Database Develop

General ICS discussion

So the news is all over the place by now, today is the day ICS ruu's are rolling out in mainland China. People are freaking out and Google translate has never been used so much by members of the Xda IncS forums.
So I decided to create this thread as a general place to talk about new updates, expectations, let downs, and anything else ICS related.
It has been a long time coming (6 months or so) but it's finally starting to roll out. We await the n00bs, the new devs, the "Help!!!! I bricked my phone!" Threads, the daily flashing of CM Nightlies, user mods, and the generally missed rush of traffic here on the IncS boards.
The wait is over.
Discuss.

Good Idea, I will repost the important info I posted elsewhere:
I have found someone who is downloading the s710e update, but it is going very slowly. Probably will be tomorrow before you guys can get your hands on any ROM's but I will keep an eye on it, as soon as a file appears I will get to work!
BTW, there is an easy way to tell the difference:
The CDMA version is 4.08.1401.3 (348.1MB)
The version we want is 4.08.1400.2 (and is only 251.26MB)
And it is Sense 3.6, despite the filename saying Sense 3.5
IMPORTANT
If an image (RUU, .exe or P32IMG) appears, and you aren't planning to use it for dev or creating a mirror, then please don't download it. You won't be able to do anything with it, and it will just suck up bandwidth and slow down those who can make use of it!

The Desire S has a leaked 4.0.4, the s710d has 4.0.3.
What Version of Android will get the IncS? I hope it's 4.0.4, i can wait 1 week more for this.

Once we have the files it will be no problem for devs to keep us up to date. I strongly suggest that if anyone plans on rooting their phone to do it now as it is likely that the new ruu will come with an updated h-boot which will take time to learn how to circumvent s-off.

But i dont really want to root and s-off my phone, it runs good at the moment...

Agree with lost.prophet , download what devs tell you to thats all

Dependant on HTC Europe and you carrier, you will probably have to wait 2 - 3 months for the update officially

+1 I'd bank on at least 2 months. But if your not one to be tech savvy than your going to be waiting a while : (

How could you not... generally they start with a stable version and increase functionality with every nightly build decreasing the wait time for experienced users between stable builds. As you can see I'm still on 146 and I've been waiting ever since

I highly doubt it will be any time soon and it wont be till after Europe is done getting it. But you never know, your best bet is to phone HTC or bell to get an eta.

So for the first time ICS updates are becoming Asia-centric. Can we expect Taiwan, Singapore & India to get the next updates? Or will they switch to EU, as usual?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA

I think the updates roll out in a geographic circle starting in Asia but I could be wrong.

One simple question, has anyone been able to update to ICS via the lg pc updater in the UK?
Thanks.

Nope, still waiting. Everywhere else seems to have it apart from us.

May i Suggest to flash one of the Awesome rom´s our dev´s Cooked based on ICS Stock?
So you don´t have to wait for LG UK and can just say F**k you to them.
I also realy think you get much much much more technical help with our great cooked rom´s than LG could ever give you.

I suggest the same, when I first installed stock LG ICS, phone was lagging badly and almost instantly I've downgraded to GB. As soon as modified stock roms came out I gave them a try and I can only say that i feel like I have a new phone, it's performing as never before...

Any ICS in the UK yet?

Na not yet mate. Still on v20g, I heard v20l was released the other day for the uk. Gonna try the update tool when I get home later.
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk 2

Have got a ota for v20i and I think this is the update needed to go to ICS via the PC ? Will try later.

Still no update in the UK, TWO years after ICS release!
LG you are a joke.

Sumo75, looks like 30a has been released.

I know i updated and it got stuck at 23% and didnt ever move again,for 3 hours!
So i guuss its knackered now stuck on update screen,power and vol up/down dont work?
Is this what they call a brick?

Anyone in the UK having problems updating to ICS?

instead of going the long lazy way why don`t you use the AIO toolkit for p990. then download the ics kdz file. the thing is pretty self explanatory and easy

Same here,i tried everything,flashing a fresh 350 firmware but i couldn't update the phone via ota.
I have an unlocked bootloader,i locked it but same things.
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium

The .434 update was released a couple weeks ago, I guess there are different release schedules for every country.
I had my XZ rooted with the locked bootloader method ( goroh_kun's ), and ota updates does not work.
Updated through Sony Bridge for Mac, it works, but the root access was lost. Re rooted it with the same method and it works

Seriously? I still have nothing even on PC companion. I'm on unbranded but use an O2 sim.

Same here, and Three don't even have any forums to ask how long updates should be taking, it's been three weeks now and absolutely nothing.
I knew Sony would be slow with updates but didn't realise I would then have to wait for Three to push it through! Will probably have to wait at least six months to get the 4.2.2 update! lol
Extremely bad customer service from Three so will be leaving them when my contract is up, can't even use Google to search for any helpful information as a company called 'Three' brings up almost every query regardless of network operator :silly:

Well, I haven't had the update and I will probably never get it! In a German forum someone contacted the customer care of my provider (t-mobile Germany) and was told by the tech-support that t-mobile will not roll out the .434 as their techs thought that it would harm the phone more than it actually helped. So they're waiting for the next update...
Dunno if it's true, but I could imagine that it is, as every provider releases their updates differently, so they might skip one as well...
you might wanna check if they do?

[Q] No update for phone

I've purchased a HTC Butterfly s from Malaysia about 3 weeks back and I've yet to receive any updates . I see majority of the members here had already received their updates . Is it normal or am I missing out on something ? My current software number is 1.11.707.1 . So far the phone is in excellent condition..
Thank you :fingers-crossed:

I'm in Singapore. Same thing. No update yet.

Alright buddy , I thought I was the only one having this problem , thanks :good::fingers-crossed:

I suppose most of us have the HK version of the phone, which is why we got our update already. In other countries where the phone is sold officially, updates may be delayed a bit.
If you want the update ahead of time, you can always grab the updated dump of the stock ROM, but that would most probably mean unlocking the bootloader.

That's weird - I am on 4.1.2 (254) and there is a constant nag in the notification screen of my sony telling me about new update 266
{in fact that was how I updated my device to 4.3 when I got my device new - ignorantly pressing on the notification in my device...}

I know I thought it might take a little time to come through but it still hasn't shown up
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

ive tried to contact sony and after 2 days waiting for a reply they said try the pc companion tool to do the update, but i already told them i had tried that in the first email so i replied stating that the it does work and its now been 3 day and no response from them

Hey guys has anyone had an idea how to fix this with out having to wipe it as it's still on 4.1.2?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

well the 4.3 update finally came today so i guess to answer my own question the answer is wait 4 months lol
