you can not install my method with out unlock and S-off. are you never reserved Official ICS OTA update?

any way if you like unlock and S-OFF ur device ? then you can install ICS 1st you want to unlock your boot loader from htcdev and then downgrade your Hboot to 1.49.0007. after install above GB ROM and then update to ICS:D



No I have not had option to update yet, I was hoping it may come in next few days but nothing.

Do you have a link to do this unlock and s-off please, is it difficult?

Regards

After updating I lost s-off and now have the 1.53hboot. No biggie though, as the official ICS works quite well.

Funny thing though...I see superuser app in OTA ICS. Doesnt work of course, since we cant root it yet...or can we?

Is S-OFF selected via default? I have not touch any settings but cant seem to get this update OTA so may well follow these set of instructions.

After reading up I expect that I have S-On since my phone is untouched, what is the process for me, I have tried >settings, >about phone, >software updates

Can someone clear up what is needed please, I was under the impression this update would be available without having to modify the NAND or root.

***LOCKED***
Shooter_U S-On
HBOOT 1.49.0011
Aug 1 2011

Thats what I get when I enter hboot


Thanks
since you havent touch your phone up to now...think would be better for you to wait for the official notification from HTC... its al over europe already... i am sure its already around the corner and you would receive the OTA notification before you know it...

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

How can I get the latest GB ROM? I have unlocked via HTC dev, S-Off using Revolutionary and 4ext installed. ...
guides and all the needed files links is in Anryls post#180...

I have now unlocked through HTCDev, will that matter now?

I tried the next stage but get device not found when trying to start the hboot process.

I have relocked, reset and shall sit and wait for the OTA from HTC, I am impatient.

after unlock you need to s-off to flash the modded ICS patch... you can use this guide as I used it also when i dont know a thing about rooting and I did it...

FIX THE GUIDE IN OP



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


Great.. Finally I completed and now I am on ICS..

Like to share that when I was trying to upgrate to latest GB ROM in Step 1. I was getting error..

SD checking....
Loading ....[PG86DIAG.zip]
No image
Loading ....[PG86DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading ...[PG86IMG.tar]
No image!
Loading ...[PG86IMG.aes]
No image!
Loading...[PG86IMG.enc]
No image !

Then the Zip file got corrupted Tried number of ways.. Then I thought to give a try by changing the Name of the file to PG86DIAG.zip as the phone was searching for this name I thought to give it this name.. and wooo It updated the ROM.. then next steps went like a knife on the Butter...

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Thanks ALL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...

This what i was using but it it wont detect

Tried restarting computer, just wont detect device from cmd using the adb.

Tried with sim card in and out, with debugging enabled. Confused, some people say it needs to be rooted but I thought I just needed to unlock and roll back a hboot and then go from their, other threads state

"go like that:
adb shell
$su
except on screen request
dd if=/dev/block/mmvblk0p31 of=/mnt/sd/mmcblk31.img"

What is this all about? is it a program, a code? or what don't follow, people make reference to try different custom roms but I am default apart from htcdev unlock.

Ics sucks.big time.i really regret updating.
Cons
I cant use screen filter app to turn off the soft keys.the irritatin soft keys wont turn off any more.the resultant light leakage at the base just makes me angry.
3d video playback isnt as smooth as it used to be.it stutters very minutely.took the fun out of watchin 3d movies on the phone.
Previously i was able to play 1080p mkv via dice player without any hiccup.now there are hiccups.
The stock video player is crappy as usual.
No burst mode or takin stills while recording in camera.
Asphalt 6 doesnt work on 3d any more.
Srs doesnt work on music player.
So no real improvements for me here except for the changed settings menu and a bit smoother transaction animations.its like htc was purposefully makin it worse to make people change the phone.
I wish i didnt update.i wish i could downgrade :'(

Comically I also read on other threads and sites that video playback (3D and 1080p) and some games like GTA 3 are now choppy, as well some games won't play in (real) 3D anymore. Can anyone confirm this? (I am still on GB)

Hi everybody!
just want to flash custom rom mwakious3Drom and found what it based on official release 3.28.707 with baseband 11.77.3504.00P_11.25.3504.06_M, but we've got 3.28.401.1 with baseband 11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M

How is it possible? And what the different is?

I'm now on ICS through official update and have had no issues so far. Infact the phone is a lot snappier.

I can confirm troubles with video: rockplayer-lite with software decoding, the audio is to choppy
and games: Gun Bros, DH is really slower then it was on GB
The overall qualitty and perfomance is better/smoother + battery life is amazing increased

    ===FOR EVERYONE WHO GETS STATUS 7 or 6 like: === (Thanks crystalic)

    assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,
    "22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" ,
    "77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC__001" , "HTC__102" ,
    "HTC__E11" , "HTC__203" , "HTC__032" , "HTC__304" , "HTC__A07" ,
    "HTC__405" , "HTC__Y13" , "HTC__N34" ,
    "HTC__016") == "t");

    1. download 7zip (google it, free) and open up "S_OFF_4EXT_RECOVERY_OTA_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Eu rope_3.28.401.1-1.20.401.8_release_2627623qpt0ma8rnwgn0qq.zip" with 7zip, and go to

    META-INF/com/google/android/

    and extract "updater-script" to your desktop. Be sure it's not extracted as .TXT and DO NOT OPEN IT WITH NOTEPAD

    2. Download Notepad++ (google it, it's free) and open up the "updater-script" from the desktop.
    Comment out the lines, by putting # in front of them:

    #assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,
    # "22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" ,

    # "HTC__405" , "HTC__Y13" , "HTC__N34" ,
    # "HTC__016") == "t");

    3. then go to File=>Saves As=>Name: updater-scipt Type: All types (*.*)
    Now go back to your "META-INF/com/google/android/" in the 7zip and delete the existing "updater-script", and the put inside the new one from the desktop

    4. push the zip to your SD card now and install it from 4ext recovery (and don't forget to install firmware as described in the first post)

    ***NOTE: be sure to use 7zip and Notepad++ because they don't seem to corrupt the files by manipulating with them as classical Notepad does***

    from 1.20.401.8 patch to 3.28.401.1
    3
    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!

    ===FOR EVERYONE WHO GETS STATUS 7 or 6 like:
