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.

What carrier are you with? What country are you in? Is your phone unlocked/debranded? Have you rooted it?
You've provided zero information

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!
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.
Hi my friend has a T-Mobile branded One X with a 3 SIM card. Does this stop it receiving OTA updates or are they just slow?
I was wondering this because he is on 3.16 which is a little out of date.

No, it's the phone CID that determines updates or not...he's waiting for T-Mobile to offer an update. He'll be kept waiting.

The update will be released by T-Mobile in his case, and this will probably never happen in the near future, this is the thing that characterizes every brand he should consider himself lucky if he gets another one :good: i wouldn't expect it that much though
If the carrier insists on branding the phone then they should be obliged to offer every update. Surely they can't say no to the Sense 5 one?

yeah but they can do it whenever they want
Yeah i see your point there. But it does reflect badly on HTC if they do refuse to do a large update anyway and would on T-Mobile too. Would certainly put me off their contracts. Got the unbranded so i can avoid any update problem.

you made the best choice never buy a branded phone, this is one of my rules
And it's a good one to follow I guess it isn't so bad if the phone can do S-Off as you can just change the CID to HTC_001 but in this phones case no one has found a way :/
So I just purchased a new pixel 2 XL, an I'm getting ready to update my phone to the latest 8.1 OTA firmware from Google developer section (pie looks to have too many problems that are unacceptable to me), and I'm seeing T-Mobile firmware. I am on T-Mobile in the US, but I'm wondering if this is firmware for European market or something weird.
Should I use the T-Mobile firmware, or the non-specified OTA?

Go into settings/system/about phone. Look at the build number at the bottom. Choose the firmware that correspond with that number.
Eg: OPM2.

Thank you for answering, unfortunately the only update that corresponds with OPD1 for my device is the firmware I am currently on. There are also multiple firmwares with the same date for other similar numbers (there is an OPD1 for Rogers, as well as one for Telstra and another with no signifier and so on). I'm not seeing anything that really correlates to my device in particular. Not for updates anyways. The build numbers have changed.
In my mind it is only logical that they have Google images and Verizon images as they never released model that was carrier specific outside of those two.

Some carriers like Verizon sell (not make) the Pixel thus the .img files correlates with that network for compatibility. I also use my device on T-Mobile US but us the OPM2 firmware because TMobile firmware (OPM4) caused modem issues

I really appreciate your help. I am on stock firmware and have really good connectivity, so I think I'll do what you have done and stick to similar firmware.
I have one last question. I'm about to sideloaded this, the instructions say to make sure there are no pending updates before proceeding. I have pending pie update which I have not downloaded, is this going to cause issues? I can't see why it would. I guess at worst it will reject my sideloaded at worst if it was expecting something else?

Already updated. Everything is smooth so far. Thank you for taking the time to help. I used to make ROMs when ICS was out, but everything has changed. Partition scheming and the whole 9. I'm a newbie all over again. I forgot how much I enjoyed Android. Very liberating after being on iOS for so long. Anyhow, have a good day.

Lol. Yeah, much has changed since the good ole days. Welcome home! ?
Can some one confirm what OTA should I download for T-Mobile US on Pixel XL 2 for 9.0 ? Thank you
The one NOT for Telstra.
I'm hoping they release an update for TMobile. I'm having serious signal issues since moving to Pie... Once the signal drops a bit I immediately drop to 3G or even H+... Never had that issue with the TMobile release for Oreo.
As the headline states, I bought a Fold on launch day here in the U.S. My only option was the AT&T version as best buy was allocated only 6 units for the entire state on launch date and they were all AT&T models. Well, I am a T-Mobile user so I got the phone unlocked by a third party. Cost me $55 and had to hook it up to my PC but the phone was unlocked in less than three minutes. Phone is awesome in every aspect and although I still have bloatware and the AT&T logo on startup, the phone is amazing.
Problem: I see articles and postings about updates to the phone. Security patches, firmware updates that happened in October and now November yet my phone get none of them. Did some research and read a lot of back and forth over whether it was Samsung or AT&T or T-Mobile as to who would provide updates. Well, T-mobile doesn't carry the phone, AT&T will not update an unlocked phone of theirs and Samsung smart switch also does not work with AT&T branded, unlocked phones.
So here I sit with August 2019 security software and old firmware. with no way to get these updates. It's been ages since I rooted (or Jailbroke) a phone but it seems like this might be my only option unless you guys can suggest a way for me to get these updates. I would prefer to find a simple easy way to get this done over rooting but I don't even know if there is such a thing.
Any help or insight appreciated, thanks in advance for your time and efforts.

Change the s/w from AT&T ("U") to unlocked ("U1"). There's a thread in this forum with the files you need to download and instructions elsewhere on XDA. I changed my AT&T-branded Fold from U to U1 the day I set it up and have received two updates directly from Samsung. I'm currently on SK1 with the November security update. Leaving the phone running AT&T s/w prevents you from running call and messaging continuity and Hiya for caller ID and spam protection which are both pretty cool.

Thanks very much for the insight. I gave it a try and obviously didn't do something right but at least I know the solution. Now I just have to put all the pieces together. Thanks very much!

Thanks neighbor I manually updated to the latest. Hopefully I will get the next updates normally.
I successfully flashed U1 ASHA......no updates as of yet. Says I'm up to date but security patch is still August. Fingers crossed I catch the next one.
Do guys know if I do the flash to U1 unlocked. Does VZW wifi calling/texting work?

Ok, I read every page of this very long thread and am more confused than when I looked at the initial page. It has been several years since I have used odin to flash a phone. Would someone be kind enough to put a link to the latest U1 firmware and Odin download so I can get off to the right start?
I have AT&T Fold unlocked on the original firmware as I never received any OTA updates. Can I go straight to the latest one or do I need to do it in steps?
Much appreciated!
Edit: Just realized this was not posted on the long thread I was referring to, but still valid questions. There was another thread that was 14 pages long which I have been posting on as well.
I am having trouble getting the flash to work. Any assistance would be appreciated.
