[Q] updating desire

Apologies if this has been asked before.
I have a desire originally on ornage but now unlocked and on vodafone, I wondered how ota updates work on this?
Will vodafone ota updates be picked up by this phone or will it need to be on orange for them to work. thinking of a possible 2.3 update.
Cheers

are you using a vodafone branded rom? if not no, if your using a generic htc rom then, you will get the generic ota updates, if your rooted and using a custom recovery, you can't flash ota updates though, they just fail

It is using an orange rom as only recently been unlocked, so that would mean having to put ornage sim in phone to upgrade or rooting I guess?
Do you know if an orange upgrade would re-lock the phone?

You can flash OTA updates, you just need a Goldcard. I don't know. I guess you would get Vodafone since your using their sim? I've no idea, it's a weird one. If your fully up to date with the stock ROM then it will take ages for 2.3 to come out anyway or at least another update.

If you're using an Orange ROM then the Orange OTAs will continue to come through. The phone just checks Google's update server - the fact you're using a Vodafone SIM is irrelevent as that's not what dictates the update

Cheers that would seem sensible thanks

[Q] Why can I update to JB if there is an update for my cid?

I have CID: VODAP304 and I know that Vodafones has released the last update for the HOX, but I tried several ways to try updating and nothing, the update doesn`t appear, it says that my phone has the latest software version.
I have the phone completily stock.
Thanks and sorry for my english

It means that you must still wait

[23.12.2012] Jelly Bean firmware collection for different Carriers ID (CID)
As you can see in this link, your CID has not received the JB update yet. So you must wait.

Sorry but I see my CID in that list..

This is a list that supports the hboot firmware update with the unofficial way ! These cids supports the update wether the update has been rolled out or not !

I alredy know what is the problem, a few days before I was reading the steps to root the phone, and I did them, but I'm sure that I stop in the screen that says "you are going to unlock the bootloader......YES/NO" that I restart the phone choosing the NO option. But what is my surprise yesterday trying to solve the update to jb problem that checking the HBOOT version I see "UNLOCKED" ¿?¿?¿ How is it possible???
I'm reading now that having the bootloader open it's not a problem for update to jb while the recovery is stock.
I "RELOCKED" the HBOOT and the update doesn't appear yet, when in Spain with my CID everyone has updated to JB.
Any suggestions?¿
THANKS!

Yes but not rooted, just unlocked the bootloader, but know I have it relocked again. And all of the things are in stock too. How is it possible that I can't receive the OTA, even knowing some cases that having rooted and unlocked the bootloader they recive the OTA obviously they can't install it but they recive the message at least.

the point is.. you've unlocked your phone, so you've annuled the warranty.
now you can root it and update your phone with the alternative method, the warranty is not valid even if you don't root the phone, HTC watches just the "RELOCKED" word.

Can you show me the thread on how to do it that way? But first, you know why I can't receive the OTA??

Actually I can't find the topic where is explained how do it...
you can look for "vodafone unofficial jelly bean" or something like that
Branded devices must wait ages before official updates, maybe in your area the update will come later.

Is this thread you were after ?

Orangre branded HTC One M8 -> Unlocked -> Lollipop. Possible?

I read that for Unlocked edition of M8 lollipop update with sense 6 already started rolling out. I have orange branded Polish phone with 3.33.69.1 compilation(android 4.4.4, kernel 3-4.0-g07962b9). I would like to change to official non-branded rom and then update to lollipop. I've rooted and changed roms on some previous android phones I had, but I would like to make sure that changing from orange branded to normal is possible, and that I will be able to receive official firmware updates afterwards.

i'm also interested in this. anyone?

Well I'm o2 UK branded and ive received update

You need to wait for an OTA Update to LP Firmware with a LP update with it.
Otherwise you'd need to S-Off. Pay up the $25, and S-Off. You'll have every firmware prior to release and be able to update.

From my experience Orange is very slow with allowing over the air updates, and I would prefer not to wait.
S-Off is achieved by using Sunshine, and Sunshine costs 25$, right? Once I do that I'll be able to change firmware, from what I gather.
The only thing I don't know is - where to get official HTC one m8 rom with no branding. I would like 100% legal way to get official non-orange m8 firmware. For example HTC site offering firmware updates to use with SD cards? Also, do I need to change CID? Wouldn't I just need to unlock bootloader trough htcdev and then install other firmware?

Is it possible debrand a HTC desire eye ?

Hi All,
I have a 3 Mobile UK contract HTC Desire eye. The phone is already unlocked and I can use any SIM in it. I was successfully able to install generic Europe recovery and root the device to remove any 3 Mobile UK app's. Now the problem is if I try to get OTA updates, I get a message saying my phone software is modified and I can install updates. Is there way to completely install Generic Europe ROM and remove any boot loader unlock or the root access so that I can get the OTA security updates ?

M9 update question

Hello,
Recently ive got an HTC one M9 with 5.0.2 version. I've checked for OTA updates and none. After, i've googled around and saw that i can update manual even from HTC.
My phone is S-OFF, rooted and LOCKED bootloader (this is how i've got it).
Trying to find out CID and etc i got more info. I want to update to android 6.0 but dunno how to do it safely without bricking. I have attached 2 screenshoots with detailed info.
Could someone explain in few words how to do it? Also i would like to know if i lose root in the process.
Thanks in advance
ps: i got some exp with flashing/rooting etc, but on LG phones.

Any1 can tell me if i can update to 6.0 on my htc one m9 with S-OFF, rooted and LOCKED bootloader?
I should unlock bootloader?
