[Q] Updating DS to the new shipped ROM

Hi... I am here in the Philippines and wanted to flash my DS using the RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.
0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe found on the stock shipped ROMs. I just want to ask the following:
1. Since it's a Europrean release, is it compatible for my DS in the Philippines?
2. Will I still be able to receive and install future official OTA updates after flashing this ROM?
3. What's new with this release compared to the prior 2.3.5 release?
I am thinking of flashing since HTC hasn't released the official OTA in Asia yet. I heard it might be end of December. Couldn't wait no more... TIA.

1. To flash a version for different region you will have to use a goldcard. Once installing it, there is no more warranty for you even when it is Stock, since you bought your phone in the Philippines with the local stock version on it. Using the European can also affect the performance, for example the baseband of your mobile carrier can be different, and the radio can have some differences accordingly.
2. You will receive and be able to install all future updates for Europe. But to repeat again - even using Stock, but for another region if you have problems with the device this is an indication that you have changed the software = no warranty.
3. There is some change in the libraries. Up to this moment the reported imporovement, as far as I know is a working Exchange synchronisation
In general if you insist on using Stock software on your phone is better to wait for an official update for your region.

Thanks for that information. I guess I'll have to keep on waiting. Thanks a lot

No software update for my HTC One S...

I have an HTC One S which runs the german T-Mobile stock rom... (No root)
This is the software version:
Android 4.0.3
Software 1.77.111.5
HTC SDK API level 4.11
When I check for updates it says that my phone is already updated...
I had checked T-Mobile website and I saw a post that says that only these versions will get an update: 1.84.531.2 710RD and 1.53.531.16 710RD
But my version is 1.77.111.5... what does it mean? I'm not going to get an update? And what can i do with that...?
Thanks

Hi Ohad (I'm assumed you are Israeli, but I'll talk English anyway )
I have the same problem as you do, and the reason you don't have software update, and your version doesn't exist on T-Mobile's website, is because what you have said: you have German T-Mobile version.
1. The website is for USA version, not all of the countries. The german version is on this website (I assumed you don't know Deutsch (German), so it'll be hard to find the info about the update).
2. The Germany version probably haven't get the update yet. I hope for you (and for me) the update will come soon.
Have a nice day,
Bar

Ok, thanks
Is there any forecast about when it should be released for us?

According to their forum, there is no date for the update. Of course a lot of people are angry over there, so I guess the pressure will do the job.

Are you guys sure it`s made for Germany?
I have the same problem, but mine it`s made for Austria(if I try to open "Installation Mediecenter" it redirects to Play Store to an app by Tmobile Austria).
Can you guys check that?
Thanks!

i heard the update is only available for t-mo US only, not sure for European t-mo

Add me to the list. Im career-unlocked officially, still not update for my in Pakistan. My friend's One X got 4.0.4 a month ago. :S

same here. 4.0.3 was the lastet android version i could get with stockrom in germany.

You could always flash the 1.84 (4.03 Us T-mobile) ruu and update to 2.35 (4.04 Us T-Mobile) Because the hboot matches. Just a thought

Nougat L09C636B361 OTA Rolling Out (Australia)

Hey guys,
If anyone's interested, my P9 just received the OTA for L09C636B361. This is on an unlocked/unbranded Australian handset. Obviously, I've immediately started the download...
Time to start mashing that "Check for Updates" button if you're in Australia I guess

Excited! Time to spam the update button

Nothing yet

Might want to check tru HiCare , and go through the early adopters button ...

Still nothing, sure I'll get something eventually..

i have the l09c34b140 and i live in australia (got it from virgin mobile australia on plan). is there anyway for me to convert to yours?

I am on EVA-L09C34B140 as well, heres hoping that we will get some Nougat goodness soon. I got Android 7 running no my old S4 and cant wait till the P9 officially gets an update.

I'm on the same EVA-L09C34B140 and also nothing yet. I bought my P9 outright, but it came with an annoying Optus boot and shutdown screen that I was hoping be rid of with an update, although I'm not too sure that'll be the case.

L09C34 is the Optus version, I got mine outright as well. I dont understand why Huawei will make an Australian model for Optus, a different model for Vodaphone and a unbranded model. They should of just made one model for all of Australia and a tool for carriers to put in their own boot animations.
Chances are, we will not get an update till Optus push through an update for this model. The model the OP has (L09C636), probably has his update pushed through by Huawei directly.

Ah, figures - a familiar story. I had the same issue with my old SG Note 2 which would have been waiting ages for an AU update via Telstra, but rooting it with a Nordic ROM saved me 18 months of waiting. I guess I have to suffer the Optus boot screen post-update though.

dyu reckon we should debrand and just install the unbranded model (if possible) or do we just idle :/

damn it just flashed to B320

If I could practice on someone else's Optus-tainted P9 first I'd then give it a go on mine
The process appears rather more convoluted than my previous Android ROM flashing experience. I think I might wait a bit longer.

i'm on exactly the same firmware( C636B190, which is updated from B168 through OTA) as the OP had before receiving B361..
However I had received nothing.

I bought mine outright at JB HiFi and got the OTA on Thursday night - posted to Whirlpool as well. I received notification when I checked the update entry in settings. Not an early adopter nor rooted or downloaded via the HiCare app.
As for the different firmwares blame that on the carrier not Huawei - Optus, Telstra et al are always slow - best check their websites or ask their Twitter/FB accounts for the timeframe.
Loving the updated EMUI 5.0. :laugh:

Unbranded Australian C636 here and still on B190, check for updates button nearly getting worn out!!

