Hi all,
the 2.3 gingerbread update is rolling out now! with sense 2.1!
NOTE: 2.3 IS ROLLING OUT VIA IMEI, SO IF YOU HAVE A BRANDED PHONE, BUT YOU UNBRANDED IT, YOU WONT GET THE UPDATE!!
confirmation:
Nick : Good afternoon
Dries: Hi Nick, thank you for contacting customer support from HTC. Currently I am just to read your question.
Dries: It has recently begun rolling out but that happens, however, using the IMEI number. It is not known exactly when your device's turn but when it does, you will automatically offer the update OTA.
Nick : Okay! that's good news, but on the Facebook page of HTC is that he has not yet rolled out?
Dries: The Facebook page has yet to be updated.
Nick : Ah okay, but I'm talking about the old desire, not the desire Z
Dries: Yes, Desire of the wounded.
Dries: I apologize, I meant regular
Nick : Haha okay, and do you know which version of Sense's on?
Dries: This is version 2.1

I'm puzzled, I thought that Sense wasn't going to be included.

it was always going to be included but a cut down version

Might be true, although I wouldnt be too hasty with putting a confirmed stamp onto it. Especially if this information comes from customer support...

Cant anyone check the servers so we can get the RUU update?

My Desire was bought off the shelf, so is unbranded, however it IS rooted (although I haven't done anything with the root access)
Does this mean I'll still get the update?
Will this affect memory available?

nobody in the comunity have already have the update ;

they said they will be pushed to phones by IMEI, so it will take time to get yours..

We will wait for.our turn.
But till then we need a first look and some answers from someone that already has the update.
For example which version of sense is delivered and with / without cut applications.

When HTC put message on FB that GB is officialy out then he is out, otherwise this is just another troll thread.

Its not exactly a troll thread but yeah we must stop believing the Customer Support one day...
On a side note, didnt we use to have a direct link to the RUU's on the official HTC website? I guess thats the only way to find out if we can grab the update without waiting for the whole rollout process to unfold...

Galaxy Nexus Came rooted???

Hey,
I bought a Galaxy Nexus here in Vietnam and just realized that it is running a custom rom and has been rooted. The phone was new (no scratches and had the original plastic covering the screen)... My friends here tell me that iPhones are often sold jailbroken so I was wondering if this is normal here??? English is a major challenge so I'm not sure if I will be able to get more information from them...
Everything seems to be working totally fine... just curious.

Post a screen shot of settings/about phone. Do you have superuser apk installed?

Here you go...
Superuser is installed.

Not sure why the picture didn't work... here is a link.

In Vietnam beware of the originality of the phone. It's easy to reseal the phone/box/accessoires,etc.
Definitely they sold you an used item. Go back to the store to get a refund or exchange for real new one.
Hope it helps.

I agree, the OP got sold a used phone.

yeah, i was probably used, or possibly a refurbished phone.
i head of people getting a Certified like new replacement (refurbished) HTC thunderbolt that was rooted with a sense 3.5 ROM on it.
but the phone is def. not a NEW phone from samsung. also, being rooted, who knows what kind of tracking stuff could be on that phone. i would take it back and do the rooting process yourself just to make sure.

Eh, you could always just reflash the factory image instead. That'll pretty well get rid of anything that could be installed on the phone.
Or use fastboot -w to wipe it all and then reflash whatever you want to be on it.
Assuming all the hardware works, of course.

I suppose the OP is in Hanoi Vietnam.
Do you like the food ?

either you paid a very good price and the phone works perfectly, in this case just flash a full official image. You can find them on code.Google.com
Either you paid the full price for a new one or it doesn't work or look fine, in that case I would go back to the shop and ask for a real new one or a refund

Sorry I don't want to bother the OP's life. It' that because I'm from Hanoi too and I miss My hometown.

the GSM extended battery was just now released in the UK so i doubt it will be in stores anywhere yet

Ahh... Well they are saying that there is no way it came rooted and I'm SOL. And this is Vietnam so there is really nothing I can do about it.... Bah. Its working well so I have no complaints really.
Thanks everyone for the input on this.

If the hardware is working fine then you can just unroot and flash back to stock and you'll be all good.

What is the store's name ? street ?

or, better yet. leave it rooted and install Adfree, Titanium Backup, RM, CWM, WiFi tether etc.... Unlock the bootloader right away while you're at it (since it'll do a wipe/reset) and then go flash some roms!

