Froyo update for Asia/Singapore?

Bros,
All I heard so far is the Froyo update will roll out in Europe this weekend. So how about Asia/Singapore area? Is there anyone here from Singapore? and any news about it?
My phone is not lock, will I get the OTA update?
Hope to hear from you guys.

Still undisclosed
I tried contacting HTC regarding this a few days ago, you can read their reply here:
www[dot]jatyap[dot]com/2010/08/froyo-release-date-for-htc-desire-in-asia-still-undisclosed/
Sorry I can't post links yet...

SEA have yet to receive an OTA update (1.21.xxx.x) that Europe received prior to this 2.2 update...not sure if hTC will release it all at once, but i'm afraid that it will take some time before SEA receive the 2.2 OTA...but i do hope i'm wrong...

I think the SEA codes are
1.19.707.7 and 8

Sorry, misread your post.
However, most Desire users currently already run Eclair (Android 2.1 update 1).
I think this was the latest release prior to FroYo.
Are you talking about the build numbers?
1.21.x.x - Europe
1.19.707.x - Asia
is what I read... There are a few other numbers if you care to look them up.

You can do a manual update if you like. I did last night and took me 1.5 hrs. It doesn't require a genius to do it.
There's another thread, I just followed it and now enjoys froyo.

flightposite, where are you located? Is this possible without rooting the phone? Can you give us the location of that thread?

I'm located in Simei.
Go to below and follow the instructions.

I may sound dumb, but I have no idea if It's rooted or not. I got my phone one month ago and have no background whatsoever.
But hey, at least I'm smart enough to follow the instructions and upgrade to froyo. : -)

yup, that that's the number i'm talking about...
IIRC, europe devices receive an update before 2.2 update...this update includes an updated radio which is required for the 2.2 update, but SEA has yet to receive this update, thus making me feel that the 2.2 update for SEA will take some time...
honestly i feel like flashing the 2.2 update using the methods described in xda, if it doesnt arrive anytime soon...

i would suggest you go ahead and do the manual flashing of the ROM and updating if you can stomach the Goldcard creation. Its considerably complicated and enough things can go wrong for the risk to be there.
I believe the official update for asia is at least one month away. In europe even the operator-locked handsets will take a couple of weeks to get their 2.2
I did mine and took less than 2 hours.
It isnt rooted at all. Just using a different original HTC ROM.

are we able to flash back to the Asia ROM when froyo is made available for Asia ROM to get back the warranty? I don't think HTC will know about it.

Stan79 : htc will know about it. Happened to a friend who is using the nexus one. He had to send a few e-mails and make 2 trips down to the service centre in harbour front to get it sorted. Oh by the way the service centre sucks big time. I have been there twice and have been trading e-mails with them for the last 2 months to get my phone sorted out. Till now i still have a buggered phone.

latest news from HTC Malaysia's facebook:
Froyo for asia will be coming late Q3. Sept maybe?

I like how HTC is an asian company and the users in asia are always one of the last to get any updates. Happen when i was using the touch pro 2 as well, waited forever for wm6.5 update.

Re-Branding To Orange

Possibly one of the most strangest questions ever asked, ah well.
Is there any way to re-brand my device to an Orange one? My phone came in-branded from Carphone Warehouse but because of feautures like Orange Wi-Fi and stuff it would make more sense for me to be branded.
Would this require for me to change my CID though?

Can't be done - you'd need to take it back to CPW and then get one from Orange directly

If you are on orange use Google Play to download the apps, both Orange WiFi, and My Orange (the account software) can be downloaded. I got my phone from P4U unbranded.

I know but Orange has another Wi-Fi application build directly into its devices that allows you to use the home wi-fi as signal, rather than the network.. it's amazing for battery.

I did it with an un-branded HTC Desire HD, however that was before the boot loader were locked so I reckon it has something to do with that, also there may not be an Orange RUU knocking about

Is it this you're referring to - just found it on Orange's website...
http://www2.orange.co.uk/servlet/Sa...=OUKService&t=Service&cid=1306843176798&tab=2
I assume only branded Orange phones came with the Signal Boost app pre-installed, so we need to find out if unbranded HOX's on Orange can get it from somewhere. I am also running stock rom at the moment and don't want to root my phone just yet...

Wow i want this!

Weird - I'm on a branded Orange handset and I don't have a "Signal Boost" application.

