Hello all,
I just received a brand new Thunderbolt (my last one broke). I just booted it up. It has these specs:
Android Version:
2.2.1
Baseband version:
1.39.00.0627r, 0.01.69.0625r
Kernel version:
2.6.32.21-g0606a3a

Thu Apr 14 11:59:44 CST 2011
Build number:
1.70.605 CL343953 release-keys
Software number:
1.70.605.0
My question is, shouldn't there be an update? Or is this as recent as it gets? (I thought Gingerbread....?). When I check for new software updates, it says none are available.
Sorry for the newb questions!!
The OTA for gingerbread was suspended.
Root...
My name is Revos I'm a recovering flashaholic running Liquid Gingerbread 3.0
The phone will check for any updates and if available, and you tell it to proceed, will update.
You can force it to check manually too: Menu (key), Settings, Software Update, Check new
yea my buddys having the same problem. he kept ignoring the update notification, now wants to use Talk to video chat, but cant get the update. im looking into the possibility of him downloading a file and renmaing it pg05img.zip and flashing it through h-boot, since hes not rooted
From what I read, the 'official' update from VZW didn't include the video chat option in GTalk.

I can verify it's not on there. I loaded the update onto a friend's phone.... Before it was suspended.
Renaming files pg05img.zip and trying to flash them willy-nilly won't work either if hboot is S-On.
Flashing the ruu worked on my buddies phone. It was unrooted. It said *locked* the whole time which scared the s out of me but I got him on 2.3.4 by just flashing that

Does anyone know when Orange HTC Hero users in the UK are getting the Android update from 1.5 ? Is it to 2.0 or 2.1 ?
I'd like to know if and when this will be available for my phone. Here's my phone details:
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
Kernel version: 2.6.27-430d1aea htc-kernel and18-2 #959
Build no: 2.73.61.66 CL#82177 release-keys
Software version: 1.0.0.A6288
I don't really need to unlock my phone and would like to wait for an official release. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm a noob and there's no info on the HTC support site.

Definitely. Have a play whilst your waiting, try some different ROMs.
Use BTDAG's guide linked in my signature, it has everything you need to know. I recommend it to any beginner.
Thanks for the info guys. I think I'll wait if it's just going to be a couple of weeks.
Just phoned HTC Support. They said there's no official confirmation of the release details, but unofficially, here's what they said to expect:
* v2.1 to be released. Release scheduled for June. Wouldn't be more specific about date.
* Improved bluetooth implementation, inc file transfer.
* Release likely to comprise of preparatory updates, followed by main ROM update.

Thanks to Geoff M for setting this up. Sorry, but this forum site won't let me post a link.
Alright, I'm not quite sure if my phone can be rooted or not, based off of the various things I've read.
Firmware: 2.1
Kernel: 2.6.29-8a03cb9a [email protected]
Build Number: 2.37.605.4 CL185970 release-keys
I got the phone directly from Verizon about a month or so ago, and it came with 2.1 preinstalled. Is there any way that I could root my phone to some version of 2.2?
Thanks!

Ha, sweet, I was able to get a new ROM up and running. Thanks for that link!
Okay I got a notification that there is a system update available. I am currently at:
Android Ver. 2.3.4
HTC Sense Ver 3.0
Software number 2.08.651.2
Kernel ver 2.6.35.13-g84f8edd
PRI ver. 1.31_003
PRL ver 21081
H-Boot 1.5
I am not sure what this update is. I have not rooted yet, but plan to. I know I already have to use the HTC unlock, but want to make sure that this update will not keep me from using any of the methods we have to flash kernels. Anyone know what this update is and if it could prevent me from doing anything in the future?
Bob
The .3 update won't keep you from using htc's method.
It is the security update to patch some of the dangerous security holes caused by Carrier IQ.

I would never do any ota updates. any update worth putting on my phone can be done by the devs here.
Thanks. I have no need to root right now. I don't need to tether yet and the ROMs I want are not yet ready for the 3D. Plus I am hoping they come up with a way to do a full s-off rooting and don't want to do anything now that I cannot undo later.
It's been several months since I initially rooted my EVO. I did the dumb move and updated the firmware and I lost the root. Here are the specs of my device:
Android Version 2.3.4
HTC Sense version 3.0
Software Number 2.08.651.2
Baseband 0.97.10.0808
PRI Version 1.31_003
PRL Version 21087
Kernel Version 2.6.35.13-g84f8edd

I honestly do not recall how I rooted the device previously. However, I do know that I tried in vain to root the device after the firmware update. I tried to unlock (I believe that is the correct term) the device using the HTC Developers website but I always get stuck on the last step.
I believe the last time I tried to unlock/root my device was back in January. Since it is basically June, I was hoping there have been some updates. I am not tech-savvy and the newbie guide seems a bit intense. Can someone walk me through, in layman's terms, what I can do to permanently unlock/root my device?
Hi all,
So I've been S=off for a year or two and have jumped around between ROMs with no issues as far as sprints network is concerned.
I recently switched to T-Mobile (One M8!!) and decided to give my phone to my sis since she lost hers recently. She's on Sprint.
We've been able to register or "activate" the phone online and through the phone. The problem is that calls don't come through. We get getting the "we're sorry you're account couldn't be validated" message. Could it be that my prl is out of date? Do I need to unroot?? Any help is greatly welcomed.
Model: EVO
Android verison: 4.4.2
Baseband version: 1.12.11.0809
Kernal version: 3.4.82-g15c16ed [email protected] #1 Fri Mar 28 23:45:5 PDT 2014
CyanogenMod version: 11-20140329-NIGHTLY-jewel
Build number: cm_jewel_userdebug 4.4. KVT29L d5e6ae85e4
PRL version: 25017
Thanks in advance for your help!
You have to be on a stock ROM to activate the device.

You probably need to flash a stock, sense based ROM to complete activation.
Edit: I see Captain answered just as I did.

Thanks for your help!
Are the stock ROMs available here?

Practically any Sense ROM will work. Just take a look in the development thread and find one to flash. It's highly advised to keep a Sense ROM backup handy in case of future issues. There are things you can do on a Sense ROM that you cannot do on a AOSP ROM like CM.
If you're on the old partition setup you can flash the ROM from this thread:
