can you post your bootloader details?

How?

I've no idea how to do that.

AFAIK the phone isn't rooted etc.

I'm hoping the update is available live somehow rather than me having to take my life and phone into my own hands and root it and burn roms etc etc that frankly I'm nervous about doing.

switch off the device
remove battery
reinsert it
press and hold together power button + volume down until it shows you the hboot screen
write down whatever you see

But its not the Andriod 4 that I'm supposed to be able to update to. I would have thought there would be on on HTC site etc, or it come live.

Anyways, I'll check with HTC Australia, Telstra and Vodafone and see if I can get an official Android 4 update somehow.

BTW: Is it safe to do it .. I saw a couple of comments around about it making phone run slow etc, tho I thought Android 4 was faster.

As someone with experience with custom rom's etc ...

If it ends up that I can't get an official update live to the phone and want to update by flashing a new rom etc....

What would you recommend I get ? From your signature you've got a bit of customising and had a couple of different roms etc.

What's the best to get ?? I'm not wanting to do development etc, I just have a fast capable phone, where everything still works (don't want a rom where some phone feature don't work, like camera of wifi etc) and with a fairly recent o/s (doesn't need to be very latest, just what is good and stable.

Any advice or links etc to what you'd recommend ??

Thanks

basically every rom is pretty much stable
every rom may act differently in each device
also there is no best rom but what is best for you

a suggestion is go for viperS 5.0.0 rom which jelly bean with sense
note this: before flashing the new rom back up your current one just in case

My advice to you mate would be to stick with stock if your not comfortable messing with your phone. You have the latest official update. There will be no more. If you want a new ROM the ONLY way to do it is to Root and flash like has been suggested before. If your are going to go down this road do not do it lightly. Read, read and read again. The steps are all very do-able with little risk to your phone, if you understand the procedures. I can say though it is the best thing to do.

Good luck :good:
