Here is an update I found .it's Still android 4.4.2. All that I know is it says bug fixes on the provided link for download . I flashed the firmware through fastboot just now . Works fine ,I don't notice any difference from the stock firmware other than the software numbers being different. There are two variants for download . One for pre paid and one for post paid. I have a contract so I used post paid.
I just wanted to post this for all to dig into and also because through hitting check for updates on my phone ,this update did not show up .I found it manually online .
I've developed some roms in the past for the atrix 2 . I am quite possibly going to be diving in once again as its been a year since I stopped for the a2 and currently this phone needs some development going on .

this update just att phone??
I'm waiting for 5.0 from HTC, but I'm curious if the update will fix a problem with the display. 610 needs devs
I'd really appreciate some confirmation on this. I started the ruu tool and saw it will wipe internal data (prior to reading that I didn't think an update would erase data) Not a big deal. I stopped it and made a backup.
But then I stopped to consider if there are any more surprises.
The 2 step guide right in Google search results does not mention needing adb environment.But other places say you need android sdk tools installed. This is an issue because I don't own a pc. I have everything I need on my Mac but of course I cant run exe files.
Do I need an adb environment for this to work? I can borrow a pc but would prefer to not put too much stuff on it because it's not mine. Just running one program one time--not a huge bother.
Also are there any other things I should be aware of before continuing? With other devices I'm not nearly as cautious but this is my main phone. Thanks.
Sorry to keep coming back but I did a clean install of Windows just for this update. The pc I had really needed maintenance. Still not certain it's necessary but I've got the adb environment set up and working. I just have a few questions...
1. Reading older posts, it says the ruu will relock boot loader and bring me to stock, is this true?
--in case it wasn't assumed, I AM rooted with jmz kernel, unlocked and twrp
2. This WILL lock and unroot my phone automatically, correct? I don't have to do it before?
3. If the answer to the above is yes, I will need to unlock it and root again?
4. Once this is done, can I flash my backup with twrp? Of course that assumes it will be wiped.
Sorry again for what's most likely annoying questions. This is my only phone and bricking it would be bad, worse than other devices that are just for entertainment. I VERY tempted tojust plug in my phone and run ruu but I really want to know exactly what will happen.
For all the threads here I'm surprised this isn't being talked about.

***ok. I finally read the return to stock section and it also is done with ruu. And you do need relock boot loader. Of course this means it will wipe my data.
Sorry. I've read that post before but skipped right over that section. I thought there might be a better way.
TWRP must be essential to flash the kernel but otherwise it really complicates the update process. Without it I could just unroot with Supersu or other tool, take the ota then reroot.
I wonder what differences are in the ROM for pre-paid and contract customers?
Naturally this thread is in relation to the AT&T supplied phones for an RUU with 1.53.502.11 / 1.53.502.12 ( 1.53.502.12 for pre-paid devices)
On HTCdev the main version for the WWE phone is currently only 1.31.401.2, with the Australia (Telstra) as 1.31.841.3.
I have the Australian Telstra supplied HTC Desire 610 (Navy Blue) and it is running 1.31.841.3 with Kernel version 3.4.0-g29bee57 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Does anyone know of an RUU for the WWE ROM? or know if the AT&T 1.53.502.XX kernel version is 3.4.0 or 3.4.10 or other?
OTA Update
I received an OTA today on my AT&T 610.I'm rooted with boot loader unlocked and on rooted stock.I copied the OTA file if anyone is interested.I'll upload it and make a shared dropbox folder.There isn't any version info that I can see.I'm.not equipped to read the build prop inside the zip at the moment.Any interest just let me know.

And if its not too much trouble would u try to summarize how you got the update? Did you just relock bootloader, factory reset via HTC menu and take a normal ota? Then unlock it and root again?
Ive rooted and flash ROMs on a few devices already but am surprisingly still confused about this. This phone's gotten so little attention there just isn't much out there to learn from.
Not to mention it'll be a bit time consuming since the PC I used to root this has since died so I'll need a new token. That's where the ruu adds another layer of confusion--as far as I know it doesn't automate the unlock so where's the benefit there? Once you're unlocked, running root tool is easy ...and if you have to unlock and unroot anyway--at that point wouldn't just allowing the ota be easier?
You see. I've got lots of questions. Any help would be much appreciated. Running same firmware 6 months now.
More recent Firmware?
Anyone have an RUU for a more recent firmware? I actually flashed an older version than this (the one in the return to stock thread) thinking it was the latest.
I left it on there for I think around 24 hours,waiting for an ota update before rooting but it never happened so I thought it was already the latest version.
help
plz i will need ur help i have a problem with my htc desire phone can u help me?
this is my email shld in case i might not visit this site often [email protected]
Thanks
anyone have a copy of the ruu anywhere?

And what im stuck on is running FlashRec.apk It Just refuses to work (backup), so im stuck, i cant get passed this stage
I heave read something about GoldCard? or something, is this another method?
And i have come across more threads about using the SDK on windows somehow...

As far as i'm aware if flashrec doesn't work you need to downgrade, try my guide in my sig for details.
Thats what i thought :/ I don't get it, i haven't installed a single update, and im on 1.5, and i got the phone when it first came out in the UK, so it wouldn't have been updated, unless over the air updates are automatically downloaded and installed without my knowledge or approval?

I am on T-Mobile or 3UK or An Asian Carrier and I can't Root my phone...Help!11!11!!1
As you have found out those phones that have network specific ROMS, namely from the carriers named above will find it difficult or impossible to Root using the methods those with non-branded Hero's have.
The only way to install a custom ROM and or root the phone is the following method. As I have had no experiance with this method I am not going to be able to write out any instrcutions of my own, nor am I going to copy and paste someone else's work and take credit for it. Therefore I am providing you with the following link.

I hadnt installed any updates either but i still had to downgrade, and your tutorial worked pefectly
All newish G2 Touches are loaded with a more recent update (although they're still all 1.5.)
This means if you have a new G2 Touch you'll need to downgrade.
I had the exact same issue as you with the backups failing, after searching the internet and using multiple tabs, i finally gained root access, to make life easier for others I created a guide, give it a try, let me know how you get on

Rooting & sim unlocking are totally unrelated. There's no free means to unlock, so you'll have to buy a code.
Hello guys, I'm a noob in xda. I bricked my htc incredible s.. i was hoping to give it for a try to save my phone up by finding solutions here by asking you guys.
So here's my problem:
My htc incredible S was rooted on stock rom for half a year, and when i received OTA update, i was restricted from performing OTA because i had a custom recovery installed on my phone. And so, yeah. I was reckless.
I didn't read properly and know that i cant install any ota updates from htc, but i found a way in order to let my phone to be able to perform OTA updates again, and thats by intalling a ruu. But, due to my phone was a HTC_asia_wwe ver ( which the ruu is very hard to be found) , i searched and browsed almost every forum, but there's none with download links available, so i downloaded a stock rom with PG32IMG.zip and flash it when it gets on bootloader (htc devices will always scan for PG32IMG.zip when we get into bootloader right?) I had all things succeed. When i was trying to reboot into my os, it keeps repeat the boot vibration with the HTC logo on it. ( keeps come out the HTC logo, then turn black awhile, then come out again..keep repeating non stop and i can only turn off my phone by taking off the battery)
I can boot into bootloader but i cant access everything. even when i access recovery , it goes the same too, keep out the logo, reboot, out logo, reboot. And also when i plug in to my PC, it keeps shows up android 1.0 device too and my adb cant find the device serial. I really hope there's some way to fix my phone....I hope I'm posting in the correct section...I'm really needed for help..thanks guys.
It sounds like ur having a bootloop problem which I honestly don't understand y u would have that problem. All I can really tell u is that if I remember correctly is that if u can boot up into ur bootloader then that means ur device is not bricked.
Edit: If u have the stock ruu for ur phone then u can make ur own ruu zip to flash through the bootloader but u will need some software that creates it for u. I remember seeing it somewhere here on the forums. I just don't remember off the top of my head if u need to be s-off to flash through ur bootloader or not.
:-? Hopefully that helps u out a bit.

