I've been checking for updates on my one x almost everyday for a month now, and an update just went out.
It's a system update (1.94.631.3) 67Mb.
Still not sure what its updating.
Try it and let us know!

I'm currently on version 1.73.631.1.
I can download the update and run the installer.
It gets halfway through the update then shows a phone with an error icon on it.
phone resets and im still on the old version.

Are you unlocked/rooted? Or pure stock?
I think I'm going to wait a bit before installing this update...
for the record I'm on 1.73 still... not sure what's in this update
That's odd.. from other X & XL 4.0.4 releases they have used a 2.x.x.x release code and I'm surprised they would release another 4.0.3 version with 4.0.4 out.
I called HTC.
They couldnt tell me how to fix the error or what the update includes.
I was told to factory reset and try it again, which I did. The update still failed and I have to resetup my phone now...
Custom Recovery Screen
I downloaded the update successfully on my rooted One X (with stock ROM). When I hit install, it restarts the phone and goes into the custom recovery screen... I don't really know what to do from there though... anyone got any ideas?

Need to relock bootloader, restore recovery and return OS to stock.
Basically relock bootloader and flash original RUU.

Only Singapore has gotten 2.x aka 4.0.4.
All other regions were recently updated to things like 1.88(previous Singtel), 1.89(Telstra), 1.91(Telus), 1.92(o2 Germany) and now 1.94(Rogers). There is probably a 1.90 and 1.93 somewhere. Eg maybe 1.93 is the soon to be released AT&T and maybe Vodafone Germany is at 1.90?
Only thing I can think that might mess it up, is that my phone was rooted, but i've done a factory reset already.
So the only other thing I can think of is that the update fails because my phone shows "tampered" from rooting.
You need to install a ruu(the correct rogers one). That will remove tampered warning.
I just downloaded the update. It's def worth doing it. My phone was rooted as well but had no issues with update. Multitasking issue for me seems to be fixed, well a million times better than it was anyways (Seems i spoke too soon on the multitasking, its a bit better, but after a couple apps its back to normal) no more reloading every time you go back to something. Also I used to find it slow going into text messages etc, and the contact list was slow to update especially when scrolling through, totally eliminated now. So much faster and less bogged down feeling.

I don't think that removes the tampered flag.

Installing a RUU does remove the tampered flag. so run the stock ruu, flash the update then unlock the bootloader again then push the custom recovery. flash a root for cmw then you will be rooted again. If you want a custom rom from it, then do a system dump after the upgrade.
OTA Link
Here's the link for the OTA download for anyone who wants to go through it: http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Evita_UL_Rogers_WWE_1.94.631.3-1.73.631.1_release_268994d5lde1latibkco05.zip
It contains hboot 8960_1.11.0000_20120607 and an updated radio, the version of which I'm not sure of.
Oh. Didn't actually try an ruu myself.

Where did you get that and how do I flash it?
I would also like to keep root if possible.
I assume people catch the link while the phone tries to download it.
You can't manually flash a fota. You need to apply all the patch files against the original firmware intended to be updated.
It's a long tedious process, only a smart dev will be able to pull it off.
It was done to get 4.0.4 but is it worth the effort for this? This is likely equal to all the other regions recent 4.0.3 updates.
Why are you guys so eager to flash this? I'm sure there are better custom roms. This will update your hboot so beware. If s-off is achieved you'll be **** out of luck.

Logged into an At&T wifi yesterday and the phone offered an HTC system "update".
Having owned several HTC products and never seeing any sort of update from them for a device I owned, Ill admit i was a bit shocked. lol
Downloaded for a few mins, although I didnt see a file size.
Reboots, resets twice then boots. Both my Inspires updated to
Software Version
1.84.502.11
took about 5 mins total
Sorry If this was somewhere else, I searched and didn't see anything.
What'd they do to my phones?
This is the update from ATT that added hsupa

