I am using an incredible s on Virgin Mobile Canada. I am being told that this device is not being updated to Android 4.0. Instead, HTC told me to go to htcdev[dot]com/devcenter/downloads to download the operating system. I have a couple questions;
1. What region do I use; TW, WWE, AU, TUR, SPA, HK CHT, CN CHS, etc. ?
2. What description number; 4.08.1400.5, 4.14.980.2, 4.10.708.1, etc. ?
And most importantly,
3. How do I do install the new operating system on my phone?
Would be a great help! Thanks! :cyclops:

Thanks, But on the HTCDev site there is only a CRC. Is this the same? Will it update to ICS? If not, can I use an RUU for another device instead?
and is it possible to do on a mac via the htcdev website?
and does the phone need to be rooted?

Virgin Mobile gave you bad information. At the HTCDEV.com site, you will only find the kernel source code for the devices. HTC no longer has a public download site where you can download the actual RUU (ROM Update Utility).
You need to go to the Development section and look at the "Shipped ROMs" sticky thread. There you will find a link to a site that has several RUU's for the IncS. You probably want to get the ICS WWE 4.10.405.1 RUU.
Upgrade, deregionalise without GoldCard?
QUOTING FROM THE DEVELOPMENT THREAD (I'm not allowed to post there):
Default HTC releases 3 ICS RUU on HTCDEV.com
HTC has posted 3 Incredible S ICS RUUs on [htcdev]
All 3 are labeled 4.14.405.2 and when I examined the N.American/Canadian version here is what I found:
1. android-info.txt lists all IncS modelids and has wildcards for most CID. This means that this RUU is generic and probably could be used on any IncS WITHOUT the need for a goldcard.
2. HBOOT version is now 2.03.
3. A newer radio is included.
ENDQUOTE.
Thanks for this, I've been reading the forums for two days now trying to figure out what the best way to upgrade my Incredible S is. This looks like it might be it, but I would like to make sure -- any advice is appreciated.
I am using an Incredible S from Virgin Mobile Canada. It is running the stock Android 2.3.3 OTA update from August 2011. I left Canada and paid to have Virgin SIM unlock the phone. Since then I have never seen another operating system update notification, I assume because I am now decoupled from Virgin's update server or some such.
The phone is S-ON and that's fine, I do not need anything fancy or custom, at least for now. I would just like my phone to receive stock HTC Incredible S upgrades -- I know there is one for 2.3.5 which I hear is quite good.
I spent last night making a GoldCard -- but now, as your post makes clear, it looks like there is a stock Android 4 RUU that will upgrade my phone and de-regionalise it. Does this sound right? I have downloaded the RUU you linked (they list 3, but I think it's all the same file, which is encouraging since I want it de-regionalised), and I'll hunt down a Windows machine to run it if indeed this is what I want.
Two further questions:
How best to backup the phone? I've seen apps like Titanium but it looks like the phone needs to be rooted. Is it really possible to revert back to 2.3.3 afterwards? From what I'm seeing it looks as though downgrading can be as hard as upgrading.
Do we know if this release of Android 4 is really better than 2.3.5? If it's still buggy, perhaps using the GoldCard and 2.3.5 would be worth it.
Thanks very much.
I understood that your phone is s-on, but do you still have warranty to force you to stay, or you want to try to s-off? I'm asking you this cause if you s-off your device you'll have a wide range of possibilities for roms without need to make a gold card or use RUUs, even with Revolutionary hboot. Also, returning back to s-on from Revolutionary s-off is not hard at all.

The posts above yours were made before HTC posted official ICS RUU's on htcdev.com
[edit] Just noticed all the ICS RUU links on htcdev point to the same file, so there's a good chance you'll be fine.

All ICS RUUs on htcdev are the same, so it's one RUU made for all versions of IncS.

