Only Unrooted and S-On People!!!

Me for Example!!!::::

Network: Three UK

S-On: Yes

Unrooted: Yes

Updated: No

Current: 2.3.3 Sense 2.1

Thanks!!!!! :)
[HTC Desire S] Drummansam:
I received it yesterday.

T-Mobile, S-on, unbranded, unrooted.

Can't get any non HTC made skins to work with it though :(
[HTC Desire S] WibblyW:
I don't think anyone with a stock T-Mobile UK branded phone (S-ON, non-rooted) has seen this update yet.
[HTC Desire S] flippperkam:
I asked HTC about it on their Chat thingy on their website someone told me "I am please to say that The Update is going live in Europe, but unfortunatly Orange UK id the only carrier getting the update at the moment." At least we know it's on the way! I guess.

I then said but Unbranded, T - Mobile, Vodaphone and others are getting it, the he repeated himself!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Only got it today on orange!
[HTC Desire S] Bhargava28:
Network - Talkmobile (vodafone Internet)

S-ON - Yes

Unrooted - Yes

Updated - No

Current: 2.3.3 Sense 2.1

I think it's something to do with me having 1.28 software number and not 1.47, anyone with 1.28 been able to update?
[HTC Desire S] shuikit:
I'm in the same boat, totally stock and unmolested unbranded 1.28 and no update :-(
[HTC Desire S] Bhargava28:
Contacted HTC and they said it will take time but everyone will get it
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
While I was on 1.28 I couldnt even get updates to 1.47 never mind this one. I asked HTC to reflash my ROM to 1.47 a few days ago. This Android 2.3.5/Sense 3 update arrived last night and I have been playing about with it all day :)
[HTC Desire S] Bhargava28:
Unbranded? Also will I lose my data if they do this?
[HTC Desire S] sm.vassallo:
where do you find this information?
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
Yes unbranded. Your data will Most definitely be lost! Thats why you should back up any contacts to SD Card/Google Contacts. Calender to Google Calender. Tasks are more complicated :) Wireless and other settings can also be backed up.
[HTC Desire S] mx5_white:
I have an UK DS, completely original and standard (2.3.3 and 1.28.401.1). Using it on Dutch KPN network and also no update.
[HTC Desire S] dozerman:

I recieved it on Tuesday unbranded stock 1.47 good update.
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
As stated in another thread, I received my DS 2 days ago, and it came branded O2 with latest Android and Sense 3.0.
[HTC Desire S] iang123:
How did you get it?
[HTC Desire S] Necrosis01:
Vodafone UK offered update download to my phone last night. Did noy install as I have rooted Desire S.

Installed Sense 3.0 custom ROM (sagav3.zip) last night.

All seems OK so far.
[HTC Desire S] iang123:
Ok, haven't seen anything yet from orange uk.
[HTC Desire S] tele27:
Same, I haven't recieved any update...

Stock Android 2.3.3 1.28 ..

Unbranded.. has anyone tried the update.zip method ??? Some people have updated their non rooted and s-on ds.. if I update to sense 3.0 will I still recieve future updates?
[HTC Desire S] peemick:

My mate was s-on and on 1.28 and he just ran the official ruu. Worked flawlessly!

its not an OTA its an official update program to update your phones rom officially. it can be found here

No. Look at the bottom of the first post. There is an official DUI for the brand new sense 3;)

[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
If u are stock s-on and have an unbranded European device just download the new sense 3 version and run it from your pc following the instructions it gives
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
Excuse me if I'm missing something here, as I'm a total newbie to flashing the ROMs, so I need help to understand something:

- I understand that the OTA update is incremental, i.e. the particular file sent out is targetted at devices with a very specific existing version (say, 1.47.x.x) and adds or replaces specific files. I'm assuming it doesn't wipe the entire device because I hear that user programs stay intact,

So, how does the RUU update work? Is this an entire new device OS which will work with any unlocked european DS (rather than just an update)?

You'll understand that I don't want to risk damaging my DS which is still at an early version of the software (1.28) if the RUU is intended for 1.47 only.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
You are exactly right. My friend was sat next to me when I ran the ruu for his phone. He was on version 1.28 european unbranded phone and worked flawlessly!
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
That's reassuring, thank you.

Do you know if your friend has experienced any of the reported bugs like the lack of power-off menu?

I'm wondering if the appearance (or not) of these various bugs depends on the exact software state of the phone if the OTA update is applied. Maybe using the RUU will avoid this.
[HTC Desire S] Phil71:
Be careful, I think it does. Says in red on the installer that "this update will delete all information and data on your phone"
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
Thanks, but actually I don't mind if my device is completely wiped, in many ways I'd rather have a completely "clean" install.

