My phone is BELL CDMA, I tried to enter the serial number on HTC's website, it said the update is not for my device.
Is there any official or stable ROM update I can use?
I am very green on ROM update, I don't even know why I need to update my ROM
It's all about fun, isn't it?
Thanks

i tried dialing *#1234# but it says wrong MMI code or something like that... how can i check ? and another question how to upgrade the firmware on rooted phone because i can't upgrade via settings and software upgrade, and if i upgrade which firmware is the best the newest or ?
You can check your Software no. (Firmware no.) by going to Settings -> About phone -> Software information
And firmware is just the ROM that you are using, nothing else. Flash a new version of the ROM if available, or use ROM Manager if the ROM you are using supports OTA updates..(very few custom roms support OTA updates)..
I'm new to android. I can't figure out why my phone will not OTA update. I'm on 4.1.2 I thought that I had the Sep. 4.1.2 update, but I don't and found that out when I was trying to update to the 4.3 that I've been waiting for. I'm still on version (I317UCAMC3) not (H3) which it says you need for the 4.3 update.
Every time I try to OTA update I get Software Update Interrupted, I think I've also gotten "your software is up to date"? I've also tried the Kies firmware and it says that my version is not supported to update via kies? I got the phone off eBay supposedly new and unlocked, but it's Att branded. Would being unlocked stop an update?

DO NOT OTA
you want to be on 4.3, just use the one click method, this way you dont have the locked bootloader

OTA = BAD. Wait and get one that is knox free as well.
It's not the unlocked part blocking the update. If the updated senses that the current version is not 100% stock, then it won't update. If the recovery is not 100% stock (I'm not 100% about this though), it won't update.
But you will end up in the long run being better off flashing either 4.4 (which ever cooked ROM you choose,) or waiting for the fabulous dev's here in XDA land to cook up the 4.3 version knox free, and rooted out of the box.
As far as I know the phone is stock so I still don't understand why the update won't go through. I downloaded a root checker to see if my phone was rooted and it says that it is not. since I can't figure out why the phone won't update I guess I should just root and install a rom.
Usually a custom recovery stops an official update.

I was told unless you have ***mh3, it will not update to 4.3 via OTA.
I have same issue, I have UCAMA3 and it won't do.
It seems it doesn't even have to be stock for someone I work with had **MH3 rooted and all and it updated to 4.3 OTA.
Maybe someone will be able to put out rooted stock one in the future.
my phone wont update either
I am having a similiar issue with my phone, it is rooted and will not update. I have Android version 4.1.2 Baseband version I317UCAMH3 Build JZO54k.. and I have twrp recovery. Does anyone know what I can do to receive the update? Do I have to unroot in order to receive the update? and if so can someone direct me on how to do that? Or is it better to just flash a custom rom and if so would someone be able to direct me to where I can find the instructions to do that. Thank you so much! I have flashed roms in the past but its been a while...

Hey guys, I hope someone can help me with this problem.
So, as title says, I have a problem updating my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT9195) Black Edition to the latest Android OS. I bought it a week ago and It runs 4.2.2 now but when I go to "About device > Software Update > Check for update" it always says that "there is no software update available at this moment". I installed Kies, connected the device via USB cable and checked for update (as a friend told me to do) ... same result.. It showed me I have the latest OS version installed. I thought that maybe 4.4.2 did not yet arrived for the users from my country but what I don't understand is why doesn't it update to 4.3 ? I see there is a 4.3 official update available and on samsung' site it shows the phone runs 4.3 JB+. That's why I don't get what is wrong with my phone.

Nothing is wrong. Each region has they all specific product code, different carrier/network could has also they own code. If it says no update, that just means no official updates. If you really want the update, check: http://samsung-updates.com/ for official firmware updates. Or simply use a custom ROM - it is one of the reasons why people chose to use custom ROM.

Well bought this phone free of contract, it's not locked in any network and I'm from Romania, Europe. 4.3 update got released many months ago so I really don't understand.... is there something about my country.
Manually installing an official ROM from Samsung-updates will not remove my warranty?

You really need to ask the local Samsung that question...
If you have Knox, unfortunately it will void your warranty, so check see if your phone has Knox buy going to download mode.
Is anybody able to make or adjualst a TWRP Recovery to suit this variant (a51_tuhl) as all the custom recoveries found here are not suitable and dont load.
P.s. I have a backed up Stock Recovery image which can be flashed with rashr of flashify with temp-root. However this only for stock KitKat rom.
Also the phone is stuck with KK as there are no updates available, I am surprised to see that in Australia they sell the same phone with Lollipop and Marshmellow according to some of the people here on xda, i wrote emails to HTC askeing them why they dont provided any downloadable updates for this phone, because all other varients are recieving updates, the answered me apologising and saying there arw no planned updates at this stage fornmy variant
anyone can help to upgrade this device, stuck on 4.4.4 and no updates.
Hi Guys,
I am back with another thread for people who want to downgrade their Android ROM for different reasons from any higher android version, like some of you getting problem with new O.S, some of you might not like the new O.S and as in my case my new o.s marshmallow got crashed/currupted.
As in my case when my new updated O.S 6.0 Marshmallow got crashed, then no way was left to me but to reinstall 6.0 M on my phone, but as stock ROM of marshmalow for HTC Desire 816 dual sim A5_dwg indian version was not available on any portal online, so i need to rollback to any lower version android like kitkat or lollipop.
As you guys must know that if your phone is running on higher android O.S then it doesn't matter whether its corrupted or showing errors, you can't rollback/downgrade to any lower version android.
For finding way to get out of this problem, i am sharing some steps which i followed to rollback my phone to lower android version.
Step 1: First of all please make ready your computer by installing ADB drivers, fastboot utility and drivers for your phone.
Step 2: As i have already made clear that you can't roll back to lower android version from higher one so for doing that you need to unlock your phone's bootloader , ROOT your phone by following this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775801 and install any custom recovery available like CWM or TWRP, i personally prefer TWRP.
IMPORTANT Note: For users who have rooted and un-rooted their phones in past, updated stock ROM to any new stock version and already having Unlock_code.bin file on their e-mail, don't try to use that file now again for unlocking your phones bootloader as it will not work, you need regenerate that unlock_code.bin file from HTC website because with updated stock ROM, code for unlocking bootloader also changes.
Step 3: Once you are done with Rooting and installing custom recovery and Super user app. now it's time to install any custom ROM like cynogenmod or any other custom rom available for you phone. For downloading and installing CM 13 follow links given https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=a5dwg
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_a5dwg
Step 4: Once you are done with installing custom ROM CM 13 on your phone now you can start procedure to Un-Root your phone, install stock recovery and flash any lower android version stock ROM on your phone.
for unrooting and rolling back to stock rom you can follow my thread

Wollah....... you are now ready with lower android version ROM on your phone and now you can update your phone O.S with OTA updates released by your phones manufacturer.
