[Q] Gingerbread update in India

Has anyone in India got the Gingerbread update yet ?

No. HTC India/Asia's replies range from "not sure when" to "end of May"
<ignore>I wish people would just post a tutorial on how to install a WWE RUU</ignore>
Let me eat my words

End of may is too far

[Q] Can the Canadian Raider 4g from Rogers run ICS?

Question is in the title, basically I have been trying to get RumFloat Beta3 on my phone all day and it always get stuck in a boot loop.
The only thing I noticed after scouring the forums is that the Vivid has a different hboot version -- can this make a difference?
Also could I use a ATT Vivid RUU on my phone?
If not, what other differences are there from the ATT Vivid and Raider?

You can flash any GB based Rom on raider. You have to flash boot.ing assotiated with the Rom to fix bootloop.
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using XDA

To answer your question properly no you can't run ICS atm because ICS uses a higher hboot version. You'll have to wait for the OTA update to come out so you can update your hboot and then you can flash the Rum Float Rom.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA

No you cannot use Rumfloat beta3 until you get the HBOOT upgrade for ICS OTA for the Raider.

So am I correct to assume the AT&T Vivid came with a higher hboot version?
I draw this conclusion from the fact that many people here have ICS running already.

At&t Vivid came shipped with Gingerbread; HBOOT 1.83. OTA update for the Vivid upgrades the HBOOT to 1.85. So I would not just flash any rom for ICS until you upgrade the HBOOT.

No, it came with the same HBOOT version (locked to the device variant), but the OTA and RUU update the HBOOT to the new one.

No way to make-shift that OTA/RUU work for me/upgrade my hboot currently? ( I doubt it, life would be too easy)
Code:
Knowing Rogers, they will never update, ever. Only hope if this is the case is the guy with the Security Off Vivid direct from HTC -- and great devs; but that's a long shot on all fronts, and I am sure a while away.
Edit:
Appears ICS for Raider in Canada both Bell and Rogers is in the works, according to HTC Taiwain Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/notes/htc/ice-cream-sandwich-updates-the-north-american-edition/10150786212353084
In addition, the HTC Raider is on the list to receive ICS for customers of Rogers and Bell in Canada. Stay tuned for more news on Ice Cream Sandwich releases in the coming weeks.

The HTC has just started rolling out the OTA for ICS recently. The Raider is on the list and though I can't find the article I know it's been confirmed for the Rogers/Bell Raider. With out having gone live in Australia I'm sure we only got another week or 2 before it hits here.

Here's an update reported on Mobile Syrup this morning:

Since S-Off Is carrier branding a thing of the past?

Ok first off I'm not all that familiar with htc's ways. I know that with previous bootloader unlocks we were able to flash custom roms and what not. Now with S-off we are able to change anything on the phone software wise. So that being said is carrier branding not so much an impact now?
For instance,
My phone is an att htc one which can receive AT&T ota updates. I know with the bootloader unlock I was able to flash international roms and have all the updated goodies of the international phone owners. But that being said I was still not able to receive international OTA updates since I was still branded AT&T.
Is the Cid what determines this?
If so, with s-off can we just change it to the international, developer edition, or any other carrier ID that we choose. Then flash an RUU from that carrier and then practically be the same as having the international or developer edition phone? Would we then be able to receive OTAs just like the dev or international editions get?

Yes, you can run any RUU on your phone. That does not guarantee everything will work, however.
Flashing firmware from another carrier won't get you OTAs from them. Getting OTAs is a combination of your CID and your carrier. I can tell you from my experience with the One X, lots of folks who got AT&T phones and took them overseas after sim unlocking never got any AT&T OTAs. So I doubt it would work on this phone either.
I don't know what will happen with the Google edition, when it comes out. I don't think anyone knows until it's released. It's possible you will get OTAs from Google if you can get that on your phone.

Thanks for your response.
Ok say for instance I buy an HTC One Dev edition strait from htc. I then put that phone on at&ts service. I would stiill get ota's strait from htc right?
So for my at&t branded htc one with s-off. Assuming that I have the cid from the dev edition and a stock dev edition ruu, what else would be there to stop me from getting ota's strait from htc like the dev edition does?

First off, to use dev ruu you need supercid.

