Hello,
I have recently bought from eBay a beautiful new HTC One SV and I wonder why I cannot receive the latest 4.2.2 upgrade through OTA.
I asked the HTC support in UK and they told me the phone is branded Virgin UK and I have to wait for them to release the upgrade. But I read on other post that the upgrade is already available from Virgin mobile.
I tried to unlock the phone, doing several factory reset, changed the sim to a different provider, but no success... Now the phone is re-locked.
This is the current configuration:
sw: 2.14.401.6
CID: HTC__001
Android version: 4.1.2
Can somebody please help me to get the latest 4.2.2 update?
Thanks!
Alberto

Probably a dumb question but have you attempted a manual update check on your phone in 'settings>>system updates>>HTC software update'?

Hi Modding.MyMind,
Thanks for your answer. I have tried yes, several times but no success... It always says your sw is the latest version.
When I switched on the phone the first time, there was a system update of about 34Mb and nothing more.
The sw is still 4.1.2.
You may need to sit and be patience then. Sometimes a new device that has been activated needs to be processed in the system through their database. Not sure how long you have had your device activated though. I would think at most, a week (and that is pushing it lol).

If the update is already available for your device with virgin mobile then I would assume someone has already provided a download link for the ota. However, I don't have it, but I would suggest downloading it if you can find it and attempt that route.

I have activated the phone about 3 weeks ago... Where do you think can I find the right OTA? And how can I install it manually?
Thanks!
Android ruu. Google that. There is a website by that name. Scroll down to K2 and select the link. There you can find OTA's. Though, I do not know if it has the one you need honestly. Also, check out @old.splatterhand index thread. You would need to place it on your internal sdcard and then reboot. If the right one you should get a notification at the top of your phone.

In my opinion, this the available "free" software of an unbranded phone.
Regarding htcdev.com, Virgin mobile Software number should be 2.14.652.6 or 2.14.351.6 (if i'm not totally wrong).

Maybe this OTA might help.It has the same software version as yours.

Hi!
I also though it was unbranded, but I asked the HTC support and after checking the IMEI, they told me is branded Virgin.

Put the update on your device's SD card and flash it from within recovery (TWRP, CWM, possibly stock)
I don't think you can flash OTA zips through custom recovery....
Not unless you know what you are doing when modifying it lol. But lets keep it simple

Fair point. So, with stock recovery installed, we could apply from sdcard or apply from phone storage
Internal sdcard (phone storage)

An OTA is downloaded in the /storage/sdcard0/Download/ directory and once applied it is removed. However, if saved and not applied it will remain there. Anyways, that is the location where it is normally stored when you get that notification (assuming it is the proper OTA).

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------
But I would think that being on the root of the internal sdcard is fine. Though personally have not given that a go for myself so I am only guessimating on that one lol.

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 PM ----------
Actually, now that I think of it.... Stock recovery comes with a prebuilt feature very similar to CWM. So with that said, guess the location wouldnt necessarily matter if applied that way.

Hello, I just got my htc one x at&t so I unlock it and try use my carrier. I fix setting for having internet with my carrier and everything is pretty smooth. The problem is that when I try update software I get:
”error
SERVICE UNAVAILABLE
check for software update under settings
when service is available”
trying to update I go menu->settings->at&t software update->check for updates
The thing is I don’t get anything like you have latest software or something like that.
Searching for answer I saw that many people said that changing sim worked for them…the thing is that I don’t have any other micro-sim (yesterday I change my mini-sim to mini micro-sim and I don’t have any other). So I came up with another idea.. trying to update without any sim in phone…but still I get some message so any idea???
ps: I can not use at&t sim I don’t live in usa just bought it from there.
Ok wow ..I'm going to provide this link for you and hopefully you can use it. No offense but it doesn't sound like you know what you are doing....please becareful with your phone so as not to perma brick it

Thanks for the advice..the thing is that phone is out of box just a day..so everything is stock i have not rooted or change room yet.As far as i know it is only when you have rooted your phone or change room that you must not acceps ota,now that my phone is completely stock there is no problem,am i right??
The link you gave me is the first thing i read before i even reacieve the phone!
The phone bought throught a person wich had it as a upgrade from his carrier so he check it works and sell it,so how i can check for 100% its not root?(Just for the 1% something is wrong).
If you are not in the US, that is probably the reason you cannot download the OTA. You typically need to be in the proper country to get OTAs.

AFAIK, there are only SIMs, Micro-SIMs, and nanoSIMs (Apple properietary). I don't know what you are talking about with mini SIM or mini Micro SIMs.

If you are not on the current AT&T 2.20 firmware (if you are still on 1.73 or 1.85), and have any desire to root and flash custom ROMs, I would suggest not updating by OTA. Instead, root and unlock the bootloader now. 2.20 firmware updates the hboot, which plugs the hole by which kernels and radios can be flashed from recovery.
If you still want the official 2.20 firmware, just go to HTC's website and download the RUU for the AT&T version of the One X (download to your PC, and run it with the phone connected by USB). OTAs don't typically work if you are not in the intended country (USA). RUU will wipe the phone, but in my opinion, this is a cleaner/better install anyway and will cause less issues, which often happen with OTAs.

That's what i was saying about micro mini sim.(pic)
So i end up that i will work my mobile one month to see it runs smooth, i mean no need to use my warranty and then (after my exams) when i have time i will spend one day to read the [index] which you upload..and then i will flash the latest stock rom rooted!
One more question, flashing many roms (i did that one on my previous htc desire bravo) means installing the apps you usually use many times is there a trick to put your apps instant to the new room i mean without instaling them one at a time throught play store??
Thanks a lot!

Interesting, I just looked it up on Wikipedia. I didn't actually didn't know a full sized SIM was about the same size as a credit card. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subscriber_identity_module#Formats
Of course, these haven't been used in a long time, so most people just call a mini-SIM a "SIM".
For practical purposes, GSM phones use either SIM (mini) or Micro-SIMs. With the exception of the latest generation of Apple products, which use nanoSIMs.
If you have a nano-SIM, you can buy an adapter to insert it into your One X.

Titanium Backup, which can be found on the Play Store. It will restore your apps and app data. Highly recommend the paid version, as you can batch restore all your apps after a ROM flash.
Downloading now, I assume this is the same update Europe and everybody else got. Just breaking the news.

Is it the MG1 firmware?
Updated. It is in fact MG1. I don't know if it locks the bootloader though. There is a new "Secure boot status" "type: Samsung" in about device.
Maybe I shouldn't have updated!
Update:
Like the update that has hit other countries before, it adds app2sd support. SEEMS smoother, i. e. no stutter going back to home screen etc. (but is it just a placebo effect?!)

Funny, me too (wrt placebo effect) It does seem to boot up the camera quicker and launch the gallery app better. Rooted to get my multi-window app back and everything is looking good.
I can confirm that Chainfire's CF-Root provides you with root access again after installing this update. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800
Please make sure you thank Chainfire for his effort.
As I use my camera a fair bit, it's great to see that it launches must faster and is far smoother. I can also confirm that you can now move apps to your SD card.

My phone keeps asking me if i want to update but i know i cant due to the bootloader not being stock.

So do you receive 4.2.2 OTA and you're on Boost variant?

You need to accept the update on your phone but cancel it from updating your phone until a later date.
Then you need to take that update and UPLOAD it on to our forum so we can get our hands on it.

Don't know. If it says you have it then it should let you download it. When you accept an ota it gives two options. Either to apply it now or to save it to your device. Can't tell you what is going wrong on your end.
