hi guys
i have already read many tutorials but i just want a push to get started.
here is my problem my friend bought an unlocked at&t htc one m7 from ebay and using it in india. once it reached india it haven't received any ota updates after that so its still stuck on 4.1.
i just want to know how can i update it to 4.4 directly by flashing a stock firmware. in samsung its just like dwnload and flash using odin,in nexus its just fastboot. i am a bit confused here with ruu,cid,s off etc. i just want to update it to a international/asian version so it can get future otas.
any help regarding this is appreciated.
thanks
Needs to be s-off'd change cid to BS_US001 and flashed with 6.07.1540.3 ruu and itll work fine. Do not need to use a international/asian build or cid/mid

Hello.
I just bough a T-mobile unlocked Samsung Vibrant and up to now it is working fine. I used the KIES software and saw that there are updates available but I don't know if it is ok to update my phone. Is it still going to work if I install the updates (or it will become locked to T-mobile again)?
I am quite new to this so I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance

you should be fine, but It depends what kies is trying to update?
if your running stock and your just unlocked you should be fine.
but if your running a custom rom then its pointless to update through kies anyways.
Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately I am not sure what I am running. I bought the phone unlocked. When I go to the About screen, it sais Firmware version 2.1-update1, build number 'Eclair'.
If the update is for the 2.2 firmware, will I have a problem?
Is there any info on this forum where it explains things like 'What does a locked phone mean', unlocking and firmware updates?
Thanks again
Hello, i just bought htc amaze because of the good parameters and price and i really love it. But i can not update to Ics- it is says i am up to date... My rom is 1.60.707.3 i read that it is from asia and will not update it. So what is the other options - i am not familiar with rooting and flashing, but is it possible to have official ics and the save the guarantue? I do not want to root only ics?
Thank you

i don't believe we have ever had that RUU, or any asia version ruu which would be "x.xx.707.x", i can only find it on the xda-china site
http://translate.google.com/translate?&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-11187834-1-1.
just be careful because i can not promise you that will work on your phone since that site is in another language and we are relying on google translate to tell us what it says, so use it at your own risk. also, i can not create an account on there to save my life, i tried already.
best bet is to just S-off then superCID and then you can flash any ruu
Does anyone have a step-by-step instruction on how to install ATT 4.2.2 onto a Telus OneX+ ?
My understanding from telus and HTC Canada is that Telus OneX+ will not be receiving official 4.2.2
Thanks in advance

I install magio rom R1 on my telus one x +, you need to unlock and root your phone first, download the rom you want and extract the boot.img from the zip file and install it with fastboot on your pc, but if you search on all the post in the forum, you will find all the information you need.
It works really good for me
You can also build your own rom from the ATT files? I personally don't like MagioROM.
I was hoping for a more elegant solution and just convert it from Telus to ATT - and this way I can stay stock and accept any current (4.2.2) and future (4.4 ? Please HTC) OTA
Anyone tried this before ?
I'm using Elegancia 6.2.0 on my TELUS HOX+ and it works great !
Ok, the boot screen shows AT&T logo and I have to use the "WiFi Tether" app to share the 4G internet instead of htc's, but it's minor in my opinion... I love it so far.
Don't hold your breath for an official OTA. Get roms instead !

Hi
I missed the HTC One At&t OTA updates ( 4.3 and then the 4.4 Sense 6 ) for my phone. I know i can side load them.
I have been searching for Stock ROMs given during OTA.
Can i directly update to the 4.4 update package and skip the 4.3 update ? Is it safe ?
Also can anybody direct me to the links for the 4.3 package and the 4.4 package and the steps. I have a thread which has the 4.4 package, just was searching for steps and the 4.3 package.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659374
Also, as a curiosity , i read people requesting At&t to 'push' a specific version to a subscriber , by asking a code to be dialed on the phone. How does this system work ? Do they push on the basics of IMEI ?
One more experimental thing, if i change the date of my phone back when 4.3 was released , is it possible that i shall get a OTA update from At&t server when i check for it ?? has anybody tried this ?

Sorry currently not in US and not on At&t . Any other way ?
Surpisingy HTC website tells a way to flash ROM on t-mobile HTC one but not on At&t one. It says OTA only.

If you are not in the US or on AT&T then the push request would not work for you either as it come from AT&T.
No way to get At&t update if outside US and not on At&t. ROM flashing is the way.
if you are not in US and not on At&t network currently . I checked there are no proper OTA files for the AT&T to update via OTA method if you are stuck on 4.1 ( 1.25. xxxx) . Via OTA files user data is preserved. No need to re-setup your device.
So you can't just go without flashing the phone and re-setup of old apps and stuff is required.
Now that you have to flash the phone its so much better to leave At&T builds. They have the highest amount of junk ( bloatware) in their builds. At&t phone book app i hate you.
So, do one step more and convert your phone to a generic version. US developer version is the best. Updates are faster and directly from HTC. And Rom has no issues.
That one step more is changing your CID and MEID in fastboot menu. ( it requires a S-off , and S-off might require a root. Root might require a TWRP recovery and SU binary steps ) .
If you on 1.44 Hboot the story is easy , just s-off via revone and unlock bootloader( i guess not needed !) and then flash a JB (4.3) binary first and then update to KK. Don't jump to KK directly with RUU.exe method . It fails with image error 158. I spent 5 hours figuring why this error !!!
Also can be converted to any other edition by changing the respective CID and MEID. Later make sure the CID is correct to receive the future OTA updates.
PS : T-Mobile is so much better in terms of pushing OTA. I had a m7 t-mobile SIM unlocked outside US. Never had a issue for any OTA. All were pushed on time.
Very unprofessional of At&t, that they want only their 'active' At&t members only to get the updates.
IF they see that the update binary is already same for all and is ready, its just server bandwidth they need, to extend OTA to non-At&t subscribers using an At&t phone.
Hello All,
I bought what turned out to be an ATT branded unlocked M7 phone, to use on the T-mobile system. At the time I didn't realize that it wouldn't update once on T-mobile OTA. Wasn't a problem until it started acting up recently. Hoping updating manually will solve the hot/reboot/shutdown,etc. issues I'm currently having. When I contacted HTC they told me I could do it with HTC sync, and the latest Rom on their site. After numerous failures, I am told it won't update from a ROM as old as mine, & that they will upgrade my status and get back to me in 3-5 days to see if they can help me. Nice Huh?? As I have a small amount of experience here before, I figured one of the genius's here may be able to outline the steps for me, or tell me how to get to the point that I can get current. Possibly several steps? Thanks in advance! Richard

Download this and run it from your Windows computer if you never did it before Google how to run a ruu for HTC
It will bring you to android 4.3 jelly been
http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
After that you can run the kit Kat sense 5.5 if you are not happy with the result , to update to sense 6 kit Kat after you have sense 5.5 you will need to run ota manually or get an att SIM from somebody and try to check for updates, or using an att SIM the way you have your phone now may work to do the 5 ota available for the phone. Good luck.
