short answer = no
Yeah if you want updates you'll need a completely stock phone. but I'm sure we'll have it in the development section before HTC bring it out to everyone

no you wouldn't, you would have to either find a stock rom you can flash or you would need to flash a ruu which i will post both links for you the ruu would have to be your network carrier otherwise you wouldn't get the update OTA

For real, all you've gotta do is keep your ears peeled. As soon as boys start claiming to have the update, do a quick Google search & download either the RUU or find a "flashable" zip. Whoever relies on push service for updates these days anymore? If you did, you'd still be on some earlier distro of Unity.
Wow, you're still on Unity? The last time that ROM was updated was September!

Unity's really cool. Easy on the battery too. I moved to Endymion (and keep shuffling ICS & MIUI ROMs) for features & the latest Sense. I one could learn contentment, Unity would be the word. But alas, who's content with the world today?

OTA stands for O.ver T.he A.ir and yes, it does have to do with software. Sometimes when you have a smartphone, like a Sensation there are updates to your phone which consists of installing software via the OTA.

theres a beta test program called HTC elevate which is a closed group of 300 or so people, they registered their phones and got the OTA update that way, so its not a leaked RUU, its a final beta rom update before the main public ota release but you can bet its gonna be pretty much like this for final release..

Just flash ARHD if you want to see the update. The only things I'm interested in for this Sense 3 update are the radio and RIL that should probably improve the Wifi/3G.
Does it make a difference really if the desire hd or the inspire ics has made to almost prefect with the roms that have been made.. at this point who cares and the phone being so what almost 2years old..

Yes that's true but the devs are missing some important pieces that would make the rom a lot more stable. For example, Existz has the camera working km his rom, but HD you look at the logcat it is showing a bunch of errors.

Besides the radio, anything useful you can get out of that?
Do correct me. The ruu would be if I want to have the rooted stock rom?
Sent from a dream.
The version of the radio is Radio_12.69a.60.29_26.17.14.11_M, and so far seems to be good. I'll need to test a few days to see if there's any improvements.
To extract the radio yourself:
Make sure your phone is NOT connected via USB!
Run the RUU exe, wait until it pauses at the first screen, then look in your temporary files folder.
One of the newer directories will have a file named rom.zip.
Copy that file somewhere else, then exit the RUU program.
You can extract radio.img and android-info.txt using 7zip or another zip utility. (WinZIP didn't work btw.)
ZIP the above two files into PD98IMG.zip and use the normal method to update the radio from bootloader.

Just to clarify, the rom.zip will be located in your windows temp directory. Just sort by date, and the most recent directory will be the one you are looking for.

I pulled the ril files aswell(to go with the radio) the rest is out of my current knowledge. The devs will find more useful stuff.
The ruu would be used if you wanted to go to stock non-rooted. Though I'm sure somebody will post a stock rooted pretty soon. Might give that a try myself just to see if I can do it.
Hi everybody,
I'm here as a Sensation user with S-ON and 3.32 firmware.
I'd like to see ROM and KERNEL developers to show in the OP the required firmware version for their creations. Flashing something designed for 3.33 firmware on a device with 3.32 can bring unstability... I never tried, but it should be like this, right?
Some developers already put the required FW in the OP, but others do not.
So, what about to add this rule for the threads in the development section?

Nope, ROMs which are under active development all use the 3.33 firmware. It's the older ROMs that use 3.32

Well, this is something really good to know. I didn't figure it out because the Bruce's CM10 works fine for me (and for lots of other users) also on 3.32 And that's why I don't really need to go S-OFF and upgrade my firmware now.
Coming back to the topic...
In any case, I think the information you provided to me should be more highlighted in the development section.

Please do not post questions in the dev section​
if official ROM is not stable, why HTC has released it ? BTW some mobile websites states that desire s is up gradable to ICS , if so why leaked ROM are required and why i m not able to upgrade it through my cell phone.
please guide.

Htc only released the ics rom because of pressure from devs like those on xda, it was never released to the general public. If it was it would have been done via ota not an ruu, it was intended to be a developers plaything.
"The box said 'Required Windows 95 or better'. So, I installed LINUX."
Ok thanx for the help. A little more guidance please, which ics Rom is best to install?

