I think you have probably got one of the USA versions which are skipping 4.2.2 and are going to be updated to 4.3 before the end of this month. If this is the case, you are now running the most up to date software for your device.

thank you bro. ill wait till the end of the month then, before manually updating or tampering with my phone. although i have no idea what the 'bm' in bm_001 stands for, doesnt sound like any american company like att and verizon etc but hopefully you are right

BM = Bell Mobile, Canadian carrier

Now would be a good time to s-off your device (completely reversible) before doing any updates which will prevent this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
Having s-off will, in the event of any problems updating your device, give you the ability to 'rebrand' your device to any suitable version and hence receive timely updates whilst still remaining completely stock if that is what you desire.

Looking for stock ROM

Hey guys,
my HD7 seems to have some hardware problems (random rebooting etc). So I decided to send it in for repair. Since I'm currently running the leaked HTC Mango ROM (7720.68) I need to roll back to a stock NoDo ROM. Now there are so many ROMs floating around these forums nowadays, that I have no idea which would be the on to choose for my device:
HTC HD7, Germany, unbranded, not SIM locked.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
you can go here and select the suitable ROM for your device,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD7/Shipped_Roms
but be careful because you may brik your phone if you flash a wrong ROM
I think you should flash the last ROM which is the only one in the Mango Section

Thank you very much. I think I'll go with the first European ROM and apply all available updates afterwards. That should be sufficient enough to look like stock.

It is OK, as you like,
But keep in your mind that the Mango ROM is official leaked one and is stock,
My suggestion is to go with it if you don't care about chevron unlocking your device.

I have a developer account, so I don't need Chevron to unlock my device. The thing is, I need to send my device in for repair, so anything Mango like wouldn't be considered to be stock as the update actually hasn't been delivered yet.

Unless they have a US handset they'll be running custom ROMs. What software build are you on at the moment (go to Settings>About phone>Software information)?

Not Sure, I haven't got the update. maybe someone will provide us a download link. So we don't have too wait for the OTA too pop up.
Thanks, didn't see it though. Seems like an important update, or why they want to push it out while the 4.4 is coming. BTW, the 4.4.1 is in the make. I hate google. If the update is as easy as the windows update, then no problem, but this updates are so hard, take so long time.

I believe this update will bring new radio and most likely a prl change. Still haven't seen update as I am on East Coast. Also running logcat too help provide DL link when it pops up. unless someone gets the link posted first
waiting for the new firmware as well. Hopefully dev will be able to provide a firmware only to flash over existing ROM.
whoever downloads the OTA, please post it

The Update was pulled by Sprint. Reason still unknown. HTC asking sprint questions why. This was going too be last update before KitKat rolls out. Expecting Roll Out date for Android 4.4 should be Jan 20-24.

S-OFF & OTA

If I flash the stock recovery, and re-lock the bootloader while having S-OFF could I take any OTA update, and still be able to unlock the bootloader and root? Would it keep S-OFF?
There is no need to take the OTA if you are S-OFF.
Then again there is NEVER a need to take an OTA.

Alrighty, so your a developer, how long do you think it would take to make the firmware available for us non-ota takers? I am just having troubles out of the 4.3 update. Thanks

Usually, after an update rolls out, someone puts out a flashable for s-off users the same day, maybe the next day, as soon as they have the download zip.

Im confused on this a bit. My phone is currently on 6.09.401.5. I see in the forums that there is an update to 6.09.401.10. But in this thread you offer the new 5.05.651.2, which seems to be lower version than the former two. Can shed some light on this? Many thanks.

That's because the base that you're currently on is a port from Verizon's 4.4.3 Kitkat update. They had more updates than we had. So for Sprint, we're currently still at 4.4.2. with a lower version #.
We won't move from that point til what is probably going to be the M7's final update for us, Lollipop 5.0.
Thanks!! :good:

You're right. He doesn't. He talked about doing a blind ROM from it, so he might still give it a go~
