Really eager to upgrade my device to latest Android OS.
However, I tried to install 4.0.x ROM to my device, and encountered a lot of problems. So I have to rollback to 2.3.5.
I'm wandering whether the OTA is available now. Thanks.
I think that you will find HTC have already announced that the DHD is not going to get official ICS after all, but if you actually posted this in the DHD forum, or even better used the 'Search' function, then you might get a definite reply.
Yeah, I can confirm that the Desire HD was on the official update list but was recently removed so there will be no official OTA update for you
We'd be curious as to why the list was taken off the market when there is the Desire HD.

if there any reason that DHD was removed? Thanks.
Apparently the file structure for ICS is not compatible with the way the HD's internal memory is built.
Can't find the link right now, but if you search on the 'Desire S' General forum you'll see a thread about ICS on the DS which has the link.
Here it is, found it for you

No go. Time to move on to another phone. Gave mine to my son today.....

Should I root my phone first before upgrading to 2.2 or upgrade first then root?
If you're talking about the Over The Air (OTA) update that was announced, you should only upgrade with that if you don't want to root or customize anymore. For the moment, that OTA will take away root if you have it and you won't be able to get it back (for now).
If you're talking about upgrading to 2.2 using one of the ROMs posted here on XDA, then you need to root your phone in order to have the option to flash one of those onto your Aria.

Thanks that was very helpful! I'm going to root first them upgrade with one of the 2.2 ROMs here. I didn't know an OTA 2.2 update was out for the Aria already.
Well, it is and it isn't... it's available for non-branded Arias. AT&T hasn't released their version of the 2.2 update for the Aria, but when they do it will break your root access if you install it. At least temporarily. There's really no reason to use the official updates unless you need to return your Aria for some reason. Otherwise, you'll have more features using the custom ROMs here.
With the 2.2 upgrade for the Aria, were there any advancements on Adobe Flash?

No since this is an HTC Sense ROM, it still uses HTC Flash Lite just like the original ROM did. The Aria processor is not currently supported by Adobe Flash 10.x.
ok so I got a question. I have an ATT aria can I get the HTC 2.2 rom on my phone and then root my phone?
No, at the moment you can't. If you install the HTC OTA update you will lose root and be unable to get it back until one of the devs figures it out again. There are, however, plenty of Froyo ROMs to choose from, so you really don't need the HTC update to get 2.2.
Edit: Nevermind, looks like I spoke too soon. See this thread:

Thanks I have the Liberated rom on my phone right now. I'm just looking for a 2.2 Froyo that has the full bluetooth dialer support.

What's the best ROM out there right now? Which one would you recommend?

Currently, the two Froyo (Android 2.2) contenders for the Aria are CyanogenMod 6.1 and Liberated FR008.
Cyanogen offers a more unedited Android product with access to all sorts of settings and customization options. Liberated is more of a stock HTC Sense version of Android. Both ROMs are pretty much the creation of XDA member Attn1 who spends a ton of time developing for the Aria and here on the boards answerings questions.
The cool thing is that once you have rooted your Aria and installed Clockwork Mod Recovery, you can make a Nandroid back-up which will save your current setup along with all of your settings so that you can freely install these ROMs knowing that you can always safely return to your back-up if you don't like it. It's very... liberating!
Hey guys.
I was thinking of getting a Desire S, How would I go about getting Sense 3.0 on a T-Mobile U.K Desire S?
I don't want to flash custom ROM's, but wouldn't mind Rooting to debrand or anything
You might want to wait a few days in the hope of an offiicial announcement from HTC.
Although a few users have already received an OTA update already in the last few days, most of us (I think) haven't.
A lot of people have been asking HTC on facebook about the update and HTC are being utterly non-comittal about it with just a stock answer.
If the official update doesn't appear within a time frame that you like, there is always great support right here to load a custom ROM.
Hi. Thanks for your reply.
So it wouldn't be possible form De-branding and RUU or anything, or is there no actual RUU?
I wouldn't mind waiting for the update, would just like to know when it is
Hi guys i have a sensation XE that has been running ARHD for about three months. A couple of my apps wont download from the market as it says not compatible with our device however they worked before i rooted and changed roms.

