So according to the MobileSyrup homepage its looking like us Canadians have to wait till June to see an official update on our Raiders. No word on Rogers though. Just brutal I tell ya!

This shouldn't be a surprise. I'm actually ridiculously surprised that ATT delivered on the March date and didn't wait till the One series dropped.
Corporate marketing at its finest.
Why are they doing this to us?
Why do canadians have to wait so long to get software that is already available in the US and Australia?
And how did the release date go from March to June? that's an extension of 2 months!
Is it possible to get CM9 on the Raider Yet?
I need some ICS!!!!
Omg really?? Wow my excitement level just went from nine and a half, to zero. You know what this means..us Canadians need a new gb rom to play with in the meantime. Imagine if all the devs got together over one final gb rom?? LOL..cmon guys.. I know ur all reading this..

Has anyone been able to edit the android-info.txt inside the ph39Img.zip?
If we can just change the model id to ph3915000 and the cid to Roger001,bm____01 then we could use the vivid ics. I tried but I couldn't get the zip to save properly. Please, any advice? It would be appreciated.

Don't know any of this for sure, but here are my thoughts on that..
1) I'm thinking that would break the signature of the PH39IMG, which wouldn't let it flash on a locked bootloader anyway (not to mention I don't think it's that simple)
2) If it did work, wouldn't this write an ATT radio to your device, which could bork a few things. And without s-off and the ability to flash different radios, could lead to some real issues.

No one will ever can do that until we have S-OFF. If you change anything inside the signed zip, this will become unsigned and for flash a unsigned zip you need S-OFF.

Thought so
This is both good and bad news at the same time.
I'm just happy that they actually have a scheduled date for the official release instead of the "sometime in 2012" which could've meant Dec 31, 2012.
The bad news is that it's another 2 months.
Considering the device came out only in Nov of 2011, I'm am looking forward to the update so "soon".
I'm actually quite happy running the stock rom and everything has been pretty rock solid.
mobilesyrup guys had a post about bell internal document which earlier talked about March release, almost the same way as now. So the promise is as good as last one...
But this time I hope they actually release it before that date.
Saw it on TechnoBuffalo too, seems legit.

I wouldn't expect any time soon.
Virgin is very tight lipped about it which usually means it's still a ways off.
I can't wait for the update, I am excited to see how well it works on this phone.
I'm going to guess October some time.
We should get a pool going on this one and see who wins
I'm still deciding whether to wait for the update or just put another official gingerbread/custom rom onto the phone.
Reason is, we have a way to S-OFF our phones via computer for FREE - which i've already done

I'm using a Bell incredible s. I took the s-off and originally flashed the gingerbread stock ruu. Nice to have it unbranded. I'm also using it on Rogers now. It's not hard to do. It can be overwhelming with all the info though. I'm thinking of writing a guide. Attn1 was very helpful in irc even though he didn't need to.

You can read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23414723&postcount=886
Thanks vhjc, Im familiar with the thread. I should rephrase my question. They all use the same hboot, but each network has its own unique file signature. This must be verified against something internal on the device. So there is some firmware difference between an AT&T, Telstra, etc devices. Otherwise, I could flash an AT&T RUU on my Bell Raider.
So with that in mind, I'm wondering if the Bell and Rogers models have unique identifiers, or if they are both Canadian Raiders. In all likelihood, they will be unique.
Sent from the Matrix
Yup, I think they have an unique CID so they will need a different RUU or OTA update.
You can see this on the RUU thread, there are different GB files for Rogers and for Bell, and if you try to run them on the other device you will have a device error.

It's up to you. If you cannot use stock, then wait for the folks to split it open and make a base out of it for a custom ROM.
Looks like Bell Mobility's (BM) HTC Raider RUU, same version number as my stock Bell HTC Raider.
At any case, thank you so much for sharing, will save me some time if I want to restore to stock.

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.
3.6

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.

I always rely on custom Rom from this site. Never for OTA...
From what I understood of the recent Vodafone ICS update for the Sensation XL, they tweak the install and then give it back to HTC for distribution. All updates are reputedly deployed from HTC servers and it is dependent on the IMEI as to which update you receive and when. This may all be utter bolllox but that's the way I understood it from the Vodafone info they gave out.

It runs the HTC One V rom so it has the cut down version of the full Sense 4 which i think is better than what HTC is going to give us with the update which will actually run 3.6!
Its fast and smooth and looks awesome! Why wait for the official update when you can get a better version now!!
Best of all is no bloatware from Optus!!!
