Does anyone have a mirror to the HTC Desire S ICS RUU Europe update, since its been taken down from there website, and I have a problem with mine at the minute, that I was hoping the update would fix. I have searched everywhere but can't find it at all. I would expect that there is at least 1 mirror out there, but I honestly can't find anything. Could someone please help me find the link?

Oh holy...... I done it with Firefox and now its there, just realized, everytime I done it in chrome it was resetting the search. Sorry about that man, and thanks a bunch.
Don't know why, there was a post here about it being taken down.
Also just wanted to ask, if I do this, will I still be able to root afterwords if I decide to?
Yes. But the Official ICS was a bit rubbish. You'd be much better off installing a custom ROM to be honest.

OK, thanks, I might try rooting then, just didn't now any good ways of rooting on hboot 2.02.0002, so I might try downgrading to 0.98.0002, because I seen a good video on how to root and get s-off from 0.98.0002 hboot.

WTF HTC?!? seriously, couldnt have packaged that **** together?
either way, im preventing OTA's until #teamwin does their thing
this update will surely UNLOCK BOOTLOADER . GOOD NEWS //
This update has already partially leaked! If you search the Development sub-forum yould find the RUUs of 1.35.xxx.xx. It won't be an S-OFF update.

Your answers can be found in the thread discussing the leaked ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142417
As i understand it, HTC will not unlock bootloaders as standard, but there will be a procedure you have to follow that will allow an unlocked bootloader. I also suspect that you will have to tick a box to agree that by doing so will invalidate your warranty if the problem with your device is caused by third party software. Time will tell.
No..none of this is true...The update is a few bug fixes.
The S-Off will be on the HTC Dev tools site. That's why they're ignoring everyone because it's not going to be in an update. Everyone (basic end users) don't even know what s-off is, so why would they care about it? Get what im saying?

After super-wiping my TMOUS Sensation with mike1986's super-wipe script, I've been unable to flash any TMOUS ROM :\ tried every safe method of formatting my partitions and still can't get a TMOUS ROM to boot past the white HTC splash screen. PLEASE HELP!!
Would I have to install the original TMOUS ROM that came with the phone, and THEN upgrade to the 1.45 ROM? I'm sooo confused and would very much appreciate any insight.

Perhaps a better question would be "which RUU am I looking for?". Which is basically what i asked in the first place. Plus I'm sure somebody has the RUU number memorized anyway.
I'm not asking anybody to do any work for me. Hence "links would be awesome". Meaning, IF he was willing to post links for me I would appreciate it very much. Thanks for taking me out of context.
Now can somebody please tell me which RUU I should be looking for?
Use the latest leaked one, 1.29.531.1
There's talk of the 1.45.531.1 about but I've not seen it as yet

Hi, I have found mentioned on gsmhosting forum about new RUU for ChaCha phone.
RUU_Chacha_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.1_Radio_47.17.35.30 33H_7.48.35.14_2_release_204385_signed.exe
but cannot find any download link, so I'm asking for help to anybody from here.
They got this on some FTP, becouse this is Support FTP Files List [10.08.2011], but don't know nothing more, any help?
ps.
I will still try to find some more - and if I will found, will try to upload on some hosting service.
Do we need to s-off for this rom to work? i am asking this since this is HTC's stock rom right?

I think not if you have unbranded phone. But if you got phone from carrer, you will need to debrand first, and for do this, you will need to have s=off.
Right now still looking for this soft to download, and it is hard to find it...

