What is the latest official update for this handset please? I'm after updating it as I've had the phone for nearly a year.
The phone is unbranded and unlocked.

The latest official RUUs from other carriers typically contain hboot 2.15. I would suggest MaximusHD which is basically an unofficially released "stock" ROM if you prefer the Sense UI, otherwise, I would suggest Cyanogenmod 11 for a more vanilla android experience. You can find these ROMs in the development section.
Unfortunately since your device is a VilleC2, you're pretty much limited to what's in the C2 section. You CANNOT flash MaximusHD or the official version of CM11 since they are designed for the Ville. Incompatible processor types.
Look here for RUU files.

So, if I'm not wrong, there are NO RUUs for JB version of unbranded C2? Do I need to s-off if I'm planning to return my phone to stock?

If you're not S-OFF, you need to find the one for your specific hboot, radio version, region and carrier. I see a couple JB ones there, but that doesn't matter so much as the other thing I listed.
My apologies for giving you erroneous info. I did not clue in that yours is a C2. Obviously I need to pay more attention to detail.

i'm in o2 uk
my current rom is 2.3.3 version 1.34.2061
when i tried check for updates just got information that phone is up to date.
can someone confirm what is actually highest (original stock) rom version?
few months ago i tried flash custom rom, but i was not happy with them and i did rollback to original. maybe i didn't everything correct and this is a reason of lack updates

Did you super cid? I believe doing so would keep carrier updates from being sent to your device.
ok, thanks pal
maybe you know, where can i find newest official htc rom?
i'll try supercid and htc rom after that

Sorry... I think you misunderstood me. I was asking if you were already super cid'ed. Because if you were, that would explain why you were not receiving system updates from your carrier.
Setting your CID to super CID will not help you in this matter.
Ok, now undersdand.
I'm not sure did i replace cid or not.
How to check my current cid?
And finally how to rollback original cid. I'm in o2 uk

Here is how I know to check the CID on your device (and a lot of other details):
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/cmdline
That should result in a lot of text on your terminal. You want to find the value that follows: "androidboot.cid="
If you are super CID, it will be a bunch of ones (like 1111111) and nothing else.
I'll get back to you on the thread for a list of valid CIDs.
Thanks a lot.

Here is the thread that provides the most help for what you're trying to accomplish (at least from what I assume).
In it there is a mention of another thread where CIDs are being collected.
hth...
i can confirm that i had cid 1111111 in my phone.
i changed it first time for valid o2 cid but still not got any updates, then replaced for htc cid but still any updates got.
btw i'm sure, htc has released 2.3.4 for my device, and i'm stuck by 2.3.3
ok, last question
where can i find not branded, latest original htc rom?

I think this is the best there is for finding stock ROMs.
There is a FileFactory link in the 1st post (or right here) for a grip of RUU files. Those will contain the original distributions from the various carriers.
I wish I was able to point you to the correct one, but I really have no idea.
Happy New Year!
I've currently got Hboot version 1.27.1100 but i see that other people have 1.27.1111. what is the difference between these two versions? could someone fill me in on the details about these versions and possible others?
Nobody has any details on this devices HBoot version history?

Hi,
RUU must match cid and version-main.
Please use this:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
Post here the result.
Are you s-off?

in a quick search i have found only gb ruu.exe
but while you are on S-ON you can't downgrade
i think it doesn't exist one for ics
you can do this
s-off the device
supercid
install the gb ruu
then do the official update from phone info

How can i S-Off. i m not on stock Rom.
following is the requirement of Juopunutbear S-OFF method.
2. Be on the Stock RUU. No other ROMs are supported, Fresh ROM will not work regardless of what you have read elsewhere.
thats why i was searching for my stock ics rom. i have tried diffrent RUU but no success..
can i skip this step?

flash it from recovery
i suggest to use 4ext recovery and before flashing the rom enable smartflash from it
use the one in first post
http://bugsylawson.com/files/category/88-pyramid/
You made a little mistake, it is 911 (not 901), because the CID x.xx.911.x - SK Telecom (South Korea)
RUU_Pyramid_SKT_KR_1.46.911.4 is the only one I have found at Persian hTC
Unfortunately BugsyLawson has stopped working, and I do not expect it to come back.

