I've recently gotten a Unlocked Bell (but Unrooted!) IS with Froyo on it.
I check the system software update and the gingerbread update is available for download and whatnot.
I download it and click to install but it stops after a restart on the bootloader screen where I see the install package cannot open. (You know the screen with the blue android and exclamation mark)
Is it REQUIRED that I need to root the IS to update the phone to 2.3?
I'm under Telus btw.

Since your IncS is carrier unlocked, you are trying to load a Bell GB update on the phone and I bet it is checking to see if the phone has a Bell CID (which it doesn't since you have unlocked it).
You would be better off running AlphaRevX Revolutionary to S-OFF and install ClockworkMod recovery. After that process you would then be able to install a rooted version of the IncS WWE Gingerbread ROM and lose all of the Bell bloatware.
I'm just very unsure about rooting IS 'cause it says its still in the beta stages so, I'm trying to optimize my phone as much as it's able before considering rooting (which I'm sure everyone is trying to).
Also not sure if anything will go wrong and such 'cause it's in beta
Had the Desire before and everything was sure 100% hence.
Hi All,
I need help for the following issue,
today i got notified by my incredible S that a software update is available,
I accepted and downloads starts, finished, choose install and the system checked the downloaded package, then phone rebooted to start the installation, then a blue android logo appear on the screen along with "!" inside a triangle, and phone was stuck on this for more then an hour before i took out the battery and restarted it and it is now back normal but on 2.3.5
anyone faced this matter and found a solution???
the phone is rooted, unlocked bootloader via HTCDEV website, and all the crappy HTC application uninstalled including htc sense and everything.
any help will be very appreciated,
thanks.
Problem solved:
-relock the bootloader:fastboot oem lock
-create a gold card: http://androidforums.com/desire-s-all-things-root/500543-guide-how-create-goldcard.html
-download the ICS RUU suitable for your phone: http://d-h.st/users/Inferi0r/?fld_id=2601#files
-put the gold card in the phone then run the RUU
DONE

HBOOT-2.01.001
RADIO-3822.01.0814_M

I can flash the image via fastboot as describe in the original thread of the rom
should i perform a factory reset, wipe data and dalvik before flashing?
thanks again

OK, so if you have modded the stock ROM by removing HTC applications and Sense, then that is why the OTA update failed.
To accept and install the OTA you must have all the stock components in place, HBOOT, recovery and all the apps.
Download the stock ice ruu exe from the thread listing in the dev section.
Make a goldcard and then install.
Remember this method I think will work with a compleatly stock phone meaning s-on locked bootloader, no root and no custom recovery. Do this at your own risk. I have a inc s with cid 38, It worked for me.

i have checked your suggested rom but it seems not to work with my S ON hboot version
would it help if i do the following?:
restore all the stock application from titanium backup
and then try to accept the OTA update?
or as naathaanb96 suggested to simply unroot, lock bootloader?
i have tried to unroot using htc tool V3 with no luck: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343114

As the previous poster suggested, just relock the bootloader and then run the official ICS RUU using a goldcard.
Then since you have unlocked your bootloader before, you can simply use the same unlock_code.bin to unlock the ICS bootloader and then you can add a custom recovery and root the system.
Hey guys,
My question is, How can i update the firmware of my phone if i am rooted. And if possible please mention how the method would differ if i was
1) just bootloader unlocked
2) S-OFF
Thanks
Really Need an answer:cyclops:

If just bootloader unlocked, you cant update the firmware nearly as easily with s-off (or maybe at all, im not sure) but definitely checking Mikes Firmware thread under Android Dev, and S-off Revone thread under Original Android Dev will help. Also, if you are superCID (which you should be and should do so if youre not) here are the instructions for updating FW while soff+superCID (attached as picture) and i can verify i have followed these steps myself and they work. Hope i helped. If not, ask more!

What would I have to do, to get the OTA with TWRP recovery?
Can you flash the stock recovery?

yes. You need to be on stock recovery to get the OTA applied
I just download latest firmware from - http://www.sammobile.com
Then I flash it to phone and then flash the recory again.
Assuming you are familiar with adv and fastboot and they are installed on your pc.
With phone in fastboot usb (connected to pc, ideally usb 2 and win 7)
If S off
Procedure for S off
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip name_of_firmware.zip
Then repeat above command as directed.
then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
All done !
***************************
If S on
then your cid and mid must exactly match those of firmware.
and your bootloader must be locked
Use
fastboot oem lock
Then follow procedure for S off as above

android update after rooting
hi all,
I have Sony Xperia C6602
i rooted my phone using "towelroot" sometime back. it was working great for me so far. now i receive this OTA update message for 10.5.1.A.0.283 (i guess its android 4.4.4). I've read at many places about updating a rooted phone, and found below mentioned instances:
1-you will loose your root, and will go back to normal boring unrooted (but updated version) of your android
2-you will brick your phone
3-you will loose all your data
now i'm not sure i should go for this automatic update. don't know that much about android. please suggest anyone what will happen to my phone if i update it by default processes. also, let me know about the best way to do this.
also, lets say i update the phone and loose my root, but phone stays well. will i be able to root back again using towelroot just like previous time?
guys, please anyone help me out here. i DO want the latest update on my phone. but i DO NOT want to lose my root.

You are in the wrong forum, you might try the Sony Xperia C forum.

Hi,
I am trying to update my phone to an OTA update from HTC that will bring my phone up to Android 4.3 and Sense 5. When I try to install it, my phone boots into Twerp v.2.6.0.1. I go to Install - Download Folder and click on the OTA file and then Swipe to Flash. It Fails and the last line above Failed is Updating Partition Table. Can someone help me?
Also, I noticed I wasn't running the latest version of Twerp. I was goin to download it but I can't recall whether I have the International version or AT&T version of the phone. Is there a quick way for me to figure that out? (if i need the updated Twerp).
Thanks.
John
Are you trying to do the OTA from within the OS or flashing a zip? If you try to do OTA from within the OS, it'll boot to TWERP because you're not supposed to do OTAs with a custom recovery. If you're trying to flash a zip though, it should work fine.
As far as I know, TWERP is the same for the international version and the AT&T version (only Sprint is different), anyway you can get all your essential info using this:
reboot to bootloader, then into fastboot
fastboot getvar all
Should give you all the information. Hope this helps!

if you ever unlocked bootloader you will not get the update and you will not be able to update manually. even if you lock the bootloader you will never get OTA updates ever again.
but if you want to update you can by doing this.
first flash .raw full ROM (I cant post link to download it but if you Google you might get it). keep that file in your external SD then go to droidboot and do a factory reset from there go back to droidboot and select SD download your phone will automatically flash stock ROM and your phones bootloader will get locked.
then you can update manually.

unrooting and locking the bootloader will not help. if you ever unlocked bootloader you phone get banned from getting OTA update.
the only safe way to update now is to flash .raw ROM and then update by full ROM from Asus.com
Flash raw file first and then Download and update by full zip file.... update to 7.4.4 L its the best

going to asus.com and down load zip file put it in phone and update ( make sure ur bootloader is locked)
