Hi all, This is my first post so please be gentle!!
I have searched the forums but dont really know too much about what I need so please forgive me if im going over old ground.
Basically Im sick of waiting for the OTA 4.2.2 update of my HTC One from 3UK.:crying: As everyone else is getting their update 3UK have changed their tune numerous times about weather the update has been pulled, Is in testing, Is being rolled out or now low and behold its back in testing again. They never give a straight answer and after tweeting them someone else has reccomended changing my CID? to allow me to ge the update.
I have been reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536 and I was wondering if this is indeed what I need to do. If I follow the instructions in this thread I understand it changes the CID on my phone, but how do I then go about getting the 4.2.2 update?
Where would I get it from and would that affect any future OTA updates. I dont want to root the phone as Im quite happy with Sense 5 I just want to be able to get the 4.2.2 update without having to wait for three to push it.
So basically can I use the procedure in the link above to change my CID. And after doing this where do I then get the update from. Do I then just check for updates??
Thanks in advance for any replies!
Regards,
Chris.:laugh:

Anybody?? Just some advice would be good.? I have alos read that a certain unlock will mean it doesnt wipe my sd card. Is this the case also as im still on 4.1?
80 views and no replies? Come on guys, Point me in the right direction.. All I want is 4.2.2 with a stock Sense 5 phone.

Use Revone to s-off and unlock, change CID from H3G__001 to HTC__001, flash the unbranded RUU, updates will appear when available on your device.
Use search for all of the above, unless someone else wants to give you the links..

Thanks so much. Thats pretty much what I needed. So as I know that 4.2.2 is available on my HTC one, once I have done all of the above, I check for updates and it should download?
Don't expect any help on here mate.
I'm in the same position as you.
The reason why Three are taking long is because they're loading it with their logos and bloatware.
Let me know how you get on.
Will let you try it first, will then try it on mine

My mum's a GP, if she ignored all the people who came in asking her the same questions every day, she'd be out of a job and would have some pretty sick patients
OP I appreciate you're new but you could have found the answer to your question yourself without posting this. You won't get any carrier updates from 3 until 3 release them, even if you have superbloodyunicornCID, isn't that obvious? All superCID does is allow you to bypass regional ROM restrictions. The only way you're going to get 4.2.2 before three release it is by unlocking your bootloader and flashing a stock 4.2.2 ROM. All you'll probably do messing about with your CID is brick your phone, and then you'll have to spam the forums more.

Hi. You will have to change your CID and whilst doing anything of this nature carries a risk, it's a very low one.
I too was stock brand with 3. Follow one of the many video guides to use revone and get s-off as suggested above. Then download the stock wwe (world wide English) RUU and follow the on-screen instructions. The one I used was a standard 1.28 version. Again, use one of the great guides on here to download adb and change your CID to htc__001. Bear in mind there are 2 underscores there. You're phone will then see a small update and then again will recognise the 4.2.2 update.
That's if you want everything official. Mike1986 has a great guide on all this as does vomer in the android development thread.
If you want to run a Rom using 4.2.2 then it's just as simple, I personally was using mike1986's android revolution.
It all sounds daunting but take your time and follow the guides and you will be fine. It's very difficult to brick these phones.
Always make a nandroid backup before doing anything just in case.

Hello,
First off, yes I have searched for my problem and I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I'm getting pretty confused with everything that's going on anyway so I would like to get some answers straight to my problem.
As you can read, I am trying to get S-OFF with a
HTC Incredible S
Android: 2.3.3 (GB)
ROM: 2.30.405.1 CL88716 release-keys (<- Latest OTA Stock ROM)
HBOOT: 1.13 (.0000)
I'd also like to mention that the XTC Method is NOT an option for me.
I have read through some posts about AlphaRevX not getting root (Which is what is happening to me) But they only offer a solution for 2.12, not 2.30. I have tried following this solution anyway, but it says 'Main version is higher' or something like that.
Due to this I do have a goldcard, if this is of any help.
Is there any way for me to downgrade so I can use AlphaRevX, or any other solution to get my S-OFF, so that in the end I can install Clockwork Recovery and root my Incredible S, or do I have to wait for a new exploit?
Thanks,
Shinugen
No known solution at the moment that I've heard about. I think it's a new exploit needed unless someone finds a workaround. Hopefully the AlphaRev guys will find us something for this ROM version soon.
Okay, thanks for the information.
You can also just wait.
Sorry for the double post here, but I thought I'd post my findings for anyone else interested in this matter.
After reading some news from HTC itself (Boredom, yay?) I came across them stating that they've "Listened", and will be bringing out OTA (Over The Air) Firmware upgrades which enable you to unlock the bootloader (Thus effectively setting your phone to S-OFF.)
This will be happening around August / September.
I suppose it's a race against the clock whether XDA is quicker, or HTC.
I'll have my money on XDA. xD

That particular announcement did not include the Incredible S, so it will probably be later than August/September.

It's happening in August/September for the Sensation and eventually the EVO 3D. No announcements on whether this will happen for any other device including the Incredible S. So don't hold your breath on HTC doing it themselves.

As I recall it said the bootloader will be accessable for "all devices getting such updates". You could argue about the meaning of that, though I hope they meant OTA Updates with "such updates", which would mean the HTC Incredible S is included.
Plus, if they do it for the Sensation and EVO 3D, stating "They've listened", why wouldn't they do it for the rest of us?
I suppose you're right though, lets not get our hopes up. That said, it would be nice.

just a queston,
rooting is not possible yet and we cant downgrade not even with goldcard, so there is absolutly no wey to get cyano? is thet right?

Short answer: Correct.
Long answer:
Rooting is not possible because the newest update has patched the exploit that was used in order to gain root access. Downgrading with a goldcard is not possible due to the Main Version check.
What you'll have to do is wait for people to discover a new exploit for this version, so that we can gain root access (Temporarily) on 2.30.405.1. If that's achieved, we can run the AlphaRevX process (Loosen te NAND lock, get S-OFF).
Once that is done you can go ahead and flash the /system (Custom ROMs) and /recovery (Cyanogen, Clockwork, etc.)
The above might not be 100% accurate but this is how I understand things.
If anyone spots a mistake, please do correct me.

If you find someone with an XTC Clip, then that hardware device can give you full S-OFF on your IncS and then you can root and install CM7.

Very nice, and lots of pics! It should help a lot of people out.
Thank you. When I tried to root my HTC Legend, I couldn't find a proper guide, so I thought I'd make one to help other people out.
Hi Thanks i just swap my iphone with htc legend from my gf and planning to root the phone. this would be my only guide, hopefully no issue will happen and i will report back. the guide looks good and simple but the only thing i find is, TOO many files needed. maybe i can combine all of them and put in 1 place to help other newbies !
but i still shock to see number of files i need to root an android ! and the files are sooo big aswell ! different from iphone, you just need a website or 1 software to jailbreak it hehehehehe - relax im an android fan boy now !
Every Android device has its own rooting method. The one of the Legend is really long; but don't worry. It's not that hard as it seems. Also this guide is really good!

Error 140 means that you need to re-create the GoldCard. Your phone must also be connected as, "Charge Only". You could also try plugging your phone in another USB port. Also check that you have AndroidSDK installed.
Added another guide with some advice on choosing ROM's. I'm also working on a simple un-root guide.

I was trying to root and flash cm my last two phones couldn't get cm so I've been looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about. That's why I bought this phone, because I read that there was cm for it. but now that I know there is no recovery avaliable I guess I'm going stock until one becomes avaliable or I can make one. I guess if I have a working ruu to restore my phone with if something goes wrong I could still root at least
I've downloaded all the dev tools and am tracking down reading / resources to aid in the learning process. Any suggestions? I'm experienced in HTML but that's it. Thank you for responding I'm glad to be here at XDA and I will have useful things to continue on the future if I'm allowed to learn and others are willing to point me in the right direction at least.

