Got my phone on April 29th only received one update so far which was on launch day. Im on 1.21.666.1
I was wondering if i can use the htc unlocked NA RUU from their website to upgrade my firmware?
Contacted bell about the update they have no clue...i dont think they are selling well in Canada...i dont think they are taking the firmware update seriously so i was looking at other options.
I would really appreciate it if someone can help me
Thank You

Until rogers and telus picks up this phone, updates are going to be slow. I heard they might in june but from the slow sales there's a possibility they won't.

Agreed. A price drop would be nice too. Telus is the quickest so far with the updates. I'm personally waiting for the htc nexus hopefully killer hardware and software at a reasonable price.

Hi how was the 1.53 update for you... I'm sceptical sometimes of updates... So just wondering if you feel your phone is better performance after installing the update or not? Appreciate any opinion on this thanks!

It was just listed as an HTC Update, the next Firmware number is 2250.21.51004.531. I know when I updated to the internet sharing firmware it was 51003.

I got that Firmware with the internet sharing update before Christmas
Wow T-Mobile gets the internet sharing update while Verizon still sucks, I think this year will be the year I switch to T-Mobile, they just have more choices and are way cheaper, Verizon can keep their crapy line up of gay ass Android phones.

I got the 003 one with the internet sharing lol. I guess my phone installed the wrong update? I mean, you would think with the numerous times I connected my phone from November til now it would have picked it up before...

given how poor tmo coverage is, they better have something to compensate. good news is the tmo-att roaming agreement. at least in some areas you can roam att for free.
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.

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.

No harm in trying everthing else fails
Lets get o2 on @BBCWatchdog here is my tweet best i could think off please feel free to add ur own #O2 is holding back vital updates 4 #HTCONEX other networks have released them as they are bug updates for battery improvements
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.
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 :/
Hi all,
I've never purchased a Unlocked Flagship and This might be a silly question..
I'm thinking about purchasing the Device from Carphonewarehouse(In the UK), Which are Sim-Free.
If I insert my sim from G2 (Which I have on contract), Would they still control OTAs for the G4?
Or would I get updates (Almost) instantly as they roll out from LG?
Sorry for the silly question!
Regards,
J.
Hi
No question is silly. You would get updates as they are rolled out by LG rather than a carrier specific update because the update will be linked to your phone rather than you carrier which would be the case if you had bought the phone as part of a contract
Hope that helps
Nik

That's superb, Thank you both for the answers!
I've only ever had Contract upgrades so I didn't know how the updates worked with Unlocked ones.
Even contract phones(except iPhone) are simfree from Carphone Warehouse.
I just got my G4 from there today.
