[Q] Effect of new stock ROM? - Wildfire General

I have rooted my locked and branded Wildfire and am about to install the following stock ROM from shipped-ROMS:
RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe
Before I proceed I wanted to be clear on the outcome of this install.
If I install this ROM will I lose root and, if so, should I be able to re-root it with Unrevoked?
When froyo comes out will I get the over the air update from HTC or will I still have to wait for the update from my provider? (or will I have to install upgrades by some other means from now on?)
Prior to installing the ROM I will note down the settings in Wireless & networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names. Is this all I need to get the phone and internet connectivity operational again after the upgrade?
What does the "signed" on the end of the name of the ROM mean?

Bump.......

As long as you stick to that ROM which seems to be the "original", you will get updates from HTC.

hey lemming, i sent you a pm yesterday lol

Thanks guys for your input.
To install an .exe RUU (as opposed to a zipped one) do I need to have the HTC app installed on Windows (or install special USB drivers) or do I simply plug in the phone and run the .exe ?.

there is a very simple way to do it: root your phone, change in system/build.prop these 2 lines:
ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX
ro.product.name=X10_XXXX-XXXX
change the X with 1234-8465
restart phone and run SEUS

i am the laziest guy on this forum...hence this method is the quickest..
rooting X10i is extremely easy...check the sticky.
what u need:
1. Rooted X10i
2. Root explorer app (version 2.10.1 recommended)
3. Refer to this thread.

I have followed imugur's instructions as given in the first post but rather than changing my UK Generic version for the Nordic one (1234-8465) I went for the Global Generic (1232-9897)
I first tried the phone's own check for updates after rebooting but it found nothing, however, I then tried PC Companion and was immediately given the new software update (with a specific mention of multitouch support being added)
Going through the process now, PC Companion estimates a total time of 30 mins
Cheers,
Mik
Keeps saying that I have the latest firmware i have .24 no multitouch, already on nordic firmware, no update through seus, pc companion or phone.... trying a repair
currently on 2.0.2.A.0.24

If you got a X10a and flashed X10i firmware on it or vice versa, SEUS and PCC will not recognize your device.

Hi MikLSP, any update....did this work?
EDIT: also any Rogers, Canada users done this update or could someone recommend a 2.2 ROM with multi-touch already in?

hmmm thats interesting, have to look to switch it back to x10a
Thanks for the insight
And what's the point of that?
The biggest advantage of flashing is to give us a faster phone and most important dualtouch.
By doing that way you can't get either.
And more. I'm not sure about this but on every custom roms you must have 435 flashed so that dualtouch work. Not sure trough.

If you're rooted you can just change the CDA numbers back to a X10a device, then it will be recognized again.

New update for DHD does not work for me....

I am located in China. I got a system update notification few days ago.
I did the upgrade without backup. After upgrade
Android version: 2.2.1
software release: 1.84.707.xxx
Unfortunately, the peer could not hear the voice in the phone call.
I did the factory reset, the problem is still the same.
Does someone know where I can find the official ROM?
By the way, my device is rooted.

Still don't have 4.1.83?!?!

I never got the 4.1.83 update? Was it pulled? I'm stuck on 4.1.57 and whenever I check for an update I get the "your phone is up to date" message. Anyone else with this issue? I'm running 100% stock and bought it on launch day...

Gingerblur v.35 is built around the 1.83 as far as the framework and such. It does not however actually update your phone to 1.83. The main update for 1.83 was the radio and allowing HSUPA, which gingerblur does not affect in any way, shape or form. Gingerblur is more or less just a theme... ok, ok, it's a pseudo rom = theme w/ mods & hacks included (not a custom ROM).
i live outside usa and when i connected to wifi i got the update

[OTA Captured] German Retail 4.4.4

OTA for German Retail version from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 started to roll out finally.
Download:
http://d-h.st/gUF
The name of the file is Blur_Version.176.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE.zip - as always - it is named after the firmware being updated not after the target one.
Were you on stock recovery but rooted when you got this OTA?
I got this Update today too.

You can always GET an OTA but you won´t be able to install it in some scenarios.
Your system partition has to be mostly untouched, but root and Xposed Framework won´t cause any problem. You can use stock or Philz Recovery.
Also got the update but the installation is failing due to unexpected changes to build.prop. I have removed xposed and anything else I can think of that may have changed the system partition but still no go.
Any ideas? Maybe someone could post their build.prop?
I'm also getting the update in The Netherlands. Bought my phone online amazon.de :laugh:

Well, I can, but can you tell me why are you asking?
I'm rooted and installed the stock recovery then tried doing the Ota (I'm on stock rom if it matters) and it gives an error, just "error" no more information during the installation process.
Anybody can help?

Yes, you have the right version of firmware for this OTA, don´t know why it´s failing for you, there´s too much variables, it´s hard to tell.
As to where the file I posted comes from - it´s right from my phone. Until today morning I was on French 4.4.4, then I flashed the German 4.4.2 firmware to look if I could catch the OTA and it really came, I pulled it from my /cache and posted here. Check out the MD5 sum: d289331e52d0f79d2bcc4b9b390ff338

Apparently the update rolls out depending on that 4 numbers, i think it started from something like 3550 and mine is 3593 so i wanted to see if it is close to my number if you get what i mean.

Why so sceptical? Apart from a different dialer GUI, there´s not much difference you can really feel on 4.4.4, basically there are just some bug fixes.

Perhaps you need to uninstall and remove the modules and the xposed from the system before updating. Xposed and the modules add / modify system files and other sources in the device. Make sure you unroot as the last step as well. Stock recovery is required to install the OTA successfully

LYZ28E (T-Mobile image) radio is MDM9625_104649.09.05.14R
LMY47D (Verizon OTA) radio is MDM9625_104446.01.02.98R
And the previous builds have even lower build numbers. Pretty sure the T-Mobile image/OTA radio is newer. Not that that makes it necessarily better, to be sure.
So this isn't specific to Tmobile? - Been waiting for this for AGES!!

I can only judge by the filename
LYZ28E: radio-shamu-d4.01-9625-05.14+fsg-9625-02.93
LMY47I: radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.95
LMY47E: radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.98 (This was the Verizon Build)
LMY47D: radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.95
While the LMY47x Builds have a radio image of 83.4MB, the LYZ28E Radio is "only" 65.9MB
Not sure whether something missing or new compression algorithm
I'm just wondering where the open international images are at. Isn't very nexus for a us carrier to get them first.

I was wondering the same thing since all Nexus are the same. I am guessing that WiFi calling only works for T-Mobile so any other prepaid carrier that tries to use WiFi calling won't work, and since Google doesn't want any confusion they release it for only Tmo
Since I've been using it I haven't even seen a WiFi calling option
