[Q] OTA delay

Hi.
I've come to notice that every time an OTA update is available I'm the last one to get it. In December when Sense 3.0 update came out I only got it about 2 months after the official update announcement. And now it looks like it's happening again with the ICS update.
Anyhow I bought my phone second hand, and how can I now to which region it belongs? Is there a way to know how long do I have to wait for the update, or how top get it faster.?
Hmmm.... why does even HTC bother with this region nonsense.?

Please an answer to this?
Im 100% new here.

So far it looks like only some European countries have received the update, and only for WWE phones, to find out if it's a WWE phone you can check with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
If it's HTC__001 you have a WWE phone. I live in the UK and haven't got the update yet, but I'm hoping to get it at least this week. If your phones not WWE, then it'll probably take even longer for your update to be released.

Can you give me the steps to get in fast boot please?

since all you're needing is the cid, just go grab CID getter off the store. It's free and will tell you your carrier ID and thus who you're beholden to for updates.
As kouroshp said, if the CID is HTC_001, you have a WWE phone (SIM-unlocked and purchased from HTC, rather than via a carrier) and get your updates straight from HTC and thus you're likely to get your updates soonest.
If it isn't, then you know who to bother about when you'll be getting the update.

Either download the Android SDK or these files, either should give you fastboot.
Power off your phone, power it back on holding the power button and the volume-down button, select fastboot from the list (using the volume keys to navigate and the power to select), then connect your phone to your PC.
Then open command prompt, change to the directory containing fastboot, and enter what I said in my previous post. Select reboot afterwards.
EDIT: Or what compro01 said, got there before me

I noticed a link that was posted on the other thread. Is this for all phones?

What this means is you have a XTC Clip'd IncS, but you have the North American version based on the BM___001 value.
The NA IncS is modelid PG3212000. The update is for the modelid PG3213000, so the official OTA would fail with device id error.
The good news is since you are S-OFF/carrier unlocked via XTC Clip, you can force the WWE version of 3.11.405.2 on your phone and then force the ICS OTA.

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I understood half of what you said...i'm completey new with android and hacking but from what i understand my model of HTC isn't the on compatible with the OTA update but since i'm S-OFF i can force the update using recovery boot and forcing it to launch the instalation?(Using this file i assume)

First you have to get the latest version of GB 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 installed on your phone. This will be WWE 3.11.405.2. This is the only version that the OTA file will upgrade.

Can you please give me a link to where i can get this wwe file and how to install it?
I've searched for one and found this

[Q] I need help, I'm totally lost ..

Hello everyone.
I'm new to xda. I'm french and there are very few things in my language on this phone, so I just get information here (sorry for my english .. ^^)
I do a lot of research to answer my questions, but I'm a little confused, if you could help me put all clear
I have a Htc One version 1.28.163.3, I want to update to the latest version (1.28.401.7 I think), what should I pay attention? The CID (what it is, how I find)?
An official stock rom installs as a Custom ROM? It is there a site to find the official ROM without using xda?
Thank you to whoever wants to help me

have a look here dont no if it will help

Thank you, at least I know it is absolutely necessary to install a ROM with the same CID as my phone. How to know my CID?

Install this on your phone and run. It will show you which CID your phone has. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tritonsoft.cidgetter

I tried this app, but it gives me "CID is: [VODAP203]" or I have not seen any CID appear that way and I do not find a match ...

I found a tutorial in my language I was able to unlock the bootloader, activate the Root, to understand the origin of my CID. The goal was to make a Debranding and installing a RUU to have a phone Stock and able to enjoy the OTA updates. But change CID does not work, the operation works and there is no error, but the CID remains the same. This would apparently because of S-OFF. Can I change the CID or not?

where would we get the RUU for the HTC ONE?????

There are many links on the forum. But I took this one : http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/fi...2706-1027112701-release-308001-signed-2-4exe/

You can't change it until S-OFF is achieved which shouldn't be long considering many brilliant developers want this phone and that it is a Qualcomm device.

You think S-OFF will not take a long time before coming?

As far as I'm aware the **tampered** flag is there in the same spirit as the yellow triangle on Samsung devices, exactly so they can tell you've unlocked and modified it. Unfortunately, I do not believe there is currently a method such as with triangleaway to get rid of this on the One yet. You'll just have to chance it and send it back as is

That's probably why I don't find anything about how to fix that, However if this is a dev phone this should be allow that's part of what developers do I think.

RUU
If you download and the One's RUU from HTC's website, it erases the tampered. I discovered this when I had to restore my device to stock with the RUU.

Should be to download the RUU, run the RUU. The bootloader needs to be relocked.
After you set set it back to factory, just unlock the bootloader and you're free to go.
If the exe version doesn't work, the fastboot version should.

You need to open a new thread for this, that is an entirely different phone model. Also, list exactly what you did that caused the problem. People will help, but you need to be in the right place.

Forum rules prevent us from making recommendations on ROMs. Just go over to the Development Section and start reading the first post of each ROM. When you find one that you like then flash it and try it out. That is the sure way to know!

if you can get s-off, then why not just use an unbranded stock rom, very easy to do once you got s-off and will come with no bloatware or branding, doesn't get anymore stock or faultless than that, plus you'll get OTA's and still beable to root it, just like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54865512&postcount=8

Your phone is s-on, their is no RUU that will work with your phone
use this GURU Reset and choose yes to stock recovery and radio and no to root during install
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358543706
it's also a good idea to factory reset before flashing the Guru Reset
Also you need TWRP 2.6.3.3 to flash the Reset correctly

It all depends on when you updated the phone before flashing custom recovery
if your on 5.11.401.10 your phone should update normally ...this software matches your CID
However if your on 6.09.401.5 and it tries to update it will most likely fail
I'm not sure how many .401 updates their are after 5.x
