Hey guys,
I have flashed the European stock ROM from here on my Sensation, since it has a branded (German Vodafone) ROM.
However, I don't get the notification for the update, which is currently spread out in Europe, for the new market etc.
Also when I search for updates, it shows me that I have the current version on my phone.
Why is that so?
Have you tried searching for an update by your own? And what version are you running.
Btw. I think the market update is only for USA.
Yes, I tried to search for the update on my own with the sensation.
I am running:
1.45.401.2 with Android 2.3.4

Try to do a reset of your phone. That should do it.
You first need to get 1.45.401.3, then you'll be offered 1.50.401.1

Can I flash that without loosing my data, just like the over the air updates?
Btw. I rooted my Sensation, might this be the reason why I don't get the over the air update?
No, even on rooted phones, it will give the notification and let you download. Only at the time of installation phone will give message that you have tempered with your phone
But I cant say why you are not getting the update. I think it could be because your phone is branded. May be the update is released for unbranded phones only, till now.

Nope, my phone was branded at first, but I flashed 2.3.4 (
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed) from this thread

to unbrand it.
Sorry for double post, but doesn't anyone have a solution for that?

Does really nobody has a clue about a solution to this problem?
Is there maybe a possibility to do the update on my own without loosing my data?
Hey F-Styla,
What is your current CID? Maybe the OTA is CID dependant and the phone is not seeing the update. When I first got my Sensation, I also debranded my phone by setting up CID 032 and flashing RUU 1.24xxx (I don't remember which one exactly) and then it got all the updates. My current version is 1.50.401.1.
PS Did you also try to manually check for the update from Settings? Sometimes the phone is too dump to see it by itself, even if you have mobile/wireless network.

Hi all.
As I said in my previous posts I'm waiting for a operator branded HTC Desire S.
I've read just now that the operator realeased an update few days ago (on 17th of february) and I'd like to know if there is a way to save the update file for future use (warranty purpose mainly).
Infact there is no file for the original brand firmware so if I debrand my phone I'll lose the warranty!
In this case if I can save the update file I can go back to my operator firmware solving the problem!
Thank you in advance!

I think what you'd want in this case is probably a RUU. What it does is basically return your phone completely to stock, removing anything you might have done to it. You can find a list of them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
I would recommend creating a goldcard to reduce the chance of any error and to help it go smoothly if you ever decide to do it.
Hi dan.
I've read that very useful thread but my operator firmware is not listed there.
So I'd loke to know if there is a way to get the image file from the OTA update (I think it's saved somewhere... but I don't know where!)
Can I ask what network branding your phone has? I'm not entirely sure how to download an OTA update for a stock rom so not entirely sure how to get the ROM from it. Maybe someone can shed some light here. I'm not entirely good with RUUs.
On a side note, if you're going to install custom ROMs I would recommend not updating just to make it easier to install custom ROMs.

As I said, right now there is no way to find the original branded firmware but now that there is this update maybe it can be catched!!!
Hi everybody,
I bought a used sensation 4g in the states from T-Mobile. Living in Canada, and wanting my phone in french, I rooted it, and installed the official rom for Canada (carrier Bell Canada). Now, when I download ICS using the software update, it won't let me install it, saying my phone is not using the software from factory, and therefore cannot perform the update.
Now, can I download the official "canadian ICS", and force to install it ?
If yes, will it erase everything, and will I lose my apps, settings, etc... ?
Thanks a lot !

u are rooted that's why you can't instal the update , you need to run Any RUU you like, you will lose root than the update will instal,and yes it will erase everything on the phone
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
So there is no way for me to run the update "unofficialy" without loosing everything ? Can I just "unroot" my phone, and then update the official way ? I don't need root anymore, it was just to install the canadian rom.
Thanks for your help.
For such a radical upgrade, it'd be recommended to wipe anyway.
I'm assuming you're super-cid?
I'm guessing OTA updates need stock recovery as well?
Yes, I'm super-Cid.
I guess I'll have to wait to find a canadian rom to keep the french language. They are much more rare than the T-Mobile ones !
Unless you guys know a custom one with french language. Or does ICS support any language via download ?

is your 8x an netzbetreiber-branding one? i got an no branding one from getmobile... if you sign a phone with netzbetriber, it may cause the delay of the release of the firmware upgrade.
No simlock no branding. called the Htc service yesterday and they tried me to believe that the Firmware is from Microsoft and that they can't so anything for me. I can't believe that they call this service.

