New official update for HTC Chacha found 1.57.720.3

Hello Everyone,
I just received a notification that a new software update is available for my HTC Chacha here in India: 1.57.720.3
I am currently on 1.57.720.1 and have unlocked and rooted the device (no custom rom installed)
I have a question:
If I update to this version, will I have to root my phone again? If not, then what is the benefit to update to this version??
Should I update?? I don`t want to lose my root ability.

Don't update, you will have to re root. If I were you I would get cm7 or cm9 they run very well and are much better than the stock ROM

Tried what?
Those listed there on htcdev are NOT ROMs. Those are kernels. You download those and then get the android source code from google, then build android for yourself using those kernels. Which should be for ICS but it has been discussed in the dev section and they seem to be for GB.
Further more, I have compared the 4.0 India and the 2.3 India and only 3 GPIO files have been modified. So it's GB kernel with 4 more lines of code.

1. this is not ICS?
2. Will i get it stable on my chacha!!

No software update for my HTC One S...

I have an HTC One S which runs the german T-Mobile stock rom... (No root)
This is the software version:
Android 4.0.3
Software 1.77.111.5
HTC SDK API level 4.11
When I check for updates it says that my phone is already updated...
I had checked T-Mobile website and I saw a post that says that only these versions will get an update: 1.84.531.2 710RD and 1.53.531.16 710RD
But my version is 1.77.111.5... what does it mean? I'm not going to get an update? And what can i do with that...?
Thanks

Hi Ohad (I'm assumed you are Israeli, but I'll talk English anyway )
I have the same problem as you do, and the reason you don't have software update, and your version doesn't exist on T-Mobile's website, is because what you have said: you have German T-Mobile version.
1. The website is for USA version, not all of the countries. The german version is on this website (I assumed you don't know Deutsch (German), so it'll be hard to find the info about the update).
2. The Germany version probably haven't get the update yet. I hope for you (and for me) the update will come soon.
Have a nice day,
Bar

Ok, thanks
Is there any forecast about when it should be released for us?

According to their forum, there is no date for the update. Of course a lot of people are angry over there, so I guess the pressure will do the job.

Are you guys sure it`s made for Germany?
I have the same problem, but mine it`s made for Austria(if I try to open "Installation Mediecenter" it redirects to Play Store to an app by Tmobile Austria).
Can you guys check that?
Thanks!

i heard the update is only available for t-mo US only, not sure for European t-mo

Add me to the list. Im career-unlocked officially, still not update for my in Pakistan. My friend's One X got 4.0.4 a month ago. :S

same here. 4.0.3 was the lastet android version i could get with stockrom in germany.

You could always flash the 1.84 (4.03 Us T-mobile) ruu and update to 2.35 (4.04 Us T-Mobile) Because the hboot matches. Just a thought

It might contain what your looking for.

Just to clarify, my phone in unbranded and S3 model. Custom ROM I have is Jellybean based from one of the 3 available.

We have to wait till someone do a proper RUU for Jelly Bean... /:
My base is 4.1.1. (original stock, with TWRP recovery and root) and I would also like to flash OTA 4.1.1 (meaning -just a normal re-flash)

[emoji1] in Europe we are still on december 2017 ...

HTC doesn't deserve our support anymore...
At least in Europe.

I got that update here in the states but I'm wondering when will give us 9.0 pie

This is the reason why I convert my European model to TW device...
Cheers

I'm still on December 2017(EU). My last phone from HTC, that's for sure. Next year i will buy an One Plus.

Short story before I get to my question.
I have a U11+ bought direct off HTC in Hong Kong.
I have had no updates since Dec 2017.
Wrote to HTC in Europe about the lack of updates and got this amazing reply:
------------------
Thank you for contacting HTC.
In regards to your enquiry about updates, kindly note that after running the serial number provided, your device ship country is Hong Kong.
Which means, it is not from EU region, and devices from the Asian region most of them cannot be updated and have no option to update.
------------------
Soo I checked through the XDA forums seems the TW version of the phone is the only one that gets regular updates.
Then I unlocked bootloader and downloaded HTC_U11+_TW_1.24.709.93_Images_OTA from nene bear.
I didn't install TWRP as I was going to return to stock and just be happy with the updates hopefully coming from the TW version.
all went smooth thanks to all the excellent posts and help on the forum.
378 fastboot flash -S 1G system system.img
379 fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
380 fastboot flash boot boot.img
oh and I relocked my bootloader
Yesterday I got a message about new update (I'm currently on Vodafone in Ireland)
I downloaded but it wouldn't install see the 2 screenshots.
ahh can't post the screenshots because i'm a new guy
its says:
cant update cause i may be running a modified version of system software....
I wonder is that because i turned of the boot lock once?
Or is this because of my CID is still HKG ??
I'm going to fire up fasboot and try and side load the update I downloaded from nene bear as I don't have root access and i couldn't find the update on the phone
I saw an interesting thread from handsome_hell about changing cid
Would the TW version or the WWE version the best for updates.

I have both TW and EU version of HTC-U11+ (both rooted with Magisk 18.0) and will apply OTA on TW only when RUU will be available (as I had - probably self-caused - problems during previous update of TW version).
I am not too advanced but AFAIK the phone needs to be "s-off" to change the CID to apply other region version updates smoothly, which is not available yet for HTC-U11+ (maybe I am wrong).
I hope for the EU version updates a "shortcut" directly to Android 9.0 (which was announced for HTC-U11+), otherwise the neglect of EU updates is really weired.

Today I got an answer from HTC support why European version U11+ did not get security updates ...
Sorry for for the answer but we can't say why 11+ is not getting security updates.
That's all [emoji1787]

Okay. I switched to a Pixel 3, great device and just the right size compared to the U11+ for me.
Bye HTC. Great devices wasted by a poor support...

Ah Thanks for the reply
I did have further conversations with HTC customer service regarding updates they said this:
------------------------------------
note that your phone is due to receive Android Pie very soon and this will be communicated via system notification message on your phone once the update is available for your phone, we are sorry for any inconvenience.
------------------------------------
It still doesn't explain the lack of regular security updates on the U11+ but my friends U11 has had 2 or 3 updates bought the same time as my U11+
I tried to get into recovery last night but got a red triangle Ill try it again later, got into the bootloader and download mode fine.
Think Ill end up going down the TWRP and Magisk route and change the CID just a bit more reading up to do.

u11 + model is selling in taiwan because the small updates take that region. I think he's looking at the sales figures. But if it's just Taiwan for the update, it won't be able to sell anywhere except Taiwan. International brand, will be the domestic brand.

Received today in Belgium on TW version of the device!

Not at all, update 1.24.709.994 as the title said! When Pie will arrive, the version number will become 2.xx.709.xxx
U12+ hasn't received it yet I think and it will sure arrive on it before U11+!
