Yeah me too.
Anyone of you guys is on 3 Australia?
I am tempted not to upgrade so I don't get into trouble rooting.
I wanted to wait to make sure there is root available before upgrading it.
here is a nice (though elaborate) guide to downgrading your rom so you can root it: theunlockr.com/2011/10/25/how-to-downgrade-the-g2-desire-z-desire-hd-and-mytouch-4g-back-to-froyo/
it's not the easiest guide, but it works from my experience.
still nothing happens
tried many tools, seems new HTC official 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 is patched against all available rooting methods, should wait a bit longer for a new tool to root
although there are some "HTC stock 2.3.5" that are rooted, but it requires removing the original os and replacing this one, such as:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235&page=12
if any one finds how this os was rooted plz help us, so we could root our existing os instead of replacing it
Hi all. New to the forum and brand new at rooting android phones. After a lot of reading and searching and trying I managed too achieve root last night on my Desire hd running 2.3.5 using the Ace Advanced Hack Tool. It took a few attempts for the phone to accept the downgrade. I had to run the hack tool several times to achieve this. In the end as the effin manual says I had to turn off all anti virus and close non essential programs. I also removed any anti virus apps from my phone. I don't know if it was coincidence or not but I was about to give up and had unplugged the USB cable and was in the bootloader menu about to reboot when all of a sudden it read the zip file on the SD card and downgraded the ROM. After that ran the Hack tool again and Now rooted, S off and Custom ROM (CM7) installed. One other quick thing, after installing CM7 on boot up it went into a boot loop. After searching found out you have to clear/reset factory settings and clear cache in custom recovery before flashing a new ROM. Hope this helps.
edit - forgot to mention I had the bootloader unlocked from HTCdev site but re locked it just before the downgrade started working.
Hi ALL,
Have you tried The Advanced Ace Hack Kit by attn1?

People it really works flawlessly...; just re-lock your bootloader if unlocked from HTCdev.com and use an empty, clean sd card... andof course read all the manual. Then you can let show begin They did such a BIG AND PERFECT work! i'm Amazed and impressed! thank's a lot people who made this possible.

Root 2.3.3
use The Advanced Ace Hack Kit for rooting your phone
RE: Rooting HTC Desire
Personally, I find SuperOneClick to work very well!
people
this STILL is not working..i am trying to use the AAHK kit
i have read the manual
i am now using a computer that has nothing but winXPpro and the htc drivers installed that came from the AAHK, no anti virus, no anti-malware, no apple sh*t, NOTHING ELSE
all i can think of is that my phone IS running one of the build versions that requires a downgrade as mentioned in the manual (details listed in my original post)
or
i DO have a HTC Dev Bootloader and its not locked as mentioned in the manual
i know nothing about locking or unlocking bootloaders, but Ive been to HTCDev, registered, logged in and tried to follow that process as follows:
i select my phone HTC DESIRE HD* (there is an asterix because "* Indicates HBOOT update required.")
continue through disclaimer and agree etc
download PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe
when i run PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe i get error saying i need to upgrade to 3.13.707.3 (On your phone, go to Menu>Settings>About phone> Software updates> CCheck now.
After you have updated,please run the RUU again to upgrade your HBOOT to unlock
Your phone. We apologize for the inconvenience)
i check for updates and there are no updates available for your phone
this is a staggeringly difficult and im really quite f*cked off i really cant see what im not doing, or, where to go from here
other people in asia seem to be having the issue with this phone, i found this website which google translated and it contains the EXACT steps i have taken please have a look
but of course, no i cant paste url's in here because i havent had 10 posts...honestly wtf
if you care to email me ill send you the link

dear android friends,
I want to reinstall ics on my sensation because of a (software) problem on my phone, the touchscreen doesn't work only when I unlock my phone, so if anyone calls me and the phone unlocks itself the touchscreen works perfectly. I allready tried a hard reset and whiped all of my data.
But I simply can't find how I should reinstall android ics. I downloaded the official update from htcdev.com for my model, I need firmware 3.32.114.11. But it is in a .tar format. I don't know if my sensation can read it.
I have a sensation, t-mobile NL branded, running on 4.0.3
But do I have to root my phone to reinstall android? I cannot find it anywhere, sorry if I didn't search good enough.
But is there anyone who can tell me how to reinstall to a stock firmware? I prefer not to root it or use a custom rom if it is possible
I have a sensation, t-mobileNL branded, running on 4.0.3
Get a RUU for your Provider (doesn't matter which version).
Make your device S-OFF (see Jupuotbear tutorial), flash an ENG-Hboot and execute the exe. Should work, see the tutorials also
Nice! I'm going to try it, but there was some news from htc.
There is a small update coming for the sensation.. So I'm doubting if the update may change something on the touchscreen problem.
But I think that i'm going to try it anyway

