Android 6.0.1 for the HTC HTV31

Edit: I can't change title, but this is about the japanese rom.
Heey guys!
Today I was busy with updating my phone and trying to get OTA updates. I actually want to keep the Japanese rom and don't want to switch to the Taiwanese rom.
When I was searching again when Android Marshmallow would arrive on the Japanese version. I found this article: http://sumahoinfo.com/android-htc-desire-eye-desire-626-yotei-buttefly-htv31-htl26-au
It was already announced that the update would come to the device. But I couldn't find any more information regarding when. But this article could change that.
In the article there is a leaked update schedule, and the Butterfly 3 is present. It states that they skip Android 6.0.0 and will release the 6.0.1 update in Q1 of 2016.
But right there is the problem. You can't tell if they mean the Q1 which starts at January. Or the fiscal Q1 which starts in April. Let's hope it's the latter one, as that quarter will run from April till July. And the Update would then be released this month or next month. If that happens we could see more features for the device. As we know that NFC works on the Japanese rom. But we would than also get all the new features Android Marshmallow brings us.
Ofcourse, if you don't use NFC at all, you could stay on the Taiwanese rom and enjoy Android Marshmallow already. But as I said, for those who want to stay on the Japanese rom, this could bring some nice features to your device.

I have non rooted, HTV31, unlocked by KDDI Japan, still in the original box. I didn't receive any marshmallow, the software version I have is 1.11.970.1 and I don't get any updates for months.
On the other hand, on my another HTV31 which I converted to Taiwanese ROM there is marshmallow available but it says that it doesn't want to do OTA because phone is modified.
KDDI is so slow... I wish someone makes ROM with Marshmallow and fixed messaging and NFC and TV features working properly.... HTC will never do it; hate it.

Some interesting things are going on at au.
Back in March we got an update on the update schedule for some devices.
The HTC HTV31 was also listed together with some Samsung, Sony and some other less known phones.
But this month(August 2016) some devices on that list received an update to Android OS 6.0.
The devices that received an update are:
- TORQUE G02
- AQUOS SERIE SHV32
- Galaxy A8 SCV32
It appears that some other devices on that list already received an update back in June and July.
That leaves us with only 4 devices left to update.
So we could start expecting an update for the HTC HTV31 at the end of this month or next month.

Update question

Hi everyone, just sold my S7 and got brand new HTC 10.
It's 32GB Carbon Grey, serial FA68N******, model is made in Taiwan, EU UK.
Seems like the latest update I have available OTA is August Security patch, software no 1.95.401.4. MM 6.0.1. ofc
Am I supposed to have any more of this, maybe even a Nougat?

I do have US version which got Android N at the end of November. HTC was supposed to make N available for EU a week ago, but halted the roll out because of some issues and should resume in couple of weeks or so.

Z5P Dual (E6883) 1299-6237 Update to 7.0

Hello,
Been waiting for update to Android 7.0 since the news been spread on XperiaBlog and XDA, but still no official release for 1299-6237 (HK Version). Hence, a question arise: Are there additional certifications that apply to HK ROM version that it takes so long for an update, or is there is another reason for it? Also, any idea when to expect the update then? Thanks for help in advance!

you can take the Indonesia or India version... since HK , the last update was .305 / oct2016 ... i am not sure why the stopped pushing for HK

Thanks for reply! I know I can manually flash it, but to be honest, with device like this I cannot be bothered (and frankly not many people do, as pretty much no development going on). I am more reliant on OTA or Companion updates as I do not want to lose my data. Hence it owuld be nice to know if someone would have an explanation for such nonsence really.

I was in the same boat as you. I bought my Z5p dual off of Amazon and received an HK version. I've been waiting for a Nougat update and could wait no longer. I updated using the russian update file and can confim that everything works and no bugs to report. Also no data was lost and my phone language remained in English post update. Should you change your mind...
But to contribute to your question, according to the Experia blog there appears to be a relatively big update coming in April to fix a couple of the Nougat issues with sound some users were reporting. That could be why they halted rollouts again.

update locked to july 2018

Hi everyone. in the last days I spent a bit of time to try to understand why my samsung galaxy s9 didn't received the adroid pie update, and from this search I found just more doubts. INFO: I have an S9 dual sim coral blue, bought by an italian online shop in october 2018, model code SM-G960F, android version 8.0.0.
basically, no one can understand if my device is italian or german (most of the people I talk with says german), and the update are locked to july 2018. I never received an update for my device, neither a security patch, and now that more than one month was past by the official italian pie release, I'm worried about this. I'm asking everywhere to try to understand why I don't receive update and how can I do to fix this problem, but no one can answer to me. I hope someone here knows the solution.
thanks in advance to everyone.

No Software update since Feb 2019?

Hi everyone,
I am not sure if some of you had a similar issue, but I have not received any update for my A50 purchased in April 2019.
The phone was bought in Italy but I am based in the UK. It has never received an OTA update either over the UK network or over the ITA network. Also no update is available via Smart Switch.

I am aware that a number of updates were released this year, so I wanted to ask you guys if any of you had the same experience as me, and if there is a way to receive them on my unit.
Thanks all

This is probably because of your device's original country does not receive the updates. The only real solution is install another firmware that has got updates.

I bought the device on March 25, the day of its launch in the Czech Republic. Since then, it has received six updates, mostly with major improvements in functionality. Updating the device firmware is therefore very important! In your case, I would try to install "Smart Switch" on my computer and update my phone with it. If you are unsuccessful, please contact Samsung support in your country.

I contacted Samsung support and they told me to wait, but it's November and I've never received a single update yet. Nothing on Smart Switch either.
Shall I look for manually flash a firmware? Do you have any experience with it in terms of future OTA updates?
Thanks again

i guess you could download rom from sammobile(official rom) and flash with odin. Just be careful to download PROPER version for your samsung model..
