[Q] Which official ROM's (RUU) are European?

Hey!
Now I've finally gotten my Incredible S, and so far I'm happeh with it.
But, I like to try new things and Sense 3.0 looks way cooler, better, smarter and everything and I've searched the forums and google for some answers but seems like no one have asked before...
3; (this one has nothing to do with Sense, but I still want to know...) Which official ROM RUU's from the collection thread are the European version? All those numbers and **** makes absolutely no sense at all. On the ones from Asia it says (pretty clear...) "ASIA", but from Europe I can't find anything that says the ROM is from Europe...
And by my first question I mean if it's worth doing the precedure for S-off and flash new radio (seems like that's something you have to do...) and all that.
And before someone rages; YES, I'm a noob. This is my first HTC device, and my old phone didn't have a locked bootloader so everything was so much easier and therefore I had to think less.
Thanks in advance! Hopefully someone can make me a bit smarter.
(EDIT; changed topic name and my first and second question are kinda solved for my case, now I just need to know about those damn RUU's .___.)

Hi guy,
I flashed a sense 3.0 rom (Virtuous Unity) and now i'm really happy with it. I was really anoyed by the lockscreen not so locked when you keep your phone in your pocket.
For the alarm clock i don't know as I don't use it.
Finally for S-Off that was pretty easy using alpharevx.
Hope this help.

Thanks for your reply
Well, I've gotten an answer from a friend and there's two buttons now to press instead of sliding down for turning off the alarm, and press a mini-button to snooze.
About the alpharevx, it is nothing to be worried about?

I was looking forward to a way to S-OFF my phone since I got it.
When the first beta of alpharevx was out i stayed tune and until now i never read about a bricked phone. So i would say it's pretty safe.
The only thing you have to think about is warranty void.
PS: You're welcome for the answer

Well, flashing an official ROM makes the phone S-On again (if I understand everything correctly) so that would not be a problem, I have an SD-card somewhere here if I need to make a goldcard ^^
And you don't happen to know which RUU that I should flash if I want an European ROM?
Wouldn't be so funny for me if I find a ROM without English... :/
As soon as I can find out which ROM that's from Europe and which ROM that's from Austria, I'd be a little bit less nervous about this whole thing...
Anyway, thanks for your help! Seems like using alpharevx is pretty safe, so I think I might do this anyway

Nop, don't know anything about official ROM codification.
Also interested to know if someone can explain.

Hopefully someone might answer to that question!
But, thanks for your help! Now I'm gonna have an internal fight in my mind to see if I'm man enough or not...

WWE = World Wide English. As far as I know that's the edition used for Europe.

Thanks!
And that means that any official ROM with WWE in the name and it doesn't say "Asia", then it is an European?
Sorry for asking such a dumb question, but I just want to make sure

If someone's wondering; I finally got my finger out of my ass and S-Off'd successfully on my 3rd try.
took a couple of tries before I succeed to flash recovery (pretty different procedure from what I'm used to...) but now I'm backing up my current ROM and I'm going to flash virtuousomething like that, wish me luck!
Now, let this thread die in peace. I've gotten my answers (kinda, but good enough for me) so I'm happy.
Thanks all for your answers, and I've never been this nervous in my life...

Which operator
Ok, so we know what WWE means. How do you know what operator and specific country it is for.
I am looking for the original Vodafone UK ROM.

The WWE ROMs are not operator or country specific. As far as I am aware, no network in the UK ever released a branded ROM for this phone as it's only ever been sold by third parties (Carphone Warehouse being the main one) and never directly from the networks themselves.

I use the Virtuous Unity 1.29.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid and i'm satisfied.

Well, good for you...
I just have to ask you though... what, exactly, does that have to do with this topic?

[Q] Incredible S latest ROM, Sense

Hi all,
I have Incredible S, all from the factory (software, Sense..etc)
I would like to know step by step how to :
1- Install a new ROM.
2- Having the news HTC Sense 3.5 on it and also if that have any negatives or if something might not work.
3- The latest ROM I can install.
4- Any additional info you think I should know as I am new to Android and HTC world.
Thank you,
Michel

The best bit of advice I can give you is search, search, search! All the info you need dude has already been asked and answered so hit that search button and spend a bit of time finding it out for yourself. Best place to start is the development forum where you can learn and download many different ROMs and find out which is the best one for you. Good luck...and welcome!

yep, you are right,
but sometimes when you are totally new to something you need some help at least with knowing the name of the best ROM as I've found many of them with different issues.

Go read the sticky threads in the Dev section. You have some work ahead of you before you can flash a custom Rom.

Yes, I went, and all is ready, my PC and my mobile,
the only thing I need is a ROM which doesn't have problems and won't effect my device plus a new version of Sense.

Ok, then nandroid backup and start flashing Roms then. Only you will be able to determine which Rom will fit your criteria. What you may think is a 'problem' on one Rom may not be that big of deal to someone else, so just start trying them yourself.

Problems like WiFi, Camera, SD Card, Backlight, Bluetooth.. all these are problems which I think might be issue for all users .
only a starting name would be enough to me

I would agree totally with all of those which is why I personally have not even tried any of the Sense 3.0 Roms. IMHO the current GB 2.3.3 Rom with Sense 2.1 runs just fine on my IncS so I won't be able to offer you any suggestions.

Revolution HD has no known issues download that and stop complaining. There is no "best ROM" try them all, the only thing you have to lose is bandwidth and time.

I use Newt pyramid beta 3 sense 3.0 gb 2.3.4 its stable, crazy fast, as current as you can get, and if you check the last of the comments almost all of the bugs have been fixed.

My thoughts too, the only glitch that bugs me is that I sometimes lose my gsm signal here at home. I don't think there's a fix.

try a new radio...
I find the 20.2810 one has great signal

Is that a newer one than I have now? I received a 30mb update recently. Any negatives effects with it, battery life?
My current radio is 20.208.30.085AU_3805.06.03_M

yeah it's the newest. I think it works perfectly and has the best signal of all the radios I've tried

Right, I might have to look into that, just hopes it improves things for me.
I'm still considering returning the phone though due to the signal drop outs, I'm a bit reluctant to root or do anything that'll stop me from being able to return it. Can I take it that running an RUU will put everything back to stock, including radio and S Off?

Yes. If you root using AlpaharevX and not a permanent root using a gold card then flashing a stock RUU will bring you back to S-on. Give it a go, I did, happy so far and have the stock RUU downloaded and ready to go if need be.

I don't think I need a Gold Card with it being a sim free unit? So it should be just a case of following this guide http://is.gd/5wKZRZ and then flashing a different radio?
If I don't like the results then I should be able to run an RUU to get me back to stock?

Back up your current ROM just incase you f*ck up and get going flashing some ROMs I only flashed Android Revolution HD yesterday after asking the community a few questions and look forward to seeing how it goes, check out some of my posts for some of those questions if you want. If not happy will try something else and always have a carbon copy of my original stock ROM to restore if need be....simple

Help needed regarding HTC One rooting

I have a HTC one which I bought from bangkok(I live in India though) and found out here it was actually rooted already with Venom Tweaks (ViperOne 1.2.1) and thus I don't have the original stock phone(Though I don't mind if what I have in mind is possible, that is upgrading). I wanted to try out a different ROM(if that's what it's called, as in the firmware for the phone.. sorry I am relatively a complete novice in this field) and see what it has to offer since I am having a few troubles, like whenever I go in there it asks me to pay and sometimes the screen just kinda freezes when I pull down the slider. So I have a few sorted out questions as below:
1. Is it possible to upgrade or change the basic ROM(ViperOne 1.2.1 in this case) if your phone is already rooted and has superuser?
2. Which is the best ROM for a enthusiast?
Note: I am very fond of knowledge and will love to learn bout all of this so please provide suggestions for a ROM which has the most capabilities and is considered one of the best by a developer who would own the phone, without regard bout the complexity of its features.
3. If any, please include any links/information that I will need to go about this, I will really appreciate the guidance of a senior member to help me by providing links/info bout how to do this step-by-step and sometimes just to clear up a few concepts.
I would greatly appreciate anyone who would help me in this, thanks.

you phone has been unlocked and in it the previous owner installed a Custom ROM and Recovery
1) yes you can update and you should update the ROM to the latest
the latest version of ViperOne ROM is 4.0.1 LINK
2) best ROM decision is totally based in your own opinion
try variety of them and see which one suits your liking
on xda we can't and we should not compare or debate which ROM or Kernel is the best
and for keeping your phone updated (firmware etc), view some these guides

Goodness, I never expected so much info overflow haha, I am really sorry but I am like a complete novice as I said before. Will it be ok to ask a few more things?
So basically, since I will be able to update the firmware(which I am happy bout).. I just need to understand a few basic concepts:
1. What do we mean by updating recovery?
2. what's twrp? what's the difference between twrp and cwp(or that clockworkmod thingy?)?
3. What link do I need to follow exactly? The first one or the second one?
[Note: Currently my phone is on the ViperOne 1.2.1 but I have no idea bout if its S-off or S-on and whatever else I need to know before I start doing this]
4.Some links I was trying to see was talking bout the dual sim htc one, i have the 32 gb single sim version, is there any difference? can i go with files from dual sim htc one links?]
5. If its absolute necessary to know the basic details of everything, any links which would go back to basics such as stripping down basic meaning of many terms used throughout? aorp etc etc, they all just make me feel dizzy haha
Please try to put this down in laymen's language for me if possible? I will be greatly thankful

first of all you should know your device and every detail is mandatory for safety purposes because without knowing the details you can brick your device
some FAQs: link
1 & 2) TWRP is a Custom Recovery just like CWM (ClockWorkMod)
we need to use latest recovery to flash latest Android 4.4 KitKat based ROMs
3) read the link above because it's quite detailed for S-OFF
EDIT: sorry i gave you the wrong links
read this first here
and guide full detailed guide here for achieving S-OFF
you should get S-OFF for flashing latest firmware (for best performance) for your beautiful One
firmware sometimes contains RADIO(signal and WiFi), TOUCH, SOUND, BATTERY etc drivers for best performance
4) you should stick your single SIM model and forums
Dual SIM model is bit different, don't know how but it is different from single SIM
5) as i already said you should know all the details and terms

I am so thankful to you Kamil, you walked me through every step and I greatly appreciate your help, I am really thankful to you for this, you are awesome!!! :good:
Now have ViperOne 4.0.1 ROM with Latest Firmware and EliminatorK kernel along with customized splashshots and boot screens. So awesome! YOU ROCK!

S-off question

Before I get flash happy, do I need to be s-off to flash any ROM or just ROMs like vipermod that aren't really official sprint M8 ROMs?
I'd like to flash the Bare bones ROM

You don't need s-off to flash Roms, however it's highly recommended, because s-off can make fixing things much easier if anything gets messed up.

S-OFF should not be needed for any rom...but some roms seem to behave better with an s-off device lol
I would highly suggest getting s-off if you can

I tried, gotta wait to a new exploit or method is found. Thanjs , running viper now. This is my first time having to deal with S-on.

[Q] Several Questions Please Help

I bought an HTC One (M7) second hand. The previous owner had rooted the device among other things.
It's currently working on Rogers network.
Can you help me find out what the original software version/carrier was on it?
I was thinking of using the latest Rogers RUU but I don't want to wreck anything.
Is there anything that may hinder me from using the RUU?
The phone shows, S-On, *Tampered*, *Unlocked*
Please give me any advice you can and I can clarify anything you need.
I have experience flashing roms on other phones this one seems more complicated.
My main goal is to have a stable Android 4.4+ on my device.
Thanks!

You're saying I should leave it alone and just flash a custom Rom vs a stock one?
I actually like that idea.
But, if I wanted to go stock in the future could I just use the RUU or would I need to do some other changes first?

Yeah just install a custom rom.
I need to go back to stock for warranty still trying to figure out what to do execty.
there are some guides on how to do that. but since you have a second hand I don't think you will have to ever go back to stock for warranty issues
