02 UK Deisre abroad will it update to 2.2

as per subject
My Desire was bought from O2, so has it's firmware.
I'm moving abroad next month, will I still get an update to 2.2 ?
I won't be using O2.. will that stop me ?
Would I be better flashing it with a generic rom ?
Thanks

It's about choice...
Why you need flashing? if you Desire daily usage for Phone, SMS, Chat and Check Email and little bit Browse the net.. I think wait until official release for Desire much better than Rooted/Flashing your phone

Thanks for the reply.
I'd prefer not to flash or root it if I can help it.
The question really is will a UK O2 Desire automatically upgrade to 2.2 if used in New Zealand, with Vodafone ?
Thanks

Probably not. My understanding is that receiving updates is dependent on your current version. I'm on Meteor in Ireland, for example, but I won't receive any specific Meteor updates, because I have the generic HTC firmware.
So if you're on a kiwi network, with the O2 software, you'll get neither the HTC update nor any update your new network rolls out.
So either debrand now and get the HTC update whenever it's released, or wait until it comes out and flash the 2.2 rom directly.

One other thing you could do is take it to Vodafone in New Zealand and ask them to flash their own software on it. Since you're a new customer, they'll most likely oblige.
But that's if they even stock the Desire, btw. If they don't you'll have to do it yourself.
One thing to keep in mind re:carrier specific firmwares is that it may take an awfully long time for upgrades to trickle down. You could be looking at an additional month or more between HTC releasing it and your carrier releasing it.
And even when they do, they might disable certain features (wi-fi tethering, for example, isn't too popular with mobile operators)

Thanks
that is what I'd thought..
I suppose the only other thing would be if O2 released it for download, then I could manually install it !!
Are there still issues with wifi and the generic rom ?

Yeah, that's another way. Bookmark this link:

The only issues were with people who people who debranded their phone and flashed to the generic rom. But for anybody else, there's no issues whatsoever.

Thanks
If I change the ROM is there any risk ? I'm not bothered about root, but would like to have the option of 2.2 when I'm not in the UK.
can you point me to a firmware flashing guide ?
Thanks again.

Well this is the latest (generic) rom update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684259
Very easy to install. Just download the .exe to your PC, and open it while your phone is plugged in. The installer will walk you through.
I don't know if it's that simple for branded phones though. You might have to debrand first... I honestly couldn't say. You might ask in that thread and list your FW number. Maybe somebody else will know.
You're sure it's a branded phone, yes? There's no .405 in the version number?

My firmware is : 1.20.207.3 CL171460 release-keys
I'll ask in the other forum.
Thanks

[Q] Phone Stuck on Emergency Calls Mode only :(

Hey Guys,
This is my story. I recently brought dis Defy and till date i was using a standby SIM (DOCOMO) in the fone as i was waiting my reliance number to be ported and den finally use Defy with Vodafone.
In the meanwhile, i rooted my fone n had installed Pays-ROM Defy v5.1 Froyo with Ginger feeling [3.4.3-11 based!]. everything was great and i was really enjoying the modded firmware.. Now, today, when i inserted Vodafone sim, i realise, that my fone is unable to catch vodafone's network. it remains on "Emergency calls only" mode while the fone just besides gets full Vodafone's network. However, if i insert back DOCOMO sim, it gives me proper network. I tried to make a manual search on network and it doesnt even display Vodafone and Relicance network. I can bet that i cld see reliance network on defy before i modded the firmware.
I tried to search in forums but I got multiple issues like sim slot being big or modded rom problem or network frequency issue etc.
If at all this is the ROM problem, is thr a way, we can further mod the ROM so i can use VOdafone or i wld hv to go back to the stock rom?? if yrs, then hw is it possible to move from PAYS to stock rom??
PLS HELP!!!!!!!!

see my post.....it should help...

It is certainly the base band problem. you can change your base band corresponding with your mobile provider.

[Q] How to return to original "SI number" firmware?

My XPS is 1257-6713. I assume this is the number that means no brand italian version of the XPS.
I was wondering, how to return to the stock firmware that has the same number as my device? Is there any easy way to do it?

Have u unlocked the bootloader??
If unlocked, relock it
Then repair the phone with Sony Update Service

I'm locked and I never unlocked. Anyway, I did that many times, if I have the generic world firmware on and then repair, I will get a repaired generic world firmware, I won't get the italian firmware.
Sorry, I confused SUS with SPCC. So if I repair with SUS I will get the original firmware? Will try tomorrow and report back.

wait... u want the italian firmware??
i'm not really sure if update service can give it to u
u should find a .ftf file of the italian version then flash it into your XS with flashtool
(actually i cant really get y u bother getting the italian version)
I supposed u have rooted your phone and have CWM
if u still want to try update servcie
remember to back up things becoz using update service will wipe your stuff

It's probably not a big deal but I think there is a reason why they put those codes in there. Maybe there are small hardware differences between different SI numbers, I don't know. Maybe that's what's causing those weird bugs on JB for people who updated using flashtool? I remember hearing back when I had the Ray that this was the case, but maybe I heard wrong.
Anyway, the main reason why I wanted to be able to do this was because I'm considering selling the phone, and wanted to know how to return it to it's original stock firmware version.

