootloader

Hi...
Can anybody help, my Display is dying at the moment, and i want to send it in for repair,
but i need to restore the original bootloader,
can anybody help, download link for the bootloader and manual,,instruction..
Many thanks
Markus
I think you can download the official firmware somewhere, when you flash it everything should be back to the way it was.
What version of firmware do you need? WWE? T-Mobile? Orange?
If it's the WWE 2.73 version - click here - This will restore the phone to factory settings including bootloader/ROM/Default Settings e.t.c
Hello,
I tried to flash the UCP cited for the same screen problem. I checked my windows drivers are correct (sync between the hero and the perfect pc). Every time I have the same error message, 170 which would normally be bad drivers, which should not be my case since retry several times. I mark the following 170: wrong version of bootloader. The same thing happens whether on a PC or XP win7.
Does anyone have a solution please??

Are you opening product code RM-801 or have you moved the firmware to a different folder? Not much can be done from the RM-801 folder.

It's some odd registry error, right? I think you just click through it. You'll have to navigate to the program folder to open the launcher. IIRC, that's what I had to do.

This. In order for the Programming menu to be available, you need to select "Open Product" from the File menu and choose the correct product code (RM-819, RM-801, etc.).
My problem is I can never get passed the "Checking Mode" or "Starting" stage. I keep pressing the volume up button + insert USB cable until I feel a short vibration. After that, Windows will recognise my device as DLOAD and after a short while, the device restarts. Nokia Case Suite will then prompt me to unplug the USB cable, shutdown the device and do the volume up + insert USB cable routine again. Rinse and repeat. What did I do wrong? I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
EDIT: I solved my problems by going to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers\ directory and manually installing all the x64 drivers.
Im also having a few problems with NCS... i just figured I would piggy back off this thread rather than start a whole new one....
When installing I get a error that says.... "ERROR 1904.Module C:\Program Files (x86)\CommonFiles\nokia\Service Layer \C\Service Modules\ServiceModule_00003\msml4.dll failed to register" I hit ignore but now when i connect my phone to my PC... it isnt being recognized as DLOAD or QC or anything. I am at a loss... i went through and installed the drivers that were in the Nokia folder manually, except one it wouldnt install for some reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having the same problem on my lumia 920. I didn't find a solution yet. This thread is the only thing I found so far.
Edit: I tried ncs on x64 w7 and x86 w8

[Q] Latest WWE rom

Can anyone download for me the latest firmware with WiFi security fix from here? I need RUU_HTC Gratia_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_2.37.405.11_Radio_47.54.35.20_7.13.35.13_release_223105_signed.exe file, but download seems locked for me, don't know why.
I just tried to download the RUU but it seems that the file is missing. Either they have removed it or it is temporarily unavailable.
Maybe somebody downloaded it and has it saved and can could upload it
What are the 6th and 7th characters in your device serial number? Those two characters are what identify which device you have. It says there is no update necessary for my serial number (which is an AT&T Aria, device code R0).
I have a Gratia, I think that's why it gives us different results. 6th and 7th places are "RJ". This is what I get when I enter my SN. When I click the download button I get a 404

"RJ" is that characters. (for example, H T 1 2 8 R J 0 0 5 1 8, it's not my serial, but leads to the same update)
And yes, branded devices wouldn't get that update, they'll get it later.
Seems that file is absent on HTC's servers for some reasons. Well, I had reported to HTC support, and they could not say anything certain about it, just "contact to service center".
Yes, they don't like to make it easy to get certain RUUs sometimes.
If you load the frame in a new tab and click the download button it gives me this URL but still a 404.

Yep, i've found it already. Thanks nevertheless.
For now i'll wait for HTC support's answer.

I've continued conversation with support. Firstly they've sayed that that update is unapplicable to my russian Gratia, and i should go to the service center if i have any wifi issue. After some explanations (about unavailable update to non-russian but still european phones) they've promised to report to their engineers, and still recommended to contact service center. I don't know what to think about it. The situation looks pretty stupid for now. They have that update and i even know it filename (whoa!) but they don't want me to get that file for some reason.
I can only try to install stock rom to my Gratia and try to get FOTA update, if it's present as FOTA. But i don't think that it'll be successfull. BTW i can loose S-OFF in that case.

I hope you realize that the "wifi security fix" just fixes a software bug in Sense UI. If you are running a custom ROM that is not based on HTC's Sense UI, there is no reason to apply the update.
I know, dude. I'm even use modified CM on Gratia instead of stock rom. But some times ago for some people i've made custom rom (that was based on sense) and i want to keep it updated.
Hi, anyone have this rom -> Gratia_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_2.37.405.11_Radio_47.54.35.20_7.13.35.13_release_223105_signed.exe if yes plese upload it! I have RUU_Liberty_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_2.32.405.1_Radio_47.52.35.18_7.13.35.05_release_154177_signed.exe

Please help me

Hi,
First of all thank you for taking time to read this.
I have a nokia lumia 800 which has never been updated my info shows as follows;
H3G UK SW Variant ID235 v3
1600.2483.8106.11500
059L8M3
RM801
I have a locked bootloader and i literally have tried everything to update/flash my phone. It fails everytime. Nokia suite gives a error code: cannot change mode and CAB sender just says an unexpected error has occured.
I have tried about 15 different firmwares, i have tried the refurbish option but it asks me to turn my phone off and hold the power button ect, which does not work.
I am stuck with this phone for at least another year and i at least want it to be as good as it can be. I check the forums ever single day for new updates and methods but i am slowly losing hope.
I am pulling my hair out, please can some one help me. Please.