Bring Up My Post
Since you're s-off, can you not flash a recovery through your bootloader? From there you should be able to either flash a rom or restore your backup if you made one.
I'm hoping that you've learned your lesson and will read more in the future. I can't stress enough the importance of doing your own research and knowing what you're doing before you do so. Since I'm sure you know that now, I'll shut up.

Hi all,
I got a problem about update my Amaze 4G which I brought at 5/11/11.
I had already root my phone and flash the clockworkmod recovery,
but before a few day, my phone remind my to download a system update.
When I completed download and begin to install,
my phone reboot and turn into the page follow
http://www.badongo.com/t/800/13959704
I saw a port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297467
Which tell the update information
Android version : 2.3.4
HTC Sense version : 3.0
Software version : 1.36.531.5
Kernel version : 2.6.35.13-g19a3d1a
[email protected] #1
Build number : 1.36.531.5 CL157207 release-keys
and I check my phone information is the same as the update
So I want to ask
1) Can I update the system update by HTC after I flash the clockworkmod recovery
2) If no, how can I update my system at the future or how can I flash back the original recovery
3) Is that update in the port is the latest one
4) If I already had the latest update, why my phone will remind me to download the update
Thank a lot!

Search for the stock recovery and flash it by hboot. Then update your phone and say goodbye to root. To obtain root again you will have to install busybox and superuser.
Honestly it'll be so much easier to flash a custom rom.

you can only have one custom recovery

Flashing a rom means putting a new operating system on your phone...basically there is the one that came from your manufacturer, which is the stock rom, and other ones made by developers here.
So I assume you have unlocked bootloader, installed custom recovery and rooted your phone correct?

I mean I have some experience in computer engineering but this is my first time getting myself into the android arena. I could try here and there and find out all without bothering you by experimentation but I am afraid of the bricking syndrome. I don't know how can I be safe from bricking the phone and what are my precautions to avoid that
I still don't know what the OP wants. Maybe I'm just too tired to understand.
Hey Yass,
In 10 words or less.
What do you want? Keep it simple.
Do you want root?
Do you want stock?
Do you want the phone back to factory defaults without root?
Do you want a certain rom?
Please help us help you.
My goal is having a rooted phone that can have system updates like before. I need the root to have the arabic/hebrew supported. pretty much I want a phone that displays and writes arabic as supported language in the firmware. I tried patches that accomplish that only on browser but not everywhere. for that I figured I had to root and with rooting I don't want to loose system updates from what it fixes and improves general usage.

Doesn't the stock rom have your desired languages?

Well my Hebrew and Arabic is kinda rusty so I've never bothered to look.
A lot of the times a custom rom developer will remove the extra languages such as Mandarin, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, German, Japanese, etc to save space in the rom itself since most of those counties don't even support the device. If they do then the local carriers probably don't sell it so it isn't very common. So in conclusion if the stock rom doesn't have it I would be clueless as to suggest which of our extremely limited custom roms would. So in other words I don't think there is anything that exactly fits your needs.
Even here in america lots of people need that language. there are stock roms supporting arabic but not on htc Amaze. as u said, not offered on arabic countries probably, but I know that some guys who want it there get it. and they had solutions to that problem through rooting. I can get help from them. But I am more conserened about keeping my rooted phone getting system updates while still staying rooted. Is this possible?

you cannot get over the air updates on a rooted phone, or maybe i'm wrong on this one too!!!! I seem to be rusty with OTA stuff. ON my N1, I always just installed the lasted Cyano mod...so I never really messed with ota and non ota stuff

You CAN still get the OTA but you need the stock recovery and stock rom to install it. So basically... you can root the stock rom via superuser .zip file then flash the stock recovery back. Needless to say that when you install the next OTA you will lose root.

Before I answer any of your questions, I'll let you know that HTC pulled the JB update after it gave users some very horrible bugs. However, they may soon release a fixed JB update which should be available to you. In other words, you won't get the update right now. However you can prepare for it.
1) Firstly, if you do not have a nandroid backup, you're going to have to find someone with a nandroid backup for the same CID as you. You can find your CID by installing CID Getter from the Play Store. Then you need to find someone on here with the same CID as you.
2) At the time of writing this the only ROM working with JB Hboot is the SkyDragon ROM. Note that the ROM you speak of is not JB but ICS, so I don't see why you'd want to upgrade to JB only to reinstall the ROM again.
Hope I've helped

@ORA 1 well there is no official statement from HTC about pulling the update, but people who should be receiving the update have reported that they are unable to update. Various people have also reported discussing with HTC support about the bugs and apparently they are aware. If you look on other threads in different sections on the forums there are people confirming that HTC have pulled the update.

Ok, yes my question was a bit screwball :laugh: i want to know how do you know that they were going to do an update. Because i have been onto them, and i think there is a better chance of seeing a pig fly.....Ok, i am being a bit sarcastic, but with no response from the manufacturer does give cause for concern.
IF HTC wants to keep their brand as one of the top brands of the world, they have to communicate much better.
All we want to hear is " We note your concerns about JB problems on the DX, we are attending to it, and as soon as we have developed a fix we will pass it on.
We do apologise for our error, please be patient......
So i am almost certain there will be (a) a fix update or (b) a new update which includes the fix.

Oh right, okay. I can't remember exactly where someone posted this (there are so many threads on the bugs in JB now ) but I 100% remember reading about somebody who contacted HTC and got a reply concerning fixes for the update. I'll try getting onto them too, the more people kick up a fuss, the more likely they'll fix it
However there are a lot of great devs who have the DX and it won't be too long before we get a fix either officially or unofficially

Sorry missed your post! If you have fastboot tools on your computer, open the folder containing fastboot and SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK on an empty space in that window. Click on "Open command window here"
Next make sure your Desire X is on the stock ROM and rebooted into bootloader, and choose fastboot.
Now from that command window type in: fastboot oem lock
That should work

If you download any Boot.img installer from any ROM thread, they'll contain the fastboot program. So if you go to the thread here and go to the bottom of the first post and download the Boot.img Installer, you can extract that ZIP and there should be a folder containing fastboot, adb and other stuff. Now if you open the command window there (SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK) you can do the fastboot oem lock if your phone is in fastboot mode.
If you want to be upgrading to Jelly Bean then you need to go back to your stock ROM for your CID, if you have a nandroid backup you can flash that through your recovery. If you don't you'll have to ask someone politely for their nandroid backup if they have the same CID.
If you manage to restore the correct nandroid backup, make sure you flash the stock ICS boot.img and recovery.img before you lock the bootloader.

i dnt hv any backups...... my CID is HTC_038 , i hv searched forums bt did not find my CID , so should i request for my mentioned CID..??
one more foolish quest-- someone has posted files for mentioned CID for htc ONE x .. can i use that ..??
Using One X files won't work. I can't find any nandroids for your CID either, you're in the same position as I am. There is one user who has the same CID as you but is in the same position, their name is abhi0409, contact them and maybe you can work together to find a nandroid backup. Or you can just wait for Cyanogenmod 10.1 to be released or wait for a custom ROM for JB which ICS users can flash.
EDIT: another guy called hell_lock on this thread has the same CID as you and has a nandroid backup, but is reluctant to post it because it contains private data
Ok, yesterday i received a call from someone at HTC or one of their agents and asked me was my problem about the update sorted.
I said i didnt want to load the 4.1.3 update but wanted to wait for the 4.1.5 which has the sound bugs fixed.
She said yes, they were aware of the problem, but the new update to my country will be available in a few days.
Now a question to the developers, why cant we just upload these updates from the play store, or HTC itself.
Maybe things arent as simple as that.
We can. HTC can put the ruus on web where all can access them. But they don't, and It's a mystery.
They should really start being more generous otherwise there fan base will decrease drastically.

