Google it. I assume it's the 4.0.4 update that was released in EU today. This is definitely not something that warranted a thread, let alone a thread in the development section. Please try searching for answers before posting in a dev section. Thanks.
Mods, please close.
I agree but here it is incase you haven't found it yet

How to I update my phone or is it up to date. Do I have to do the flash thing I hear about. I know nothing about flashing if so.
my current info is:
model:droid pro
android:2.3.3
build:4.5.1-110-vns-22
eri:5
kernal:2.6.32.9
Seems like you are running 2.3 (Gingerbread) which is a fairly recent release of Android. I would say you are kind of up to date.
Regarding the flashing. Google is your friend! I guess there are gazillions of posts on that topic on this forum. Do a search!
2.3.3 is probably the latest update motorola has for that device on your carrier.
check the device's forum to see what the latest factory version is.
Hi, i am a complete noob in this... so could someone please provide a step by step guide to revert back to gingerbread from ICS...i got the official update and i think my AMAZE doesnt have the hardware to handle it...its very slow now and i'd like to revert back to the gingerbread...so please..i have no clue whatsoever...i found some threads with regards to this but they were for someone with a little knowledge of these things and i was lost..help please
Can't offer specific downgrade help. Search of the forum or with Google should turn up something.
However, downgrading is not the answer. The Amaze hardware is certainly quite capable of running ICS very well. If not an official OTA would not have been released. And I've been running ICS on my Amaze since well before the OTA update with no problems at all. Runs very nice.
So...you need to identify the real problem. Could be a bad app or upgrade gone wrong - a number of things. Good place to start would be to see if something is hogging CPU cycles.

Ics has a brick issue and it will require plenty of reading on the subject. You essentially would use pc odin to reflash the old software.

Guys,
I just bought Desire S 2 days ago. It came with GB 2.3 & sense 2.1. I just checked out http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads/ & it has kernel source code for Desire S. Does this mean, I can flash the kernel to my device & it will be updated to GB 2.6.3?
Does kernel means android version here ??
Your device already contains the kernel. You can check for updates from your Settings -> About -> Software update it will pop-up if there is any. On stock phone there is no need to flash anything it comes out of the box
And the android version is generally defined by the OS not by the kernel

I got that but my question is , if I flash the kernel(2.6.5) I downloaded from htcdev site, will this update my gingerbread from 2.3 to 2.6.5 or I could update it only over OTA. ?

What you're seeing on the HCDev site is the kernel source code... that is used by kernel devs to cook up kernels... you can't as an end user just flash the entire source!! It's not the kernel, it's the source. And anyway, kernel has nothing to do with upgrading you to a higher version of any OS... that's what a ROM does.
If you're asking these sort of questions, you hazard a very big chance of bricking your 2 day old device, so as a friendly advice, I'd suggest you do a looooot of reading in the Index and the Guide threads before attempting any kind of flashing. From your posts, I see you're pretty inexperienced with android and a good knowledge base built before attempting all sorts of crazy flashing will keep your device safe from inadvertent bricking.
Read a bit more...ask questions and get answers...and then it'll be happy flashing for you!:good:
BTW, have you even S-off'ed and rooted your device? How were you planning to flash the kernel (...source!!):cyclops:

Thanks. that really helped. And yes I am noob with android. I had an LG optimus black few months ago & it did not had anything like S-ON or S-OFF. I just rooted it & used to flash a lot of ROMS.
I think I need to read a lot about Desire S before I flash anything.
One more question, is there any other way to officially update to GB 2.5 apart from OTA. I have a very slow 2g connection on my device & it will take forever to download some 230 MB of data.
Thanks again.

Apart from updating via ota, there is no 'official' way of updating to a higher os. You don't have to download the ota over your mobile data connection. Wi-Fi is always preferred.
I would still recommend getting s-off and then flashing custom Roms. It is way better and more efficient than official updates which always leave out some thing to be desired. Custom Roms like Endymion take care of all those issues.

Hey guys,
I have the latest official OTA Update for my HTC One S on Bell.
Version 1.84.666.9
Sense 4.0 instead of 4.1 tmobile version
Android 4.0.3
I do not have the possibility to change the Recent apps button.
I would like to stay on stock rom just to avoid flashing rom updates and deal with glitches.
Should I just wait it out for jellybean or should I change my CID to something else?
Help would be appreciated!
Thanks

What you should do is follow forum rules and post in the right section if you want your question answered. DEVELOPMENT FORUM IS NOT FOR Q&A. THAT'S WHAT THE Q&A SECTION IS FOR! (shocking i know )
Moved To Q&A
I really dont think any more needs to be said.
Realized it just after I posted it and I couldnt find my post anymore.
Sorry bout that!
Can delete this thread.. It's here twice!

Hello All,
I havent been on XDA for quite some time, I used to flash Cyanogen ROMs pretty much daily a few years ago (on my HTC Hero!).
I now have a Nexus 5 and am frustratingly waiting for an Android Lollipop OTA update which hasn't arrived yet! I am tempted to flash a 5.0 ROM, but wanted to ask if by doing so I will stop receiving future OTA updates from google i.e 5.1 whenever its released. Apologies if this is a dumb question... I've been out of the customisation game for a long time!
Thanks

wrong forum. you posted in development section. this belongs in q/a section. but yes, if you flash a custom rom you will not get otas.

Sorry, hopefully a mod can move it to the correct section
Ahh... that does complicate things. I don't have as much free time as I used to so I may just stick it out and wait for the official OTA.
Thanks for the reply!
