It's on HTC's website, dated July 7th. I haven't seen any other threads on it, and I wanted to see if anyone else has tried it. I've updated to it myself, and it seems to be an overall improvement over the version I had. There's really nothing much in the notes, though it seems they tweaked quite a bit. Most notably, it's done wonders for my battery life. I used to always come home with a phone that was nearly dead. Now I get home with 60-70% still left on the battery. It could be my imagination, but the phone seems a bit more responsive now as well. If the battery life is anything to go by, it could just be from general optimization of the ROM. Other points of interest... the activesync app is no longer self-launching, and Opera Mobile appears to have had an update as well.

Here's the link: http://www.htc.com/us/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=200&act=sd&cat=all
im in the process of doing it know, ill let ya know what i think in a bit
I tried it when it 1st came out, its definitely better than the shipped rom, but its still got all of the bloatware and other b.s. that interferes with performance. IMO, you're still better off with a cooked rom.
ya i honestly cant tell a different between stock rom and this update
Oh yeah, I'm sure a cooked rom is faster. Just thought I'd put the PSA out there. It does seem to address a few issues for my launch version of the ROM.
one of these day ill get around to putting a custom rom on my phone.
thiers just to many and i cant figure out which one i want
stock
if i have already unlocked my phone and running a custom rom and want to flash to this stock rom do i need to do anything different?
No, just flash as you normally do. Every couple of flashes I go back to the stock rom anyway. Probably just the "placebo" effect, but I've convinced myself it helps.
Do it for the Radio

Notation to everyone here this ROM includes an updated radio. 1.12.20F. So that it's self should be worth it. I run NFS rom but I am going to update to this so I can grab the updated radio. I will then jump to his. My radio is currently 1.03.16F. It also has the later PRL and PRI.
I see the in the Radio Thread in this forum that they have the alltel readio without the whole ROM. So if you want go that route. I have just found that doing a stock flash every once in awhile keeps my custom flashing less problematic.
im still having problems as far as radio signal.........and the only reason i don't just upgraded the radio is their is no alltel dump yet
I also get great battery life after the update.

Agree and better signal quality. Used the Field Test to check the signal.
tell me more about this field test, i would like to see if my signal is better

typing this didn't do anything...all i got was call cant be completed as dialed
One very nice discovery I made today (because of how little I actually talk on my TP) is that they've changed the call answer screen a bit. Seems they took a page from Apple's book and changed the answer and ignore buttons into a slider. You slide it all the way left to answer, and right to ignore. Should fix the accidental answer problem I know a lot of people (including myself) have had.
Will this work on Verizon TP? I know i will have to apply keyboard patch but would it work?
Radio should work no problem, especially since alltel and verizon are 1 now.
I dispise Verizon ROM. No YouTube, No Internet Sharing etc... Got it as a insurance replacement when my Alltel TP broke. They said they don't have Alltel TPs anymore.
Please give me the good news... PLEEEAAASE
PS: I already have GPS unlocked using MR1 release from Verizon.

I wouldn't attempt it if I were you. Have you considered trying a custom rom? If you've never done it I could help you through the process. Stock roms SUCK!
Can i ask you if it works in a touch pro un-locked of the vodafone Italy company?
I have an alltel touch pro but my area switched to verizon now, im assuming this won't be a problem because i didn't need to do any update when they switched so im guessing the radio won't be an issue? Really want to do this if it increases battery.
Also will this remove any settings or themes that kind of stuff?
edit nevermind i see it removes everything.
if i take my memory card out before i update can will all the programs that are one it reinstall? and when i put all my backed up data back on the device do the programs reinstall or do i have to do something to reinstall them?
I don't know if its just me but I no longer have 4G on my TB. I've been using the 704 Radio for a long time and never had issues with 4G. All of a sudden today, no matter what rom I load, I have no 4G. I did call Verizon today for some personal info and there was a recording regarding issues with devices but I forgot to get more info on it. I know I have 4G coverage in my area so idk what's going on..Can anyone Chime in and lmk what they're experiencing..Thanks
i havent had any issues with mine today, have you tried to flash a different radio? or perhaps you should try the ##778# method to turn off 4g and switch the cdma only and then revert back
Moved to Q&A
^ +1
Aside from the typical cliche of reminding you to put your flame suit on, has one considered that it may be location related and had you checked a local Verizon store to determine if their 4G units are experiencing like problems?
The key to basic troubleshooting is to rediscover the basic fundamentals of the obvious solutions, available to you, prior to stepping to the in-depth possibilities that may exist otherwise. - shawnathan9

Just a heads-up...radios are not included in roms. Rom threads simply state which radios they work with but it seems users think that means those roms are including the radio which is incorrect. You will need to flash a radio in bootloader (not recovery) if you want to try a different one.

I've loaded dozens of roms and understand that Radios do not come with any rom. I also know how to flash radios as well. Thanks for your input anyways.

I didn't mean to offend you or anything. Just a common mistake and something in the last comment made it sound like you thought they were in roms so I wanted to mention it. I suppose I read too much into it.
Try enabling Wifi for a while....then turning it off.
Every once in a while when I flash a new ROM (seems to happen more on AOSP based) it starts off in 1x, then LTE...then 3G.
Sometimes you just gotta let it settle... But I've found using WiFi, then turning it off and using the LTE on/off app (it's the same as the ##, just quicker) you can get LTE working.
Finicky....but it works...

Go back to MR2.5 704 is great in the cities, but it tightens up tolerances too much for other areas. Another issue with MR3 aka 704 is that 3G data is wicked touchy when your dealing with 96dbm and higher. MR2.5 was a release and I have good reason to believe the next radio release be it official/final or leaked will be more loose like 2.5
Again everyone's experience will very, speaking of averages here. Also
Thanks for all the feedback guys..Tried all the tricks but no go..I got 4G away from my home near work but I get here at home, No 4G. I called VZW and they verified I should have 4G in my area. I didn't wanna troubleshoot the TB w/tech support cuz it's rooted and the info they may ask for, will not be what they're expecting since am running custom rooted rom..ready5, I just loaded the 2.5 radio and No 4G still..IDK what's really going on?
approx how long ago was the last time you had 4G at your home? Did you change anything since then can can perhaps revert back to a previous backup. and just to confirm, on a fresh reboot you see absolutely no 4G at all from home
NY, I believe I had 4G w/CM7 and kobes rom..Am going to attempt to restore one of y backups and see..I have no clue what went south here..When I get to work, I do have 4G but again, my home area, no 4G and Am told by Verizon, Am supposed to have 4G. I just loaded UBER bamf and no 4G either. I located this confusing Thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128) and tried the GB d/lds and still no 4G

.... will not be anything that is resolved here. It is a problem with the firmware for ICS.
I was talking to somebody at sprint today while I was there and showing them my device and asking if there will be any issues caused by having a virgin mobile ROM on the device. The lady explained to me that they are exactly the same, get the same reception, same update packages, and work on the same network, etc., etc.... All of this was known to me to some extent, but wanted to hear it from somebody at the company... and told me that the only problem they are having is with ICS in general is that there have been data/radio issues with the Galaxy Nexus line as well ever since it released on their network a few weeks ago.
Furthermore, she explained that this was a known bug/issue and that she knew for a fact that an update would be coming with a fix and that it was being worked on right now.
The reason I wanted to share this was because I have seen a lot of misinformation floating around about 1.) having a virgin mobile ROM on your device and 2.) virgin mobile ROM causing data issues - which is not the cause of the issue as I mentioned just now.
Just want you all to be aware of this in case you were thinking having this software and firmware on your device would cause any issues with your billing, your contract, etc. Simply put - it will not. Virgin mobile is owned by sprint, they run on the same towers, same network, and info of accounts is stored in the same place. You could literally walk into a sprint store to pay your bill for your virgin mobile account.
All is well. All is safe. An update will come to fix the data issues, keep your eyes peeled for it folks. We are not given source code for radios, etc., so unfortunately that needs to be fixed on the carrier/manufacturer end - and as I said, it will be fixed and they are working on it. Sit tight.
Hope this cleared up any misconception floating around.
So, you don't really know how to fix it then? Forgive me for being a little confused, but your title is slightly misleading.
Oh man, you have no idea how much I was freaking out about the billing. Thanks man. (Y)

yeah, i can see the confusion there....
re-worded, i would say it appeared to me that people thought there were data issues because of being on a virgin mobile ROM. The point I am trying to express is that the problem is the firmware, not because the ROM is for the virgin mobile 3D - if this same firmware was released for "official sprint RUU" where your banner said "sprint" they would still be having the same issues. Ex.: the lady at sprint said the galaxy nexus was having the same issue.
If that makes sense.
If not, not sure how else I can explain it.
It seemed people were crediting the problem to the fact that there device is attached to virgin mobile - this is not the case.
EDIT*** lol, nice ninja edit haus - you gotta be quicker than that roffle

I thought it was the ROM side that is giving the PRL/Data roaming and all the other network problems. Not the firmware. I say this because people have posted that they flashed the firmware, flashed the VM ICS ROM. Then went back to a GB ROM (MeanROM, MIUI, etc) and they had everything working, even though they were on the leaked firmware. But if you flashed that firmware, chad and another dev found a fix, they are going to release it sometime soon.

after half a day of having flashing back they determined the problem to be gone??
......
the issues being caused by the firmware are not constant, and apparently are rather random from what I have read. a perfect example is my own device... no issues with new firmware until today (day 3) of having it, even tho many people reported issues after just a couple of hours.
I'll talk with chad and see what he is cooking up... I havent talked to him a whole lot this weekend.

I've been saying that the roaming problem (if it truly exists outside of people's self affirming observations) only exists on this ROM due to ICS and the lack of roaming options on the rom itself. The radios do nothing to mess up roaming. This is all due to it being a TEST rom that we flashed. It's absurd to think that there is a perfectly functional rom sitting around with no bugs if the only leak we can get is a Virgin Mobile version. We have a beta rom and beta radios, and we should realize that's what we signed up for when we flashed it in the first place.

this is true... but again, what is your explanation of the galaxy nexus having the same issue, and the fact that a sprint rep was entirely aware of the issue and that is was being worked on and would come in an update?

