[Q] HTC Desire S - Vodaphone UK Android 2.3.5 & Sense 3.0 update?

Hi there, I currently own an HTC Desire S, the information for it is below:
Android version:
2.3.3
HTC Sense version:
2.1
Software number:
1.28.401.1
Operator name:
vodaphone UK
I haven't yet recieved the Android 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 update. I have tryed searching for updates and checking in using that checkin dial code. I'm just wondering if there's anyway to install this official update onto my phone with minimal risk? I've looked around the forums but can't find exactly what i'm looking for (or I just can't find it!).
Thanks!

I think that you have got the same software version 1.28.401.1 that I had until recently.
I would like to have used to OTA update route but basically got tired of waiting.
I believe that the OTA update was targetted (certainly at first) specifically at those people who already received the previous (troublesome) update to 1.47.
I believe this explains why we didn't get the update.
I loaded the RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed from the development section here and it works a treat. No problems.
The only thing that puzzles me is that my phone is very definitely unbranded and not operator locked, whereas you mention Vodaphone. (If your phone was locked to Vodaphone I would have expected a different software version).
Anyway, if your phone is unlocked like mine, I would certainly recommend using the RUU.

Thanks very much for your reply.
Yeah, unfortunately my phone is in fact locked to Vodaphone, and I couldn't find the equivalent update that you listed for unlocked phones.

i have a vodafone as well on the same firmware and never got it.
from what i hear the update was pulled due to instability so if you didnt receive it already i very much doubt you will untill a new version is released.
i gave up waiting and went to endymion 3.5

Are you sure it's locked?!
I thought that software version was for the generic european unlocked version.
Someone else help me here - can the same software number apply to both operator locked and unlocked phones?

i can confirm the htc euro ruu DOES NOT WORK ON VODAFONE BRANDED DEVICES. it bricked my phone and took a whole lot of work to downgrade back to the old hboot to get it working again. the only way to install this version on a voda desire s is via goldcard.it will just give you a cid error and brick your device

Completely agree, great care needed !
But my point was, the software version1.28.401.1 reported by Biogeneric appears to be the same as I had until recently on my unbranded phone.
I thought that if his phone was locked to Vodaphone, wouldn't it have a different software number? Or can the operator lock the phone to their network without changing this software version away form the "generic" one?
- Steve

I'm with Vodaphone, and it says my network is "vodaphone UK" so i'm assuming it's locked! How am I supposed to find out without putting a different networks Sim in?

Mine (which recently had the same software version and in NOT operator locked) simply says the name of whatever SIM card you insert.
I suspect your phone may be unlocked, but I'd like feedback from a more experienced developer before suggesting that you load the RUU! We don't want any nasty accidents
By the way, I've just loaded RUU for 2.10.401.8 and it's looking good so far...

Okay, I tried putting in an Orange sim card and setting the network to Orange and it appears to all work (well, I had signal on it, and the network was stated as "Orange"). So i'm assuming my phone is in fact unlocked then?
If so, great news! Am I all clear to update to that unlocked version then? Anyone got a link to the newest one? (Not any mods etc. just the standard update!).
Thanks all!

Be warned that this will wipe all existing data on your phone, so make sure that you have got everything saved. In some respects, this is a good thing because you are sure of getting a completely fresh install.
I can't see any reason why this shouldn't work for you, but I wouldn't feel bad if you got a second opinion

Okay thanks very much! I'll try updating it via that ROM tonight - hopefully I won't brick it!
Does anyone know if updating the phone using this method voids the warranty?
Also, how do I actually install that update to my phone? Seen a few tutorials scattared around but some are for different things and I don't want to mess it up! (Easiest/quickest method please, if there is one ha!)

I expect that doing almost anything other than the "official" OTA update theoretically voids warranty. But perhaps more important, if it all went horribly wrong, could anyone detect that you were fiddling with it
If you returned a phone rooted or S-off, then it's asking for trouble.
The discussed RUU is a signed update that does not invoke S-off or root the phone so should not create an "obvious" problem.
The way I updated my phone was as follows:
- I already had HTC Sync installed on my PC
- Fully charged phone
- Downloaded the RUU file to folder on hard disk
- Temporarily disabled my antivirus
- Temporarily disabled standby power saving option on PC
- Connected the phone as normal and selected the option on phone to do Sync
- I let the phone completely finish sync
- I ran the RUU on the PC and followed the simple instructions.
- It took about 10 minutes with no user intervention required.
I don't know if the whole HTC Sync thing is necessary, it was on my PC anyway and the procedure has worked OK for me.

I can now confirm this has all worked for me. no problems so far!
Thanks for all your help fasty! Very much appreciated.

Great news! Be sure to thank "Football" because he is the one that has done the hard work making these ROMs available.

Hi not sure if posting in correct thread but I am on O2 and also have the 1.28.401.1 software and just been informed by HTC my phone is unbranded despite coming straight from O2. Has anyone received the update whilst being on 1.28.401.1? Am i wasting my time holding out for an OTA update?

In need of major major help

I need some major help, good folks of XDA. I've purchased this HTC One S from a guy who got it from Fido; naturally it was locked to Fido. I was planning on giving it to my girlfriend who is with Telus. I used cellunlocker.net to unlock the phone to find out that it didnt work with Telus. It would pick up signal then lose signal, pick up signal and lose signal every 10 seconds or so. I thought if I put a custom ROM on it might get me signal so I unlocked bootloader, rooted and put Viper ROM on it but it turns out it still wouldn't pick up network on Telus. So I decided to try it on my network, Rogers, and it picks up network but only 2G!!! Now my One S has the stable CM10 on it with baseband 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L, unlocked bootloader with s-on, hboot 1.06, radio - 0.16.31501s.02
Here are the solutions I have tried so far to this problem;
-Tried to install multiple RUU both with ROGER001 CID and Super CID:11111111 and I couldn't install any of the RUUs, kept getting Error 155 with Rogers RUU and Check CID errors with other RUUs.
-Used to have 1.13 hboot but downgraded to 1.06 so I could change basebands and everytime I flash a different baseband, nothing changes after reboot.
-There is a recent jellybean rogers ota update zip but I dont know how to install it
please someone help!!! Thank you in advance and even more if my problem ever gets solved

Wrong forum for this kind of question. Have you tried flashing the telus radio? Also modifying the build.prop with the telus settings might help. Odd that you're having that issue on Rogers since Fido is the same network. Sounds like someone may have sold you a dud...

Just asking, why is this the wrong (forum) as you say cuz this forum handles all devices does it not and I don't see anything wrong with his post?

SuperCID lets you flash any RUU, that error is most likely down to the bootloader being unlocked so if you really want to run a RUU then you want SuperCID and the lock the bootloader then run the RUU and also before you start the RUU be in fastboot mode first.

Try hex editing mmcblk0p23 .... There is a method here for flashing RUUs that is discussed in the development forum in the sticky for downgrading your bootloader.... Try the hex edit, and then lock and then flash.
You could also try flashing a different baseband radio. For Canada, I didnt get the best reception from 1.08. You can d/l new baseband radios either for your phones radio partition or for CM10 (which uses a different location). There is a thread with radios collected in them in the development section.
I would try flashing a different radio before the RUU... The RUUs will upgrade your bootloader and then you cant flash new radios and other partition on SENSE seperately (ie ROMS wont flash properly and you will need to fastboot the boot.img every time)...

Funny , I unlocked my Original Fido One S to use it on Wind and it works perefectly. It should work on Telus ...have you tried inputting telus apn and restarting the phone after?

S-off and superCid

Hy,
I have an TMOUS HTC One S PJ40110, with the HBOOT - 2.15.000 and RADIO - 1.13.50.05.31 - Unlocked by HTCDev.
This cellphone is from US but is in Angola with the mobile provider UNITEL.
My problems are:
- When i flash a rom and insert the SIM card for the first time, I get HDSPA, but i receive a message like "privileges Changed", then i get stuck in 2g
- If i flash a rom like CM10 the cellphone cant connect to my Wimax router.
Just checked all apn settings and they are ok.
So, i try to S-OFF And Supercid to install an european RUU, i've followed step by step these tuturial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911), get no errors but still the CID doensn't change from T-Mob010.
Now i'm in official cm10. Sory for my poor english.
Best Regards

Someone could help please??
Can i supercid with HBOOT- 2.15.0000? i've tried several times, get no errors, but the cid doens't change.
Please need some help here

doesn't matter which hboot you are. if you're S-OFF you can do in fastboot mode "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"

I have the same problem with the cid not changing and my radio is half flashed and I cant flash an ruu untill someone finds a way to change the cid again.
Im not s-off

I'm not S-Off. The s-off thread says that i need to be superCid to S-off. But i can't get supercid.
I just keep reading threads about Stuck in 2g and can't find a way to fix this error.
I believe that this is not the radio frequencies, because when i insert a new sim card, it get's 4g like 5 seconds. then a message shows and i get stuck on 2g.

