hi guys I bought my DHD last month form Amazon.UK and im using it here in Middle-east .the phone has never being used in UK. All of my friends got the update but not just me why? is it because im here in KSA and the phone I bought is form UK? why i'm saying all this is because the HTC customer service said ,
''Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. With regards to your inquiry, all the updates that you will receive it on your device OS it will refer back to the UK region because your device is from UK. Thank you once again for your continued patronage.''
what dose it mean that I will never gona get any update like not 2.3 or not even 2.2.1. well finally what I was thinking of now, is it possible if I insert my UK sim card in the phone so it might give update idk i have to look for some UK sims then.
Same here..My DHD is too from UK
I haven't received any of the updates either
My brother and my friends already updated to 1.83.415.6 and im still stuck with the 1.32.405.6
Dude, 1.83.415.6 is an OTA for Middle-Eastern phones (containing Arabic support), so you won't get it if your phone is a UK unit.
Actually my brother and me bought the unit together and he had the same system software as mine but he got an update and the update is not actually for arabic support only...It improves the performance and the battery life
Just root guys then you will have all the updates you want.

Someone Swyped my idea.
as for now, HTC dont have any upgrade for desire HD yet. the last update (ver 2.2.1) also has been reverted because of several issues. So stock Desire HD wont receive any update (up to now).
but, if you still want the update, you can flash your rom.
What do you mean by just root and you will get all the updates??..
didnt get this

Root is an way to gain more control over your phone. You will get to play around with your /system and many other goodies like OC/UV. Search around in the forum and you will find complete guide to root your DHD and then you will be able to flash custom ROMs that are based on the latest RUU from HTC.
To root your phone, download visionary+ and follow the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837519

Check the version of the Stock ROM on your DHD prior to getting started.
Mate i knew that before too and thanks for trying to help me but i was asking does rooting , s-off affect the OTA updates?
You will loose OTA but the developers on here include all the best bits from OTA updates in their custom ROMs anyway, so you will always be up to date, except a custom ROM will work so much better than stock.... faster, smoother, more stable, bettery battery life etc etc.
As you said you will loose OTA updates but once you revert back to the original stock rom then will you be able to get the OTAs or not?
Yeah, if you flash official again you'll get OTA back... but there's absolutely nothing to gain from OTA updates compared to using a custom ROM.
Seriously, the developers here are a lot better at fixing bugs and problems than the "developers" working for HTC!
where can we get the official roms...its too long that i havent received any updates..maybe if i reflash with a official rom i get updates...
actually i dont want to void my warranty by flashing custom roms
Have a look in the Desire HD Development section, there should be links there.
With custom you only loose warranty until you flash official again, then you have warranty again
Thanks mate, you were really helpful
And do you know from which server does the DHD checks for the updates?
Will I never gona learn English

You are asking details that are not useful in anyway (ofc you can have all your interests to know it )....Like it has been said, don´t worry about OTA and stuffs...keep on visiting XDA and go on with one of the custom ROMs (best imo at the moment is ARHD2.0.9) you ll never miss HTCs ROM...
here is the link for all the ROMs though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824357

Yeah, I'm aware that the update (which is 37Mb or so) contains more than just Arabic language support, but what I'm saying is that the update was specifically rolled out for Arabic-locale phones.
My understanding is that it's the equivalent of the 1.72blahblahetc update for other phones.

I want to root my dhd but I'm hesitating to do it because I'm afraid my phone will be bricked.
My phones build number is 2.52.1010.2(korean build, I guess), android version 2.3.3.
I know how to root..I rooted a samsung phone but not an htc. Please give me a link/guide on what to do first before rooting and the stepbystep process. I read a lot about rooting but I can't find a guide for the korean build. another big problem for me, htc repair center is far from my place, so my last resort of bringing my phone back to life will be costly. please help me..
please help..

Do NOT use that method/tutorial if you want to keep root; you will loose root when you flash the KDZ.
Instead, install a custom recovery ( read into what that is first) and then flash the rooted flashable zip of v30a.

Hello, guys.
I've been asking in some threads, but I couldn't get a clear answer, so I'm hoping someone can answer me this.
I have a Chinese Moto Z Play (XT-1635-03 variant) and I've been running a custom 8.1 ROM for a while. However, I feel like going back to stock Oreo and sticking with it.
The question is: will I brink my device if I flash the Oreo image in this link?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-official-fastboot-stock-oreo-image-t3786537
I know it can be installed in any software channel, but I'm not really sure if it can be installed in another model.
I appreciate any help.