Thanks for the replies.
Regarding S-OFF, I will certainly think about that in the future; for now I'm happy with just sticking to the official HTC upgrades and see how I like it.
I agree that this new ICS RUU from htcdev looks like it will work straight out of the box, as it were. Only my two final questions remain:
1. How best to backup the phone?
2. Is ICS going to run slowly/buggily on my Incredible S (now an older phone)? I suppose the only way to be sure is to try it...
Thanks again.

There have been complaints of ICS running slowly on IncS, that is with the official release, however many custom roms are lightning fast..

I'm on Bell Canada, the above file is a generic Canadian ROM. You'll be missing the Virgin bloatware, but if you need it, you can get it from the Google Play Store.
How are you finding it runs, noticeably better or worse than Gingerbread?

I couldn't find it anywhere on the web with a guide that actually works.
I searched "Update HTC One to 4.2.2" and "How to update HTC One to 4.2.2" and couldn't find a guide that worked...
I'm using the unlocked model that I ordered right from HTC and I did the "Check Updates" thing and it couldn't find any more updates. So I'm stuck on 4.2.2.
I'm not looking to unlock the bootloader or rooting right now, just in case i have to get it replaced.
Can anyone provide helpful insight into my problem?

You either have to unlock the bootloader and flash a 4.2.2 rom, or wait it out until HTC decides to push the update to that model.

USA carriers are the worst for OTA updates, which is why I unlocked my bootloader right away. Then when the international 4.2.2 rom came out, I waited for a bit to see if there was any problems on the AT&T model. There wasn't and I flashed it with no problems. Full LTE and no bloat.

It's possible that the OTA update has not yet been pushed for your device.... it depends on the CID not just the fact that it is a sim free device.
As far as I'm aware no American Ones have yet received the 4.2.2 update

The updates aren't controlled by AT&T though. AT&T has no control over my device. If I had it on AT&T then I would be waiting for AT&T, but since its a HTC direct, im waiting on HTC to push it to my phone. AT&T has nothing to do with this.

there is NO RUU for 4.2.2, you either have to install 4.2 and wait for update
or flash a 4.2.2 based ROM, like ARHD 12.2
Hey up chaps,
I've been on the site for a while and really enjoy the contribution that all the developers and everyone makes. I've mostly read stuff and never really bothered to make any threads or anything, as everything on here is self explanatory.
Anyway, I was just wanting a bit of clarification really. I've read the threads about flashing a new firmware, and the stuff about kernels, but I still have a bit of an issue understanding it all, and how it would affect me.
My understanding is that the firmware controls all the basics of the phone, like touchscreen, microphone, speakers, radio and all that stuff. And a kernel controls the way in which it works. Is that right?
I got my HTC One last August, and then unlocked it and rooted it, and then I put the Viper Rom on it, I think it was last updated to 4.3 Android OTA, the phone is an unlocked european (international) model.
I've often contemplated making the phone S-Off as I believe that gives a few benefits. Would I need to do that to put the latest firmware on it?
Would the latest firmware available on this forum make much difference to my phone? I don't have any concerns with it at the moment, but I'm always pleased when its updated and things work better or there are new features. How would I go about doing it? Would I have to wipe everything, and put a stock HTC international ROM on it to be able to update the firmware? Or could I flash it like I would with a ROM?
I'm not a developer or anything, but I can figure some things out with a little instruction.
I'll include the numbers in the bootloader in case anyone can advise me whether its worth upgrading the firmware/and or flashing a kernel.

Would something like this website be a good first step: http://firewater-soff.com/ ?
Oh, and I have TWRP 2.6.3.3 and Viper ROM 6.1 at the moment. And I upgraded from the standard network unlocked ROM, it wasn't branded or anything when I bought it originally.
My build number is listed as 4.19.401.11 is that something that is related to the ROM or the actual phone? I was under the impression that it was the latter. http://forum.freeware.info.pl/gry/gothic.html
Is anyone able to shed any light on this for me? Thanks a lot.

S-off is good, very good - get s-off before you update to hboot 1.56
will you see any improvements with a new firmware ...probably not
not much changed between 4.3 and 4.4.2 firmware wise

Thanks for that. Good to know. So the best bet sounds to go to s-off and then I can wait for some more developments along the lines, if there are any. I doubt it as this is now an old model.

Yeah. I've been using sense 6 happily on Viper Rom. I don't know whether the incremental android update would make much of a difference.
I heard someone saying that an updated firmware would improve the battery life. I've been looking at that firmware thread and still can't get my head around it.
Firmware varies on performance/battery life. Having the latest firmware might not positively effect your device in terms of signal strength and battery life.
For example I have an AT&T One on their network I always try out the latest firmwares available across the board. Some improve network performance while others drain my battery very quickly and any combination of either or.
If you notice some Carrier Updates include different radio versions when compared to another carrier with the same Android/Sense Version. Those carrier specific firmware updates are released in favor of their network. Not always do the carriers release optimized radio firmwares.
I've tried firmwares releases for the European unlocked HTC One that worked better then a firmware AT&T released.
In the end firmware updates (Radio updates specifically) are a trial & error process of finding out which one works best for you situation.
Kernels on the other hand are in most cases better as they are released. Since they offer bug fixes and performance updates and sometimes offer feature updates that come in handy down the road. Running a custom rom you will use the kernel that the developer choices, some use stock kernels since they offer the best stability. Others recommend using a custom kernel since they offer more features like 'tap to wake' or under/overclock of cpu and gpu... etc
Just like firmware updates, kernels are a trial & error process. Some offer great performance and battery life when combined with particular roms and settings, while others are horrible.
In the end its all a matter of what you prefer and the combinations of radio, firmware, roms. What works perfectly for me might not for you so take suggestions from others with a grain of sand. We don't live with you and don't do the things you do. You might love playing games or taking pictures, while I simply like to surf the web and email.
What you said makes perfect sense. Thanks for that. I do a variety of things on my phone, not one thing over the other, so I'll get the phone s-off and then try out the latest firmware I think. http://m.freeware.info.pl/indy-cat.html
So I'm now S-OFF, and I've updated the bootloader to remove the hboot developmental red warning.
Whats the best course of action now? I've looked into radios, but not sure where I stand with that. My phone is an unlocked international model, and I'm in California on T-Mobile. Would putting the t mobile radio make much difference? Or should I just go with the latest firmware? From what I've read that includes a radio.
This is the latest firmware I would flash isn't it?

Many thanks for the help.
Using T-Mobile radio will benefit you since there tailored to US side of things, but you won't know until you try... Those zip aslong as they have the radio.img and the text file you can delete all the other things if you wish if not just flash them all.

Hey guys,
I've decided to buy a M7. Because my money doesnt last, i've to buy a used one
Well, I like custom Roms and want to install one on this device.
But before I buy one, I have still a few questions:
Are there any special versions of the m7 which dont can be unlocked / crom installed?
Can I install a crom only with a by htcdev unlocked boatloader? What I can with s-off, i can't with s-on unlocked boatloader?
Do i get a higher hboot Version with a higher Rom Version? So if I install 4.4.2 OTA i get the newest hboot?
Are there any differences between the hboot versions? Does a Rom runs better with a newer hboot or something like this?
How is the battery drain?
Thanks for your answers

Can't really answer all the questions but I'll answer what I can:
1. Depends where your m7 was from. Tmobile/Verizon/Sprint had some differences. It affected the way I had to root my phone. Flashing roms should be universal depending on the package you use.
2. Not sure what that means with the grammar bit. You need bootloader unlocked to flash a new rom. Most of them come S-on unless you bought an OEM which may have come S-off. You can flash roms with the phone S-on.
3. Higher bootloader versions seems to come from more later models of the HTC One from what it seems.
4. Bootloader versions seem to affect the difficulty level of being able to turn something from S-on to S-off more than anything for the average joe.
5. Battery drain depends on what you do with the phone and how much brightness/volume etc you were having. I play games on my phone now and I need to charge my phone (from about 10-25%) to about 70-85% about 2-3x a day. I play pretty often (rotating between brave frontier and puzzles and dragons and the like). I also don't charge 0-100% to conserve my battery's life. Also, it will depend on how well the previous owner has treated the phone's battery before it arrives in your hands. If they 0-100% it before many times, you can be sure the battery life is not going to be what was advertised.
Take my ansewrs with a grain of salt because I'm not a dev, but I just lurk and tried to learn to tinker with my phone. Hope it helps.

