So I got a notification that my system has an update, more specifically System Upgrade 1.84.502.11. Is this something we can install on our rooted and rommed phones? and what would the process be? Or do we just have to wait for new ROMs to come out with the update built into it?

By now...all living ROM's have the updates included in one form, fashion or another.

Anyone else seeing this? I'm rooted so I can't run it yet but it looks pretty similar to the latest software version.
Hmmm. I'm using the latest trick, which is based on build 2.35.531.7.
Probably minor fix? Far out hopeful wish: It's the updated stock camera that's easier to switch between front and back cameras that the One X got. But most likely probably indubitubly not.

Just installed it on my wife's phone. I honestly don't see a difference. Still 4.04 and sense 4.1. Camera seems to be the same too.
Ugh, big fixes. So disappointing.
Ota 1.84-2.35.531.10

i see the update on my phone as well. im rooted so i guess i will wait to hear what the fixes include before installing
Same features just bug fixes
Same here installed the minor update nothing much to expect. Hopefully we should have Jelly Bean "soon".

Any way to know what fixes? I wish they'd give us Sense 4.5 to play with while waiting til next year for JB. (My assumption. I never expected JB to roll out for the One X and S simultaneously.)
I am now installing. It stated overall system performance improvements and stability.
EDIT: DON'T FORGET TO USE VOODOO OTA ROOT KEEPER BEFORE DOING UPDATE!
EDIT 2:Congrats, your phone is now updated to version 2.35.531.10710rd
EDIT 3: Those looking for love for tethering when the screen goes off, guess what? Still no love, damn!

Did it update your H-boot, and Root Keeper worked? Thanks!
Edit: Never mind pulled apart the update provided above and there is a firmware update in it with HBoot 1.14.0005

Root keeper worked for me.
Has anyone noticed after the ota that people can't hear you during a call? Seems to be an issue with mine. It did however get left outside last night and was super humid. Any way to check for water damage?
When I use voice to speech it works fine so shouldn't it be the same on call considering it is the same microphone?
Cheers

After I download the update and select to install now, it reboots into twrp recovery and then I select the update file but when I try to flash it, it fails. I then reboot and as soon as it restarts it asks me to either install now or later. If I select Install now the previous steps occur again. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

You have to be on the stock recovery, not a custom one.

most likely the bug fixes are to make things run smoother like changes in boot where stuff sometimes do not come on such as the auto rotate.
yes odd static during call but smoother overall
A lot of people lost 4g connectivity when they updated to 4.04, such as myself, so I'm back to Leedroid 4.03. Hopefully this fixes it for those of us.
I updated my One S with the OTA. All seems good to me (I am on stock and haven't tampered with this phone yet).
Anyone has any idea if this OTA is updating the hboot version? If it is updating the hboot version, this might be for JB update. If not, ignore this comment.

Found this at the bottom of first page.

If you have .7 installed you cannot install this update. They're the same thing it seems. And it's rolling out til the 30th. JB def not coming this year.
If anyone has some time that took the update and could provide a TWRP nandroid it would be much appreciated.
I'm using the default ROM for my One X and I'd like to update it (I haven't since I got it 6 month ago); do I need to re-lock the bootloader and unroot it before I can use the OTA update? Also it's been a while since I even fiddled with my phones software so I forgot anything else I may have done, is there a way I can check to see what else has been done and if it's safe to update it?
Currently I have:
Android Version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense Version: 4.0
Software Number: 1.73.631.1
HTC SDK API Level: 4.11
HTC Extension Version: HTCExtension_403_1_HA_4
What firmware are u on currently for starters

Your phone should be factory default before performing OTA updates or results may be unexpected.
Most OTA updates are patch file based and require the files to be exactly what is expected.
There have been known issues with root being detected and the OTA failing.
Rooted phones progressing with an update but root lost after the update.
System files being modified and the OTA failing.
Recovery must be factory; not TWRP or CWM.
CID and MID must suit OTA.
The only modification I would consider safe through all OTA's so far has been SuperCID.
If you have any interest in rooting and flashing custom ROMs, I would suggest rooting and unlocking the bootloader now, while you are on 1.73, and not updating via OTA. The latest 2.20 update will also update your hboot, which plugs the holes by which kernels and radios can be flashed from recovery.
Since you're with att you can expect the jelly bean update any time from now till the end of the world which isn't fun waiting for .. I'd suggest if you were rooted download goo manager flash twrp....than flash a solid ics Rom if your prefer ice sense or you can go venture into the jb realms

Agree. If you are already BL unlocked and rooted, why go through the hassle of relocking the BL and returning to stock, just to wait for the OTA?
Just flash a JB ROM, as there are already stock and custom JB ROMs posted in Development.
Plus, until the OTA actually hits, we don't know if it will even be rootable. They have plugged the existing root exploits with every successive AT&T OTA for this phone so far. No reason to think any different for the JB update.
Just flash a JB ROM and stay rooted.
Ya I really like viper xl v3 . Just apply fix listed on op and you should be good to go

Stock OTA is not WORTH IT IMO, been there
Reselling the phone is probably the only reason i'd revert to stock.
Ok, so I tried to flash Android Revolution HD 18.0 instead of going back to stock. I used TWRP, but it said "unable to read zip file" and the flash failed, now my phone won't start up it just shows the HTC screen with "this build is for development purposes..." and continuously turns on and off.