Hi Guys!
Just wanted to introduce myself and ask a bunch of n00bish questions.
I recently acquired an HTC One X on Rogers for dirt cheap (basically $0) and this is my first Android phone having used an iPhone for the past few years. I'm not completely lost around ROMs having cut my teeth on windows mobile phones right here on xda-devs years ago but my iPhone took me away for a number of years.
I've gone through as much of the existing FAQs and help threads as I could but I have a few questions I couldn't find the answers for: Hopefully these are simple enough for the folks here!
1) My HOX out of the box is running FW version 1.73, Android 4.0.3. I see there's some bootloader unlocking issues with AT&T HOX's with FW 1.85 and 2.2 and above. Do these restrictions not apply to the Rogers HOX? Is there a point i should be worried about not having an unlockable bootloader?
2) My ultimate goal is to get a maintainable ROM where I can easily get OS updates without having to manually reload any custom settings or apps. Being an Android n00b, I consistently hear about Cyanogenmod ROMs. Can I jump from my current Stock ROM straight to Cyanogenmod 10.1 JB? or do I have to do something in between?
3) Are there other community ROMs that's better for the HOX than CM? I'm looking for a plain jane out of box experience. I really love how the iPhone works really really great out of the box without any huge amount of setting changes. And that's what I strived for with my old windows mobile device ROMs.
4) Yay or Nay on HTC Sense?
5) Yay or Nay on Staying on the Stock Rogers ROMs (I think the JB update is available now).
6) If I elect to do all the OTA updates, is there something I should avoid like a permanent locked bootloader version or something like that?
7) If I install all the OTA updates and eventually end up on the Rogers JB rom (I assume it's a bunch of incremental updates since auto updates shows I have update 1.93 which isn't the JB rom), can I revert back to the 4.0.3 rom?
I think that's it for now... Sorry for the long list. it definitely grew as I typed it!
Thanks a tonne! I know how great a resource xda-devs was and is. Can't wait to get into all of this again. !
Rogers does not lock down bootloader. You should be fine.
As for sense or aosp it just depends on preference.

apologies for my probing questions as I'm trying to flesh out the dependencies of everything...
Does the rogers HOX need to be s-off'd when flashing custom ROMs.
How do OTA updates work? Do they only apply to a certain kind of stock ROMs? Do custom ROMs have OTA updates?
thanks,
Depending on hboot yes s-off is preferred because it makes flashing easier. You will not have to flash boot image seperately. Some custom roms have ota built in so that you are notified of a new version. Once you start the unlock process it is wise to never take an ota update for stock Rom. Aosp such as Avatar and Sense based Viperxl both can be ota updated. There are more. It will usaully state these capabilities on the page.

When you say I shouldn't take an OTA update after unlocking the bootloader, why is that?
Let's say I unlock the bootloader, but keep the stock rogers ROM and OTA update it. These are just OS updates right? they shouldn't touch the bootloader or do they?
Also, if the Rogers Bootloader is not locked down, then do I even need to unlock it? or do you guys mean it's unlockABLE and still needs to be unlocked?
Does rooting also make a device not OTA'able?
Finally, how are the bootloaders tied to the FW version and to the OS version? Coming from an iPhone, there was the baseband/Radio FW and OS versions, and sometimes a specific hardware version, but that's it. what's the heirarchy for the bootloader and the FW, and the OS?
finally, if there's a good resource that answers a lot of these "android rom 101" questions, please send along a link. I know you guys are busy!
Thanks!

Thanks venomtester, I was just on those pages when I went to check for your reply.. =)
For a general question to the Rogers HOX folks...
just wanted to confirm the following workflow:
1) unlock my rogers HOX with htcdev unlock process
2) get root by running superboot r2
2) run facepalm to s-off my HOX
4) pick a ROM and flash!
That sound about right? I'm not missing anything obvious? I'm not entirely sure if the tools like superboot r2 and facepalm have been superceded by other tools. Especially with all the AT&T specific processes...
This certainly is a few more steps than I'm used to from my Windows Mobile days... =)

Step 2 should be flash TWRP 2.3.x.x no need for superboot r2?... not sure what that is.
And you'll need to flash a rooted rom before S-OFF or let TWRP root your rom if your hboot is under 2.14
