When someone finishes downloading and updating, can you post what version it is?

Cant wait 'till rooted rom will be available here on XDA for download.

Installed and first thing I noticed is that the device feels much faster. I'm using Holo Launcher and my widgets scroll smoother, homescreen transitions are smoother and homescreen preview is much smoother than before, it used to be very laggy.

Going to test the battery usage now, fully charged from 11am.

    IF u S-ON u could flash the latest GB RUU to revert back to stock then use the OTA but
    I would recommend to flash my Rom whilst with new hbooot u probably won't be able to flash any custom roms is ur choice.

    u all missing the first step u MUST HAVE LATEST GB ROM INSTALLED
    THE OTA is PATCH for GB ROM it will check all neded files then patch them
    afther patching it will copy new files thats it

    the name S_OFF_4EXT_RECOVERY_OTA_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1-1.20.401.8_release_2627623qpt0ma8rnwgn0qq.zip

    from 1.20.401.8 patch to 3.28.401.1

    its still not confirmed..

    also possible that downgrade will be possible

    I confirm you that downgrading won't work.
    You know why? because they now also check the hboot version if the current one is lower than the one you flash. Downgrading misc partition will work but hboot won't. No chance for you. it's the same problem that the cmda peops had.

    Also to everyone who has root and s-off. Don't flash the official Update!
