[Q] Ice Cream on Desire S?

I heard that android 4 has been released,anyone knows if we can update our devices? (and how?)
we will be able to upgrade, given 2 scenarios: htc makes an official update - wouldn't count on it, at least not if you not intend to be 150 years old; someone ports the software from a nexus. most probably you'll see it as CM8. but first google needs to release it, so far only some googlers have access to it, but at least it works on nexus s phones already, hence i gve cyanogenmod the best chances to come up with it first

No, not yet. There are currently no ROMs available out in the open with ICS. The first one to come out will be on the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
Here, Read this.
CM8 was for honeycomb but that was only for tablets and apparently not released by google. Ive read that ICS will be released and will be ported and released as CM9.
Unknown I guess is whether there will be a stable release for desire s...

Pretty much a given that we will get it, but it will have to go through Samsung first (and a carrier/network provider if your device is a variant). Although it could drop anytime, it doesn't appear to actually be rolling out just yet for the Nexus 5, if you check the forum there is a thread full of anxious users waiting. Overall as much as updates are always good, the majority of changes seem to be fixes for the Nexus 5, so don't expect a big change.

Yes May be there will not be a big change but every good change has value either big or small.

Of course, I will still be looking out for it and updating when I can.
Just hoping that Samsung includes a fix for the GPS issue with Glonass satellites that seems to affect users in the UK.
Maybe we get Samsung knox 2.0

Well, that would be a blessing, wouldn't it
If experience had taught us anything, it is that Samsung will take it's sweet time before releasing a 4.4.3 update, and it will still be buggy like S***
:silly:

Android m question

Has anybody gotten the update to android 6.0 aka android m yet? If not do you know when we will get it?
No sprint users have gotten marshmallow yet. No one knows the date, it was leaked to becoming in december, that got pushed back to january 2016, but really no one knows for sure.
Ok thanks for the info
Eta is first quarter. Could be January or several months away. We won't know until it gets here.
I thinking it has to be releases to note 5 directly first, then sprint will get it and test it. I could be wrong though.

Android O

Does anyone have any idea when it will start getting pushed out? I read online Samsung is notorious for being slow on updates but have yet to experience this.

Requesting iPhone 5S 10.3.3 signed ipsw

Hi guys.
I know my question might sound dumb, but if some one could help me out it would be really helpful. So I'll explain my situation right now...
I purchased this iPhone 5s from Amazon and the seller was not an official retailer, instead this guy was selling unlocked US variant of iPhone 5s 16gb (at least this is what they said on Amazon site). And till 10.3.3 I had no notable issues, but ever since I jumped to iOS 11 (not BETA) my device started heating up & battery drain was immense. So I felt maybe I should do a factory reset, and I did so, then it turns out that, my device won't activate. I searched everywhere and couldn't find a solution for it and even if there is, then this SHSH blobs come into picture, which I wasn't aware of until I got this issue. Hence I do not have SHSH blobs for my device and Apple stopped signing iOS 11.3 and below versions. And activation through iTunes is saying that it's not able to obtain activation information from the device.
But then I stumbled upon a post where some guy mentioned that refurbished device cannot be activated starting from iOS 11. So I need someone's help, someone who has a signed iOS 10.3.3 update downloaded during the time when Apple was still signing them. I'm not sure if this would work, but I wish someone could share it with me. If anyone is having a copy of it kindly help me out...
These are my device details:
Model: A1533
Current firmware: iOS 11.3.1 (GSM)
Internal: 16gb
Thanks in advance.