Htc generally ignore their customer base in these matters.
It's why many of us won't go back to them again.
I contacted them twice recently, no answer at all. No wonder the other manufacturers are doing much better. Awful pity.

I've seen many people experience the same problem I have and it's that I can't install the Lollipop update at all. Tried this on my brothers Mate 2 and it didn't work as well and his is all stock (No root, nothing)
- Mine is rooted
- Stock recovery, switched back from TWRP
- Unlocked bootloader
Took this off of @GadgetStrutter cause I have the same problem's he's having
1. Extracted B309 to formatted SD card and tried to flash (Software install failed!)
2. Updated my rooted B126 to B148 and tried to flash from SD card again (Software install failed!)
3. Unrooted my B148 and tried to flash from SD card again (Software install failed!)
4. Reformatted SD card and redownloaded B309 and extracted it into root folder, and then trying again after (Software install failed!)
5. Rerooted my phone, but in B148 this time. Tried to restart and flash from SD card.. (Software install failed!)
- Got my phone from Wind Mobile, read threads and apparently made it into the stock B148 rom, (MT2-L03V100R001C00B148)
PLEASE, I'm HELLA impatient when it comes to software updates and I'm sure so is the Huawei community

The thing is, multiple users who have bought the HAM 2 from Wind have converted it to into the stock version and are able to update to Lollipop.
I read a bunch of posts saying you can turn your HAM 2 CC Variant into the Stock HAM 2 by download the stock 4.3 rom, call me a bull****ter but I'm just stating what the HAM community says.

That's incorrect. While you can flash the stock b148 onto the CC/Wind variant, its not a full convert. Lollipop update will always fail. There is currently no way to fully convert or fool Huawei updater to think it is the OEM version.
I assure you, no one has gotten Lollipop onto the CC/Wind variant yet.

I'm not the one lying, guess the posts are fake.
Do you think there is any way to get lollipop update with a TWRP backup or possibly a release for the CC or Wind Variant (Or is it released by Wind themselves)?

A TWRP backup won't work like last time. They changed partition sizes of the boot/system...so when TWRP tries to flash the Lollipop backup it runs out of space and fails.
I doubt that Wind/CC will update it.
Everyone is still hoping someone will come up with a way to flash it. Just gonna take some time.

Is there no available method to increse the size of the boot/system partition? I'm sure there has to be a way but someone isn't and wont look for it. Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you create a partition reserved just for that with an additional size adjustment?

I'm sure there is a way, but the developers here don't have the CC/Wind variant, and can't do any testing.
And they say it is risky thing to do.
Huawei should have been more clear but the Lollipop is ONLY for the US HAM2, MT2-L03. No variants are included, yet. That means Wind and Consumer Cellular will not work using the published methods.
I am not calling anyone a liar. If someone with a variant has been able to update to Lollipop then they really need to create a thread and post how they did it.
Perhaps this?

You could try flashing stock recovery, but I believe the update works without it.
Your final option is to do the OEM conversion just to make sure its fully OEM.

No disrespect, but your information is either oudated or absolutely wrong about not being able to convert the wind mobile variant. I just did it today following the guide with what other wind owners said and am running b322 now. I'm only writing this because your posts made me stay away from upgrading for a LONG time. If you don't mind annotating what you said, it would really help others.
So, follow the guide. If when you flash twrp it doesn't work seem to work, simply boot it instead then flash the oem zip and then you can flash oem 4.3. After that, following the guide you should have no issues going straight to b322. Don't do any updates through android itself, power off and use the three button method. It's not hard but it did take me close to an hour if not more.

You do see that this is a thread from July. A lot has happened since then. It might be outdated now but was most likely correct at the time it was posted.
Thank you for encouraging others to try the conversion\upgrade, though.
Yep, I know it's from July, but so is the conversion guide hence why it can be confusing, especially coming from a senior member. In any case, I hope this helps Wind users. I really like the new android and I can't say I've noticed any software bugs yet, it's running great!
