Hello all. I'm new here and definitely new to modifying my phone. A few months back I got impatient and installed a leaked version of ICS on my phone. Now I can't get the official release. When I check for an update, it says there isn't one available. All I want to do is get it to the official "stock" version. How do I do this? I've been reading about S-on and S-off and things like that and don't know what most of it means. When I installed the leak, I found a download link and instructions on a different website and was able to follow them. I would just like some guidance getting it to accept the official release or something that works well. It seems like the version I have has some bugs and doesn't work right all of the time. My current software version is 3.13.605.7 710RD. Thanks in advance.

in order to be able to recieve an official OTA, you would need to revert the phone completely back to stock.
(If you are "Unlocked" and S-on)
1st: Put a Stock rom
2nd: Relock the bootloader

Ok, how do I check if it's S-on or off and where do I find the stock rom? I read (after I had installed the leak) that it was not possible to go back to stock.

Ur right. If you were on say 3.03 and flashed 3.14 while S-On, U can't flash a previous version or else U could brick ur device. However if U S-off , U could revert to any versions. But if ur still on stock, U can S-off and do the steps mentioned above, and the S-On again.

Well there is no Q&A section so I thought I'd post here. My friend had an Eris and he put the 2.1 leak on it way back when it first came out. And then the root was acquired but you couldn't downgrade. So he called Verizon and asked them for a new phone, he got it but it turns out the phone already has 2.1 on it. What do we do now to root it/put other roms on it.
Thanks in advanced.

The root process should be the same as for 1.5, provided you don't have HBOOT 1.49 on the phone (and you shouldn't, since the 2.1 upgrade doesn't write a new HBOOT at the factory).
Give it a shot..

I got my Eris about 2 weeks ago and it has the 1.49 hboot on it. I cannot root unfortunately.
Turn off phone. Hold down "Volume+Down" and press the Power button. You should get a white screen with wording on it. Read the line that has "hboot" in it and post the full details here.

HBOOT 1.49 s-on = BAD no root at this time
I have gone into Verizon stores that the Eris' and I have seen them running android 2.1 with HBOOT 1.46=GOOD.

s has to off in order to root or what
yeah his says 1.49
But I was reading somewhere that once you root you get 1.49, so does that mean his 2.1 is rooted already?

No that just means the firmware on there is the most recent version that blocks the old trick for gaining root on this phone. Well, it kinda blocks it indirectly because you can't flash from 1.49 to anything lower and the root rom is lower. You can't root that phone that you just got from Verizon, and I'm in the same boat as you. We're hoping for a solution soon!
my eris says that it has HBOOT 1.46, can i root?
u should be able too

What carrier?
Need for speed in 3D is pretty good!. Controls are different but you get use to it. There are different 3D settings too, though no 3D slider.
You can select in car. Out of car "depth" and out of far "pop up" 3D. Very nice touch. Runs well too.

T-Mobile, but got the handset from Carphone Warehouse, so the phones unlocked and not a t mobile phone
@felacio Nice , I have yet to play NFS in 3D and Sims, will give them a try tomorrow. Have you noticed any other differences? Like the screen response rate, seems a bit snappier to me.
Jus got the update too
I suppose you guys are still using stock rom?
I am using custom rom and didn't have any updates show up.
Can someone please pull the update.zip and post for us please.
Thanks.
Got the update, but don't know if I should install.
Do you still have root after installing?
Got it to... unbranded phone in Denmark.
Will wait a little bit, cause dont know if root or S-OFF will interrupt/screw up the procedure.
Please report back on proces. Thx.

hi

Its ok

Is it just me imagining things, or has the update made the phone a little faster and more smooth? That's the only difference I've noted besides the games and an updated market. (3.1.5)
Now the bad news... The bootloader has been updated to 49.00018 and when I tried rooting it with Revolutionary, it wasn't compatible with that version.
So hopefully they'll update revolutionary soon. I'll try rooting it with HTCs unlocker tonight, and will report back...
my phone is more smoother and faster than before, nice update
help me...
my Hboot is 1.49.0012

now i just can boot to bootloader..
In order to release your phone from this state I recommend using adb and fastboot on your pc.
I too experienced this when I updated from 2.08.... to 2.17.... Following this I ran the Ruu from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
This was the original stock: I ran this from windows, rebooted, updated using OTA until I was fully stock 2.17
2.08.651.2 RUU http://www.multiupload.com/09NOXKCUN0 Thanks lchupacabras for mirroring!
And this site for current RUU
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/9282-sprint-htc-evo-3dshooter-shipped-roms/
These are .exe files that will reset your phone to stock state for OTA updates.
I'm on Hboot 1.50

thanks you... but my phone is Evo 3d GSM...and my problem is my phone stuck bootloader when i unlock again, first unlock with no problem, then i relock, and unlock again, so it stuck bootloader.
any ideal???
Download
gsm ruu evo3d.
Search on google.it is a program.its pretty big. Install in your computer, then put your phone on bootloader and it should say USB
run RUU program.
You will lose root but it should go back to stock.

I would get an RUU file for your phones current stock version, extract all the img files and flash them individually one by one via Fastboot.
I think that it could work better.

I Replied to your PM, let me know if that works.
I didn't look at the picture well, but one thing I do suggest and that can be cause of some issues over the process is that you need to unlock the bootloader from your phone again.
Hello,
First thing I did when I got my phone before even playing with it was unlock the bootloader in fear I would not be able to later on (was so tempting to have the file and not actually unlock it, so i did). Afterwards I realized i did not run the OTA first and i am on firmware 1.26. I am seeing some blurbs here and there with people stating that in order to update the firmware you need to relock your bootloader and than do the OTA, it is not something that would get done by installing a new rom. I am new to HTC, had the nexus before this and everything could not have been easier. Just want to see if I am understanding this correctly, and would it be wise of me to relock my bootloader and than do the ota and than re unlock.
thanks for your help!

I'm fairly certain that isn't true. You just need to wait for someone to post the stock update "rom".
What is the most current firmware?
I did a software update and found nothing earlier today. I'm on 1.26.502.10
I remember seeing in the at&t forums that people were getting an OTA right off the bat, and in the international they have 1.29.401.12.. but maybe I am just being paranoid? I am on same firmware as you.
I'm not worried about it too much. I'm sure to have a custom ROM on this thing sooner rather than later.

I stand corrected. But the way I see it - if you unlocked the BL, you can back it up, then relock it, flash it, and then restore everything.

Why not flash a custom rom now from the international forum? Or just flash stock international rom?
Something in android revolution thread stated that if u have a different firmware version than what they are using u need to wipe data through aroma.. which i understand.. just was curious about running the most up to date firmware and such.. but if that's just for international. Than no biggie. Plan on flashing this afternoon!

No need to worry about locked hboot when s-off. 1.50+ hboot will say locked becaused that's when HTC added to allow custom roms and disable DRM.

Also to add about themes I'll check them out currently I'm rocking the ready-L theme from the play store looks just like my S3 so cool !!! Thanks again for the info man!
