HEy everyone,
I have an HTC One S with Fido and after getting sick of waiting for 4.0.4 (which still hasnt realeased to us) i sim-unlocked the phone in hopes of getting hte update. However to my bad luck it still shows that there are no new updates.. Can anyone explain to me what is wrong ??
P.S: I know a lot of people will suggest me to flash a custom ROM but I just want to know if i can get it the normal way.
Thanks in advance
What country are you in? A little more description with your question might help

The reason is because to sim unlock you have to have root. You can't update with root. I would flash an ruu that matches your device, tmobile, europe, rogers, etc... andmatches your bootloader. (1.06, 1.09, 1.13, 1.14) (You must lock your boot loader prior to the ruu. "fastboot oem lock") Run the ruu > update > root > new rom(Optional) > sim unlock again. Hope this helps

I am in Canada and my build number is 1.84.631.9 CL64348.
I did some research in other threads and what i seem to understand is that my phone is still bound to my carrier's updates unless I change the CID.... Tell me if i'm wrong.
And @Qs5 I'm not rooted yet and the bootloader isn't even unlocked, when i said i sim-unlocked my phone i was talking about the old fashioned way (with the unlock code).

I Want to un-root my unlocked HTC One S. The original carrier was Telus (Canada) But i have been using it on Bell. I have read a couple forums on here and none seem to help me. My phone was rooted with a stock rom. But i have deleted all Super user data and relocked my boot loader And re installed the stock recovery but i still cannot get software updates (The reason I want to un-root) Can someone tell me what i am missing?
Did you try the full unroot option within SuperSu's settings?
Edit: nevermind. You said super user not supersu

I have downloaded the Rogers ruu. But haven't ran it yet. Will it lock my phone to rogers if i run it? Or do i need to find a ruu the is for my appropriate carrier?
Get then Run the Telus RUU.
There's few threads about that on XDA with easy steps.

I am not with Telus I am with Bell. And I Looked but couldn't find a Bell ruu. Is there not anyway to just completely factory reset through HTC sync?

Unless you got a SuperCID your phone is branded as a Telus phone and require the Telus RUU. RUUs are linked with the CID of the phone, not the SIM inserted, you can't run a Bell RUU.
I need a little help.
My ROM is : RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_Vodafone_DE_3.32.162.11_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251539_signed
I root-ed with SuperSU v0.92 installed in recovery mode with install from zip file option.
Rooted but S-ON
HBOOT 1.27.0000
Can i flash ROM to stock without s-off my device?
Sorry foe my bad english
Of course you can. Just use 4ext and make sure smart flash is enabled (4ext is a recovery)

And maybe another stupid question. My phone was removed from the Vodafone network and passed to Serbia.
Whether this program will lock my phone for Vodafone network or not?
I'm new to the Android world i know how this works on iOS.

If you brought the phone network locked.. Then other sums can't be used.. And if it unbranded or sim unlocked then changing roms/ruus doesn't effect the unlock status

I dont know is the phone unlocked or what i brought it in mobile store with Vodafone logo and this piramid ROM in Serbia.
Because i dont know that is my concern.
Uhhh hello again tnx all for help i just flashed my ROM to stock with S-ON and bootloader locked just using .exe file from this link.
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/
I download my stock rom and start exe file and just follow the steps.
I'm new to this site, just registered. Sorry i'm a noob!! So I have had the Blue Tmobile One S since august but sold that one to my friend and bought a black one from a guy and said it's from solavei, So I try it and everything seems legit except It's running Android 4.0.3 and Sense 4.0. So I go to menu>Software updates>check now to see if I can get the OTA they had in September but it says I am currently up to date. I checked my sotfware information and it said my software number was 1.84.1135.17 71ORD. I look online to see if I can some how download it and it told me that if I don't have these two other numbers and had something else then the warranty is void and I can't get updates. So My big question is how can I change my software number? Do I have to like root my phone? Then some how unroot it back to a different stock ROM? I'm open to suggestions and I would really like an answer thanks!!

If you're on 1.84 I would not update via OTA. You probably have a 1.06 or .09 hboot, which will be extremely nice for you.
I would suggest unlocking your bootloader via HTC and installing TrickDroid if you want stock. There arr several guides, including a all in one tool to help you with the process.

