I recently bouch a HTC EVO 3D, and would like to update it to the latest available software.
After searching the web and numerous forums about how to update, all it managed to do is to got me confused as hell.
I compared my phones software number with the software number on HTC site, and according to them i should be able to update it, because the current software number is 2.17.651.5 and my phone has 1.20.401.8.
I followed the HTC instructions on update (www dot htc.com/us/support/evo3d-sprint/downloads/) and the first issue i have noticed is i do not have System Updates menu inside the settings on my phone, nore elsewhere.
But i have a Software updates menu inside the About phone menu.
If i run this, it says "There are no updates available for your phone"
Clearly there is something wrong! Or maybe i am just missing something, but what ?
Do i have this issue because it is an unbranded phone ?
I would really appreciate any useful tips and our thoughts regarding this, and please do not flame, i have done my search, and it led me nowhere
Details about my phone are as follows:
It is an unbranded GSM phone (there is no Sprint or At&t or any other carrier icon to the right of the htc icon on the front, and it works with all sorts of sim cards from different carriers - currently mine is Orange -Romania)

Hi All,
Hope some one can help me.
I rooted my HTC EVO 3D GSM on ROGERS about 6 months ago,
Problem is, I can't install updates and the phone is acting up very
weird.
I want to Un-Root my phone and get it back to stock or original the
way it came from Rogers, but I can't seem to find the right info on
here, some of it is very very technical, and I'm not that savvy.
Can anyone help me with the most simplest step by step way to un-root my phone.
By the way, my phone is still locked to ROGERS.
Thanking everyone in advance for your help.

hi, Also with Rogers HTC evo 3d rooted
I have the same problem. Just wondering if you found a way to unroot this phone and update. Please let me know at [email protected]. Much appreciated. Thanks
It's not hard to unroot, it's just a matter of flashing the original RUU for the phone.
But, why would you unroot it? Just install a custom ROM on the phone.
hi there i just bought a HTC BUTTERFLY X920e from Yiwu China.
I just started using it and there is no issue with any of these voice,sms,mms,usb internet passthrough But The "wifi" ??????.
The problem i am facing is WiFi was able to connect when i opened the package but when i inserted the simcard.
I am not being able to connect to wifi as it start searching,
and never find out the wifi even the one i connected and used before inserting the sim.
it is displaying the name of the WiFi which i used earlier but that's not in range any more.
I tried on almost 5 diffferent Roms on it and none of them able to wifi oprational with a simcard.

I have just received my TF700T back from RMA in Sydney. Problem was failed HDMI port and unusable slowness. Returned to me as warranty ended so I unlocked it. Now I want to install custom recovery and Chromi-X and later (when stable) CM11. However I'm not sure what ROM version and bootloader (both supposedly stock) that I have, whether I need to download and install the latest official ROM first, but the naming used in my tablet info doesn't seem to match any of the download descriptions on the asus website. I have rooted and changed ROM on phone before but thats all, so not very experienced.
From settings /about it says the following:

First of all you are in the wrong forum mate. This is the prime section.
You are on the 4.2.1 bootloader build version 10.6.1.14.4.
It is not the newest version so you can upgrade it to the newest version first if you like.
Also I hear that the maker of Cromi puts in loads of tweaks that either do nothing or he blatantly steals from me and calls his on. Hi Sbdags xxx

Hi all, hoping to get some info regarding manual update. I am new to Android and flashing stuff on mobiles. Been checking out the various forums and havent had any luck finding a solid step guide.
So far what I have gathered information is my HTC is S-on (bootloader says Locked)
Root checker says This device does not have proper root access :/

Everyone points out to this HTC news and download link but where is DOWNLOAD button it is also showing 4.4 Kitkat which I would avoid for now as my goal is to first get 4.3. Reason for that is I have read phone getting brick on 4.4 especially the AT&T ones.
Also if someone verify with the information above if this model has been modified before. ( I got a box packed AT&T sim unlocked, however the place where I am you dont get manufacturer warranty -_- as these sets come from Dubai to India and Pakistan)
