Does it exist?
Is there an update to Android 2.1 as RUU? I have no wireless connection here and not enough MB available to download the OTA update.
If not, I have the OTA as a zip (OTA_Hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.1_R-2.73.405.93_releasephkp3wtd8ykg6hqk.zip). Is it possible to use it to update the phone?

Not yet, but be aware you will lose root if you do so.
I'm sure there's a way to make the OTA work manually, but you'd be much better installing a custom ROM IMHO.
They likely won't make an RUU yet (if ever), as they seem to think it stops us from making custom ROMs, but VillainROM just used the OTA update
Ty for your quick answer.
This is not my phone anymore, as I bought the Desire
But as I sold my Hero to a workmate, I wanted to install the latest updates on it. She doesn't care about having root or not, and with original ROM I don't void the warranty :
Btw she had another SIM with unlimited data plan, so I managed to do the update with the other sim.
OT:
I really don't understand why HTC is so much against custom ROMS. It gives their phones a plus that the other don't have (or had)

Ty very much to you too.
Now I'm already downloading the OTA update with another SIM, or I would have tried it.
yep! it exists! go to shipped roms! it's there the new RUU dated 6/7/2010

My friend got a G2 (Hero) over a year ago and at the time I was not able to root it, so we left it.
Now, I just found out he's still on 1.5! We're looking through the menu's and can't find 'Software update'... so how does he receive the 2.1 update OTA?
Thanks.
What network?
Should have had a push notification that there is an update. Failing that there are threads after threads on here how to upgrade to 2.1.
It's T-Mobile (UK) which is apparently much harder to flash. Not sure I can be bothered with gold cards and such

You won't need to... wierd how you ain't had the update pushed. Do a reset of the phone... I forgot where it is in the 1.5 menu though it will be in settings somewhere! Try.... Privacy.... make sure you backup the data though!
Hmm. You need to use the latest. 1.5 tmobile ruu to update to a particular version of 1.5 before ota will work.

So I sent an email to Telus to ask when the update to ICS for the Amaze would be released by Telus. Here is the response I received today:
Hello Mark,
The Android 4.0 was already released last January 2012.
To manually check for software updates on the HTC Amaze 4G, please follow these steps:
1) Go to Home.
2) Go to Menu.
3) Go to Settings.
4) Go to About Phone.
5) Go to software updates.
6) Select check now. Once an update is available, the following message is displayed: A system update is available, would you like to download the following system software.
Follow the instructions on the screen to update.
Can anybody with a stock Telus Amaze confirm this?? I am rooted and running the energy rom so an OTA update will not show up. Should I revert to stock and see if it shows up?? Or can another Telus customer try it and let us know.
Revert to Stock and check.
If it works then let us know and I will work on more progress

Can someone point me to instructions for this. Do I need to relock the bootloader, install stock recovery? What order? I found the stock RUU but it seems to be an exe file and I'm not sure how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure I don't think you could receive OTA's on rooted/custom ROM phones.

I don't get it. If there is a version of the Amaze out there that got the OTA ICS update then why are there no ROMS for this phone? I mean ICS ROMS?

I am with Mobilicity on a custom ROM, but the phone came from a Telus user. I could have updated before but I didn't know it was available.

I'm sure the OTA would be enough to build a custom ROM off of. You wouldn't necessarily need a complete dump of his device.

Flash this ROM then check for software OTA's.
Highly unlikely Telus released ICS two months ago and nobody found it...but I guess you never know.

Well the OTA is downloaded to the device prior to flashing it to the device. I'm not quite sure which directory but I know I've found it before. He would just need to extract the update zip prior to flashing.

HI
I have a question regarding ICS update. since I have not rooted phone yet and i am stll using stock firmware(rom). my question is if I update to the official ics release will I be able to root it and install custom roms in the future? I am asking this because I am worried that by updating it might update it self to baseband to newer version that cannot be rooted.
Can you please confirm that its safe for me to update so I will be able to modifiy in the future?(bear in mind i have not moddified anything yet(basedand bootloader rom etc and i will want to do these in near future after i read enough tutorials)
thanks

It's safe to upgrade to ICS 4.0.3, because I have done it when I got my EVO 3D, then unlocked & root successfully! So don't worry, but anyway, 2.3.x is more easy to unlock, root & s-off, because my 4.0.3 phone can't be S-OFF.

safe? yes, but not recommended IF you want to flash custom roms in the future.
Much better to unlock bootloader, root the phone go s-off and flash custom roms. The upgrade will change your HBoot which limits your options.

To add to what zcink said, if you have patience, the VM leak custom Roms will all incorporate or realign to the Sprint ota once it's released. The ics we run now through custom Roms is most likely better now than what Sprint will push out and definitely will be better once the customs realign. We just need HTC to release source for better kernels.

