Hey, EU version of Desire C has already updated to 2.00.401.2 *slowpoke* Its 1.5 times faster and smoother than 1.45.xxx.x version. Shall we wait for Custom Roms, based on this version of Official rom?????
I was wondering, if you use the 2.00.401.2, can you then revert back to 1.45.401.4 or any other 1.45.xxx.x version? Do you just flash a different rom or do you have to follow any other procedure?
surely i can revert to old versions, just using RUU
Now i am fully stock, but waiting for a good custom ROM. At this moment, stock ROM is the best (IMHO)
Where's the download link?

Just connect your HTC to PC and run RUU.exe
Do we have to relock bootloader first or just run it as it is?
You have to relock the bootloader
sent from Moscow using XDA - app
I am sorry but when do I connect the HTC to the PC? When it is in android or when it is in bootloader?
I tried the following: Turn off the HTC >> hold VolDown and start the HTC again and it goes into bootloader >> then run the RUU and it says it cant connect?
I think after you boot into bootloader mode you have to select the fastboot option before running the ruu.exe

Sorry for being off target but I have a problem using 756 MHz overclocked kernel of explosion Rom ...whenever I try to play music it gets laggy a bit while switching within apps n also if I lock my screen while paying music n then unlock there is lag everytime something which I never experienced using stock kernel.shipped with my phone...

I've helped my friend to flash his Incredible S and i've experienced problems in the process. He Has a HBOOT version of 1.16.0000 and has a radio version of 3805.09.03.27_M. I've attempted to unlock the bootloader using the htcdev website's method. All the steps went well but after all the procedures, the phone still appears as S-ON. I've managed to flash the recovery into the phone and used it to flash a custom rom (Android Revolution) and rebooted the phone after the flashing is complete. The phone just gets stuck at the HTC logo with white background. I've then decided to revert everything back to normal by flashing back to stock with the official RUU but i had error 150 while flashing. I've also tried renaming the rom.zip into PG32IMG.zip to flash it through HBOOT but nothing happens. I'm really lost now, can someone give me a solution to it?

s-on will be there...u will just be able to use custom recovery. try flashing a custom rom different from Android Revolution . by the way ..in android revolution you can also try to flash the "revert to stock 1.0 Ghz" patch because sometimes it causes that problem due to OC settings not suiting a phone.

One other tip since you are dealing with an unlocked HBOOT version. When you flash a custom ROM in recovery mode you must then manually flash the boot.img file from the zip file in Fastboot mode using the command:
Fastboot flash boot [path to boot.img]

As you can see there are plenty of ways to do Rom and Kernel updates. If you are the type of person that wants to easily get the Stock ICS Rom, use the RUU. RUU stands for "Rom Update Utility" and all you need to do is download the RUU (it will be a zip file with 1 EXE inside), plug your phone into your computer, extract the EXE file and Run. Everything will be automatic.
If you unlocked your bootloader, make sure to relock it. Also, the RUU states to make sure you have at least 30% battery life, but I alway charge it up all the way before I perform any update.
I hope this helps a little.

Yes the att one would be fine I guess , bloat ware I guess don't bother me not sure even what it is ,
I can flash a new one after I've unlocked the boot loader and rooted ? If correct then just put the exe and run files on the sd as before ?
So the kernel has to match the Rom ....also if I load or flash a Rom do I need to flash the kernel too ?
I just read that again run is not a file it is what you do with exe right ?
Unzip the exe file to desktop or somewhere accessible, make sure phone has usb debugging enabled,also need to have htc sync installed....plug in phone to computer via usb cable...execute the ruu...after this has flashed the phone and rebooted/loaded etc....then if you choose to unlock the bootloader go to htcdev website, register and follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked then you have to decide what rom you would like to use and thats about it....

I believe you still have to flash the kernel separate from the rom. The only difference now would be instead of fastboot flashing the kernel you flash it through recovery.

