Hello,
I hope to not open a double Post, but I do not found anything similar
I like to upgrade my DHD (HTC Desire HD) with Android 2.2 (Build 1.38.207.1) to Gingerbread.
I have rooted my device with "visionary" and I also get S-Off with "Easy Radio tool v2.2", I checked my CID after this and the CID is HTC__102 for German, after this I made for disaster recovery a backup with "Titanium" and also with the "ROM Manger". Then I tried to get Gingerbread via OTA, but I get only the message no updates available! Can someone help me? I like to update via OTA to not lose my phone data.
Thanks in advance!
Ricardo
??? can anyone help me ???
Guys
Thought Id start a thread on the newest update I received this morning. Android version 2.3.5
So far I have noticed the following changes
- Time, carrier and date bigger and bolder on lockscreen
- New version of android market
- Bad Spelling underlined in text messages in red (but not auto changed)
- More transparent app and personalize buttons on homescreen
Changes I hope have been improved (but am testing)
- hoping the dialer draining battery issue is resolved (gonna take a day for me to monitor this
- stop cursor jumping to top of sms threads (intermittent for me so hard to be sure
There are probably some more system changes etc - but cant seem to find any official release document
OTA update? nice
I just checked for updates but it is still saying that there are no updates for my phone... maybe it'll take more time or maybe because I'm in Brazil I won't receive it (even my phone being from UK).
what is the Software number now?
mine is 1.20.771.2
No OTA Update for me
STOCK EU 1.33 in Germany - ChaCha was former a o2_uk branded phone

What's your CID? My Chacha with CID VODAP001 running the same software doesn't see any updates due to the Vodafone CID it still has.
As other people, I didn't get the OTA at the moment. I really hope that SMS bug will be fixed !

When i use CID Getter from the Market i get the CID (ro.cid) O2___102 (o2 DE)
edit: ChaCha is unrooted and has s-on ... but i made a goldcard and installed RUU 1.33 over the o2-branded-system (OOTB Software 1.19.206.1 / Android 2.3.3)
When i get s-off/root and SuperCID 11111111 can i update the Software OTA from 1.33.401.1 to 1.54.401.2 or to i have to use CWM ?

That'll be why you can't see any OTAs from 1.33 - I believe you'd need any of HTC's generic CIDs (HTC__001 for the UK, for example) or SuperCID - I downloaded the OTA .zip and had a look at the updater-script, it checks for the following CIDs:
00000000, 11111111, 22222222, 33333333, 44444444, 55555555, 66666666, 77777777, 88888888, 99999999, HTC__001, HTC__E11, HTC__102, HTC__203, HTC__405, HTC__Y13, HTC__032, HTC__016, HTC__N34.
So for OTA updates from HTC Generic softwares, you'd need one of them CIDs - most people would recommend HTC__001 or 11111111 - I'd personally recommend 11111111 as it'll let you flash anything.

Yes, you would be able to OTA to 1.54.401.2 after you S-OFF/SuperCID, but you'll need to use the stock HTC recovery for it to apply. I've read that CWM Recovery errors out when trying to apply an OTA .zip
I got the notification, mine is UK version,
can I download and install OTA even if my chacha is rooted already?
cheers

thank you for this informations.
i am at Stock 1.33 EU (RUU) at the moment, so i understood, that i can just update the 1.54 via update.zip in the bootloader/recovery after s-off/supercid?
just a quickie - when i installed the update I lost no data at all - after the install and reboot my homescreen returned as it was before the update
Well, it's an update. Not a new rom It's supposed to keep your data
Anyways, for everyone out there using carrier custom roms (these also have special CIDs like O2_xx, VODA_XX and so on) you need to understand that after a rom is released by HTC, the carrier must then take the rom, apply it's bloatware and then release it for update. So that's why basically non-branded phones usually get OTA's way faster than the branded ones. This is generally available for any phone. Hope this clarifies things a bit.
I can confirm dialer issue still remains (i suspected this as it is a gingerbread issue)
Updated yesterday and performed a data reset. Memory management appears much better. Phone had over 100mb free on data reset.
Hi all,
I got a carrier-free Chacha at MediaMarkt (Spain), it's on software version 1.22.412.2 and has CID HTC__304, however when I check on updated it keeps saying it's up to date and no updates available.
The phone is, unfortunately, s-on. Could this be affecting me? Or maybe it's because of the CID? In Europe everyone is getting 1.54 but me? Sounds weird...
Thank you for your help.
Most of us have already S-OFF'ed their devices and we are using leaked versions. You'll have to wait for the official update to your phone. Or you can simply S-OFF and install a custom ROM if you want.
Thanks for the info. I wrote to HTC Spain Customers' Support and they told me to put my ohone date on next year for a couple of days and the 2.3.5 update should appear (either this way or in secure mode).
I'm waiting until tomorrow ans I'll let you know... Thanks!
hmm, i think you or them had confused two different things:
Android version: which now is 2.3.5
with
Software number: which i personally have 1.52
I think you told them you have 1.22 and they understood that you have Android version 1.22, instead of 2.3.5
Correct me if i'm wrong!
Hello,
I have a Desire S T-Mobile UK Branded phone. S-On and not rooted (further phone info at the bottom of this post).
I am wondering if it is possible (using a goldcard?) to manually update it using an unbranded RUU from this thread.
Also, if I was to update it using this method, would I have to keep the goldcard in the phone? And would I receive any future OTA stock updates from HTC?
If this is possible are there any risks involved or negative results? If so any preferred ways of updating the phone?
After much research I have been unable to find an explicit answer as to the results of doing the above for this phone. Having never performed anything like this before, I want to be certain before jumping in and being a new member I am unable to post in the perhaps more relevant development section/ threads.
Thank you in advance,
Mike

How did you obtain your CID?
I also have a branded D-S and would like to know if getting OTA updates is possible.

