If you check around it was suppose to be promised to tmobile a few days ago, so, knowing Verizon and the ungodly amount of bloat they shove down our throats and how they disable features because 'they' think they are not useful, i predict into February easy.

I miss the days when these RUUs leaked early. I'm not sure why that stopped.

If memory served me correct it was someone by the name of 'football' who leaked them. Maybe he got fired lolz.
I am considering jumping ship from HTC and getting a nexus 5x, I am just frustrated with 'Verizon Certified' stuff. it is usually a bunch of bloatware and then they go in and disable features. Besides HTC will only support the device for 2 years. I like the idea of the software update coming directly from Google; like Apple does it, zero carrier intervention is the way to go.
Not sure I know anyone with a nexus 5x to ask what they think.

No one knows. HTC promised it by the end of last year, but they only made that deadline for the international version. The US isn't a priority in Taiwan.
You can run Santod's NuSenSeveN if you're S-OFF. That's pretty close to what we'll get, minus bloatware. And it pretty much runs perfectly. I'm currently on Captain's GPE, which was made for Sprint but works just fine on Verizon.
I'm going to Project Fi in June, just as soon as my contract is up. To the day. I'm jumping to a 128GB 6P.

Check Best Buy. I heard they were carrying the 6P. Might have the 5X as well. No guarantees though. YouTube should have some videos. I like Marques Brownlee. His specialty is cameras (pro grade) so when he talks about a phone's camera, he knows what he's talking about. And he's well versed in the other aspects as well. Here's his review of the Nexus 5X.

Think backwards/sdrawkcab for a second.

Verizon... if you ever read any of this... HURRY UP

Well, the good news is sprint is getting the OTA. Perhaps that means we're closer than we thought....

I spoke too soon... S-OFF officially accomplished 2/15/16
I just wish I could get S-OFF on mine... It's proving to be ridiculously complicated, and all before a week ago I could've gotten the code from VZNWRLS, but I asked a day late & a dollar short

Looks like its the 16th.

AT&T One X Never Getting Official Bootloader Unlock?

http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/4/30...-unlock?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
Honestly, AT&T needs to cut the BS.
This is unacceptable.
Time for us devs to start working on an unlock... *sigh*
Well, I was going to wait around until Sunday, but this seals the deal, on my way to AT&T right now.

Oh come now, DG! You ran off from the Atrix 4g and we got it done! (I was one of the few who didn't get the2dcour in his phone ) Your work is grand. This device is deserving of the AAA treatment, just give it a couple weeks and see how it all plays out!

Just cancelled my pre-order. If and when they ever get around to giving us an unlock or the devs here crack it, I might reconsider. Until then, AT&T can kiss my ass.
Yeah this is just speculation based on something from htcs end. We haven't heard anything from att officially yet
Edit: obviously this is being done by att, by who is to say they won't unlock it after a month or so

Wow..it's like the Atrix all over again

I'm pretty sure they said the same thing regarding the Vivid at first. It eventually got unlocked.
I think its still too early to totally freak out of this. All we have is one very generic quote from HTC and nothing from ATT yet. I think it will get done soon enough, if not... well then we can freak out.

I think it's the perfect time. The Vivid community waited too long and they had to wait 2 months to get an unlock from HTC

You're always welcome back on the "real X" side. HTC UK said on the 2nd the graphics issues were identifed and an update specifically for them (not 1.29) was due soon.
It's kind of an interesting position people find themselves in. With the X you get: funky Nvidia related crap, 32GB of memory, ****ty battery life and an unlocked bootloader. With the XL you get a better SoC, 16GB of memory, LTE, better battery life, tons of AT&T "enhancements," and potentially no way to remove them if the bootloader stays locked. Pick your poison.

Yup. I agree that it's still possible we'll get an unlock (like the Vivid), but no amount of pressure is ever too much. The more we press AT&T and HTC, the better.
They don't really care about our community or our protests. But, like a little pest, they want us out of their hair. If we continue to be pests, they will get frustrated and cede to us.

[Q] Is 3.18.502.6 the latest AT&T software?

Selling my old One X to a buddy today, just want to make sure it's fully updated. I thought you guys got sense 5?

We are getting there. Looks like the first quarter of this year apparently.
All regions other than North America has Sense 5, they got it months ago. It is only AT&T, Telus and Rogers to go which is expected in the next few months.

AT&T always lags behind, so much so that some phones never get that last update. The Evita will likely never see the 4.3 update on AT&T.

What Nothing???

Any one getting this phone? Sure hope so it looks great. I have the Note 4 but looking to take it back on Thursday when the Edge comes out. Hope we can get root on this phone..

Same boat as you. Note 4 on hand ready to be sold. Waiting to see what happens on Thursday, but don't hold your breath..........If root is found for the Verizon Note 4, it should be simple to port to the Edge.

I plan on getting one tomorrow. I'm kind of nervous that Verizon has still not confirmed the launch. I think that our hopes for root depend on the efforts of the Note 4 with it's huge bounty. If that bounty gets some publicity I would imagine some Linux pros could get on it and get it done. And if they get it done one of our awesome devs could port it to the Edge. My fingers are crossed. :fingers-crossed:

From what I've read in the Note 4 forums, finding root on Lollipop is more likely than finding root on KitKat. Also, there is supposed to be a Developer Edition released soon. While this won't help root on the retail version, that is another possibility if you really want root.

Although I'm usually wary of others claiming "inside contact" knowledge, in this case I'll remain optimistic. The T-Mobile variant is overdue for an update. Absolutely nothing has come through yet since I purchased the phone on Oct 30th. I'm stock and no root/locked bootloader. At this point there's a laundry list of issues that need to be fixed including but not limited to YouTube freezing at 1440p playback and fingerprint scanner w/case on. My phone is paid outright and if T-Mobile doesn't push an update by the time the LG G5 specs are confirmed and the phone is released, AND I'm impressed, I'll have no problem selling this phone for it.

I believe the point was to related to the V10 -- articles from several sites reported that Feb 7th would mark the date that LG phones would start to receive Marshmallow. These phones included our V10 as well as the G4. Not all were going to be getting the update starting on that date, but that's the start date per these sites.

I suppose I agree, however being in the software design "Biz," and recognizing that missing Android 6 should not keep people up at night (understatement), it is far more important that LG gets it right, than if they are perceived as late. This is especially true with a phone is as highly customized as the V10. Also, I think that. 5.1.1 on the V10 is quite stable and fast overall. The upgrade promise was within 6 months of release, which would imply May at the latest. I would be OK with that- again, provided it is bug free, stable and fast.

Android N?

So HTC had said that this phone would always be updated to the latest version of Android 15 days after the nexus phones get them. It had been more than 15 days but still no Android N. Are they not going to update it?

Personally I've given up on HTC because of this phone. One of the major selling points was the update cycle. I'm now running CM on my device. HTC has always had terrible software anyway.
Well, One A9 works pretty well.
