Hi, I currently have 1.1 “JFv1.43 for UK RC9 firmware!”
I want to update to 1.5 (cupcake), so can someone please tell me which update I should use as most of the update are for US users?
Also after updating, does the phone retain root access?
Thank you,
Every firmware I have tried has worked fine for me in the UK. At the moment Haykuro's ADP1.5Hr1 with radio 2.22.19.26I is the best so far, really is totally perfect for me.
Make sure you wipe your phone.
Kinda on-topic question...
Why was JF 1.43 RC9 'UK' specifically marked for UK users?

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I knowledge on this subject is very limited, hence these questions.
By using “Haykuro's ADP1.5Hr1 with radio 2.22.19.26I” will the T–mobile internet work and whats the down side to wiping the phone and using unofficial 1.5?

You will loose all your settings and apps so will have to re-install them.

That’s not too bad. How about all my contacts and I forgot my gMail password and answer to my secret question?

UK APNs and UK Numbering format.
Both the ADP and the RC33 builds have the US numbering format, and as this isn't used in Europe it looks like rubbish.
I would recommend the Haykuro H build. This is the build I am most happy with.
You can use the "official" 1.5H build from haykuro aswell, if you want to have root and some other benefits but still retain the base build from HTC.

why are you talking in bold/big text?
if you've forgotten your password AND secret question then thats a bit silly really isnt it? You'll have to check with google if there is any way of recovering from that.
I have used every single 1.5 release that is available on this forum and I've settled with ADP 1.5H (look at my signature). I'm not installing anything else until JF will make his ADP 1.5 version, which he promised he would.
And please stop writing in large bold fonts -- it's childish.
Sorry for silly questions and bold text and I have now found my password for gMail.
Thanks guys for such prompt reply.
I think I’ll take Karolis and Zappza’s suggestion but can’t wait until JF version. Hope he will release it soon
ok this may be a silly question but if the main difference between RC9 and RC33 is the contacts phone number format, couldnt you simply flash over the rc33(or ADP 1.5) then copy over the uk app for contacts?

I've honestly didn't really check what the big differences are if any. But because RC9 was made for the UK, and it's a fact that UK and US versions of the phone differ a bit, I thought it will not hurt using UK firmware.
However, now I'm using ADP which is obviously American (can tell by the number formatting) and it works fine, so in reality who cares

I'm certain that they are exactly the same hardware.

I'm using the dudes cupcake .9 and I'm in the uk, I find it 100% for uk use, never noticed about the uk number format.

Yeah, Dude's version had normal number layout. It's ADP 1.5 that has dashes in wrong places.
Thanks guys for all your help/advise. I’ve installed it and so fat its running good, except Toggle Settings doesn’t work.
Hope JF will release 1.5 soon.
If it's any help, I've just put the JF 1.5 build onto a UK phone and everything looks hunky dory!
If you're using the H builds, then there will be no number format at all. all numbers are just presented as they are stored. i have numbers like +44 nnnnnn, 07nnnnnnn, (020)nnnnnnn all over the place. even though this probably indicates the programmer is lazy, it also makes it universal. and I love the camera app so much.
btw. I don't really think you can port the contacts app between system. I guess it's tightly coupled with the phone app.
So after doing the exchange rate the transformer in the uk comes out at 620usd so as im in the usa until the end of may im going to get one here before i leave the usa
Few quick question that im hoping people can answer..
1, does the charger have the usual 110 to 240v sticker on there?
2, if i cant key the keyboard addon over here im guessing the uk version of the keyboard would be the same?
3, can anyone think of any other compatability issues?
Cheers
Mike

1. I will answer this when i get home if nobody else has at that point
2. I cant imagine that they would be different, it would make no sense for them to retool the machines to make different tabs for different markets. If you have the language set correctly i dont see why it wouldnt work just fine. Come to think of it, im not even sure they differentiate(sp?) between us and uk english
3. nope, especially if you root when the method becomes available.

There are a few differences between UK and US keyboards, most notably the inclusion of the £ symbol on UK keyboards. I would imagine that these differences would be taken into consideration on the Eee Pads keyboard.
Regards,
Dave
only real problem i see for you OP, is that they've already sold out in the US :/a
Ive got until the end of may so a bit of time to find one
If i dont find one then so be it!
Good point about the keyboard but ill live with that.
Sticker says 100~240v

I checked with Asus Benelux earlier and dock and connection is generic so I can use a US-transformer in a dutch dock. I guess there's no reason why you couldn't with a uk-dock...
I just a got a dock with serial number starting with BOAKAS. I'm used to B50, B60, etc. Anyone else see these numbers?

I believe after B90 that's what is use

Yeah. It's in hex. The 1st 2 numbers after the B reflect the month the dock was manufactured in. Since we ain't got a single digit number that reflects 10, 11, or 12, they're using hex. A = 10, B=11, C=12, and so on and so forth.
If you can't deal with the emotional impact of having a hex serial number, you should get an ipad.
LOL, I kid I kid.

K and S are not hex.

K and S part were for something else. It's their system. Who knows what it's for. So far, we just know that the second number represents the month it was produced. It stands to reason that after 9, we have A.
O is not hex either, the first 2 chars are though, B=11 as in 20(11) and the A is 10 as in October. the OKAS will be something else entirely, probably mfg line identifier or maybe even hardware identifiers

well if the pattern is continuing, it's probably a zero, not an 'O'

No it is clearly an O for Oscar, look closely at it, or call asus and register for an RMA
Would some one please send me a link or tell me where to find one?
I don't think they've been released yet. They'll probably be released around the same time as the red and white wifi models, next month.

You do, or anyone here, know a specific date or even week for the white/red models? And does anyone know if they are confirmed for the US?
I don't think any dates have been set for 3G models. Expect red and white wifi sometime this June.

I've read this a bunch of places, however when I get in touch with Asus they say something like no release date info is available currently.
And from their youtube channel, Asusrog, there is a comment by Asus saying the red/white are not yet confirmed for the US.
good day guys! please help me with my problem.
i have recently bought a used nexus s. i have acquired this phone because i know that it uses the wolfson audio chip and i want to make it a music player by using the voodoo sound app (this app needs root access). my problem is i don't know what version it is hence i can't root it for fear of flashing the wrong kernel and bricking the phone. i'm in the philippines so if the phone was bought here, it must be an i9020 international version. besides, there are no korean apps or characters present. i took a picture of the sticker under the battery and saw texts in korean and then it says SHW-M200K at the end of the first line. i know that this is the code for the korean version. so is it right for me to assume that i have the korean version? but then again in the fourth line of the sticker i saw text that says FCC ID: A3LGTi9020. this is the code for the international version so i'm confused. when i checked the settings, about phone, it showed android version as 4.1.2 and baseband as XXKI1. lately i saw a korean version of the nexus s and the baseband starts with M200..... however, my phone's baseband is XXKI1. i'm really confused please help me.
here's the pic of the sticker under the battery:
Go to settings>about phone
The screenshot you provided shows korean characters but i can't be sure if it's the korean version unless you provide a screenshot of the settings>about phone.
thank you for the reply. here's the screenshot of about phone. only option missing is the System Updates above the screen.
it is the Korean version. M200.
100% sure.

Yep that's 100% for sure since it says shw-m200 on the sticker.
