[Q] Tmobile Omnia 7 7004 question

Hi have a uk t-mobile samsung omnia 7 with the original firmware version 7004.
I have been waiting patiently for the update but it is still in a testing stage with t-mobile and they are clearly in no rush to release it.
I have the phone unlocked with chevron,
can anyone tell me whats the best way to get the new firmwares and if there are any downsides that anyone has experienced in upgrading through a non official way.
Also any pointers on how to keep the phone unlocked after the update would be appreciated.
I've looked through the forums but there is way too much information and methods, and I cant find anything specific for my phone.
Thanks for any advice

Ez, I had the same firmware as you, I got fed up of waiting so I just flashed the I8700 XEN I8700XENJK1 rom from samfirmware. I then use the Hungary trick to get Nodo which worked 1st time for me. My phone now runs like a dream, no lag on the market, games load fast etc.... I cant believe T-Mobile are still holding onto it, wankers!!!
Only downside was having to change the regions etc to the uk which took about 30 secs.
Omnia 7 T-Mobile UK

Hi I did the reg key trick with the VPN and worked for me. Plus my phones still dev unlocked on nodo. Yeah I agree about t-mobile they are taking the piss and blaming MS for there failure.

@antony: Which method did you use? The Data connection one or the WiFi?
The Omnia 7 UK has a 3G toggle as well. Whenever I try either of the two methods above, it never works. Maybe you can explain how you did it since it's applicable to our devices specifically?

Hi Antony
Is there a thread about the reg key trick with a vpn?
cheers dude.

[Q] Will uk vodafone be locked?

Ie Could I buy sim free and put O2 sim in it??

You won't be able to buy simfree from Vodafone, but once it's out at places like Amazon, you will be able too put any SIM card in you want, yes.

It won't be sim locked. they say none of their phones are.

I thought all of Vodafone's devices were locked. Great news if it's unlocked.

I bought my HD2 directly from the Vodafone UK website about 18 months ago and it's unlocked.

But my DHD is locked to t-mobile

Vodafone haven't locked Contract phones for years now. PAYG however...

I ordered mine from Vodafone today, are we expecting this to be a standard version or a Vodafone infected version.

Vodafone rom, with their super fast update schedule- not. Without doubt.
Thanks for reminding me on that one. Im definately waiting till when I return from honeymoon in mid june. If I buy it, definately getting it sim free with maybe a 3 mobile ayce sim. Vodafone lag way behind official updates.

Given the speed it's coming out, I kind of expect a stock ROM.

Having said that mate, Vodafone have an EU release clause with HTC, so when an update goes live in the EU, it goes live in the UK too. Not like other carries. Vodafone got the official GB release before anyone else on the DHD

I'm also betting on them sticking to stock ROM to get the initial batch out as early as possible.
Even if it's a branded ROM I won't mind too much as Vodafone have recently been getting HTC ROM updates out before unbranded updates (as crazy as that sounds) and their bloatware seems to be reduced as of late too.

The only 'bloatware' my original Vodafone HTC Magic had was a Vodafone Live! app, which only ran if you wanted to use it.

If my new Sensation arrives with no bloatware, I will make an effort to thank them on the Vodafone eforum. I like to let them know I appreciate it

Given how fast we are getting them, I bet they will just be direct from HTC to the customers! I hope so at least!

Re: rom updates. Can only go off when hd2 got released. We had to wait a fair bit for updates. Cant comment on other handsets. Sorry

Silly question perhaps, but even if the vodafone handset is unlocked, will we still have to wait for vodafone to release updates or will we get them straight from HTC?

Pretty sure if this is the case then the updates will come straight from HTC, but I'm no expert.

With the Desire, it had to come from Vodafone unless you debrand it and flash a WWE RUU via Goldcard. The initial batch were unbranded though. There was much noise made when Vodafone delayed the Froyo update and initially released firmware which had a branded splash screen and various other useless bits and pieces (eg links to dating services, Vodafone Live, etc etc). It was then retracted and an unbranded Froyo was subsequently released. This whole fiasco was even reported on TechRadar UK
I think Vodafone pay monthly phones are all unlocked. It says so on their website. If I remember correctly, their phones did used to be locked but you could request an unlock code once your contract was up (or I think pay a small fee). The only exception was the Blackberry Storm, but let's not reopen old wounds I think I threw mine hard into a brick wall

Who didn't get Tango update yet?

Hi all! So, I have an Omnia 7 under Vodafone Italy and I didn't get the update yet. Still no reliable answers from them.
Who else is without Tango? What phone do you have? Which brand do you have?

HTC Trophy under Vodafone Portugal... they kept delaying the subject, but eventually told us the patch was "tested and denied" due to "serious problems in the wifi system". Its just BS,the usual from Vodafone Portugal.

I already knew that. I read it in the VOD-Portugal forum, and it's quite annoying, since VOD-IT is behaving the same :/

HTC Arrive users like myself didn't and won't thanks to the fantastic support from Sprint...

Will an Unlocked T mobile One S get OTA directly from HTC?

Hi Guys,
I tried searching the web for this but just couldn't find a concrete answer.
Do carrier related phones still depend on the carrier for OTA updates when unlocked or they receive timely updates directly from the manufacturer?
I am buying an Unlocked T mobile One S here in India obviously because of the superior S4 processor. I read in the forums that the T Mobile Jelly Bean update really messes up the battery life. Hence I was wondering if even I would have the same problem.
So my question is, will my phone in India also get the T Mobile update or the HTC one. Also in the future, would it be receiving all OTA updates from HTC?

No

T-Mobile does not send the file themselves. Your CID, which is probably T-MOB010, is used to decide whether to give you world-wide, unbranded updates or something else. Yours will get the update from T-Mobile, but it will be released from HTC's servers

If you mean a SIM unlocked T-Mobile HTC One S, then yes, it will still receive OTA updates. Mine is SIM unlocked and still got the JB update.

Yes, would the unlocked T Mobile HTC one S have to wait for T Mobile JB update as per United States or since I am using it on Vodafone and in India, it would get the JB update as and when any other HTC One S in India gets it?
Glad if you could help.
Thanks.

Yes you have to wait as T-Mobile modify ota update and test again over there network then release it
It lags 2-3 months

My opinion try more & you will find same as mine don't buy T-Mobile version when you update them they can be lock again 3g net frequency problem also there
