Does anyone have the European 2.3.4 update.zip

Hey all,
I have an India model Sensation and I haven't received the OTA update as of yet. I called HTC and they advised that the update is not available in that region yet.
I've tried to use the Tmobile version but it doesn't work.
If any one has the European update file I'd be very grateful if they can post it somewhere I can download it.
No OTA update for myself either
Hi,
I have an unlocked/sim free retail box of the HTC Sensation which was given to my by HTC (long story). I live in Ireland and I have not received the OTA update yet either. My friend is on Vodafone IE and has got the software update, I assumed I would have had it pushed to my handset first but this has not been the case. I have tried keying in ' *#*#checkin#*#* ' to get any missed updates but nothing available yet. Does anyone else have this problem with an unlocked handset?
If possible as above I'd like the updatepackage.zip .
Lastly I'm on O2 IRL who don't carry the Sensation but I don't think that would matter as my handset is not branded to their network, any ideas on any other trouble shooting I could do?

S7 HELP! Phone changed imei, changed the model and cant connect to the network.

Good morning XDA,
I'm in desperate needing help, sorry but English is not my first language.
My brother bought a S7 G930F - Exynos that was GSM locked with one company here in Brazil, so he paid a guy to unlock it.
After getting the phone back I notice that the phone now shows G930FD, when I use *#06# to see the IMEI, shows two number, as if it was Dual SIM and both numbers are different that what is written in the back of the phone and the box and the rom seem to be 6.01 but with a lot of programs pre-installed.
So I downloaded the newest ZTO stock rom from SamMobile and flashed, now the phone is on 7.0 but can't connect to the network and still show the tow differents imei numbers.
Any tips or guidance and how can I Solve this?
Thanks, TggB!

Confusing galaxy s6 model

I have galaxy s6.I am so confused right now because my phone's settings says that the model of my phone is sm-g920f but when i boot into odin mode it says that my phone model is sm-g920p.I made a little research on that so i thought my original model is sm g920p and i am looking forward to update it from marshmallow to nouget.All stock roms in internet says different things like Region and 3 letter product code etc when i try to download it.I dont know if my phone is sprint version or not so is it okey if i install different region rom? with different product code?
I guess my phone is factory unlocked because i can use any type of sim card that used in my country (i live in asia)
Sorry English is my second language so i am struggling to write that (laughter)
Conclusion:My main question is---Can i flash any roms even if its spirint rom with 3 letter product code? or i must flash the exact rom that suits my device if so how can i find if my phone is verizon or spirint etc? By the way on my device there is no service provider name like spirint.The only word i got at the back of my phone is samsung.And the other few words that i have no idea about.
Please help me. :')

You can check the phone model by looking at the back of the battery.

How to figure out specifically which version of device I have?

I recently bought this tablet . I reside in Canada, and I was under the impression that this would be a Canada (XAC) model. However, when my idiot self forgot to toggle on Enable OEM unlock and restarted my tablet after flashing TWRP, I am faced with an issue because Im not sure which stock firmware to flash with Odin. My tablet says that FRP lock prevents it from entering custom recovery. I basically softbricked by device and Im trying to figure out which firmware to download.
It was running Marshmallow, so I figured I'd head over here and grab the 6.0.1 firmware.. only to be faced with a big middle finger by my device. Anyway, the Amazon listing says the model number is SM-T580NZKAXAR.. is that XAC?
Answer

I bumped into a locked firmware and I don't know what to do

Hi guys. This is my very first post here. I searched all over the internet for my problem but nothing. But it seemed that similar questions redirected me to this forum and that's why I decided to join.
So, all started this morning, when the colors of my Galaxy S7 Edge became faded, it was more noticeable on the black color. I tried to find a solution online and they suggested doing something under Developer Tools. The next problem and my big big mistake, was that I unchecked and rechecked something, that after restarting my phone, wouldn't let me enter, showing a text "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock". I searched for a solution and I saw that the only way was to install a new firmware.
I always thought my phone was SM-G935FD, because that is what it read on the "About device", but at the download screen it showed SM-G935W8. So I downloaded a firmware for the SM-G935W8. This is what it says also on the back of my phone, i noticed it just some minutes ago. So I went and I searched for W8 firmwares. I got the 6.0.1 from Canada and Bell carrier if I am not mistaken. I did the instalĺ. It started well, but after some updates it went from 6, to android 7 and it blocked my actual carrier. I can't make any phone calls.
Now I don't know what to do. I live in Albania and I purchased the phone here, it was a used one. I think at some point the phone was rooted because I had some very strange apps that has to do with rooting apparently (I never rooted a phone and I don't know much).
I want to know if there is a way to have an unlocked firmware. I don't even know what carrier was the phone on the first place.

Try flashing the SM G935FD, it probably had the G935FD firmware flashed on it so that it would work in your region, flashing G935FD again might make it work again.

Okay but, which version of FD? Because I search it and I see versions for countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Nigeria etc etc, and I am not sure if it will be a locked version again.

If it was rooted before, it was probably rooted so that some things could be modified to make it work in your country.
You said you flashed an android 6 firmware then you did an OTA update to android 7. That might be a problem because it might not be able to root again in order to make the modifications that were originally done to make it work in your country.
Here is a link to all the Russian firmware for SM G935FD, try the 6.0 firmware, try the various 6.0 firmwares and see if any of them work. After flashing the 6.0 firmware, if you get a notification saying there is an update available, DO NOT ACCEPT IT, keep the 6.0 android version. You will probably still be blocked by FRP, according to XDA rules, we can't help you bypass FRP, you'll have to figure that out yourself.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935FD/SER/
Once you get FRP straightened out, do some searches for:
"How to root SM G935FD"
Then you can work on getting it configured to work in your region on your carrier. Sometimes this involves flashing a separate modem(radio) file that has been extracted from a different firmware in order to make your radio work with your specific carrier. You might be in for more than you bargained for. I don't know which specific modifications you'll need or what files you'll need to make it work in your region, im just trying to give you an idea of what you need to look into.
You can try some of the Russian android forums, someone there might know how to make the device work in Albania. You might want to ask around in those forums first before you try anything, that way you won't waste time trying things that might not work. It will save you time if they know where you need to start and what you need.