What do you mean you can't find one? If you are supercid-ed then you can use any one of them.
i need an ruu that is for the xe but the only ones i can find are ics for normal sensation if anyone can link to a ruu for sensation xe that would be appreciated
Maybe the links in post 63 here are the ones you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22922600&postcount=63

Sorry to tell you this, but the problem you are having with your apps is because you are using ICS Android not because you are using a custom ROM. A lot of apps have not been updated to work with Android 4.0.3. I know this because I had to use my HD2 while I am waiting on my sensation to be repaired and I am using ICS on it. A couple of my regular apps would not work on my HD2 namely G+ go figure that one, you would think Google would have already updated it but it would not work on 4.0.4 but it will work on 4.0.3. Anyway I am pretty sure this is your problem.
Hey everyone,
Some one found out that on htcdev ICS kernel sources are available for download.
HTC support reply on that:
Dear User,
This upgrade is released for developers, if you will download it, unfortunately, downgrade will not be possible

HTC ChaCha will NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER get an official ICS update. As stated here: http://www.htc.com/www/help/android4faq/?cid=android4blog
"What devices will not get Android 4.0?
We work hard to ensure each of our products has the optimal user experience and therefore some products will remain at their current version of Android. In general, devices with 512MB ROM or less will not be upgraded to Android 4.0. These devices include the HTC ChaCha, HTC Salsa, HTC Wildfire S, HTC Explorer, HTC Desire HD and others."
Also, the kernels provided on the htcdev site are GB (2.3.5) kernels. Do a compare between the 2.3.5 India and 4.0 India and you will see only 3 gpio files modified; the rest is the same - it's really, really hard to believe that the same kernels can be used for ICS without any additions/fixes/workaround that could actually improve the user experience.
Therefore, I've stopped believing in anything that HTC reps say.
1. Alex C. didn't trust them with the Unlocker, yet, they released the Unroot it for the chacha!
2. The device is limited, but why the kernel for developers!? (cm9??)

Alex is right, the guy who was replying to me sounded confused about it anyway or he was just in a rush. One point he thought I was talking about a Desire HD update when I didin't mention the device. Also he thought people could just install the ICS update from the Kernel source. And even if it was they aren't pushing it Over The Air....
"This update will not be pushed out over the air (OTA). This update will only be available on the dev website, it will be up to the user to whether they want to install the update. The reasons for this is because of the low memory and poor functionality it can cause."

1. There was no reason for me to believe that they wouldn't unlock the bootloader. They stated they will, yet they didn't say when. What I knew they wouldn't do is S-OFF the devices.
2. The kernel is for developers because you need the android sources from google and compile/build ICS on your own. Nevertheless, the sources they say are 4.0 are actually 2.3.5 sources; beyond compare clearly says only 3 gpio files have been modified. I have contacted HTC Support, told them I did a compare between the two kernels and I asked a tech guy to provide me with information about this.
This is their first response:
"Dear Alex C.,
Thank you for contacting HTC.
With regards to your inquiry, kindly be informed that we don't have access to all the details that our engineers have operate over the kernel sources. but i will escalate this question to our engineers from Taiwan."
I think there must be a developer version of ICS for ChaCha but it lacks much stuff as it was with HTC Desire.
Regarding this(From wikipedia):
HTC has released a software update to upgrade the Desire to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Originally, they planned to do this in June 2011.[28][29] On 14 June 2011, HTC announced via Facebook that there would be no Gingerbread update for the HTC Desire, citing memory constraints. This is because HTC had been unable to fit both Gingerbread and HTC Sense together in the phone's 250 MB system partition.[30] However, on 15 June, they released a statement saying the Desire would receive the Gingerbread update, with the possibility of some apps being cut.[31] The update was finally released for download from HTC's developer website[32] on 1 August 2011, and is not available as an over-the-air update.

ChaCha is not popular as Desire was in time, thats why we will never receive that update.
But if some one could get that developer release i think it will bring more opportunity for developing CM9 for example.
ok then,
Straight, Alex C. do you have any contacts within the CM team? they said there will be support for the Chacha, at least a cm7 version.

The support for the CM7 will be provided by adlx.xda which ported it. The CM team itself will not touch the ChaCha build (mostly). If you check the CM site, you'll see each maintainer - in our case adlx.xda.
A few weaks ago I read a news about outrolling Android Lollipop. In this article there also was the information that it maybe as well would run on older devices caused of lower hardware-requirements of Android 5.0. Htc hasn't given much information yet. So what do you think, will our ONE SV get Lollipop (official or dev-version/ported)?
I don't think HTC will bring us the official version but isn't anybody able to port it? Would be a great project.

mmm i think we will never see other improvements in software... upgrading to kitkat was also possible but HTC didn't released and i believe it's a number matter: those who bought HTC one sv aren't too many...

and of the not too many.. none were developers that stayed with it.. personally.. im thinking new phone in 2015 and passing my one sv down to my 6 year old
probably this post will be deleted but i found a way to flash lollipop in our phone...

does anyone know anything about it?
EDIT i saw what kind of links they are. just asking if it could be possible
are you serious? the screenshot on that site are from skydragon rom on htc one m8 and they are edited + links & video are fake.
probably it's better to close this thread as we all know that there will NOT be any further update for this device.
it's a waste of time doing these searches on web.
