This is the 2nd time that tmobile took down the HTC10 from their store, 1st time they said it was accidental and will return, well it did, but now it's gone for good according to Tmonews.com
What does this mean for future HTC updates? Will there still be "testing" phases prior to release on HTC 10 android updates?
Thoughts?
Thanks.
T-Mobile will probably keep supporting the 10 until Android Nougat, at least that's what I'm hoping. Im running the Unlocked US rom now cause I'm not going to sit around to wait for T-Mobile updates.

The wait is finally over! According to HTC’s Plurk account, the Android 2.1 upgrade for the GSM HTC Hero will start hitting handsets some time tomorrow, June 4th. Over the past month, HTC has been busy rolling out Android 2.1 to the CDMA variants of their handsets in the U.S. market (Droid Eris and Sprint Hero).
While the announcement from HTC may bring a huge sigh of relief to Hero owners, we would like to stress that there is no guarantee that the Android 2.1 upgrade will be making its way to Hero owners in Europe. We’ll be keeping a close eye on this story for the next day or so and keep you updated if we start getting official update reports form around the globe.
On June 4, 2010 to open up the wireless software update, the main update function as follows: Android 2.1 operating system upgrade!
System will continue to send updates prompt, when you receive a system prompt as long as you can by clicking Download or wireless network connection 3G/GPRS way to complete your phone system updates. Note: We recommend you to choose to have free Wi-Fi environment, download the update. If you are currently using 3G network, the download may have to pay the additional cost carriers, please make sure to have unlimited Internet access rates apply for rentals before use.

It took them their time but it has arrived for the Hero.
Now we can only hope it doesn't take them six months to release the 2.2 update for the Desire >_>
I previously owned a Hero... and I really hope that the Desire will get updates faster!
Hi everyone, my friends stock Desire HD is still on Android 2.2. When she looks for updates via her phone it says its up to date when its clearly not. The phone was bought outright and is sim-lock free and unbranded.
Is there anyway to make the phone update to the latest official Desire HD rom without rooting?
No, eventually the HTC servers will pickup on the phone... OTA is unpredictable when it comes to the company, give it a week... Or just call HTC and they could send to the phone. Its worth a try.

Google release the update to HTC, then HTC to your carrier and your carrier to you.
The weakest link being your carrier. If it hasn't happened by now, it probably wont. HTC have released to many new models for the carriers to keep up with.
It may be worthwhile contacting the carrier.

Thanks for the replies. The carrier shouldn't be an issue since the device was bought outright without any branding so the updates should come directly from HTC. The support page on HTC website suggests a soft reset. I think my friend should just call HTC and see what they can do. Thanks!

Just root. I worried about OTA a lot before rooting, when will it come, will it ever etc..
couldn't agree more, after rooting i have fallen in love with my phone all over again
Okay this is kind of weird because I know T-Mobile has not rolled out the update. In fact I believe they are completely refusing to do it to force people to resort to upgrading phones. But I got this system update on my phone this morning and I am wondering if anybody has gotten it as well or has any explanation. I haven't downloaded it yet.
T-Mobile SGH-M919. Weird because it says the GPE
it has been said before if you would have searched, but it is a patch for the stagefright vulnerability and that is about it.

GPe? That's odd, unless you're running a custom ROM

Which rom where you using when you get this message?
GPE has already been updated to 5.1, so even if that is LP it's still older than current.
I have been calling TMOBILE (US) every week since May to find out where the LOLLIPOP UPGRADE is for my SGH-M919 ((Galaxy S4) and finally about 3 weeks ago I got them to confess that SAMSUNG HAD GIVEN THEM TO UPDATE FOR THIS PHONE - BUT, THEY WERE NOT GOING TO RELEASE IT.
When I asked why, I was given the B***S*** answer that there were known bugs and all other providers had problems with it - I said they were corrected in the 5.01, and 5.1 versions - he then basically (without saying it) stated they want people to buy newer devices.
I told him I OWN MY DEVICE, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, and I WILL ROOT IT AND PUT A CUSTOM ROM ON IT.
I was told, you will void your warranty.....I rolled with laughter and said...it is over 2 years old - THERE IS NO F***ING WARRANTY anymore...and I hung up.

Yet another great example of why I jumped ship for Cricket. Tmo does all this uncarrier crap because they say they care about the consumer, but when it's all on the table they're just like Verizon or Sprint or AT&T. If you're on older hardware, then they don't care about you. You're a number that they added years ago, and all that matters are the numbers they'll add today and tomorrow.
I'm still rockin' my S4 after all this time. When I'm ready to upgrade, I'll be buying my phone unlocked and ready to go with Cricket. Now that the new Nexus devices are on their way, I'm just going to save up and splurge on the Nexus 6P and not have to worry about bull**** carriers screwing me on updates and security fixes.
I buy T-Mo phones because they traditionally have unlocked bootloaders, so I can flash whatever ROM I like. ATT, and I believe Cricket, tends to use phones where the bootloader is locked down tightly. I like the open Nexus platform and am also considering one in the future...
So I was having an issue with upload speeds in another thread and one of the fine people of this forum informed me to check my build number because it might be fixed with the newest build. I checked and I was on the build that was shipped with the phone. I've had the phone since launch day and never received the update.
Well here's the kicker, I input a T-Mobile SIM in the Verizon phone from initial boot. I have not received an update since I turned on the phone 4 days ago and everyone has stated the newest update should come down within a few minutes on being turned on. I put a Verizon SIM in the phone and what do you know, the update came right down.
So I pose this question to the more informed than I am... Is the Verizon bootloader technically blocking updates to other carriers? Maybe you need to get the newest update and activate it on Verizon first then it will flow and act as unlocked?
I thought this would be important to the many who purchased from Verizon because of availability.
Others have reported getting updates with tmo and at&t sims already in other threads. ymmv
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.
