Can you please tell me.. What's the latest update for HTC Desire S? I mean like the Official one.. Is it ICS 4.0+ ?
Since I have totally messed my phone up by rooting, unrooting, downgrading, upgrading, installing custom ROMs over one another - I didn't do it properly. I have no idea how to check the what's the latest update.
Oh another question, according to what I've told you above, does this mean my phone is like dead now?
It kept freezing and starting itself many times - is this because of the ROM or is it because of the phone? The phone is very very slow and it lags a lot lol.
Thank you in advance!
The latest update was gingerbread. But I suggest you trying to flash different rom rather than reverting back.

hey all,i own a HTC Desire and im from australia with telstra,ive seen that the update to android 2.3 is available on the developers site and was wondering if it is worth updating it,ive been told that my SMS and MMS could not work afterwards,what is the go with that? will i be affected? if so how would i fix this? if this dosent work can i go back to 2.2,and is this the final official update or is there going to be a proper one that dosent have any bugs or worries,also anyone from aus that has updated with this please tell me what its like.
Don't do it, the bootloader in the official release is locked. That means no root, no going back, no fixing anything that the update breaks. I think the update breaks more than SMS.
Try one of the many 2.3 custom roms in desire development, if you don't like it you can always change rom or go back to stock.
i havent rooted my desire anyway,i tried multiple times but it wouldnt work for some reason,ive tried 2 different ways to do it with no luck,well have u actually seen it it or tried it? coz ive heard some saying that it works fine,if i am going to 2.3 then i dont really need to root anyway
good day every one new here on HTC sensation, just got mine yesterday, question is how to update my sensation to 2.3.4 is it through the settings>about phone>software update? or HTC has a pc software app for our updates? sorry for being a newbie on Sensation was just so used to using flashtools,seus,pccompanion coming from my experience on xperia X10i, and one more thing I think you can update through the phone but is it safe I mean is there a possibility that i can brick my phone through the software update in my phone and last but not the least if I updated to 2.3.4 do we have a working root method for it or should I wait for the ICS update heard it will come early 2012 for our Sensation was planning to s-off,root,clockwork etc but I was thinking of loosing the ability to update my phone if ever the ICS roll out will come and plus I think I'm risking my phone in bricking it heard that getting s-on is kinda delicate procedure, what do you think guys?
Its actually pretty easy to s back on boss, no worries
yes being that you havent rooted yet you will be able to ota update with the steps as described by yourself. with no risk of bricking So no worries there
You will not be able to get the ics ota once you root, but again no worries our devs here on XDA work hard and quick, im sure ICS will be ported through the many ROMS made for the sensation, more than likely BEFORE the "official" release date.
Summary: go ahead OTA to 2.3.4 (once you doit will be easier to s-off since most guides to s-off are made for 2.3.4)
Root and s-off your device because its awsome
get ICS before "by the book" consumers

Hey Guys,
I wanted to ask a quick question. I am currently running LeeDroid's rom and I am done with it. I want to go back to what comes with original rom with ATT. I have HTC Inspire any recommendations where I can get it? I tried searching the forum but all the stuff seems from the begining of the year. I am not sure if there is something more recent. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks

If I understand you correctly, you could just use the Ace Advanced Hack Kit (you're gonna have to Google for it, the developer pulled his work from XDA and thus it would not be proper to link to it) to unroot and flash back to the stock ROM, then use the Software Update to update to the latest version. Alternatively, Gizmoe has taken the latest stock ROM update and rooted it. You could always flash that and keep root, if you wish.
It was the first ROM on the I4G's developement page. Jeez peeps, search for it

It's not pure stock, bloatware is gone, there's some tweaks, and you retain root.
If you want to lose root (not sure why anyone would), you can download the update package from HTC. You'll probably lose everything you have , but you'll be on 100% pure stock.
Installing OTA update if you're rooted doesn't work
tried it, update does not launch, but again, why would you

Hi all.
I have watched the NOOB Video. I have scoured the forum. I have looked at other Android sites. I,m at a loss.
I have recently been given an old stock GT-I5801 that was never updated and network locked to Orange. To be able to use the phone I unlocked it. I gave my rooted xperia x8 running a hacked 2.2 to my son, as I read that the I5801 had an official Froyo 2.2 update. I installed KIES, updated as requested when first running the software, and it doesn't recognise the phone. I tried uninstalling/re-installing KIES and not updating it, I found that the phone had two Home screens (orange and TwLauncher) I tried connecting using both.
I have found instructions on how to put the official firmware update on not using KIES but the links to the firmware its self are broken.
I decided to update to a Android system 2.3.7 / CyanogenMod 7.2, however the instruction require I root it, the instructions to root are for Froyo 2.2
I'm going around in circles, I'm at a loss. can any one point me in the right direction to get at least Froyo 2.2 official on this phone. Thanks.
P.S. I may of ignored the part in the NOOB video that tells us to be brief...........sorry.
Just flash cm7 or any rom with odin, check the flashing guide in sticky thread.

Well if that's the only way, would been nice to have a fully working 2.2 rather than a hack with issues. I'll go look into the least problematic one, cant be any worse than 2.1 stock.

GT-I5801 has indeed been updated to Froyo and Froyo is one of the more stable firmware/ROM for our mobile.
You can download any stock Froyo ROM of your wish from the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497261.
Esle, you can look up to this thread to use any of the Custom ROMs which have better features than stock ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234591
I prefer Kisadworx or PuruKisadHybrid.
Download Kyrillos rom or any rom flashable via Odin. Just flash it no need to root as many roms are prerooted.

Hi I need help with my Samsung galaxy Q SGH-T589R. I want to update its Android version. I tried updating it from keis but it says that my device is not supported for updating via Keis. My android version is 2.2.2. I have no idea what a ICS is but I want to try it. But before that I need some info on it. Please help me with this I am a complete noob at this. My internal memory is also ****ed up. I dont even have many apps :/. I have about 30 mb free >.<. Also im using a SD card with 2 gb space.
Alright, Android 4.0.X is referred to as Ice Cream Sandwich also known as ICS, it's not a new android platform but it's not old either.
To able to run android 4.0.X your device needs to be able to run it. What comes down to this stage is the specs of your phone. If your phone doesn't not have any support for newer android versions such as ICS, then updating to it will be quite tricky or maybe even impossible.
If your device has developers and or modders that spare their time to make these aftermarket versions of the newer platforms. Then you're in luck, but beforehand you must have root access, a custom recovery installed and you need your bootloader unlocked to continue with the process of an aftermarket firmware update.
If the manufacturer of your device which in this case is Samsung, decides to release an OTA ( Over The Air ) update. Simply go to Settings>About>System Update. If there are any new updates it should appear there. And the rest can be handled from there.
I know very little about Samsung Kies, but if it says it does not support your device then automatically assuming you won't be able to install anything using it.
Hopefully I helped and answered your questions.
PS : Space may also be a problem as new platforms may be bigger than old platforms. ICS is defiantly larger than Froyo ( 2.2.x )

Is there ICS for your device? If so is it an official update by your manufacturer or is it an aftermarket one made by a user?

Don't think an upgrade from 2.2 to ics would work very well. Doubt you'll get an official ota update from Samsung.

Yeah sadly the Q was not popular and i dont think it even received a Gingerbread rom, your best bet is to find a deodexed rom, what it is is its still stock android 2.2.2 but it has removed all the bloatware and apps that samsung or t-mobile has put on it that you dont use and gives you more free space.
