Recommend that you change your CID to SuperCID 11111111 and then flash Firmware, through Fastboot.

Isn't this the Lollipop kernel source code?
[Desire 820 Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:
Where did you get it from?
[Desire 820 Android Development] PrateekBHT:
The Lollipop Kernel Source Code for 820s is available on htcdev.com, but it is for the Taiwanese Variant as denoted by the region and Build Number.

Select " Desire 820 dual sim " under

" Devices " and the ones with Region "TW" and Version "5.0.2" are for 820s.
[Desire 820 Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:
no they are for desire 820 Dual slim not 820s
[Desire 820 Android Development] Gibz97:
That's where I got it from. Maybe building a kernel from it could make lollipop bootable
[Desire 820 Android Development] PrateekBHT:
When on htcdev.com you select 'Desire 820 dual sim', it displays all the Kernel Sources for 820 dual sim variants. The Kernel Source Code for 820s are the ones having 'TW' and '5.0.2' displayed. There are 4 such there (with MR1, MR2 and CRC written). Once you click on 'Download' you will see its name as 'a50mldtul......', the codename 'a50mldtul' belongs to Desire 820s dual sim.
[Desire 820 Android Development] smartpal:
Yes, you are correct dude [MENTION=7046362]PrateekBHT[/MENTION]. This kernel SC is for 820s Taiwan. No doubt that is why taiwan got lollipop update for 820s.
[Desire 820 Android Development] PrateekBHT:
No update. Its out of the box. The build number 1.xx.709.x represents the preinstalled OS (First digit is 1)
[Desire 820 Android Development] smartpal:
Hmm. Got it. Then there must be kernel for india as well because some of the lucky ones in india got lollipop out of the box for 820s.

Your device has got SuperCID. You can flash firmware of any region on your device. Moreover you cannot get any FOTA Update.
[Desire 820 Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:
what does SuperCid Part mean

totaly new to htc
[Desire 820 Android Development] scotyard:
How did you backup your entire ROM for reflashing? Another thing - is kitkat officially available for reflashing(India)? I've got a problem with notifications and I'd like to reflash it
[Desire 820 Android Development] PrateekBHT:
The image in the post of Gibz97: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=64230391

The Screen is showing a long string as 11111111, that's SuperCID. Its like the other CID like HTC_038, HTC_621, etc. only difference is that its not locked to specific region. SuperCID covers all regions, ie, flashing any firmware doesn't affect device functionality.
[Desire 820 Android Development] Gibz97:
I flash the South East Asian Kitkat Firmware with SP Flash Tool and restore backed up data with custom recovery
[Desire 820 Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:
What does CID mean
[Desire 820 Android Development] PrateekBHT:
A CID (carrier ID) is a bit simplified a bit of information that tells you for what country/region/carrier/network your phone is made/intended for. And where it gets updates from.

Sometimes a certain CID tells you what model ID the phone got as well, since the CID is for an American carrier: which tends to a model ID of their own (AT&T, Sprint, etc). And: those American carrier phones are “special” when it comes to OTA (Over The Air) updates, since they are limited to (often) their own network and/or country. Which means that if you imported an AT&T phone to India, you might never get any updates OTA but have to download it from HTC USA (only for certain carrier phones, Verizon phones are a NO go).

So, how do I get my CID?

That part is actually pretty simple, just install Simple CID Getter and it will tell you. Easy, huh?

A few common American Carrier CID’s

AT&T CWS__001

Sprint: SPCS_001

T-Mobile US: t-mob010

Verizon: VZW__001

Those phones from those carries above should be avoided if you’re in Europe/Africa/Asia/etc. You will NOT get updates OTA and hardware will differ from a European/Asia/etc phone.

For a regular unbranded/unlocked HTC phone (the CID tends to start with HTC__), updates tends to go out by region. Exception is American Developer/Unlocked versions that uses a BS_US001 CID.

For European network branded phones (O2, EE, etc), updates will always/often be a little later than the regular unlocked version since that network needs to add their bits to the update first.

And, in some countries (Africa, Asia, etc) it’s in some parts common with phones imported from various places on the globe. So, you can sit next to a friend that just got the new Lollipop 5.0.1 update on his One M8 (since it’s a CID intended for South East Asia) while your phone doesn’t find any updates since you’ve got the UK variant (HTC__001) where the update haven’t gotten live yet.
[Desire 820 Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:
Only one way we can see lolipop

A NAND back up from a lucky one who got it runing lp out of the box

Htc announced today that mediatek devices wont see Lolipop or Marshmallow
[Desire 820 Android Development] PrateekBHT:
Gibz97 had Lollipop out of the box, but unfortunately now he doesn't.

From what source have you come to know that no lollipop for Mediatek?
[Desire 820 Android Development] Gibz97:
I had it for like a month. I didn't know how to back it up since it was unrooted. I searched and searched for ways to root it but was unsuccessful. Out of frustration, I flashed kitkat. I thought I'll get an OTA to lollipop anyway again, by then we'd have had a way to root it.

Little did I know it was too easy to back up even without root but it was too late :p and my warranty is void

But I believe we'll still get it
[Desire 820 Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:

Now you stuck at moded AOSP kitkat by htc
[Desire 820 Android Development] PrateekBHT:
HTC Source on Twitter replied this...
[Desire 820 Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:
Its already abandoned.

They don't know what they say
[Desire 820 Android Development] PrateekBHT:
Its not abandoned. Read the post of LlabTooFer carefully by his Twitter link. It says Low End MTK ODM Devices will not get Android L or M. 820s is Mid-End device. Moreover HTC has not confirmed anything over this. Keep your fingers crossed.
[Desire 820 Android Development] Gibz97:
I believe you can modify the kernel to enable booting into the system, you are quite familiar with that area, I don't know anything about kernels
[Desire 820 Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:
i can work roms from source , make edits to stock roms with AOSP source . not editing kernel

i can integrete features into a rom.... make a rom from AOSP source

i belive what we own on our Desire 820s is AOSP 98% ,the rest 2% goes to htc dot view ..other htc releated isn't needed

But come on ,, its kitkat ... Very Disappointing .. i have nexus 5 can make legends real "" .its older and lower spec""

when comparing a Mediatek to Qualcomm device !! the mediatek have 0% Support , fully unfamiliar

I can ask a friend to make us a new kernel from our kernel source code .. it will work and it will boot

what iam thinking of now ?? The decrypted zip we had is currpted i tried to port some htc apps to my nexus 5 " done it before and it worked perfectly " ,, when i used apks from the system we have They seemed to be Unusable .. Damaged

i will get some help about kernel thing and lets see

post the ZIP that was flashed please , or updater-script

& uboot >> u gave us a pic from
[Desire 820 Android Development] Gibz97:
Well. Here is the updater-script and lk-verified.bin(uboot). The uboot is too large to fit into the kitkat lk partition though. Even the system, I had to edit scatter file to increase partition size.

This 820ys firmware is entirely different from the kitkat one. It has 47 partitions while Kitkat has only 25 smaller ones. I might consider selling this phone unless one lucky guy offers us a full firmware readback with SP Flash Tool, That way it is guaranteed to work
[Desire 820 Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:
Me also thinking to sell it

Its very strange

As you said a Sp Flash tool zip

Or Twrp/Cwm full backup

Or htc helps

Other thank this i will sell it , get a new sim"this device ked mine" and back to use the old nexus 5
[Desire 820 Android Development] smartpal:
820s isn't low end MTK device. So it should get update.
[Desire 820 Android Development] PrateekBHT:
How did you do that?

Description and File links please.....
[Desire 820 Android Development] PrateekBHT:
The decrypted file that was uploaded on MEGA by user in post 'Decrypt RUU' has invalid scatter file. When I try to load it in SP Flash Tool, it shows an error related to Scatter File.
[Desire 820 Android Development] Gibz97:
What error does it show?
[Desire 820 Android Development] PrateekBHT:
I will post screenshot tomorrow, but its related to Scatter File only, since while loading it I get error.
[Desire 820 Android Development] Gibz97:
REMEMBER not to flash preloader unless you want to upgrade firmware, also it is important not to flash pgpt or sgpt as flashing the wrong files can lead to a gruesome hard brick.

You Rock Man
[Desire 820 Android Development] PrateekBHT:
Great work

So when are you uploading the complete guide and files to Lollipop?
[Desire 820 Android Development] smartpal:
Waiting......
[Desire 820 Android Development] Gibz97:
I have to confirm first i am not sharing any personal information. Then because my phone is originally d820ys so the protect1, protect2, kb and dkb partitions could be different between the Lollipop and KitKat devices.

I don't know if it is going to work with these partitions in KitKat and I am also afraid of writing/replacing these partitions since they could be very device specific, risking a brick.

I'm saying so because these partitions (protect1, protect2, kb and dkb) are labled as PROTECTED meaning they should not be flashed during any flashing procedure just as imeis and serial numbers should not be flashed.

If someone has any information or link explaining what these partitions might contain then I will be very glad because I have been searching without success or if someone is willing to flash it despite the risks associated with it then they can PM me and I will give them a private link as long as they know what they are doing because even if it is bricked it can still be revived by the preloader (I've bricked mine almost 1000 times). I will NOT be responsible for any brick caused
[Desire 820 Android Development] Gibz97:
Good news!

After analysing the dumped partitions with HexEditor I could determine that about 70% of the partitions are actually empty, including kb and dkb so there is no need to flash them but here comes the pain of protect1 and protect2 partitions. There is a whole lot of data within these two partitions which I still have no clue of what it is.

Only if someone could dump them with SP Flash Tool Readback as I had explained in post #123 so that I can compare them with what I have and if they are identical then what needs to be added to the perfectly decrypted Taiwanese RUU will only be pg1fs and pg2fs partitions.
[Desire 820 Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:

[Desire 820 Android Development] Alen_Sft:
Flashed cwm recovery using flashify, but now I can't boot into recovery
[Desire 820 Android Development] Gibz97:
It will never work like that. The kitkat and Lollipop partition tables are entirely different. Download only cannot work, you have to perform firmware upgrade meaning you must download everything. That is why I was asking for someone to dump protect1 and protect2 partitions so that I can compare them with the ones in D820ys. Because it will be risky to just flash it

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boltthrower56:
There is this app called Super Touch that phone arena covered. Supposed to smoothen the touch experience on android by a significant margin. The developer offers no explanation as to how the app works. I've yet to test it because it is building something right now and it takes a long while to finish. From what i can make out , i think it builds some sort of scrolling cache and offloads them to GPU ? I don't know the internal android structure that well and analyzing the source if there is one , is beyond me. If there is a developer that can explain the intricate workings of this app to people , so people could stop comparing this to "snake oil" if it's legit , if it's not we can ask google to remove it from google play , that'd be great. Thanks.
