[Q] Firmware on carrier models??

So, with 4.2.2 rolling out , I have a question regarding firmware/radios.
I have a T-Mobile One with the bootloader unlocked from HTC Dev and a custom recovery. I still haven't gone S-Off, but I did flash the 4.2.2 leak from a couple weeks ago. My question is, since there seems to be a firmware update - should I install it on my T-Mobile HTC one, and if so, how would I go about doing that (I assume I'd have to S-off/SuperCID since the Tmobo version of 4.2.2 is still a long way off).
Thanks in advance for any answers - I'm mostly concerned since while the S-OFF process looks fairly painless, I'm always a lot more cautious with radios and such than I am with ROMS since the radios have the potential to brick your phone in nasty ways...

Should you update? Why yes. How? Flashing a stock version through recovery. You won't have wifi calling if you rely on it. I'm on 4.2.2, however I am s off. I've yet to understand how people brick their phones by flashing the wrong files. I go to a tread with the file name. The download file gas the name, and before flashing, you have to read the file name. I still font get it. But anyways, happy updating. Enjoy the phone

There's a good guide here for flashing firmware etc. It also has a link to the firmware package from the 2.24.401.1 base.

Hi,
I have follow up question to this.....Since there is no RUU for T-Mobile USA, how would we revert our firmware back to stock T-mobile firmware? Currently all we have for T-mobile are some stock nandroid backups, but I don't believe firmware packages are contained in those.

[Q] C6906 - Supported ROMs?

Hello,
I have an Xperia Z1 - C6906 with a locked bootloader from Bell Mobility in Canada, I am wondering if there is any ROMs that support this model, and if so is there any caveats that I need to be award of for this model when flashing something that isn't an officially released version.
Regards

I'm using Monxdified 4.2.2 version (not 4.3) on my Bell 6906, no problem at all. Just follow the instructions.
Instruction on how to flash this ROM

I keep seeing you need to flash the firmware and kernel for your model, that isn't separate/done after flash - you just flash with the official firmware and then exclude it in flashtool?

I don't think its really worth it in my mind. If flashing custom roms, especially kernals is something you want sell your locked z1 c6906 and opt for one directly from Sony.ca which will be fully unlocked. If we can ever get root on locked bl and 4.3 then you can just "trim off the fat" apps with titanium and make it alot lighter running. I'm in the same boat as you with a 6906 from Bell. Was totally unaware of the locked bootloader lockdown before I bought it and I am suffering the consequence now. 6906's are still going for anywhere from $500-550 locally here so I think I am going to put it up for sale.
Anyways, just thought id share my thoughts as I'm in the same situation as you.
Cheers

Yeah, what I did was downloaded .257 Canadian version and after I flashed monxified ROM in recovery I flashed Kernel and Baseband of canadian .257 version in flashtool.

I am currently on .290 unbranded (I flashed it previously), I don't have the option right now of selling or changing phones so I am stuck with the locked boot loader at the moment. I am wanting to flash Pure Stock so I can get rid of all the bloat.
However the instructions state that I need to be on .534 to get root and install recovery. A couple questions - a.) the only 906 version of .534 is branded Rogers - would this cause any issue with my Bell phone. b.) as I am on .290 with a locked boot loader is there any issue with flashing to an older version?

Nope no issues with Rogers .537 at all. I've been flashing that ftf all the time. However, I would suggest staying away from .290 ROMs for now, because my first Xperia Z1 got bricked badly with ihackers 2.0 (.290) ROM. I had to buy a new one until this gets fixed (cant stay without a phone). I'm enjoying .257 ROM (with full root access) at the moment and not looking to jump into Rooted .290 unless I'm %100 it wont brick my device again.

So I've been playing around the last week or so with my 6906, and a 6806....
I've been able to root and install the recovery easy enough on a the generic .534 build that is in the FTF thread. I believe it's the rogers one... So it does seem to pull some of the bell crap out... Putting the twrp backup data back on, gives me some of the apps back, but it doesn't seem quite as bad. At least you can then uninstall it if you don't want it. <G>
However, I've been trying to get up to the .290 builds that Nut has been providing. However, on every attempt I've been getting to a soft brick, when I use the flashtool to put the Kernel and baseband on.... Reflashing the .534 build at that point, gets me up and running again without any issue.
There is a generic 290, and new 132 build for the canadian 6906 that have been posted, but no root.... If you want stock and no mods.....
I haven't tried anything else at this point, since I'm still getting my feet wet.

Hey guys I hate to resurrect this thread but can you point me in the right direction on finding a stock Bell FTF. Even any old ones that I can upgrade to after. I tried a generic CANADA one but for some reason its still show as a US after a flashtool. I need to go back to stock to send my 9606 in for warranty and dont want them to blame the firmware for hardware issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

[Q] Unrooting my HTC One

Hi Guys, I just got the phone (international/ non-carrier version) yesterday. Updated it to 4.3, and rooted it, following the guide from HTCOneRoot.com.
Everything is fine and dandy, as when I rooted my previous phone. But in my sheer eagerness, I didn't find out that the 4.4 was available also.
I now have a rooted phone, and I can't update it, as it goes directly to TWRP recovery when I try to install. I guess this is what it's supposed to do?
From what I can read you cannot install OTA when you have rooted your phone.
So I tried looking up how to unroot it. But this seems like a rather difficult project, and I am not sure I understand. From what I read I need to download a RUU, to install a stock rom(?) and I tried looking up this, but there are tons to select from, and I haven't the slightest clue which matches my phone. Can anyone be of assistance, as to how I can revert my root and update to 4.4, so I can root my phone with the latest android, instead? I'm not really interested in getting a custom rom on my phone.
Guess I should've read more about rooting before doing it, as I'm kind of a novice, but I'm more a trial and error kinda guy .
Thanks.
Edit: Or should I just find a custom "stock" KitKat ROM, and install that, from my current position? Is that even possible?

Sort of an answer

Hey man, so to find the right ruu go here htcdev webiste, go under kernel source code and then choose device as the one and then choose carrier and download one of the matching ones.
For the other stuff I'm in the same boat as you. Just waiting for answers...I would try looking at youtube and type how to unbrick htc one and try those first. Didn't work for me but might for you.

Thanks. I'll look that up.
I am not bricked, as the situation is now. I just have a rooted phone, working with 4.3. And I want to upgrade to 4.4.
So I guess I have to choose HTC as carrier? I live in Denmark and am unsure whether to choose EU or EU NFC as region? Also what kernel version do I want to download? I am somewhat unsure what to do next.

Do a fastboot getvar all, and choose the RUU that matches your MID and your CID

I've only rooted my phone so far. From what I understand I can just install a "custom 4.4" from this point, right?

hola

Hello guys! I am new with the AHD and I wanted to know if its sure to update to stock KitKat with Motorola software, Im asking because I want to root my phone and install a ROM, but in the rooting tutorial it doesn't say a thing about if its safe to update or not

The Atrix HD is supposed to get the Kit Kat update sometime this quarter.
You probably will not be able to update to the official kit kat using Over-The-Air (OTA) unless you are running a stock ROM with stock recovery.
To install a custom ROM, you should root and unlock your bootloader. Remember, unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty.

To follow up what audit13 said, you will most likely need to flash your phone back to complete stock in order to be able to update to the official KitKat upgrade when it is released later this quarter. The good news is that, with an unlocked bootloader, it's a fairly painless process.

+1 for an unlocked bootloader; however, unlocking will probably void any remaining warranty.
I unlocked my bootloader about a week after I got my Atrix HD. I used it for a week to make sure it was functioning properly, hardware-wise, and then started flashing custom ROMs.

[Q] How to install Lollipop?

So I just bought the XT1068 and I know that the L update is still not released in India so how can I flash it instead of waiting for the OTA? Any step-by-step guides would be helpful because I am quite the noob. My phone is brand new, just removed out of the box so please tell me how to flash the update.

Mate, I'd hold on a bit if I were you . You have to unlock your bootloader to flash these ROMs. Unlocking means losing your warranty (special case in India :crying. And there's also tiny bugs in those ROMs.

It all depends - while I will leave the research up to you, I was able to update without unlocking the bootloader on an xt1064. The trouble is that all the pieces have to fall into place correctly, meaning that you have to have the right update file for your build (and YOUR device - xt1068). My update process was haphazardly documented here. Basically, I started out with a carrier locked (Consumer Cellular) version of the phone, running their specific build. I unlocked the phone's sim lock via online vendor, flashed over the latest factory firmware I could find at the time (21.11.23.titan_retuaws). from there, I installed the specific update to go from 21.11.23 to 22.21.25 (where I am now). but that's the kicker - you need the OTA files that correspond to your exact build(s) and there may be more than one to get you all the way up to current.
Anyway, I did all of this using official, signed OTA files and firmware and more importantly, with a locked bootloader.

NIIIICEEE!!!!!! But the problem here is, we don't have Lollipop OTAs for XT1068/69 to do that.:crying:
