Database Info

I would like to upgrade my 32A sense UI'ed Magic.. But I'm lost.

Ok last summer, I bought a Magic and have it upgraded to HTC sense interface.
I forgot how I did that and what I should do next.
In fastboot, what I see is:
--------------------------------------------------------
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.07.29
And Clear data, Yes/No option. That's ALL about the fastboot.
--------------------------------------------------------
In Settings, it shows:
--------------------------------------------------------
* Firmware version: 1.5
* Baseband version: 63.18.55.06HU_6.35.07.29
* Kernel version: 2.6.27-5469d459 [email protected] #901
* Build number: 3.03.707.5 CL#75968 release-keys
--------------------------------------------------------
What I know:
* The Magic was upgraded by myself more than half a year ago, I forgot how I did that already
* Recently I have a new Nexus One and had it unlocked, rooted, RA-nexus-v1.5.3, and upgraded it with CyanMOD 5.0 Beta 5 (newest)
--------------------------------------------------------
Now what I want is:
* Android 1.6 or higher (2.0 or even 2.1 is preferred)
* to get it even faster
* HTC sense UI is preferred (esp its smart dialer)
* the system has to be very stable
* more ROM/RAM can be used, if possible
---------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone please tell me what I should do now?
Thank you very much for your help...!

Looks like you updated using the official update utility. If so, you are stuck for now.
edit - But you say you did it more than half a year ago? The official update only came out in the last few weeks...

The Hong Kong Sense UI update many people used was released mid-November. Not half a year ago, yes, but still.

1.76.0007 is a perfected spl but you can get rid of it. Where is your phone from? If it's from Europe then run this RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625108, it contains a modified SU binary that can let you flash a new recovery and engineering spl found here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239. Follow the instructions posted by this member, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239, and then follow the take me back steps in cursordroid's thread because most Eclair ROMs use the old radio and spl ,but there is one or two that work with new radio. If you're phone isn't from Europe, run the RUU find the rom.zip temporary folder (search the forums), flash it with a goldcard (again search the forums) and follow all the instructions after flashing the ROM. Good luck.

Thanks guys. Yes I'm in Hong Kong. I'm not sure whether the phone is from Singapore or Europe. I'll need to check it out with the method mentioned in the reply above.
Just a quick question, would it make a huge improvement in speed after I got the phone further upgraded? If not, maybe i'd just keep it as it is now...
Thanks again.

Well, the stock Sense UI rom is slower than Cursorsense (modded Sense ROM), but I don't know how much faster the android 1.6,2.01,2.1 ROMs are, but most likely all of them are faster.

Newst Android Version for the ChaCha?

Hi Guys,
as you see in the topic, i want to know which is the newest Version of Android for the HTC ChaCha.

Is there any further Update like Android 3.x or 4.x?
Thanks
Greetz
Seb.

Sent from my HTC A810e

2.3.7
the newest one is 2.3.7 from cm7 for chacha

Sense??
Hey, guys
has anyone come across a sense rom for the Chacha which has at least Android 2.3.4?
My brother is unsatisfied with his phone but does not what to miss the sense features.
thanks for any hint

Newst Android Version for the ChaCha is 2.3.5 (stock rom EU). build 1.52

Hi,
got my ChaCha yesterday and i checked all the important things out...
so here are my infos:
S-On
Android 2.3.3
HTC Sense 2.1
Software 1.19.206.1
HBOOT 1.04.000
MICROP-0557
RADIO-7.47.35.17
Brand: o2_uk (important?)
OTA Update sais, there is nothing new ...
i'm not sure, if this is the latest Stock-ROM ... i don't think so ... is there any possibility to update to a newer *stock* rom?
# edit #
now i downloaded the updates from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255107
Stock ROMs 1.18 Europe and 1.33 Europe: http://www.swtesting.ro/alex/downloads/
The new OTA update 1.33 to 1.52 is also there.
but i'm not quite sure what to do ... (my first android phone!)
# edit 2 #
not i tries the RUU Updater "RUU_Chacha_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.1_Radio_47.17.35.3033H_7.48.35.14_2_release_204385_signed.exe" but it didn't work ... got an Error Code 131 i think .... something didn't match ... "wrong ruu updater" or something ... don't know what to do, to get a newer Firmware now?!

