Guys, he speaks about official OTA updates (Over The Air), did you read OP first?
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Free mobile app

I understand, but this happened to me before, it was because I have rooted my device. Try installing from PC with PC Companion

I unlocked my bootloader without saving the TA partition, and because of that I cannot to OTA updates.

What i did was:
- install the original FRF91 (search the forums, you will find the link)
- install (from recovery or OTA) the update
The last step also put the stock recovery on and that was it ...

[TUT][ARC]how to get rooted 2.3.3 with locked bootloader

First of all thanks to kokbiel for discovering this!
Do not try this if you have an unlocked bootloader or if you dont know what your doing! I'm not resposible if you break or brick your phone!
If you're allready on a rooted .181 or .184 and OTA update is available for you just update your firmware. If there is no OTA update available for your customazation version follow these instuctions:
- flash back to 3.0.A.2.181 generic with the flashtool
- Use Gingerbreak or Superoneclick to root your device
- Update your Arc using a OTA(over the air) update(Go to settings->About phone->Software update)
- Enjoy your rooted 2.3.3!!!
Update 1: it seems that the OTA update is not working if you did any modifications to/deleted system files so it's adviced to always flash the .181 firmware provided in this post
Update 2: if you have any battery problems after flashing the .181 firmware(if it's only showing 1%) removing the battery for a few minutes should solve this
Update 3: thanks to ricstc we now have a video tutorial on how to follow these instructions
Update 4: if you want you can keep your user data by unchecking the whipe user data in the flashtool while selecting the correct ftf file. this will cause a lot of error message's on 2.3.2 but just click them away and continue the procedure, after upgrading again to 2.3.3 the error message's will be gone!
Update 5: this methode still works with the new 4.0.A.2.368 firmware! if you don't get the OTA update with the provided .181 firmware try flashing the .184 firmware and try the OTA again
At the moment there are a lot of battery problems when you downgrade from 2.3.4 if you have any problem follow this or this thread for a possible solution
In general how long did it take for Gingerbreak / superoneclick to do its stuff.
iv been waiting about 5-10 minutes with nothing. :S

i have no choice! using GOOD for enterprise on my Arc, and it only allows usage if its on an unrooted device.
thinking of doing the root on 2.3.2 first, OTA update as you mentioned, then while still rooted, remove some of those unused SE Apps to free up ram, before unrooting and installing GOOD for enterprise.

Just flashed the firmware you provided on the OP then installed gingerbreak ran it, and it worked with-in 2 minutes. i did have the USB cable plugged-in, with USB debugging on.
Apart from that, it was a fresh install.

PROBLEM SOLVED GUYS
No need to flashing, just connect to computer, use lg mobile tools, then update through computer,,
Im really happy, I have lollipop now, thanks for the suggetion btw
Did you modify your phone in any way? It is or was rooted?
Anyway, you can either install Lollipop via KDZ (I am not sure if it update your system or make a "clean install" instead, install a fresh system and delete your data). Or you can install Kitkat stock ROM via KDZ and then apply OTA update, if you prefer (same remark as above applies).

Try using CCleaner to perform cleanup of junk files that often remain in the space meant for the update. Just a guessing here, no guarantees that it'll work, but you have nothing to lose. Needs no root. So give it a try.
problem solved guys, thank youu

What's your baseband?
you can download the new update at http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-desire-510-boost/news/ ..... there are manually Installation instructions. i have not did this yet but if you do it right , you should be good to go. food for thought, you may have to flash stock back up to make this update happen and then re-flash back to your posion of choice ..... and yes the update would stick

yes you have to have a pc . Download the program and just follow the guide. Should be very simple . But you do need stock to get this update. After you are done flash back or just restore back-up

I checked the link and it is the old update from 12.17.2014 or 1.47.652.1. I couldn't find the newest update or anything from 2015 at all on the HTC site anywhere. I received the update today, 1.48.652.2 (30.68MB), but after it downloaded, restarted and tried to install, it gave me a red triangle with an exclamation point in the middle. Has anyone else seen this? (My bootloader is locked and I fully wiped my phone and sdcard before installing the Boost stock RUU so nothing should be interfering) I contacted HTC and they walked me through some steps to fix it, but eventually they told me to contact Boost. I didn't contact them yet, but Boost Zone says the system updates on my phone are up to date.
Please Help(boost)

My phone fails when I try to install the update, also. Is your bootloader locked? If it is unlocked, the RUU update will fail.

I wouldn't bother. I contacted HTC and Boost Mobile and they both said there is nothing they can do about it. I think some of us have to wait until 1.48.652.2 is actually on HTCs site and good to go to download. For now all I see is 1.47.652.1. I wonder why some people can download it perfectly and others can't. I even tried to manually install it through the stock recovery. It downloads to the Download folder and I thought it had to be on the root of the sdcard. I moved it to the root of my internal sdcard and tried to install and it failed. I used the "OTA_A11_CHL_K44_DESIRE_SENSE60_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.48.652.2-1.47.652.1_R_release_420824qapx9dhr8n40gasg.zip" name and even renamed it to update.zip like other HTC phones use. I extracted the recovery.img and tried to flash, thinking it would help for some reason, with no success. I tried all I can do with my knowledge on this subject. Either one of the geniuses on this site can help or we'll have to wait.
Red Triangle 10% into 1.48.652.2 on Boost. On stock locked 1.47.652.1.. Is this the Lolipop update? cause if it isn't i don't care about it. :silly:
Tried installing on fresh RUU on Boost mobile. Update fails everytime. I looked into the update zip. For 30 mbs its got a lot of stuff in it. It updates most of the system apps as well as gapps. also theres some new certs getting installed. Maybe its a prep update.

No it's not Lollipop, just security enhancements and bug fixes. I contacted HTC and Boost and there is nothing they can do at the moment about our problems with updating. I think we just have to wait until Lollipop comes out and they release an official RUU.

Oh, OK.
Messed up CSC configuration causes this error. Try this;
Flash the latest Odin-Flash available FW via Odin. After you've flashed, do factory reset from stock recovery. Then, when the phone boots up, just reboot to bootloader and flash the latest Odin-Flash available FW via Odin again. When the phone boots up, do factory reset from Settings application. After the phone boots up, try to install update via ADB.

We have to wait until ATT makes it available to get the OTA or update via Smart Switch.
There's another thread in here on how to use Odin and load MM, but it's not the 'official' way.
