Hi
I have a UK Sim Free running 47.1A.16.20, I bought handset from Amazon but use Three sim. When will I get Pie OTA? ior is there a way of flashing without unlocking bootloader or affecting camera.
Thanks for your time
I too have the UK customized sim free version & using a three network sim. There is no Pie OTA update for our phone at this time, but you can keep an eye on the Xpericheck webpage for new updates. Hopefully it will arrive next week or early in the new year, but to be honest, i find Oreo perfectly fine :good:
Hi, i've also a xz1 compact UK sim free with the same version of Oreo and it's blocked by bootloader. Accordingly i don't put any different software with Flashtool without unlock the bootloader.
However i feel good with Oreo and, at the same, a lot of people complain battery drain and some other bug with Pie. It has not been optimized yet, then leave the curiosity for now because sooner or later Pie will arrive. ?
Ps: sorry if my english is not very well, but i'm italian

Now here's a strange thing! I have recently downloaded and upgraded my O2 XDA's firmware with the latest version from O2, filename Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162 (this was released circa mid-April 2006).
Whilst I was having a search both on this and other forums for unlocking software for the same model, I came across a link back to O2. Imagine my suprise when I found that the file was no longer available and had been replaced with a previous release!!!!
Well, the phone has been fairly reliable, needing perhaps just one reboot or less per day and it has been having very extensive use. I wondered why O2 would pull this release? Then I thought, hang-on, found a T-Mobile SIM and installed it.
Guess what??!!! (you've guessed, you've spoilt my news....)
The phone is unlocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I don't know of course was whether the XDA Exec phone was unlocked to start with, but certainly my previous XDA IIi WAS locked by O2.
Can anyone else confirm on their non-upgraded or upgraded device please?
Regards
David
As I understand it the o2 Execs sold in the UK are not locked. The T-Mobile and Orange variants ARE locked (worse luck - I have the T-Mo MDA Pro).
Yours will never have been locked.
Cheers,
Phil
What Unlock Code?
mmm, I think I'll sit down and have a nice mug of Ovaltine.
Yep, quite correct, it appears that o2 XDA Execs are supplied unlocked. Also the latest firmware IS still available, but there is an old link which only points to the older firmware.
Here's the new stuff:-

Hello,
with the help of a friend, who is currently in USA, I have ordered an US unlocked HTC 10 directly from the htc.com. I am yet to receive the phone.
As i am living in Europe, Bulgaria, i was wondering whether there will be any problems with the OTA updates - will I be able to get them ? Are there any difference between EU and US HTC 10s in that regard, and should I be concerned? I have looked all over the internet and couldn't find the answer to my question, sadly .
Another friend of mine has made the same procedure - bying a phone from the States, but with an Iphone 6s, and has no problems at all with carrier network in Bulgaria and OTA updates. Therefore i thing that I, as well, should not have any problems? or am I wrong?
If this is a duplicate theme, I am sorry - I could't find any.
Appreciate any help in advance.
i have htc 10 USA unlocked in Italy, for my phone no carrier network problem unlocked version have all lte band working, for ota i wait the first, why when i buy my htc 10 is arrived already updated at last version of software for now 1.80.617.1 a wait the ota of july 1.90.401
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?

Anyone have any idea or hear any news of when Android 8.1 will be pushed to UK Nokia 6.1? News online 4-5 days ago that it started rolling out OTA in India?
Nothing here on my UK model. Stuck on February security patch.
I got the 8.1 update with the april patch a few days ago (april 13rd) in france
Is yours a European spec model or from Asia?

Good to hear it is being pushed in Europe. Hopefully get it this week!
I got it from Carphone Warehouse here in the UK, they got exclusive rights to sell it. Model TA-1050.

Its annoying. Hopefully get it rolled out ASAP.
Mine is from Carphone Warehouse too. I've tried using a VPN to spoof that I'm in India and France but nothing is coming through.
I'm hoping that 8.1 will allow me to use the more recent Google Pixel camera APKs as I'm currently having to use an ancient one in order for HDR processing to work.