I was trying to understand the difference between doing the OTA update and applying the RUU published on here.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
We kept trying all weekend to replicate the reported bugs but we couldn't reproduce any of them. My guess is that using the ruu is the better option as its the complete new Rom. Not just a patch for the old 1.

My desire s is still on 2.3.3 sense 2.1 and is a unbranded handset is there a issue with software version 1.28.401.1 not updating.

Thanks for any reply David.

They replied with Dear david hodgson,

Thank you for contacting HTC.

I understand that you are currently experiencing difficulties with Updating your phone.

I believe that the reason for this is because of a software issue.

The HTC Desire S, android 2.3.5 & Sense 3.0 software update via FOTA is being rolled out as we speak, To unbranded devices. The servers can only handle 30,000 updates a day so you will have to be patient but you should receive the update within the next 14 working days. If your device is branded to a network e.g. 3, please wait for the network to release their branded software. The update is only available ota (over the air). There is also no way of installing an unbranded update on a branded device.

And i still aint got a update:(:mad:
[HTC Desire S] zelfinvullen:
I'm also That's a better answer than i got from HTC Netherlands. I'm on a unbranded UK Desire S and still on 1.28. All they could say was that "the 2.3.5 update is not yet released for the UK". Which i doubt is true, seeing all the posts here.

You have been connected to Luke.

Luke: Hi Rich, thank you for contacting HTC Support. How may I help you today?

Rich (me): HI Luke

Rich (me): I have a desire s and was wondering if there is any reason I have not received the FOTA update

Luke: Can you provide me with your IMEI number so I can see what branding is on your phone and whether the update is out for you

Rich (me): IMEI xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Luke: thanks

Luke: Okay you are unbranded the roll out process is currently on going and will be for the next few weeks. You will recieve the update when we reach you on the list

Luke: The update is sent to a small number of phones at a time to ease congestion on the server

Rich (me): ok, could the software version i have on my phone(1.28.401.1) mean i dont receive it, because i didnt receive an ota update earlier in the year either. that updated the software version to 1.47.401.4 i beleive

Luke: You will still get the update.

Luke: I was just checking

Luke: That update was pulled due to instabilty

[HTC Desire S] madmike171:
After noticing on here and many other forums that people with the software number 1.28.401.1 have not recieved any updates since 1.47 (itself included) I contacted HTC support via the web chat.

Their first response (In my original statement I mentioned the whole 1.28 problem) was to ask me to try a factory reset and then scan for updates which should give me 1.47, and then android and sense updates when they reach my serial number.

I tried this but the only updates I got was two updates for the updater, as mentioned before in this and other forums, which did nothing.

I returned to the web chat and luckily got connected to the same agent! He then booked my phone in for repair, where they will manually flash the new updates for me!

So, anyone stuck on software number 1.28, get over to HTC support as it may take 7 days but I do believe this is currently the only way you'll get android 2.3.5 and sense 3.0.

Feel free to thank me if I've helped ;)
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
If you are stock and unbranded, you can run the RUU yourself (it's on XDA)
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
I was in a similar position stuck at 1.28, but after reading so many reports about HTC "repair" damaging people's phones, I decided to flash the RUU of 2.10 from here. It really was very straightforward.
[HTC Desire S] darkdrums:
Snap.

Why be without your phone for a week (or so) when you can flash the official RUU from the comfort of your preferred computer chair. Job done in less then ten minutes :)

What a **** up leaving a lot of owners potentially stranded on an older software version, even worse not to put out a quick statement on Facebook or Twitter informing people.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
i know! and htc will just run the RUU anyway probably, if you send it to them to flash the software for you
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
What they will most likely do is flash to 1.47 Rom. That's what they did for me. Then you should receive the Sense 3 update a few days later.
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
But why not go directly to the new rom if you can. It is perfectly safe
[HTC Desire S] chips78:
Sorry for being a moron but i have 2 queries as i still havent got the update

I have a CPW desire s with a vodafone sim, can someone please tell me which link i need to use

I tried one of the links yesterday and when i ran it it said that it was trying to check my phone but it couldnt see it, i have it plugged in via usb and tried most of the tethering options but it wouldnt work, also my pc couldnt find the right drivers to recognize the phone properly

Please help
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Have you installed HTC sync on your PC?
[HTC Desire S] chips78:
dont think so, i will try that. Just need the correct file now. The phone is unbranded so dont know if i need the vodafone one
[HTC Desire S] djisgod:
because i think people want there default operator version not the standard htc one and there is no ruu for the vodafone desire s yet.