Got the Nougat update last night. Notification details are very hard to read. Almost white on white text. Anyone else got this, or knows how to fix it?
See screenshot attached.

@Tecalote is working on the Nougat version of the NewWorld rom. Chances are, he will probably release this before Optus roll out the EMUI 5.0 update. If you really want EMUI 5.0, you can always flash L09C636B361 via the Huawei tools, then it will be a debranded AU version.

Should be able to fix this by selecting a different theme.

OS update 8.0

Hi,
I bought this htc u11 last month when i was in India. It's an unlocked version. However, i see that htc has already rolled out the os update and November patch through ota. Now, I'm in Ireland. I'm checking for system updates but unable to get one and the news state that os has started to roll out for sprint htc u11. Does country change affect the updates? I was using vodafone in india and now I'm using lyca. Also, i initially bought google pixel 2 xl but there were loads of glitches. I did love the device but due to hardware issues, more time requirement to sort and since i did not have much time had to have it returned. However, it was returned and bought u11. I'm putting this up since i have read that google release out android updates. So would be some kind of avengers or something? I'm eagerly waiting for the update since i have seen it unlocks lots more functions on the device.
Awaiting your response. And apologies for such a ling convo.

Updates are for the phone not the carrier. You should be able to get the update via WiFi if its available.
If the phone has been rooted then you'll have to reset it back to stock before the update will show.

I just updated to Android 8 ( stock rom) and it became sluggish... It was way more fluid with Android 7... Don't update yet!!!
BTW any suggestions??
I don't think I can downgrade back to Android 7 being no root ???

[December, 19th 2018] System update 1.24.709.994 rolling out

[emoji1] in Europe we are still on december 2017 ...

HTC doesn't deserve our support anymore...
At least in Europe.

I got that update here in the states but I'm wondering when will give us 9.0 pie

This is the reason why I convert my European model to TW device...
Cheers

I'm still on December 2017(EU). My last phone from HTC, that's for sure. Next year i will buy an One Plus.

Short story before I get to my question.
I have a U11+ bought direct off HTC in Hong Kong.
I have had no updates since Dec 2017.
Wrote to HTC in Europe about the lack of updates and got this amazing reply:
------------------
Thank you for contacting HTC.
In regards to your enquiry about updates, kindly note that after running the serial number provided, your device ship country is Hong Kong.
Which means, it is not from EU region, and devices from the Asian region most of them cannot be updated and have no option to update.
------------------
Soo I checked through the XDA forums seems the TW version of the phone is the only one that gets regular updates.
Then I unlocked bootloader and downloaded HTC_U11+_TW_1.24.709.93_Images_OTA from nene bear.
I didn't install TWRP as I was going to return to stock and just be happy with the updates hopefully coming from the TW version.
all went smooth thanks to all the excellent posts and help on the forum.
378 fastboot flash -S 1G system system.img
379 fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
380 fastboot flash boot boot.img
oh and I relocked my bootloader
Yesterday I got a message about new update (I'm currently on Vodafone in Ireland)
I downloaded but it wouldn't install see the 2 screenshots.
ahh can't post the screenshots because i'm a new guy
its says:
cant update cause i may be running a modified version of system software....
I wonder is that because i turned of the boot lock once?
Or is this because of my CID is still HKG ??
I'm going to fire up fasboot and try and side load the update I downloaded from nene bear as I don't have root access and i couldn't find the update on the phone
I saw an interesting thread from handsome_hell about changing cid
Would the TW version or the WWE version the best for updates.

I have both TW and EU version of HTC-U11+ (both rooted with Magisk 18.0) and will apply OTA on TW only when RUU will be available (as I had - probably self-caused - problems during previous update of TW version).
I am not too advanced but AFAIK the phone needs to be "s-off" to change the CID to apply other region version updates smoothly, which is not available yet for HTC-U11+ (maybe I am wrong).
I hope for the EU version updates a "shortcut" directly to Android 9.0 (which was announced for HTC-U11+), otherwise the neglect of EU updates is really weired.

Today I got an answer from HTC support why European version U11+ did not get security updates ...
Sorry for for the answer but we can't say why 11+ is not getting security updates.
That's all [emoji1787]

Okay. I switched to a Pixel 3, great device and just the right size compared to the U11+ for me.
Bye HTC. Great devices wasted by a poor support...

Ah Thanks for the reply
I did have further conversations with HTC customer service regarding updates they said this:
------------------------------------
note that your phone is due to receive Android Pie very soon and this will be communicated via system notification message on your phone once the update is available for your phone, we are sorry for any inconvenience.
------------------------------------
It still doesn't explain the lack of regular security updates on the U11+ but my friends U11 has had 2 or 3 updates bought the same time as my U11+
I tried to get into recovery last night but got a red triangle Ill try it again later, got into the bootloader and download mode fine.
Think Ill end up going down the TWRP and Magisk route and change the CID just a bit more reading up to do.
Rgds

u11 + model is selling in taiwan because the small updates take that region. I think he's looking at the sales figures. But if it's just Taiwan for the update, it won't be able to sell anywhere except Taiwan. International brand, will be the domestic brand.

Received today in Belgium on TW version of the device!

Not at all, update 1.24.709.994 as the title said! When Pie will arrive, the version number will become 2.xx.709.xxx
U12+ hasn't received it yet I think and it will sure arrive on it before U11+!
