100% Stock version of the 3.33.401.53 & 3.33.401.153 ROMs and that means:
- No Root
- No Busybox
- Secured boot.img

For 3.33.401.53 the OTA was applied to Namit1994 stock 3.33.401.6, so his tools to root, unsecure boot, etc will work on this one.
For 3.33.401.153 zip was built from Football's RUU. Namit1994 tools should work also.

Any dev can feel free to use it as base and do whatever he wants with it, no credit is necessary.

if i flash it with my current fw(see my signature) will it booted after installation?
It has been tested with FW 3.33 and this is the Firmware recommended, however it should work with 3.32 FW. Nandroid your setup and give it a try. Let us know!!

Thanks for this. Time to rebase.

If you don't mind my asking, how did you apply the OTA files to the previous 3.33.401.6 base? I wanted to do it myself, but I'm not really sure how it's done.

Ideal way to flash is download pure stock odexed 3.33.401.6 then flash then flash the OTA file (you can find the fotadl.htc.com link posted by me somewhere in the dev section - page 2 I think) then just flash that through recovery.
If that doesnt work run the 3.33.401.6 RUU, extract rom.zip from it, open the rom.zip file up, delete everything in it except boot.img and system.img then rename the zip to PG58IMG.zip and flash through hboot, then flash the OTA.zip file through recovery

Thanks Jonny, the reply is much appreciated.

Though I was really wondering how OP applied the files within the OTA zip to the older base to make a flashable 3.33.401.53 ROM zip. Like did he open up a completely stock odexed 3.33.401.6 ROM zip and just place the OTA files in their appropriate folders? What to do with the stuff in the "patch" folder? I dabble in cooking ROMs for fun, so I was just looking to rebase a new ROM for my wife and myself. I'll end up using OP's zip as a base now, but I was just wondering how he made it. :)

/edit

I just looked in the updater script for that OTA zip and now I'm even more confused as to how to apply these patches/files manually to make a new flashable base. It's definitely not a simple copy/paste into zip. :silly:

Yeah what you have to do is flash the base (3.33.401.6) then OTA on top of it (3.33.401.53) then using a file explorer (root explorer or similar) copy the entire /system partition to microsd card then transfer that to pc, add own updater-script and just build into a zip file, thats called creating a "System Dump" :)

Ahhh so simple, I can't believe I didn't think of doing that even though I've been ripping up ROM zips for a few months now.

And now I know what the term "system dump" means. All of those old posts of people posting leaked ICS system dumps back in the day suddenly make sense.

Again, thanks for the education Jonny. I've been enlightened. :)

My phone restarts using the root from the link you gave.
Do you have a link to another root for this rom version?

.55 is here

OP updated with the latest OTA 3.33.401.55

Some binaries were updated, but I've noticed that this time the radio image is different, so it should be a new radio (haven't tested myself yet). So probably to get all the benefits of this latest update it would be good to update the radio also. For that ask on the firmware thread or the Radio/RIL's thread to update the radio with the one included in this OTA. Otherwise you can update the radio.img yourself by using a PG58IMG zip

Merry Christmas to all!!