We will be! There’s no timeline in place at the moment though I’m afraid. We’ll let you know more when we can

[HTC Desire S] madmike171:
Thats exactly what they've done so I'll give flashing a go if its that straight forward
[HTC Desire S] madmike171:
I tried flashing the new Rom last night and it was way easier than I imagined it would be - no more complicated than transferring mp3s.

If your unbranded and unlocked, just do it, it's almost like having a new phone!

My wife's Desire S received the update yesterday. Her phone was (is) unrooted, unbranded, s-on and on the TalkMobile network. The software version was 1.47 before the update if I remember right.

If the rumours are true that this is being rolled out based on IMEI numbers it might help if people waiting for or who have received posted something to that effect.

Her IMEI starts 356708*********

I'm rooted so have turned off the update checker.

i dont know if my information is helpfull, I am on O2. uk my phone was on 1.28 and a mount ago I first updated to Htc europ 1.47. and wait a 2 week for OTA update. After 2 week nothing, I updated with RUU 2.10.401.8, everything was fine. Yesterday i got a official OTA update from O2. I updated and a official update is the same for me now. 2.10.401.8.
[HTC Desire S] chill today:
My daughters phone is unbranded and sim free.

It was also on 1.28 and NOT getting the update. HTC said it will come soon.

Anyway bit the bullet and updated with the RUU .exe rom on XDA and all went piece of cake.

Once done it had another small update OTA.

So i do believe that if on 1.28 unbranded and sim free you will NOT get the 2.3.5 OTA update.

chill.............

I have been waiting for ages.. I had the Tmobile G2 a few years a go and Tmobile took forever to give us the update, so when my upgrade was due, i thought i'd go for an un branded device..

But to find out that some branded phones have been getting the update than unbranded phones just took the P... So i rooted my phone and flashed the rom and i finally have what i wanted.. PS do it, it work a dream and the phone is much faster :)
[HTC Desire S] Snappycakes:
Emailed 3 about it. They said they were "working with HTC" to get the update. No news of a date or anything.

My phone is branded, so there's no flashing an updated official ROM for me.
[HTC Desire S] pabtron:
Nothing from Orange UK yet. Hopefully soon though. Spoke to HTC support:

Rob: Hi paul, thank you for contacting HTC Support, I am looking in to your query now.

Rob: In regards to the update, it is currently being rolled out to unbranded devices, before it reaches network branded devices, it will need there approval. Please back up before doing any update, it delete both SD card and phone data.

To check the server for updates:

- settings

- about

- software update

If no luck?

- Like your making a call *#*#2432546#*#*

- Once completed

- settings

- about

- software update

paul B: Hi Rob, tried calling that number it takes me through to the orange customer services? I've tried the software updates but no joy yet. I guess wait for the software? Do you have any idea when Orange might be rolling it out? I ask because they will hopefully have signal boost on it, unlike all the unbranded/custom software.

Rob: I have no ETAs on when it would come out through the network, they would need to edit the update for there branding purposes

Rob: If you keep doing those steps ever few days hopefully your then get the update

Hi guys,

Total noob here. My Desire S is from the UK unbranded and S-ON.

Sense: 2.1

Software number: 1.28.401.1

How do I go about updating to 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0? It obviously doesn't update when checking through the phone.

Any help is appreciated, thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] m91wilson:
Hello, if you want to use official software, you will need to run an RUU update file. These are executable files which you run from a computer with your phone plugged in, they wipe your phone and install the software. The thread containing them is here

While your phone may be "unbranded", it may still be locked to certain software updates. Therefore the update to the latest European RUU may fail, if this is the case you will have to create a goldcard to bypass this check.

I actually did a similar process, updating to the latest sense 3.0 unbranded software from the T-Mobile UK out of date software.

This thread details my questions and the final post details how I went about it.

You should be sure to search and read about the forums to ensure you know exactly what it is your doing before updating though.

Thanks

Mike
[HTC Desire S] AusJames:
What exact RUU file do I download? I'm assuming one of the Europe ones?
[HTC Desire S] koubulls:
just root ure phones and see the beauty fo custom roms :D
[HTC Desire S] m91wilson:
The info on which RUU I used can be found on the thread which detailed how I updated it. At the time it was the latest (going off version number) unbranded European one, which being in the UK and not having the specific T-Mobile one, I thought was the best bet. Its still working fine.

@koubulls I appreciate you and many others prefer them, however for myself and probably a lot of other users, who aren't as bothered about/ can't be bothered with custom ROM's, RUU's offer an easy way to install the latest, stable software.
