Help ota problems/ questions - HTC One S

Hey everyone what's up? I got a couple questions so I'm running a tmous HOS hboot 1.14 I went supercid and flash over to the WWE 2.31 ruu A while ago so tried to do OTA and wouldn't work would say that I'm using a modified version which I believe is the MID difference from the tmous HOS and the WWE one it I know I've seen on the forums somewhere that the OTA.zip could be ran like a ruu and I can't seem to find that post again so could someone run me through how to do that I would like the new hboot and radios. I'm using the rooted deodexed Rom and well I like it but have some issues plus I prefer to do all the rooting and extra stuff myself.

ICS OTA update on debranded Sensation

Hi all, apologies if this has been answered elsewhere.
I have a debranded Vodafone Sensation using Revolutionary and then CID change, S-Off, etc.
Is it safe to accept the OTA version of ICS, or better to go the whole hog and wait for the RUU? Is one available?
Thanks in advance.
OTA will be fine, or you can flash the RUU from the Shipped ROMs thread if you don't mind losing your data - it's up to you
If you're going to go down the OTA route, you have to be 100% stock bar the HBOOT to flash it without issues (e.g. not rooted, stock recovery)
Hi Eddy, thanks for the response.
I just did the necessary in order to debrand and unlock the phone to accept the Gingerbread stock RUU, I presume I would be OK with the OTA, or would you recommend the RUU?
Hi Eddy
I have received the OTA notification for the latest ICS update, but I am confused- I'm still S-off, hboot 1.18; should I not have received this update?
I think I would prefer to start again with an RUU executable programme to wipe the phone- is such a thing available yet?
Many thanks.
The 3.32.401.5 RUU is in the Shipped ROMs thread if you want it. OTA is fine if you're 100% stock but with S-OFF

and please is this RUU version 3.32.401.5 the same build as build distributed by OTA? In case I will apply it I would like to have solved "tap to URL" problem that was in original OTA file for Nordic countries and possibly in elevate distribution..

He means to check your firmware.
When upgrading to ICS you need to update your firmware. There's a thread by mike1986 that'll help you. You can find it in developer thread.

Yes, you need a newer firmware that's running ICS correctly.
It as been updated to the latest firmware to run ICS but the lad I bought it off said then's when all the problems began. So I was thinking of trying to downgrading it back to gingerbread [stock or custom rom] to see if that would sort the problems out

Have you installed a Custom Firmware or a Stock-Rom from ICS?
What firmware has you installed yet?
it was already rooted with a custom ISC rom installed So it came straight from a stock gingerbread rom to a custom ISC rom
Hello Freddy!
Have you tried to install another custom rom or re-install the one you already have? My guess is that it's not ICS that's messing with you but rather the ROM/firmware is. My tip for a rom is Ordroid (You can find it in the developer section of the sensation forum).
I don't know how experienced you are with rooting/flashing roms etc but when you go from one ROM to the other it's recommended to format the different partions (except SD-card).
Also here is a thread about different firmwares and how to install them if you don't want to change rom and just try a different firmware to see if it gets any better
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Here you have an all-in-one thread linking to different guides and fixthreads etc as well

How do you know if your downloading the right firmware [Unlocked UK sensation]
You can also download the latest ICS RUU. Then you will be completely stock, with the correct firmware. from there you can always try custom roms If you don't like the stock ones.
You can find the RUU's in the Pyramid Shipped Roms thread in de developers section

Hi
I decided to try and restore it to stock gingerbread rom put am not sure what rom and firmware I will need
You van download the RUU in the Shipped roms thread, If you run the RUU then everything will be installeren, firmware, radio, rom etc.
You can find the thread in the developers section. For europe you need the RUU with RUU_PYRAMID_1.50.401.2 in it's file name.

usually
go to the development section of htc sensation and look for virtuous or another ics and inside that same post, they will tell you which pyramid you can install, for your cellphone,
Flash a stock GB RUU so you will be putting the phone back to out of the box.Then start fresh reading all the tutorials available
am not sure which one i would need though
http://db.tt/1vf53aOI
This is a link for the 1.45 europe RUU. You can update it OTA to 1.50 to get the latest Gingerbread rom. Make sure you have the correct CID either HTC__001 or superCID.
If you want to flash the stock ICS rom then here's the RUU for that: http://db.tt/KLhJSmgk

Sorry for all the questions what is CID either HTC__001 or superCID.

CID... Is carrier identification.. It is to identify which model is linked to which carrier or whether it is unbranded.
A device with a particular cid.. Only receives update from that carrier only. (eg recently TMOBILE US ppl got ics)
If your cid is HTC__001 then your phone is Europe unbranded (not linked to any carrier) one
Now supercid is a unique cid (11111111)
That lifts carriers restrictions.. If you got supercid you can install official rom's (RUU) of any carrier and any country

Its unlocked to work with any network Is the supercid part of the rooting process

Differences between 2.21 and 2.31

Hi there!
Today HTC realesed updates 2.31 via ota , anyway the ones who install the officially RUU 2.21 ( like me ) are not able to install the new ota update. Now I was wondering what's change between the two because I'm having the fealing that 2.31 it's just 2.21 on the automatic updated channel. I'm asking because to install it I should wipe everything with the 2.31 RUU ( that by the way isn't out yet ), so I don't know if it's worth to do a such thing.

[Q] Question on Software update/warranty, etc

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.

Do SuperCID then any RUU will work.

RUU 3.18

Hi
I was looking at various CM 10.1/AKOP ROMS and many of them had RUU 3.18 as a requirement. From what I understand this is only required for ROMS running the 3.4 kernal.
My only problem is that I am using a Telus HTC One XL, and while looking at a thread with the RUU of each provider, the latest RUU for my phone was 3.17, which I am currently running.
Would I still be able to flash ROMS running the 3.4 kernal or should I stick to ROMS without that kernal?
If it helps:
Unlocked Boot loader
Rooted
Super CID
S-OFF
Hboot 2.14
Touch Firmware Downgraded
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not 100% sure, but you could always make a nandroid backup and try cm10.1. I *think* the 2.14 HBOOT is the important part.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
I you might as well just backup then try it. Worst case is it doesn't work and you restore backup. Also, I'm pretty sure you can do the 3.18 ruu on any XL device.

3.17 works too. I'm on Telus 3.17 and have run cm10.1 with 3.4 kernel.
OK guys, thanks. Guess I'll flash it and see how it goes.
Edit: Worked great! Thanks a lot guys!
