Hi, I've just received the newest OTA update from HTC, the new version is 1.83.415.4. I was wondering does anyone know what new features or fixes this update provides compared to my older 1.32.405.6.
First thing I've noticed is the phone is lot quicker. Seriously, I cant believe how much quicker my phone is now.
Cheers..
i got this on my unbranded phone yesterday here in Australia.
the phone is noticeably aster, i'd say between 10% - 20% in some cases. no idea what changed, still looking for a changelog.
hi,
i got mine just this morning (Android ver. 2.2 ; Software # 1.83.415.4) . but dont know what changes made on my phone yet?
Edit: i saw some post and they think this update is for the Arabic support.
I've got a Unlocked/Unbranded DHD here in Australia and i haven't gotten it yet
I did download the update (Android ver. 2.2 ; Software # 1.83.415.4)
but can't install it (my DHD is rooted)
it crashed when restating the phone (in visionary+ I did the "unroot now" option)
Please Help
Arabic seconded
I also think this is mainly for Arabic support based on the search results I've done for this update. I have an unlocked DHD in New Zealand (parallel import I supposed) and the case had arabic script on it.
how can I install this update while the phone is rooted please?
I can confirm it's for "Arabic" support.
Although after installing it, I've noticed misplaced text in some "English" apps like "GPS test".
A Representative from HTC told me that the update also fixed a GPS bug which caused the phone to take a lot of time to get a proper location fix, but I didn't notice any improvements concerning the GPS ( I feel it got even worse ).
Actually I'm waiting for fixes concerning the following problems :
1. Ring Volume ( it's not so bad, but sometimes I miss some calls )
2. Fix GPS lock/fix time ( It might take up to 30 minutes to get a proper fix )
3. Fix the garbage HD video recording
4. HTCsense.com which doesn't work at all ( sometimes I can make the phone ring ), I can't believe how they keep advertising about this !!
And it would be actually great if they update the phone to Gingerbread
not installing at all
hi everyone ...
i download that update but it didnt install ... once i press Install now and OK, i go to black screen and it start unpacking ... but it stops unpacking and showsn android with white triangle and exclamation mark
it keeps like that till i remove the battery ... that is after 10 min of freez
i'm running the stock rom but rooted and s-off .... any help
For those who have rooted phones, you need to reflash with an official RUU ROM.
The update is good, but they changed the original Sense keyboard with one that is really bad.
installed this update 2 days ago
Hi All,
Got the update available message 2 days ago and downloaded the 37mg firmware/software in Brisbane QLD Australia. Unbranded HTC Desire HD with all western country locale - after the update I found the keyboard to only be Arabic and limited set of middle-east english - ie: had to select English(Kuwait) as the closest thing to English (Australia) or US.
Since 2 days ago I have read about 1000 websites and forums trying to get the standard keyboard back, have tried the apps that load more locales - they don't fix the keyboard - did get the HTC_IME_hi22.apk to work as a workaround (but I'd like to have a standard keyboard)
Even tried to factory reset the phone and when its starts I get the same limited Arabic countries to select from.
Does anyone know how I can get a full download of the previous firmware/software to load from my SD card?
And for future, does anyone know how I can tell HTC that this phone is a western english based phone?
PS - If your in Australia I recommend not loading this new release until you do some research.
Important Questions about 1.83.415.4
Dear all,
i'm trying to post here all the questions asked regarding the new OTA update and if you have a sure answer please reply:
1) is there any official changes in this update other than supporting arabic and replacing the Keyboard.
2) for those who did apply the update, what changes you did notice on your devices
3) for rooted s-offed devices running 1.32.405.6 that cannot install the update, how we do reflash using official RUU (link to the RUU please)
4) after reflashing official RUU and installing the new update, can we root and s-off the device again