Anyone get it to install with root? I just don't want it to screw up my root where i'd have to do it again.
The OTA update is mostly a collection of patches. These are very specific as to the files they are to patch. If you don't have the official AT&T ROM (or a very close approximation) then the update won't do anything.
there is the full ATT rom with the included patches and fixes and stuff in the development section. just dl the rom and flash it since you are already rooted
simple and stuff.
but also a lot of the newer roms are importing the fixes

How long does it take to install after downloading?
I'm going on about 10 minutes of the green arrows on the black screen with the phone image under it. Don't think it should take this long should it?
K, thanks. Simple answer. Is there a way to disable that notification then?
Nevermind. Hung on the install but pulling the battery worked
Install this stock rooted Rom. It has the ota update in it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
How is this possible?
I've S-OFFed and rooted with Revolutionary my Desire S. Than I 've flashed it with pree-rooted SAGA S stock ROM (stock, hmmm...) and I've flashed a new radio.
I went on to check the update and there it was! Official update available! I didn't go on, because I',m not sure what it means.
Does anyone know whether it is safe to go on with the update? I don't know which update it is, but anyway, what could happen?
s-off phones with prerooted stock roms can receive updates but as i can see many ppl had problems (stuck on HTC logo etc...) after update
Just plain weird. There are a lot of people (mainly devs) said that you/we shouldnt be able to receie OTA updates if hboot/recovery among other things are not official releases.
Based on what you've done the last tine is update the recovery to newest one? Is it the official release?
If so, this gave me the impression that ota updates are dependent on the phone's recovery version/image?

I've got the updated CVM Recovery via ROM Manager. It is the latest version. Otherwise I still have the old HBOOT ENG 0.98.2000.
I figure, if it's a "stock ROM" only being pree-rooted that could confuse the "official update", as nothing is acctualy changed, only root is made. But that's still weird, because I wasn't given the offer to the official 2.3.5/ 3.0 sense update.
Yet after the "manual" update, the updates continue.
Mind you, there is one strange thing though...
After each reboot phone wants to send the info to the HTC, saying "the phone has recovered/ rebooted strange way. Inform HTC?"
I decline every time...
And I wonder which update could it be? Kernell, sense 3.5? HBOOT 2.00...?
what prerooted rom u use?
update cant be 3.5 only 3.0.3.5 is leaked rom

Beginning of what?? Thats not latest version. There is update to 401.5

AHA! I know what you mean "Adidas108"...
Yeah, I know there is an update to 401.5. But I was given the option to the official update after 401.4 pree-rooted stock ROM...
And am wondering whether it is possible that now the officialy offered OTA could be 401.5? That's what I wrote before... I mean, this maks no sense. There shouldn't be a possibility of an update.
Since I've flashed the pree-rooted ROM, after each reboot phone wants to send the info to the HTC, saying "the phone has recovered/ rebooted strange way. Inform HTC?" Has anyone experienced this?
It sends that maybe because it wasnt fully successful to applyin the updates properly?
Again, still plain wierd. Hhmmm. Yhere mut be something at play here that we still didnt know how updates are pushed.
Im startibg to think that it may be dependent on the network/sim card you're ysing. Maybe by IP address that the phone is connected to?

I have s-off and rooted my Desire S with Revolutionary and I recieved the Sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.5 update yesterday evening. I installed it and now my phone just won't go past the HTC welcome screen. Just white bacground with HTC logo. I can go to bootloader and I already tried some things as mentioned in the threads about how to s-on Desire S from s-off but it still hangs on the HTC logo. I also tried the factory reset but no luck. I think I need to s-on somehow without booting the system and then the new update would maybe work which is already installed. Or maybe I can just reset all the software and make it s-on and start from zero. Any ideas? I just want my phone to work again
Many thanks!

