[Q] Desire HD back to latest stock Vodafone UK rom?

Hello people.
An android newbie here. I have beem doing quite a bit of reading on this forum, but this is my first time posting. I have looked around all over the place and I have reached a point where I am confused of how to go about the task I am wanting to accomplish. Here goes:
I bought a desire HD on vodafone last week, it had 1.75.161.2 firmware on it. I stumbled across these forums and decided to flash a custom ROM (Leedroid). I was successful a this task, but now i have a charging problem with my phone. If i understand correctly, my warranty is void with a custom ROM, so I would like to know how i could get back to my stock Vodafone ROM (1.75.161.2), also with the branded vodafone logo that used to appear before i flashed to custom ROM.
Again, sorry if there is stuff about this posted elsewhere, I have been reading, but i am really confused.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards

You have to run a RUU if you want to return to stock.
I don't have any links to official RUUs atm, but check the threads in the android developement section. There should be one with vodafone branding

Thanks for your reply.
I have installed a Vodafone branded RUU, I have also found a Vodafone backup which I have tried. I get the branding back, but I cannot get any updates OTA. I'm now on 1.39.161.1. There clearly is a 1.75 update on Vodafone, I used to be on it and my friends are on it.
Any help for me to receive these OTA updates?
Regards

I think 1.75 was pulled by HTC at the same time as the 1.72 update, due to some major bugs.

Vodafone website states 1.75 is the latest. Last week I had 1.75 I don't think 1.75 was pulled. 1.72 was definitely pulled.

Anothe DHD noob question here. I bought a DHD off eBay and I know it is locked to Vodafone, but I'm not sure if it's branded. If I don't get the Vodafone logo when I switch it on does that mean it's not branded?

Check the firmwareversion. If it's like 1.32.405.3 it's unbranded. The important part is .405. That means that it's unbranded.

It's 1.72.405.3
So it's unbranded but I need to downgrade in order to root and S-OFF etc?

Yes, you need to downgrade it to 1.32. But you don't need to create a gold card

Hi, I've the same problem, I need to get back to voda 1.75
First of all, did you used hboot S-OFF or radio S-OFF ?? Because if you used hboot you won't be able to recover the original boot to S-ON and your phone will be out of warranty regardless of the ROM it has installed.
As I understand it, if you've flashed the 1.39 branded RUU back to the phone that should've give you the stock vodafone recovery wich is what is needed in order to get Voda Branded OTA updates, am I right?
So I don't get why aren't you receiving the 1.75 OTA, do you have superCID?
Anyone knows if there is a 1.75 Voda RUU available somewhere to flash manually?

Hi.
Looks like we're stuck in the same boat! I have reflashed the original radio and the original hboot. Also put my cid to stock (VODAP001), and turned radio s-on. Reflashed clockworkmod recovery to original stock recovery, got the phone back to 100% the way it was when I took it out of the box, yet still I cannot get the OTA update to 1.75.161.2
I'm on 1.39.161.1, stock Vodafone UK firmware. I followed a guide off another forum (german forum) nd thanks to Google translator I managed to follow the steps. But still stuck at the OTA issue.

yep, so it seems.
Could you post the link to that thread on the german forum?
Thanks

There you go. Its the second set of instructions which i followed Have a gander.

Hi guys,
Sorry to dig this one up but I've hit a bit of a snag with my phone and could do with some assistance.
I got the phone originally with a Vodafone ROM and decided to debrand it to a plain HTC ROM - 1.72 using a de-brand pack I got from Fonefunshop. It appears that based on the fact the phone still has a Vodafone serial number but a HTC ROM I cannot receive OTA updates (I want Gingerbread ) then I need to revert back to stock. Ironically Vodafone released 2.3 earlier than HTC which was annoying to say the least.
I've been hunting round for the stock Vodafone RUU for 1.36 but I don't know if I can downgrade for starters, nor can I find any Vodafone RUU files anywhere including on here nor on Stock-ROM's.
Can anyone give me some help with this?

When I bought my phone from Vodafone on contract in November it came unbranded and unlocked. Nothing to do with Vodafone at all, apart from the CID. So if you just flash back to the stock 1.32 ROM and change the CID to the Vodafone one which I think is VODA_0001 (Dont quote me on that, its off the top of my head but there is a thread here somewhere that has it in), then make your phone S-on to get the updates.
That way you will be completely stock.

I'm in the same boat too
Flashed the non-branded software when I got the phone last year. Now I can't get the OTA update to 2.3.
Does anyone have a link the the stock 1.32 ROM and also a guide on how to change the CID and to make the phone S-on to get the updates?
Thanks

One X unlocked but no JB update

My following details for my HTC One X
CID is: HTC_203
Android: 4.0.4
Sense Version: 4.1
Software number: 2.17.401.2
HTC sdk api: 4.23
Help from international or Aussie users welcomed. I'm using Telstra prepaid and my phone is unlocked (purchased from Kogan) I'm wondering why I can't get the Jelly Bean update, my phone is not rooted. I have tried to manually check for updates, but to no avail. It's kind of fustrating not being able to get the update, I believe it's due to carrier? Telstra doesn't have HTC, but I believe I should have got over the air update at least? I'm not sure what else to do, wait it out? or just better off rooting my phone? which of course would erase my data and i have to do all backups etc.
Anyone can assist/help me on this, it would be great.

Update is released in batches, might need to wait some more. Personally, I would root and install custom ROM, can't stand stock software. But might lose warranty.

If you buy a phone from Telstra or Vodafone ....it'll be full of their crap and its hard to find updates ...so install a custom rom to remove all the bloatware by telestra and you'll be able to get updates

Well you certainly did read the OP's post.....
He said he purchased it online on Kogan, which means that it's unbranded. Also, his CID indicates that it's unbranded. And lastly, Telstra only sells One XLs. :silly:
@OP, your carrier shouldn't matter since your phone is unbranded.

JB updates are rolled out via imei. There are plenty of very good ICS custom roms to choose from if you cannot wait, I'm sure you will find one that will suit.

Hmm so it's rolled out through CID, I read mine is European CID (not 100% sure) and that hasn't been rolled out yet in that region. I guess I have to wait longer, is there a way to check when they would roll out or is just a waiting game?

[Q] Updating my HTC One M8

Hey guys,
I've been searching but couldn't find anything that really helps with my problem. I bought an HTC One M8 last year, it was supposed to be unlocked from factory but when it arrived it turned out it was an unlocked AT&T model. Anyways so I tried to root the phone but it was already rooted and running a TWRP (I don't know how this happened as the phone was sealed when I got it) I have no problem with this but as the phone is rooted and doesn't have the stock recovery I can't get any OTA and I'm still in 4.4.2. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me update my device to stock 5.0.1 without flashing a custom ROM.
Thanks

First off, there is no stock 5.0.1 for the AT&T version yet. There isn't even a 4.4.4 released yes (although it might be anytime soon).
Further, you aren't going to receive any OTAs since you aren't connected to the AT&T network. Some folks not specifically familiar with AT&T will disagree, saying the OTAs will come over WiFi even if not connected to the specific carrier. But AT&T is pretty unique in this regard (well, maybe other carriers in the US do it too, but not WWE versions).
You can download an official RUU to upgrade to 4.4.3. Then wait for RUUs to be posted for 4.4.4 and/or 5.0.1. That is all you can do at this time without s-off. With s-off, you can convert to any version you want, and get official OTAs that way (such as convert to WWE version), or run the US Developer's Edition 5.0 RUU.

Excuse me but what is WWE exactly? Ok so my two options are use sunshine to make my htc s-off and convert to another version or flash a custom rom with 5.0.1?

World Wide English. Which doesn't really say much. Its the "international" version sold in Europe and other places.

Nope, your second option won't work. You need firmware on your phone that is compatible with 5.0.1, otherwise WiFi will be broken, and.or extreme long boot times (>10 minutes). And the only way to update your firmware is with s-off (until AT&T releases more updates).
So really, if you want to update now, your only option is s-off.

Ok dude, thanks for your help. I guess I'll have to s-off

If you want to update now, that is what I suggest. I don't see LP coming to AT&T for another month at least, and it might be even longer than that (months). We're still waiting for 4.4.4.
Be sure to check bootloader and confirm if its s-on or s-off (says one or the other near the top of the hboot screen). Since it was already rooted and bootloader unlocked, who knows, you might have lucked out and gotten a phone that is already s-off as well.

Yeah and like you said if I'm not connected to the AT&T network I might never get the update so it is the only option. BTW I checked and it's S-On =(
Thanks for your help.

Need help updating phone... H3G User.

Im on the same version of Android since i got the phone, the bootloader is unlocked with S-ON and it has been working fine since i got it. I heard 5.1 had been released, is there a H3G RUU for the new version or can i use the Europeon one.. my CID Num is H3G__001.
Because i am rooted it says it cant check for updates, can anyone tell me what i can do?
I thought about restoring the original software RUU and then updating, but what if my service provider hasnt released the update, unless their is another H3G M9 user on the forum who can tell me different.
Thanks.

Your best bet is to S-OFF, then Super CID. After you have done that just restore the newest WWE RUU. That way you're on the latest version and can continue to receive any new updates a lot sooner - none of that waiting for the network to release the update. Especially with marshmallow round the corner.

Other than the way you stated not really. If you don't want to go S-OFF then you'll need to restore stock and update, then root again.

Hey there buddy.
What the chance you backed up your stock H3G recovery.
I flashed TWRP and forgot to take a backup, now can't flash the update.
I posted in this forum asking in anyone had the UK H3G stock recovery but no answers.

Marshmallow Update

whats up guys?
Im a little confused on this update process. i have an ATT M9 that i converted to dev edition. with the new marshmallow update rolling out, its only going to the unlocked version. when i check the HTC website, it says that the dev edition is only in stage 1 while the unlocked and ATT versions are in stage 3. what should i do to get the update asap? keep the dev edition, or convert to unlocked/ATT version? How would i convert to the unlocked edition without an official RUU from HTC?

you already have the answer, anyways ill paste it here for anybody else..:
1.unlock bootloader from htc.dev
2.root twrp 2.8.7.1-beta / SuperSU 2.52
3.S-Off sunshine $25 USD
4.Change CID to Super CID 11111111 MID to 0PJA10000 (international=unlocked).
5.Flash latest ZIP Ruu through SD Card Method
6.This will give you stock WWE UNLOCKED, do not flash any custom recovery or anything else, twrp will be ereased, no more root, stay stock!
7.OTA until you get 2.10 firmware (STOCK).
8.Be Ready for MM! OTA =D
Unlocked generally is WWE Edition, unlocked phones from USA are rarely seen, but you can tottally be sure this is the option, there are only 2 (unlocked) FIRMWARES Dev (current 2.11) and WWE (2.10).

rite, but the update says USA only as of now which means the WWE edition wont be receiving it first. no?

i got a fail to update due to custom software detected on device, relocked bootloader to see if that fixes anything......

I just updated my HTC One M9 unlocked edition and it's a shame there's no System UI Tuner available (kind of expected this though). The quick settings is still same looking; I wished it looked more like stock LOL. Other than that, I'm happy about the permissions; no more location services for a ton of apps . It seems to be much smoother, especially when you flick the apps away from the recent apps drawer.

Hi, and sorry for the inconvenience but my phone is not rooted or anything, I have just kept it stock. No mods, no custom recovery, nothing unfortunately. I would have definitely provided the XDA community with one if it was rooted/had a custom recovery. Sorry man!