You can try typing *#*#CHECKIN#*#* into the dialer and then checking for updates.
Or you can find a T-Mobile US 2.35 RUU and running that. However it will be more difficult to flash ROMs once you have upgraded if you want to do that later on.

I tried that and all it did was say in my notifications "checkin succeeded" and nothing else happend.. so idk about that. I'm not really looking to root my phone, all I really want to do is have my phone run on the latest software and get OTA updates if possible. But if I need to root it, I will. And for the second thing, I'd have to root my phone to run the 2.35 right?

After "checkin succeeded" you should then check for updates in Settings, as I mentioned earlier.
You seem to be running an "ORD" build which is basically like a Beta test for the latest software. RD stands for Research & Development. The latest 2.35 RUU should work without rooting.
However that will upgrade your HBOOT and make it more difficult if you decide to root later on.

I am on 1.84 and I don't have the 1.06 or .09 hboot, I have the higher 1.14 I think, on Cincinnati Bell wireless. Not to hijack your thread bud but I am stuck wondering what I should do as well, since there is no RUU from my provider, I have cid HTC_017.
I also have the 4.0.3 with HTC 4.0

Change CID to HTC__001, run a 2.31 unbranded RUU. Then use the downgrade thread to downgrade down to 1.06 HBOOT.

Hello everyone, iv been a long spectator on XDA for a long time, previously owning many android devices. I think the ONE S is my favourite of all. So i decided to post something to ask you guys. Anyways I own a ONE S from Canada, its the S4 version. I rooted it with this method here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
Because the phone was carrier locked , i went to unlock it with this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693491 (method2)
Im on stock ICS rom still and everything is going good so far and i recieved notification for JB update. So my question is can i proceed with the OTA update , or do i need to do something first? And will my phone be carrier sim-locked again if i do the update?
Iv heard many stories of bricked phones after OTA update here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065127.. im just scared
Thanks guys.
btw, CID getter is telling me ROGER001, but im using it on WIND network right now)

Not 100% sure, but I think most of the stories from bricked phones after update relate to those who had SuperCID their phone, (ie CID w 1111111). Im not sure if it will relock your SIM, but it really shouldnt, since the partition related to the sim unlock shouldnt get flashed.
But its always your own choice whether to update or not. If you want JellyBean stock then update. You may also end up with a newer radio (better reception), newer wifi, etc and other upgrades. Indeed, with a low hboot you can always upgrade those things anyways, so there is more than one way to get what you want. But if it aint broke, nobody is going to tell you to fix it. Your likely fine to update, but theres no guaruntees in life!
You may have to re root your phone afterwards.
Thanks for replying. I wish more people can tell me with more concrete answers. ... I wonder using the root method I mentioned above gives me superCID. Then I would know if I could proceed or not.

Rooting in and of itself would not give you SuperCID. You would have to specifically hex edit some partitions yourself to change your CID

can you please save the downloaded update zip file from rogers before flashing/updating? and post-it somewhere so other can get it?
will help lot of people
on topic now: because you're rooted and unlocked, it is unlikely the phone will execute the update; however it will download the file, so you will found it on sdcard partition
I promise ill upload it tomorrow, And yes it didnt execute the update...it just went into recovery and gave me an error. Im guessing its because im using a custom recovery. So i guess i have to be on stock rom , stock recovery and unrooted. Trying to look for a guide now

I think you can then flash more RUU's
I unlocked , installed custom on my phone, then I relocked my bootloader and flash stock att2.20 by running ruu.exe. now, everytime I checked for software update, it always says service unavailable. Do you guys know anything about this problem? Btw, my phone is unlocked and use T-Mobile.

It always puzzles me why do people on custom ROMs want to get OTAs?
AT&T JB isn't rolling out yet. When it does, it will get posted in Development in a TWRP-flashable rooted form.
I also doubt the OTA will feature much (if anything) that is not already present in the JB Sense ROMs already up in Development, plus all of AT&T's bloatware crap and other meddling. Possibly including a new hboot that will mess up even more stuff this time.
