[Q] Gingerbread update for Unlocked Bell Incredible S on AT&T??

What are my options?
I'm using an unlocked "Bell" Incredible S on AT&T in the USA.
I'm sure that means I'll never see an OTA update... How can I force the update?

If you had read the OTA topic you would have see my answer that bell is curently working on the OTA but we have no ETA

But for those of us running an unlocked Bell IS on AT&T, we won't see the OTA even after it's released because we're not on Bell, so we would have to install it manually. Is there a way to just go ahead and install the WWE OTA that's just been released on our phones? Perhaps through a goldcard? This would have the added bonus of getting rid of all the Bell apps that are cluttering the phone.

can't you install through updater software?
OTA never worked for my Telus Milestone, but we got 2.1 and 2.2 through old skool ways using USB and software

Are we sure that Bell actually did something to disable the goldcard method? Don't only certain kinds of SD cards work? Maybe no one has tried an SD that will work yet?

No one seems to be sure right now. But at the moment neither the ota or wwe seem to be working for anyone using a bell IS, including me. Has anyone been successful in updating manually with a bell Is?

Nope

Any update?

So far nothing. It seems that Bell's version is somewhat different and the regular Gold Card method definitely does not work. Also, the XTC clip doesn't work to turn off S-ON so Raskal is currently trying to source a Bell version IS to test.
So, even if you're on AT&T (as I am) we'll just have to wait for Bell to release the upgrade themselves.

Emailed Bell last week and all they had got to say to me was:

I regret that we do not have confirmation of when an update will be released yet. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Raskal found a bell is so we should b good soon

So let me make sure I understand this correctly. Since I have an unlocked Bell Incredible S and I am using this on AT&T's network, we won't get an OTA update? How do you manually install it when it does come out?

Unlocking the sim lock does not change your device ID, which is used to determine which server you will receive updates from. The carrier the phone is using has nothing to do with deciding what kind updates you get through OTA.
Correct me if I'm wrong

That's what I thought too. I thought the device id was what determined what update you got.

With HBOOT 1.13 you can go straight to the http://Revolutionary.io and gain true S-OFF on your phone. Read the documentation carefully and you shouldn't have any trouble at all.

Hi
Firstly welcome to xda
You're in a good position, as your hboot version is able to be s offed without downgrading
You can go straight to revolutionary.io and s off from there.
Here is the link to the video tutorial I used back in the day
http://theunlockr.com/2011/08/02/ho...android-phone-using-the-revolutionary-method/
Make sure you're using the correct files for our device because in the video they use a HTC sensation (same procedure)
S off is better than htcdev because it allows you more permissions to flash things like radios and kernels easily
Good luck, if you have questions them Google is your friend, if Google doesn't know then ask here

When have you received the incs OTA update from Bell? Me and all the people I know, who have got Bell INCS phones, have yet to receive this update from Bell.

The OP didn't received the OTA. He was asking how to root his current ROM.
If you really want the ICS ROM for your Bell IncS, HTC has released the ICS RUU on the HTCDEV.com/devcenter/downloads site. There you will find a NAM/Canadian version that you can use to upgrade.

Thanks tplblake, but I already knew this. It's just that, I have reread the op post, and see that I had misread his post. I was reading "has" while the op had written "hasnt". I gueas that the missing quote in "hasnt", got me confused.

Woah, I came here to find out what was going on with ICS and it looks like this was posted a month ago! :good:
I take it this wouldn't have bell's bloatware also?

It's the Canadian rom without the Bell bloatware. If you need part or all the Bell bloatware, it is available on the playstore.

I updated my Bell IncS to the RUU listed on the HTCdev website and it is great. Superuser also works perfectly to give you root access.

Hello Meraj,
That message means that your phone has been modified from stock. That's why you won't get updates.
Boot the phone into the bootloader, and post the information it displays, here
It will tell you what Carrier ID and firmware it's using, among other things.
Maybe the phone can be reverted back to stock software.

Thanks for your reply..
Here is the picture of bootloader.
Can it be revert back . While in bootloader I saw couple of options of rebooting or to factory setting , wipe out n all.. will it be helpful .
Thank you

That confirms it.
That boot loader screen shows:
1) the phone is unlocked.
2 ) the "tampered" flag is set, which is probably because a custom recovery (TWRP aka Win Recovery) has been flashed on the phone.
3) the Hboot is version 1.44. That's a good thing.
Now you need to determine what the CID and MID are.
Do you have "ADB" installed on a computer that you can use ?

And if you wish to continue it with better rom... Try flashing ViperOne.... I bought from Dubai, used, unlocked & tempered too

To have ota update, you need both CID and MID that matches regions that received and update. You also need stock recovery and locked bootloader (yours is unlocked and I guess you have a custom recovery installed)
we need the info from fastboot getvar all command to help you
but do not post info related to your s/n and imei
if you don't know how, go read about adb and fastboot first

update help
hello guys.. thank you all for your help//
somehow manage to get these details about fastboot. . i am adding the picture.. i dont understand much but i have intuition that it might be asia ruu. please help me find one.. but one thing please if i go back to original stock then will i face the sim lock problem ( as i bought it in dubai and if the phone is from another country and by some other carrier on which only their sim works)? and main concern that if i will get all the regular updates launched by htc,
thank you

update help
i am sorry the picture wasnt clear before

IMPORTANT Make s-off first.
Sent from my HTC 802w

The phone is indeed from the UK as it's a Vodafone handset. Good news is you can get S-OFF following the revone thread and then flash the generic 1.28.401.7 RUU to get back to 100% and it will then get the OTA updates to get up-to-date

What about the SIM lock .. so before flashing important thing is to s off ..

Probably killed my modem

Hello,
my moto voice stopped working and even a factory reset didnt help. So I unlocked my bootloader and everything from the Rom I downloaded. I got an error upon flashing the modem, but the script sadly still deleted modemst1 and 2. Everythng works now, except the phone is now Brasilian and I have no signal whatsoever. My Moto is a XT1092 if it helps. Help would be much appreciated

Indeed yo may killed to modem/radio, probably your carrie does not support the same bands as the retail brazil carrier. Which carrier are you?, all gsm bands still may work unless you have CDMA.
Regards

Im currently using o2 germany. Just got off the phone with the Repair company and they said if i have root or unlocked bootloader its fubar and they wont repair it. WTF....i found brazil or us stock firmwares, but no german one...

I doubt it is broken. But it may not work until you find a stock original ROM to flash. Maybe you should look for a UK or FR ROM , I believe there is only one ROM for xt1092, not a specific German one. It might be called EU ROM, but I haven't searched for it.

The Build that was running on it before definitely ended in DE. But I will keep searching for it. Do you think I should send it to a repari center and risk paying a lot of money, or should I just wait until a German Rom is released somewhere? I mean, Android L at least should fix it right up again.

Because you are not stock you won't be able to update it to lollipop... For the repair center you are the only one to be able to answer that question

I am stock, I actually managed to get my TWRP Backup back on the phone, so im on a German Rom again. Still, the modem doesnt work, as TWRP doest back that up.

I see... You have to find a stock radio and to flash it again.
I think someone with unlocked bootloader can probably extract it for you?

Yes exactly. I do not know how someone can extract the radio though...
I hope, Android L will flash a new modem. If that would be the case, my problem would be solved

Yes but again: if your modem not stock then no android L for you.

I know that, but I guess there will be someone who can grab the OTA and i can flash it manually

Good guess you're right. But I suggest you to ask someone with a xt1092 and an unlocked bootloader to extract radio for you, ask it in the dev section.
