[Q] Where can I find details about firmware and serial number codes ? - HTC One X

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

Take a read through EddyOS' thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665805
It might help clue you in abit.

Forgot about that!

Thanks guys.

Any news from Retards at O2 on Rom Upgrade???

getting way past the March release date and the only rom available on o2.co.uk is an Asian one that you need an Asian IMEI number to register. If I were to get my hands on one of these sorry things, what's the chance it's any good?

Firmware versions

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

1.28.708.10 OTA now available

Now available in Hong Kong on Three, anyway. Will try it later, it's just shy of 30MB
Also available now in Australia......
Haven't installed yet...
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I got it here in the US on at&t immediately after re-locking bootloader and flashing the 1.26 firmware/ruu/radio
Nothing on Three UK yet, but no surprises there
Just updated. Testing now^^
VF aus here just got the update 1.28.862.9
I wasn't having any major issues with any of the 4 one x's that we own, but we'll see if this causes any!
Steve
Nothing in the u.k yet.
The Indian Update
Just got the Indian Update. Updating.... Will let you guys know if there is any difference.
You people do know that the OTA update will most likely update your HBoot?
Which in turn means that it may not be possible to SOFF as soon as the solution comes out.
(Just throwing that out there...)
It did update the HBOOT. Now on 0.94.

If I haven't rooted it yet (nor have I with my HTC legend of old) then I doubt it will happen before the soff is resolved. My one x's are all business phones phones so I don't like messing with them.
Thanks for making people aware tho!
Steve
I'm still in 1.28.401.9 in the UK with Orange.
Can someone screen shot their phone if they've got 1.28.708.10?
Anybody know the changes? Cheers

This is a thread for the Asian OTA - 1.28.401.9 is the latest for UK handsets so you will NOT get this...
If an update has anything other than x.xx.401.x then you won't get it - it's not a hard concept to grasp

Thanks for the heads up... just updated and testing it out now. For those unaware, the firmware version is 1.28, the next 3 digits after that (e.g. 708) is region-specific. In this case, 708 is specific to Hong Kong. So don't worry if you're already on 1.28.xxx.

It's not so much UK-only - it's the EU vendor code. But yeah, we only get x.xx.401.x updates unless you bought the handset from somewhere outside the EU

[Q] US phone - 4G

Hello.
FIrst , i know there are 2 more threads ( or maybe more , i could only find 2 ) about this but they didn't made me understand my problem.
So I live in Europe and my M8 is an US M8 ( Canadian if i remember right) and because of that 4G isn't working here , in Europe.
Now my question is : Can I do something about this ? I'm s-off if that can help..
Thanks.
Check if your version of the M8 supports the 4G band(s) used by your carrier. If not, the band support can be changed by flashing the appropriate radio.
Also, make sure you are using the proper APN for your carrier. Sometimes carriers use a different APN for 4G enabled devices.

1) Verify what version of the M8 you own
2) Check specs online to see what bands your M8 version is supposed to support
3) Find out what 4G band(s) your carrier uses
You haven't given much detail, and I don't know your knowledge base (what you do or don't know how to do). So I can only give general steps, and rely on you to ask specific questions on the steps above, as necessary.
Flashing the radio appropriate for your region/carrier is probably going to fix the problem. But I recommend you do the research above first, to first confirm that band support (missing in the device software) is the issue.

Yeah , looks like my brain wasn't working when I wrote you later.
I have a T-Mobile M8 and their bands are 700 , 1700 , 2100. For my carrier I need 800, 1800 , 2600 so looks like I need to flash a radio.
I just did a research and found some radio here on xda but i don't know which one to download. ( If you can help me here i would be very thankful )
My phone is s-off so i'm alright , i just need to change my cid to supercid.
---
Yeah . I know Canada is not a part of the US.
Do you intend to run a custom ROM, or keep the phone stock?
I already have a custom ROM - ViperOne
@redpoint73
So can you help me in finding the radio for my M8 ?
If the latest Viper (version 4.x), I would suggest flashing the 4.16.401 firmware package. Not only to get the Euro radio (with the LTE bands you are looking for), but all the other firmware modules that correspond to the 4.16 software, for most bug-free performance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
s-off is required (which you state you already have) to flash another region/carrier's firmware. Plus, you will need to change to the proper CID and MID.

That isn't the firmware number.
The term "firmware" is a little confusing. On this device, when most folks say "firmware" (including the link I sent you) it refers to a package of modules including hboot, radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and others, that DO NOT get flashed with the ROM (but are critical in the correct operation of the ROM).
Firmware does not in fact really have a "number", so referring to the software (OS) number that the firmware deployed with is the best we can do. So again, its confusing.
The OS number is bootloader just tells you what software number the current ROM is based. Flash a ROM with a different base, and that number will change. But the hboot, radio "firmware" will not change. Therefore you want to have firmware that corresponds to your ROM.
There is in fact no easy way to tell what firmware package you have installed. The best way is to look at the hboot and radio numbers. So tell me what those say on the hboot screen, and I can probably tell what firmware you are on (although I'm not that familiar with the T-Mob radio numbers).
If you read the thread I linked, it explains it a little further under the big red letters.

Interesting, you already seem to be on the Lollipop WWE Euro radio, based on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58306004&postcount=734
And the T-Mobile radio number is 1.23.213311491.05G, based on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59275459&postcount=712
Did you flash any firmware packages previously (by the method that I linked). Or was the phone modified by a previous owner?
Now why the WWE Euro radio doesn't give you LTE, is the real mystery. You've used this SIM on another phone before, and had LTE?

The radio number would suggest you flashed the Android 5.0 firmware, not 4.4.4.
Check the APN again. Does it match the APN on the "other" phone?
If the 4.16.401 firmware, and running current Viper, and right APN, I don't see a reason why LTE won't work. You might check the Viper thread to see if there are any other reports of a similar bug.

The APN is good. I'm gonna check Viper thread but probably I'm just gonna leave it like this. I'm gonna buy the M9 anyway when it's available here. Just wanted to make 4G work untill I buy it but yeah. Thanks anyway for your big help Have a good day/night.
What country are you in, specifically?
I think there were a couple countries (mostly Eastern Europe, I think) that had some data issues on KitKat, but I think they had some minor radio updates. And I would think those issues would have been cleared up by now (for Lollipop).

Question Stock Rom "versions"

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

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.