Just found a list on oranges website, looks like the phone has to be UMA compatible for signal boost - http://help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/personal/446693

Not strictly true. It could bedone but needs S-OFF
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Signal Boost aka UMA isn't available for the One X on Orange. Applying the Orange branded firmware would be pointless if you're trying to get this as it isn't supported. The Orange branded firmware is basically a theme, a startup/shutdown animation, locked default Orange APNs and the Your Orange app preinstalled
Signal Boost isn't just an app either. You need the UMA RIL and the RIL switcher also. People have extracted it from other phones but they're all Gingerbread phones and have different basebands anyway.

Signal Boost doesn't require S-OFF as you don't alter the baseband at all. Just unlocking via HTCdev would work assuming you actually had a compatible UMA RIL + RIL switch.

Signal Booost ICS Orange ZIP CMW
Hello One X owners, just happened to stumble upon this thread looking for the answer as to whether orange included signal boost in the one X for my girlfriend.
I happen to have extracted all the files needed and created a flashable zip.
I did this for the SGS2 however i see no reason when looking through the files that this wouldn't work on the One X.
Here's a link to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663778 if anyone wants to try this then feel free but beware it may soft brick your device. But i would be very interested to know the results. If it comes up as a bad zip, i will need to rebuild the zip with an update updater script for the HTC filesystem.
Please post in my thread linked above if you have any results.
---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------
Btw if this doesn't work people, if someone could get me a download link for the Orange Branded Firmware for the One X, i would be happy to extract the files needed and rebuild my zip but as i say, try the one above and let me know in my thread.
Thanks

Btw, this can be done. You just simply need to flash the orange firmware containing the package and hey presto, you are orange branded..
Now coming from a Samsung based android background i have no idea how to flash roms on the One X, but on the S2 flashing stock roms is incredibly simple.

Signal boost is available on my Orange UK branded One X.
I've just noticed it so it may have been included in the 4.0.4 update pushed out in September.

Tried flashing on my one x, nothing shows up in apps drawer. Running ARHD 9.7.0.
edit - went one step further and installed the apk out of the zip file, now the app is in my drawer but it FC's on open.

it is available on one x it came with the 2.17 official update in the uk as i had it on mine untill flashed custom rom

Update 1.29.401.11 UK/Ireland OTA Out Now!!!

Right as the only other thread for this update is a "Europe" one, and that HTC obviously thinks the UK is not in Europe, I've started this thread/campaign for comments on this update!
We all know the rest of Europe have got this, so can we please keep this thread UK/Ireland based only!
Come on HTC your UK/Ireland batch of customers are waiting yet again!!!
Please note we are talking about the very latest OTA update here, as per the title of the thread, do not post comments that relate to the earlier update version 1.29.401.7

In other words a post for everyone to say "i've not got the update yet..."

Update 1.29
I got my 1.29 update yesterday afternoon. Doesn't seem to have sorted anything major.
"Phase Beam" live wallpaper still doesn't work. Now, to wait for 1.30.

I have a unbranded handset. No update for me. Not sure if i want to go down the manual RUU route again.

I just used the RUU, all seems to be OK so far

I got it yesterday on the one I sent back today, and got it straight away when turning on its replacement this afternoon. Both unbranded.

Nope! :-( T-Mobile UK

I'm just going to wait again, 2 weeks will go fast and at least it gets tested by others in europe before we get it.
I've got this mobile for 2 years so couple of weeks is nothing, and I must admit the updates are coming thick and fast compared with the desire I had.
I will be checking couple of times a day though lol

Please read through the threads in the One X Forum.
There are two 1.29.xxx updates the has just received the first one that doesn't fix the flicker, the second one is doing the rounds in Europe but not the UK yet, we have to wait another week
The latest update when it arrives in the UK will be 1.29.401.11 and the flickering will take a little time to sort itself out while the phone monitors voltage over the course of a days/weeks

same here branded phone so it is worse for us who have a branded one and one more thing i am disappointed about is that on my s2 say if i was on gingerbread 2.3.5 and a new custom rom based on 2.3.6 took my fancy i could easily update everything and say i was on the latest and greatest firmware..and that was the same with ICS..on my s2 i was on cm9 4.0.4 now here i do not even know if by flashing the latest custom rom i am actually fully updated or not hence why i am pissed off about

Wonder how long we will have to wait this time & i also wonder if HTC have thought up any new excuses for why we are waiting.

