Will the new HTC patch/update force an upgrade to 2.3.4? - HTC Sensation

It looks like HTC has admitted they left some of their newer Android phones open to hacking, and so they are issuing an "emergency" OTA update. My question is, will this update force 2.3.4 on Sensation users or can I still keep 2.3.3. The main reason (as MANY likely know) is that the 2.3.4 update 'broke' a lot of functionality and caused more problems than it is worth. Has anyone received the update, and if so, can you confirm if it "upgrades" your version?

I got the 2.3.4 version and I can't say that there's any big difference. But I'm new to android.

Please only post if you have received the security patch from HTC. I am not interested in discussing people's opinion of 2.3.4. If you have received the security patch please provide all relevant details about what changed and what did not.

I do not believe the patch has even been released.

i believe, and its strictly opinion that yes it would force you to 2.3.4. reason bein is why patch the older rom when you think everyone is using the newer. just sayin

I've never heard of a manufacture patching previous versions of their software. They're always looking forward.

I am not so sure. I just read some more about the patch and it apparently is specific to the version of Sense that is running on the phones, NOT the version of Android the device has on it. However I guess we will need to wait and see!

that may be the case but really you gotta realize that htc updated our phones to run 2.3.4 even though this is a sense issue not android im sure the devs st htc will be workin on 2.3.4 rom to patch up the system cause its the most up to date and they think all of us are running that. my opinion of course

The patch is actually to fix the app HtcLogger.apk, which can be present in ANY version of Sense if HTC included it. As yet, there is no OTA update available. I don't remember seeing it in the 2.3.4 RUUs but I'll check and let you know. It definitely wasn't in 2.3.3
EDIT: OK, which RUU was 2.3.3? Been so long since I've used them I only have from 1.45.401.2 onwards!

I have a Sensation via 02 telco in the UK and recently got an OTA patch approx 41mb which moved the device to 2.3.4. I dont know if its an 02 patch or an HTC patch.
It all seems to work fine - biggest difference is that i can now take screenshots.
appols if this is irrelevent or unhelpfull to your query

I thought this was an issue that wasn't affecting our phones?
I went to look for htclogger.apk with rootexplorer and it wasn't even there.

I am pretty sure it affects all newer HTC models, and even older ones since they added it to Sense OTA updates. Where were you looking for the file and what version are you running on your device?

I doubt very much HTC would release a rooted ROM. Just going to make a rational and educated assumption here, and say No.
It's not rooted, it's the OTA update you'd get from HTC
The download from this site was quite slow
Mirrored it to another server, just in case, somebody else needs this file ^^

Seems like this Update was ment to update the Desire from Android 2.1 latest update to Froyo
It's a bugfix release for Russian locale (they fixed the keyboard and the hotspot menu). There are still bugs and typos present, so it is not final. The final update is rumored to come in min September

Updated Hero software (Software – 2.31.651.7) 9/22

Looks like they are releasing an update to our Hero's.....don't get to excited it just bug fixes but better than nothing.

I wonder if there is much of a performance boost for those running stock derived 2.1 ROMs?
At least we know Sprint isn't ignoring us. It'll take a lot for me to go back to stock, though. Do we know if this will kill your root access like the last update did?

"Description of enhancements/fixes
-This update improves overall performance of the device."
Since that is the only enhancement/Fix listed I sure hope it would be a noticeable boost.
will this make us loose our roots or roms or anything? I am using NFX-Hero would like the update but don't want to mess up anything that i have done.
Awfully vague description they've provided about today's update. But, not surprising coming from Sprint...
Has HTC posted any elaborations on their website?

anyone able to update yet?
The rom-makers will be able to integrate this into their roms, right? I'll just wait for the updated roms to come out.
When I click the link all it takes me to is the sprint information on the update... the link on the sprint page takes me to the 2.27.651.6 Ruu download... Sprint is so lame.... Why post an update if your website hasn't made it available??

If you update you will lose it all. The update (in your case) should come from infiniteFX, especially since he was one of the earlier proponents of building off of the .6 versus .5 build.