But according to phone software info it did go thru the "cistom ROM" flash OK. I've got everything as it should be after aplying the flashes...
And since there are many replies in which PPL are stating they got stuck at the "white HTC logo" screen. I'm not to sure if I should try updating via officially offered update.
Can those who updated their phones with the official update, after flashing their phones with custom - pree-rooted or any other kind of ROMs, state their software status, before they continued with an official update offered afterwards. please?

some files/images/partitions might not been updated properly. E.i. Recovery, hboot, kernel, etc..
I'm pretty sure we need to be s-on to apply the new update. At least I'm screwed right now. I cannot do recovery, it shows me a warning sign with a cell phone on the background and just stalls there, I have to take the battery out to kill it.
Okay I messed around and now I got into ClockworkMod recovery and I recieved the eMMC fried chip error. I wiped cache and got rid of the errors. Obviously I still have s-off and still it hangs on the HTC logo when I try to boot. What can I do with it next?
Oh and I forgot to mention one part. After I realized that I can't update sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.5 (phone showed me an exclamation mark with android icon), I used RUU to revert my phone to 1.28. Then used phone to apply a system update 1.47. Then used system update to apply the newest sense 3.0 update and I didn't recieve the warning sign. It showed the progress bar of the install and then while booting stalled at the HTC logo. Since then I can't boot up the system.
And for additional info my HBOOT version is 6.98.1002 and RADIO is 3822.10.08.04_M
If u can use recovery why not flash some other rim?
~Swaypovano sa Desire S BRE!~
Ok, but what rom should i use and can I get s-on by just flashing ROM or what?
Okay first off, i know this is the wrong section. I can not post in development because I am new here, but I am in need of help desperately. Okay so I am rooted on 1.85 and the bootloader is NOT unlocked. Well i decided today to take the update to 4.0.4 before I did research. (Stupid me eh?) Well I start the OTA and then do some research. I learn that the update to 4.0.4 might be harmful to rooted users. So I disconnect from WiFi knowing it will pause the download. Well now I have a download that is just paused in the notification bar, and any time i connect to wifi it will continue the download. While the download is paused, can i unroot and take the update safely? I have seriously been searching for hours on end to find someone with a situation that I am in and i can not.
If you do a factory reset the update will go away. But that would also make you loose root. You should unlock the bootloader, then flash the rooted 2.20 update from the dev section.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
Yep, get that bootloader unlocked immediately and flash a rooted stock ROM or a custom ROM. Make sure you backup all your stuff with Titanium because the bootloader unlock will wipe your phone.
Also, just so you know, this thread most definitely did NOT belong in development, which is reserved for ROMs and kernels and root guides and the like ONLY. Threads like this belong in Q+A but nobody is gonna kill you for posting it in General.
After the download, you should get a prompt to either Install, Postpone, or you can press the "back" capacitive button to cancel. Cancel should stop the update notifications. At least this is how its worked on past HTC OTAs. I personally can't verify, as I haven't gotten the notification yet. But others seem to verify this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817429
But if you want to be safe, you should SuperCID and unlock bootloader first, as others have suggested. Pressing the wrong button for the method I suggested above will be catastrophic otherwise (lose the ability to root and unlock BL).
Thanks for your help guys!
I just did a factory data reset on my phone. Honestly, I've gotten myself into trouble with rooting. I really need to read up before i continue with things of this sort. So since i did a factory data reset, am i 100% unrooted? Will i be safe to take the OTA now? Thanks for your help guys!
If you were stock 1.85, and rooted using the one-click or "manual" method (which you must be, if you you are still BL locked), then you are now unrooted. You are either rooted or not, there is no "percentage" of rooted.
What kind of trouble have you gotten into rooting, and what do you typically use root for?
I've been debating on whether or not to just go ahead and install the OTA to 2.2. The only thing I've used for root was for WiFi-Tether and I don't even use that anymore so I think I don't even necessarily NEED root anymore. I'm just tired of the updater telling me there's a new update to install - frankly very annoying. I've been just using the back capacitive button to cancel it. BUT, the last time I did this when 1.73 went to 1.85, I was just stock rooted, no unlocked BL (just like I am now), when I tried to install the OTA, went to that error with the triangle and exclamation point and wouldn't let me install it. I had to reflash to stock RUU because it was giving me a bootloop. I just don't want that to happen again... What does that triangle and exclamation point even really mean? I can't find a definitive answer on it. Shouldn't the OTA just install as normal, but it'll remove root in the process?