With s-on all you can do is to update your rom to 1.33
If you are windows user - it's quiet easy. You have to prepare gold card. You'll find info on xda and google how to do that. Than just run RUU, and software should be updated in a while. Then you can get TempRoot. What it does and more importantly what it does NOT is all written in TempRoot topic.
If you want to install higher updates/custom roms and use Apps2SD (I'm sure you would like to do that, as after some days of using stock chacha you'll run out of mem), you will have to get s-off.
By now the only possibility is to use XTC-clip. You can either buy one or find phone service that has it and will do it for you for some small charge. Here in Poland it was 10E for me. When you get s-off you can install CWM recovery, and then do anything you like. You can install CM7, other roms, gain permroot etc etc
Hope I helped

Thank you.
i used "GoldCard Tool 0.0.5" and i think it will work now ... it's updating at the moment ...
but how can i install the OTA Air Update from 1.33 to 1.52?
i downloaded the zip file from the "everything for chacha thread", renamed it to PH06IMG.zip and put it in the root-folder and launched the bootloader but nothing happend ...?!
#edit 2#
i tried to rename it to update.zip and use the "recovery" tool and press vol-up and home at the screen with the red "!"
i get to a blue screen with yellow text and i choose "apply update from sd.card" but then i get "invalid operation" and the phone reboots ...
and i get the message: E: can't open /cache/recovery/command ??
i tried all options in the recovery-menu and i don't know how to go on?!
# edit 3#
well i think i understood ... i have to get s-off to continue to 1.52 right?

In German, how much to S-Off chacha?

We have a german Android-Discussion Board where peoeple offer it for free or up to about 10 EUR (about 14-15 USD) but there are no xtc clip owners in my area so i have to send it via mail to the xtc owner and let them do the work and they send it back to me

OTA Update to Android 4.0.4 for S4 is Out!

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.

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.

[Q] Wifi and Bluetooth and battery problem

Hi there,
I have a couple of problems with my htc desire S:
1. The wifi won't work -> I get a message: "unable to scan for wifi networks
Ï did many factory resets, one time it did work, until i walked out of reach, the phone crashed
2. The bluetooth wont work
My old nokia can find it when i turned bluetooth on, but it can't connect
when im looking in "hardware information" it tells me for wifi and bluetooth adress: unavailible
3. The desire S turns off when i leave it with a full battery after a few hours.
to start it up again I need to plug it in the charger and charge it for one minute (after 5 minutes, its full again)
First, I updated the htc, but the problems where still there...
after that I tried the following things:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
that worked, I used flashed this rom couple of times:
Nik_Project_X_v4.1_By_Nikhil007_DesireS -> won't change anything about the problems
I currently use this rom: HTC_EUROPE_2.10.401.9_DEODEXED_PREROOTED -> won't change anything about the problems
So I thougt, maybe it's the radio... In the boot menu it says: "S-ON" and Hboot2.00.002 so i tried to downgrade it, to unlock the NAND via:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331
but I keep getting the message from the RUU
"image fail [155]"
try the right RUU version... I tried this versions:

Am I doing this in the right order, or do I need to do something else?
thanks in advance!

3 options:
1. Follow the downgrade guide by making the phone "think" that your software version is lower than the actual one (can be done through ADB utility and the "misc_version" command in the console (if you are on Windows) or through Termina (if you are on Linux or MacOS), which will allow you to downgrade through the RUU file, and then upgrade to latest version by using OTA updates
2. Gain S-OFF on the current software, and then try to flash newer and newer radios one at a time, until the problem is resolved
3. Something inside the phone itself broke/fried, and you can only hope that service center will help you with repairing your DS

Well, I was able to "downgrade" to:
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed
but I still got HBoot-2.00.0002, so I can't gain S-off.
so I tried:
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed
what resulted in the same result.
Are there somt thing's I forget?
(Radio is also still the same version...)

I've update'd the htc to ics with the ruu
I got a WIFI MAC adress now, it found my network once, but after it did it once, it still does not work, same for the BT..
so it does work but it also does not...

[Q] HTC Flyer 4G P515E - install US stock ROM

I searched and found similar posts on xda-developers, but nothing actually helped me. So, please help.
my tablet isn't working properly, it is really out of order, some system files are broken and deleted, so, actually, I can't turn on the tablet.
And the worse part is that maybe the bootloader is not working properly too.
I have this Android device:
HTC Flyer 4G P515E 32GB (Korean model, made in Taiwan)
IMEI: 356439040072845
S / N: HT16STM02781
P / N: 99HNF003 - 00
Here is the photo of the box:
imgur.com/Z5fS349.jpg
Well, yes, this is Korean model, but I want to install official US stock ROM. Flyer US stock ROM would be great, but if it is not accessible, only WiFi US stock ROM would be good too.
This is the bootloader info:
Unlocked
S-ON
HBOOT - 1.14.0008
RADIO - 3822.11.08.07_M
Date: March 19, 2012, 19:51:31
Here is the photo of the bootloader:
imgur.com/wqAFTMG.jpg
Well, when I press "RECOVERY" (in the bootloader menu), the HTC logo comes out and then the screen just freezes, and nothing more.
when I press "RESET" (in the bootloader menu), actualy still nothing happens.
I just want to remove old ROM (Korean) and install US stock ROM, nothing more. please help, please. I am not interesed in custom ROMs, I just want US stock ROM.

And the tablet is fully charged.