You have a Evita_UTL. No hboot 2.15 is known to exist for your device.
This forum does not really cover you device, XDA does not have a forum for your device as it only seems to be sold in the Middle East.
Any attempt to flash Evita_UL binaries to your Evita_UTL would be an extremely risky process as these devices are unlikely to be hardware identical.
I agree. The only attempt I've seen at flashing firmware/binaries from the standard Evita to the middle eastern variant has resulted in a brick. Long story short, don't do it.

hi every body.
how about to flash hboot 2.18?
is it brick my device too or we can flash this one??
No, none of the standard Evita firmware packages or hboots are compatible.

You can't flash Evita ul firmware. We have said this over and over and over already.
You will need to ask HTC in the middle east regarding any info for updates to your device. Rogers and telus in north america have not received the sense 5 update either and probably won't ever get it now.

I've already informed you on at least one occasion that no firmware from the Evita UL is compatible with your variant (Evita UTL). That simply is not going to change, unfortunate as it is.

Hey guys,
Here's the situation, I have a 128GB/6GB model on Euro FW '401'. Mine is the DUAL SIM DUGL model.... I am hoping to convert to UHL.
I know there is no 'S-Off' available yet... although Sunshine team are looking into a release as beaups has it working on his device. Quote from jcase in Sunshine Thread.
Anyway, I have 'trusted reboot' option and I can change CID and MID as required.
Trying to get everyone ready for when we do have s-off lol.
I REALLY DON'T WANT A BRICK THOUGH, LOL
Anyway, I have done the 'leg work' and extracted and compared MANY RUUs to find difference in the files (main one to look at being bootloader (abl))
Any thoughts?
@Kisakuku you seem to be on to it with this stuff + only S-Off model I know of round here
Please find Google Sheet where I have compared MD5s of the extracted files (from RUUs) and colour coded
Main Idea would be to get to UHL 401 and from there I could get to US 617.
To me it looks pretty safe, especially as all the ABLs (new bootloader) are the same across all variants, incl JAPAN and CHINA.
I.e even if device didn't boot then we could still get to bootloader to flash something else

Thanks in advance to all.
On a side note: did HTC turn off OTA for Unlocked bootloader (/with s-on) as ive had M7->10 and have always been able to get OTAs. i.e download

any thoughts anyone?
Hi everyone,
I have a DualSIM U11 with CID HTC_A07 and there is no updates in sight, while the HTC_001 is on Oreo already. Since we now have the S-OFF from Sunshine, would the OP's idea work? Can I change the MID and CID so that I have the HTC_001 European UHL version, to get all the updates first? (UHL because I don't use the second SIM slot and the little number 1 by the signal icon is kinda triggering my OCD. )
The european version's Oreo update isn't available yet and was delayed due to some "complexities".
If you want Oreo now, you should choose TW or US CIDs…*or install a custom ROM.

Nope. Not true. Cid HTC_001 (401) is not on Oreo. BS_001 (617) IS on oreo. Eu wwe is still waiting.
Yes changing the cid works but you might want to wait as BS_001 is htc's Guinea pig. HTC_001 won't be getting oreo before February, or at least I highly doubt it.
The problem solved itself - HTC released the update for EMEA. So thanks for the input.
I couldn't install a custom ROM as I didn't have the firmware for Oreo. I'm not S-OFFed.

Hi, did you manage to get the "cross-flash" done? (Dugl to uhl)
I am thinking about to do the other direction at the moment!
I have U11 eur ocean uhl and the question is if there is the posibility to cross-flash to eur ocean dugl?
Is the second sim slot only deactivated by software, or isn´t it present on the Hardware?
At the moment I use a stock system image from a dugl on my uhl with the dual sim manager, which only finds Sim 1 even with 2 Simcards in my U11, but I cannot flash a firmware for dugl because I am not S-OFF....so, the second sim slot is not working at this moment, hopefully that it is only software related!?
Do you have some information about this?
Thanks and Greets