HTC ChaCha
Hi, I have a UK ChaCha tied to T-Mobile. I want to wipe the phone entirely of all T-Mobile software and return it back to how it came from the factory so it will work on any UK network but specifically O2 for the time being.
I`ve been told to hunt down a "clean unbranded factory rom".
Is this available yet and if so how is it done?
Please could somebody also tell me what S=off or S=On means too.
I build PC`s occasionally so not entirely useless but this is all very new to me.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Andy
is that 2.3.5 ? and do i have to be s-off cause i am s-on
thx in advance i am new

If so (and you're S-ON), don't upgrade, you'll lose the gingerbreak root vulnerability.
I took my HTC One S to the HTC Care shop to flash the Stock ROM. After 3 hours when I returned back the guy told me No cant do with no explanation. He said there was some hardware issue. I had handed over the phone with OEM relocked. After getting it back I restored it back to the backup of I had and looks like as it was when I had given it to them.
I have not faced any issues with the phone, just wanted to update the version from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4. I do not have my stock backup.
What are the known causes a RUU not working? I am planning on getting the RUU from someone on the forum but do want to get the wrong version or something. My specs are in my signature. If someone can tell me what exactly I need to look for when getting an RUU. Also does the HBOOT need to be the same that you own or can be higher to flash?
I am thinking that the idiots at HTC do not have the right ROM and hence asking me to deposit the phone in order to cover their own tracks. But thats just being hopeful. Can anyone help??

There is no S-OFF on HOS. The process for SuperCID is not out for HTC One S (S3). The posts have been quite explicit that the process mentioned will brick this version.

I had a similar problem a couple months ago. I tried almost every RUU available but luckily i managed to find one that worked, its called "OTA_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5-1.78.401.2_release_275773ape8z1mahr0gt8fg". What a mouthful right lol, i'm not 100% sure it'll work for you because you have an S3 chip but it's worth a try. You can find it on filefactory and btw make sure your bootloader is locked.
Hope this helps

Well considering that its rooted and on a custom ROM do I still have the right to demand a replacement. Plus the service center ppl say it will take a month for them to get a verdict back. So was hoping to exhaust all options before taking the final step.

I just don't see how you going to do it if they can't. Try getting them to try again and if they still can't get it to work then have them send it off. Or just not care about it and update to a rom that has 4.0.4.

Did you do it after upgrading your stock to 4.0.4 or before it? Cuz last time I checked you CAN NOT use a custom 4.0.4 based ROM on a 4.0.3 based HOS. There is an HBOOT conflict. Anyways there are practically only 2 ROMs available for the HTC One S (S3). The TD v4 gives me bootloops (tried and failed) and the other is mcOneS3 which I havent tried but have in good faith that I WONT WORK before! reference to post #8
So if you have found a workaround I am all ears, (eyes in this case)!!

Your One S must be having a higher hboot version than their RUU at htc service centre. Downgrade your hboot version to stock for RUU to work properly.

So If I have a RUU with correct CID but a higher HBOOT version I am good to go??
The hboot version of the RUU should be the same or higher than you currently have in order for it to work. The CID should also be the same that is _038 in our case. If you find a suitable RUU please post a link to the upload, we Indians are in a dire need of an RUU.

You seem to think that we're doing this just to pi$$ you off - but we're not. You NEED to read and understand EXACTLY what you are doing, and why, or you will screw up your phone and have an expensive paper-weight which can't be recovered.
You need to remember that most of us first S-Offed our phones before there were software methods, so we had even more to lose if we got it wrong. Understanding what you are doing will make it much better for you, but expecting us to simply repeat what is already out there helps nobody.

I was one of "those" people, i asked stupid questions to begin with. It didn't take me long to realise that research was a lot better way to find out. I've made three posts since i signed up and I'm not really happy with any of them. Ok the xtc clip question some might find useful, but overall i wish I'd read more, not that i didn't read but maybe i should have done more, after i got the htcdev over with, downgrading and s-off was a doddle. But trawling through threads is really the only way to go. I'm just glad i twigged quickly.

Ok, personally i wouldn't flash the ics ruu, it's buggy and causes loads of problems. Get used to flashing custom roms and using adb. Whilst your doing that for a couple of weeks read up on downgrading and s-off. Read all the guides lots, then when it begins to hurt your head, stop for a day or two then read again, that's how i did it six months ago. The way too do anything here is to search and read, search and read and don't rush into anything.