If you install the unbranded RUU using a goldcard, then you will get OTA notifications for the unbranded ROM and not your original TMOBILE ROM.
Yeah you can do what you are saying. Not sure if you'd get ota's though, maybe the unbranded ota updates wouldn't be pushed.
You only need to keep the goldcard in while installing the RUU. To be safe rather don't keep it in afterwards, keep it safe.
You can install it either by flashing the ROM.zip (I think) or by running the RUU .exe
Thanks for the replies, yes I understand that the RUU will essentially wipe the phone and install the new, unbranded version.
So as long as I use the goldcard then there is essentially no risk in the procedure? And I will be left with an unbranded version of the HTC/ Android software, without the additional apps from my network provider?

I got it using CID Getter which is a simple app available on the market, I am unable to link to it, being a new user.

Thanks, I found it.
I have successfully installed the unbranded RUU, -
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822, from this thread.
Just incase any others in a similar position happen to find this thread -
I did it using a goldcard which was not very difficult to make, when following the various guides out there and then running the RUU executable file.
I have restored my applications offline, using Astro (which I installed from an apk), to prevent the market having to re-download them all at once and now with the market activated, they are all correctly recognised.
My phone is now totally unbranded and running software number 2.10.401.8.
This appears to have solved the delayed text messages, dropped calls and unreliable signal issues I was having with the T Mobile branded software. If only they would update the software themselves and remove this known bug, it would save a lot of people the time an effort of manually updating their phones in order to have them go back to being reliable!
The only thing that remains to be seen is if I will get OTA updates, as (AFAIK) the phone is currently running the very latest version available so there is no way to tell.
Thanks again to this community, which through its numerous guides and the answers on this thread, have made me once again - a very happy Desire S owner.
Hi
I guess I'm what you call a newbie, but please bear with me as i think this will interest you
I'm trying to root my HTC WIldfire (to get ride of all the bloated manufacturer installed apps) and have been trying to follow the instructions on htcdev.c o m
I have downloaded from htcdev.c o m / bootloader / ruu-downloads the following RUU
HTC WWE Tesco 2.25.1107.1 PC4910000
Prior to running the RUU, my phone indicated the following
Buzz PVT Ship S-On
SPL/hboot version: 1.01.0001.
Radio version: 3.35.15.31.
Main software version: 1.28.1107.2.
cid: htc__001.
cpld: none.
product: buzz.
mid: pc4910000.
security: on.
build-mode: ship.
when running the downloaded RUU, which was in fact PC4910000_Buzz_Froyo_hboot_1.02.0000_R3. (executable), it got as far as trying to update from 1.28.1107.2 to 2.46.0.0 as specified in the RUU (I was given no other options), I then got the following message:
'Your ROM version is not the latest version.
Please upgrade to 2.25.1107.3 to apply this RUU to be able to unlock your bootloader
On your phone go to Menu>......(edited).....>Check now.
After you have updated, please run the RUU again to upgrade your HBOOT to unlock your phone.'
I tried updating to the latest ROM on my phone but my phone indicated the software was already the latest version so no update was available
After searching both HTCDEV and the xba-developers forums, I can find no reference to ver 2.25.1107.3 anywhere!
What am I doing wrong and can someone explain a (full proof) method to root my phone. I would prefer to leave S-ON and was considering using cyanogenmod firmware after my phone had been routed....Help please anyone?
Thanks in advance
Dear all,
I am in the middle of the bridge and don't know where to go...could you please give some help deciding what to do?
I have a Branded Desire S (Vodafone) with v2.3.5 lastest OTA update, and I would like to flash and try the ICS stock WWE from HTCDEV.
The simlock has already been removed, but the thing is can i flash this ICS update? do i need any goldcard or anything of the kind? Will the phone work ok? Or do i have to wait (maybe forever...) for the vodafone update? I reallly would like to unbrand the phone (the vodafone logo and other vodefone apps are really annoying...).
I think if this WWE update will go ok, when i received and warning about any vodafone update (because the serial indicates that this phone is a vodafone one) i have to ignore it and only apply only any WWE updates from HTCDEV, rather than that, i thing phone will work ok... but still i am worried about some things like :
- bricking phone with ICS update;
- some things don't work ok with this update because is a branded phone (i chat with HTC support and they told me that some guy complained about WIFI does not work after the ICS update, ... could it be possible, even if the hardware is the same from branded and unbranded phones?;
- possibility to go back to a 2.3.5 rom if i dont like for whatever reason of the ICS of its behavior on this phone; the HTC guy told me that only on the HTC assistance was possible to make it ... dont we just have to run the correct version of the ROM (by the way i don't know which is mine, could you please tell me? Because i seached on the HTCDEV for the right software number (2.10.168.3) and the file to download is a ".gz" file not a .exe one;
Other thing, does this ICS include a PTG (Portugal) language.
I will be forever grateful for all the help / hints you can give me.:good:
Thx in advance.

From what I've heard, the ics update has bugs, that can only be solved with root access. Flashing the ruu should work fine though, but you won't be able to downgrade without unlocking the bootloader to get root access.
For these reasons I would recommend making your phone s-off (see guides in the "general section), and installing a fixed version of the ics update, or whatever custom rom you want. Then you can still go back to the original state, if you want to.
I read somewhere on my downgrade guide that they have successfully debranded their phone using my guide.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
Ditto to above two comments, read, read and then soff rather than htcdev
Sywepd form my DsereiS
Thx for tips, Will soff erase contacts or apps? For root with soff how to flash su??? Is there any repaired / bugless ics stock?
