[Q] Official rom number?

Hi all
I just got my Nexus S from UK this week and i can see there is a few around that got android 2.3.3. So my question i am still on 2.3.1 and can't get any updates on the updater on the phone so is there something wrong or is it just a slow process to get the updates out?

I had the same issue but I manually updated using info on here. Search for it and you'll find it no probs.

[Q] New android user

I recently rooted my Inspire. Today there was a WIFI update available and when I went to run the update the screen blacked out with an exlclamation mark. Is this because of the root that the phone will not take the update? Or is that the update process?
Thanks

Is the update from your service provider or from the people that created the ROM? If it's from your provider I would not even try to run the update just wait for an updated version of your rom to come out.

Thanks!
Kind of what I was thinking but being new to the device I thought I would ask.
Thanks again!

This is just to enable better speeds but all the ROMs already enable that.

Actually, its likely the side loading update, which most Roms also have. The speed update was weeks ago...

The OTA update is a combination of a patch pack and some new firmware for the radio and hboot. The first phase is applying the patch pack. For this to work, you need a pretty much stock ROM. If you're rooted, you likely have a few files that will be different and the patch will fail. It also checks the CID and aborts if you're not using stock (ie you used gfree to "open" your SIM, etc.). The firmware will only install after the patching process has completed successfully.
If you are rooted, then your best bet is to just use ATTN1's package that contains all the patched files and firmwares. You can find it here:

[Q] OTA being rolled out again, any different?

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2362
I downloaded the original GB update back in July, just saw this and haven't had a chance to try it. Anyone know if it is an update over the previous "fix". I sure hope it is, just did the daily battery pull about ten minutes ago. It would be nice to get that fixed.

Nope its 2.3.3

Right, I assumed that would probably be the case. I was talking about the other stuff kernals/basebands or anything at all that could possibly be different which would actually fix this phone.
A friend is downloading it now (he was still on froyo) we will compare and let you guys know if anything appears to have been updated over the first "update/fix".

Ok , it's exactly the same
2.6.32.9
gri40
v21e
7/15/2011 build date for the baseband.
back to reading my cancellation policy...

Can you download an ota using wifi or does it have to be on their 3g/4g network?

What if your not on tmobiles network anymore? I'm in between phones right now and just using my g2x as a mini tab until I decide what my next device will be. Do I need to be a current T-Mobile customer in order to receive the ota thru wifi?

Strange new ota regarding mail

Hello people,I just check manualy from my DS for new OTA hopping that I might see the ICS OTA available.
Instead of ICS I see an OTA (downloading as we speak) that is supposed to be about-and I quote- "mail".
Has anybody received this as well?
Any idea what this might be?

I am also receiving the update, unbranded Desire S on O2 network in Germany.

Its been installing for like 10 minutes now allthough it was a small update.Do you have that problem too?

please tell us if you see any changes or improvements.
Sent by my fingers to your head.

Yes, it is still installing, so I do not know what the update is good for. Mine also said it is for "mail".

I just installed it, it's finished now, but I don't see much difference when I look at the (htc) mail app. Maybe just some kind of small bugfix?

Its been over an hour and its still installing!!!!I even xhut down and restart the device and its still after all installing!!!Any ideas how to deal with this?

If you have custom recovery you have to restore from scratch. Sorry, OTA is just for Stock systems

I stopped it through applications management and clear all data for it and now the device says there us no upgrade available to install.Problem solved! ))))

Try downloading it again and save the update file from your sd card onto your comp.
Sent from an HTC device soon to be replaced by Samsung. Suck on that, HTC!!

Got it. Took less than a minute to download and install (unbranded, stock, UK). Doesn't seem to do anything visible.

Same here. Everything went pretty fast over wi-fi. Branded stock ROM.

I fail to see the logic and sense why HTC are still developing fixes etc for OLD GB ROMs. They should dedicate their time towards to bloody ICS update.
Ridiculous how slow they are. No word on the update yet, and already in May...

on the comments in androidpolice, someone said this update wiped their phone. anyone tried it yet?

Just installed the update. Only took a couple of minutes and didn't wipe any data for me, but we'll have to see about battery life. I had resorted to disabling all of the location based services it had gotten so bad.

Is it only for T-Mobile HTC One S? I don't get any update when I check for it.
Also my software number is at 3.16.666.9

Definitely seems to have fixed the battery drain issues. I was able to turn everything back on and the battery is draining at about the same levels it was on ICS.
I would assume this is a T-Mobile USA update. My post-update version number is 3.14.531.17 710RD.

Does anyone have a download link for the OTA? The "Manually Update from HTC" links all go to the 3.14.531.11 RUU.

How do we update the phone if it is rooted? Mine is rooted and it keeps booting to the recovery and nothing after that. Is it possible to unroot so I can install the update and root it again afterwards? I don't want to flash it to stock and then root it all over again.

I updated yesterday. Glad to see this update. I ended up taking my phone apart and replaced the battery thinking it had gone bad. Jury is still out on whether this update makes a difference.