Red triangle and exclamation point is the stock recovery. This appears if something about the ROM is missing or corrupted. Not sure why this happened to you in that particular case. But installing OTAs on rooted phones is always a crap shoot. Sometimes it works, and you just lose root. Sometimes you boot loop or other things.

That's what I was afraid of. Actually, I remember trying to install the 2.2 OTA a few days ago as well. Same red triangle and exclamation point. This time wasn't a boot loop and I just rebooted again and ever since, just kept canceling the update. Not sure what's going on...

Is the update actually downloaded to your phone? You may need to locate and delete it.
It may be trying to install the OTA from recovery, which makes sense. Don't actually know what happens when an OTA installs.
I've never installed an OTA! I'm always rooted, always will be!!!!
Just to be sure.
I did a factory data reset the night of the problem, been good ever since! I have not done anything to the phone except install a few apps. Should i be okay to take the OTA now? Sorry i just really want to be sure. This is my 3rd phone is 3 months so... no second chances.
SOLVED
Okay, so i took a chance on the update. It worked! I will not be rooting anymore until i read up. Sorry guys if you feel this thread was unnecessary. Just an FYI to any who are worried about taking the newest update after a factory data reset, don't be! Thank you to all:highfive:

It's a little late for this probably but for future reference if you are rooted and want to stop receiving OTA updates remove/rename/delete HtcOMADM_ATT.apk and HtcOMADM_ATT.odex from system/apps, wipe cache and dalvik. If you want to remove "AT&T software update" from the "Settings" then remove HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_ATT.apk and HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_ATT.odex from system/apps, wipe cache and dalvik.

Looks like you will not be rooting anymore for a while now, since there is no method to root the 2.2 update. AT&T / HTC made sure the current rooting method won't work on it. Hopefully, the devs will eventually crack this one too.
I hope you knew that before making the dive ... I would have just unlocked the bootloader and flashed a ROM with the update baked into it to get the best of both worlds. But that's just me. I can't own an android without root access. To reach his own.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying and you are right. The current rooting method does not work with the new hboot. But.... If you have your bootloader unlocked beforehand you can still still get root after taking the OTA... And you can still flash a custom rom afterwards, from what I understand you would just need to fastboot flash the boot.img. I haven't personally tried it because I like staying fairly stock, just seriously cleaned up with some mods (init.d support, wifi/usb tethering, missing apps replaced). One thing I am curious about and to be honest I haven't spent any time researching the answer, what kernel are the roms using that are based on the 2.23 (4.0.4) Asian RUU? I wonder because I know the combination of the AT&T 2.20 (4.0.4) update with the new kernel and radio is working very, very well on my phone! My quadrant went up 800 points and battery life is still ridiculously good! I also have to agree with "I can't own an android without root access" especially on AT&T. Personally I'm good to go until the Jelly Bean update! Decisions, decisions! :laugh:

I've never installed an OTA, so I wouldn't know either. Honestly, I don't know why one would do that, when the awesome devs here post ROMs with the latest OTAs and root prebaked into them. There are "modded" ROMs and "stock" (or close to stock) ROMs available to everyone's taste.

Right now, I'm running CleanROM 4.5, which is based on the 2.23 RUU. I did install the 2.20 radio, thinking it would work better, since I'm on AT&T. I took a screenshot of the kernel screen for you.

Where was your improvement? Did the increase happen in the aspect/area that directly affects your daily use, or in some esoteric algorithm that the phone all of a sudden processes faster? I used to go crazy on quadrant scores, but now I don't really understand their value/accuracy. As long as the phone feels buttery smooth while lasting 5+ hours of screen time, I'm happy!
Since you're interested in the scores, I installed quadrant and ran it, so you can compare.

Right now, I'm running CleanROM 4.5, which is based on the 2.23 RUU. I did install the 2.20 radio, thinking it would work better, since I'm on AT&T. I took a screenshot of the kernel screen for you.

