Hi
I seem to remember a post about firmware versions,
what the current generic firmware version is and what the carrier versions are...
Can anyone help me find it ?
Thanks
Found it !!

the rom codes have a specific code layout - X.XX.YYY.Z
X.XX (in this case 1.15) is the ROM version. Higher means newer. All these roms are 1.15 so they are all the same ROM.
YYY (405, 110, 60 etc) is the Region/Network code. Higher does NOT mean newer. this number tells you Who, and Where the ROM is intended for:
405 means it is a European HTC ROM
110 means it is a T-Mobile Europe ROM
60 means it is an Orange ROM
61 is Vodafone i believe
Asian devices have codes in the 700 range
Z is the revision number, and only denotes a minor change. Each ROM will have a different revision number as each network customises differently. This is only really relevant when comparing to the same brand code. so if you have 1.15.405.4 and then 1.15.405.20 comes out, then you need to update.
so, all the ROMs are version, 1.15. They are all the same, they are just different brands.

So what should I be looking for as the generic firmware ?
1.15.405.4
Generic ROM is 1.15.405.4

This is my first HTC device, can someone help me find a place that explains serial number and firmware codes ?
For example Sammobile has detailed tables on how to decode the serial number and firmware code of Samsung phones (what each character stands for etc.), is there a similar site for HTC ?
So far I managed to find how to read the serial number from this post. Can someone help with the firmware region code ?
e.g: I have 1.29.401.11, I believe 401 stands for Europe ?
That all that makes the FW build different - the rest are build related. e.g.
1.29.401.11 - EU
1.29.161.13 - Vodafone UK
They are both the same 1.29 build, with Vodafone slightly newer due to the 6 week wait for them to approve it

I bought my Note 10.1 from Singapore and it has build P605XXUBMJ9. I live in Australia though, and use Telstra LTE network. My current build is listed as "XSA", or an all telco / generic build.
I noticed that there is a Telstra specific build at http://live.samsung-updates.com/inde...device=SM-P605. See Region = "TEL"
The build number for this is P605XXUBMJC
1) Which is newer / "better" – MJ9 or MJC? (assume "C"?)
2) Given that all the rest of the builds at that site are MJ9, and Telstra has the only MJC build, should I assume it is optimised for Telstra?
I guess this is really about what the specific telco builds do / have, vs the "generic" "XSA" builds.
thanks!
Hello, i'm using RUU from HTC Lollipop Dev Edition RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_4.16.1540.8_Radio_1.24.21331147A1.09G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_411207_signed
Is this the newest version of Sense 6 Lollipop?
Sometimes i see lest say other ROM's have this: 4.16.401.10 or is this newest version?
HTCs version are split into the 4 number sets - a.bb.ccc.dd
a - Major version number. This usually changes when Android is updated to a new major version
b - The build at that particular time
c - The region the build is for, e.g. 401 is the European unbranded handset, 1540 is the US Developer Edition
d - Again, a build number
So, you'll notice the DE and EU handsets run the same version bar specific changes for each region
4.16.401.10
4.16.1540.8
So yes, you're using the latest available for your phone

Thanks a million that helped. I'm guessing that Dev edition will get updates sooner? is there any reason to go for EU version?
Usually (and I mean usually) the EU handset with CID HTC__001 is the first to get updates but in the case of the original One the DE has had it first. The GPe should be the first to get updates as it's stock Android but after that the unbranded Sense-based devices should get it followed by carrier versions
One upside to the EU handset over the DE is more languages so if you don't speak English you will be limited with the DE
Hi,
Are there restrictions on which firmware you can use on a device? I mean could you use European (carrier or international) firmware on a device originally shipped to the US, for example. Is it just a case of missing some features or does it break the phone altogether?
it depends on the model number and Region. for example the US version model number is F926U / F926U1, F926B is the International Version, F926N is the Korean Version... you can only put firmware on from the same region(model) as yours. The following link has more info on model numbers and what region they are for. https://www.phonemore.com/models/samsung/galaxy-z-fold-3/
Hi there,
I would like to flash realme Stock Rom On my realme c21 phone. On the web "oppostockrom.com" there Are many different versions/files
Example :
Realme_c21_rmx3201_PU_11_A.23_210210_rft.zip
Or
Realme_c21_rmx3201_PU_11_A.29_210419_rft.zip

Oppo Stock ROM
Find Oppo and Realme Stock ROM (Firmware) for various Oppo/Realme Devices. All the Oppo/Realme Firmwares listed are available for free.
oppostockrom.com
I dont know how do they differ - I dont known what do thé numbers And letters mean. So i dont know which one to choose.
Can anybody Tell me what Is thé difference; or better: give me advice how to get known which version do i Need for my phone
Thanks
Yes, it's confusing. I can only tell you the number after the A is a build number. https://realmefirmware.com/realme-c21-firmware/ has some versions broken down by region.
Any it the android 10 stock ROMs will work an you change your region firmware as as stated before. Android 10;firmwares start with a.xx.xx
The android 11 firmwares are more specific to region from android 10, and hence you will need to download the correct update from website or pick a region and wait for ota update.
Android 11 firmwares are c.xx builds
Here I am again
Finally I have found compatibile stock ROM file. BUT there is still little difference in the file name: the letters in the end of the codename are different:
Built number of my phone:
RMX3201VF_11_C.11
The chosen stock ROM name is:
RMX3201GDPR_11_C.11
What does there letters mean? Is this diference problem? In the web www.realmefirmware.comhttps://realmefirmware.com/realme-c21-firmware/ there is no file with "VF" in the name.
Thanks

I think you'll find the version with GDPR is the name is the European version. GDPR most likely stands for the EU General Data Protection Regulation
It's possible the version with VF in the name is a version specific to Vodafone. Is yours a Vodafone branded phone? As realmefirmware.com is a 3rd party site it does not have firmware links for every region.

Hm. It's strange, my phone isn't branded and never have been. But I am in EU and my phone was bought here, so I will probably use the "GDPR" version.

It's up to you. The safest strategy would probably be to return the phone to Android 10 and let the phone update itself to Android 11 based on its own location setting. Assuming that's how that update works.
Ok. I will think about your method. As you said I Could use any A.xx (android 10) version
I'm just going by smiley.raver's post.

Oh, sorry. Yeah, like he said
Hey guys, sorry for late reply.
Gdpr is global.
A.53, a.23, a37 etc is androids 10 realme ui1 global varient use region changer to change which region
Global gdrp c_03, c_ 09,c_11 is android 11 realme ui1 global
Export, ex c_03,c_09c_011 is non global and generally has a region attached to it

There is 2 EU versions EUEX AND EU brande
Euex is your no branded EU varient otherwise there is the EU branded varients which are generally your Vodafone brands etc which are labelled generally like any other regions firmware.
Under android 10 region selector is the best screen to see this on. Otherwise there is a few files on /system (just have to find them againyself) that have the different firmware regions) can't cahnge it this way but just a good list.
List of regions
