Hey Guys.
Got a little bit of a problem. A while back I flashed Android Revolution HD and a custom recovery.
I recently restored to a stock Vodafone ROM using the 1.24 RUU. The update went fine and everything seems to be running normally except for one thing: I can't update from Android 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 as I'm not receiving any OTA updates whatsoever. Whenever I check for updates, it just says there are none available.
Internet connection is working; it's still Vodafone branded; etc. It just isn't receiving any updates when I check for them.
Any suggestions? Would using the 1.27 RUU make a difference? If it would...please provide a link, as all the ones I've tried are broken.
Regards.
Are you super Cid? Still? You need to set it to the correct CID to get the ota.
For some reason the Vodafone 1.24 for some reason isn't getting OTAs any more - go here and get the 1.27 RUU and you should then get OTAs to take it to 1.50.161.1

I have a HTC Desire S I bought via grey import into Australia. It's still running Android 2.3.3 and has never received a FOTA update.
Should have it received one? Is there any other way of getting an update? I'd like to avoid rooting it, I'd just like to install a signed update with the least hassle.
The details of the phone are:
CID: HTC__001
ro.carrier: HTC-WWE
ro.product.version: 1.31.950.2
ro.build.version.incremental: 27073
ro.product.brand: fet_tw
ro.htc.checkin.url: http://andchin.htc.com/android/checkin
ro.htc.checkin.url_CN: http://andchin.htccomm.com.cn/android/checkin
Are any other details needed? I guess it appears to be a China/Taiwan rom.
Why would you stay to a stock rom ?
You've probably got a phone with hboot 0.98.0000 or 0.98.0002, it would be easy to s-off & root it and there are plenty of good roms in the development sub-forum, better than stock.
If you really want to stay on an official release, create a goldcard and flash the latest RUU. Here's the RUU collection: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
Absolutely Agree to the above.
No issues Rooting & S-OFF using Revolutionary.
Also, some good stable custom ROMs available e.g.: Endymion, Reaper , CM7 to name a few.
Plus, with the Kernel Source for One V available, we will probably see some stable and Mostly functional ICS builds as well...
If it were my own phone I'd install custom ROMs, I have already on my HTC Desire.
However this phone is for someone else and I'd like to upgrade it "officially" with the proper upgrade. HTC themselves have/will released a gingerbread/ICS(?) upgrade for this phone, but it is up to the carrier to upgrade and deploy it I guess?
I'm just not sure why it hasn't received an upgrade, or whether it ever will. Or if there is some way of performing it manually.
Is a gold-card really necessary? If HTC has released official upgrades, and this is an unlocked phone, can't I just install the provided upgrade some how?
To receive the OTA update , u need to be on the Stock ROM , Unrooted & S-ON.
> To receive the OTA update , u need to be on the Stock ROM , Unrooted & S-ON.
This phone has all that. It is in the original condition that it was bought. But for some reason can't receive the update.
Update: the first users got this OTA update on their stock, non rooted, untouched HTC One S (S4). Everyone could choose to wait to get the update in the normal way. It will come now or later for all. If you can't wait, you can also choose to aply the full RUU from the RUU thread.
Here is the OTA update: OTA_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.21.401.10-1.78.401.2_release_271130unb1vtlbbuv42jp3.zip (download from HTC server or use this mirror). For now you can't install this update if you don't follow the steps down here.
Wifi issue fixes and new EA apps are part of the update. There is also a Rescue app included.
Required
- SuperCID (some kind of universal carrier ID/ region, named the 'developers region'). Everyone can install SuperCID, if you're on US T-Mobile and even if you're on a Chinese device. And everyone need it for now, even the European users. Ofcourse you can always restore your original cidnumber if you want.
- The stock 1.78 WWE ROM (d-h.st mirror or hotfile.com mirror). Also everyone need this ROM and everyone can install this rom if you have got SuperCID.
- Back-up of your files on computer. This update will format all partitions, even the sd card!
Let's get this on a list
- First you need an unlocked bootloader.
- Then you need root.
- After that you can get SuperCID on your phone (thanks hard5ter for reporting). Some users can start here cause they have already an unlocked bootloader and root.
* If you are not on stock 1.78.401.2, you have to install the RUU 1.78 WWE. Before you can do that you have to relock your bootlader. You will loose root, you will get stock Recovery and above all you got the right stock ROM for the OTA.
* If you are on stock 1.78.401.2 already, you can go to the next step after installing stock Recovery. If you want to keep root while updating to the new Android, use 'root survival mode' in SuperSU Pro or use this free OTA RootKeeper. But you need to install stock Recovery.
- Now your phone is ready, you do have SuperCID, relocked bootloader, stock Recovery and the stock WWE ROM. Time to boot your phone, check for updates and download and install that OTA update to get Android 4.0.4.
New Radio_1.06s.50.02.27_2_10.08.50.04L
- Fastboot method of flashing the new Radio gives a 'signature verify fail' error
- The PJ40IMG.zip method in bootloader will also not install any RADIO update.
- In TWRP Recovery you can also flash RADIO zip files. Dima901 replaced the Radio in one of the zip's there with the new Radio and was able to update his Radio trough TWRP, but for most of us that won't work for some reason. If you got stuck in TWRP keep pressing the power button, you have to swipe the slider to the right of your screen, still keep pressing the power button and your phone will shut down. It looks like that this method is only working for certain ROM users like CM, AOKP and MUI users.
- I updated my RADIO by just upgrading to Android 4.0.4. You can do that in a few minutes. Make a nandroid back-up first and you will be back on your current ROM in less then a hour but with the new RADIO.