Hi, do you think you could point me in the right direction for this? I found the general thread on radios, but am at a total loss about what it means or what to do with it!
You knew this was the wrong section but posted here anyway? Not a good way to start your membership on XDA. First rule of thumb is to search before creating a thread. Google is a great source for information. For future reference, all questions belong in the Q&A section, where coincidentally, this is being moved to.

Hello!
I have recieved the Android 4.0.4 OTA update but am unable to install it. I had unlocked my bootloader but havent installed any ROM, and tried to do the OTA update, the phone shut down and booted up to the fastboot menu.. i relocked my phone and tried again, same result.. I called HTC and they had no idea, they got me to turn off the fast boot in the power settings, but that didnt work!
What do I need to do to get the OTA update to work?
Based on your avatar, you are in Australia? Not sure what the firmware changes are for your region. But in the US, the latest 4.0.4 firmware also changes hboot, and plugs the holes by which kernels and radios can be flashed from recovery. In other words, not being able to install the OTA may be a good thing. It might be better to install one of the rooted stock ROMs in the Development forum.
Can't say for certain, since my US carrier (AT&T) does things so much differently than anyone else. So hopefully some folks in your region can chime in.

Hey thanks for the response.
Yeah I am in Australia, but I would like to get OTA Updates until Im comfortable with properly putting new ROMs onto my phone..
My service provider (Optus) took it's sweet time to release this update and their only solution is to take it into their shop to get it repaired/looked at..
If you are rooted, you may need to unroot.
You may also want to try finding the OTA file on the SD card and deleting it, and trying to download it again.

Yeah, Ive unrooted it.. I relocked the phone and ran the stock RUU for it.. but after a day I haven't received the OTA notification.. so I might have to wait a while for that to come back I guess..
I have an HTC One XL from Hong Kong and haven't been able to update to 4.1
I contacted HTC's customer services and this was the conversation:
Yemi: thanks, one moment please
Your device was manufactured in Hong Kong and only has one year warranty. As it is out of warranty, you are not able to receive any further updates
me: so no updates to future versions of sense or android at all?
Yemi: unfortunately not, If your device was made in UK or Europe, this would have been available for your device
me: ok, that explains why I can't update. thanks
Yemi: you can update manually through htcdev
me: oh, thanks, can you tell me where exactly I should be looking?
Yemi: unfortunately, that falls outside of my support
--
I had no idea updates stopped when the warranty did firstly, and secondly, can't see anywhere on the dev site to download or manually update the firmware.
I know i can flash a custom rom, but i would like to stick with sense and the stock android if possible.
I have looked around and downloaded a few different RUU files, most aren't for the one xl, but the one x, either way, they all fail.
Any ideas?

I don't think that is strictly true (I think people still get updates well after their warranty is up). It was more of the support person's (poorly phrased) way of saying, that since you are no longer within warranty, they aren't obligated to support you. Or he didn't have a good answer, and just wanted to get rid of you.
Him telling you to get the files from HTCDev is kind of a crap response as well, as you have to be pretty knowledgeable to know where that is. This thread has the links to the OTA files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37227608
But I don't know of any way to manually force the update to install (after you download it from the above link), without root. This is the only method I know of: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701460
Why exactly can't you get the OTA update by the normal means? Are you not in Hong Kong?
To update:
Place the OTA.zip file on your SD card.
Boot to bootloader (press and hold power. The capacitive buttons will blink a bunch of times and then the phone will shut off.
When the phone shuts off, let go of power and press and hold volume until the bootloader comes up.
Select recovery.
Then you'll get a picture on your phone of a phone or something
Press and hold volume up and, while holding volume press power then release.
It will say error cannot mount SD card, that's normal and then take you into recovery
There, you will select Install update from Phone storage or Install update from internal storage (Don't select install update from sd card, it will just try to locate external memory of which there is none.)
Select your OTA zip file.
Your phone will update and then notify you when it's time to reboot.
Good luck
thanks for the response.
I'm not in Hong Kong. Picked it up last year on a trip and thought i'd be able to upgrade when 4.1 came out.
When i search for updates, it says "there are no updates available for your phone".
I'll check the link and hopefully find something, and will then follow exad's instructions and fingers crossed, i'll be on 4.1 :good:

Looked it up and it seems everyone else got the same message with no known fix.

