HTC ROM Update Utility RUU variants explanation

Owners of HTC devices might be a little confused when it comes to understanding the current method of numbering used by HTC to mark their software updates. Here you can find a short explanation of this matter.

First of all, we all know that HTC sells their devices all over the world. Every carrier and region of the world has some more or less different "local settings". By "local settings" I mean things like: emergency call numbers, languages, time-zone settings, network settings, carriers branding, GPS settings and more. Because of that each software for even the same device must be different.

Secondly, even the same device might use different hardware related to the region of the world. For example, HTC One is available in at least 6 different hardware configurations. One of the main difference is modem version. GSM version of the HTC One uses MDM8215 chip and LTE variant has MDM9215. Verizon (US) is known to have MDM9615. So thats already 3 different versions of the same device.

Every HTC update has the following numbering structure:

a.bb.ccc.d

a - the first number of the software. Normally it doesnt increase very often, but when it does, it usually means newer Android version.

bb - this number is also a software number. Increasing bb number means some more or less major update based on the same Android version, but sometimes it might even bring newer version of the HTC Sense.

ccc (also cc or cccc) - this is the number of the region/carrier. It has nothing to do with the software itself being newer or older. More details below.

d (sometimes dd) - the third part of the software version (the fourth one in the RUU name). Usually indicates some minor update with some hot fixes.

Example: 3.20.401.3

So basically, when you are interested in the software version, you should look at a.bb.d (3.20.ccc.3) because ccc (401) means only the region/carrier variant of the software.

Here is the list I was able to gather of possible RUU variants:

a.bb.61.d - Orange UK (United Kingdom)

a.bb.65.d - Orange CH (Switzerland)

a.bb.69.d - Orange PL (Poland)

a.bb.73.d - Orange FR (France)

a.bb.75.d - Orange ES (Spain)

a.bb.110.d - T-Mobile UK (United Kingdom)

a.bb.111.d - T-Mobile DE (Germany)

a.bb.112.d - T-Mobile AT (Austria)

a.bb.113.d - T-Mobile CZ (Czech Republic)

a.bb.118.d - T-Mobile PL (Poland)

a.bb.161.d - Vodafone UK (United Kingdom)

a.bb.163.d - Vodafone FR (France)

a.bb.165.d - Vodafone IT (Italy)

a.bb.166.d - Vodafone CH-DE (Switzerland - Germany)

a.bb.168.d - Vodafone GR (Greece)

a.bb.169.d - Vodafone AT (Austria)

a.bb.206.d - O2 UK (United Kingdom)

a.bb.207.d - O2 DE (Germany)

a.bb.401.d - World Wide English (WWE)

a.bb.415.d - Arabic (UAE/Middle East)

a.bb.468.d - Turkey

a.bb.497.d - Morocco

a.bb.498.d - WWE Brightpoint US (United States)

a.bb.502.d - Cingular US (United States)

a.bb.531.d - T-Mobile US (United States)

a.bb.631.d - Rogers Canada (WWE)

a.bb.651.d - Sprint US (United States)

a.bb.661.d - Telus WWE (Canada)

a.bb.666.d - Bell Canada

a.bb.707.d - Asia (WWE)

a.bb.708.d - Asia HK (Hong Kong)

a.bb.709.d - Asia TW (Taiwan)

a.bb.720.d - Asia (India)

a.bb.728.d - Virgin AU (Australia)

a.bb.751.d - Chunghwa Telecom (Taiwan)

a.bb.771.d - Hutchison 3G UK (United Kingdom)

a.bb.777.d - ?

a.bb.841.d - Telsra WWE (World Wide English)

a.bb.862.d - Voda-Hutch AU (Australia)

a.bb.901.d - TIM IT (Italy)

a.bb.911.d - SK Telecom (South Korea)

a.bb.980.d - Optus AU (Australia)

a.bb.999.d - HTC Test RUU

a.bb.1400.d - China

a.bb.1401.d - ?

a.bb.1403.d - HTC China CMCC (China Mobile Communications Corporation)

a.bb.1540.d - HTC One U.S. Developer Edition

a.bb.1600.d - ?

a.bb.1700.d - HTC One Google Edition

The list is quite long, and Im sure there are still some some missing. If you know more variants, please let me know in the comments section.

The 401 and the 707 devices are usually the first ones that HTC prepare updates for. Carrier branded software is usually months after the WWE updates.

Finally, keep in mind that each software version is connected with the CID (Carrier ID) and MID (Model ID) of your device. That means you cant use whichever version you want, unless you have S-OFF on your device. Each ROM Update Utility.exe package will check your device details (bootloader version, MID and CID) before starting the update process.

Promises in the Google APIs JavaScript Client Library

The JavaScript Client Library for Google APIs is now Promises/A+-conformant. Requests made using gapi.client.request, gapi.client.newBatch, and from generated API methods like gapi.client.plus.people.search are also promises. You can pass in response and error handlers through their then methods.

