[Q] getting on the wee ota boat - HTC One X

Planning on grabbing an unlocked but carrier branded one x in the next week or so. Is getting on the wwe ota release as simple as flashing a wwe ruu or is it tracked by imei ? I should know having a desire but sense is terrible on this and its been running aosp roms since it was a week old
Will be jumping on custom roms eventually but it sounds like we will all be stock for the next little while with the HTC dev bootloader issue.

I'm planning on buying today but would just like to know this first
Thanks!

HTC Desire on Orange - Debranding?!

Hi
Apologies for this post if it's been done many times before but I've been digging around now for hours and keep finding conflicting advice on problems I will run into so I just need someone to clarify if it's possible and what I need to do to ensure I don't loose wifi access or brick my phone or anything like that....
I bought a HTC Desire locked to Orange (UK) yesterday and I would like to get it unlocked and debranded. The unlocking part should not be a prob as I'll just buy a code from somewhere (or thats the hope anyhow) but when it comes to reflashing to debrand I keep coming across posts about wifi issues or OTA updates making progs force close, thus the Desire becoming unstable.
All I want to know is..... How do I get rid of all the Orange crap and go to a generic HTC Desire ROM so it would be like I bought a retail Desire? Is this possible without messing up my phone?? I'm currently on 02 (UK) but also bought an Orange PAYG sim just incase things get overly complicated. I would like to stick with my 02 sim but don't want to run into any probs with my phone, and if needs be I could switch over to Orange but that would be my last resort. I would also like to get rid of the Orange flash screen and the Orange apps that came preinstalled on my phone. Some posts say it's possible, some posts say I will have issues with the radio version, some posts say I will loose wifi and the Desire will turn unstable (lots of force closed prompts). If I did manage to go back to the retail Desire ROM, would I then run into probs with OTA updates?
Sorry if this question is proper nooby, but in truth that's exactly what I am and I'm getting totally lost!! After hours of digging I thought I'd just post this up and see if someone can clarify the situation before I dig in and start flashing. Better to be safe than sorry and all that.
Any help would be appreciated!!
With an orange branded desire, you'll definitely have to unlock it - i did with mine, although i discovered that after i'd flashed it
the only think i would advise you to do is to read up on the various rom threads - the first couple of posts in each thread will tell you what each rom does and will invariably give you a couple of screenshots as well.
that way you can decide which one you want in the firsts instance. then i'd skip to the end of the thread and read back a few pages from that point, so you'll get an idea of what problems (if any) people are still having.
it really comes down to personal preference and taking a chance - most, if not all of the roms on here are working and stable and won't really give you many problems.
Yea its an eyesore to say the least is that filthy orange branding
get it debranded first using a goldcard and flashed with rooted generic rom
then purchase sim unlock code to use your o2.
then update and mod to your hearts "desire"
Firstly, thanks for your quick replies! I had a feeling this was going to be a bit of a mission!!
Ok, so say I've unlocked and unbranded my phone. What happens with OTA updates from there on in? Is it just a case of doing them manually and switching off auto OTA? I read somewhere that by flashing with a rooted ROM it will block OTA from updating to prevent the phone getting locked or becoming unstable, is that right?
Also, this may be a stupid question but if it's flashed to a generic HTC ROM then where does it contact for the updates? I was figuring as soon as I'd gotten rid of the Orange fw that it would no longer be looking for the Orange'd ROM update but after reading this doesn't seem to be the case?
Please forgive me if I'm being ignorant, I've gone from a Nokia 1600 (lol) to a HTC Desire and trying to get my head around it all!!
I would like to know too, I have just bought a Orange branded desire.
1. Do I unlock the phone 1st, ie. get an unlock code from orange.
2. do I then flash the generic firmware.
3. Is the sim lock stored in the radio part of the firmware?
I have unbranded/unlocked nokia n80`s and htc tync`s in the past, but I need to swat up on this linux stuff.
Any usefull advice welcomed, in the mean while I`ll keep reading
The OTA updates will become completely unecessary because you'll be using a custom rom - the developer of that rom will be the one releasing the updates, so all you'll have to do is to re-flash each updated version.

Well what I did was to root the phone first, then flash the radio and then a rom. the new radio is what caused the simlock, so it was at that point i had to buy an unlock code. all works completely fine now.

So can the simlock be removed by flashing a simfree radio rom??? I`m pretty sure this is what i did on an old tync to remove simlock.....but this was some time ago
you say the radio Rom you flashed caused the simlock, did you not have to supply the network provider as well as the IMIE to get the unlock code? or was this a generic Radio rom?
My wife has just got a htc desire HD on 3 and that is branded.
I have got a Samsung Galaxy S and i have unbranded that down loading a Manufacture Rom and that updates as normal.
Is there some software like odin for the Htc and were like samfirmware.com can i down load a Manufactures rom.
she went for this phone cos of the spec and she does not like my Samsung i was hoping the Htc community would be the same it is so easy to do and Samsung service centres checked my firmware and it was fine.
Most people just want there phone as Htc intended it to be

[Q] Not receiving OTA JB 4.2.2 update

First of all, hello!
I'm not unfamiliar with this forum, as you'd expect, but I'm finally making an appearance as I've got a question that XDA (or the internet!) can't seem to answer.
A few months ago I decided to spice things up and put CyanogenMod 10 onto my device, and for that time it was sufficient. But now that JB 4.2.2 is out, I decided to give it a shot. Thereon, a few days ago I used a Nandroid backup posted on XDA to revert back to the stock ROM, after a lot of fooling around, the operation was successful. My phone now runs JB 4.1 stock.
Once booted into 4.1, I checked the Check for Updates setting, eager to see the disclaimer and patch note, but nothing appears.
I can't think what the problem is, the CID used in the Nandroid backup is the same as my phones CID (H3G_001 (ThreeUK)).
Any ideas as to the origin of the problem ? Or any solutions as to a fix ?
Thanks for reading,
Cheers,
Charles.

Need wait till Three UK release 4.2.2 before you can update OTA, But with your current 1.39 Hboot you shouldn't have any problems running 4.2.2 & Sense 5
That is not a problem of your device or CID or software... Your career just hasn't released the OTA yet. You may contact them and ask when they will release.

That's the thing - my phone is unlocked and my current carrier is Virgin mobile, and ThreeUK have released 4.2.2, not sure how this will affect me, as my carrier differs from my stock OS installation CID.

I seem to remember seeing it posted on Three's Twitter, but it's not there any more - guess I was mistaken.
The fact that my CID is registered to Three and that my phone is unlocked and running with a Virgin mobile SIM card in it will mean that I will get the JB update when Three release it?

Updated info from HTC
Here is further info from HTC regarding updates to the Verizon HTC One (about halfway down the page). 4.3 update in December, and 4.4 late January.
Quote: HTC USA also addressed the question of Android 4.3 and 4.4 updates for the Verizon HTC One, which yesterday received a small update to its existing 4.2-based firmware. HTC describes this as a "compatibility update," to be followed by a 4.3 OTA in December. The delay to the Android 4.3 rollout on Verizon won't affect the planned 4.4 launch on the carrier in late January, HTC's message added.

It did and often does.
It updated recovery and hboot, which would be very possible to have to change to allow the 4.3 OTA to actually flash properly when it's put out.
So if we didn't do the OTA we will have to do an OTA.zip to do the 4.3?

Taking the OTAs
Guys, I am at a loss here...I got the Verizon HTC ONE, used rumrunner to achieve S-OFF, Unlock, and Root, then flashed CWM 6.0.4.4 (I do have installed aps that require root if that matters) That's it. No de-bloat, no custom ROM, nothing. When I re-flash the original stock recovery back and try to check for and take the OTAs from the front end, I get "no new software update available". I'm still on 1.10.605.2 and original firmware. Would like to take this thing up to latest, be S-OFF, Unlocked, Rooted still but still off the shelf or stock for a bit more until I have shaken this thing down more.
I like the look of Santod's ROMs, probably will end up there, but not yet . His stock updated ROMs appear to have too much blue baked in for me - I like it off the shelf right now.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help guide me.

Have you frozen anything at all in Titanium Backup? If I remember correctly you have to relock your bootloader to be able to OTA (I may be mistaken though). If I were you I'd just wait until someone posts an OTApkg.zip (I think there's one available already) and just flash that instead.

No OTA will download onto the .02 software.
That was a version that shouldn't really have been distributed as far as I can see.
It will never see or allow for an OTA, so you will need to update to a stock .08 or stock .10 rom to be able to get the .15 OTA.
By the way, my stock roms are 100% stock, I did not change the colors of a single thing in my stock roms.
They are there for the 100% stock experience and for restore purposes. The .15 will be posted today as well.
NuSenseONE Max has blue elements added, but none of my stock roms do.

