[Q] The latest/current verion on ATT model - HTC Desire Eye

Hi guys,
What's the current firmware version on ATT model? Mine is on 1.15.502.7, however on HTC website, there's a version 1.15.502.8. Should I upgrade to this version or they are the same?
Thanks!

.8 is the latest, the release notes basically come down to VoLTE improvements.

I ended up updating it via RUU, but had to lock the bootloader prior to it; is that normal?

Yeah, if you are updating via RUU you have to go back to stock recovery and lock the bootloader. All super easy to come back from after flashing though!

Thanks! So,basically, I'll have to unlock the bootloader again and then root it?

A little help over here! If I want to update via RUU, do I need to be s-off?
I'm on at&t model, full stock, .7 software, already downloaded .8

No you don't.

i dont know, i got this phone a week ago and tried the ota updater and it had nothing. this just popped up today. i do not plan to install it either way but are you sure this is the same update?
I'm 99% sure. If you update you won't be able to root phone until HTC release new unlock.
My WFS has bootloader unlocked, S-ON and rooted, running JxMatteoROM v1.1.
No need to use any updates from HTC anymore. I froze update with link2sd and no more nag to install it.

Update hox Vodafone version

Hi folks,
I bought my HOX from Amazon. Apparently it came up with HTC rom + slight changes did by the European mobile phone company Vodafone.
Currently, the operating system version is 4.0.3
Sense version is 4.0
Software version 1.29.161.13
Keneral 2.6.39.4-g1389c4c root @ ABM041 # 1 SMP PREEMPT
The problem: I did not get the latest update, and from what I understand, it depends on Vodafone's mood.
I want to have the stock rom, HTC original, no extra and no need to depend any gesture of goodwill of a cellular company.
How could I do this?
Thank you!

Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832891.
All the info you need is there. Basically you will need to unlock your phone via HTCdev and then flash custom recovery and root and then you can flash whatever One X rom you want, even stock.

I don't think he could use a newer RUU, cause it has to match his CID and his phone is locked to Vodafone it seems.

If I'll change to stock:

Is your phone locked to Vodafone? I believe you can't change to stock, you are locked to that version and their updates if you don't unlock your bootloader.

If you're running on 100% stock Vodafone you have to wait on them to push the update - you can't use an unbranded RUU

What's RUU? And what if I'll root, unlock and install HTC original stock rom? In the future I still won't get official OTA updates?
RUU = ROM Upgrade Utility
If you went custom you could still get OTAs but I wouldn't recommend it as it tends to screw up the phone

HTC sell the One X SIM-free which has stock, unbranded FW on it. They also supply carriers with their own version of the FW with the carrier's own apps/settings, etc. With older HTC handsets if you can set it to S-OFF (or use a Gold Card) you can 'debrand' the phone and change it to be the SIM-free version. You can't do that with the One X so unless you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM you will ONLY get updates from Vodafone UK. If you go custom it's recommended you do not apply OTA updates as it can cause problems

Boot issues
Hi everyone,
I just flashed the boot.img and installed the Root_And_BusyBox.zip file via TWRP. After a reboot, my device is stuck at the boot screen (white screen with green HTC logo and red warning about development build). Apparently it finishes booting, because when I touch the screen I can feel it respond, I can even hear the unlock sound. However the screen always stays the same. Holding the power button doesn't reboot the phone either.
Any ideas how I can get this to work again?
Thank you very much!

Hi guys,
I am currently running stock rom and software version 3.28.709.5. I rooted with hassoon AIO Toolkit.
My questions are these :
1) should I unroot my device and follow the instructions to have access to OTA updates?
2) since my device version seems to be newer than recommended one by Mike, will Mikes method work with my version?
3) when people say that you can't process OTA updates when rooted and running a custom recovery, does that mean you literally cannot see any available updates under the HTC software update section? Or that you can see the update but cannot install it?
Thanks all especially Mike!

Try holding down the power button + vol. up
It's the equivalent of a battery pull, and might clear stuff up.
You'll have to hold it down for 20 seconds or so. Be patient and wait for it to reboot before letting go.
Hi xunholyx,
Thanks for your reply, I didnt know about the Vol down in this case. With my last phone it was just holding the power button.
Anyway, what I did is wait until the battery died, then I was able to get into fastboot mode again. It seems there was something wrong with the boot.img. After I flashed the stock one again it worked fine. Not sure why it didn't want to work...

