[Q] my sensation can't find rom updates

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!

New official update for HTC Chacha found 1.57.720.3

Hello Everyone,
I just received a notification that a new software update is available for my HTC Chacha here in India: 1.57.720.3
I am currently on 1.57.720.1 and have unlocked and rooted the device (no custom rom installed)
I have a question:
If I update to this version, will I have to root my phone again? If not, then what is the benefit to update to this version??
Should I update?? I don`t want to lose my root ability.

Don't update, you will have to re root. If I were you I would get cm7 or cm9 they run very well and are much better than the stock ROM

Tried what?
Those listed there on htcdev are NOT ROMs. Those are kernels. You download those and then get the android source code from google, then build android for yourself using those kernels. Which should be for ICS but it has been discussed in the dev section and they seem to be for GB.
Further more, I have compared the 4.0 India and the 2.3 India and only 3 GPIO files have been modified. So it's GB kernel with 4 more lines of code.

So Alex C.
1. this is not ICS?
2. Will i get it stable on my chacha!!

[Q] Downgrade from Tango?

I updated a while ago to Tango and i wanted to downgrade so i asked on another thread but everyone said that i could not downgrade. But, after like a month, i think i have found a way --> Refer to link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
on this thread, there is a link to download a CAB file from an older firmware (ex. 7008 update) if i use the CAB method and try to downgrade from tango (8773 update) do you think it would work or would it brick my phone? I'm eager to try this method, but dont want to risk bricking my phone so i just want to know if it would be possible.
Thanks!

Can you please tell us the device info ??
You can't downgrade by just installing some cabs .. You mast flush a rom to your device ...

I have a Samsung Focus Flash that is on 7.10.8773.98 on AT&T

Sorry m8 ...i dont know the device .. you mean focus s or focus 2 ???
go to the focus thread and ask there ....

no, its the Samsung Focus Flash SGH-i677, search it up.

Since your CAB specifies an older version number than is currently installed on the phone, the "update" will fail. Seriously, if downgrading were that easy, it'd have been done long ago...

HTC one XL eva_utl middle east update

Hi there i'm new to the forum.
it's great one with a lot of helpful guys
i need experts help please.
My phone is HTC one XL EVA_UTL Saudi Arabia middle east Edition.
My android version is 4.1.1 and it must be updated to 4.2.2 years ago but i didn't get the update i don't know why.and my HTC keyboard does not support Arabic language.
I need help to root this phone and install newer custom rom and i really need to add Arabic language to my HTC keyboard it looks more cool than Google keyboard.
could you help me please ?

You can unlock your bootloader at htcdev, you can install TWRP recovery, you can flash SuperSU to get root. But, you can't flash any newer ROMs because those ROMs require updated firmware and the updated firmware from the standard Evita is not compatible with the Evita_utl and will brick it. Essentially, you're stuck.

I don't know about the keyboard so I can't answer that. The first thing you need to do is go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader. Then you can follow the instructions in my guide thread to install TWRP recovery and flash SuperSU.

DUGL to UHL conversion

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
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y2tOFBzktLdWfw8xVcS79NHXSwKHFPTwcs4dHms3gT8/edit?usp=sharing
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

Thanks for the input thus far.....
P.S Still hanging out for the 1.27.401.x OTA

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
