As per the title.
What is the difference between the 2 CDA's (1288-5031 & 1293-0922) for Generic DE D6603 Z3's? Both come up as unbranded but one has a 30mb bigger FTF than the other.
Just curious as i want to flash Lollipop from one of them. Tried the Central Europe 1 version but i was getting a couple of errors so have for now reverted back to KitKat.
I'm in the UK btw hence the question.
Just found out from another thread the 0922 is 1&1 and 5031 is unbranded.
Thanks all

Hi all
Hello to fellow desire S users and XDA teams... Im just new to the desire S, but have a galaxy s, so Im not new to flashing a Rom, but I know the proces is very different on each phone.
While I can understand the process of flashing the Desire S rom (read up on it basically ), Im not sure how the versions of the RUUs are titled, so what is the latest UK stock ROM for the S.
My phone is supposed to be Virgin UK, but from what I can tell in the settings its actually unlocked: Carrier :- No information".
Many thanks and Respect to the devs
Night
OK... Ive been reading around the forum..
There are quite a few links to different lists..
Im sure ill find it.

I'd prefer you make a "Gold card" prior to flashing an RUU unless you're up to the task of recovering from a soft-brick. Beyond that, it really doesn't matter whichever RUU you flash
NB: I've flashed most RUUs aside the Chinese ones - without a Gold Card. Don't know if I've been having a lucky run but my phone was bought off the open market (unbound to any particular carrier). If that helps.

Thanks for the reply.. I wasnt sure whether that question was a bit of a "Thats been answered so many times on here" kinda one, so I figured no one would reply.
I did a OTA update last night and my Software Info says:
Android: 235 / Sense ver: 3.0 / Software No: 2.13.351.6 / Kernel: 2.8.35.10...Fri Oct 7 2011 / Baseband: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M,
it looks like theres a newer 235 out now.
I also tried both Orange UK and O2 UK SIM cards and both recieved a signal, so it looks like it is Virgin software installed but the phone itself is unlocked.
So Ill look at a more uptodate EU / UK firmare.
Many thanks and, I am new to the Desire S, so any other advice would be great
EDIT:
Do I have the latest one... File factory says their EU one (1month, 2 weeks) is 2.10.401.9.. is that correct?.
Which RUU
I have a Vodafone branded HTC desire s. I need a RUU to downgrade HBOOT, but I only see one option for RUU, which is RUU_Saga_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03. I know this RUU is for Vodafone, but I'm scared of using it incase it changes my radio, i understand it shouldn't make it unusable, as its still on Vodafone, but I don't want to break my phone. My current radio version is 3822.10.08.04_M.
Any Vodafone users used this RUU? Success stories please :-D And any helpful comments
If you look at the Software No.the third group of numbers stands for the version:
Example 1.28.401.1, 1.47.401.4, 2.10.401.4, 2.10.401.5, 2.10.401.8
401 - clean European unbranded version
405 – World Wide English generic version
720 - version for India
707 - Asian version
111 - T-Mobile version
206 - O2 UK version
etc....
Going by you latest OTA your software No is 2.13.351.6 which would suggest that 351 stands for the Virgin UK version.
When using RUU’s (ROM Upgrade Utilities) they will only upgrade the Image version from one with an older Software Number to one with a newer Software Number. They will not downgrade (which I guess is why they are called what they are!) .
To downgraded your Hboot you need to look at the developers section where you will find plenty of guidance.

Looks like mine is outdated then. Many Thanks for the info bjlabuk. Ill make up a Gold Card. I also noticed My radio version is the same as EU 401, so thats great.
Is there any other download links apart from File Factory.. 28k/s (5 h) what a nightmare.
Also, Ive noticed my memory is quite full - only 125MB left.. Is that normal? I thought it had 768MB.
On the galaxy S, you can boot into a recovery mode to erase the Cache and OS partition and to remove old OS files, does the Desire S have something like that, Is that why my RAM is filled up, old files?.

Thank you. I also wish to know if using the RUU listed In my previous post will mess with my radio, or will it not matter as it is still Vodafone?
Hi! I have really mysterious problem with my Moto G. I have Global GSM (because I live in Europe) , 16GB model purchased in US. Of course I'm running stock US ROM (4.4.2). Yesterday I purchased mobile data bundle from T-Mobile, then enabled it and everything was working fine for ~20 minutes. After that mobile data icon disappeared. Now every time when I try to enable mobile data icon does not appear and for example Chrome shows me that I'm offline. Is that because I'm running US ROM in Europe? Also if this is important I have little homescreen lag with stock launcher on US ROM but my friend with UK works really smooth. If so can i flash my US model to UK ROM without problems? Sorry for such dumb questions but I'm new to Android (I was running iOS before). I was searching whole Moto G forum but didn't find any familiar problem. Is there any reason or I need to flash/wipe?
I have a similar or maybe the same problem.
My mobile data drops every now and then. Most of the times it happens when I leave home in the morning. Somehow the switch from wifi at home to the mobile data does not happen and I am offline.
I did not find a solution yet other then rebooting the phone which brings back connectivity.
I found some threads in the internet where Kitkat users with different phones face similar issues, but no solution yet.

I believe this must be a KitKat SW issue.
Or, maybe it is a Moto G issue, because I also ordered the international model in the US and use it in Malaysia, similar to what you did. Still I tend towards a SW issue in KitKat.
I will monitor this problem and post as soon as I have a solution.
The problem is you didn't just flash the US 4.4.2 ROM, you also flashed the US MODEM firmware which is included in the Stock Firmware Images. I was having something similar happen on a UK handset with US ROM / MODEM firmware. Flashing the UK 4.4.2 Firmware Image here solved it. I suggest you don't flash another region's Modem firmware.
FYI: Custom ROMs don't normally change the Modem firmware.
Just for my understanding:
In the US there are two versions to purchase, the "US" and the "International" version.
Since I live in Malaysia I ordered the "International" version, I suppose the thread starter did the same. Would this problem still affect us??
Since I doubt Motorola will do anything, you could experiment yourself. There is a Retail Asian Stock firmware image you could try flashing and see if things improve. Also there is now a 4.4.2 Stock Retail EU firmware image.

Just flash a new radio. You can download radios from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763
Trying to determine which region of the latest firmware to flash from xperiafirm for my e6653. I am on AT&T. I've looked around the forum and see the UK + US frankenbuild to make it register as an e6603 using the 6653 UK files + rest of US.
My guesses as to the best are either Nordic Combined (1298-7362) or Customized UK (1298-5496). Both are on build 32.2.A.0.224 but Nordic Combined is on R12C and Customized UK is on R11C.
Does this even matter? Does reception vary with the different firmwares? My reception is pretty bad in the US SF Bay Area with this phone on AT&T.
Thanks!
for what it is worth, i've checked the hashes on the modem files from Nordic Combined vs. the US 6603 build (1300-4290_32.2.A.0.224_R3C) - they're the same.
It doesn't make a difference. The difference is all about bloatware so I always just use the build which is smallest in size.
Saves u some debloating
Sent from my E6653 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Any E6653 Firmware will go onto any E6653
But not a e6653 fw on a e6603 for logical reasons some of which resulting in a bricked device possibly
Sent from my E6653 using XDA-Developers mobile app
If i use flashtool and flash a differnt region and leave it like that will i get ota upfates still i have a z5 e6653
Yes, you will get the OTA updates for the region you flashed.
Thank you
If i can ask you another question my sony z5 e6653 came with 1299-3035 region firmware i cant find what region it was is there any way of finding out that firmware was for lolipop thank you
Are you sure about 1299-3035? I can't find any reference to that anywhere.
How to find Customization Version
I think this is the region firmware
No idea where that's from. Where did you buy it? And is that the customisation version that displays in the phone's service menu?
I bought it from swappa i live in the usa so i wanted to have lte showing so i flashed custom de (germany) is that ftf file a true sony file or a made up one. I really am thankful for all your help.
SI number on box doesn't match the Customization Version in the phone. For the last time, what does version is this PHONE? Not the BOX, the PHONE.
I hope somebody who's versed in U12+ variants and firmware can answer a few questions for me.
I just received a "new" (with broken seal) U12+ with CID HTC__059 and Oreo firmware 1.25.400.3. Fastboot getvar all says it's a imedugl variant -- Asian? (India.) I'm in the USA, travel a lot and vacation in the Caribbean at least once a year. I will root the phone once I get it firmware-stable.
Questions:
1. Will I have to worry about CID 059 / SKU 400 working on a (US) T-Mobile mvno? If 059 is a problem, which other region(s) would be better?
2. For North American or European, which has the best availability of Oreo firmware? The only Oreo I can find for 617 is https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207492637]here on AFH, but I don't know what the "combined" means in that filename. Any other places to get 617 fw?
3. Relating to https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=281261]other U12+ firmware on AFH, is there any notable difference between Imagine and Exodus firmware? Both are listed in the 401 DUGL folder.
4. And what is the difference between 401 DUGL and 401 UHL firmware? (Nvm, I already knew that. I have a DUGL dual SIM model.)
4. Last but not least, is there any firmware I should avoid as problematic concerning the Volume buttons?
As for the spreadsheet mentioned in several places on XDA, like the one I have for the U11 -- the google download link is broken, can't find that spreadsheet anywhere.
TIA to whoever can help however!
I did finally find several pages of firmware download links and descriptions in @5m4r7ph0n36uru's thread . . .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...us-1-factory-image-firmware-boot-ota.3794664/
. . . apparently material for the spreadsheet that is no longer downloadable, and I've collected notes on various Oreo downloads. So question 2 is at least partially answered.
