czech republic on vodafone the phone is debranded and i havent root it.
and the update is 1.21.405.2
Yes! On Orange UK with unbranded desire stock firmware.
Update available, downloading now. No mention of what it is though.
A few invisible bug fixes and speed improvements...you'd probably not notice if you were really happy with your phone. Little cosmetic things like a counter on the SMS app, now icons on a couple of apps...etc.
Nothing major, but may fix a few niggles.
How do you know if you have this update? I have just checked and am being told that my phone is up to date. Last update I applied was a few weeks ago when I got the handset from Orange UK.

They roll it out, I was told mine was up to date four times and then it came up on the fifth so it's a bit random...it's fast when it does download to I'm guessing they're not pushing it out to EVERY single Desire at the same time.
If you really want it it's in ROM development or linked on my signature, but its the full 150MB-odd RUU file not the small OTA update
My phone is telling me there are no updates available, hopefully it will be soon!

Hi,
Does it make any difference as to what network i buy the desire on? (UK)
For example, i know it will be locked to that network, but is there branding or any other locks for different networks?
Thanks
Orange have the most branding. T-Mobile and Three have little branding, Vodafone have with the latest update that go pulled so none -- O2 none.
However you can de-brand any of the phones to get rid of all of the crap they put on there. I did with my Orange phone as they're the slowest to dish out updates and their software was awful.
excellent cheers i was planning on changing the OS anyway... my Diamond lasted 3 hours after i bought it, before i changed the ROM
Vodafone, until recently, left their Desires alone but a recent OTA update added splash screen/Vodafone 360 app to it (which people were extremely annoyed about!!)
T-Mobile has splash screens (I think)
Orange change loads, add their own apps and generally mess it up so avoid!!
O2 add things too, don't know about 3
Best thing, go to CPW and get it on upgrade and you should get a SIM-free, generic Desire - I did this and always do as I hate branded phones!!
Thanks. Its actually going to be my Dad getting it he's going to see what he can get on his O2 business account i'll be playing with different versions of Android on it anyway...
The main reason I'd say get it SIM-free is speed of updates - operators have other product codes so you'd have to wait on them to OK an update before getting it, regardless of added apps, etc...got mine SIM-free from CPW on upgrade so got the FroYo update as soon as I got back from the US
ok cool.
Its probably going to be running a modified version of Android anyway, so shouldnt need to worry about updates
I was running custom ROMs too but found that stock FroYo does all I want it to so I can live with the crap apps I don't ever use for now
Awesome phone, though

Please I'm using o2 branded HTC desire, do I need to debrand it before I get group 2.2 as I am presently in Lagos and not in the UK at the moment.
Can anyone share there firmware version for a stock UK T-mobile HOX. Not only do I not get the 1.28 upgrade (surprise surprise) but I seem to be on a version no-one else seems to mention 1.26.110.5. Can anyone help me confirm this is the standard t-mobile version. Cheers.
it's mentioned a few times in the HOX branch - think it's one of the first impressions threads. I did a thread search on your version and found a few mentions.

Thanks for the reply. I did search but didn't really find the answer to my question. I will try putting it another way.
Does anyone have a STOCK UK T-MOBILE HOX that has a firmware version different to 1.26.110.5 or are we always going to be massively behind even the other carrier branded phones with updates.
Didn't really want to root yet but it is looking more like the only answer.
110 is the standard code for T-mobile UK, so yes, you seem to have the correct T-Mobile UK ROM.
Yes, it'll probably be a while till you get the 1.28 update as t-mobile are especially thorough in their testing before they release a ROM update. However, they're no worse than orange since they joined together.
I can confirm i'm on the same software and on T-mobile UK. I rooted because in the 4 years of being with t-mobile they never release a software update anywhere close to an expected date.
Some folk are still waiting for updates to Froyo on phones apparently.

Hey everyone, recently purchased an international HOX. Anyway, set it up last night (wifi only for now) and immediately searched for 1.28 upgrade to no avail. I tried several times again today, but every time i search for updates it states that my phone is up to date even though it clearly is running 1.26. I tried searching for an answer but it appears no one else is having this problem (I could be wrong!) Can anyone help me out here?
*Edit - Please note I bought the phone online from Hong Kong so its 1.26.708.2, I see that other people from Australia are having a similar issue.
Thanks
Jkdem
If you've not set too much up just get the RUU and flash that
or be patient.
So far the 1.28.708 hasn't been released,as far as i know the latest release was the 1.28.401.