So you couldnt install a dev ruu with the dev cid? What else would keep it from installing?

Ok let me put it like this. As far as I know there is no hardware differences between the htc one dev edition and the htc one at&t edition. That being said since we have s-off and are now able to change anything and everything on the phone software wise, can we not convert our at&t devices over to htc one dev editions and get OTAs directly from HTC and what not?

what is supercid? cid - 11111111?

yes that is supercid

As long as you have the dev edition cid and the dev edition ruu, theoretically you should get the OTA updates. Same with the Google Edition because these two are not carrier branded and the updates come directly from HTC and Google.

I thought Google will be the one releasing all the updates for the Nexus edition (Google experience) phones?
Consider Developer Edition still stuck on 4.12, I would hope Nexus edition updates are handled by Google not HTC

[Q] List of Model IDs

Hello there
I have a HTC One 32GB international and unlocked. I am in the Middle East so the Model ID was PN0711000 and CID HTC__J15. We always receive updates the latest so I decided to make it a UK phone, with MID PN0710000 and CID HTC__001.
I only received the 1.29.401 update last night, however I did not get the 4.2.2 update yet.
I am aware that there are several CIDs in Europe that received it, including the Russian one HTC__A07, so I was wondering what the MIDs of those are? Are they the same as the international and unlocked (WWE) one which is PN0710000 and if so, would changing the CID to HTC__A07 allow me to update and I wouldn't get the "Your system is modified" error?
Thanks!

Never mind this post. I already updated to 4.2.2 by changing my CID to HTC__A07, so basically the Model ID of the European WWE (HTC__001) device is the same as the Russian one (HTC__A07). I had no idea if A07 was international or branded or whatever but turns out it is international and unlocked as well. 4.2.2 is a huge improvement over 4.1.2, by the way, but I already knew that since I had custom ROMs ever since I got the phone. If you're in Europe and really want it but haven't received the OTA yet, you can just change the CID if your device is S-OFF by issuing this command "fastboot oem writecid HTC__A07" and then after performing the update return to your original CID using the very same command.

I am HTC_J15 as well... And the updates for middle east comes after all other regions have got them....

Lol wow! That was fast. I guess things are different with the HTC One. When I had the HTC One X I never actually got JellyBean before I sold it even though it was already available in every other region.

EDIT :: Nevermind .. issue solved ..

I'm from Pakistan with MID PNO711000 and CID htc_332, can anybody tell me which region this is and when i might get the update for it?

[Q] 4.3 update for HK HTC ONE (CID: HTC_622)

Hi,
Just wanted to ask any users with an HTC One from HK if the 4.3 update has already been released. I bought my phone from there but I use it mainly in the Philippines. Checked today and there's still no update.
Also, if I restore my phone to the stock ROM from a nandroid backup then flash stock recovery, will I still be eligible for the OTA? I'd restore using an RUU but I can't seem to find one for Hong Kong phones. Thanks.

For OTA you need the stock rom and recovery.
Also the bootloader will be locked-relocked

Pretty sure it would be posted on this forum if the update had come out. We usually get it after Europe, so I doubt it. I'm on a custom ROM, so can't help.
Yeah, restoring from nandroid + stock recovery should let you get updates (when they arrive).

Alright thanks man. Are there any additional benefits to upgrading the whole firmware vs just the radio? I'm stuck with S-on.

I live in Hong Kong and my HTC ONE is HK version.
I can confirm you that 4.3 for HK HTC ONE itsn't there yet and no ETA were announced.
However, base on my previous HTC(HK) experiences and speculation.
If US/Taiwan and the rest of the world released the update on Oct, 2013.
HTC(HK) will release the update somewhere between March, 2014 and Oct, 2020.
Yes this is how good and efficient of HTC(HK), Yay baby!

Thanks for the heads - up. Guess I'll make sure my next phone is S-off before anything else

Seriously, using HK HTC handsets is almost like using a carrier branded handset. Usually close to being the last of the unbranded cid's to receive updates.

They are currently working on 5.0 not 4.4.4.
They also made a post somewhere about it. Skpipping 4.4.4 to bring 5.0 faster.

any HK owner with cid 622 got the 4.4 update?
