Hi all,
I have a one x on Vodafone Australia.
When I got it from Voda, it came with 4.01 software version 1.26.862.2 which isn't receiving any of the OTA updates (apparently because 862.2 was not released to the public so I must be mistaken even tho voda have seen it!?!)
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to update to .3 or any of the new software versions and where the RUU's may be found?
HTC and Voda have been as useful as pissing in the wind.
I used to fiddle with my old windows phone aswell as my blackberry but am new to Android so any help appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi Guys,
I have imported an HTC Desire from the UK and I live in Australia. I am currently useing my Optus 3g sim card and everything is working well. My concern is missing out on the FROYO 2.2 update as I am not sure if Optus will allow it. The main problem here in Australia is that the national carrrier Telstra has a monopoly on the desire for six months, (hence my import) and is a crap carrier. I don`t know if the ota update that comes through Telstra will have been mutilated with some of their software. Will there be a downloadable version available from HTC website? If so, how hard would it be for a novice like me to install it on my phone?
Thank you for your time and consideration of these questions.
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.

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.
Hello,
I was looking to buy an 8X and had a few questions before I do I was hoping someone could/would answer:
1. I was wondering if anyone can post suggestions of reputable retailers that sell the "HTC Windows Phone 8X Unlocked" that will work on AT&T with 4G LTE.
Please note I am looking for the official "Unlocked" version straight from HTC.
2. Is it possible to share the internet via Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/USB with the 8X to a PC or other device?
3. Can any one post highly recommended custom ROMs for the 8X?
I am coming from an older HTC HD2 using Dutty's ROMs and I am looking to see what I can do similar with the new 8X phone.
Thanks.
1. I bought it straight from Bell Aliant (Canadian AT&T). Hence, I couldn't recommend you any retailers.
2. Sure is! As far as I know, you can only do a Wifi Hotspot.
3. There's no custom ROMs for WP8. It's a Windows Phone, really not as open as Android. But really, you don't need a custom ROM. I was an Android fanboy before switching to Windows Phone. I loved the idea of customizing my phone and using the latest, fastest ROM. However, this phone is seriously the fastest phone I've ever used, without even having a custom ROM.
I bought an unlocked and unbranded Bell (Canada) 8X. It works 100% on ATT after a couple of tweaks like APN's. I believe that AT&T and Bell are the only two versions that will work with AT&T's LTE. Do some research and check out the exact model numbers before purchasing.

I have an HTC One m8 verizon but I'm currently using it overseas in a gsm/global area. Since the verizon software update section says that I can only update using cdma, I can't update the phone at all.
What are my options in order to update the firmware?
And if there is no way, what are my options to at least keep up with the newer android firmware? Sorry if this is a common question but I've just jumped onto android from an iphone 4s and everything is still alien to me.
Hi Guys.
I've got a sim-free Note3 and I'm using an O2 sim. Yesterday the Lollipop v5.0 was pushed to my device.
Does anyone know if that means that I'll get a further update to 5.01, 5.02, 5.x sometime soon?
Thanks.
Steve
What is your csc?

If its an O2 phone you get the O2 update .
Sim is nothing to do with updates .
O2 Android 5 has been available for weeks .
Thanks guys. I've no idea what 'csc' is?
It's not an O2 phone, it's sim-free, I just happen to use an O2 sim with it - does that make a difference?
It might have been available for weeks, but it only got pushed to my phone yesterday.
Thanks
Steve
I highly believe we will get Android M update, officially.
@OP: Just enjoy the 5.0 update. There won't be any 5.0.1 or 5.0.2, at least not very soon. Cause 5.0 has been available for a lot of countries for over two months now, and there is absolutely no scene of 5.0.1 or 2, so better believe that those won't come. I am just happy to see that Samsung finally pushed an update which got rid of that delay while clearing recent apps, however that was just release for one country, but I am sure a wider scale of the same will be released soon.
Thanks guys! That's just what I feared. Just shame that such a great phone lags behind other, older models. My wife's Galaxy S4 is on 5.01!
A phone has a number of codes ( as shown in Kies )
Basically if its a O2 supplied phone it will have an O2 code and O2 are the ones that update the firmware if they want to .
Generic non branded as in UK BTU may or may not be in advance or delayed .
Who gets the upgrade first is very varied and over the years its varied from country to country getting first releases . Usually the non branded gets released well before the branded stuff .
Thanks. I'd read that sim-free unbranded phones were always LAST to get updates. It's confusing!
