OTA Update issues

[keetoa7x]

Me and my brother both have the sensation. Both on vodafone uk. He got his update today and i havent... None available for me apparently! Just wondering anyone else on vodafone UK not got this yet? We both had same version when we checked yesterday and now hes got the latest one. Not happy

Any ideas?!

Carriers do not roll out updates to all of their devices all at once. They trickle them out so you will probably get it at a later time.

That's your problem right there - the OTA is to go from 1.27.161.1 to 1.35.161.2. As you're not on 1.27.161.1 you're not getting prompted. You're gonna have to bite the bullet and flash the 1.27.161.1 RUU before you can get the new OTA update - which also means losing all data in the process

You can get the RUU from here:

Another way to trybis to restart your phone and check for updates again.

This works for me though.

It won't work, for the reason I stated above

Basically an OTA update needs a pre-requisite version to update from. In this case the OTA (Over The Air) update is to upgrade the Vodafone 1.27.161.1 ROM to the new 1.35.161.2 ROM. Your device is on the Vodafone 1.24.161.1 ROM, which was the first, and as such you need to update your device to 1.27.161.2 before you will be prompted to get the new one.

There isn't an OTA file to go from 1.24.161.1 to 1.27.161.1 so the only way is to download the entire ROM file, or RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) that I posted. The downside to using this method is that the phone is completely reset so any data you've got on the phone (contacts, game save data, etc) will be lost. To use the RUU, which is a Windows program, make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your PC and connect your phone to the computer. Select 'HTC Sync' from the menu that comes up on your phone and then run the RUU file and follow the prompts

It's the only way of getting the update, though, so you will have to do it. The good thing is that once you set the phone back up it will redownload the apps you have on your phone but it will need to be set up again from scratch

Thanks for this mate. Ill have to do this on sunday when i have more time. So basiaclly if i dident do this i would never recieve any future updates? This seems abit **** tbh, might ring voda first and see if they will do anything about it. Doubtful though.

Thanks again

They won't do anything, I'm guessing u got one of the first handsets when released. Tbh other than losing some data it'll mean u get up to date which is better in the long run imo