Hi,
Everything you need is on THIS THREAD
Update: the first users got this OTA update on their stock, non rooted, untouched HTC One S (S4). Everyone could choose to wait to get the update in the normal way. It will come now or later for all. If you can't wait, you can also choose to aply the full RUU from the RUU thread.
Here is the OTA update: OTA_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.21.401.10-1.78.401.2_release_271130unb1vtlbbuv42jp3.zip (download from HTC server or use this mirror). For now you can't install this update if you don't follow the steps down here.
Wifi issue fixes and new EA apps are part of the update. There is also a Rescue app included.
Required
- SuperCID (some kind of universal carrier ID/ region, named the 'developers region'). Everyone can install SuperCID, if you're on US T-Mobile and even if you're on a Chinese device. And everyone need it for now, even the European users. Ofcourse you can always restore your original cidnumber if you want.
- The stock 1.78 WWE ROM (d-h.st mirror or hotfile.com mirror). Also everyone need this ROM and everyone can install this rom if you have got SuperCID.
- Back-up of your files on computer. This update will format all partitions, even the sd card!
Let's get this on a list
- First you need an unlocked bootloader.
- Then you need root.
- After that you can get SuperCID on your phone (thanks hard5ter for reporting). Some users can start here cause they have already an unlocked bootloader and root.
* If you are not on stock 1.78.401.2, you have to install the RUU 1.78 WWE. Before you can do that you have to relock your bootlader. You will loose root, you will get stock Recovery and above all you got the right stock ROM for the OTA.
* If you are on stock 1.78.401.2 already, you can go to the next step after installing stock Recovery. If you want to keep root while updating to the new Android, use 'root survival mode' in SuperSU Pro or use this free OTA RootKeeper. But you need to install stock Recovery.
- Now your phone is ready, you do have SuperCID, relocked bootloader, stock Recovery and the stock WWE ROM. Time to boot your phone, check for updates and download and install that OTA update to get Android 4.0.4.
New Radio_1.06s.50.02.27_2_10.08.50.04L
- Fastboot method of flashing the new Radio gives a 'signature verify fail' error
- The PJ40IMG.zip method in bootloader will also not install any RADIO update.
- In TWRP Recovery you can also flash RADIO zip files. Dima901 replaced the Radio in one of the zip's there with the new Radio and was able to update his Radio trough TWRP, but for most of us that won't work for some reason. If you got stuck in TWRP keep pressing the power button, you have to swipe the slider to the right of your screen, still keep pressing the power button and your phone will shut down. It looks like that this method is only working for certain ROM users like CM, AOKP and MUI users.
- I updated my RADIO by just upgrading to Android 4.0.4. You can do that in a few minutes. Make a nandroid back-up first and you will be back on your current ROM in less then a hour but with the new RADIO.

Hello,
It looks like some guy received an OTA update to Android 4.0.4 with base version 2.21.401.10. He was on the Ville U WWE (RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2_Radio_0.16.31501 S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258480_signed)
Can't wait until someone share the file name of the OTA, so we can all download it from fotadl.htc.com.
The version number looks strange to me. 2.XX.XXX.XX is what we expect, cause HTC highers the number with every new Android version (we are now on 1.84.XX.XXX.XX), X.XX.401.XX stands for WWE, so that's also what we expect, but X.21.XXX.XX sounds a high number for a first update. But whatever, let's get this thing.
Here is a screenshot of the new version. Thanks for reporting cualla84.
We need a breaking news section of this forum. Nice find.
The requested URL /OTA_Ville_U was not found on this server.

Lol, it was just a link for example. I didn't get my hands on that OTA update, cause we don't know the filename yet. HTC stores al the OTA files on the fotadl.htc.com server, so probably our OTA is already public on that server, but we can't download it as long as we don't know the filename.
Mmm,, ok i now understand. Thanks. Im waiting for it xD
There are some downloads with kernel 3.0.16 on http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads for EU WWE 1.11.401.109 and 1.11.401.101, might be related?
Edit: these seem to be for VilleC2, filenames are villec2-ics-crc-3.0.16-f4c3948.zip and villec2-ics-crc-3.0.16-503c44f.zip so not related to the OTA, also explains the lower version numbers on these perhaps.

I want to know if the manual update works with LOCKED bootloader...
Apologies for any ambiguity in my question. I know a little about what I'm doing, but please assume I'm an absolute noob in any answers you're kind enough to give.
All I want to do is update my developer's device to 4.2.2 sense 5. Official or unofficial, but a complete build and not a 'nightly'.
Device.
HTC One x+. (ENCR2B 1.7 ghz cpu).
Bootloader unlocked
S-off
CID: [11111111]
HBOOT-1.30.000
Android Version: 4.1.1
SW number: 1.14.401.16
A friend has been helping me some otas to put into the root folder:
OTA_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.1-1.14.401.16_release_299714gvfiqff2an7kxpue (Successful)

OTA_ENRC2B_U_JB_50_S_HTC_Europe_2.18.401.2-1.17.401.3_release_3303469me80mqqopa8apjt (FAILED)
I can't copy the last file on to the root. Error message: The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected. (!!??)
Of course I've done a whole lot of unplugging/plugging, restarting, checking drivers and all the usual stuff, but the file won't copy.
My questions are:
Can anyone supply me with a straight-up RUU for 4.2.2 sense 5 for my device?
or
Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong with copying the last OTA file to the device
or
Can anyone supply me with a different OTA to try?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Removing changes to update purchased M9
Hi guys, apologizes in advance for the (potentially) stupid questions. This is the first time I've had to work backwards so to speak...
I purchased a M9 from eBay in the US a few days ago. Everything is working fine, up until I tried to install the lastest software update (1.32.617.30). I get the error "htc system has been remounted r/w reflash the device to re enable ota updates". Digging a little deeper I find the bootloader is locked but it does have S-off. Not finding any evidence of a root but obviously it has been at some point. My question is, is is possible to restore the blocks to original (or force the update through) without any previous backups or even knowing the history of the phone? Would RUU developer edition work without knowing if it came from AT&T/factory unlocked ect?
Some other info if it matters:

Hi.
You can run the RUU. It's unlocked to work on all carriers, so don't worry.
Also, 1.31.617 isn't the latest software update, 2.11.617.15 is.
You can download the official RUU from HTC's US website.
Scroll down to the Manual System Update Instructions and read them. The RUU is at the end of the instructions.
This will return you to stock, and IT WILL also WIPE YOUR PHONE, so backup anything important to you.