HTC Hong Kong (CID: HTC__622; MID: PJ8312000)
OTA: OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_HK_3.17.708.5_0.23a. 32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_306192l1uvogdfxreoh m82.zip (full)
I see. Well there are some people that report it working after several tries. You could try that or try the method redpoint posted.
I looked through htc and htc dev and did not find an official ota for your phone there.

OTAs are typically not available if you are not located in the intended region for the device (in a different country). Normally, the recommendation from HTC is to install the RUU, but unfortunately, a 3.17 RUU was never released for HK region, for whatever reason.

what's weird is that i picked up the one xl for me and the one s for my girlfriend, and the one S updated in the UK without a problem.
I'll root the phone and try the other method.

That's why I say "typically not available", as I've seen some exceptions.
You might also try to backup your personal data, do a factory reset, and try to update again, using the "normal" means (checking for update in Settings). This has been known to help update problems, which happen even when the device is in the intended region.

If you are going to go through the effort of unlocking the bootloader and rooting, you might as well just install custom recovery and flash a custom ROM, or stock rooted ROM; and not even mess with the OTA. It will make for a cleaner install, and may well be better in the long run anyway. But that is just my opinion.
What version is the phone currently on? You should update via all ota's one by one from a base.
Eg if 1.77.708.2 you can't update officially and need to rebase with ruu to atleast 1.77.708.3 I think it was a demo version not for public.
If 1.77.708.3 you need 1.89 then 2.42 then 3.17.
Or skip steps by flashing the newest ruu you can get you hands on, eg 2.42
Post version, cid and soff if possible.

That's true. You can't skip an OTA, if updating by OTA. OTA is usually just an incremental update, where an RUU is a complete package.

i see. well it doesn't give me any updates so i can't even climb the ladder.
CID is HTC_622
Version 1.77.708.2
S-On
if there's a rooted version of the stock rom, i may look for that. I did try CM10 once upon a time, but didn't like it

But you can try to download the "next" OTA file in the sequence (from the XDA thread I linked), and try to update manually. See if that works, and if so "climb the ladder"(I like that term!) that way.

I don't think there is a stock rooted version of the exact firmware you are looking for (HK 3.17), but there are several 3.17 stock rooted ROMs from other regions. The only difference would be some of the bloatware, and some other minor differences. Look under "Stock Rooted" in the CUSTOM ROMs section of my index: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Or better yet, flash a "stock-ish" custom ROM. There are custom ROMs like CleanROM, UrDroid, and others, that give a largely stock Sense feel, but strip out the bloatware, makes some performance enhancements, add add a few features, without diverging too far from the stock ROM experience. ViperXL is another reputable ROM, that ventures a bit further into customization territory (but still largely stock experience).

ViperXL looks pretty cool, so i'll give that a go.
Can I use the One X toolkit on my XL to root and flash?

The toolkit is intended for the AT&T version, which has more restrictions than any other carrier. You won't need to SuperCID (and don't think the toolkit will work for SuperCID on your version, anyway). But other toolkit features may be helpful (unlock bootloader, installing custom recovery, etc.).
Be aware, you don't need the toolkit per se. In short, all you need to do on your version of the phone, is to go to HTCDev.com, follow the instruction there to unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery, then flash the custom ROM.
I'd advise to start reading, before attempting any of this. As there are various nuances and pitfalls that can only be learned by reading.
Also be aware that unlocking the bootloader deletes your personal data from the phone. So back up anything that is valuable to you. Specifically, it formats the /data partition, but normally not the SD partition (but I would back that up too, just to be safe).
unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery...no recovery!
when i go into recovery, i get the "this build is for development purposes. Do not distribute..." message and then the phone reboots and loads the home screen.
tried twrp and cwm
If you installed using the toolkit, try installing recovery manually using fastboot.
didn't bother with the toolkit in the end and used fastboot and that was the result.
i'm almost convinced that i bought a brick to begin with!
