Hi,
Earlier today I restored my Desire S to factory settings, expecting to receive the OTA update to ISC. However, although the update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 appeared, an update to ICS did not. How can I get the OTA update? My phone is unbranded.
Thanks in advance
That's because the update hasn't been released...yet.
Ah, OK. I was under the impression that it was released in June/July - that's what HTC's update timetable said, wasn't it?

Yep but it's been forwarded to sometime towards the end of this month. It will also depend on your carrier. If you want to be first to receive it your best bet will be through a custom ROM
OK, thanks for the information. I know I could use a custom ROM, but after I nearly bricked my phone attempting to port a Jelly Bean ROM from the Galaxy Nexus, I thought I should maybe go back to stock, for the time being at least. Once the Jelly Bean ROMs become more stable, I'll probably root again and get one of those.
Also, I've heard some people say that once I upgrade to ICS with HTC, I won't be able to root/S-OFF again. Is this true? If it is, I probably won't bother getting the OTA to ICS.
You attempted to port the JB ROM? Man if have that kind if skill, is it hard for you to root and install a ROM?

Have you tried using CM10? It is in alpha stage but it is pretty stable and most features work. Also it is super quick and smooth

No, actually, it isn't to hard for me to root my phone and run a custom ROM. I've been running custom ROMs on my Desire S for the best part of a year now.
@mzr92 No, I haven't tried Cyanogenmod 10. Since it was in alpha stage, I wasn't sure how stable it was. I might just try that out. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello, i installed the teamos rom stable a week ago, and i'm very surprised to receive what it seems like an official update to 4.0.4. So i have a few questions :
1. Is it safe to accept this update ? I mean without loosing the teamos features ?
2. Could the teamos propose its updates the same way ?
Thank you
1. No. You will end up in a boot loop.
2. They don't have that capability to my knowledge.

Nope. I would not attempt it.
How do we get rid of the update notification if we are running TeamEOS or Other custom ROM?
Yea I am having the same issue with cyanogen. 9 rom. Anyway to bypass it

you need to get the paid version of Titanium Backup and freeze the android updater process to prevent the update notifications.
Edit.. well this worked on my phone to get rid of the notifications.. but i cant find the program that does it on CM9.. so i dont know

Is this for the wifi only model? Has ICS officially come out for the 4G models?
I'm getting the same notification but I cannot find the android update process as mentioned. Any ideas?

I agree the solution would be to upgrade to a 4.0.4 teamos version. Maybe they could tag this as a 1.5 stable So « simple users» like me wouldn't be afraid.
The problem still exists since a new 4.0.5 OTA would cause the same problem......

system update 4.0.4 with teamos 1.0 rom
I would never try to perform an official OTA update after a custom from has been installed. That is just asking for trouble. You also mentioned that you were running team eos's rom. I can tell you first hand experience, I've been a very loyal team EOS from user for my Xoom for several months and typically load every nightly they put out for my model. The reason I point this out, is because most times the developer roms xda are actually much further along than the official updates. The biggest example is the fact that ICS is not available officially from Motorola/Verizon as of yet. Plus you get so many features and functions you will likely not see in the official builds.
Others - feel free to help me explain, agree, disagree, etc....
Good luck,
®obert
I've tried many, and I mean many roms, mods, and themes. Hands down - Team EOS is the single most exciting, knowledgeable, helpful and down right customer oriented in the Android Development groups.

I have a stock xoom wifi us version. It say their is a update available for my system. I go to update it and it go thru the process and then restart. But when it restart it is still on 3.2 and it keep pooping up saying that their is a update available. What is going on is their something I need to do different. Should I just root it and but custom rom on it ?

However, to answer your question, you should just install a custom ROM. They are nicer.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
install a custom rom.
Have you ever rooted it, or flashed any custom roms? I think that can interfere with OTA updates.
Either way, all you have to do is install a custom rom. I recommend the EOS ICS 1.0.0 rom. Check it out here.
Nightlies are better and have more features.

No! Nightlies are different
Only use nightlies if you know what it is. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who has difficulties updating his stock rom...
Getting the update message on EOS 1.0.0 now. I will agree this ROM is much better than stock
Im looking for a complete Stock ICS Rom if its available i used to have the Nexus S Unlocked and i love the complete Stock ICS Look, im wondering is there a Rom with all of that??
Yesterday i was testing the last waffle house build but i got three things i didnt like, first one the usb storage problem, second one for some reason some of the apps wont download at all, and finally the phone re booted on it self.
Any other build out there with the real stock look of ICS??