I dont think it is related to the region
and seems Xperia S only have two version in hardware
The Japanese version known as Sony Ericson Xperia NX (which dont have NFC function) and the LT26i we are using
those jellybean bugs are universal too
actually, those people use flashtool are usually becoz the jellybean firmware are not yet released in their country so they can only be obtained with flashing the ftf file in flashtool

I used the flashtool as well as the official JB hasn't released here yet, apparently for Sony Italy doesn't exist, and if it does, it comes after freaking third world countries.
Anyway, what's the point of the SI number then, if all the XS phones are identical?

lol I know that feel bro, those update usually release first in America and Europe. Italy are not supposed to be the slowest one.
(Well, some says Hong Kong (where I'm from) is supposed to be one of the slowest, but seems not really true in major update.)
I think different SI number of a rom indicate which input languages it provide in the Xperia keyboard is the main thing.
For example, they dont think u need to type Chinese in Italy, so u may not find the Chinese keyboard in your rom.
And i just flash a .211 recently, which i dont know where region it is for.This rom is lack of the Chinese keyboard. I could only flash it myself with recovery.
Maybe not just language thing all the time, some more stock settings that may suit you a bit more.
BTW, not all XS are identical. When it just release in 2012, Xperia S is known to have the yellow screen problem. (When the device overheat, the screen will show yellow patches in some part. This is a minor hardware failure) But sony offer free repair for those devices then, which replace it with a better screen. We can assume that all repaired XS and newer XS are identical now.

Questions Regarding 32.4.A.1.54

Regarding 32.4.A.1.54
1 is there a UK customized version available ?
2 if i use one for a certain network would it lock my phone to that network as its currently sim free , or would it just limit me to that network in till i change the ROM ?
3 would a customized version for a different country be better ?
thanks for any reply's

use the MENA Arabic version. I found it much better in terms of bloatwareZ
and its in English btw, its just designed for MiddleEast
however i am not sure what bands it won't support for Europe.
however there is also CENTRAL EUROPE version which i havent tried yet

You can choose to exclude parts before the flash.
I exclude all .ta files
Flashing a rom shouldn't lock your phone. But flashing a rom from a different region or CDA, xould cause wifi / radio conflicts.

if your bootloader is still LOCKED then kindly first downgrade to Android6.01 and EXTRACT TA.IMG using DIRTYCOW SCRIPT available on XDA

no yasu my boot loader is not locked im refering to the networks on xperifirm via the downloads... please read what im asking based on . E.g my phone is unlocked NETWORK WISE... the rom is normally use is Generic UK but its not on the latest update... but there is a Vodafone ( network provider ) in the Uk which has this rom up to date... e.g no different network bands.. but i'm assuming vodafone bloatware... also im asking based on it being a vodafone rom would it limit other network sims from working.

cheers
cheers patrick

Good day dear.
thank you for explaining again. yes I got confused with the term UNLOCKED with bootloader only.
1. since your device is not SIMLOCKED you can flash any other region as long as you stay with-in your variant. the VODAFONE may have presintalled bloatware in this case try flashing central europe? (if its latest).
2. apart from anything else, consider downgrading to android6 or 5.1.1 for once, in order to EXTRACT TA.IMG

Emui 10

Emui 10 beta in Germany

Odd, I read a few days ago that the initial beta would only be open in China, with other regions following at a later date.
I can't even install the Friendly User Test client here. Keeps complaining about needing the latest Huawei Mobile Service application, but there is no update available for it when I check on Google Play. Maybe the Canadian model lacks that particular service.

Same here in Malaysia

Nothing here in Bulgaria still ... I check frequently . I even tried to change regions but with no luck .

I've installed the beta app but not sure I want to update, the list of bugs include some features I want to work, like front camera night mode
Maybe will have been fixed by the time it's offered here, videos I've watched show the UI and features looking pretty much the same as 9 too, although that was a couple month old video

Nothing here in Slovenia

Beta is up

Nice. How long did you have to wait to subscribe? I just sent the request to join the project. I'm in France, C431E4R2P2

I am confused . In that huawei page they said that Bulgaria wont be included for the beta emui but they specify that ELE-L29 9.1.0.193(C431E4R2P2) that will get . I am in Bulgaria and I have the exact same model . So when we will get it ? Every other eu country got it but not mine . I am checking everyday 2-3 times and I will be mad if we dont get it ... My model number is the same with same 193 software update .

Hey @All,

Thank yall ♥

Are you sure about that? In first place I wasn't able to join the beta at all, since it told me you cannot join if you're running a carrier version of Android. Thus I had to hard reset my phone. :/

Read here the requirements
https://consumer.huawei.com/en/community/details/%5bEMUI%2010%20Beta%20Opens%5d%20Get%20Ahead%20of%20the%20Line!/topicId_26877/showBread_1/fbclid_IwAR0mNOs1vh1_XJrCd2YKugkYXN67TyXegPHW9w5L14iCr-eUZwRTkXLXY-I/
.193 is the required firmware and also the latest available carrier
You should not be getting update notifications for carrier firmware if you flashed unbranded/global or whatever the non carrier is called on Huawei, and a reset alone won't remove carrier firmware

What you don't get is that for some carriers, when you put sim on the phone, it downloads a software update which installs over the original firmware. It works as a layer.
When you reset your phone without putting the sim on, you get the original firmware without this carrier layer. That's how I could join the project. Then I put the sim on again because you can't join the project without a sim on the phone.

Ah ok, I've been with Samsung for years so not used to Huawei methods yet

Anyone getting constant crashes with Nova Launcher on Android 10 that revert back to stock launcher? This happens to me Everytime I press the home navigation button when in I'm in home screen.

I think you are not right . Does't matter . The phones are unlocked . For example my phone is c431 model and it's listed in the huawei topic that we will get beta but nothing for now . Carriers dont install anything on your phone . Its not branded !

See above :
There is the usual firmware, plus a software layer installed by... The carrier. It's downloading itself right away when i put my sim on.
I never said it would lock the phone. But with this carrier software, you can not join the project (it claims the firmware is not compatible). I had to reset my phone to delete this carrier software, then put my sim and join the project before installing the carrier software.
