As I can see some regions have already got 1.18.701 or something like that OTA update. So people just tell me which one cause I still have 1.18.401.
It's not JB right?

No, just improvements to ICS. I'm just curious how far it went, hoping to find out when I could get one.

Got it three days back in India.
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda premium
Just checked and got notification. Its the same old:
This update contains important enhancements and bug fixes, including:
- System performance and stability
- System security improvement
- Camera features enhancement
I wonder why they have to update camera features each time. I bet its more about first two.
Will report if i find anything new.
For now as far as I know India, New Zealand and Great Britain got it. I'm still waiting here at Serbia.

Also Asia WWE (Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand) - CID HTC__044
One more question for all of you, as I know on some other htc devices OTA files are stored on SD card, what about our device? After the last update I found nothing?
This is based on my experience, system enhancement update, there will be OTA.zip on sdcard which we can save somewhere else before we install the update (OTA.zip get deleted after we installed). When there is application update, no OTA.zip as it will be a normal apk download. (still we can save it somewhere else by copying it's from data/app)
I played with my friend's Evo 3D and he has a complete ICS Sense 3.6 update on sd card (300+MB). As I said I found nothing on mine.

I can't confirm about the big update from 1.14 to 1.18 because the DX my friend lent me to play around already updated when he gave me, only manage to save the OTA.zip when there was update from 1.18.707.1 to 1.18.707.3 (small update of 19 mb)
Eh.. this is funny. I already got the 1.18.707.3 updates since Jan 05.

I have disabled the auto check, and just did manual check and the update about 19.1MB was found and downloaded.
But, there was an error when it got into recovery to install the update. First it showed error that update file was not found on SD card. But as I have installed CWM6 revocery, I went into the SD/download folder and found the OTA zip there. I applied it, and it gave signature verification error, after disabling that now I get "assert failed: check_cid(getprop("ro.cid")..." (Status 7).
And install is aborted.
I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted my DX, and using CWM6 recovery posted in dev section.
Can anyone tell me how I can get this OTA get installed on my DX?
UPDATE: I found that CWM6 recovery I have was making the OTA fail. I downloaded recovery on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35031493&postcount=25 and tried the update again. I worked perfectly once I flashed the stock recovery.

Okay so i applied the update and there is NO visible change, and those of you who may know about the white noise (hiss) problem, it is still there.
the only visible change is the version number changing to 1.18.7XX.3, XX being the region you are in and 3 being the third update so far.
please help me too

So we're looking at around June/July I'd imagine for that. It will take until Feb easily to test One S in Singapore etc, then roll out across world, say end of March (being optimistic) then start Desire X.... Will take forever. I get the feeling we'll get the same crap as the old desire: here's a bloated dev rom we knocked together, install at your own risk, there's no space for apps etc. I got another HTC with a lot of reluctance tbh (budget decided it) and expect their usual level of contempt for updates / customer concerns.

That's actually your build number, which is fine. You need to look at your system version. It should be something like 6.11.744.XT910 or something along those lines.
Check that and report back.
the version is 651.73.19.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU

you don't have an update yet.
The recent update for the XT910 was only for the 651.73.15, .16, .17, .18 versions.
It looks like Bulgaria is not on the list, and it might be because of the language on the phone.
The update was recent, December 31st, so you may see it being sent OTA soon, but for now, it looks like you're up to date.
Thanks.So for now I cant put any roms ?
Hi, Just received my new Razr today in U.K. Had OTA update to 651.73.30.en.eu. All downloaded fine.

No, you should be able to still put ROM's on there.
Just to make sure, you're rooted, right??
I believe there are no fastboot files yet for the .19 version, at least that's what I was reading, so instead of just straight loading a ROM on top of this, I would go the safestrap route. This will allow you to load a secondary ROM and access both.
My understanding is while the .18 & .19 versions are different, they're not so different it will block you from loading a ROM.
It should be the same process as ever, root, safestrap, then enable safestrap mode, and flash the ROM.
If you get an error, report back and let me know what it is, and I MIGHT be able to help you through it.

