7 pages of anticipation.....still no OTA....
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
@atischenko Erhm try flashing the zip file in there like how its explained in the post....
[HTC Incredible S] atischenko:
I get it!!!

Goldcard helps me, but to receive correct sd cid via ADB on IS we need to write cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid

because of mmc1 - is empty and mmc0 - is internal storage

I hope this info will be usefull for somebody :)

Anjoing Android 2.3.3

Use MoreLocales to select your language
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
@atischenko, gratz :)
[HTC Incredible S] Xperiazz:
@atischenko

get the CID for the sdcard by exec this on terminal

"adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid" cuz IS considers microsd as mmc2 not mmc1 nor mmc0[internal storage]:cool:
[HTC Incredible S] atischenko:
Thanks i already know about this, see my post above :)

Do you have version 2.3.3 by ? gold card method has failed (error 131)

[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Great! Hope it will come soon to the rest! BTW this isn't discovered by engadget, but by our own dev mister prophet!
[HTC Incredible S] John Anderton:
Great to finally see Gingerbread. Hope they release it worldwide soon :) I bought my phone from India and have the stock ROM on it. Does HTC release the general English ROMS country wise (in which case I'd need to wait for HTC India to wake up) or will the global ROM come to me immediately? Any way to find out?

Also, sad to see we aren't going to get a taste of HTC Sense 3.0. I think they are saving that for HTC Sensation :(
[HTC Incredible S] Gihanfx:
oh, i thought we will get Sense 3.0 :(

how to root
[HTC Incredible S] Prisonierung:
Anybody there who got the update OTA???
[HTC Incredible S] bahaddin:
where and when ?Did you come to your device
[HTC Incredible S] venezia64:
Gingerbreak works (i received an error message but the root process worked in the end). Reboot. It will install su in system/bin. Then just install busybox using this installer for example.

You're good to go!
[HTC Incredible S] Enes_81:
Are you S-OFF? I tried it on my S-ON, after wating more then 30 minutes nothing happened.
[HTC Incredible S] Fisk91:
Tested the app and the manual way of rooting with gingerBreaker, it did NOT work on the incredible s. Some have suggested that changing memory card will do it, i will test again when i have an extra card
[HTC Incredible S] noobrooter99:
I need help. Am I wasting my time here.

I've tried multiple Gold Cards

I have a Bell Canada IS, S-on, Branded phone (locked SIM)

I keep getting error 130 / Model ID error

I am trying to update to the GB Aus Virgin Rom through RUU
[HTC Incredible S] gemini002:
Yes I have this problem too on my unlocked bell is-on
[HTC Incredible S] bshihada:
I got the same 131 error few days ago. The problem was that the CID reading was taken from the internal storage not the actual SD card. I downloaded the goldcard helper from the market. I got the correct CID reading from the second storage (the external micro sd card). Everything worked and I was able to flash my system. No issue with S-ON.
[HTC Incredible S] noobrooter99:
I gave up. It might have been a carrier issue, but I believe I did everything right. The gold card was done right for sure. I tried three different SD cards. I think Bell had HTC lock it up somehow. Bastards are really making it tough these days. You'd think for $500, you should be able to do whatever you want. HTC should make the phones stock, with various degrees of customization. The more open you want your device, the less warranty or whatever you get. IMO anyway.

[HTC Incredible S] rajeshr:
Hmm - doesn't the Bell model come with a different radio than the Australian (or international) one? If so, isn't there a chance you would brick your phone installing a ROM for another model on yours?
[HTC Incredible S] noobrooter99:
That's possible, but there's the RUU from Sasktel up there. It should be the same as the bell phone. It was worth a try. I thought most of us are using H or 3G bands anyway.

[HTC Incredible S] checkbox111:
Am i right when i think that the HTC sense update is also included in the same package? there's some usefull bits on the desire s i would mind on my incredibles :)
[HTC Incredible S] Cardiiiii:
Can anyone actually confirm that they have received the official OTA update?
[HTC Incredible S] MarylandCookie:
I tried Gingerbreak on a Desire S (I know IS forum lol) and used a blank sdcard coverted to a gold card and had a temp root with super user installed (with S-ON), however most apps force closed on me probably due to the NAND lock.

I even tried a second time but with ROM Manager pre-installed just for laughs but due to the SD Card unmounted from GingerBreak, ROM Manager wouldnt do anything and i know flashing a recovery would be pointless due to the signature check but i wanted to see how far i can go.

I guess we now need the good old HTC developers to work on this exploit to unlock the NAND in the process then were good to go.

P.S

ChainFire has provided the source to his app under the GPL license.

Hope this helps...
[HTC Incredible S] checkbox111:
I think they're rolling out in Italy first, then spreading to the rest of the world.
[HTC Incredible S] Cardiiiii:
Is there any particular reason to release an OTA update one country or part of the world at a time by HTC? Surely if the update is meant for unlocked devices, makes sense if everyone gets it at the same time?
[HTC Incredible S] Dodolom:
It might be a little Off-Topic but kinda related to the 2.3.2 upgrade....

