Hi folks,
I have unlocked and s-offd my Voda HTC Chacha.. installed a WWE Rom but havent recieved any OTA since then.. I am on 1.19 and there is a 1.54 OTA out..
just checked the CID through adb and its set to Super CID 11111111 instead of generic HTC__001. Tried changing it but I get Command Error. Any idea or solution for this?
Also, Is this the reason why no OTA are showing up?
If no, please advise how can I update the phone via OTA
Many thanks
What's your full version number? Afaik, 1.19 isn't a WWE ROM, it's Vodafone UK

Here are the full details mate:
Android 2.3.3
Software 1.19.206.2
Baseband 47.14.35.3030h_7.47.35.17
Kernel 2.6.35.10-g8db500e
cheers
Searching "1.19.206.2" on Google brings me back to a thread here in XDA's Chacha section saying it's an O2 ROM - so you see any O2 apps or bootanimations? I've heard that O2 don't actually "brand" their Android phones with apps, but still make all updates go through them.
EDIT: Yup, 1.19.206.1/2 is an O2-UK ROM - I found this out from this forum thread: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/7588766-post44.html
RUU_Chacha_O2_UK_1.19.206.1_Radio_47.14.35.3030H_7 .47.35.17_release_195486_signed.exe
RUU_Chacha_O2_UK_1.19.206.2_Radio_47.14.35.3030H_7 .47.35.17_release_197936_signed.exe
As you can see, your software number refers to 1 of 2 O2 UK RUUs
You should flash the 1.33.401.1 RUU from this thread, then see if you get an OTA update to 1.52.401.1 - if not, try downloading it from this thread and apply it via stock Recovery, which is reported to work if you're S-OFF and have a correct CID (HTC__001 for example) or SuperCID.

Fantastic mate, downloaded it as we speak..
not sure how it stayed on 1.19 as after I used XTC Clip, the logos and boot image were gone so I assumed I had a stock rom.. oh well.. everyday is a learning day..
I will let you know how I get on..
cheers for your help mate..
Update... Installed the 1.33 which then took the OTA update which is all good... However I still can't change the CID to HTC__001.. (currently set at 1111111)

why you like to change the CID?
SUPER-CID (1111111) might have set during S-off thru xtc clip.... SUPER-CID (1111111) signifies you device is universal device, which enables to flash all languages/APN/other settings in your phone

True, but it forces non-qwerty keyboard users to manually modify the layout in /system/usr/
as described here , because CID is taken into account on default layout.
Once you know the trick, it's OK, but really annoying to do every time you install a new ROM
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!
I am getting a new sensation tomorow my last one died completly on me. I am buying it off Amazon sim free.
If the phone comes with ICS and HBoot 1.27 and S-ON what is the easiest way to get S-OFF?
Can I check my CID and download a 1.27 unlocked firmware from Mikes thread put the zip on the SD card and then flash it, or is there anything else I need to do to unlock and install recovery?
I dont think it will come with ICS on it.
It is too early for sensations being shipped with ICS. If you receive the OTA upgrade to ICS, just dont do not apply it for the time being (IMHO).
Thats what I thought as well just trying to cover all my basis!

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
I just recived the new senesation this morning at about 10am! Which is actually bad for me as I am on nights and was sleeping
This seems to be a proper HTC sensation this time. The last one I got was a vodaphone which was sim free. This one has rom 1.45 on it and hboot 1.18. I have checked the CID and it is HTC_001. So far I have S-OFF and updated cid to super cid. Then I have upped the firmare to 3.32 and just about to put my own rom on it
Now I can start testing my rom
HI

If you have a backup and a link i would really appreciate :laugh:

According to the list I have you need x.xx.862.xxxxxx RUU if you want to go back to your original version.
If you change the CID to SuperCID "11111111" a good stand in is the WWE version x.xx.401.xxxxxxx
I have included the RUU carrier list I have, I assume it's incomplete but accurate, the only two I have used are 161 (Vodafone UK) and 401 (WWE).
You can get the WWE one from: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid but it doesn't contain your original one.

HI
The phone is already SuperCID but even that i cannot get any RUU to work, it will just freeze on the beatsAudio logo at boot up. I have tried several roms also , but with same issue
Unlocked
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT 1.29.0000
Radio 11.22.3504.07M
Open Adsp v02.6.0.226.00.0131
eMMC boot
I am sorry, because this have probably been asked many times, but I have a little more specific question. I have HTC Sensation rooted, and S-OFF. Now I want to send it to the service under warranty, because I noticed there is a dust under my screen.
I know what I have to do, but I dont know which default rom should I choose, so they definitely would not suspect anything. Does it have to be carrier specific or just some random EU rom? I am from Slovenia, my carrier is Simobil (Vodafone).
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
you need to flash one based on your cid which kinda gives you carrier,country info
use this guide as reference
Thank you, i just read this, however I still dont know how to find the right ruu for my phone. There is no Simobil Slovenia on the ruu list. Any other way to find out which rom to flash? The thing is I dont really remember whether I changed my CID at some point or not, so I might not be able to see/find the correct one.
Thanks again.
Ok here is what I found out now:
If i check for CID via fastboot i get this: 11111111 (i remember now, i set this)
But if i check it via application CIDgetter i get this: HTC_032
Q: Is this HTC_032 the true default CID or it could be just the info of currently installed rom, which is Viper 1.3.5 ?

Hi,
CIDGetter will show you your original CID.
When you check it via fastboot,you will get your ACTUAL CID.
If you are s-off,then , you should be able to run a European RUU and get back to stock.
Then, follow the guide ganesh gave you to s-on.

the cid you got via fastboot is the current one you are having
and HTC_032 is the rom cid ..so if you are having stock rom ..it represents your actual cid
Thank you both for your answers. Hmm, so one of you think that CIDgetter gives you original cid, and one thinks it gives you the CID of current rom. If ganeshp is right, then I still dont know my original CID, as currently I have Viper S 1.3.5 rom :// If malybru is right then I have to flash rom with HTC_032 CID and not just any European rom? Again it is important, because I dont want to get rejected on my warranty...
Thanks again.

both of us (me and Malybru ) are saying the same thing
cid from fastboot ..gives you the actual/current cid you have right now
cid from cid getter ..will give you the rom cid (in case of viper it is HTC__032)
also based on your country ..i think the fitting RUU is indeed is of European Unbranded one (as malybru said )
if the phone is not linked to carrier (like contract phone ) then European unbranded is the right RUU
It has been bought through carrier contract, but they stopped locking them, but it could still be locked in case it was from old stock... I'll have to try that, so in case it is locked to the carrier, I need different rom? Im sorry for so many questions but im really lost in finding the right rom.