We need to find out why UK is being delayed all the time, HTC should give answers!
The first OTA (1.28) was received at the same time as everyone else - however, these two 1.29 updates have both been delayed.
... I hope its not a trend for the UK.

htc one x nightmare

i have a htc one x locked to the 3 network, so far i have only had 1 update a couple of months ago which upgraded me too software number 1.28.771.9 this update cleared the htc sence crashing and at first worked perfectly, months have passed and slowly the charge time has gone right up, while charging and doing other basic tasks various battery monitors showed me it was reaching up to 60 degree's, the phone its self seems to stop looking for network a lot and unless i turn flight mode on/off again it will happily sit idle without network. Finally general battery life is terrible, just general web/facebook browing soon after charge can rapidly drain it. As far as im aware un-branded phones have had 3+ updates for the one x so im confused as to why i havent.
Help Please

if you HOX is defect free:
UNLOCK AND UNLEASH THE BEAST

I don't know which country you are in but my HOX is locked to 3Sweden. The case in Sweden is that 3 has their ****ty thing that they implement their bloatware in every update, hence the slow updates. Anyways, I rooted my phone after a week and currently has ARHD installed, planing to install CM10 when it's good to go for daily usage. ARHD is an amazing ROM, and great battery life to go with that. I recommend to root your phone and install a custom ROM, otherwise you don't unleash the true power of the almighty beast!

It's popular for the wrong reasons in truth. Only because it is the only way at the moment. To not root the hox, is to have a Bugatti in the garage, or riding with it in town. It needs the racing tracks, the same for hox. The hox needs the rooting and modifying in order to be truly unleashed. Sad but true.

There is another update coming for 3 users there is a thread on it
I'm on the same as you 1.28 but don't have the problems you speak of!

Three UK are saying the 1.29 update will be out this week. Don't know if I believe them but we live in hope!
I have considered rooting as well but I don't want to give up my warranty. In the last few days I am getting the "loading.." message every time I use the home button (sense is crashing). I have had to use a different launcher to make my phone usable for now (and to avoid me throwing it at a wall). I am waiting for the 1.29 update to come then will probably factory reset it and see how it goes.
Good luck whatever you decide.

Hi I've also got a 3uk phone which I unlocked to all Sims usable, I'm also still only running v1.28 desperately waiting for three to bring out an update I'm having problems with memory disappearing, WiFi problems, my phone keeps over heating and speakers and head phone got this crackling noise. I'm really hoping this update which people say is coming this week will solve all 3 UK problems on there hox

I am on Three too (unrooted), and I am having none of the problems you talked about - although I have just sent mine to HTC to get the GPS sorted out.
I suggest you send yours off too, 1.28 or not your phone shouldn't be having those problems.

Hi according to HTC I voided my warranty because I sim unlock my phone which means that now I can't return it now for repairs.

Don't worry, that's not correct.
SIM unlock is fine, it's the bootloader unlock that they take issue with.

Not Eligible For Update Due To Old Software

is your phone an s off test phone if youve got pre-release software? unfortunately,thats typically how OTAs work. only specific builds will OTA. leaks and pre-release builds often will not.
youll need to manually update to .8
if your s off,you can prolly run the de-crypted ruu,or you could install recovery.
if your s on,and got the phone legitimately,contact vzw and see if they can do anyting for you. otherwise your stuck until an ruu is released,or until you root,install a custom recovery and flash a rom.

Can't you do a factory reset back to the original .8 software version? (It sounded like you went back a version to try to get it unlocked)

no. factory reset only erases user data. it does not restore any firmware or software.

There was a major delay on the Verizon version, they had to open all the phones and relash the software, that's another reason they had a extra month delay. It looks like you are on a old software. Unless you s-off you might be stuck on that that without an ruu to flash

I had my first One blow the earpiece speaker (ok, it got dropped ) and I went to several Verizon stores to get try and get a warranty replacement. All of the stores would warranty it no problem but because I was out of the 14 day purchase window, I had to have them ship me one. I got a returned unit, not a refurb that is perfect. They overnighted me the phone but would not replace in-store because of the elapsed time.
So, a heads up to you: You could find a cool rep at the store but be prepared to have one shipped to you. Just find a reason to warranty it (like camera issues or a blown earpiece) and you will probably get a new or returned unit. No refurbs yet.
Or, wait for s-off/send to sonic and load updated, better custom ROMs.

Well actually I'd call the 1-800-922-0204 press #0, then 0, until it asks for you account password, then wait for a rep. then explain your issue, and tell them because of the way the phone is meant to stay together you don't want a refurb not too mention this is not your fault, it's theirs, if you get a crappy rep, hang up and try again.
I called back 4 times once and finally got the nicest lady and solved my issue.