what do you mean?
Connect your Windows Phone to a PC and launch the Zune software
Click on Phone > Settings > Update. Allow the software to tell you whether an update is available. If so, skip this guide. If not continue to the next step.
Time to force the update. Click another button (any of the options above or below the word Update). Then click the Update button again and try to count how much time does it take to find out that the phone is up to date. When you can predict when zune will stop checking for an update and tell you that it's up to date, press look for an update again and turn the internet off on PC in a second before it was supposed to finish checking for an update. It takes some skills and time, but I updated my phone in 5 attempts, so it is not supposed to be very difficult. If everything is OK Zune should display a notification that an update is available. Now reconnect to the internet and continue with the update process through the Zune software.

Update to Amber Right Now - Easy Method

Hi Guys
I use a Lumia 920 locked on EE Uk Network and was very impatient that we have still not received the Amber Update and after much searching I am finally on Amber and loving it.
So Here is How you do it :-
1 ] Download NOKIA SOFTWARE UPDATeR FOR RETAIL
2] Install it on your PC > It will also automatically Install any drivers or additional software required
3] Once Installed Follow Instructions to Connect your Phone through Cable to PC
4] It will Show you the update available for your Phone
5] Follow Instructions to Download and install the software update.
6] I normally do another full hard reset after updates just in case (optional)
ENJOY!!!
FAQ
1] DOES THIS WIPE YOUR PHONE?
This way of updating will WIPE everything of your phone so a backup of your stuff is a must unless you are happy to start from scratch like me, It wont effect your purchase as they are linked to your MS Account, game saves and other stuff will be effected.
2] IS THE SOFTWARE TRUSTWORTHY?
The software is generally for use by People at Nokia Care Centres to update phones, as for the validity of the software with regards to viruses and stuff I found the link on google and you are welcome to search for the same if you can find another download link by googling ( Nokia software updater for retail 3.08)
3] WHAT IF THINGS GO WRONG?
I can't help you in anyway as I am just posting the resources, but it is a very straight forward process that even a 5 year old could do it.
ENJOY!! -
Does not work with ATT phones in the US. It finds the version of software that was already sent OTA six months ago. It is not Amber. It also gets and internal error after it downloads said software due to it being the same as already on the phone. 1314.0001 is what this package finds, and it is what was released OTA several months ago and is what is on my phone now.

Hi Thanks for the feedback, so maybe there is no update available for your device on the nokia servers then, I know it works as I have the amber update right now as enjoying every bit of it and its still not released on the UK networks except for vodafone.
Maybe you can keep trying every alternate days, and lets us know
thank you.
If there is no firmware on NCS servers you can not use NSU anyway.

This way of updating will WIPE everything of your phone so a backup of your stuff is a must unless you are happy to start from scratch like me, It wont effect your purchase as they are linked to your MS Account, game saves and other stuff will be effected.
2] IS THE SOFTWARE TRUSTWORTHY?
The software is generally for use by People at Nokia Care Centres to update phones, as for the validity of the software with regards to viruses and stuff I found the link on google and you are welcome to search for the same if you can find another download link by googling ( Nokia software updater for retail 3.08)
3] WHAT IF THINGS GO WRONG?
I can't help you in anyway as I am just posting the resources, but it is a very straight forward process that even a 5 year old could do it.

Many thanks, been waiting for what feels like an eternity for my Three Lumia 920 to get the update - Nokia site still says it is coming soon for Three UK. I downloaded the software, plugged my phone in and it said the update is available. Downloading right now :good:
Thank you worked like a charm took me 5 minutes for everything
Stuck with 18 applications that won't download
Lumia 820 on Orange UK (never again! Could any company be worse.)
Took rather longer than 5 mins as I am out in the sticks and it's 1.22Gb to download.
I am now looking at "18 downloads" in the Store, each one of which says "Downloading application Attention required. Tap here."
I tap, and get "We can't connect to the Store at the moment. Check your data connection or try later". Hit retry ... and go round in a circle.
Or I get "Downloading application. There has been a problem completing your request. Try again later. Error code 8000ffff"
The connection should be OK as I can see bbc.co.uk, for instance.
Perhaps I'll try in the middle of the night.
cant update mine, is a 920 in MX telcel. it just download the update but at last time its says "error writing firmware on device" and the phone reboots. What can I do?
Does amber work with my USA ATT phone

There is apparently a problem with the Procam and it seems to have disappeared from the store at the moment as well, I believe Nokia has pulled it for some reason.
Lot of people are posting that it is not available for your device.
Answering my own question

I used Windows 7 and it worked on that.
Just saw your 2nd picture. I think everything to do with Windows Phone 8 needs Windows 7 or above. I couldn't do anything with my Lumia on my XP machines. Quite why not I can't imagine, but that's Microsoft for you.

I got Windows 7 and 8 machines too. I'll try it there. My Vista machine is my daily use laptop. Oh well.
Thanks for the input.
