Hi, last December I bought an international One X+ at Vodafone Czech Republic (unbranded) and started playing with it immediately. After trying out several ROMs I decided that I was most satisfied with the stock version, only with root. Unfortunately I lost my original backup of the stock ROM so I used the link towards the stock RUUs in hasoon's toolkit. Then I was stupid enough to flash the newest European RUU I found without knowing which one I had originally: 1.17.401.1. I also flashed back the stock recovery since I believed that it will enable OTA updates in the future. Everything was fine until today when I wanted to update to 4.2.2 and encountered a problem - the update downloads successfully and the installation starts only to be interrupted approximately one third along the way and the phone reboots. Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks a lot guys!

You might try it a few times. If you are unable to download the OTA - it means you are good to go for OTA...

Hello all,
Apologies is this has come up in the forums before but I hve looked through and couldn't find an answer.
Basically I bought a used G2 from ebay that was locked (& branded) to T-Mobile. I had it rooted/unlocked and now am on a Vodafone 30 day contract. It is currently running android 1.5.
I have not been prompted by the OTA update. I am unsure whether I use Vodafone or T-Mobile software for the update, or whether there is maybe a generic HTC version available? I want to make sure that the phone is left open to work on Vodafone after the updgrade also.
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated,
Thank you very much in advance!!

If you're going to stick with the official releases just flash the WWE version (which you should be able to find a link on here somewhere). Bear in mind that this will permanently lock you into v2.1 official releases as there is no known method to gain root on 2.1 as of yet and custom rom's will be out of the question.
The Vodafone and T-Mobile versions of the software mainly contain advertisement rather than actual changes.
duno if it helps but i was gettin pissed waiting for the t-mobile ota update, so i created a gold card using the method in another section, downgraded to the generic rom then run both ota updates when my phone promted me (setting my date 1 year ahead) i did not like the 2.1 as it was running peep and teh rest that i never use, i just reflashed it with the generic 1.5 rom i used originaly, installed flashrec and a recovery image, and is now running, happly, vallian 12. i was originaly on the latest t-mobile firmware.
duno if that helps? or was it a cooked version of 2.1 it downloaded via the ota system?
i is still happly rooted.
Hi there,
I'm planning on selling my Dutch G2, so i unrooted, installed the official T-Mobile UK 1.5 from the HTC site. And now i got build number: 2.73.110.26 CL#69351
But no OTA is appearing, not even after these tricks:
- set the date 1 month and/or year ahead;
- switching from 3G to WiFi and back;
- rebooting and try any of these steps again;
Does anyone have any other tips?
It's really frustrating that 1.6 and 2.1 are still not downloadable as zip..
Thanks, cheers.
After two days I finally got the updates! i guess forcing an update is simply not possible anymore (with the G2)..
i had the same issue but it worked when i forced FOTA (if it is corect to say that) using the code *#*#682#*#*
Hey guys,
I've been mucking around with my galaxy moving between some builds but ultimately have decided to go back to stock for now and wait for 4.0.3 to come out through my carrier.
Anyway, I restored from a CWM recovery image I had and out of curiousity went to update my phone as it's only at 2.3.3. Unfortunately it won't let me update OTA and won't let me update on Keis.
Now i've seen a few threads that say it should be updatable, a few that don't and a few that say both. I just need an information on what I need to do to be able to get the update to my phone and also to prepare it for the eventual ICS update.
Thanks in advance.

Restore Stock Carier from ODIN
Try restoring your carrier's stock ROM using ODIN.
The OTA update is carrier specific and might not work if you're not using the specific ROM provided by your carrier.
You can find a list of (some) official ROMs here:

Or you can google for it if it's not on the list.
I have a firmware question that I can't seem to find the answer to by searching. I am running arhd 11 on an att HTC one. Should I upgrade the firmware on my phone? Will there be any benefits to this since I am on att and not international? Also how do I go about updating the firmware and does it wipe the device? If I should upgrade, what it's the version I should download? Longtime Samsung user so please excuse the noobness.
If alls running well, then plz avoid ... however, in ARHD thread many AT&T users have updated the firmware without any side-effects
Best to post Q in that thread itself

It is currently not mandatory to flash the new firmware for ARHD, but it does provide a noticeable increase performance depending on the current firmware version you are running, I was running 1.26 on my AT&T m7 and the screen and touch buttons have been much more responsive now that I am running the new 2.24. Flashing the new firmware will also update the baseband, providing you with the latest radio (but performance of this will vary from region to region.
If you go to this link, it will give you some great instructions on the update process.

BTW, you will need to be s-off and change your cid to 11111111. As long as you take your time and follow the directions completely you will be fine. If you do update make sure you flash the firmware TWICE when it says to, and make sure you re-flash your custom recovery because it will get replaced during the updating process. This process will not delete your sd card and you will be able to run your current ARHD, but it is recommended to do a clean install after. And you might as well since 12.0 is out.
hope this helps
I'm getting a failed not allowed error when trying to 'fastboot flash zip'
I successfully have s-off and changed CID but can't get firmware to flash
Edit: not sure what happened but I was able to push the zip successfully. Maybe from adding the path of the file instead of just the zip file? Anyway, it worked.

IF the rom is tweaked right theres no real reason to update the firmware to euro build,Id wait till att variant or the dev variant gets the update and then worry about it.
Hey guys
I have finally managed to fix my V10 after installing H901 software on my H960A machine. It was a pain in the arse, but now I'm finally back on H960A
However, since installing the stock FW, I haven't got an update. When I check manually, it says the software is up to date, even though it's on 5.1.1.
It's a Switzerland version of the stock software and I'm in Slovakia btw.
Now, the question is: will I eventually get the update, or should I find and install another version of the stock ROM?
Cheers