There are 4 custom recoveries. And a stock one in the untouched ROM ( I don't currently have the link to it)
Here are the three i found:
Touch recovery
CWMR
TWRP
If your problem is something else, please clarify as i am really slow xD
As to learning process, as ive said before, start off with just testing stuff. Then move on to what you want to do first, in my case it was a kernel that is neatly organized. For all i know you might want to develop apps or themes, thats your choice :3. Have fun and ask me further questions over skype or facebook in my details.

All of those or for gsm phones. My problem is that my phones cdma. I've already tried that just not even thinking and that's why I now have no recovery. I want to root but I'm not wanting to risk it till there's a recovery. Anyway unless I get a one click to work on this phone, I don't think any do, if have to get into recovery anyway.

Hello everyone,
Ok I just got the Sprint HTC One.I've done S-OFF, Super-CID, Unlock.
My Questions are:
1) Is there a way to use ROM from HTC One(not Sprint HTC One)
example any of theese: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2115#romList
2) And is it only me but if I do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" with Non Sprint TWRP , the recovery doesn't load.
any links with nice,stable,battery friendly ROMs will work for me.
Thank you.

If you want a non functioning HTC One flash any of the rom's in the non sprint dev section.
Ok, So with Super CID I should be able to run any RUU? Is this correct
For example I want to use some European non Sprint.Is this going to work
No, you will probably brick your phone.

Alright, you can just answer and explain what actually I can do with SuperCID.
Not to make yourself the smart person here.
Ok, you are right, I will stuck somewhere but that's how we learn...when no one anwers us with real "answer".
dont think super cid is really very useful on cdma phones...
I'm not trying to be the smart person here, I am trying to help you. With super CID you can flash any carriers Rom or RUU, however with Sprint being a coma phone we are very limited so as far as I know having super cid is kind of pointless. Unless someone else knows better.

This is correct. If you read the info in the CID unlock thread it explains everything.
Super CID does allow you to use any RUU, but that doesn't help us as much because Sprint is CDMA, the rest of the varients are currently GSM. However, when the phone becomes available on other CDMA carriers like Boost or Verizon it will be more useful because those will work since they are CDMA as well.

To answer the original questions...
1. Not directly, you'd have to Port them.
2. You need to flash the Sprint TWRP, use either 2.5.0 or 2.6.1. The 2.6.0 version that is floating around is broken.
As far as good tons, I personally havent flashed any because stock, with a different launcher, has worked so well. I read through a lot of the AOSP based Rom threads and there seem to be some issues that need to get worked out before I would consider them strong contenders to the stock stability and features. However any stock roms should give good results, is recommend Viper Rom.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Give the guy a break; the Super CID is confusing to us Sprint users. Even the guy who posted the Super CID didnt realize till later that it wouldnt do us much good. If it isn't clear to you already, DONT FLASH ANY ROM THAT ISNT SPECIFICALLY BUILT FOR THE SPRINT VARIANT. And dont bother with super CID, even if/when boost and other prepaid options become available, I will have a hard time believing that development will skyrocket because of it. I have been working on three different roms for our beloved sprint variant and have dismal failures for going on three weeks. Couldnt figure out why everybody loved stock so much here, but I think I know now.
Thank you guys, now everything is clear for me :silly:
I am going to use my phone in Europe and in my country we use only GSM, we don't use CDMA at all.
Now I am using this rom: 42ONE - The Aftermath
Really Like it and recomend it.
i've tried with viper but more like this one.
for any reason I am not receiving any OTA update an still on 4.1.2, my phone is factory sim unlocked; I do not want to change anything else on my phone just receive oficial updates. As far as I know I need to unlock, S-OFF, change CID and MID. I have been reading many diferent posts but allways refer to install custom roms; is this realy necesary just to receive OTAs?, if so, where can I find one for my version?.
Thanks in advance for any help
My phone info is:
M7_U_JB_50
PN0711000
CID: HTC_332
HBOOT-1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.15.3250.22
ROMVER: 1.36.599.1

Thanks for your response, My phone for the last 4 years was an iphone and never need to deal with this type of issues so I am really new doing this; could you tell me how to install this ROM?, I believe that the first step is unlock and then gain S-OFF, but don't know how to go further.