Just be patient, I guess... HTC is sending these updates in batches. Mine previously has a 1.26.980.9 from Australia. I received my OTA update (1.28.980.10) three weeks after it was released for the Euro version of HOX. Also, if you are on a contract, you will receive your updates after your provider rolls them out.
Or you can try calling your closest HTC service desk and ask if they already had a whiff of an update coming in. Probably they will just ask for your IMEI but will tell you that there's no update available yet.
Why are o2 so bloody slow at releasing software updates? Lets face it what different from three UK or orange UK software? all o2 do is add there own apps.
Every phone I have had from o2 has been the same slow at updating. I didn't want to root this phone yet has I see no real reason, now am thinking I should just to get away from waiting for o2.

Yea I agree, I'm still on 1.26 so two updates have been released and we still haven't got any.
I don't want to root mine yet either if at all, having said that I don't have any major issues, music skips frequently which is an annoyance so it would be good to get the update for that because it apparently fixes that.

This was my primary reason for no longer going to o2 for upgrades. My previous two phones have been from CPW and my HOX was from Phones4U - the reason being that they both supply unbranded phones on identical tariffs to those from o2. Lesson learnt from my Symbian days - waiting forever for branded updates.
I got fed up waiting and installed ARHD. I had a SGS 2 before and o2 were one of the first to update to ics but they are letting everyone down this time

Also I read rooting it will not update things like the radio? Or at least what I have read....
Anyway am on Three and only updated to 1.28 this morning, but yes now stuck with an older firmware until they bring out 1.29......
I totally agree, O2 completely suck with these updates. HTC are releasing updates to help people resolve issues they are having with the device, but it seems O2 couldn't care less if people are having the problems or not.
I previously got my phones from Carphone Warehouse but on this occasion I went to O2 because the contracts at Carphone were more expensive. However, a week after getting my phone Carphone emailed me saying that I could get an upgrade and their tariffs would not be beaten by carriers and they would match them. Unfortunatley I was on holiday at the time so I couldn't return my phone to O2 and go to Carphone.
O2 really need to pull their fingers out and give a **** about their customers.
Just got of the phone with O2 and happened to get through to someone who has same device. He said O2 do have the update and are looking at rolling it out first Q this month. He said we should have it by 14th.
Thanks for the info. Hope you are right.

Well this is weird! I got the 28 update pretty much as soon as it was available. and I expect the same to happend with 29 when it is available in UK. I am on O2 contract

Is your phone branded to o2? can you use any sim you want? or is this o2 only? Seems you have a un-branded phone and using o2 sim only

Yer am almost 100% your phone is un-branded and you can use any sim.
I am hoping that it's gonna be 1.29 we will recieve. Some even talk about 1.30 coming in a couple of days.
It is really annoying to be stuck on 1.26.
Wish I ordered my phone from phones4u.
I didn't expect this and the ugly laggy boot animation I got. Why is this god for them?
At least customer service was nice enough to make it simfree for free. Other than tha, shame on you o2.

No update yet. I think it could just be that O2 are more cautious. v1.28 didn't fix some of the faults reported, and if they knew of 1.29 or even 1.30 the sensible thing to do would be to wait to reduce the number of updates.
The average user gets fed up of updates quickly, and I know some people that don't bother because of it.
You won't get to speak to anyone at O2 that knows what's going on - the engineers etc are separate from customer services (who know nothing, despite what they might think). It's best to just wait.
I take it there is no ruu we can use instead?

As has been stated - phones from Phones4U are not O2 branded. That is why you get the update.
I have a G4 that I thought was SIM free, bought from CEX - I'm in the UK and it has no carrier splash screen, no carrier apps or random antivirus trials. To all intents and purposes it is stock. However today I received an update to software version v10G-234-20. This is not Marshmallow and it ran in at 343.19MB. I've seen no mention of it being released anywhere, which leads me to assume that it is an update from at least a month ago. The model number is LG-H815. I check for updates very regularly so this update certainly hadn't been available for my device a couple of days ago.
So my question is, why is this update only being pushed through now? And does it mean my device will get Marshmallow incredibly slowly too?
Thanks in advance, and apologies if this has already been asked/answered before, but I couldn't see it anywhere.