That's kind of a stupid statement,***mod edited***... The ICS releases that are out now are just like stock AT&T ota ics... Do you think they're going to change the rom completely or give us aosp ota??? The releases that we have are as close to stock as they are gonna get, only thing they're doing now is getting bugs out or adding apps from the carriers that they want... Have you tried all of the ICS roms out there? I've been running seanz ucle2 ics release rom and I've had absolutely no problems... As long as you read/follow the instructions completely everything should be fine... And thinking about this, the skyrocket is from AT&T not from google so we're never going to get stock ICS ota... OTA releases are not gonna be like aosp, aokp or cm9...
No no no I'm not a dev guys OK I ported the rom and the last release I only helped a bit I been busy on a few projects for the skyrocket community lol but to say the hard work and dedication that actual devs have put in is beneath you is a statement that I can not condone and actually is an insult to this site the roms in the dev section are far beyond what anything Samsung will ever do (/rant)

Thread Closed due to a nonproductive discussion.
Im sorry if this has already been asked but I am on the fence of buying a tablet for work and ive narrowed it down to the Nexus 7 and the TF300. Im 99.9% sure I am going to be buying the TF300 ($100 more than the 16GB N7, but it has 2x the memory, 10", mHDMI out, and sdCard, no brainer). However I was wondering how the updates are from ASUS and when we could expect Jelly Bean?
Asus tends to be on top of things when it comes to updates in a timely manner. Although I wouldn't base your decision soley on jelly bean. As with any android version update, there are going to be bugs and app compatibility issues that has to be ironed out at first. Then android manufacturers have to tweak the source code and kernels to work with their roms. Then they have to iron out the bugs then. Any products of 2012 will most likely see jelly bean eventually. Newest isn't always the best. Especially when it comes to OS and software.

The N7 will be the priority for the short term. Once sales tail off then they can focus on the T700. They'll get to us promptly but not a priority. Yes, just IMO....

I understand the hype with jellybean. But when did ICS become an old outdated OS?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
put it this way
ICS is to JB what Vista was to Win7
(on most devices)
and that is the problem with Android, too many versions out at the same time that work perfectly well on the devices they are installed on

As soon as I loaded it on my Galaxy Nexus.
ICS is great, but JB is waayyyy better, imo.
I would think that since the Nexus 7 was built by Asus that they would have a leg up on getting updates out. Especially since they stick close to vanilla on their roms
Android 4.1 Source now in AOSP
Jelly Bean source is being released today to AOSP Per Jean-Baptiste Queru the Technical Lead for the Android Open Source Project at Google...

What's replacing flash?
Nothing is replacing Flash. Flash doesn't need to be replaced. It needs to die and be forgotten. If your favorite websites still use Flash instead of proper HTML5, they need to get with the times and dump the resource- and bandwidth-hogging abomination known as Adobe Flash. E-mail them, and let them know that they need to update their $#!t.
I'm new here and an android newbee. I purchased an Asus tf300t a few day ago and have been reading up on all the cool ways it can be modded.
I've already rooted and overclocked it.
Is there a way that I can install JB on it as it's already rooted?

Once rooted, can it be upgraded via the official method (from Asus)? I just bought TF300 and waiting for it in the mail, so excited
Yes, a rooted TF300T can still receive OTAs. But you may lose root access after applying it, so use VooDoo OTA RootKeeper to backup.

Hey everybody I just switched to DROID from using ios the past 4 years and I'm really happy with my choice. The iPhone 5 was the last straw for me so instead I picked up a feature packed galaxy siii. I want to thank you guys for the tutorials you guys have posted as it really helped in understanding how to flash the custom roms. I have my siii set just how I want. I just have one question if someone doesn't mind answering. When the official jellybean update comes out will I need to revert back to stock rom to update or can I update ota on a custom rom? Please excuse me if I didn't post this in the right section. This is my first post. Thanks for all your hard work.
I believe you would have to revert to stock and then do the ota.

Just wait for one of the Devs to do their magic on Jelly bean when it comes out. I'm sure it wont take them to long to do.
Congrats! Btw, if you're already running a custom rom, then you should probably just wait until the developer updates it, or install a new JellyBean rom when you're ready.

Take it easy on me lol
It kinda depends on how long you are willing to wait for the update. You definitely won't be able to accept the OTA update if you are running a custom rom, but devs will have a flashable version on XDA available almost immediately after the official is released. A couple of days later custom roms will start appearing.
Another reason to wait is there is always the possibility that the update will in some way disable root. This has happened before with several VRZ phones. So I would wait(a couple of hrs) till XDA gets their hands on the update before making any moves.

wait for a dev to release the official TouchWiz JB, then wipe data from cwm recovery and flash away. Fyi there currently is a TouchWiz JB leak by Incubus in the dev section, but its has bugs...If your looking for stability; Touchwiz ICS>AOSP(paranoidandroid,aokp,cm10)>Touchwiz JB Leak
And to help you, Synergy is a very stable ICS touchwiz ROM. Paranoid is a very great ROM but it might be a bit confusing for you since you're new with the tablet mod n tweaking APKs and such. CM10 is good but I like AOKP better for the customization

Welcome to the Android community!
There are lots of good ROM choices and Jelly bean is available as a teaser if you'd like to check it out
My favorite ICS ROM is Synergy
My favorite JB ROM is Jellywiz
Enjoy and happy flashing !!!
You can make a nandroid backup of your current setup which saves everything, all your data/games. and try one of the current JB roms. I am currently on ICS cleanrom, and been thinking about waiting for a 100% working one to come around. The nandroid backup is so you can easily go back to your old setup if you don't like the newer rom.

He's working on an aosp JB build, has a working alpha right now, but until he gets his device this week, he can't work out the bugs quickly. You will see eclipse...I'm guessing pretty quickly after he gets his phone
He will have a TW Rom out...but I'm sure he will wait for the official JB build for that.
