Someone clear something up for me.
Cids for branded devices...
When the updates released for the carrier. Are all cids in a folder or are the updates specific for that cid
For instance...I got tmob_005
German devices now have jellybean
Are all cids provided for in that update
Surely all Germans on t mobile don't have the same etc
Then if no I can restore my skydragon and get on with life till such time I can update.

Just saw your question in the updates thread. I don't have any firmware.zips to check.
As I understand things.
T-Mobile Germany send out the update to all Germans who bought their phone through them. Their cid is tmob**1 or whatever. They only send out updates for T-Mobile Germany ie cid tmob**1. This is of course normal as not all T-Mobiles are joined etc.
T-Mobile UK will send out the update for tmob005. So unless T-Mobile UK and Germany are the same the German firmware.zip won't work.
I'm sure the firmware.zip contains a .txt with a list a compatible cids so it can't be flashed in error.
T-Mobile and orange are now EE but the phones have different cids so can't have the update pushed together. This will always be unless they release a multi region firmware.zip.
Orange UK have released JellyBean, even if they have merged with T-Mobile we won't see any updates at the same time I'm sure. Meaning we will have to wait even longer than usual! Or until most of Orange customers have been updated.
After waiting so long I'm sure next year will be a different story as we'll all be with Samsung or LG nexus. Maybe not even T-Mobile at all!

Ok, so it appears some carriers have blocked the first update that does nothing to WP7.
To take a quote from WP7 support:
[Some Mobile Operators have the right to skip one update if they wish.
However, they can't skip the next one, which would be an acumulative update and would include the previous one.
So if your mobile operator decided to block this one, you will be getting the early March one (which will include the Feb one too)]
from Microsoft Windows Phone Forum
The concern is if they block an update that does nothing, what will they do in future?
So, lets try to isolate which ones havent updated yet - if you have a BRANDED handset that HAS OR HAS NOT been updated :
U
- name the Carrier/Branding, Handset Model and Country so others know.
As updates hit these phones, I will append the date of the update to the handset on the list.
No update
ATT LG Quantum
ATT Samsung Focus
ATT HTC Surround
T-Mobile HTC HD7 (US I assume)
T-Mobile Dell Venue Pro. (US I assume)
Telus LG Optimus 7
Telus HTC Surround
Orange HTC 7 Mozart
Orange (France)
SFR (France)
Telstra LG Optimus 7Q
Telstra HTC Mozart - UPDATE - Mid march maybe
Vodafone (Spanish) LG Optimus 7
Now released
O2 Branded HD7 Released 3/3
Vodafone Netherlands HTC 7 Trophy - Released 6/3
Vodafone (Australia) HTC Trophy - release - some other regions also 3/3
Optus - Released 3/3
Vodafone AU - released 3/3
There is also a list of carriers who are apparently confirmed to be pusing it out - but I would debate this to be totally accurate (as with the above list) as they too are sourcing their information from posts by people who may not necessarily know if their phone is Branded.

I think there was an article somewhere stating that this update is being rolled out in steps to ensure that it goes out smoothly.
i think it is quite probable that MS is also sort of dipping its toe in the water before it dives in with the first proper update.

Of course this is possible, but then they go post things like:

Is it actually T-Mobile branded firmware?

When I asked if TmoUSA was blocking the update, I got this response from WindowsPhoneSupport...
We don't have any information on that. If you still haven't received the update please be patient and check back later. ^EB

Thanks for that.
At this stage, I am just compliling a list of branded phones that have not been updated - as they get updated, I will ammend the list and append the date of the update next to the carrier.
I love that, Microsoft say they dont know if a carrier has blocked an update...

Well, in the support team's defense, they probably wouldn't be given that information, especially the Twitter branch of it... At least not this early. I think they're just tiering the updates, and maybe holding them off until they fix this Samsung issue...

You need to compile a list of people that HAVE received the update, not people that have not: Microsoft directly said the first update would NOT be rolled out to everyone.
Also, what's the big deal ? It's just a pre-emptive update, not something that actually matters.

