1. is it possible for the eris to get motorola blur? i dont know if its possible i just would like to actually try it out without having to pay hundreds to get a devour.
2. if rumors are true the official update for 2.1 is going to be released today but i'm not holding my breath. i'm running the latest 2.1 ROM that was released on here like 2 weeks ago and i love it i do but i'm just tired of the bugs and such and i know an official release will fix most of the issues. is it possible to update my phone manually when it comes out on the verizon or HTC or will there be another way.
thanks for all the help

updating manually is an option, but if you just wait until someone ports the "official OTA" over to a new rom, you won't have to lose root. As far as motoblur goes, I'm sure its possible, but the demand for such a port isn't very high, so I doubt anyone is even looking into it.
ps. I had to LOL a little and the words "latest 2.1 rom" and "2 weeks ago" in the same sentence. Most of the big boys have updated their roms 2 or three times in the last week alone! LOL
lol yeah. anywho how do i go about manually updating it? just get it off htc or wait to get the update message?
This is not development related.

I've heard this came out a couple months ago, but my phone as yet to update on its own. When I try and check for an update, it says there are no updates to be found. And when I check my phone, my current software is 3.14.605.12. Anybody know how I can upgrade to the latest? Ever since I upgraded to ICS, my phone has been nothing but trouble for me, and I'm hoping if I upgrade to the latest that some of these problems might go away. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the link to the global update: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ Lucky for you, since you haven't unlocked you bootloader or done anything otherwise, you can flash this in your bootloader and get the update with no problem.
Two notes on flashing that...first it's unofficial, so flashing it might risk your ability to get OTA's in the future. Second, it will wipe your data, apps, and internal storage. However, with those two caveats, it will work just fine.
I appreciate the input guys. However, both of you state I need to "flash" to do this - which looks to me (as stated above) it's an unofficial method of getting this update. I'm curious, is there a way I can do this a legit way? How come my phone did not take the update, while others did? How can I force my phone to update? I'd like to keep my phone as stock as possible and not do any modding to it.
If I really have no other options, then I guess flashing is my best bet. And considering the last phone I had that I took any time to mod was the first-gen iPhone, I have no clue what any of this lingo means - but I guess that's what Google is for. However if any of you have a quick link in mind you could post that might help me or at least point me in the right direction, it'd be appreciated. I looked at the link posted above to the actual ROM file and it has some simple install instructions, however I'm not sure if that's all I need to do considering I'm still fully stock. Thanks again guys for all your help.

your phone is up to date! like they said above and the global is unofficial, therefore putting the global ruu on your phone would be the latest!

Run the 4.03.605.2 RUU. Let it boot 1 time, then wipe and install shrike's CounterShrike CM9 ROM. It's seriously a great ROM and super smooth in comparison to stock. Basically, what this phone should have been from day 1.

My apologies, but I don't quite understand. You're saying my phone is up to date with the 3.14.x.x software, and the 4.03.x.x that I'm looking for is actually some "custom" ROM and unofficial?

think of it like getting a Blu-Ray Movie Early. They say when the Blu-ray should be released but some guys who know people can get an Early Copy but modify it to make it Better than its original Release. And this is all totally legal.

So this 4.03.x.x is just not out yet? I've been seeing news articles of them reporting on it as far back as August. Has it just not rolled out to every phone yet? If not, then I will continue to wait. I just thought my phone was messed up and wouldn't take the update.

But waiting on Verizon to Roll out the Update will take a loooonng time. but Sites have the Latest (Unofficial)Build. Unofficial is kind of like Alpha, and Beta. Unofficial is inbetween Alpha n Beta.
It basically gives u global function so if your not going to other countries don't even worry about it. I promise if u take the time to figure everything out and flash it you won't be able to tell a difference. Just skip it

A few people got 4.03.605.1 a week or two after the 3.14.605.12 OTA, but they never mass rolled it out. I know of one person on XDA who got it as an OTA. 4.03.605.2 surfaced a few days later on Android Police, but I haven't heard of anyone getting it as an OTA, and there hasn't been a peep out of Verizon on it.