Can someone please explain the relevance of your boot loader showing "security unlocked" please?
I have a Verizon which is unlocked for other providers yet dialling ##778# and entering 00000 I cannot edit my M.IP default profile. Will security unlocking the device fix this?

Sorry, I have never tried cause i got an unbranding one... Apart from Nokia Lumia 920, we can download all kind of firmwares such as branding or unbranding ones from NaviFrm. No one have released a branding firmware for 8x. so, if the unbranding firmware cause your device problems, you cannot flash you 8x back to branding firmwares. I suggest u wait for several months and get feedback from other user, if they flash their branding device with a unbranding firmware
DO NOT flash roms named RETAIL!
These are demonstrations rom dedicated for in store presentation.

No, Windows Phone 7 (and 8) are completely different o/s' than Windows Mobile 6.x. The software will not run. You'll have to look for a new version of the TomTom software in the WP8 Store (or WP7 Marketplace).

Yesterday I checked for OTA update and saw that Jelly Bean upgrade was available. I postponed download and installation, charged my phone and decided to do factory reset before updating (just in case).
After the reset there's no update available for my phone!
I tried to force OTA by deleting data and stopping Google Framework (as described for other devices), used dialpad to force checkin (as described in other threads) but it didn't work.
Now I'm just wondering if it's just a temporary thing or if I'm stuck with ICS?
Any ideas?
Phone is T-Mobile Austria branded S4 HTC One S, no root. Only earlier OTA updates were applied.

I can't give you a link since I'm a XDA noob. But I can provide descriptions to a link.
Search in google for android police ota 4.1 htc one s, you should find a title saying:
"Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Update For HTC One S Rolling Out Throughout Europe"
On this page you'll find a link to the OTA.
Download it and then simply connect phone to pc and run the ota file^as exe, after which a sort of installation should follow.
Follow it and most things will go automatically.
Since you haven't rooted your phone there are no real difficult procedures to go through ^^.
After completion your phone will have JB, yeaa!
That won't work AFAIK. My CID is T-MOB102 and I can't find a proper file for my phone.

Hi, i'm kinda new to Rooting HTC Devices, but not to rooting android devices in general. I was wondering if it was safe to take the OTA Update to get the Latest Firmware / Radios Etc, and then Install Viper One 2.5.0. I haven't touched the Firmware at all and i heard from Team Venom that you had to update your firmware and so far i haven't found any RUU's that work properly and whenever i try to flash Viper One 2.4.0, i get VERY long boot screens and sometimes it hangs on the HTC Logo, like the post suggested. Is there any way of safely doing this to a Verizon Phone without loosing S-OFF, Root or an Unlocked Bootloader? Considering they said:
Notice: at the time of writing, both T-Mobile US and Verizon’s 4.4.3 Updates were not available yet, but announced.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which i think its not true since people are already running 4.4.3 and Viper One Running on the latest Firmware, and they also said
While the Verizon and T-Mobile US guys need to wait (with “method #1″), the TmoUS folks could head over to my thread (linked above) and set their phones to S-OFF and flash an international firmware as a shortcut (it should be ok, not sure on the impact, maybe losing some WiFi calling functionality which can be restored by flashing TmoUS Firmware once it becomes available), going by “method #2″. However, Verizon: do NOT flash an international GSM firmware! You would regret it badly! Same goes for Sprint by the way. No INT firmware for you ever!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yet on the Verizon Post on Xda, they point you directly to it like i'm supposed to do that, and when i try "Method 2" which is also on their Website's Post that Links you to their Special Firmware Thread here , They Say:
I will cover GSM PHONES ONLY - no cdma / sprint firmware except when i wish to do otherwise.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which makes no sense considering they basically told me to go there from linking me in their Verizon Thread. I mean i'm totally confused how your supposed to flash the newest Firmware and it doesn't help that NO ONE has a tutorial online for this. I'm sorry if i'm coming off as a noob, but Normally Verizon OTA Updates have a tendency to Break Root and Lock the Bootloader and i don't know if this is any different.
My Device:
Verizon HTC One M8 (M8_WLV)
4.4.2, 1.55.605.2 Stock Sense
Rooted, S-OFF, Bootloader Unlocked
It's really easy to apply the radio and firmware. Just follow the instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2824882
Also you are correct that taking the ota directly will cause you to lose root. Once you have applied the firmware you should be good with the ROM