Do you know what the message says? Try going into the dialer and pressing *#*#4636#*#* and forcing WCDMA Only.

It's not possible to get scid, and S-off on OTA updated JB devece, the partition is WRITE-protectet . We need to wait for new metod to write s-cid.

I took the JB OTA and it worked fine. Same goes for most other people. And also, the S-OFF exploit was released after the JB update.

[Q] Unlocked Bootloader using HTC Dev, now phone has no service

Hi all.
I have A HTC Sensation, on Orange (UK).
The handset was completely standard, untouched. I have followed the guide to unlock my bootloader using HTC dev.
It seemingly worked, and I held volume down and pressed power and verified that the text at the top said "UNLOCKED". great
When I booted the phone, it gave me the "fresh start" intro screens, which I followed through on.
Once completed, the phone loaded to the normal home screen, but now gets no signal. Its always 0 bars and "NO SERVICE" warning.
Only thing I have done is as above, so unsure what could have gone wrong?
Only thing I can think is that I chose the wrong "what phone do you have" option on HTCDev. I chose HTC Sensation (EU), as the phone is not on tmobile, and not vodafone, and IS european. However, tmobile and orange are now part of the same umbrella company, so perhaps something bad happened there?
Unsure what I should do next? Re-lock the bootloader? Any suggestions very gratefully welcomed! Thanks

Hmm.. that's really weird. Unlocking the bootloader doesn't affect your cell phone signals. I would run a RUU and see if that fixes the problem.
Here's the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26541170
Follow steps 2&3.
Before you do, try taking out your sim and putting it back in. I highly doubt you put your sim in the wrong way, but I did this before (I don't think I'm the only idiot out there)
Sent from my HTC Sensation

Thanks. I'll follow that guide.
SIM card is in OK. Was I supposed to remove the SIM when I was unlocking the bootloader? I didn't do that.

Just waiting for the RUU file to download.
The guide says I need one with a higher or equal version to my main version. My main version is 3.x and the highest version I can find via the links in the guide are 1.x. Will this be ok?
I'm really not sure how the phone got this screwed up.If I did select the incorrect device type in HTCDev (i.e. I selected Sensation EU and should have selected Sensation Tmobile) would that possibly cause this problem?
Would it be worth re-locking, then unlocking using the tmobile device? Guessing I would be supplied with a different unlock_code.bin?
EDIT: Just checked and the tmobile device choice is actually for "tmobile USA", so looking like I chose the correct device after all.

RUU I had failed. As I say my version is 3.x and this was 1.x so I'm not surprised.
My exact version reads: 3.32.61.51
Can anyone suggest a RUU file that I can have a go with, or any other suggestions?
Bootloader is currently RELOCKED.
Thanks

Did you try this ruu?

Sent from my HTC Sensation

Yes, I tried the first one you posted, which wouldnt work (too old presumably).
I will try one of the unbranded ones; but unsure if they are suitable as I have an Orange logo when I boot?
Thanks

Still waiting for the RUU to download, so will probably carry on looking at this in the morning now.
A little more info that might give someone an idea:
If i go into settings, and click on "Mobile settings" and go to choose carrier, the phone searches for carriers.
25% of the time it says "no network found"
75% of the time, it finds O2.
25% of the time it finds 3 or vodafone
It never finds orange. It seems it IS looking for networks though?
If I put the SIM card in my very old dumb-phone, it finds orange fairly quickly and connects.
Thanks for any help

There's another option. You can try to s-off your phone with ganeshp's guide and then flashing the 3.33 firmware which contains the newest radio and stuff.

But he relocked it... on the 5th post
Sent from my HTC Sensation

Hi guys
Thanks to you both for your suggestions.
This morning I unlocked the phone once more, and still had limited service. I then re-locked once again, and as soon as the phone booted it had full service, and has done ever since.
I have no idea what went wrong (they HTC Dev article is pretty straightforward, so I don't think I did anything wrong), and the action that I did above (unlock, relock) I must have done 5 times last night without any effect.
I am still determined to root the phone, so will probably end up with another broken handset soon But at least I will be doing it at the weekend this time, instead of midnight on a Thursday when I have to work at 7 the next day!
Thanks for all the help, I'm sure I'll be back with more questions (problems!) soon.