Guys if you haven't received the update yet please be patient you will receive it.
ICS looks good especially the Home Screen. No wallpaper Scrollable function present but overall it looks good and nothing great about it. Have to wait and see the performance.
The interface is okay nothing much new.
HTC will soon announce the Phones which can be upgraded to Jelly bean 4.1. it seems they wont delay like they did for ICS. I'm sure EVO 3D will be compatible with Jellybean 4.1. :laugh:

Someone with a stock Springboard has to catch the OTA update URL in order to let us analyze what's in the zip. Depending on which files are full images and which are patch files, that will determine what needs to be done in order to flash a Springboard from the MediaPad ICS firmware.
If it's like other OTA zips for this unit, it will contain a full set of radio files but some of the system files might be present as patches. If someone can post the URL to that zip I will try flashing just the radio part to see if that stabilizes the radio on my tab.
If we're lucky, the ICS upgrade will be such a radical overhaul that it will include full images of everything we need in the zip.

Hey guys, I recently won a T-Mobile SpringBoard, and I quiet like it. When I got the device I went to System - About Tablet - System Updates (Google), and it said there was an update. So I made it download the update and install it. But it was just a newer version of Honeycomb. For a little over a week now I've been trying to get the Ice Cream Sandwich update but the thing just says the tablet is up to date.
Is T-mobile doing a slow roll out of the update or something? I'm not a T-mobile customer, but I don't think that matters since it did do one over the air update already.
Any clue what's the deal?
Thanks!

- power off (completely!) your device, press 'Vol+', hold it, and press power
- hold 'Vol+' until the green Android appears. It should start updating

New to the springboard and glad to have come across a site that has some information on it. I have been waiting for the update for a couple days now, I also downloaded the update zip that was posted a few posts up. When you say "external" storage, are you referring to an SD card? And I am assuming this can be done on a factory springboard? I would rather do this than wait for the OTA to hit my device. Thanks for your help, this is an awesome forum.
So I just received a 1MB OTA which took my version up to 4.2.1. At the very least, it fixes the missing December issue in the People app. Given the size, I doubt there's too much more in there.
Any performance improvement? Can you run an AnTuTu 3 test?
Keep root? Any problem with unlocked bootloader (but stock cmw and rom, only bootloader unlocked)?

You should get the update eventually automatically. Otherwise (once someone provides an update URL) you can just take the package, and adb sideload it from Recovery (boot device to recovery; do update from adb or whatever it's called; on the PC, do adb sideload UPDATE-NAME.zip)

Then please tell us the exact filename of that zip file. It should look like this:
Code:
123abc456def.signed-manta-JOP40D-from-JOP40C.123abc45.zip
The numbers in front and at the end are especially important.
You can maybe clear data from the Google Services Framework and then try polling for the update.
I just want to know if I am unlocked and rooted will I keep those? I am still on stock recovery and rom, but I did add AOSP browser to system/apps manually so that may need to be removed I believe.

pretty interesting ... so next will be: 2.19.605.2 710RD ... which is of course newer than our previous 2.17.605.2, but it doesn't give much hope for the expected JB release (3.16.605.1)
main changes (as per changelog dec-2013): ISIS support, Software Update and Software Repair Tools are now compatible (?? whatever that means!!), reduced power cycling, improved bluetooth clarity and ... security patches added
that's about it. will be interesting if ANY new custom roms are going to be based on the new release (a new Viper? ) ... but i suppose we still won't get any newer kernel, any JB love and/or updated Sense(4.5) ... as nothing of that is listed in the update announcement
EDIT: checked http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/system_update/droidincredible4glte.html for "benefits" (which is already updated to 2.19.605.2) and "instructions" for a hint on the size of the (this time for _real_ new OTA 2013/2014!) ... but as instructions are still based on our prev 2.17.605.2 update with its 155mb size, there isn't _any_ info yet on the size of the upcoming OTA. ........... and it seems that it was just less than 24hrs ago, when the news about the 2.19.605.2 update started to make its round in the net (and on the verizon page).
I run Viper rom and it keeps downloading and trying to install. Is there anyway to stop OTA from happening?
The viper OTA (about the faked illegal rom) has nothing to do with this
This info above is finally some news about an official OTA from Verizon! (albeit not the bigger JB update we are all still waiting for, but rather only a smaller Bugfix for our current ICS)
update size
according to my phone, the update is only 43.8MB.
I have now lost faith in seeing any real updates for this phone. I am ready to root and try a new ROM. What I'd like to know is if this update will break any of the methods for rooting this phone.
I know this phone isn't much, but for HTC to totally forget it like they have is rotten. I guess I'll have to follow the bandwagon to Samsung or Motorola.

