[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

Flashing A ROM despite of different CIDs ??

Hi, I just had a new HTC ONE, it's CID is ORANG202.
I want to get rid of all orange stuff and bloatware.
I wonder wheter or not i can flash a HTC_EUROPE ROm in it.
Of course due to different CIDs and the fact t'here s no possibilit of changing CID os SOFFing the device I know i can't use htc ruu.
Anyway, I did unlock bootloader and Installed CWM and rooted the device. Can I flash now a original HTC europ (not orange rom) via CWM. I know i won t get OTA update, but who cares, as soon as a new update will be available, i'll find the rom here.
nd how to flash with CWM given the fact that the device has no SDCARD ? I always did that from SDs in the past.
Thanks for any answers.
Wish a Good day to everyone.

Yeah you can. Download it onto your phone, go to CWM, install zip, install zip from sdcard (internal) and choose your download folder where it will be.

Thanks for answer. And this is coing to work despite of the fact my phone is orang202 and not the rom ? Which means I m looking forward to see the pure android rom without sense.
Without sense makes sense
And, by the way, still no way to change cid ?
I m sure changing cid would allow me to use ruu s from HTC an ever get OTA...

[Q] GSE Edition What CID Code Please???

Hello, I am going to convert to google edition 4.3 I have decided. I am currently 4.3 with sense 5.5, but i want to be ready for the OTA 4.4 KitKat in a week or 2 from now.
My question is for complete conversion, do i need to change to the google CID or the super CID or will either work? If either, is there any benefit to one over the other?
I am hboot 1.54 and s-off.
Thanks
PS. Anyway have a link to the latest GSE 4.3 Rom/recovery that i need?
Getting late here in UK when I thought to ask about the CID and was planning to look for Rom tomorrow, but seeing as I am here, i might as
well ask...
Thanks again...

If you want to download the update yourself via the phone's built in OTA tool, you'll need to use the GooglePE CID. If you keep SuperCID, you'll be able to apply the OTA using fastboot by booting into the RUUTool. You'll just have to wait for someone else to grab and host the OTA Zip.

Just finished converting my HTC One to a Google Play Edition. I now have a nice clean install, no bloatware, OTA updates, so I should receive my 4.4 update when it rolls out in i believe about 2 weeks, maybe less.
I have a nice warm feeling inside now that my HTC One is soon to be just as good as the Nexus 5 when I get 4.4, until then, I can handle it being a little under par...
Very happy with my choice.

[Q] at&t htc one update from outside the US

Hi
I bought an at&t htc one (m7) mobile from the us
i managed to unlock it with a code. My issue is that the current software is android 4.1.2, Sense 5 and the mobile cannot find the updates (guess because I am outside of the US)
What should i do to get the update
can I download the latest software from the internet and do a flash recovery? or should I flash it with earlier updates first?
Is there an easier way to update?
Can you please explain how to do flash recovery?
Many thanks

You will only get OTA if you are on ATT. To get the update if you are not on att you will have to flash the ruu or root and flash one of the zips.

since you are outside US i would recommend you to flash an international stock rom on to your phone. If you manage to install a stock rom with its stock recovery you can get automatic OTA updates and be running the latest sense 6. but it depends on how much you know and how much you are willing to read and learn.. what i would do
1. s-off
2. supercid
3. modelid: PN0710000
and then install the [SYSTEM DUMP][07.06.2014] HTC One *STOCK* ROM | 5.11.401.10 | KitKat 4.4.2 | HTC Sense 6.0

Thank you all for the replies
I sent it with a friend back to the us because I could not find simple step by step instructions
My friend made the update using the AT&T software update option
However, he did not get the sense 6 or the newest Android version
Does he need to do it several times?
Many thanks

[Q] How to OTA update ATT M7 with different carrier?

Hi, I have an AT&T HTC One M7 with stock 4.3. I would like to update to 4.4 stock(whatever is the latest version), but I can't do OTA update because I don't have AT&T I am using a pre-paid carrier(AIO/Cricket) that uses their network.
How can I manually update? And if I do, does it completely reset my phone like a custom rom? Thanks.

Ota updates dosent reset the phone.
You can not receive ota update if you are not on the AT&T network unless you flash it manually. Flashing ota manually require S-OFF.
You could also use "close-to-stock" custom roms to get the latest version.
If s-off you can also change your CID/MID numbers and debrand your phone from at&t to the WWE or DevEd version to get future ota updates.

I'm familiar with most of this, I had a friend help me update from 4.1 or 4.2. He downloaded an ATT OTA update and just applied it to my phone somehow, I kept everything.
EDIT: How do I change it to WWE or DevED version, or if I do, does it still reset my phone updating this way?

Start by posting the output of "fastboot getvar all" but remove your IMEI and SN before posting.

if you have manually updated via OTA before your phone must be s-off. just flash my updates from here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659374
most likely you'll need to use the 3.xx.502 RUU then the OTApkg

Yea I checked, mine is in fact, s-off.
So I download and install the "RUU Zip M7 UL JB43 SENSE50 MR Cingular US 3.17.502.3-decrypted "
Then install the "ATT_Sense6_OTAPkg.zip"
Correct? Also, will this reset my phone or do I keep my numbers/texts/apps/etc.?

No theirs 2 OTA their flash them in order the RUU then 4.4.2 then the Sense 6 .
Yes the RUU will totally wipe the phone. If you sure you didn't loose the preload/data folder you can try just flashing the 3.xx stock recovery then the 4.4.2 otapkg you won't loose data that way

none of those 3 will files will wipe the phone
using the RUU will for sure wipe the phone, which you may need if just flashing the recovery does not work (IE: Missing files from the data / preload folder)

Flashing a recovery will not generally wipe your phone.