I have the Desire S and it takes pictures instantly which is a feature I saw on the HTC Sensation introduction in London couple of weeks ago. I had the Incredible S for couple of days but can't remember if it took pictures instantly.

What I am trying to ask is, is the 2.3.3 upgrade going to change the picture taking speed for the Incredible S? (assuming that it had a second or two delay with the 2.2 froyo)

I hope i made some sense :)
[HTC Incredible S] cooljais:
It is instant, Might be a 1 sec delay. the moment i touch the button on screen , the picture is captured.
[HTC Incredible S] Dodolom:
Was it always like that or did this feature become available with the 2.3.3?
[HTC Incredible S] mrHD2:
There are several reasons why HTC decided to distribute initially from Italy.

(1) This update was originally called the 'flee a tyranny' update, and it, like those people in north africa will arrive in Italy first then spread to the rest of the globe :rolleyes:

(2) Italian owners gave HTC the best feedback about the device (theya loooooooove it) :)

(3) The CEO at HTC has any Italian mother :eek:

(4) The CEO at HTC likes pizza :)
[HTC Incredible S] Dodolom:
Funny :)
[HTC Incredible S] bippo:
OTA???

But there is no confirmation jet (after few days of rumors) from somebody in Italy witch got OTA. Very peculiar!! Pizza?? :confused::o
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
Italian mom? Since when did italians go around marrying people from taiwan and giving birth to CEO's O_o
[HTC Incredible S] cooljais:
It was always like this.

Haven't updated it to 2.3.3 yet. Still running on stock 2.2.1.
[HTC Incredible S] mrHD2:
Nothing peculiar about someone from Taiwan eating pizza, went to Vietnam once and they were eating it. It was German Shepherd Dog pizza, but none the less, pizza :rolleyes:
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
There isn't any OTA for the Incredibl S. I doubt there was ever one in Italy.
[HTC Incredible S] Prisonierung:
I also dont believe, that anybody got this update OTA. You only can read about this in the news, by the way, always the same message, but I haven't heard about people, that really got the OTA update.
[HTC Incredible S] checkbox111:
'According to Engadget, Italian owners of the HTC Incredible S have already started to receive the OTA (over-the-air) Android 2.3.3 update'.

http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=14365

Just google 'htc incredible s gingerbread', there's lots of positive links
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
So nobody with an Incredible S from Italy comes to xda to post...what is the odds of that?
[HTC Incredible S] Edward Lowy:
I can't see that anyone has got the OTA update. Looks like a rumour given the authority of fact before it has happened, and then continual regurgitation around the internet.
[HTC Incredible S] JmExperia:
I have talked with HTC support in Denmark and they said that, here the upgrade will come at the end of Q2 or even as late as start to middle of Q3 :(

Kind regards

[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
I believe (and hope) that HTC had it ready, but have now delayed it in the wake of 2.3.4 being released. It would be madness not to support video calling on a device which has a front facing camera
[HTC Incredible S] cooljais:
hw come nobody from italy with an incredible s is not on xda. atleast 1 should be there. guess this was just a rumour as suggested above.

just keeping hopes of gingerbread down for some more time.

htc, pls release it soon, the wait is killing.
[HTC Incredible S] Dodolom:
I don't think it was a rumor. Here is a video below that is on youtube from Italy that was actually posted on April 20th which is even before this rumor was floating around. You can clearly see that these guys have the 2.3.3 on both devices. @18.23 on the video you can see that he has 2.3.3 on the device.

[YOUTUBE]707XX27hRnE[/YOUTUBE]

Also, there is a guy on eBay from the UK selling his device that he has Gingerbread on. He says he bought the device from CarphoneWarehouse and I just asked him how he got the 2.3.3 on it. I'll post later if I hear something back.
[HTC Incredible S] Edward Lowy:
I suspect that people have Gingerbread, but not OTA.

Patience is a virtue, I see no signs of it being released formally by HTC at the moment.

Actually Froyo is very good indeed on the IS, I am in no hurry. My experience of Gingerbread on the Desire S was that it had a number of bugs and no game changing improvements.
[HTC Incredible S] Cardiiiii:
There is no doubting that the device in the video is running Gingerbread, but whether it was an official OTA update is a different issue entirely.
[HTC Incredible S] cooljais:
Exactly......
[HTC Incredible S] mrHD2:
If we are ever to have law and order in the West, the first thing we gotta do is take out all the lawyers and shoot 'em down like dogs :D
[HTC Incredible S] Edward Lowy:
You have a point there! Sorry it does read rather legalese! (hope this terrible English redresses the balance...)

I think on this occasion Engadget picked up the rumour from here, folk here started repeating it, and the web bots keep repeating it again. I have not seen a single confirmation of any Italian saying its happening nor have I seen it on HTC's Italian site.
[HTC Incredible S] Dodolom:
So this is the response I got from the guy who is selling his 2.3.3 Incredible S device on eBay, when I asked him how he got it.

The 2.3.3 version was first released in Australia before Italy. As you said the Italian version hasn't been leaked yet.

The Australian version works perfectly here in the UK although I had to add the English UK and English US locales using "MoreLocale 2" (it only comes with English AU and English NZ):

https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale

A WWE version should be available soon given Paul'oBrien managed to get it.

I hope this helps to some of us here.
[HTC Incredible S] Dodolom:
Hi again guys,

I just got a tweet response from Paul O'Brien regarding his earlier tweet about the Gingerbread for the Incredible S. So, it seems like he will post it next week.

Also, the guy from the eBay listing gave me the link for the Australian Gingerbread which turns out that it is the last link on the Shipped ROMs thread.

Not officially, no. Updates are region-specific. Simply trying to install this onto your phone if it's from a different region won't work. You'd have to use a Goldcard to install this on your phone if you're not in the correct region.

I would imagine you'll either need to wait for an RUU, or downgrade to the old 1.36.405 FroYo ROM and then check for the update. I'm on the Australian Virgin ROM in the UK too, so if I see an update I will shout - otherwise I'm going to try downgrading and checking for an update when I get home tonight.
[HTC Incredible S] krozo:
i just got the update Norway netcom :D
[HTC Incredible S] ddic:
Same situation here, in Romania. I have already flashed the Virgin ROM and till now i didn't get any OTA update. Probably we'll not get any update, as we are already on 2.3.3 and the build is also higher.

But the question is: is there any differences between the Virgin ROM and this released over the air?
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
I know its kinda offtopic, but if you want HTC Sense 3.0 lockscreen you can get it here - and its working with IncS with GB.
[HTC Incredible S] ddic:
Already tried and is not working. The HtcLockScreen.apk will not install. I think it will work only on rooted devices, because the application need permissions to overwrite the existing one.

One question: do you loose your apps / data in the upgrade process from 2.2 to 2.3?
[HTC Incredible S] Madeli:
And sweden got the OTA today :)
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
Yes, you'll lose all data and settings on the phone, although any data you've got on the SD card will be untouched.
[HTC Incredible S] mehmet1978:
Update done, unbranded IS (france)

Android 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1, 2.12.405.7

no, that's the best part with an OTA update : no loss

the apps, the settings, contacts, messages, ...
[HTC Incredible S] smatharu:
Need to be on wi-fi?

Just curious to know whether the OTA update happened over a wi-fi connection or over standard HSDPA/3G etc? It's a big file so just wondering whether HTC have restricted it to a wi-fi only download?

Cheers!

I've been around for a while now, and I've learned a lot about android, more specifically the epic 4g. I have learned what roms, kernels, and themes are. Now here's my question, when android websites post something that has to do with an htc phone leak, they always say "the RUU leaked" What is an RUU? I'm assuming its an HTC thing only, because I've never seen that being used in the epic section.

after permroot i did factory reset and then the visionary app and superuser app went away. now even after reinstalling both of them my proxy app doesnt work , it gives an error saying failed to start redirect.sh (permission denied) . now is my DHD still rooted or not , if it is still rooted then how can i make the proxy app work ?

thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
try to root using visionary again, if you are rooted at the moment simply nothing will happen if you use it
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Edit; You shouldn't have lost root by factory reset alone, but stranger things have happened. Not sure about the proxy app.

DL Superuser again (or as suggested/implied), reintall the Visionary will install Superuser as well.

Certain apps need required SU permissions from Superuser. When prompted by Superuser, grant SU rights to that app you are running.

Alternatively;

1. DL & install Superuser & Terminal Emulator from the Market

2. Run Terminal emulator

3. Type "su"

4. When prompted give superuser rights

5. Terminal Emulator prompt will change to "#" if you still have root

Edit: If you still have root & Superuser permission for the proxy app, try reboot in CWM Recovery & "fix permissions". You can do from within ROM Manager, but I prefer to do in CWM Recovery when the phone hasn't booted the partitions.

Make a backup in CWM Recovery prior to doing anything.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjiki:
Just sharing.. once I accidentally denied the permission to root access for one app and the setting was to remember it. It took me a while before I realized this and change it in superuser setting.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yashovinaypipada:
i tried the terminal emulator and after typing su it said permission denied , and yeah my titanium backup isnt working coz it says dat it needs root now.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Yep, you lost root.

Try visionary again, and make sure superuser rights are given when asked by superuser.

UPDATE: Just added Portal icons and image hack to give your WP7 a complete Portal theme. Check it out...

With Portal 2 out today, I thought some might like the Portal 2 transparent wallpaper I created for the WP7.

I have a question as well. Anyone know a way to access a zip file later on that has been downloaded on to the WP7? A commenter had mentioned you can download, open and install the transparent wallpaper right from the WP7 instead of emailing it to yourself saving a few steps but the problem is, with no file system and as far as I know, no zip app, there seems to be no way to find the downloaded zip file later on.

The only thing I came up with was to bookmark the zip file before opening. If anyone has a better idea, please let me know.
