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

the official update is yet to be launched n will be launched in Q3 in india atleast but if you are getting impaitient you can use some custom roms though i do not reccomend them as they have some bugs n if you use the official update...no damage will be done to your warranty
I have seen one firmware (ROM) with Android 4.0.3. It is named "I9100XXKP8_I9100OXAKP8". I think it is a 'stock' ROM (official)
If you download any ROM, you can easily check the version by searching the factoryfs.img for a string "ro.build.version.release=" and just behind this you will find the version number.
Then, just use any flashing tool to write it to the phone (i have an experience with Omnius, but it is paid, but there are other tool, too)
Regarding warranty, it's best to find a flash-file with your current ROM, so you can revert this prior to a warranty claim.
is it possible to update baseband on this phone?
my phone was shipped with 0.15 and i think thats why i've been having the wifi issues. (rebooting nonstop anytime i connect to wifi)
Is there a newer version than 0.15 ?? I havent seen it..
And at the moment its not possible to flash radios with S-ON it can brick your phone. If you get it via an OTA update you will be ok

all the T-MO demo units we have in my store are on 0.16
i've been tempted to exchange it, btu since it's been rooted i'm holding back because i dont want to pay the out of warranty fee.

There has been at least 1 update but I think it went out before the phone launched. I picked up my phone on launch day with a 0.16 base band. Another user on this forum reported getting an OTA to the latest (current) build of 1.53.531.16 which I assume also updated the base band to 0.16
You could try a manual check in by dialing *#*#2342546#*#* in case your wondering 242546 spells "checkin"

Unfortunately i'm not on the stock ROM anymore so that isn't an option.
After doing a bit of research, it seems like the only way to get the baseband update would be for me to somehow revert to the prerelease TMO ROM, then wait for the OTA that was sent out to the prerelease devices which has the baseband update included.
Which is basically impossible, because no one is going to be running that prerelease ROM right now.
So i'm basically clueless at this point. probably just going to see if i can warranty swap it through HTC and hope they don't care about the bootloader being tampered.
Any input from anyone is definitely appreciated!

thanks man i saw that! but i need something similar for the t-mo US ROM.
i'd have to find a prerelease ROM, then wait for the OTA to the release version.

Once the base band is updated you could flash a stock rom or even restore your own personal back up. The international phones use the same chips as the TMOUS phones. How come you don't want to update it if your having problems?

I definitely want to update, but I doubt i'll receive the OTA to update the baseband since i'm on TMO US..
Looking through the thread looks like no US people have tried. I might give it a shot just for kicks. Hopefully it works.
edit - it looks like it definitely won't work if you're on TMO US, because the update has not been pushed out through TMO's servers. The update comes from the carriers, not HTC directly.
anyway problem solved.
ended up getting a replacement from HTC. should be fine.
edit - LOL the replacement came with 0.15 baseband and the kernel from march 29th. retail release versions came with a april 6th kernel and 0.16 baseband.
now i'm clueless. just wait a couple weeks and maybe process another exchange.
haha well my replacement phone came....
still had the same 0.15 baseband as the original pre-release version.
i assumed the replacement would be updated, apparently i was wrong. I might just hang onto this one for a month or so without rooting or unlocking the baseband just in hopes they push an OTA to update my baseband.
can someone teach me how to upgrade my baseband to .15

Hello Everyone,
I just received a notification that a new software update is available for my HTC Chacha here in India: 1.57.720.3
I am currently on 1.57.720.1 and have unlocked and rooted the device (no custom rom installed)
I have a question:
If I update to this version, will I have to root my phone again? If not, then what is the benefit to update to this version??
Should I update?? I don`t want to lose my root ability.
Don't update, you will have to re root. If I were you I would get cm7 or cm9 they run very well and are much better than the stock ROM

Tried what?
Those listed there on htcdev are NOT ROMs. Those are kernels. You download those and then get the android source code from google, then build android for yourself using those kernels. Which should be for ICS but it has been discussed in the dev section and they seem to be for GB.
Further more, I have compared the 4.0 India and the 2.3 India and only 3 GPIO files have been modified. So it's GB kernel with 4 more lines of code.
So Alex C.
1. this is not ICS?
2. Will i get it stable on my chacha!!

Please help us, we are in a bad trouble!
where can i fnd the ruu for this update.i want to flash the original rom.

are you receive it in a notification in your phone or you just check it in htcDev ???
it's no problem to installing an Official ROM on a rooted device.
Well, my phone has the following specs.
Baseband Version: MSM8626BP_1032.390.81.01P, TELUS_CUST (im guessing this means its a bit modified by telus aldo the phone is unlocked)
Build number KXB21.14-L1.50
My question is, if I change this rom to the US Stock retail rom, will I get OTA updates from the US builds?

Yes, if there is ever a problem you can also just come back here and download the ota update and just place it in the root of your sd card and then update like that.
Very well, in that case, i'll wait a few days to see if the update arrives, if it takes too long or I don't see any news about that, ill just change to official lollipop from US RETAIL, thank you for answer
So my assumption was that when I downloaded one of the GPE roms and switched to the T-Mobile version since I'm using T-Mobile on the Verizon variant I wouldn't get official updates.
Right now I got this and I'm wondering if it will brick my device if I install it. It probably thinks I'm using the T-Mobile variant when I'm using the Verizon variant with a lollipop rom on kit-kat firmware (I'm also not sure how to update to lollipop firmware).

Hell no.But first check rom thread if there is an ota update for this variant.If not,not don't download it
TO check or update firmware.
Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159.Check it how to do it.
Then go to bootloader & check your current firmware to makesure whether you have KK or Lp firmware

There are two ota updates from early/mid march but I haven't got to downloading them yet.
Check with your ROM creator, but generally no, 5.1 isn't stable yet. We may need to wait for RUU before it can be adopted.
RUU is the stock ROM right?

Yeah, basically the manufacturer's (HTC) packaged update including firmware and radios.
