Here is tun.ko compiled specifically for vermagic=2.6.36.3-g111d827 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 (that is, for kernel 2.6.36.3-g111d827, motorola xoom).

I've also included a version of the vpn connections APK. Even with the updated version of tun.ko (freshly compiled from git source), I couldn't get vpn connections to connect to the VPN to save my life with HTK75D. So I learned about VPNC-debug.apk and it works like a charm.

Good luck.

[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
Hello all,

I have spoken to HTC UK about when I might get the OTA update. Based on my phone's IMEI, they said it would get HTC Sense 3.5 and Android 2.3.5, but could not say when. It sounded like, with this being a best selling phone and many phones to update, it could be a long wait.

So my questions are:

A) Has someone "captured" the official HTC file(s) that go OTA and posted them so I can download and install myself?

B) If this is not possible, what is the most stable ROM to choose to get this update? Not looking for bleeding edge improvements - more interested in getting the update on a rock solid foundation (or as solid as OSs ever are!). I can head over to the other section on this forum, once people have made suggestions, preferably based on continued use and actual experience of the ROM they propose. (not just, installed it for a couple of days and then moved on).

Best wishes to all.

Andrew
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
First - there is no official Sense 3.5 released for Desire S. The latest update is to Sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.5.

Second - there is a thread called "Desire S shipped ROM" in the Android Development subforum (you can find a link in the Index thread there). There you can find the latest OTA packed as RUU. However, it is not recommended to use it if your device is branded. Better wait for an official update (it was promised to be out until the mid of December, but even later it should not take too long)

Third - there are plenty of Sense 3.0 and even ported Sense 3.5 ROMs in the above mentioned Index thread, just pick some and go through the comments then decide for yourself. The devs here are doing well, so most of the ROMs are suitable for daily use.

Good luck
[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
Maybe he made a mistake on the phone, but he definitely said 3.5 to me. I was surprised and doubled checked.

The phone is unbranded. However, I am a Mac user and can't install exe. files.

OK. I was hoping to find someone who is using one and has been fine with it to make a specific suggestion. I'll look through the comments.

THANKS FOR YOU HELP. :)
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
If you are using the European unbranded version there has to be an OTA update for you to the latest version.

I had the same problem - was not receiving an update notification, then the online HTC support guy told me to make my system date to 29 September 2011. Then I got the notification immediately and the phone was updated to 2.10.401.8.

Try this it may work for you too

If no joy you can find the 1.47.401.4 -> 2.10.401.8 update here

Rename to update.zip, copy to SDcard and install from Recovery. (Check in your Settings -> About phone -> Software info that your current version is 1.47.401.4 before doing this)

Remember: if you have any modification, e.g. S-OFF, custom Recovery, etc first restore to complete Stock and S-ON then do the update!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I highly highly reccomend Endymion 2.2 ROM.

Rock solid stable, great battery sense 3.5 ROM
[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
My phone is 1.28.401.1. How do I get it to 1.47.401.4 so I can then get to 1.47.401.8?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I suppose that you have tried the system date change without success. Type in dialer *#*#2432546#*#* and check again. Then change the date to June/July/August and try again. Use WiFi

If no update notification still I have extracted the rom.zip from 1.47.401.4 RUU for you. Download it from here

Rename to PG88IMG.zip, copy to SDcard, reboot the phone to bootloader (power off the phone then press VOL DOWN, do not let go press , hold and release POWER button) and enter the hboot. Keep in mind that this procedure can delete your data, so backup your contacts, calendar and messages. Also make a list of your apps to reinstall later. Delete the PG88IMG.zip from your card when update is complete.

When you apply this update check again from the phone settings for an update. If still no notification follow the procedure from my previous post. To enter recovery use the same button combination as for bootloader, then select Recovery from the bootloader menu. If you have a picture on a black background press VOL UP + POWER and choose "Apply update from sdcard". This should get your phone to 2.10.401.8.
[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
Tried this so am now moving onto stage 2. Thanks very much for the link to the "interim upgrade" file. 249mb downloading now (15 minutes on my cable line).

EDIT:

Excellent. I followed your instructions. The phone cycled though to HBOOT screens, I guess 2 stages to the update process and now reboots to 1.47.401.4.

I am now downloading the next update (6 minutes left!). Exciting. I wish HTC would allow for a update server to save you good people from newbies like me asking dumb questions.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Just in case check again for an update from your phone Settings (changing the data also and the code in dialer). This is the longer route but is the better way because should update your system straight to the latest version.
[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
I have placed the renamed file (update.zip) on the SD card (root folder) and powered on with volume down pressed. I moved to "recovery" on the menu list and pressed power to select. I get a black screen with a picture of a phone and a red triangle and exclamation mark. It is stuck here. I can't power off either. Do I pull the battery?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
No battery pull! Press Volume Up + Power

and better continue with the written in post #9
[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
Phew thanks! Now I have this. Sorry for being so dumb. I am really grateful for your help and so quick too!

Android System recovery <3e>

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
See post #9

The "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" error is normal for the Stock recovery I have it too on my device, so do not bother about it.
[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
It went straight to notify my of the update and is downloading now AWESOME! :D
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
This is great and the best way to go! Much better than the manual flashing.

And since it it the latest version you should receive a notification for the next updates coming (I hope that we will see Android 4 ICS on our devices the next year)

Congratulations and enjoy your latest Sense :)
[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
I think we will be very lucky to get an ICS update officially OTA from HTC next year or ever . . . . but I will trust your prediction!
[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
All done. Worth the effort to get all these little improvements.

Now to see if I can get gmail sorted.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Nice to know. Latest is always better :)
[HTC Desire S] Rueben_:
+1 for Endymion one of the most sexiest sense ROMS out their in my opinion, its also very stable and fast.
[HTC Desire S] lennyboi77:
I'm also stuck on 1.28.401.1 software and completely in dark, any tips how to copy the PG88IMG.zip onto sd card please? (go easy on me!)
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Unbranded? Unrooted?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
This was necessary because the OP is a MAC user. If you have Windows you do not have to copy anything. Download the latest (2.10.401.8) European RUU from here and start it on your PC. This will update your device and will delete all your data so make backups :)
[HTC Desire S] lennyboi77:
Hi thanks for the reply, I have downloaded the RUU but seem unable to run it a box pops up saying the file is invalid. I have opened HTC Sync whilst trying to run it.

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

Hi yes my phone is unbranded and unrooted
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Your download is corrupted. Happens sometimes. Re-download and try again.
[HTC Desire S] lennyboi77:

[General Questions and Answers] Hunter_x2:
When I read about the upcoming quad-core tablets a few months ago, I was thrilled - especially when the Transformer Prime hit the news. But then, after reading a lot more news, I began to hesitate. Here's some of my thoughts (in terms of hardware):

1) CPU: I recognized that the biggest differences between Tegra 3 and Tegra 2 is just the quantity. So I think that when other manufacturers (Samsung, Qualcomm, TI, etc.) release their quad-core chips, the Tegra 3 will mostly stay behind in the performance battlefield.

2) RAM: 1GB is now standard and enough to use, but when MS release Windows 8, and I think many people would like to install it on their tablets, it is unsure whether 1GB of RAM is enough or not. Better be prepared with 2GB. Also, when I decided to buy a tablet, I intended to use it for at least 3 or 4 years. Who knows if the future Android OS recommend 2GB of RAM to run smooth?

3) GPU: Same as CPU, I'm looking forward to see how powerful the new ones are (especially the ones from Imagination Technologies).

4) Display: Since the iPhone 4, the high-res trend has risen in the phone arena, and in 2012 it'll happen with tablets. We all like to see a smooth, detailed graphics from our tablets, aren't we?

Feel free to criticize me, I will be very appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] Dsparil:
The Galaxy S 2 for sure slaughtered the Tegra 2 in benchmark numbers, but in actuality, Tegra 2 has the best dev kit Android has to offer and offers a better gaming experience.

The results are that THD (Tegra HD) enhanced games are vastly superior to the Galaxy S 2 running the standard Android version, so in my eyes, Tegra 2 won in the department of real world performance. I expect gpu acceleration from ICS to be that much better on Tegra 2 devices.

The Tegra 3 is the latest and most powerful hardware available now, and unless you're European, you'll be waiting a full year to get Samsung's next offering in which Tegra 4 will be right around the corner by the time it actualizes in our market.
[General Questions and Answers] retn0:
WAiting for quadqore..

Sent from my GT-S5570
[General Questions and Answers] Hunter_x2:
Indeed Tegra 2 is quite good in games, however I still think that the PowerVR SGX GPU series are the most powerful. But why didn't the manufacturers use them in their SoC (except TI with the old SGX540)?

Although Samsung produced good quality SoC, if other competitors can release new chips sooner with the same performances then we will have other choices. So let's wait for the full wave of quad-core chips and then we can decide.
[General Questions and Answers] Elwood_It:
I think the big difference will be the manufacturing process of the new snapdragon processor, it could really increase the battery life. But, as the engadget review of the transformer prime says, it has 10 h of battery life, not bad for a 5 core.
[General Questions and Answers] Hunter_x2:
It's obvious that in the Engadget battery test, there are times when their usage wasn't too heavy, and that was when the fith low-power core performed.

Same problem as my own compiles. Display is all yellow. :(

What compiler do you use? I'm thinking this may be a compiler problem since g1011999 said the source worked with minimal modifications. :confused:

*The changed boot logo was fine by the way. :p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
darn...

i have used the 4.4.1 arm-2010q1 toolchain... as the stock kernel seems to be compiled using the same...

btw if adb works can u please check if the acpu freq table is updated with OCed CPU freq? (the sysfs interface)[available frequencies]

btw i noticed that crc7.ko and pcbc.ko are also compiled during build process... do we need to insmod these?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] intersectRaven:
Uhm...I'll pass on the checking part. I'm reaaaaaally uncomfortable with any overclock so I just looked at whether the display on your kernel was fine or not and rebooted immediately. :o
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hmmm ok.. no problem...

if this works out correctly i will add a sysfs (or proc) interface to control acpu freq table :)

can u please retry again and check if the freq table was updated?

also i am thinking of trying out the sources g1011999 uploaded to git...

have u tried compiling with those? is the display problem there too?

i have on this test pc:

arm-4.4.3 gcc (from android ndk 5c)

arm-4.6.2 gcc (CodeSoc. 2011-03-41)

u want me to do any tests??

to test safely the kernel i should use:

adb reboot botloader

fastboot boot (KINDLE-FIRE-DooMKernel-v01-test2-boot.img)

what are the risks of doing it? In case of error a reboot should fix it, wright?

how much time should I wait between this commands?

I need to use the parenthesis?

I never tested a kernel, but I am willing to help as I can.

I want to give it a try when you update one with the new config.

i have created a new test kernel (v01-test3) using this defconfig..

please check if its working!

actually even i am not exactly sure abt flashing commands...

fastboot boot boot.img

is a generic command for fastboot but sometimes we need to specify some more details...

tested it with fastboot boot, hangs at boot animation.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hi the kernel is only for stock rom...

u sure u tested with stock rom?

cause freeze/hang at bootanimation happens mostly because of incorrect ramdisk (android OS version)