New to this forum, so hello is in order first.
I have a HTC Desire from Vodafone. Had it about 3 months and very happy with it.
Because of the recent Vodafone 360 update news, and the likelyhood that Froyo from Voda will be heavily branded, I have today debranded my Desire to what I understand in the genreic version of Android, 1.21.405.2.
Now I understood that once I had done this I could update straight to 2.2, but my phone isn't having any of it
The process I followed to debrand was, in a nutshell, to get the Android SDK tools, get a Hex editor, create a goldcard, then download and install the following;
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.
Can anyone shed any light on why I can't update to 2.2?
Any help appreciated,
JorB
Have the same situation here, but with T-Mobile "branded" one.
Just two updated were applied and that's all, still on "2.1-update1"
Thanks for any idea/help.
I have the same problem, my phone keeps restarting, it wont let me OTA update it wtf!
Hey guys, hope all is well..
I've made a complete 'pickle' out of my HTC Trophy (Vodafone NZ - Unbranded)..
I was happily using Ansar's europe Mango rom found from these forums for a couple of weeks only to notice that a few key features were not working, Local Scout would not identify anything in my country and Bing song recognition was not visible =/..
I had been given word that the official NZ rom had finally been released through Zune so I (Foolishly) thought it was as simple as flashing with the Vodafone NZ NoDo rom (Also found here by Ansar) and attempting to update the firmware through Zune as usual.. Boy was I wrong..
After the flash had been done, I noticed through Zune that the actual image of the device shown was not my Trophy.. It said 'HTC Trophy'.. But the image wasn't.. I chose to ignore that and attempt to update the firmware, it happily updated right up to 7403, but the following update from this (I assumed Mango) bounced back with the error 80180048..
I've looked through every possible source of knowledge on the net which led nowhere (Even attempted the unwalshing tool but it advised me my device wasn't walshed).. So I'm pretty much stumped.
If anyone at all can help me, I will have your babies..
=P

EDIT - If it means anything, The moment it goes to install the new firmware to the device that USB message pops up on my computer (Win 7) saying that the performance would be a lot better if I plugged it into a USB 2.0 port (Obviously it is..)
Also, on all the previous updates I get a status bar on the phone of how far through the update it is, when it is updating this last firmware I don't get this status bar, it just sits on the same image of the phone and pc with a crossed out arrow in the middle for about 10 minutes then reboots with the above error message
Hello all,
like many users i've forced the mango update on my Omnia 7.I ended up with firmware version 2424.11.8.2.
However, i read that most of the users that got the update the "normal" way got firmware version 2424.11.8.5, so i rolled back to NoDo and updated again - still i get 2424.11.8.2.
So my question is - is my firmware ( 11.2 ) mango, or do i need to update my phone manually somehow?
Anyone knows what's the difference between 2424.11.8.5 and 2424.11.8.2 ?
My samsung now app doesnt auto-refresh also..could this be related to the firmware ver?
When you say "forced" the update, what do you mean?
Also, when you rolled back and then re-installed, did you need to do anything special to re-install?

2424.11.8.5 is the Mango update with Samsung drivers and 2424.11.8.2 without.
If you wanna enable Internet Sharing feature you need firmware 2424.11.8.5, this you can also do manually with Cab sender... just search here in the forum.
I flashed back to a branded T-Mobile rom for getting firmware 2424.11.9.4, with my unbranded Samsung rom I couldn´t update the firmware.

I mean i used the cable trick (google it) to get the update b4 it was available for my phone through zune.
After i rolled back i installed in the normal way - didnt use tricks, zune said there's an update, so i updated.I guess this is the official update for my phone.But i dont get it, why it comes without samsung drivers..
Unbranded phone
As I understand it if you have an unbranded Omnia 7 then you will only have 11.8.5 and that does not give you tethering. For me to get tethering I need the firmware update that only seems to come from the carriers themselves which leaves me in the lurch.
I do not want to faff about with unlocking them especially as I have 3 unbranded phones I guess I will just have to wait and see what Microsoft push out to us plebs. You can of course install the firmware if you phone is unlocked and you will find plenty of instructions on how to do this.
Hi Guys,
as you see in the topic, i want to know which is the newest Version of Android for the HTC ChaCha.