Requests can be made using the then syntax provided by Promises:

gapi.client.load(‘plus’, ‘v1’).then(function () { 
 gapi.client.plus.people.search({query: ‘John’}).then(function(res) {
 console.log(res.result.items);
 }, function(err) {
 console.error(err.result);
 });
})

All fulfilled responses and rejected application errors passed to the handlers will have these fields:

{
 result: *, // JSON-parsed body or boolean false if not JSON-parseable
 body: string,
 headers: (Object.),
 status: (?number),
 statusText: (?string)
}

The promises can also be chained, making your code more readable:

gapi.client.youtube.playlistItems.list({
 playlistId: PLOU2XLYxmsIIwGK7v7jg3gQvIAWJzdat_,
 part: snippet
 }).then(function(res) {
 return res.result.items.map(function(item) {
 return item.snippet.resourceId.videoId;
 });
 }).then(function(videoIds) {
 return gapi.client.youtube.videos.list({
 id: videoIds.join(,),
 part: snippet,contentDetails
 });
 }).then(function(res) {
 res.result.items.forEach(function(item) {
 console.log(item);
 });
 }, function(err) {
 console.error(error.result);
 });

Using promises makes it easy to handle results of API requests and offer elegant error propagation.

HTC One variants update

Image taken from smart.com.ph

In my article here I was writing about HTC One GSM/LTE (UL) and GSM (U) versions. The question if ROM based on UL firmware can be flashed on U device is still valid, but now we have some more details about these variants.

It turns out, that UL version of HTC One (having both GSM & LTE radio) will be available mostly in the Europe and North America. Model ID (MID) of this version is PN0710000.

U version (GSM radio only) is going mostly to Asian markets. Model ID (MID) of this version is PN0711000. There is also WL variant, which will be the Sprint version of HTC One. I dont know MID number of this version yet.

In the past we had similar situation with slightly different MIDs numbers of the same device. HTC Sensation had PG5813000 and Sensation XE had PG5813001. Both devices can use the same custom ROMs. HTC Desire HD has PD9810000, while Telus variant had PD9814000 and HTC Inspire 4G (U.S. version of HTC Desire HD) had PD9812000. Again, one custom ROM can be flashed on all 3 devices.

There are also some more details that leads to the conclusion, that most probably users with HTC One U variant will be able to use their device with no issues after flashing custom ROM based on UL RUU. This is surely a very good news for both users and custom ROM developers. However, this will probably not enable LTE modem on U devices. So if you want to use LTE and your carrier supports this technology, make sure you will buy HTC One UL.

HTC One A9 officially presented

No more leaks and no more speculations. The newest HTC Android device - HTC One A9 was officially presented today, at the HTC #BeBrilliant Launch event. Although its hard to predict the future of the One A9 by looking only at the hardware specification, the device itself is described by many as controversial due to middle-end Snapdragon 617 SoC and iPhonish design. Is it justified? Id say - NO.

First of all Im still using "old" HTC One M8 as my daily device. Ive never had One M9 and being honest I never "really badly wanted" to have one. In my opinion M9 has a great hardware but the design is a step back to the M7 days. With the M8 it was different. I literally felt in love in that piece of metal uni-body art ever since I touched it for the first time. This love continues, even tho my M8 looks like after one year of a high mountains climbing trip. Surprisingly, even the "C" letter detached from the back and lost somewhere. So its just "H" & "T" now. But I still love it.

With the One A9 I feel like I could possibly use it as my next Android device. Even if the hardware may seems worse than One M9 is equipped with, my general opinion in that matter is simple: if you cant see a real performance difference in a real life operations between two devices, go for the one with a better design.

In my opinion Snapdragon 617 SoC is more than enough to satisfy 99% of customers. Its enough to handle newest games and it should generate much less heat than infamous Snapdragon 810. That means it will also throttle less. With AMOLED display it should find new fans among Samsung users too.

"The Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 617 processor with X8 LTE combines a fast and powerful octa-core CPU with integrated Snapdragon X8 LTE, full 1080p support, and dual-ISPs, designed to deliver the next high-end experiences." - link to Snapdragon 617 specs page.

The overall hardware specification doesnt look bad on the paper and I cant wait to see how One A9 behaves in real.

About the "almost iPhone design" argument - yes, its true that it does look like an iPhone. Yes, its true that HTC was first with such design. The question is - does it really matter? HTC One M9 design was unique and awful (sorry to say that). HTC One A9 design is not as unique, but it just looks good. It doesnt bring any innovation, but Im sure it will find more supporters rather than the M9 design.

Unlike many of my friends Im pleased with what HTC presented today. As a HTC One M8 owner the One A9 sounds like a nice upgrade option to me, the first good looking phone after the One M8.

You can find more details about the HTC One A9 on the official page - HTC One A9.

Docker and Containers Coffee With A Googler meets Brian Dorsey

Posted by Laurence Moroney, Developer Advocate

If you’ve worked with Web or cloud tech over the last 18 months, you’ll have heard about Containers and about how they let you spend more time on building software, instead of managing infrastructure. In this episode of Coffee with a Googler, we chat with Brian Dorsey into the benefits of using Containers in Google Cloud Platform for simplifying infrastructure management.

Important discussion topics covered in this episode include:

• Containers improve the developer experience. Regardless of how large the final deployment is, they are there to make it easier for you to succeed.
• Kubernetes -- an open source project to allow you to manage containers and fleets of containers.

Brian shares an example from Julia Ferraioli who used Containers (with Docker) to configure a Minecraft server, with many plugins, and Kubernetes to manage it.

You can learn more about Google Cloud platform, including Docker and Kubernetes at the Google Cloud Platform site.