No problem! Glad to try to help
Sent from my HTC Sensation

Following this minor hiccup (still no idea why it happened) I've now got managed to:
Unlock
Root
Install recovery
Get SU
Get S-off
So thanks for all the help. I'm a complete beginner, but the guides on this site are great and really easy to follow.

Ville S4 - No Mobile Data after flashing CM 11

Hi all,
I got an HTC one S (ville S4) that used to be a branded phone for TMO Germany. Assuming there was no SIM lock (or that it would be removed by changing OS), I flashed CM 11 on it and now want to use it with Orange PL. Telephony and messaging is working just fine, but mobile data refuses to work.
Here is a list of what I did:
Confirmed APN settings
Checked with different SIM of same provider - same result
Checked with same SIM in different phone (galaxy s3) - worked like a charm
Tried with TMO PL SIM in ville S4 - worked like a charm
Checked endless forum entries to no avail - either I am not knowledgable enough or links are broken or the issue described is slightly different
Made radio logs for ville s4 with Orange PL SIM and with TMO PL SIM - I can supply the relevant parts - generally though I hoped it would tell me something, but it doesn't really do that...
In short, I think I might have a SIM lock still in place which messes up my phone. I found a guide on how to remove SIM lock, but for this, I would need to be on stock. I found some links to RUUs, but most of them seem to be borken, and I generally do not know which is appropriate.
Questions:
Is there a way to remove a potentially left over SIM lock without making changes to the general setup I have atm?
Can somebody please supply a stock RUU for my phone? Would the one below listed below work?
Thank you so much!
Best wishes,
Friedrich

Your problem seems to be very specific. Thats probably why you get no answers. Your phone was TMO branded, means the radio is TMO version too. The solution could be to S-OFF your phone and flash unbranded EU firmware including radio.

Hi LS.xD,
Thanks for taking the time to reply! Very much appreciated!
I was already thinking about flashing different radio and S-OFF the phone. However, none of the guides I found for achieving S-OFF seemed to apply for me as I felt some prerequisites weren't met by my specific case. Do you happen to have experiencing with S-OFF'ing a HTC ONE S?
If S-OFF wouldn't work - is there another chance to get another radio version and/or firmware installed?
Thanks again!

I was already thinking about flashing different radio and S-OFF the phone. However, none of the guides I found for achieving S-OFF seemed to apply for me as I felt some prerequisites weren't met by my specific case. Do you happen to have experiencing with S-OFF'ing a HTC ONE S?
If S-OFF wouldn't work - is there another chance to get another radio version and/or firmware installed?
Thanks again!
Friedrich

Try flashing a stock RUU or sense based rom. Then use rumrunner.us to gain S-OFF.

Howdy! So I went back at this and, oh boy, did that work.
I tried some roms and ended up with MIUI from here. Ironically internet worked without problem using this ROM...
I then followed all instructions from rumrunner and it worked like a charm. Fast boot is hidden away in a different place though on MIUI and I can also confirm that on Ubuntu 14.04 64-Bit rumrunner is working despite being not supported.
All that just in case someone else will have the problem too.
Now I am trying to figure out how to install new firmware and / or change my CID from t_MOB101 - but I guess I'll manage eventually...
Thanks for the help so far!

Thanks for the super-quick reply! Trying to apply this, however, doesn't seem to work for me.
I am in Fastboot Mode USB (there were tampered/unlocked is written on top etc.) I copy/paste the command into terminal and all I get is <waiting for device>. Am I simply in the wrong spot for this?

type:
fastboot devices
If everything is right your device will be listed, otherwise you'll have to reconnect it.
Are you still running Linux? Fastboot must be executed as "root" or with "sudo" prefix

Yes, I noticed... I flashed boot.img so many times with S-ON. I tried a couple of times and then simply used "sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader" to check if there is anything at all. After that it just worked with "fastboot oem writecid HTC__001" - upon rebooting another time into bootloader, now all is shiny! I still think the better explanation for this is that I did do some stupid mistake, but well...
Thank you so much! Just so you know: you helped me fix something that was bugging me since Christmas! So _really_ appreciate the help!
And with proper CID internet is working too! F**K YEAH!

Stock firmware EU can be found HERE (contains also radio)
I use radio 1.20
If you need to bring your phone back to stock you can use this RUU
