Virgin Mobile USA Desire 816 getting Lollipop tomorrow morning! - Desire 816 General

According to Mo Versi we'll get Lollipop in the A.M.
"HTC Desire 816 (Virgin Mobile) Owners! We have approval on Lollipop OS! OTA to start tomorrow morning. Thank you."
https://twitter.com/moversi/status/588408032842776576
Looks like I'll be going back to stock tonight to prepare for the morning OTA!

Amazing news!!!
Can't wait to have Lollipop with working data. Hopefully Sense toolbox gets updated to 5.0 (if it hasn't already) and I'll be stoked to use it as a daily driver.

Plan to release a rom.zip RUU so I can start a full 7 rom for desire 816?

Getting a stock ROM now!!

Woke up at 5:30 AM Central time to a nice little OTA waiting for me.
When they say the OTA will start in the morning they aren't kidding.
DLing now but sadly I gotta get to work so it'll be a bit before I can toy around with it.
If you haven't gotten the update pushed to you yet you might be able to manually check via settings.

Got mine at 2:30 am Pacific time!

What do you mean? Data works fine on my 5.0 ROM. It has been for months way before I even released it.

NOT IN INDIA. a5dwg
Lollipop update hasn't been rolled out here in India for a5dwg. I asked on twitter about it, but no one replied. Seriously, waiting for it.

Has anyone gotten the OTA update with a Rooted Stock ROM with non-stock recovery?

Yes unfortunately when I start IC it will support S-Off users simply because it's easier to mod/flash firmware/etcc... S-on users will be on their own.

I'm no developer....but if you limit your userbase to a group of people who spent $25 to S-OFF there phone (which was basically only needed for extreme things) then not many people will use it.
Especially because NO other ROM needs S-OFF...

No you definitely misunderstood me. What I mean is IC will work for both s-on and s-off but if users aren't on latest firmware there is a chance of having bugs. Like Wi-Fi not working... So I recommend users to be s-off so they can obtain superCID and flash lollipop firmware.. as I will be releasing quite a few other things that require s-off.
And I will not baby s-on users that have bugs ....

I'm currently S-On because there was no "must have" benefits to S-Off. Yes , there are some benefits but none that I absolutely couldn't do without.
That being said, If IC or another ROM use S-Off to gain some time of feature, function, or improvement I'll shell out the 25 bucks with the quickness.

please some one reply

Rooting magic?

Without opening the box how can i tell if this Rogers HTC Magic can be rooted or not?
The reason i ask is because some of the newest ones already have the new updated firmware applied to them (or so my friend has told me).
Does anyone think this is the case or not?
I think the new ones have a Magic+! Not sure though
What makes you think it's some of the newest ones? I'm pretty sure ALL of them have the updated firmware by now
im pretty sure you can't tell by the box (almost positive).... best thing to do is ask how long the store has had it in stock..
if they had it from early january or from 2009 then it will not have the newest update and can be rooted... if its after mid january then it a good bet it will have the non rootable update..
thanks i will ask and find out.

... as of now it cannot be rooted, that isnt to say that i never will be rooted. once the 2.1 update comes out there may be a way to root again, but only time will tell... my recommendation is to buy a used one that is already rooted, or one that someone never did the update on if you really want root now..
thanks. ignorant though.
what me being ignorant? was just trying to help..
not you but Rogers, it looks like the one i have is rootable so not so ignorant at all!
awesome bud, glad to hear! welcome to the party that is custom roms. : D

What makes you think there _will_ be an update to 2.1?
And if there is one, what makes you think it might be rootable?
rogers have said there will be a 2.1 update. and i dont know if it can be rooted, no one does..we have to wait and see
Did Rogers explicitly promise to update the magic? I couldn't find any source for that. As for HTC, they only mention they will have an update for the Hero - nothing about the Magic.
Sent from my HTC Magic using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
just google rogers magic 2.1 .. yes its comming.. that is the reason why they offered the free upgrade to magic from dream as the dream was not getting the update..
it is comming, it is promised and it is known...
Yeah you're right. A statement from the source is here:
www.htc.com/us/support/magic-rogers/help/system-and-upgrade
OTOH my carrier has made it known that it will not be offering any update beyond 1.5 for the magic.
But back on topic, if HTC has been able to cook an unrootable update at least once, they will keep it this way with further updates too. I'm willing to bet the future update will do nothing to help those who would rather run custom roms, as opposed to those who will be content with the official 2.1 release.

M9 Developers Edition 5.1 update Up.

Hi Everyone, my Developers Edition M9 just got updated to 5.1 version 2.8.617.4.
Happy 4th.
Chingonazo
Yep. I believe this is the OTA URL for the dev edition (from 1.32.617.30 to 2.8.617.4) if anyone wants it.
It looks like the firmware isn't up on HTC's download page yet, but I think the Sprint one is.
Mine too
Initial thoughts after just a few minutes of playing with the camera and a few other things, camera launches much faster and pictures look more detailed and consistent. Phone feels smoother and more responsive when double tapping to wake it. If people continue complaining about the M9 after this update then there is no pleasing them. This is why I keep coming back to HTC. I will not fall for the gimmicks that other brands are selling. I will report back if I find anything else of significance.
Chingonazo
I don't have the developer edition of the M9, but I do have the Unlocked edition from HTC and I can confirm I just got the same update about 30 minutes ago.
Mine will not finish update . It keeps aborting. Can someone please be kind enough to make an ruu zip ? The exe way don't work on my PC. I have to do the sd card/0PJAIMG.zip way. Thanks

The answer is here. Flash the RUU from the OP, then the one from this post. Be sure to use ADB to flash the OP RUU. The Dev Edition one can be run on a windows machine as an .exc.

Yes, per @moversi on Twitter. Should be a better ROM than the initial release.
Any patch notes? I just got my phone back from jcase, installed LeeDroid and started setting it up, but maybe i'll hold off..... Although i guess once someone rips the firmwares out of the RUU i could just flash that.
Good that they are fixing the focusing issue on their camera.

in CT ... showed up for me about 2 hours ago. not going to install it until jcase and team can confirm it doesnt have any exploit patches. i hope they can do it soon. i hate being annoyed with the update
if someone needs me to pull the update and upload it for analysis just give me the commands to run through adb

Per HTC, don't pay too much attention to version numbers. Verizon's and Sprint's original ROMs have vastly different numbers but are essentially the same in many respects. Original out-of-the box ROM for Verizon was 1.9; MR will be 1.19.605.22. Test ROMs were numbered 1.12, 1.15 and 1.17 (with interval updates), so don't put too much in stock by the number itself.

There is NO update since 1.19.605.22. Taking the OTA does not break root if you are rooted.
1.80 was released to Sprint and I expect it will be released to Verizon as well within the next few weeks (not based upon any inside information, pure conjecture). I don't believe any OTA will "break root" if it's flashed over TWRP. Otherwise, roll back via one of @dottat's RUU's, take the OTA, reflash TWRP and re-root.
Finally, the OTA will *not* turn an S-OFF device S-ON.
