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.

But i dont really want to root and s-off my phone, it runs good at the moment...
Agree with lost.prophet , download what devs tell you to thats all

Dependant on HTC Europe and you carrier, you will probably have to wait 2 - 3 months for the update officially

How could you not... generally they start with a stable version and increase functionality with every nightly build decreasing the wait time for experienced users between stable builds. As you can see I'm still on 146 and I've been waiting ever since

I highly doubt it will be any time soon and it wont be till after Europe is done getting it. But you never know, your best bet is to phone HTC or bell to get an eta.

So for the first time ICS updates are becoming Asia-centric. Can we expect Taiwan, Singapore & India to get the next updates? Or will they switch to EU, as usual?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA
I think the updates roll out in a geographic circle starting in Asia but I could be wrong.

Do you have to be in a specific region if you have a phone from a different country to get the update? I have the hongkong version of the incredible s but I live in north America so will I get the Ics update? I'm still waiting for it.

I read this some days ago somewhere else but i dont know if its true but....it depends on your CID and IMEI number. It doesent matter where you are or what kind of SIM card you use. I guess every IncS all over the world is checking the same servers for OTA update.
Correct me if im wrong

i doubt it, unbranded phones , like just htc outright ones will get it from htc server, but like vodafone, optus, at&t etc.. will get it from their carriers who branded the phones.

Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
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.
already we updated around the world bye nik

Update to ICS now - thanks Nikhil007
Hi Guys
Got sick of waiting so went ahead and installed Nik_Aura_Rebirth_sense4a on my Incredible S and let me just say its awesome! 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!!!
I've made some how to's for anyone who is interested

Same here,i tried everything,flashing a fresh 350 firmware but i couldn't update the phone via ota.
I have an unlocked bootloader,i locked it but same things.
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
The .434 update was released a couple weeks ago, I guess there are different release schedules for every country.
I had my XZ rooted with the locked bootloader method ( goroh_kun's ), and ota updates does not work.
Updated through Sony Bridge for Mac, it works, but the root access was lost. Re rooted it with the same method and it works
Seriously? I still have nothing even on PC companion. I'm on unbranded but use an O2 sim.

Same here, and Three don't even have any forums to ask how long updates should be taking, it's been three weeks now and absolutely nothing.
I knew Sony would be slow with updates but didn't realise I would then have to wait for Three to push it through! Will probably have to wait at least six months to get the 4.2.2 update! lol
Extremely bad customer service from Three so will be leaving them when my contract is up, can't even use Google to search for any helpful information as a company called 'Three' brings up almost every query regardless of network operator :silly:

Well, I haven't had the update and I will probably never get it! In a German forum someone contacted the customer care of my provider (t-mobile Germany) and was told by the tech-support that t-mobile will not roll out the .434 as their techs thought that it would harm the phone more than it actually helped. So they're waiting for the next update...
Dunno if it's true, but I could imagine that it is, as every provider releases their updates differently, so they might skip one as well...
you might wanna check if they do?

Personally i dont see any benefits. It gets updates a little bit sooner but nothing big. If you get an actual developer edition device though you get 64gb of storage and unlocked bootloader

I just checked for an update on my gc-110 and finally one pops up. I didnt install it yet because I didnt know what it entailed and I didn't want to be stuck not being able to root. Any ideas? I cant find any info. Btw im in the US, if it matters.
No update yet in the UK, so can not help you as yet. Normally USA are the testing people for these updates before Europe gets it.