I wouldn't try anything like that yet. Wait for the dev's to set everything up. That is what I did on another phone. HTC is a bit different, may be you flash only the zip file containing the rom and kernel. I do believe that on HTC most phones do allow you to flash one file instead of having to flash separate files unless you wanted a different kernel then the one provided. You would do this in recovery by flashing a zip file.

Easiest way is to supercid, then you can run the RUU or even just flash the Rom.zip. either will work (I did the latter since I use linux.) Then you can use any Rom. Ics needs the hboot update from the ruu

Just follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612685
Once you've got recovery installed and your rooted you can install any of the ICS roms. Some of them have already been updated so you don't have to flash the kernal anymore since we have s-off. Just make sure to check the instructions for the individual roms to see if you have to or not
I didn't run any ruu. Didn't relock my bootloader nothing like that. The simplest and least likely way of messing anything up I found was extract the ruu for ics. There will be a zip.called Rom.zip. I removed the hboot update itself (we don't need that one) from the zip. Then I.did fastboot reboot OEM-42. Fastboot flash zip Rom.zip.
Took a few minutes to flash. Rebooted and everything was working. The hboot I have is already higher (the one they included with juoponutbear) then the is update. But you need to get the new firmware from the ruu fo be flashed still.
Follow the guide previously posted and you should be fine tho. I just used a slightly different method to do.it myself

Hi guys. I shifted from my old Sony Xperia Sola to the beautiful HTC One and I'm loving it. The phone was gifted to me and is from from Singapore (or perhaps bought in one of those countries around there). The problem is that I'm just not getting the Android 4.2.2 update (OTA or software). Here's what I intend to do:
- Download International HTC One Andorid 4.2.2 Stock ROM
- Boot into HTC One stock recovery
- Flash Android 4.2.2 Stock on my HTC One
Questions:
1. Do I need to unlock my bootloader for this? From my experience with Sony, I shouldn't need to do so. For Sony phones there's FTF, for HTC phones there's (what? Is it RUU files?)?
2. Can I make this update on stock ROM?
3. Can I install CWM without unlocking bootloader and ROOT my phone as well?
Would really appreciate some help, just links to the respective threads and I'll take it from there.

When you say you want to flash stock ROM, do you actually mean official 4.2.2 or are you talking about a custom Stock ROM like ARHD? ... If you want to flash a custom ROM you will need a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM. If you want to flash an RUU then you will need to be S-Off to flash anything other than the one meant for the region the phone came from.
Your bootloader needs to be unlocked to flash custom recovery, also, if you decide to flash something like ARHD which is the best custom ROM IMO (and is almost completely stock but with a few improvements) then it already has root built into the ROM. Just unlock your bootloader, install custom recovery usng fastboot and then flash a ROM using CWM or TWRP, whichever you install.

Alternatively, I'm considering flashing ARHD. Doesn't matter if I'm using an Indian region variant right? (GSM)
So I need to:
- Unlock the bootloader
- Install Recovery
- Flash ROM
That's it correct? I lose all the information in my internal storage or it stays? (I mean in the 32GB internal storage)
Also, can I lock bootloader and go back to official ROM at any stage in the future?

Yep, unlock your bootloader which will wipe your internal storage so backup to your pc first if there's things you want to keep. Install a custom recovery using fastboot and then you can just flash any ROM, ARHD is a very good choice btw lol.
If you want to return to stock then check the second thread in my previous post, but yes, you can flash a stock ROM like in the thread I mentioned, install a stock recovery, re-lock your bootloader and then you should be good to go as far as OTA updates etc.
This is assuming you are S-On btw, S-Off requires different steps for what I mentioned and I am not familiar with that way at all as I'm S-On. What I mentioned above is exactly what I did when I reverted to stock to receive the recent 4.2.2 update in the UK
I don't know which files you need to restore to stock as the thread is for the European version of the One and I don't know how your version differs but someone will be able to advise you more on that . The process is the same though if you are S-On, I'm just not 100% sure what custom ROM or stock ROM you would need for your variant of the ONE so best let somebody more knowledgeable take over from here lol
Good luck.
Phew. S-On S-Off, Sony phones are a hell lot simpler! Thanks a ton!