Is there any further Update like Android 3.x or 4.x?
Thanks
Greetz

Hey, guys

My brother is unsatisfied with his phone but does not what to miss the sense features.
thanks for any hint
Newst Android Version for the ChaCha is 2.3.5 (stock rom EU). build 1.52
Hi,
got my ChaCha yesterday and i checked all the important things out...
so here are my infos:
S-On
Android 2.3.3
HTC Sense 2.1
Software 1.19.206.1
HBOOT 1.04.000
MICROP-0557

OTA Update sais, there is nothing new ...
i'm not sure, if this is the latest Stock-ROM ... i don't think so ... is there any possibility to update to a newer *stock* rom?
# edit #
now i downloaded the updates from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255107
Stock ROMs 1.18 Europe and 1.33 Europe: http://www.swtesting.ro/alex/downloads/
The new OTA update 1.33 to 1.52 is also there.
but i'm not quite sure what to do ... (my first android phone!)
# edit 2 #
not i tries the RUU Updater "RUU_Chacha_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.1_Radio_47.17.35.3033H_7.48.35.14_2_release_204385_signed.exe" but it didn't work ... got an Error Code 131 i think .... something didn't match ... "wrong ruu updater" or something ... don't know what to do, to get a newer Firmware now?!
With s-on all you can do is to update your rom to 1.33
If you are windows user - it's quiet easy. You have to prepare gold card. You'll find info on xda and google how to do that. Than just run RUU, and software should be updated in a while. Then you can get TempRoot. What it does and more importantly what it does NOT is all written in TempRoot topic.
If you want to install higher updates/custom roms and use Apps2SD (I'm sure you would like to do that, as after some days of using stock chacha you'll run out of mem), you will have to get s-off.
By now the only possibility is to use XTC-clip. You can either buy one or find phone service that has it and will do it for you for some small charge. Here in Poland it was 10E for me. When you get s-off you can install CWM recovery, and then do anything you like. You can install CM7, other roms, gain permroot etc etc
Hope I helped
Thank you.
i used "GoldCard Tool 0.0.5" and i think it will work now ... it's updating at the moment ...
but how can i install the OTA Air Update from 1.33 to 1.52?
i downloaded the zip file from the "everything for chacha thread", renamed it to PH06IMG.zip and put it in the root-folder and launched the bootloader but nothing happend ...?!
#edit 2#
i tried to rename it to update.zip and use the "recovery" tool and press vol-up and home at the screen with the red "!"
i get to a blue screen with yellow text and i choose "apply update from sd.card" but then i get "invalid operation" and the phone reboots ...
and i get the message: E: can't open /cache/recovery/command ??
i tried all options in the recovery-menu and i don't know how to go on?!
# edit 3#
well i think i understood ... i have to get s-off to continue to 1.52 right?
In German, how much to S-Off chacha?
We have a german Android-Discussion Board where peoeple offer it for free or up to about 10 EUR (about 14-15 USD) but there are no xtc clip owners in my area so i have to send it via mail to the xtc owner and let them do the work and they send it back to me
Hello Xda! I hope you've all had a wonderful christmas eve and an even better new year! I've joined this site after headhunting and reading numerous posts touching different topics regarding one subject and one subject alone: Samsung Galaxy S2.
Now, on to the issue at hand. After tweaking and modifying my firmware, in hopes of getting Cyanogen 7 to run along with the ICS theme for it and having failed, my Sg2 has never been the same, of one simple reason: I haven't found the exact stock firmware that fits my phone. When I write "fits my phone" I actually don't refer to the fact that they aren't working as they indeed are, but no-one that's up to date.
The problem could've been easily fixed if Samsung Kies actually worked with my Windows 7 64-bit, which it doesn't, and please, don't point me in the direction of other posts such as "untick debugging mode", "reinstall Kies", "install those drivers by searching 'this' and 'that' on Google", because trust me, I've tried everything. It worked for a couple of days, but now as I really need it, and want to get out of the hellhole I call "KE2", it doesn't seem to want to help me, at all. "This device is not supported by Kies".
Now, I've visited another thread here on xda, more or less this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and dabbled myself through numerous versions until I finally settled for XWKE2 - Generic NEE and successfully managed it to run on my phone with Odin.
Since my phone is operator locked and I'm paying for it monthly via a Swedish operator known as Telenor I'm not able to update the firmware via About phone -> Software update either.
As I said, Kies isn't able to update my phone to 2.3.5/ KE7 (or whatever version is the newest) and I'm thusly stuck with XWKE2 & 2.33.
The most major problem I have is that I don't know which firmware to download from the topic I provided above, and I'd really like to know which one to actually download in order to have the most up-to-date version.
I'd immensely appreciate any help!
