I've got a tmobile branded phone so my fid starts something like tmobxxx... And I know I can't root and flash jb as of yet.
What do I have to wait for for me to be able to flash it?

If everything is still stock, ie no custom ROM or recovery, you should get prompted for an OTA update when it is available for your CID.

Im talking about when will it be able to be flashed as a custom rom via root
for that you need to update your hboot, since your cid is not supported you may have to wait till your carrier released the JB OTA.
I also believe that you can install a AOSP ROM of jellybean, that being said you will not be able to flash a sense rom until your carrier pushes out the OTA.

Purchased a used G2 on ebay - phone was rooted and I believe CM7 installed - clockworkmod came up and I tried to install a custom rom and was only getting white HTC screen.
At this point I really just want the latest official gingerbread 2.3.4 on the phone (even if it means getting an original stock rom then getting the OTA update thru t-mobile). I don't care if its rooted or not. (Picture of HBOOT screen attached below)
What is the easiest and fastest way to do this from what I have on my phone at this point? If I just factory reset from this menu will I still have to get a stock a rom and put it on my sdcard?
Just flash the rooted version from the dev thread dude

Either that or if you don't care about root, flash pc10img of ota gb.

Hi guys i'm waiting for the official jb update from htc but something cross my mind. I have an unlocked rooted stock rom. Updating from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 isn't a problem at all because i still have all the bloat application intact and recover root using rootkeeper. However how about updating from ics to jb? Do i need to relock my bootloader? Any answer will be appreciated

If you have the stock recovery installed you do not need to relock
If flashing an ota update you only need to have stock recovery installed

RElock the flash firmware then unlock the install the rom
Nah i'm not gonna install custom jb rom so i think i don't have to install firmware. Official ota will also include the firmware right? I'm just concerned that unlock bootloader will mess up the ota update to jellybean because of the firmware inside the ota

Just run a non rooted stock rom backup.flash custom recovery and your good to go to flash the official JB update when it comes out. No need to lock the bootloader. It just updates the hboot and prob radio version. After that you can flash back custom recovery and also run a older ics rom ( nandroid )
Correct me if i'm wrong, here to read & learn

Just a quick one.
There is an ota update available for my wifes Wildfire S which has been rooted. If I go ahead with the update will my root 'stick' or will I need to flash it again? Its running a stock rom and running 2.3.2, the update is 2.3.5.
Root will probably go......try using OTA root keeper...that might work
And i've got a quick one too
THERE IS A Q AND A SECTION HERE

Tried the ota update but all I got was a picture of an explanation mark and a green android. I'll just manually update the stock rom from a zip. I use Android revolution HD for my OneX, is something similar available for the wildfire S? I can see plenty of other roms on here but I want one that is based on the HTC stock rom like Android revolution is.
Quick one. You'll need stock recovery.

Do you mean I need to take cwm recovery off and replace it with stock? Can't I just flash a new stock rom (and maybe a new boot.img) on to it?
So I rooted and unlocked my bootloader on a stock HTC one brand new from radio shack ics version 4.0.3 I want to know if I do the ota update will I suffer any damage to my phone and will it wipe? Also I have custom recovery so I have to choose zip file from downloads. I'm new to this phone do any info helps. Thanks

I don't see any harm in taking the update. Afaik it is just a radio update which can be reversed by running the ruu back to an older version. Try it and let us know your results.

It brings me to the cwm recovery menu and when I locate the update -sdcard/downloads/update that's where it is, it says this software could render your phone incompatible but it's an ota update
So it should work. I'm just scared to brick this phone I just got it two days ago so I could return and say it's not working I want another but I got it on sale and I don't know if they would do that or if I have to pay the extra 100$ which I can't do. Do if it doesn't start up what could I do to fix it? Like when you flash you have to fastboot a boot.zip file right? How do I do that? I'm still on stock obviously and I have a backup of my current status and completely brand new stock, thanks guys

To install the OTA update, you'll need to restore the stock recovery, stock kernel, and most likely relock your bootloader. If you are using Virgin Mobile, be warned, the OTA is not compatible with any roms or kernels available now. If you try to install any custom roms or kernels, you will be stuck in a bootloop and will have to RUU back the older version to install them.

Ok thank you I am using virgin mobile but I like the stock phone I feel changing roms is too much work and I feel as if I won't like them plus I need a computer 24/7 and also I don't feel comfortable with switching back and forth all the time if I don't like anything. Mods can delete this if they'd like I got my answer thank you guys

Hello
I was wondering if I could get a stock ROM without root. Or could I do it my self by uninstalling SU?
Thanks.
Why would you want that ?
You can unroot by removing supersu.apk from /system/app and deleting root binaries.

Thanks! I'll try it in the morning. I wanted to find how to do this because there seem to be no RUUs.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Well there are ruu's....but depends on which one you need.
Well a Australian Vodafone RUU for Jelly Bean would be nice. But I've seen that the sites have be shut down.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
There is a new domain up, google for android ruu.org index. But i dont think a JB voda ruu is released/leaked. The JB ruu's are pretty rare
Yea, I've kinda noticed that. But I could probably flash a stock European ROM and unroot it using the link you gave me.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor this the site but its down at the moment, but its the actual one. You cant run a different ruu for your phone then the official one (no other region or wwe european one) and yes you can run a stock jb rom and unroot it but then the next the owner will not be able to update the phone
I tried that site not too long ago so its still down. If I flashed the RUU then unlocked it, would it still get updates from Vodafone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I was on it last night so it will come back up i guess......to be able to update the phone you need :
Stock rom (out of the box stock)
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
If one of these things are messed the up the update will fail
And yes if you ran a ruu and only unlocked the bootloader it can still update ..... even with root you can still update, you loose it after the update. Only when you messedwith system apps like deleting them, removing bloatware apps from voda then the update will fail again
Alright, by unlock I meant a network unlock.
I'm guessing that after updating to JB and a new HBOOT I can't run a ICS RUU?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
ow haha your right after the JB update you indeed can not run a ICS ruu anymore ! :good:
I think I'll get one of the European rooted ROMs and unroot, flash stock recovery , kernel and OEM lock!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
yes thats possible....but it still wont update in the future. the updates go by CID. that is not changable....so you flash a rom for CID A and the future update will search for CID B with a different software number and at that point it will 100% fail !
I thought you can't change your CID.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
That's what im saying....you can't change CIDS. but you want to run a custom rom based on a wwe rom. most of the roms are built on the european base 3.14.401.31. And not on the software number from vodaphone that is released on your phone......
Vodapaphone gets a softwareversion from HTC and they put all sorts of vodacrap in the rom (branding the phone) so basically the phone is stuck on that. The next update will also have that crap and is looking to update the old vodacrap, but now its no longer there so it won't update.
Hope i make it a bit less difficult like this
OK I don't think there will be too many updates.
