Hey All,
Long-time lurker, first-time post. Previous smartphones were Nexus devices (Sprint Nexus S, VZW Galaxy Nexus), so I never really needed to post. Everything was all there to tinker with.
I got the VZW HTC One a day or two after the HTCDev unlock was blocked, so I am stock, locked, and non-rooted. Quite an adjustment going from crack-flasher to locked-down, but I digress.
I was browsing around and noticed that an OTA was being pushed out, updating from 1.10.605.8 to 1.10.605.10. Having seen some others screwed by OTA updates, I know better than to even try to check for one, let alone accept installation. That, however, is where it gets interesting for me. I noticed that I am running 1.10.605.2. I haven't seen anything via Google searches, nor have I seen anything else on XDA regarding this build version.
So, on to my question: Can I be of any help with this build version that I can find no other mention of elsewhere? I work all day and have a wife and son at home, so I'm not on much, but I do check the forums in the mornings and evenings. If there's anything I can provide from my device that could be of help to someone, let me know, and I will do everything I can to provide it.
If you can, screenshot the software number in the About Device section.

what does your box say?
there will be a sticker on your phones box it came in, on the outside, it will say what software version it has installed, see if it even matches..
also check the IMEI
also is your phone S-ON?
maybe you got some early version that is S-OFF?
I am sure you would have seen but figured I'd ask.

So now the question is, can this be useful in the exploit/unlock hunt, or is it just a fluke with currently unknown repercussions? Since my HBOOT is the same, I'm leaning towards fluke.
Anyway, if anyone wants me to try anything, let me know, and I will try as time permits.

Unfortunately I don't think it is useful unless it had a lower hboot or something, we can't downgrade, and whatever exploit that may have been in that software may have been patched before release and took longer to release who knows.

well i recently received a refubed evo 4g with 2.3. my question is, can the techs at sprint downgrade my evo back to 2.2 or to a lower hboot ?
They may downgrade you to 2.2 if you complain about gingerbread..but if you ask about downgrading the hboot, I think it'll tip them off you're trying to root it / had it rooted before.
ok cool, funny thing is the techs at my sprint store have all there phone rooted LOL
call asurion and tell them the screen and battery is overheating and that you want a brand new evo and not a refurb, they will send it to you no charge.

They may or may not do that, but the new one could have GB on it too. So no point.
Right now they can't do it, unless Sprint/HTC give them a tool to do so. If they were to do so, it'd probably leak here pretty quick. My understanding is that they have the same RUU we do, which was specifically coded not to allow downgrading. That's no accident, by the way...they plugged the old root holes and didn't want to let people downgrade and root.

I believe they have 30 days from the release, and I thought I saw the official release was like 26 June [or mid June] so they 'technically' still have time.

The only good that will really come of that is the source, so they can start making custom kernels for GB, like synergy, kingdom, ect; but yes, bring on the root.

No, that's how long they are supposed to have to release the kernel source code to comply with GPL.
As far as unlocking bootloaders, HTC said they were changing their policy, but haven't made commitments to how soon it will happen or how whether it'll apply to current devices.
I'm also not totally convinced that the carriers won't try and succeed in vetoing this new policy. Granted, they've allowed the Nexus, but they haven't promoted that device either. Hopefully they will get the message though and not stand in the way.
if a sprint store can downgrade a phone. why can't we do it as easily? I want to know exactly how they do it so we can spread the word. :-D

Seconded. The only way to rollback 2.3 is to remove the chips and force flash them via a programmer. I have done this ONCE just to see if it could be done. To be honest, no customer would ever pay the cost of having it done and even if they would I can't tie up the service center that long for one customer.
Hello,
This device will be launching on Oct 28.
I need to know if something needs to be extracted for dev use before we root our phones. I plan on rooting this as soon as i get it, so if the devs need anything, it would be a good idea to tell me what and how to extract it. Im new to the rooting/hacking idea but im a computer technician so a simple explaination will be enough.
Cheers!
My only hope is that it isn't too much different from the 989, I also hope that there aren't as many issues with the screen as the T-Mobile version :/
actually, i was hoping to capture an original image before we even root the phone
just in case we need to flash back for warranty purposes
your best bet is to contact bubby323 that have already created one for the Tmo USA version

Hey AllGamer,

i confirmed availability on the Best Buy stores around my area
i'll be picking one up at lunch time or after work
Does the telus version have the vertical line and blotting issue?
I'm pretty sure it's the same manufacturing line for the t-mobile version. Just a different carrier lock and ROM added in the end.
Up until the software, I don't see why they would manufacture it differently.
So i do suspect that it has the same issues as the t-mobile. Perhaps a smaller percentage since there isn't as many in canada and hopefully the QC got better for the second batch.
I do doubt it's as wide-spread as it appears on the forums. They've probably made millions of these phones that are perfectly fine.
bought my phone in downtown Montreal this morning,
screen is fine.
dont know what date is was manufactured, i cant seem to find the information...

While the ideal test would be to put it against a Sprint unit that are known to have good screens, it may still be useful to put it next to a T-Mobile phone and take pictures while running the test described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320942
This would at least show us any differences between T-Mobile and Telus displays.
2 questions:
Are these telus branded? i.e. is Telus logo on the face of the phone like the T-Mobile version or does it just say samsung.
Can one root and unlock it to use on rogers or must one buy unlock code from online site?
Could you test the screen and see if it has issues as our tmous screen?

Hope ur not thinking "DUH" after reading, but have you seen the Snapdragon Toolkit by mskip in the T-Mo Android Development section? It's really a great tool, and one of the things it does rather quickly and easily is backup your firmware as a NANDROID backup image or it also gives you the choice to create a .tar file for ODIN to restore it. Just thought if you didn't already know about it or know how without it, it might help ya with pulling this new firmware. Of course, you'd have to talk to him (and/or teach him) about doing it - that or find someone else who's got it! I can't tonight, but tomorrow noon-ish, I'll see if I can find the updated firmware myself! If you haven't found it by then, I'd be happy to pull it for ya if I find it! Hope that helps! Have a good night!
Just bought my s3 saturday, I had that same software. Running what was clUned to be newest on here now, but baseband still shows t999UVLG1

For those of you that have this "new" software version, does your universal search work?
Long press the capacitive menu button, and enter a search term to see if it searched your whole phone or just the web (if it searches your whole phone, things like contacts and media will come up - if it just searches the web, only Google web based results will show)
FYI: When I first got my phone with UVALEM (ordered first day), pretty much the first thing I did was install Kies to sync with Outlook. At that time, it read the firmware version correctly, and said that it was not compatible with firmware upgrades. That changed about two days later.
Would like an answer to the universal search question.

I thought the question marks after Dev unlocked denoted a question....

Sorry, probably stated poorly. Can't upgrade, can't Unlock. Just frustrated.
How did you get pre software

So, me and my brother live in the same town. Obviously both are on Verizon and have HTC One's. But my phone is on 1.10605.2 whereas his was on 1.10.605.8 and got the update. Im not necessarily worried about taking the update, I just dont know why my phone cant find it. And even though I'm on pre-release software, HTCDev unlock still doesn't work. ???

is your phone an s off test phone if youve got pre-release software? unfortunately,thats typically how OTAs work. only specific builds will OTA. leaks and pre-release builds often will not.
youll need to manually update to .8
if your s off,you can prolly run the de-crypted ruu,or you could install recovery.
if your s on,and got the phone legitimately,contact vzw and see if they can do anyting for you. otherwise your stuck until an ruu is released,or until you root,install a custom recovery and flash a rom.
Can't you do a factory reset back to the original .8 software version? (It sounded like you went back a version to try to get it unlocked)

no. factory reset only erases user data. it does not restore any firmware or software.
There was a major delay on the Verizon version, they had to open all the phones and relash the software, that's another reason they had a extra month delay. It looks like you are on a old software. Unless you s-off you might be stuck on that that without an ruu to flash

@OP,
If you are not unlocked/rooted, I'd go to Verizon and ask them to give you a NEW phone, not a refurb.

You really think that'd work? I had thought about sending it to Sonic as the only alternative.

I had my first One blow the earpiece speaker (ok, it got dropped ) and I went to several Verizon stores to get try and get a warranty replacement. All of the stores would warranty it no problem but because I was out of the 14 day purchase window, I had to have them ship me one. I got a returned unit, not a refurb that is perfect. They overnighted me the phone but would not replace in-store because of the elapsed time.
So, a heads up to you: You could find a cool rep at the store but be prepared to have one shipped to you. Just find a reason to warranty it (like camera issues or a blown earpiece) and you will probably get a new or returned unit. No refurbs yet.
Or, wait for s-off/send to sonic and load updated, better custom ROMs.

Well actually I'd call the 1-800-922-0204 press #0, then 0, until it asks for you account password, then wait for a rep. then explain your issue, and tell them because of the way the phone is meant to stay together you don't want a refurb not too mention this is not your fault, it's theirs, if you get a crappy rep, hang up and try again.
I called back 4 times once and finally got the nicest lady and solved my issue.
Hello, just out of no where today I had a problem the exact same as in this video: http://youtu.be/drZc4ZPcuvo. It has finally went back to normal but now the screen is constantly flickering. Seems to me like a dodgy GPU or LCD connector. Any ideas amyone?
I posted almost the exact same issue a few weeks ago if you search for it. Yeah with my 1st G3 this happened and I had to return it.

I just returned it and they gave me a new one so I never found out. Was a bit nervous as I had an unlocked bootloader etc but they never checked.

I see in your post you factory reset it, did that help at all?

HI, I see that you mentioned that you unlocked your bootloader. I hadn't yet heard of an exploit? This is a deciding factor for me in switching over to this device. Can you shed a little light on the exploit that you used? Is it publicly available? Did you get a device that already had the bootloader unlocked?(doesn't sound like it because otherwise I doubt you would fear them having an issue with it). Which devices is the exploit available for?(int, att, tmo, etc) Tha:good:nks in advance

No, it didn't help. Nothing helped. There was obviously something hardware wise that was broken. The only thing I can think that did it was that I was messing around in the developer options with GPU rendering soon before it happened. Incidentally on my 2nd replacement handset I had a few what looked like screen glitches, the screen almost flashed off and on a few times. I put that down to using the nomone resolution app when it happened.

Sorry, it wasn't unlocked, it was rooted and I had installed a new Rom from the development section.

Im really not sure, it may have just been the GPU overheating or something, or some kind of power loss im not sure, ill keep watch on it this week.
Haven't had this issue since, so it was a one off!
