Now that we have s-off, can we use the roms now or do we have to wait for the verizon ports. I am not sure if our kernel is different then the other carriers.

you must wait for a Verizon version of any custom rom. other carrier/ international roms will not work.

yah, i'm just seeing that.. not really sure how that works if the kernels are different...
Please do NOT flash ANY ROM not specifically in this Verizon thread unless the ROM states that it is working on Verizon..
Even though they are the same phone, the partitions are different.
What this means is you could end up with some serious problems.
For example, you could be flashing the boot.img to the system partition.. not good

Good point. Would you think the work involved in porting other devices ROMs over to the VZW version would be minimal at least?
I wouldn't imagine it's too difficult but why risk it when we'll probably have something legit to flash by mid week?

thats because it is (the Inspire 4G and Telus DHD are the EXACT same device internally, externally, its only a difference of the logo, the telus one uses the HTC logo, while the Inspire 4G uses the AT&T logo on the back.
The higher build Radio from the 2.52 Korean build works amazing with the ril's from this/the 2.43 Telus build (which are also the same btw)

Flashing a stock rom will not remove s-off or eng mode. It's a separate process

If I run this, it will not unroot my device, just install the update and the AT&T bloatware?

As much of a n00b as he is, his Sensation is so much better than ours, since it has what is pretty much a Exynos chipset. I for one, respect that. The phones presence on this forum, not the OP.

Z710T is only for the Chinese market, if I remember correctly.
And the chipset inside is better than the Qualcomm in our Sensation from I read.
I think there is a special Chinese version of Sensation because China uses different mobile standard.
Hey i found a way to root the z710t....
1. there is no other way from HTCdev site, you have to unlock there.
2. there is special Clockworkmod for these model, you have to install this over fastboot, then ypu get the recovery, after you can flash any custom rom.

Yes, I saw that! He he. ^ _^ But you have z710e while I have z710t that's why I thought I cannot do same things as you did to yours. Mine has different chipset than normal Sensation.
If I can do same things as you then I will buy that phone. (You know, Chinese stuff their phones with applications I never use and don't know how to use. More over I used to update stock ROMs - get the best out of the phone.)

I read a Chinese forum (http://bbs.angeeks.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2377547) and guys say no z710e or G14/G18 ROMs will fit z710t. People who did that ended up with bricked phones. There are custom ROMs specifically for z710t in their forum. Hope their ROMs have English menu too. Ha ha.
I have a couple of Desire S's here, one locked to Orange with the awful Orange ROM, the other unlocked with a stock ROM.
My question is this:
Is there a way to take a backup from the stock phone and restore it on the other?
At the moment both phones are S-On and neither is rooted or modified in any way, both are running the updated 2.3.5 roms.
I'm fed up with the rubbish Orange put on the phone, but with the upcoming ICS OTA update due some time this year (maybe) I want to be able to get this when HTC release it, rather than when Orange have butchered it. I'm happy to pay Orange to unlock the phone if needs be, but I'd rather not if it's avoidable . (I'm also looking at going to 3 for the unlimited data so it might get unlocked at some point anyway...)
I've seen some posts saying that once modified the OTA updates are pretty much not going to happen, although was unclear if they meant modified ROMS or just other ROMS from the one originally supplied. I'm fairly happy with the Sense 3.0 update
I have previously rooted my old Hero and flashed Cyanogen on it regularly, but don't want to fiddle too much with my Desire unless I have to.
Any thoughts/suggestions welcomed, but I really don't want to wait until Orange get round to modding ICS once HTC finally release it.
OK, change of plan. Looks like it will be much simpler to simply flash with a generic ROM with 2.3.5 and then do it again later when ICS is out.
Looking at the FileFactory list of RUUs I'm not clear which the best option is... What's the difference between the RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe and the RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe?

You can easily S-OFF them by using Revolutionary (if HBoot is 0.98.000X), most stock ROMs tend to have quite easily hackable bootloaders.

Orange will charge you an arm and a leg. Better is to find an unlock provider online. Googling around or use the giffgaff unlockapaedia.

Yes, stock branded ROMs are distributed by the network. So unless orange can be bothered to re-theme a new OTA update, you won't be getting one I'm afraid if you're on a branded ROM.

Tbh, current ICS roms have camera problems, due to proprietary htc drivers. These probably won't be solved until HTC releases the official ICS patch (or some kind dev ports a sensation ICS driver).
You'll also find that with some of the phones, AOSP and CM7 kernels also have camera problems (it's a bit of a hit and miss really...) if you're happy with Sense interface, try Endymion, Virtuous or SenseMOD.

Make sure you check your phone version when flashing RUUs. Use fastboot getvar all and look at the INFOversion-main and INFOcidnum.
Becareful there, because if you flash the wrong version, you'll get a HTC locked bootloader!
If in doubt, use Goldcard.
Have a rogers one xl unlocked bootloader rooted. Can i install 1.83 then root and debrand with no problems?
Cheers
Where did you get this update from? I just checked mine and it said no available updates.
hes talking about the att update.
no dont install it
Yeah the att one if i install it what will happen i dont see why i cant when att users can install the rogers firmware but that makes no sense why rogers users cant install att firmware? Weird.
you have to be s-off to install other carrier's rom.
it depends on your cid.
I believe rogers cid is
CID-ROGERS001
Either you have your device in s-off mode...
or you need the signature to match I think...
But why can att users use the superpatch to use the rogers rom. Can someone just create a superpatch for rogers users to use the att firmware
Why do you want att so bad? There's nothing in that ruu that benefits you...