Use Vomers s-off guide. It is located in the Htc one development forum. First thing is unlock your bootloader on HTC's site. Make sure you update your firmwares at the end of the vomer guide too. This will update your touchscreen, radio etc.. Flashing roms does not do that. Remember, unlocking bootloader wipes your phone, so backup first!
Whoa. The OP stated that he doesn't want to modify the phone, just receive the official OTA updates. Leading him down the path of unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery and ROM is just going to lead to a 'Help me I need to get my phone back to stock or else I have no warranty!' thread. And specifically, these changes will prevent the OP from applying the update. OTA updates can only be applied to phones in a stock state.
Have you confirmed that there is an update for HTC__332? I know that the US skipped 4.2.2 and some carriers are only just rolling out a 4.3 update. Check with your mobile phone company or wherever you got the phone. You just might need to be patient. For example, my phone won't be getting a 4.3 update until next month.
Now if you decide are impatient, then you can have some fun installing firmware and ROMs But always, always take a backup

Yes you are correct, I just don´t have enought knowledge to deal with any possible problem on my phone. I don´t know how to confirm if there is any update for this CID, I asked some days ago to HTC support but they didn´t provide me any good information, all they said is that according to the imei number this phone is factory unlocked (no carrier logo or apps) and the origin is USA; due to my work I am using this phone with different carriers in diferent countries, I got it from a web store.
Thanks a lot for your response, I thing the best decision for me is wait for the OTA and learn more before start to do some crazy things.

Yes exactly the same here, same automatic camera update, same new orange camera icon; also no tv app, according to the installed apps list sense tv is there but the icon to launch it is not.
I really feel like I did a big mistake moving from iOS to Android, I never needed to be asking for updates before because they just came easy and fast, also the phone was out of the box with all apps and utilities included, but, it is what it is, I'm just waiting for the next model and for sure I'll be back to iOS.

Okay. I am also new to android. It's my first android phone and I was so excited.but al this update thing makes me crazy. Sometimes I think maybe I should have bought a s4 since it's a more favorable phone worldwide. But I just fell in love with the design of the HTC ONE.But the tv app is not available every where. It depends on your country.(I am in Suriname) I read it on HTC website itself. But if got an update to android 4.3 please let me know.(same goes for me)

I did a search on your CID and yeah, it did sounds very strange. I wonder why they omitted the TV app. Bear in mind, this phone is only 6 months old. We were getting ios updates a year apart?
My first post wasn't intended to discourage you from unlocking and playing with custom ROMs, just a word of caution and to prepare before jumping in.
There's quite a few people who would be envious of your lack of updates because you are on hboot 1.44 which means you can get S-OFF and gives you a lot more flexibility.

A lot of other people in the same boat, please search next time. Basically, you have the Mexican HTC One and it's restricted from what I can gather

Ok guys I did everything according to the provided links and BOOOOMM it works perfect, right now I am running 4.2.2 WWE version, TV app is there and the phone is working smooth.
Now I am re locked, no tampered and still S-OFF, I believe this will not be a problem to keep receiving OTAs, just waiting for 4.3 release for this version.
I just noted that now I have a red letters warning in the TELL HTC screen saying something like "this is a test device not intended for sale............", I think that this is because still S-OFF and don't know if this could be a problem, I would appreciate if anybody knows how to get rid of this warning, NOTE this warning is not in the boot screen
Thakns again

Sounds like your region is following the same path as USA. They skipped 4.2.2 and went 4.3 earlier than others but with Sense 5.
Yes indeed. But I am still very pleased that i got the update without doing any unlock /root/ ect stuff. :thumbup: just got to wait for 5.5

If you are still s-off and on uk wwe, just change cid to HTC__Y13. (fastboot oem writecid HTC__Y13. Youll receive 4.3 with sense 5.5 (3.62.401.1). After update go back to your previous cid, i guess htc__001...