Actually, it has the first batch of OEM software updates, so it does matter.
I am monitoring the update thread for those that have.
Samsung Focus with AT&T here and still without an update. I wish there was another way to get them.
Neither me or my mate have received updates on our T-Mobile Samsung Omnia 7s

I have a factory unlocked HOX that I bought from NewEgg. The phone's default language was Taiwan English and all the packaging also matches with that, so I guess it's an Asian market device. Now, as you can probably see, I'm in Canada, on Virgin Mobile. I'm also new to Android, coming from iOS. Something I had always heard about as a negative about the Android platform was that people had to not only wait for Google to release their OS updates (eg 4.0.4), and for their device manufacturer to create their OTA update (Android 4.0.4 plus Sense 4.x I guess), but also for the carrier to roll out the updates.
So my questions are simply, "what role does the carrier have in OTA updates?", "how does this process work when you have a factory unlocked device?", and "does the fact that my carrier does not carry/officially support the HOX change anything?"
I've already received OTA updates since I got the phone, so I know they work, I'm just interested in how the whole update system works in Android, and how my OTA update availability schedule will look.
Thanks

your phone is the international unlocked version. in fact its the taiwan version which in some and most cases, gets the update before the europen and asian N HK ones. If there is an update, you would be the first to receive it.

how would I possibly know whether I will be able to flash the recent JB roms? Is it safe to say that all the stock available now have the right CIDs?
I am jumping ship from Samsung and this seems like the sweet spot for Android right now, especially weighing bang for the buck. I hope this is not a noob question.
Thanks in advance to my new community hopefully.
CIDs are regional. You need a phone destined for Western Europe and unbranded.
Basically you'd need to buy an unbranded phone from within Europe to get one with a compatible CID.

So if I bought an unlocked "global" one from Negri for instance I assume that would suffice. Right? Link -- http://negrielectronics.com/htc-one-x-32gb-unlocked-black.html#.UIhOK8WHJkY
I wonder why it shows the old "Market" app instead of the new Play Store.
old market, on what rom?
[Cyanogenized HTC 1X]
I bought an M9 online from a webshop I've not dealt with before. They are quite new and had the best price, about 10+% below some other web shops that have been around longer.
The shop is in the Netherlands, but has indicated that the phone may have been produced by HTC for another European country. It's a new phone. But with market situation variability, they can get it cheaper elsewhere.
Is there anything I should check on delivery, to make sure I got "a good one". Not refurbished, not set to some exotic continent that always gets updates last...
Are there differences really in the m9 phones of EU markets? They have different SKU numbers.
Are there different RUU for different EU countries? I noticed only one
So even if (example) I get a phone for which the OTA update is postponed, I can upgrade with the EU RUU ? ... To android M.
I don't plan on rooting or custom Roms. I did that with my HTC Desire, and it was like a black hole for my limited free time. My One X+ is still stock, though I might try custom 5.1.1 after the M9 is set up...
Many thanks.

Just get an eu world wide edition (not carrier locked). It should take any nano sim straight out of the box.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
So after some uneventful conversations on the HTC live chat, I'm wondering if any of you have an unlocked HTC 10 from Australia and have the nougat update?

It started rolling out about a week and a half ago. Are you rooted? If so you won't get an OTA update. You'll need to update manually
I'm not. To my knowledge I have a stock ROM as I got this handset from JB.

Would this be an Optus OTA? To my knowledge, Telstra and Vodafone haven't released any comms about Nougat update for the HTC 10 while Optus was testing both the M9 and 10 earlier this month. M9 was definitely listed as released but 10 was still marked as being tested earlier this week.

As I understand it, JB HiFi was selling phones with either Optus or Vodafone firmware. Mine's from JB too and is on 1.95.710.3 which I understand to be the Vodafone version.
Optus update status states 'Testing Android 7.0 update and VoLTE – completion expected late February':
https://yescrowd.optus.com.au/t5/Blog/Android-Software-Updates-16-02-2017/ba-p/198463
UPDATE: Actually, Vodafone has HTC 10 listed as well as "Testing complete, awaiting feedback from HTC", hopefully that doesn't mean a long wait.
http://community.vodafone.com.au/t5...-2017-Software-Update-Weekly-Wrap/td-p/424073
JB sold an unlocked handset which I am with on the Optus network. I am on 1.95.710.3 as well. I was under the impression that HTC sends the software to unlocked devices first specifically, and then to carriers who then distribute it for the optus devices. Would I be correct in assuming that?

That's usually the case though I'm not entirely sure about the nature of our firmware (mine's the same as yours) - is it a true unbranded retail or an unlocked carrier version? I know the Moto Razr I had in the past was an unlocked Vodafone handset.

Im not sure. I would be more inclined to go unbranded retail but again, Im not certain.
Bump.
My HTC 10 is right now in the process of downloading 2.42.710.2 (1.19Gb) OTA. It's this one:
http://ausdroid.net/2017/02/27/nougat-update-htc-10-now-rolling-vodafone-customers/
Got it as well!
Installed here too.. however no live wallpapers. I personally hate all the default graphics on the HTC10 so in MM had a Sony live wallpaper which I liked.
Anyone else here have issues with live wallpapers?