So in essence this means that the firmware in the new radio update, which is necessary/part of ics to run on phones is the heart of the data, sms, etc. issues people are having?
There are some differences between how the ROM interacts with the both radios but so far it looks like everything can still be made to work.
If you're having issues with roaming try opening up the build.prop and change 'persist.radio.voice.dom.roam=0' to 'persist.radio.voice.dom.roam=1', and then use setprop to reset it. I haven't been able to test it yet but I'm fairly certain that will bring back roaming.

from what the lady explained to me, yes it is... intermittent data loss is a bug within the new firmware for ICS
my point here is that it has nothing to do with your ROM being intended for a virgin mobile 3D. it is because of a bug within the firmware for the radios.
as i said, sprint rep explained this to me, and seemed very confident in the way she explained it - confirming it as a known issue, and also knowing that it would be fixed soon because it was being worked on and said it would be serviced as a firmware update.

You think a sprint tech in the store is an authority !!
For one thing, many may not care, you lose VPN capabilities. Which I need and want and has nothing to do with ICS. Flashed back to GingerBread an it's still gone.
You may also lose the ability to properly update the PRI when new ones come out with official ICS.
It is not just a banner issue.
I'm not in a roaming area to confirm roaming issues but I believe folks when they say they can no longer roam on th 3G. I never touched my default roaming settings and it always worked fine. You may be right that roaming is only ICS issue. But it smells like it's way more than that by folks reports. And quite believable given the phone half believes it's on Virgin Mobile.
It is the PRI which manages routing that is not correct. And different folks will get different issues depending on their location.
I don't think chad and friends would be working so hard to fix it if it was such minor issue and I trust them more than some sprint sales person.
Like was stated above. There are two kinds of people. Those with issues and those with no issues, YET !!
And please FIX the broken subject.
This all reeks of a panic due to us not understanding the new tech in the build we have. These issues may be a side effect of the ICS ROM or could just be issues with the way ICS interacts with the radios. The only information we have is hearsay, and people tend to overestimate effects of things when they don't know what they're looking for.
We get what we deserve for flashing beta radios and a beta rom, tbh. We accepted any possible problems by flashing these and we have nobody to blame but ourselves for not researching first.
"issues" is a vague word. whats to say a person's issue is due to ICS, the radios, or anything else in particular?
The new radios made me gain 20 pounds. There's no information showing that the radios did or didn't cause this. Yet here we are proverbially attributing all these issues to one thing or the other, when in reality WE DO NOT KNOW what is causing these problems.

People here are not stupid. Most do backups before they try something.
I restored a backup and lost capabilities I had.
I reflashed every every sprint RUU, Reflash Hboot 1.40, restored back up and things are not the same.
If you flashed that freeza patch your phone has it's feet in both Sprint and Virgin Mobile and it's not good.
Yes, we know we screwed up. And some of us would like it fixed before we get more surprises of what does not work correctly.

What is the "setprop" an ADB command? Do you have to use it. I edited the build.prop how you said reset the phone and nothing changed. I am roaming and cannot connect to data. My phone's data works fine when in a coverage area, but obviously not when roaming. I never did any kind of firmware update. Hope that helps.

I am about to flash this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312201
I'm wondering which radios will work with this. I'm new to rooting/flashing, fyi. I've been studying immensely.
The reason I'm wanting to flash a new rom is because I'm running cyano 7.1.1 and my bluetooth piece will no longer connect to my phone. Would you folks recommend I flash a new rom? Or only new radios?
The current radios I have are: 1.48.00.0817r AND 0.01.78.0802w_3.
ALSO, if I may ask, what is the difference between RUU and Radios? How are the two linked?
Thank you very much.
Radios really aren't rom specific. more like whatever works best on your phone.. sometimes updating to a radio that works or fixes someone else's problem isn't necessarily going to fix someone else's . If that makes sense.. I honestly haven't changed radios since I first rooted in 2011..
Really what works great for one person might not work great for you. Most you can do is just try different radios over s few days and come up with your own conclusions of what worked better on your phone.
reestipt reactions.
RUU = rom upgrade utility. Basically usually the stock roms from HTC.
The radio usually affects signal quality and speed.
Hi guys,
so what i've been noticing is there is alot of stuff in the HTC One international version section and i've heard and seen people running different stuff from there.
i think it might be a good idea to start a thread or something that can link to those specific threads about kernel's or roms that work on our phone. I've already loaded up a battery % mod from there that works with our phone. that might get the ball rolling.
from what i heard all the roms are cross compatible since pretty much no one adds firmware into their roms just the OS software and thats it. *correct me if i'm wrong*
though the one thing to be weary about is since the tmobile wifi calling is built into our stock rom if you want to keep it you'd have to mod the current rom file we're using. if you use the international roms it will not have wifi calling since their roms stock dont come with it.
Just a thought to get the ball rolling on roms. I'm one to not really care about wifi calling since i mean most of us are on the new tmobile non contract unlimited lines anyways so theres no need to worry about going over minutes. you'd be only worried about it if your out of the country or in a place that has really bad signal and want to use wifi to make a call.