As stated, I don't think the .2 software was supposed to be distributed.
As you can see from the story above, it does not pull the OTA's.
I have seen this now on the last couple OTA's where folks on .2 were not able to see any updates.
One user took his to Verizon to have it replaced/updated there.
Most of them appeared to have had .2 at one point and then were updated/reflashed to the .8 and the box relabeled before being sold.
Most of the boxes still had the .2 sticker under the new .8 one.
Point is, it wasn't supposed to be distributed as far as I can tell and since it's not truly a Release version, it won't update.
You would have to ask Verizon/HTC for any further clarification then that.

Is there Stock Sense or GPE with OTA for T-Mobile M8?

Hey guys!
I'm European user. Few months ago I bought sealed 32GB HTC M8 from Ebay, not realising that all 32GB ones are T-Mobile branded. It came with unlock code and pinch of disappointment. The thing is, in Bulgaria there even isn't T-Mobile as an option and I want to get rid of all the T-Mobile bloatware on my phone.
I've already unlocked my bootloader, rooted and sunshine s-off my phone. I'm considering either going stock sense or going GPE (so far I've had 2 Nexus devices last 4 years, loved stock) but I want to keep OTA and I don't seem to be able to find neither GPE 5.0.1 RUU nor Stock Sense RUU with OTA for T-Mobile Can you give me any directions - I do realise that after flashing new rom, I will have to put back a stock recovery.

If you do a full GPE conversion including the MID and CID you should be able to receive OTAs. Try this thread. READ THE WHOLE SET OF INSTRUCTIONS!!! NOBODY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEVICE GETTING BRICKED!!!

I've actually done this conversion and later switched back to a stock Sense build. Make sure you read the entire set of instructions.
Thanks for the info, Phil! By "I went back to stock sense“ do you mean T-mobile stock room or stock international unbranded rom?

Stock T-mobile. The GPE didn't get very good signal here. On average I had half the bars and trouble keeping LTE.
You are not the first one that complains from GPE conversion signal issues around here... Is it per device basis or it's just in US that GPE devices have issues?

I've only had experience on the T-Mobile version of the phone converted to GPe, running on T-mobile USA towers.
I converted my device using the RUU from the thread you sent me. I seem to have good coverage but I kinda miss some of the HTC Sense apps. I thought that at least I would be able to download the HTC camera app. I will probably find it's apk somewhere as the stock google camera app seems worse.

[Q] How should I get Lollipop if latest official release is 4.4.4?

My girlfriend has the M8 as her backup phone. She took it out of the drawer today to update it before starting to use it, and she found that it would only get 4.4.4 rather than Lollipop like she was expecting.
Is it true that the official 5.1 update won't be here until August or so?
Is it advisable for her to install a custom Lollipop ROM to tide her over until the official update? She wants to keep the Sense UI around.
If so, what ROM(s) are best/most popular/easiest to install?

1: yes
2: 5.0.1, or 5..0.2 are both Lollipop. 5.1.0 is an update to it.
3: I suggest ViperOneM8. I flashed it right after I bout my M8, and never looked back. When I had my last phone (Galaxy S3), I was flashing a new one every week or two.
Now........... What carrier are you on? Chances are that there is a lollipop update for your girlfriends phone.
And is she S-Off? Because that would make everything super simple. Either way, you can update her firmware (you'll need to do that to run the latest ROMs) with S-On or S-Off.
Give some more information so someone can point you in the proper direction.

You need to OTA update to 4.4.4 before you can update to 5.0. OTAs need to be installed in sequence, and you can't skip one.

She did update to 4.4.4, and it wasn't offering any further OTA updates... until just now when I checked again. So she's probably able to get 5.0.2 now. Wonder why it couldn't tell her that the other day.

You can only check for updates once a day. Apparently, this is true even if there is more than one update in the queue.

Sorry but not true. Just returned mine to stock 4.4.2 then got 4.4.4 offered, then immediately got 5.0.2 after reboot

Thanks for the info. But one thing to note, its easy to forget the fact that AT&T is a unique animal. For AT&T branded devices, updates don't roll out from HTC directly, they must go through AT&T's network and by no other means.
What you say may or may not be true for AT&T; they have their own (annoying) way of doing things. I did state "apparently" you can only download one update a day in the OP's case; just based on the fact that they stated they updated, then no other updates came up that day, but did a couple days later. You may well be correct, and maybe there was something else preventing the subsequent update from downloading that day.
