[INFO] Sensation runs 2.3.3

Seeing this photo from an unboxing post. It shows the Sensation running Android 2.3.3. This means it does not have the WiFi security fix that is in v2.3.4.
To me, this is one more reason why I'm waiting till the Sensation is unlocked before buying one. Because I need to be able to quickly apply updates via custom ROM if the carriers are slow in releasing them.

Someone else mentioned in the DHD thread, that Google were fixing stuff server side also to encrypt things.
I'm sure we'll get an OTA soon enough if it needs to be fixed.

anyone not be updated OTA to 1.47.401.4?

I just wondering as still haven't!

I never got 1.47, I'm still on 1.28. I'm not sure why.
My DS is an unbranded unlocked UK model.
We are certainly not the only people not to get 1.47.
At first I was glad that I did not get 1.47, but now I notice that (so far) only people with 1.47 seem to be getting the recent upgrade.

Least am not the only one! HTC support seems to think I would need to send my phone away for repair to have it updated!

Seriously. All HTC seem to say is any update news will appear first on Twitter or Facebook, yet when anyone has questioned them on there they deny any knowledge of the update even with proof
The only thing they use social networking for is product spamming and corporate shindig promoting!!

Got a small update months ago which installed an updater, but never got 1.47. Still on 1.28. Unbranded, unrooted.
Interested to learn what HTC told you about returning it...

Yes I got those same updates months ago too! This is what they said after first saying 1.28 was the latest and then me saying I know about some with 1.47

Do have in your applications (settings> manage applications> all) an install called Updater version 2.3?
I think - not sure - that this is what was installed by the small update? Or is it for the Market? Terribly tempted to uninstall it and see what happens, eg if it updates again, but to 1.47. Or perhaps just try clear data.
Unfortunately to ignorant to know the risk if any...

Yes I and this what small update was it just updates the FOTA program which updates the phone firmware

Say again please?

yes it did install updater version 2.3. if you uninstall it you will be asked to install it again!

DON'T INSTALL 1.47!
Please! If you're looking to depress yourself, google "desire s late sms", look at the hundreds of pages of results, from users all over the world with the same problem.
You lucky ones who are still on 1.28 havent suffered the misery of the problem with 1.47 and the Desire S. Just imagine how much fun could be had, every time you're connected to a mobile data network (GPRS, 3G or HSDPA), knowing that there's a better than 50/50 chance all your 2G functions will stop working. Calls will go straight to voicemail, texts will fail to arrive for hours on end... And then randomly, you'll get a dozen messages at once, from people wondering why you've ignored them all afternoon...
Seriously, stick with 1.28 for now, wait for the next update.

We will need to have 1.47 before we can get 2.10!

can you use wireshark to analyze what the update sever's response is?
as when I've done that it replys {"time_msec":"1317992280856","stats_ok":true,"reason":"FOTACANCEL_NO_MATCH_RULE_FOR_CID","intent":[{"action":"android.server.checkin.FOTA_CANCEL"}]}
as mine is also an unbranded unlocked uk model

I'd prefer not to install wireshark right now, but I'm certain that I would get the same response.
There are plenty of other people in the same situation. I'm guessing that HTC may have aborted deployment of 1.47 because they noticed that it caused so many issues.
I assume that the "no match rule for CID" simply means that there are no updates available for our particular software version at the moment.
I've just factory reset my DS in the hope of fixing another issue, and after doing so it politely updated the version of it's FOTA loader but nothing else new.
Starting deployment of the sense 3.0 version to a few users without any explanation seems a bit dumb of HTC unless they are simply beta testing.
I could understand them prioritising those who have already loaded 1.47 as clearly this is causing them the most issues. We just need to hope that they don't forget those if us who are still on 1.28

had your phone been rooted before you get it?

Nope, I don't think so. My phone was new, carrier unlocked "sim-free" version from an authorised HTC retailer in the UK. I was previously using an Orange SIM in it, although recently switched to Three. (Have tried to get update when connected to both)

[Q] HTC Update drive

Why after the Mango update I don't receive the Htc update drive ? I update my phone with the U2M7720
Can Some bodyes help me ?

Assuming you used U2M7720 to update to Mango ISV.
Go and see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287505
Skip all parts until you reach the "HTC ADDITIONAL UPDATE" part.
There you will find a guide to get the official HTC update, but do keep in mind that at the moment, you will not be able to use applications such as Advanced Config, FileXplorer.
-Xeno

doesn't start
I just read and try the guide, but my Zune doesn't find the HTC Update and I don't want come back to NODO
is there a litle solution for me ?????

I read it somewhere that htc update depends on regions too, which means that not necessarily everybody with htc device will get the same update. I have not gotten any htc update for my mozart, and I live in indonesia. I haven't asked around whether other people have got htc update on theirs, because I think I am the only one using windows phone in indonesia ahahahahahahah.....
As far as I know, people with htc in european and US regions get updates... I am not sure about the people in asian regions. Maybe others can confirm this. What sort of rom and region do you live in?
as you can see from here:
http://wmpoweruser.com/firmware-update-for-htc-mozart-pops-up-did-you-receive-any-notifications/
not everybody got updates either.. just dont worry about it too much
cheers

joseph.sapri has a valid point.
In my case I live outside the USA, but have a T-Mobile HTC HD7, hence why I received the updates early on.
Let us know the ROM and region.

