sorry if this has been asked before, but i cant find any answers that help...
when i go to settings> about>????? there is no update software option i checked all the options and its just not there, im runing stock everything as the phone is brand new, its unbranded international version.
what do i have to do to make that option available, or will i have to flash a custom rom to get JB?
THANKS
P.S i know the update isn't out yet, just wondering why everyone but me seems to have the option to manually update.

DAMN i might have been ripped off :C
still the hardware is in perfect condidtion and its been side by side with a uk branded phone and everything looks the same so its probably not a knock off
since im runing a custom rom , might as well use something custom, without sense, i heard its kinda a power hog... how true is this?
what rom would you guys recomend i use it mostly for whatsapp, photos, theter.

who sells you that phone and says that it is brand new? It clearly isn't as it is running a custom ROM built by mike.
1st of all if you bought it from a store you should take it back.
couse its rooted and you may have problems with warranty

HTC warranty for 24 months is better than store warranty for 6. I recommend returning it if you're planning to use the warranty, it may be void.

Hi!
My friend flashed his iPod with a non apple firmware. But then he had to send it in for reparation, dont remember why but it was on warranty. They did not fix his iPod because he did not use official rom.
Is it the same here?

Yes you lose your warranty rights IF you can't get the original boot loader and ROM back on before you have to send it back.

So.. is it worth it?

Basicly its up to you.. If you are experienced in ROM flashing and know how to get your old firmware back than you really dont need to worry about it. But if you are not so experienced and dont want to risk than you will have to wait. But from what Ive seen its really worth it at least for me. Duttys last ROM is extremly fast and overall one of best if not best firmware arround
Hello,
I am willing to offer someone 20USD if they can tell me how to fix my HTC desire. I was running on a Asia ROM which was upgraded to a Euro one so i could update. Upon updating to 2.2 I have no wifi, or SD and "process system" keeps crashing
The details of the phone are:
Model A8181
OS: 2.2 (from OTA)
Baseband: 32.36.00.28U_406.00.02_2
Kernel: 2.6.29-0cb9f166
Build is 2.09.405.8
Please Help Me.
You need to flash the newest radio, should fix all your problems.
You're using a radio from eclair (2.1).
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
With the 2.2 ota, im not sure if there is a way to downgrade, as I read one of the devs accidentally upgraded to an OTA release. This is due to the bootloader being updated to one that hasnt been hacked yet.
My 2 cents is hold tight and hope one of the devs figures a way to downgrade, that way you could install a custom 2.2 which doesnt have these issues.
Good luck, sorry i couldnt be of much use :/
EDIT- i completely missed that flakz0r lol, can it still be flashed through recovery if he used a 2.2 OTA update? if so http://android.adamg.co.uk/bravo/radio/32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
you still have the older 2.6.29 kernel too
flash the radio to the latest and flash one of the 101 roms people are releasing based on the new ota 2.2 as that should update your kernel

Did you download the ota update, or have you got root and installed one of roms on this forum? If it's ota I dont see how your radio can be the one you've stated. If it's a rom from the forum flash the new radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
I dont know, but it should be possible. Also, the official OTA update comes with the new radio, so i dont understand how he was able to update the rom but not the radio. That is assuming he isnt rooted, of course.

Yeah, you just need the radio. Put it on your sdcard and flash it like you flashed the rom. Dont touch your phone, let it work, takes a while.
so....who got the 20 dollars?
lol i think it should be falkz0r he was the first to provide a solution...
btw...he managed to go from asian to european version through goldcard and the RUU file. Done that to my previous Hero too.

I can't find even on the chinese forum.
however I think it's not necessary cuz so many good ROMs out there.
I did tried flash the older HK ROM, feel list almost the same with the one come with the phone
if you know people who have bought new DZ in HK and havn't change anything yet, we can ask for a dump I guess.

I don't think it's that simple though. At least, not according to the responses I got when I asked this question recently. Official RUUs and ROMs are digitally signed, for example, and we're not going to be able to do that bit.

Rooting will give you simunlock. However, there is no guarantee it will work for all carriers. There are some it does not work with.

Yes. Use the ace hack kit only to unlock/root your phone. Do not use any other method. You can flash anything in the dev section. Read the op (first page) before flashing. It will list what works and what bugs are listed.

Hi all,
sorry for my lack of knowledge, I'm a brand new HTC One X owner. I'd like to have the very standard software (ICS in this case) without the branding of T-Mobile. I've bought my phone in Poland (Europe Version).
Any step-by-step tutorials in here? I surely don't want to brick my new phone
not 100% sure on this but think only one way to debrand that is to unlock bootloader and root then install custom rom could be wrong tho

Well, I've got no problem with unlocking the bootloader etc. but I would like to have the normal ICS with HTC's Sense on the phone rather than some cyanogenmod or something along those lines. If anyone can help me out with the needed files and a step-by-step how-to (I'm not dumb when technology is involved, but I have absolutely no contact with the moding scene of Smartphones).

I think ARHD is meant to be pretty close to the standard sense experience. Cyanogen is a good release though, but maybe wait until its more stable on one x?

ARHD is a stock Rom tweaked to make it even better. you will find it much better, that is the only way to remove it, or rooting and flashing another boot animation
Easiest way I found was to unlock bootloader, root then delete all the carrier bloat you don't want and then flash a new bootanimation

Since you still opt for ICS the ARHD is the best alternative choice! Just search the thread on the XDA Developer you'll find it.
I have a T-Mob as well but flashed on CM10 for JellyBean and so far works great!