JB isn't even in Alpha stages for GSM users.
OP, if you want to upgrade to ICS, use a custom ROM as said before.
Once your HBoot gets upgraded, you'll have a lot of trouble in an attempt to root again.
Plus, custom ROMs are better!
since i bought my htc ONE that it hasn't updated OTA anytimes. i often check software update, but it inform to me no available update. so i have to update it by PC or zip file.
my ONE is unlocked by code when i bought, because i am living in Viet Nam.
You wont get any updates from att using another network in another country

As has already been said. You can only get OTA updates for an ATT phone over the ATT network. It will not work over other networks since they do not supply the update in the first place. The update comes from ATT.
Furthermore it would need to be stock even if you wanted to get an OTA here in the US. With it being unlocked it would still not receive updates.
If you have S-OFF, you can manually flash ota update.zip via stock recovery.
Actually I have the same problem, but in my case i AM connected to AT&T network.... any ideas on whats going on?

Perfect.
Unlock your bootlooader if you haven't already, fastboot flash recovery (TWRP/PHILZ),root using the chosen custom recovery,make a backup before or after root.
Go here http://theroot.ninja/ for Sunshine
S-OFF cause that's what your going to need to update as far as 4.4.4
Orrrr just wait a few days for the ATT 4.4.4 build to be released (ETA 29th) and then youll have 4.4.4 without having to do anything.

I haven't noticed if Sunshine has an update that works with 4.4.4 yet.
Are you S-OFF ?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of S-OFF so the OP knows what he might be missing.
Do you know when the Sunshine update will be?
Yup,no [email protected],[email protected],there are plenty of posts about advantages and disadvantages...my point of view is simple,it is not needed for the novice,ive seen too many mess things due to lack of knowledge. My usage of it is for switching between att and developer ROM's to get latest updates. Outside of that I dont mess with conversions,to risky for a 6-700 device. My advice is stick to htc dev unlocked bootloader and wait for official update.

I didn't Google for to long but I haven't found concrete links that state the exact date .how many times have we been promised a date and watch it pass by anyways.
May I ask if you've modified any other device before this one?
I'm not trying to push,but S-OFF might be in your future and will not halt an OTA from installing.
The version your on is easily exploitable using "Sunshine" unless you take the soon to be 4.4.4 update.
Nobody knows when Sunshine will have an update even with the team working on it as we speak.
Wont be much on Google @date,came from somewhere else. And nothing is ever "concrete" with software,especially with carrier branded software.

I have Rooted, and flashed multiple ROMS to my old M7 before. Nothing crazy.
I as well have the same build, unlocked bootloader, flashed custom recovery. Will I have to return to stock recovery using 1.58.502.1 RUU and to get the OTA update to 4.4.4??
I'm trying to get the latest Android Revolution ROM for 4.4.4 but realized I was in a bit of a pickle. I'd like to take the path of least resistance on this one - any advice would be super appreciated. Thanks!

I'd say wait till tomorrow to see if an OTA update will roll out.
Or if you just can't wait for the ability to flash what you desire than I would go S-OFF and flash a non At&t firmware that you need to allow a smooth function of mentioned ROM.

You can check as many times as you like by setting your time manually ahead and your phone/device won't know the difference.

I'll just say that if it's a stock ruu than it's most likely without root and it will wipe as if it came out of the box.if its a full ruu than it will come with the updated firmware as well witch should allow you to flash 4.4.4 Roms and still run smoothly.
What I did around 5:00am this morning was restore my Dev edition backup I had along with the stock recovery so I could take the Dev edition lollipop official update and now I have lollipop firmware to use with my stock GPE 5.0.1 lollipop ROM/backup .

Yes, running/flashing the 4.4.4 Dev Edition RUU will update you to that appropriate firmware. But, what you linked is not Dev Edition, its a stock AT&T RUU. And its not 4.4.4 either, its 4.4.2, which is probably where you already are.
What you want is the 3.28.1540 RUU linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8-developer-edition-sense-1-54-t2884777
RUU will wipe the phone, install stock ROM (meaning root will be lost) and stock recovery.
But I also think its overkill to run an RUU just to update firmware, if that is the intent. My suggestion is to just run the firmware linked in the following post (which also has great instructions for doing so): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
The above method shouldn't overwrite the current ROM and user data. But backup anything important before flashing firmware, just in case.
Side note, "flash" is a fairly generic term, and as the RUU flashes stock ROM among other things, the term "flash" is appropriate IMO.
So can I just load the firmware file and flash thru fastboot? Is it This one?