Awesome, just what I needed to know. I will just be patient then. Thanks!
Yep, basically the only reason why the global update ever made it to light is because the manufacturers like HTC like to "splash test" on a few customers, let them report back bugs and what not, at this point if there aren't any bugs or the bugs that are present are workable, they will release the update in mass to the rest of the public.
Basically, a splash tester knew what they were doing, whipped together that nice little "flashable" ruu package and released it for the rest of us to hack up for our own uses. Usually, we look forward to these little splash test releases because they do contain newer bug fixes, but they also contain new kernels, libs and other useful things we need to continue making roms like aosp or sense 4 work better
I'd say if you want it, go ahead and flash it. Its just not official as they say because it did not arrive onto your phone via ota update directly from htc and verizon. Although it is an official build built by htc.
Hello,
I have my original TF201 and it's between treated extremely carefully and not used a ton. So it's in perfect shape. I reset it sometime ago so that other family members could use it as well. It's back to factory reset with the latest official update on it. I installed several apps that I would commonly use and the performance slowed to where is literally unusable. Clicks take forever to register, pages take minutes to load, etc. I uninstalled as much as I could and that helped somewhat but it's nothing like the performance it used to have. So, from what I've read, I'm thinking that the performance of that last official update is the problem and it might be time to get into rooting and flashing a different ROM. I've rooted before but it's between several years so I'm not an expert.
I just wondered if this sounds like the best thing to do for my performance issues. If so, which ROM would you recommend? I'm not stuck on any particular version of Android more interested in what your experiences are with which ROMs runs the best on this unit. If KatKiss is recommended, would you go for V30 or one of the older ones? Another post said that, at that time (maybe two months ago), people were having issues with V30 and I'm not sure if those issues have been resolved. I'm OK with a Marshmallow, Jellybean ROM too. Just any help on which direction to go would be really wonderful.
Thank you so much!

I found Katkiss LP v26 worked really well. I am now on the Marshmallow version #22 and so far that is really smooth and quick.
Make sure you upgrade to the right bootloader then follow the instructions in the Forums to the letter.
Good luck
I am currently using KatKiss v30. Was in a similar situation to you where my Prime got very little use due to being slow / unusable. KatKiss v30 has been pretty stable for me as long as it is kept below 1.8Ghz, highly recommend trying it out if your Prime is anywhere near as bad as mine used to be.
KatKiss v30 is the way to go !!!!!!! really not much of a difference in user experience with my galaxy tab s2 ))
First off longtime troller first time poster. I just bought a Sony Z5 Compact US Version just received it yesterday. I'm probably considered a light to medium user. I mostly listen to Spotify, text, cloud stuff nothing crazy hard on the phone. So in my initial setup I received and updated to MM 6.0. So I was very happy. Install and phone setup went smooth. So far after 24 hours of use phone works great buttery smooth no issues noticed yet. Battery life appears to be good but obviously I'll report back after a few weeks. Fingerprint scanner works! For me and the way I feel for this phone after a day I might have finally hit the Holy Grail! I'm sure everyone is gonna trash me for not waiting a few weeks to post, but for right now 6.0 seems to me to make this phone shine as it should have when it first came out. Anyone else state side having good experiences?
So the US version of MM has a working fingerprint sensor with no other mods? I might try flashing that over my current Customized Nordic if that's the case. Thinking I might get improved reception on T-Mobile here in the US.
Yea people gonna trash you because where are already many topics out on this update so making a new one isn't needed but guess if you cant even use the search function on this forum then dont expect people te be kind.
Marshmallow revived this phone. It's now a beast but I'm sure that it is capable of even more. Lollipop was laggy and slow and so I appreciate Marshmallow very much. The phone is now fast, responsive and it heats up much less than before. I can finally call myself a proud user of Z5c and I wouldn't have second thoughts before recommending it to someone

I don't think so... Updated my Z5C US version with MM , firmware version 32.1.A.1.163. No provision for fingerprint scanner still....
So I'm confused? Did the US version of MM activate the fingerprint scanner or not?
No, but flashing other versions like Nordic did.
I'm super confused. So the fingerprint sensor is present, but not activated? What is the difference in the US version and Intl version then since neither support VoLTE but intl supports B12 on Tmo?
That's disappointing. PWRFADE got me all excited.
Hey! Asking for advice. I am curious and interested to install Lineage OS based Android 11 (Custom ROM) but wanted to ask around if anyone has already tried it and how is it or could anyone tell beforehand is it even worth the time and effort? Other suggestions about the device? (Not *buy a newer one* please). Been using it for long time overall and it is in great shape, battery is excellent still. It is great device and I would love to use it until end yet somehow afraid of having outdated Android and falling behind for app updates because of it. Also read on the internet so not 100% sure but got information that Samsung officially will stop sending updates to Note 8 this year October...

gotcha. well, theres pros and cons if youre not willing to spend the time reading threads and installing the magisk mods needed to hide root (which is the biggest issue IMO these days). Other than that, its just like it was back in the day but the ROMs are more stable from what ive read. I havent rooted my last 2 sammys but might start doing so again. Longer battery life, more customization stuff. Just need to hide root for some apps to work