it's HIGHLY LIKELY that ANY previous rooting method will not be working any more AFTER you agree to the new OTA.
@DanPFW: as for HTC, they had prepared a JB update and send it to Verizon ... it's just that Verizon didn't approve it (for some unknown to us reason!!!) ... even the release-number is known, just the actual ROM has not surfaced (yet?!) to the community.
as for rooting and a new custom-ROM ... it's a great and fun device and fairly easy to root & unlock. just that the fully working custom-roms _with_ HTC Sense are ALL only ICS4.0.4 with Sense4.1. Overclocking is easy and stable and a sweet kernel (from user: jose) is available. the newer JB-based custom-roms with Sense5 or Sense4.5 are all ported from different devices and are only partially working, as camera and bluetooth are _completely broken_ due to non-existing (Sense-kernel) drivers for JB. most ppl here are running either ViperLTE2.2.0 (best ICS with Sense4.1 imho) or some AOSP-based custom roms like CM, PacMan, Avatar etc, which are upto at least JB4.3.1 available and nicely working)
EDIT: I hope someone can capture this new OTA for 2.19.605.2 and provide the file here on xda ... for further "analysis"

thanks for the upload ... i just checked its content, but as it's mainly patchfiles (which i dun know how to apply manually to see what's changed) i can only confirm a couple of things for now:
* according to the updater script, it's still ICS4.0.4 ... but now "fireball:4.0.4/IMM76D/278117.2" (prev was: "fireball:4.0.4/IMM76D/111397.2")
* the actual patch-content size is only 15MB!
* whole new firmware package (32MB) ... incl a slightly newer radio: 1.53.06.1009 (was: 1.53.06.0919)
waiting for some more details about the actual OTA changes from others for now :fingers-crossed:

yeah and additionally one needs the (previous) 2.17.605.2 installed ... and unmodified stock-rom to apply the patches (or is there a "offline" way, like on linux or so to apply them safely w/o needing to run it on a Dinc4G). but plz correct me if i'm wrong ^^
we just shouldn't execute/load the whole firmware.zip at once as it is (right now) ... as it might re-lock the bootloader and/or in the worst case even bricks _currently_ rooted/unlocked Dinc4Gs ... that's why I said, let's wait for "the specialists" to decompose the OTA and tell the "common ppl" what can be safely applied and what better shouldn't

i know I cant do it. that's why i posted it.
i know that the asserts nt eh script check each file (and odex) for the right hash before applying the patch.

I'm not that stupid. I run the Viper run and keep getting the download for the Verzion OTA. I thought the Viper rom was suppose to stop Vertizon OTA's, but I guess it hasn't. I just deferred it for now. Wait to see what happens with it, and if its worth while.

afaik only ViperLTE2.2.0 removed the real Verizon OTA stuff ... it still is present in Viper2.1.1

damn, thanks!! :good:
Can we install it if running viper 211? I just got the message and deferred it for now... How can I cancel it if running viper 211?

I'm pretty certain it will mess up the ROM if you run the OTA. Viper 2.2 lets you turn off the check/reminder.

you probably wont be able to install it anyway. im pretty sure it needs a stock recovery to install it. if youre running viper youre more than likely running custom recovery.
Correct... I didn't think ota updates would actually install on phones running custom rom / recoveries
to get rid of the notifications... does the old trick of changing your build.prop work? i can just use this...

also looks like viper rom has a section in build.prop...
"ro.config.venum.enableCOTA=1"... if i change that to zero i wonder if it will stop the viper illegal rom nag (that thread got closed) (and yes i'm still on viper 211 so i don't have the option in settings to disable ota updates).

I decided to just take this as an opportunity to finally upgrade to Viper 2.2.0. I wasn't looking forward to the full ROM install and the PITA that goes with it. Hooray for Nandroid backups and TiB!
If anyone else it thinking of doing the same, make sure you're using TWRP recovery. (Full Nandroid and full TiB backup first before doing anything!). The Aroma installer appeared to work when installing with a CWM-based recovery, but the phone hung up good upon reboot. I looked at the nice white HTC screen for quite a while :laugh:
