[Q] Asia One S villec2/S3 OTA

I've been searching high and low for about two days. Still no luck and stuck at version 1.11.707.131 (4.0.3).
So, anyone here with a villec2/S3 One S who have updated to 4.0.4 in Asia? My cid is HTC_044.
I'm trying to find out how the update has rolled out geographically and why me, in the Philippines, have not yet been updated to 4.0.4.
Oh, I would also like to find out the current Software version number of the Asia 4.0.4.
Thanks in advance! :good:

You can try opening the dialer and typing *#*#CHECKIN#*#* then check for software updates in settings.

Are you at 4.0.3 and trying to update to 4.0.4?
I have no idea why the update is so delayed for me. It's december and the 4.0.4 update for the S4 One S rolled out September or October here in the Philippines. More so, I have no Idea why HTC made an S3 One S! Shortage of chips... yeah right. :silly:

Anybody?
Anyone with the s3/villec2 in asia get the 4.0.4 update?
Really wish I could get the software version number at least so I can search like a mad dog for a RUU. :good:

Fort what it's worth, i've lost any hope to receive that stupid update.
My CID is HTC__622, Hong Kong/CHN.
As for yours CIDs, mine too has not received OTA/RUU...so no way to update to 4.0.4.
Obviously i cannot use OTA for HTC__044.
I'm going to write to HTC and ask for some informations...even though i think it's useless.

Yeah, most europe 4.0.4 RUU's do begin with 2.15. But I do not know if this is the case for Asia RUU's.
I've been searching endlessly.

Probably, One S4 users here in the Philippines, just like me, don't bought it here.. may it be abroad, or at widget city.. sad to hear that 4.0.4 haven't come to the One S3, and sad to say this, but it's more likely that the JB update for the S3 will take much time than the update for the S4, or worse, may never come..

4.0.4, the thread isn't about JB m8.

So I hear today the 4.0.4 update started to appear in southeast asia specifically, Thailand. Anyone else from this region who received the update?
Still negative for me here in the Philippines.

Htc One Problem
I have to say im with you mate. My One S S3 model is also with the Asian Firmware with 4.0.3 installled. I currently am in Malta (Europe) and still no luck with 4.0.4 or even Jellybean.

Sense 5 seeding now for Indian users

I am updating right now.......
will post more later,,,,,

Some screen shots...
Phone feels very smooth and fast, camera looks improved and option for 60 fps video recording.
no zoe as expected.
need to test for couple of hours for further feedback....
Enjoy...

Nice. (although I do not like sense 5, I love the beautiful Sense 4+).
Your firmware have is 2.33.707.33 means that rom is for ASIA WWE (Include many other countries as Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia...) but not for India. Firmware for India normally is x.xx.720.xx (709-751 for Taiwan, 708 for HongKong).
Because the above information are based on HTC One X, One X+ so I am not sure that it would be right in case of Butterfly.
Where did you buy your phone and what CID your phone have.

Unfortunately I don't know what was the previous, can't say the diff!!
More importantly everything seems so smooth and fast, camera quality is improved. Hope battery will be improve after 2-3 cycle of charging.

After the software update you will receive an 500+ mb update which will smoothly get installed, after this install there won't be any keyboard update found. So don't bother check again for the sense 5 update...

Did you manually check for the updates? I too didn't received the updates, even though the tick mark for automatic update notification is checked. I did check manually for update, first you will receive a software update for 5 mb, after installing it again check this time you will find the sense 5 update.
Many in India yet to receive the update. May be the wait is not more than couple of days, depending on the region.

Question about the new firmware coming

Hey guys I have a question about this new firmware possibly being released in September. I am all about updating and making my phone up to date, but coming from the LG G2 i have some fear in this. For the G2 if i wanted to update anything..firmware and all I could flash in the custom recovery, but from reading on here I would need to do it through adb. Well question i am told from digital that his GPE will no be affected or broken if I dont update or update. Does this include all aosp roms, and GPE roms?

Yes it does. I totally understand your caution for updating firmware. If you are s-off then you have no worries when it comes to updating the firmware, you will still be s-off after updating. Being s-off you can downgrade the firmware as well if you want.

No it wont affect aosp. Someone will end up posting a firmware only zip that you can flash via fastboot. This will be the easiest way to get updated because you won't have to ruu to get the ota.

thank you kind sir

Just regard this questions lates VZW OTA still open for sunshine right? So far no patch for this.

The One A9 and Android 6.0.1

With the update to 6.0.1 imminent, I am hoping to see three things
1. Improved battery life - Hoping that HTC have performed further optimizations to an already decent battery life
2. Quick camera launch - Similar to the Moto X camera launch action of wringing your wrists crazily.
3. Copy paste pop up lag fixed - The changelog of Android 6.0.1 states that it is fixed.. hoping it really is!
What are the changes you are hoping for.. and did anyone receive the update already?

And new emos too.

#3 is the only one that may come thru

Comes the Update to 6.0.1 today? I am hoping that we can edit the Quick Settings.

Well the tweet this morning said within 24h.

Me too...this is the most wanted thing!

Just had a software update UK , not 6.0.1.
Security update and various other stuff.

I think only the US unlocked is supposed to get 6.0.1
Στάλθηκε από το HTC One A9 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk

I think so,too. That is the Reason why i have installed the US unlocked Version.

I've downloaded the OTA and going to install soon.
Did copy it off the phone first.
Had to restore the /system partition from the "system_image" partition image I previously TWRP backed up as something modified /system again. OTA worked afterwards, but only through stock-recovery.
I made the mistake of restoring the original boot partition which encrypted my /data. Had to wipe it all again.

I downloaded it but was told my system is modified, and won't install. I have a super cid of 11111111, wonder if that is it? bootloader is unlocked to.
Need to figure out the default unlocked cid for the US A9.
EDIT: Looks like it is BS_US001

OTA coming through now.
Got my M9 and A9 both downloading and updating.

You need to restore an unmodified (no R/W etc) original /system partition.

It seems that the US unlocked variant got a 500MB update including 6.0.1 without further clarification b(battery, camera improvements) while the rest got the 300MB 1.27.x base

Hello Which CID i need? I have the CID 11111111 but it seems not to working? I get the Message that i have modified the System. But i have only installed the clean Stock Rom. No TWRP and not Root. I think the CID is the Reason. Or i have to set the Phone to S-On?

The WiFi driver seems to be broken on the 6.0.1 update for Unlocked US (doesn't turn on) even though the OTA patch verified fine.
edit: MUST USE matching boot.img.
OTA, boot.img, and recovery.img here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1jicryzki92mv66/AACrI2k5bzG0tMnSBrqxtJowa?dl=0