Does the phone come with the LED Case

Sold separately. Picked up my M8 and Verizon didn't even have it in stock, and didn't give me a price.

$49.99 + tax on the HTC website. Currently "Out of Stock" though.

The Dot View case is not on sale yet. Nobody is selling it.

Yes sir (ATT). Like yours, it's already in route. Gonna get to the shop early tomorrow with anticipation... And fingers crossed that we can unlock it at HTC Dev. Last two ATT HTC phones have been unlockable...Hopefully its just the Verizon that is locked down.

Glad to hear that! Service rep told me it would ship between the 28th and 4th of next month, i got a UPS tracking number about an hour later, its currently on its way i cant wait!!. Yea im hoping its not blocked from htcdev. but if it is, i dont think we need to worry much as it looks like alot of devs are buying the device and there is also s-off work being done as well. Firewater may possibly work but it has a different SoC so firewater will have to be adjusted for that. So I dont think we will be locked down very long if htcdev dont work

It is still possible the hardware is too different to simply port the recovery. I didn't bring anything until I post an image. Besides, the device still doesn't have kernel source. We can talk about saving it when it is too difficult instead of too new.

Check the op and the posts above yours for information
Closing the thread until the first build.

I opened this back up since the kernel is also included in the source now. The builds for boot and recovery compile but currently result in a crash. This appears to be security related and, being the first Samsung Galaxy phone (camera had no security) I've worked with, probably something I'm not configuring.
Either way, the source should give developers enough to work with. All of the commandline parameters and such have been verified.

It should be ready to go but fails some check. I know it isn't the recovery failing because the boot.img fails and all I changed in that was adding the line for init.d
I stopped changing anything until I can get the boot working to get valid readings on what needs work.
I miss fastboot. Straight up pass/fail

[Q] Rooting Verizon HTC One M9??

First of all, I just recently switched from IOS to Android so I don't know a lot of the correct terminology or parts of rooting yet. But, as I've searched around it seems there is no way to root the Verizon model of the htc one m9. All I want to do is be able to root my phone and get cyanogen mod 12. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

As of this moment, the only way is thru the use of a Java Card. There's a thread in this forum devoted to that, where you can get with one of the members that has a card and ship your phone to them for the procedure. Other than that, just waiting for beaups and jcase to get their method safe and available for public release. There's also a discussion on that.

Thank you so much for responding so quickly! I think I will just wait for the devs to release something. But, what would they be releasing and how can I keep an eye out for it?

It's called Sunshine...at least it was for the M8. And when it is released these forums will light up like a Christmas tree. You won't miss it

You can also make an attempt at finding someone close to you who would be willing to meet, the procedure is quick and painless from what I hear and it will unlock your phone, it is called "S-Off" in the HTC world and allows you to unlock your bootloader to make the possibilities endless, giving the ability to flash custom ROM's and custom kernels. It is most definitely worth it.. Here is the thread for Java card

OK thanks! Maybe I can find someone on Craigslist to do this.

Please don't look on Craigslist. If you need root that bad, I know someone that can s-off your device with a Java card. Shipping costs both ways will be your responsibility though.

Every bad thing that has ever happened in the world started with this sentence...LMAO JK!

Not every but alot of them unfortunately.

I have never had a bad thing happen to me through Craigslist. Actually quite the opposite. I got deals I couldn't find anywhere else and I met people that were absolutely awesome! Actually the roommates I live with, I found through Craigslist and the job I currently have is because of Craigslist.

Of course 99% of the time you'll be fine but that other 1% will land you in a body bag. There have been a couple Craigslist transactions turned homicides on California in the past few years. If and when I do buy or sell something on Craigslist, I always meet in a very busy public place and bring someone with me. Can't be too careful these days sad to say.

Try ping-pong root in the Samsung s6 thread. Beta 6 will root the m9??
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Premium HD app

Simple root on this phone won't really be of much use to the regular user with the way write protection is on this device. The real deal will only arrive when s-off and unlocked bootloader happens.

Can you send me info on this? I have been holding off on the M9 since there's no root. If I can get S-Off for just the shipping costs (cheaper than Sunshine when it becomes available), I'd pick up an M9 ASAP.

I could have sworn I read that the Sunshine would work on the Verizon M9, but since there is no root, it doesn't get past the initial part of the Sunshine process... I very likely am mistaken though since all other variants were unlockable on HTCdev.