You have one of the coolest signatures i have seen. +1 for you lol
anyone get prompted for the update yet? i keep probing but comes up nothing...
If I could get a hold of this I would gladly try it, i can't get it over the air or online. I've installed darchstar's S-OFF hboot and it persisted through 2 runs of the 2.27.651.6 RUU, so not having root wouldn't worry me.
to hell with sprint, im pissed about this update. we didn't need it, what we needed was a sense froyo. what a waste of a good opportunity.
I find it interesting that they give different reasons for the update for each different phone. I ruued back to stock .5 kernel and did the .6 update and will adb pull the update off my hero if I get it. In case anyone gets it the update is stored in /cache. You'll probably already know this but you can download it and not apply it.
Anyone know if there is a new radio in this update?

[UPDATE 11.22]2.32.651.2-rootable!! + info-

2.32.651.2 is available. I got a new hero today and updated OTA to the new software. then I applied this root method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804296
ive been deleting much bloat. the update has a new baseband, new software, new PRI. kernel is the same. im sure theres more that i dont know about.
This update makes it feel fast and responsive. To me-a little smoother than the last .7 official.

sorry i can't tell you one or the other; however, i was curious why you're jumping on a hero instead of something like the lg optimus s which is cheaper and has gotten great reviews?
one obvious negative of picking another device is that the community isn't quite there for it yet, but... i know it is rooted at least.
also, if it's a matter of price, two of my brothers ordered their evo's from this site:
http://ordersprint.cellbenefits.com/ind/sprint/devices.html
the prices seem unreal, to be honest. but it might be worth looking at what they have available. much cheaper than direct from sprint and the lg ends up being $50 in your pocket after contract, rebates, and/or giftcards.
anyway, just a thought. i do love my hero, but this late in the game, i'd be looking to snag a slightly more modern device. or, maybe you could find one to buy from people in the forum. i know a lot of people have been upgrading recently (i'm up in a week or so, but plan to wait until after ces before i buy a new phone).
sorry for the off-topic question!

they replaced my hero with a new one

Ah.. I see.
Well, thanks for the update. Good to know that root is still available!

i flashed nfinite's .7 update 3.1 odex version after all that. device retained the baseband and pri versions. if i try the ota update to the new software, i get the triangle exclamation point. when i press menu, im at clockworks menu. id like to have the latest software but a new baseband is good too.
Any way to get the update other than OTA?
I'd like to have the new PRL and Baseband as I run CM.
Thanks.

prolly not until someone extracts it. i dont know much about it.
I knew about 2.31.651.7 OTA, but didn't realize there was another. I am still running .6 with an odexed basically stock ROM (see sig).
So, really better performance, or just a bit? Any difference on mflops, or other specifics?

.7 is the best stock update so far and this new update seems a little more responsive.

I have finished rooting the new update and I can say that the SuperOneClick method works as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Rom Manager went on fine too.
Edit: My bad, I lost root after booting. I will try your root method. Sorry
Getting the S-off again is now trickier due to the new radio baseband.
why not pull the update off your phone change the script a little sign and flash through recovery
so the new update is worth keeping? I was planning on rooting my device to get the wifi sharing option that 2.2 has but i wasn't thinking and let the new ota update go through the other day. the only difference i've seen is more lag and more battery usage. opinions?
The only way to get WiFi sharing on the hero is through rooting the hero does have a native usb tether but u have to pay for any data u use on it

Thanks XDA.
So lets see if I get this right;
I'm using cm6 exblue. If I want the new baseland and prl I have to go back to stock sense unroot apply the update and then root again with super1click and flash my cm6 backup. Is that how it goes?

no. you can flash the radio through either s-off bootloader or recovery, and there isn't a new prl. 60671 is still the latest.

This is correct.
They released it yesterday, but I had already installed the one that was "leaked". So today I compared the official release and the leaked one, and they are in fact the exact same thing. No need to wait to recieve it OTA, just go to the thread where the RUU is avaliable for download. It's all the same thing.

Try doing a factory reset to see if that helps with your gps.
After installing the leaked file I did a factory reset just for the heck if it to make sure things are all cleared out.