1) Dual sim variant
2) If u unlock the bootloader, you can flash a custom recovery and root. Even if S-ON, you can flash Cyanogenmod and all Sense roms. S-OFF is needed for GPE based ROMs
3) Only if you're on a stock unrooted One with a locked bootloader, OTA's will update HBOOT. But, if you're on a custom ROM, you'll need to manually flash the updated firmware, which updates HBOOT.
No, there's not really a difference between HBOOTs. Update them if you wish to. No compulsion
4) Battery drain is lesser on custom kernels than on stock
Okay thanks for your answers.
I read a bit more and I read that its only possible to change the cid with s-off. And the cid is important for RUUs. And for some brandings there arent any RUUs right? So its usefull to get s-off if I have a ****ty branding, otherwise its not usefull for me I think.
I've read there are problems with T-mobile brandings, what are their specials?
And because of the battery, I need for one day around 3h display on at medium brightness. I think I will use the arhd Rom. Is this possible ?

Tmobile is GSM. So, its nowhere as problematic as Verizon or Sprint. Plus, Tmobile hasnt recieved 4.4.3, so its on HBOOT 1.56 or lower. So, there's really no S-OFF problem.
I think you'll easily get upto 4.5 hours on stock kernel. Otherwise, custom kernels are also there which have better optimisation
Great thanks. And whats about the purple camera Problem ?Does it appear on many devices? Are newer devices fixed and havent this problem? And do I have still my guaranty for HW problems (like the purple cam) with a by htcdev unlocked device?

When there's moderate/low light, the camera is unable to pick up that original colour. It gives off a horrible looking purple tint. It appeared on quite a few devices, including mine.
HTC definitely wont fix it if its bootloader unlocked unless you have a developer edition. I RUU'ed the phone before giving mine fr repair. Service was excellent; within 3 days, they gave it perfectly repaired.
Im not sure if all newer models are fixed; if you're lucky, itll be alright
Well, that makes me contemplative..
Is the stock Rom very bad Or its useable?
Especially the battery drain interest me compared to a crom.
Because if I havent any guaranty after flashing a crom and there are such Hardware problems.. I dont know if this is worth.

You always have the option of returning to stock. I had a custom ROM on my phone when i noticed the issue. I RUU'ed the phone back to perfect factory settings. You will also be able to do the same. You can regain manufacturer support if you have hardware issues
No, the stock ROM is pretty good. I used it for 2 months before i rooted. The built in power savers work very well; there isnt a considerable difference between stock and custom ROM
I wouldn't say stock ROMs are bad for battery life. I still think custom ROM + custom kernel (ie elemental or bulletproof) gives much better life
i mostly lurk and it has been some time since i posted anything here. i'm not a developer just a heavily dependent user. i have an AT&T HTC One M7 that is over a year old now and am not getting the 4.4.4 update (stuck on 4.3 with software #3.17.502.3) and thinking of doing something different with my device. i dont use the blink feed that comes on the phone (after market launcher called everything me) and other apps for calendar and calling. what is the advice of the group, should i flash a different rom or just stay with what i have? if y'all think i should change, what is a good rom to change to? any and all advice is appreciated.

Sorry, we can not recommend ROMs and the decision to flash or not is a personal one. If you want to update your phone you can find RUU's at AndroidRUU or HTC 1 Guru they are the Cellular ones. Pick the one with the same or higher version number. Or you could visit this thread and get a more updated version.
Just a FYI: to get updates you must have a stock rom, stock recovery, if s-on bootloader must be locked and what ever apps that are being updated must be present on your phone.