I'm in Italy, but some people that live in Italy have just receive the update, why i don't receive ?

Well, you can try to wait for a while I guess. Since the update is deployed randomly to people, means your neighbor might get the update but you won't.
Have you tried the force update technique?
Otherwise I'm all out of ideas.

I update my phone with the U2M7720 method......but my main problem is that the program usb switch doesn't run on my phone and I think that it's depend on the htc update

Can you link me the thread for program usb switch?
I will see if it works on my HD7.

[Q] New 'Orange' Branded Phone - XTC Clip or Not?

Hi,
Convinced my wife to also get a Desire S and we are picking one up from Orange UK later today.
She will need root so that we can install an app to get the phone to connect to our car phone kit. I'm assuming that the phone will come with Android 2.3.3 and the associated HBOOT.
I'm guessing the options are to diable the OTA updates, S-Off with Alpharevx and use gingerbreak for root. I'm assuming the advantage is that this can all be reversed if there is a layer problem with the phone. The downside will be that we won't be able to update the phone until Alpharevx, etc, catches up with new phone software releases.
The alternative is to S-off via XTC-Clip (there is one nearby) which will ne permanent and allow pre-rooted updated RUU's to be more regularly installed.
Does anyone have any views on the best way forward.
As an aside, I'm guessing that installing an unbranded ROM does not affect any functionality of the phone on the Orange UK mobile network.
Many thanks,
Damian

Hello,
Assuming that you get a hboot version that can be s-off'd then I'd use revolutionary and follow the method that you described.
You're right about disabling ota updates do that immediately as if applied then they can seriously limit your options.
There is something called uma (I think that's right name?) which I believe enables you to use your wifi to make calls when mobile signal is weak, I believe that this can be used on orange but I don't know if your devices would come with it. If you're from UK you can now piggy back Tmobile so you have more chance of a decent signal.
If you get a later version of hboot, that can't be s-off'd then you still have several options open to you:
you could attempt to use the official htc unlock htcdev.com unlock routine, even though this devices still isn't listed as supported I've read that some users have successfully used this method to unlock their devices successfully. Although I can't provide any links so you'll have to either read around or post a further question in an attempt to get some info on how to do this method.
You could alternatively drop the revolutionary boys a line and ask them is they plan to update their software to later versions off this devices hboot To see If any etas are forthcoming , although developers tend not to like eta requests
Another option before considering xtc would simply be to wait HTC to add support for this device, it's supposed to be coming, but so is xmas, although you won't be unhappy with the device running stock, although I run a rooted custom and love it, my wife is still running stock as it's her first Android device and she's still loving it!
Although then there's always the xtc route and as an original xtc user I can recommend this route although as you're aware it's not reversible and you must consider the effect it well have on your warranty
Good luck with your choice, psst back any questions
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium

Thanks for the reply.
Picked the phone up on Saturday and it is Hboot 0.98.0002 and Radio 3805.06.02.03_M.
My wife seems happy with things, apart from the mobile data/signal does not seem as robust as with her old Nokia. I've told her that a radio update may improve this as it did with mine when I recently updated it.
Think will go down the Revolutionary route. I need to check but assume that you can just flash a new radio with the Revolutionary Hboot. I think for now she will be happy with 2.3.3 and we will see how things pan out with updates in the next few months.
Thanks again,
Damian

Questions around HTC CIDs

Dear all,
Some questions around HTC CIDs driving me mad, because I couldn't find any clear statement so far. Or when I found some, they don’t match my own experience with my HTC phones…
I started to get interested in the HTC CIDs because I bought on ebay from Hong Kong an HTC One M8 and I couldn't update it. The standard HTC software / system update (in the setting -> about section) cries the following error: "we have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software..." As far as I could understand thanks to my researches, my phone is branded, therefore, until the concerned carrier releases updates for my phone, I won't be able to get them.
But it is strange anyway, because I didn't ANY system update so far... whereas the HTC One M8 is now few years old… Moreover, a question comes to my mind: how to get patches directly from HTC? According to my researches, even the HTC super CID doesn’t help, but on the contrary blocks OTAs… so far this question remains unanswered for me. I didn’t find clear statement about that.
But here comes the weirdest stuff. I have also an HTC One M7 bought from the same ebay seller in Hong Kong. Out of the box, the phone had already the HTC super CID. The box was normally sealed, so it seemed to come directly from the factory. Also myself, I never tried to change it or even to unlock the bootloader or flash a new ROM, etc. Nothing, nada, niente, zilch, rien.
But I got system updates! The phone was originally shipped with Jelly Bean, I updated it to Lollipop through the HTC system updates, and got also other systems update patches, no issue at any point.
So here’s my question: What the hell??? How to get HTC update patches directly from HTC without waiting for carriers and does the HTC super CID really blocks them? I really don’t understand how to simply get a not branded phone receiving system update patches with no delay. And mainly, I don’t know if I should return the M8 to the ebay shop in Hong Kong, or if I should try to play with the CID and flash it with the HTC stock ROM to get it like an original HTC. If someone knows…
Cheers

Think I got some answers from another source.
Shall I detail ? Anybody cares ?