I can only speak for number 3. You will see the updates, but when you try to install them it will boot into your custom recovery, then installation will fail. Only flashing the stock recovery back will let you install the OTA. After that you can flash your custom recovery again.

Hi, question:
When S-Off and Super-CID set, do I get OTAs offered? And if, which ones?
To be clear: I know how to install OTAs from here via stock recovery from SD-card, but I don't find a clear answer to the question above.

I don't use Xposed and as far as i know haven't made any changes in /system. I might have used only the SD card permission fixer app. Not sure if that affects /system.
So if I unroot and follow this method I can have access to ota updates? Even if I'm using newer software version?

You would have to downgrade your firmware to what is stock for you before getting OTAs.

You have to downgrade your firmware to match the version of stock ROM you are using (4.4.3 i presume?).
If you are worrying about getting OTAs using the new software version, then it is not stock for you.
Maybe it is me who is misunderstanding. Did you manually update your firmware? Then it is probably not stock for you.
The OTA would have contained the new firmware.
If you need OTAs, you will have to S-Off and downgrade.
Unless I was misunderstanding what you were asking.
Edit: I see now by reading back to the beginning that I did misunderstand.
I think this method will still work, but I will check to make sure. BRB

When I got the phone a week ago I'm pretty sure it was already 4.4. I processed 1 OTA, which was called the HTC Eye experience, I then unlocked and rooted using a all in one toolkit. I am now still 4.4 kitkat.
I thought the software version and firmware was the same thing?
My current software version is 3.28.709.5
And for some reason I can't see anything when I use adb getvar version-main.
I didn't manually load anything except for unlocking bootloader and rooting.
I want to process OTA in the future without unrooting but Mike the OP listed a different software version.
As you answered me in a different thread you know I'm asking about how to get my version main back.

check firmware version?

So I managed to flash a rooted developer edition rom on my m9 and when I tried to run ota updates, I got an error saying that it couldn't finish because my phone's software has been modified. After some searching around (and admiditantly some arguing), found out that it's because my firmware doesn't match my android version. I'm still running android 5.0.2 and I don't THINK I messed with the firmware. So how do I check the firmware version and find either a rom (preferably as close to stock as possible) or a ruu that will work for the software/firmware versions that I'm using?
Please do a "fastboot getvar all" and post here.

Rename it to 0PJA100.zip
Put it in root of your card(fat32 formatted).
Boot in download(make sure you have sufficient battery) and follow instructions.

If you have S-OFF it's simple to convert, I'll show you a little tutorial.
If you don't have S-OFF it's impossible and you'll be stuck with this firmware if you won't get an AT&T sim.

I don't have S-offor or the $25 for sunshine. Shouldn't there be a t-mobile, MetroPCS or developer rom or ruu that's compatible with the firmware I'm using?

You can only flash AT&T because of CID, every carrier have different CID and because that the different RUU will give you error.
Only with S-OFF you can change CID and MID and flash any GSM RUU.
So, you're stuck with 1.32.502.9 firmware until you get an AT&T sim to update it or s-off it.
With this firmware you can only flash custom roms with Android version 5.x and some 6.0.x but just few 6.0.x and maybe will be unstable.

Ah, okay. So basically, I have to go back to AT&T then use a series of ruu files to work my way to nougat then finally flash the custom rom?

Or you can just flash this RUU, then update it from settings, it's more simple.

That's actually why I tried flashing a rom. AT&T won't let you get updates unless you're using their sim card for some ungodly reason.

I understand what you tried but it's impossible to jump firmware to 2.xx.502.xx or more with RUU, this can be done only with OTA on S-ON phones.

Is it possible to go from one ruu to the next until I get the phone to nougat though?

No, you cannot update it to 2.xx.502.xx or more with RUU, just OTA, Flippy explained you why in the other thread(different encryption between 1.... 2... 3... and 4... firmwares).
So the only way to update your firmware is to flash the RUU I give you(don't flash twrp, root,etc), get an AT&T sim and update it from settings until you reach nougat.
I don't explain it one more time... I think I explained the same thing in different ways 3-4 times....

Excuse me. I was thinking/hoping software provided by HTC themselves would be able to upgrade the firmware along with the OS instead of forcing everyone to be stuck with the only option for software upgrades from a carrier that we don't even want/use. It only makes sense that if it can be done on samsung phones, which I've rooted and flashed several times, it could also be done on HTC. So it looks like the only way to get nougat is to suck AT&T's ****. Thanks.
