Hi All,
I bought an HTC U11+ with a Chinese software version and China Sense. The Software number is 1.0.0.2Q4D200 build number is 1.24.1405.15 9.0_g CL1010171.
I have followed a guide to get the Google apps to download but I was wondering if there was a way I could just flash a different regions software? If so, which guide should I follow and which RUU is most likely to work?
I would appreciate your help
Thanks

Hi,
i've got a sensation with a t-mobile rom.
I didnt update to the last android version. I would like to update to a rom where i can use chinese input, but can use android market as well.
I know the stock firmware in china doesnt include android market for license reason or something.
Or do i have to use some custom mod?
followed this guide and installed the asia RUU

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

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?.

Radio
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?
Does any one can find which bands does this one support and where can I find it?

you can find it in Taiwan...it must have google.
The china mainland version do not have google preinstalled, it is because the argument between china government and google. but taiwan is not affected.
For the bands supportted, please refer the webpage below

Sorry I just got confirmed from a Taiwan forumer, this phone is not a Taiwan version, it is a M8Sw from China mainland, with a 3rd party rom, the beats and other stuff are added by the seller.

Hello guys!
I am new to android world.I just bought this E8 from China and its the China Unicom version of E8 known as M8SW.There are many chinese apps on the phone and also it doesnt let me take cloud backup of the device as it asks for some chinese weibo account to sign in or create new account.The same phone has been launched in India and some other countries with the model code M8SD.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge,I am just curious can i flash indian or any other country rom like singapore on it which supports english as main default language.I dont wanna install custom rom on my phone and somehow wanna stay with stock rom but from some other country.
Also if i flash some other country rom on it would it be a problem with frquencies my current rom supports and frequencies what indian rom supports.i mean i dont want any hardware issue after i flash indian rom on to my e8.
After i flash indian rom would the ota updates happen or no.
Finally where I can get Indian stock rom for e8.
Thanks in advance.

I need help concerning changing the software of the HTC U11 128gb from chinese rom that doesnt have google play to global version that have google play.. can anyone help please
model number - htc u-3w
software 1.0.0.U-3w
Your only chance would be s-off. Even at that would be a stretch, best you could get would b the DUGL model (same as mine, which I have converted to Euro from India version) S-off isn't available on the current HTC firmware and it seems HTC have removed it for now..... There is a feature called trusted reboot but you need a special tool to get this mode.... The wait for s-off begins
Would the HK version be the China edition or the International version?

Hong Kong U11 have Google Play.

Hello!
I have the same problem. The phone is produced for a Chinese operator and can not install a series of wup applications, google play ..... in addition, even selecting English remains a number of applications in Chinese characters. Can you help with a solution? thank you
For Chinese HTC phones. If you need Google
Just go to the stock market app store in HTC. And find the app name GMS
Download it and let it install the Google apps for your HTC phones
It works well.
flash the custom rom or you have to s-off then flashing the stock Unlocked rom if you prefer stock one

First thing you must know is what these numbers means. 2.18.617 might sounds like it's newer than 2.17.401 but it's not.
a.bb.ccc.dd
a: Major android version update since phone release
b: related to HTC changes (software)
c: region
d: minor update / security patch
.401 means it's the software for phones sold in the european region. .617 is for phones sold in the USA . So 617 isn't newer than 401
Hello,
I have 2.18.617.56
I see that there is
2.17.401.2
Does it worth the shot to update it? Are there any differences/improvements?
Thank you
Nothing new... Just different regional versions