No joys?
My only criticism of the phone is the camera, like you say, hopefully the update will allow us to use the updated camera apps.

What's your model number? Mine says TA-1050
I've tried using a VPN to spoof being in France with no luck. I wonder if it's tied to my IMEI.
Any suggestions as to something else that might work would be good.

Mine is also TA-1043 version 5
According to https://nokiapoweruser.com/variants-nokia-7-plus-8-sirocco-6-plus-1-emerge-various-certifications/ there are 5 Nokia 6.1 variants : TA-1050, TA-1043, TA-1045, TA-1016, TA-1054
I bought a TA-1043 from amazon.de (shipped to ireland) and i have not gotten the 8.1 upgrade either....
Does anyone know what the difference between the various models (1043 / 1050) is?
I just got the TA-1043 in Hungary from Germany (Amazon) and got 8.1 on first boot.
Anyone with the TA-1050 model got this update yet? I'm not very impressed given my security patch is from the 1st Feb... It's nearly May.
Anyone know what model lauched in USA the other day? Be interesting to see if they also got the update out the box.
Carphone Warehouse have exclusivity in the UK - not sure if my model is 'their' brand and therefore has slowed updates. Bit annoying that the brand new Nokia 6 is behind the old Nokia 6 with updates though - kind of makes me wonder what the real point of Android One is.

Yeah I don't think that makes a difference. They are sim free/unlocked devices.
As an android one phone, the updates are pushed directly from Google OTA (supposedly). Just find it strange that it's still not pushed in the UK.

You don't happen to be with EE do you? I seen someone complaining about Nokia phones not receiving update due to EE... On an unlocked phone... I don't have another sim to try.

Considering i have a TA-1043 (same as a user above who also ordered off Amazon Germany but is based in hungary and received the update on first boot), i'm guessing the updates are just country limited. UK/Ireland seem to be down the pecking order.
Has anyone tried connecting over a VPN to do the update (or at least download it)?
I’ve tried. No luck.

Why is it c432 is getting all the support and updates and us on 732 are still stuck on 120 and June security patch?

Because you have a branded phone and your carrier releases the updates later than c432 which is stock no branded. Also the build number may differ from stock c432.

My phone is not branded and was purchased SIM free from the carphone warehouse in the UK.
Not on contract and no branding so that's not the reason.

you can rebrand your device to another region code. Search for "rebrand [device name]. This is dangerous territory so be sure you really know what you do unless you wanna have a very pretty paper weight.
New 163 firmware has appeared on Firmware Finder for those interested.
C782 still on .120
All updates for C782 go through operator approval even if you have bought a SIM free device from Carphone Warehouse. This process takes a long time and if one network rejects the update then will cause further delays.

What has it got to do with whatevef network your on? I have a sim free phone and can use multiple sims.
Are you effectively saying that no networks in the UK have approved the update for their devices and as such everyone is being delayed even though your device is not restricted by carrier bloatware and settings

Correct. C782 is a UK specific firmware that comes on all carrier provided handsets and through retailers like Carphone Warehouse. Huawei no longer provide carrier specific firmware.
C432 EU firmware does not go through any carrier approval, so updates are rolled out quicker. UK updates are provided by Huawei but they have to be approved by the major carriers. Three, Vodafone, EE, O2. Only when they approve firmware will Huawei make it available.
This is why the UK is still on B120 with B150 (build 3rd August) is pending approval. EU meanwhile has seen 3 major updates since B120.
If you have a bootloader unlock code, it's well worth changing your device to C432 so you can get updates quicker, and get away from the BS that plagues the UK update process.

Thanks for the full reply. I never thought that would be the case. I assumed I had purchased a completely 'clean' phone as such and would not have the update issue. In fairness the phone has been performing great but I don't like being left out of all the update goodness that comes along.
Does the c432 latest updates bring much in the way of improvements to the phone and would be worth changing over too?