Stick to the ROM's in our forum, I never heard of anything like that ROM for our phone sorry. Lucky you didn't brick it
O damn I feel very stupid now...
Can someone recommend me a JB ROM?
Also how would I even install one now? The AR HD one was the only ROM I had on my SD card
Edit: I figured out the Mount function in TWRP, so I know how to add new ROMs now

I'm just going to try a couple like wrecker suggested now that I've figured out how to flash ROM's properly
Thanks for your guys' helps
Is there a way to back up my apps/texts and stuff when flashing ROM's? I totally forgot about that and lost all of it, I didn't have anything particularly important, but it'd be a hassle to redownload everything everytime. I had Titanium Backup, but that's not a recovery for if you reflash right?

Funny that you bring titanium up...titanium helps you back up apps it also backs up your app data...and for sms just download something from the market here's one download the app super backup and you can backup your sms
So I installed Cyanogen 10.0.0 but it didn't come with Google Play so I installed Gapps as well; now I keep getting the "Android Keyboard ASOP has stopped working" and I can't do anything. I've tried multiple versions of Gapps but they all give the error. I've also tried installing a keyboard apk on it's own but I am still unable to type anything.
Edit: Also when I downloaded Google Play as an apk separately it would crash immediately, but when I installed it from Gapps it was ok.

You did a full wipe before hand right?
I did the factory, system, cache and dalvik cache wipes

Hi, as the title states, yesterday I received a notification from Verizon that a new update is ready to be installed. I can only defer it for 5 days, which I did. I'm running TouchWiz Eclipse ROM 1.0. I went ahead and renamed SMD.apk to SMD.bak, because I read somewhere that's what I needed to do to prevent Verizon from pushing updates.
What I wanted to do is confirm that what I did would work (as in prevent Verizon from updating my awesome ROM and thus bricking my device). Also, I think the update is already downloaded and just ready to be installed. Will that affect anything? Would renaming SMD.apk still prevent it from being installed, or is that only to prevent it from being downloaded?? Please halp!!
Cheers,
ED

Best way to check is to go into Settings/About Phone/Software Update. If it force closes then you're all set. Renaming or uninstalling "smd 1.0" causes the phone to not actively poll for future OTAs from that moment on. Using a file explorer, check in /cache and delete the update.zip for VRBMF1 cuz you deferred the OTA which means it saved to your phone already.
I checked Settings>About device but there's no Check for upgrade option. I assume it was taken out as part of the ROM. I went ahead and deleted some sort of fupgrade in /cache. Then went and wiped cache in recovery and fixed permissions just to top it off. I think I'm good!! Thanks

There is a touchwiz version, it just wasn't updated in awhile and it's pretty buried in the development section.

I recently flashed my HTC One M8 with [ROM][4/13/14] GPE for M8VZW. Curently the rom is a little laggy and the camera is really slow. How will I be able to update the rom? Will it update OTA? Any idea when the lag issues will be fixed?

It's all on the ROM developers... I would suggest you post this question in that ROM's thread for best response. Custom ROMs will not update "OTA" since you have a custom recovery on your phone. You will have to rely on the Devs to provide new ROM versions with the OTA updates "embedded" in them. (Though, I think if there is a Firmware update, you can manually apply it once someone posts a process for doing so on S-Off/Unlocked M8's)

you should not have to if youre just flashing a newer version over the same ROM but just an older version, UNLESS the dev says to wipe, in which case you will have to go through setup all over again.

Ideally, it's always better to do a clean install when you flash any ROM, just to prevent any possible issues from coming up. However, it's not always necessary when you're just flashing an update to a ROM you're already running. Though if the update includes a new version of Android, it's usually highly recommended to do a clean install. And if you're running one ROM and decide to switch to another, a clean install is recommended again, if not absolutely necessary.
I would recommend checking out Titanium Backup or Helium. They're both app backup solutions (if you decide you want to start checking out different ROM's more often, you'll be very happy you have this) that will let you restore your apps and app settings after a clean flash/wipe.

As Abe and sfreemanoh have already stated, that too is up to the Developer. If you are changing ROMs (Example: Have Stock ROM that's S-Off/Rooted and decide to flash ViperOneM8), you really need to Factory Reset your phone. Titanium, Helium, or MyBackup are three ways to save your Application/System data before your wipe.
If you are merely updating your current ROM version (Example: ViperOneM8 v1.0 to v1.5), the Developer should always post what needs to happen. In many cases, if there are just minor updates, the Devs will say it's OK to "Dirty Flash" without a wipe. Sometimes Devs always tell you to wipe and do a clean install. (ViperOne actually has "OTA" update files, which is basically a smaller update file that you can dirty flash.)
Thanks guys for the answers.