Hello,
It looks like some guy received an OTA update to Android 4.0.4 with base version 2.21.401.10. He was on the Ville U WWE (RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2_Radio_0.16.31501 S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258480_signed)
Can't wait until someone share the file name of the OTA, so we can all download it from fotadl.htc.com.
The version number looks strange to me. 2.XX.XXX.XX is what we expect, cause HTC highers the number with every new Android version (we are now on 1.84.XX.XXX.XX), X.XX.401.XX stands for WWE, so that's also what we expect, but X.21.XXX.XX sounds a high number for a first update. But whatever, let's get this thing.
Here is a screenshot of the new version. Thanks for reporting cualla84.
We need a breaking news section of this forum. Nice find.
The requested URL /OTA_Ville_U was not found on this server.

Lol, it was just a link for example. I didn't get my hands on that OTA update, cause we don't know the filename yet. HTC stores al the OTA files on the fotadl.htc.com server, so probably our OTA is already public on that server, but we can't download it as long as we don't know the filename.
Mmm,, ok i now understand. Thanks. Im waiting for it xD
There are some downloads with kernel 3.0.16 on http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads for EU WWE 1.11.401.109 and 1.11.401.101, might be related?
Edit: these seem to be for VilleC2, filenames are villec2-ics-crc-3.0.16-f4c3948.zip and villec2-ics-crc-3.0.16-503c44f.zip so not related to the OTA, also explains the lower version numbers on these perhaps.

I think this should be posted in the Dev section in order to make the developers know about this and put their hands on it

Hi,
I'm new with HTC after many years of using Samsung phones so I need your help. As much as I could learn from reading different threads I have S3 variant, Cid HTC_102 (Germany) and 4.0.3 version of android. Thing that bathers me is that I didn't receive OTA 4.0.4 when everybody started to receive 4.1.1. I did not root yet, it is completely stock. I found a file for my Cid for 4.0.4: (PJ4020000_OTA_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.15.401.100-1.11.401.110_release_2865916) so I know that there is an update but I just didn't receive it.
I did a factory reset and it didn't help.
Main problem is that I can't flash any new custom ROM as I have hboot 2.09 (all new thing for me to learn).
I am thinking of manually installing 4.0.4 firmware but I still don't know how. I found out that RUU is simple exe file but I don't know how this PJ* file works.
I would appreciate your help and any tips.
Thanks.
EDIT:
Software number: 1.11.401.110 Baseband version: 16.12.20.02u_16.05.20.16_m2
Is this RUU file correct for my device to install?:
-RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.15.401.100_Radio_16.21.20.02U_16.09.20.11_M2_release_286571_signed.exe
EDIT 2: Never mind, I learned it the hard way, by trying. Everything is ok now.
Well, I couldn't live without wifi calling. So, I recently ran the RUU on my TMO HTC One S from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094414.
The software version is 3.14.531.11 710RD. I have another one of these and the latest SW build is 3.14.531.19 710RD, which includes the "heartbleed" fix. I want to leave it stock, but just get root back, but before I go through all the trouble, I'd like to update to the latest stock update.
I tried searching for updates through the device, and it just says "There are no updates available for your phone." I have all the options checked. I also checked HTC's site and they have my version instead of the latest OTA. Any chance HTC has just archived the updates and I'm SOL until someone posts the update? Any suggestions to get ahold of that update?