Firstly, the superpatch is for the shipping ROM on the AT&T OneX. If you run it on an updated one, it will replace files with older ones and potentially cause problems.
Without being able to safely run the superpatch, you'll be left with many of the deficiencies that AT&T users experience vs. our Rogers phones. Like no LTE toggle, and probably that issue where youtube links don't open in the youtube app.
If, and I mean if ATT ever updates to 4.1 would I be able to load that if I choose or would I
have to re-lock??

as long as you stay on the stock room you should get the OTA update. Issue though is, you might lose root and possibly your unlock

If you're going to root and unlock, you should forget about OTAs. You may get one, but taking it when you're rooted can brick your phone. There's no need to take one anyway, since pre-rooted versions usually show up in the Development section that day.
If your CID is 11111111 and you take the OTA, your phone will most likely brick.. so avoid it
Thanks all... actually went back to CM 10 last night. I had relocked and everything hoping for an update someday but I couldn't help it and had to go back to Cm. Battery life seems much better on the latest nightly compared to the stable version.

If a rooted / hboot 1.14 bootloader unlocked phone with super CID is unable to take an OTA without bricking, how does one get a new radio, wifi firmware, etc.? Please don't say downgrading hboot, because I am already familiar with that somewhat dangerous approach. Others are suggesting that if one's bootloader is relocked and a stock ruu flashed, OTAs are safe. Is this not true?

I bricked after relocking and running ruu but to be fair I downgraded my hboot to 1.09 and am not sure if that had anything to do with it.. good luck..dunno why you would want the ota anyway.
It is not that I necessarily want the OTA. I am concerned that an important radio update will come along, or something else that requires a full ruu, and I will be SOL. This HTC thing is driving me crazy - my Atrix was so easy to work with. I have yet to see a jb ROM that was 100% stable for 100% of people, so not having the option of using a stock ruu if it is available scares me.

I have noticed that typically when things are not stable right away for me it was a bad download or just a bad flash. A stock based ROM like viper has always been stable for me and am currently using paranoid android also perfectly stable. In any case, once the source for the ota is released devs will most likely use that as a base for their next upgrades so I really wouldn't worry about it.

My CID is 11111111 and I have taken many OTA's. I have switched and changed ROM's and reRUU'ed many times. From Hong Kong to German to Telstra. Taking OTA's all over the place. I would say my phone has at least done 8 official HTC OTA's.
Not once has it bricked.
Is it some check AT&T ROM's do?
Personally I have found unlocked bootloader and supercid do not effect an OTA. Modifications to /system are more likely to be troublesome. They are likely to be lost or could even make the update fail.
See, this is exactly why I can't necessarily trust much of what I hear about the HOX. I wish the official resources thread would answer this, and the answer woud be provided by experienced HOX devs.

Wow - you guys are so helpful. What exactly is my type? Someone who knows enough about hardware to believe that there is more than just front end changes included in some OTA/RUU updates? Turge had to include a wifi update to make Viper stable for some people. I am sure you two knew exactly what the problem was as soon as the ROM came out, including all of the necessary changes, the partitions involved, etc. You've pretty much just proved you are idiots if you believe that there is nothing else included in an RUU other than system and hboot updates.
Oh, and thanks for making me miss the Atrix forum some more. The people were actually nice there. I didn't realize that I should check out the XDA forums before buying a phone - the Nexus folks can't be any worse than you two.

Thank you for giving me a good laugh... The forums being kind and your intelligence level are directly proportional...because you're a stuck up noob you are getting the treatment you deserve...and your type is for the iPhone or better yet a flip phone from a couple years back you won't have to worry about software changes on that...I'm still kind curious what you're trying to get at? I'm a bit confused how you're comparing hardware and ruu and ota
Okay, really not sure how I am a stuck up noob. Or unintelligent, as I am perfectly capable of reading lots of threads where people who seem to know what they are talking about argue over one's ability to go back to stock using a RUU. I was merely looking for confirmation from more than one person that I could go back to stock using a RUU and then apply the OTA if necessary. My point was simply that if something came out that was not possible to implement via a ROM - i.e. a radio update, I wanted the ability to flash it. Without downgrading hboot, it appears that anyone with hboot 1.14 is STUCK WITH THEIR PRESENT RADIO. There is conflicting info out there regarding one's ability to go back to stock using an RUU and then apply the OTA in the future, and I was merely trying to confirm that this was possible. If you look in this thread, you will see one person say it is perfectly safe, and another that it will brick the phone. Care to decide who is right? I generally like to get a few opinions before I task a risk, but apparently you don't get that. It is a perfectly reasonable question.
Here's a straight answer.... That's a bit risky going back to stock through ruu than applying an ota I've seen many people brick that way idk if it's just because the cid is 11111111 or whatever but there's something in the system that the ota doesn't like and than rejects..though I do not see the point of doing an ota esepcially many involve huge security updates ie hboot as you stated which will probably result in no root. . I can confidently assure you att will bring out a new nazi hboot out with the jb update too...so my advice would be to stick to non stock and enjoy
Thanks - I appreciate the response. Still a bit concerned about being stuck on my present radio, but perhaps that will get resolved in the future. Have a great weekend.
I'm sire your aware but you can downgrade hboot
Thanks, yes. I've read the entire downgrade thread a few times. It appears that more than one person has bricked their phone, and that isn't a risk I can take right now.
