update baseband?

is it possible to update baseband on this phone?
my phone was shipped with 0.15 and i think thats why i've been having the wifi issues. (rebooting nonstop anytime i connect to wifi)

Is there a newer version than 0.15 ?? I havent seen it..
And at the moment its not possible to flash radios with S-ON it can brick your phone. If you get it via an OTA update you will be ok

all the T-MO demo units we have in my store are on 0.16
i've been tempted to exchange it, btu since it's been rooted i'm holding back because i dont want to pay the out of warranty fee.

There has been at least 1 update but I think it went out before the phone launched. I picked up my phone on launch day with a 0.16 base band. Another user on this forum reported getting an OTA to the latest (current) build of 1.53.531.16 which I assume also updated the base band to 0.16
You could try a manual check in by dialing *#*#2342546#*#* in case your wondering 242546 spells "checkin"

Unfortunately i'm not on the stock ROM anymore so that isn't an option.
After doing a bit of research, it seems like the only way to get the baseband update would be for me to somehow revert to the prerelease TMO ROM, then wait for the OTA that was sent out to the prerelease devices which has the baseband update included.
Which is basically impossible, because no one is going to be running that prerelease ROM right now.
So i'm basically clueless at this point. probably just going to see if i can warranty swap it through HTC and hope they don't care about the bootloader being tampered.
Any input from anyone is definitely appreciated!

thanks man i saw that! but i need something similar for the t-mo US ROM.
i'd have to find a prerelease ROM, then wait for the OTA to the release version.

Once the base band is updated you could flash a stock rom or even restore your own personal back up. The international phones use the same chips as the TMOUS phones. How come you don't want to update it if your having problems?

I definitely want to update, but I doubt i'll receive the OTA to update the baseband since i'm on TMO US..
Looking through the thread looks like no US people have tried. I might give it a shot just for kicks. Hopefully it works.
edit - it looks like it definitely won't work if you're on TMO US, because the update has not been pushed out through TMO's servers. The update comes from the carriers, not HTC directly.

anyway problem solved.
ended up getting a replacement from HTC. should be fine.
edit - LOL the replacement came with 0.15 baseband and the kernel from march 29th. retail release versions came with a april 6th kernel and 0.16 baseband.
now i'm clueless. just wait a couple weeks and maybe process another exchange.

haha well my replacement phone came....
still had the same 0.15 baseband as the original pre-release version.
i assumed the replacement would be updated, apparently i was wrong. I might just hang onto this one for a month or so without rooting or unlocking the baseband just in hopes they push an OTA to update my baseband.

can someone teach me how to upgrade my baseband to .15

[Q] How do we prep for 4.3 on Verizon?

Verizon is teasing an October OTA update to 4.3 for our Galaxy S3s. I am on rooted and unlocked, stock 4.1.2, VRBMB1 with TWRP 2.6.3.0. I am hoping to see a rooted, unlocked version available here shortly after the 4.3 OTA releases. I think i am not the only one in this boat. Can someone outline the steps I would need to either, 1.) accept the OTA, or 2.) flash a pre-rooted version, if and when it appears here? Thanks

I'd recommend finding a comfortable place to sit and wait because you will probably be there a looong time.

Link to these teasers please?
Also, the update (if said update exists) could potentially lock down the bootloader in similar fashion to the S4 or Note II so unfortunately outlining steps to reroot and unlock won't help you in the event this occurs. The existing exploits definitely support the existing firmware but saying anything more would be irresponsible.

That's sound advice there. I'm not OTAing nothing until the devs say it's okay or they make a flashable zip.

Ahh, there's no mention of an update specifically for Verizon. When OEMs state an update for phone models and do no specify the exact ones, they always mean their international variants. International varants are not tied to carriers and therefore do not need to go through a certification process before being pushed to handsets. If there's an ota coming at all for any US variant, it would't be on Verizon for another few months. It would foreseeably go T-Mobile/Sprint then AT&T/Verizon a month or two later.
Also, any site that has as many grammatical or syntax errors for sentence structure should not be viewed as a reliable source. Try here for example, the info is more clearly detailed and presented.

Yeah wouldn't hold my breathe, If Samsung release in Oct the soonest verizon could/would roll anything out would be jan/feb and pretty sure looking at past performance from verizon the s3 will reach end of life around the same time. meaning no update

I am reaping the benefit of a lot of generous, and smart, people who have kept my Moto Xoom alive and kicking way past what most would consider it's end of life. One of the reasons I chose the S3 was because of the large numbers that were sold. I assumed that the community support would outstrip any "official" support from either Samsung or Verizon. What are chances that someone will cobble together a great 4.3 ROM for the i535, after the release of 4.3 by Samsung?

Normally I'd agree with you whole heartedly but as PrDog stated they want us to buy that watch. So it just might be sooner than we think.

I did the same thing as you, I looked for the word "verizon" and didn't find it ! Heh, I'm running Android 4.3 on my S3 already, albeit w/o Touchwiz....

For reasons beyond my knowledge level, ports from international versions of the S3 don't get done for the VZW, ATT, and so on variants of the S3. I know the non-US models have a different CPU (and chipset ?) so that could be the reason. Proprietary drivers and libraries that hook into the kernel are NOT "free" or open-source. It's not as simple as just re-compiling the Samsung-released kernel as important pieces of the puzzle are missing and it won't work without those pieces....

[Q] At&t Phone abroad

Hi, I have a serious question. I recently bought my LG G3 D850 AT&T version and I'm loving it. I rooted it and removed AT&T bloatware. I was wondering will I still get OTA update of lollipop? One more thing I don't live in the States, would I get the OTA through Google or AT&T or do I have to manually install it ? . Thanks

Yes you will still get lollipop, if you use ota you will lose root and the bloat will come back, also the ota will come through att on your phone, if you want lollipop now i recommend installing CM12, i did and i love it

Thanks so it really doesn't matter if I live in states or in Asia ? Still will get the OTA update through AT&T? I dont have AT&T contract I think this phone was unlocked when I bought it. CM 12 is stable ? can you pls give me the direct link for it ? Or should I wait for the OTA from AT&T (which is still hard to believe that will get the update from them since I live in Asia not the USA). Thanks

Its got some bugs, id wait until theyre sorted out, and since you live in Asia id recommend flashing Cloudy G3 as its based off the international rom, and soon he should update it to lollipop, also i wouldnt flash the ota from ATT as you could lose root and most important Bump,

Nougat L09C636B361 OTA Rolling Out (Australia)

Hey guys,
If anyone's interested, my P9 just received the OTA for L09C636B361. This is on an unlocked/unbranded Australian handset. Obviously, I've immediately started the download...
Time to start mashing that "Check for Updates" button if you're in Australia I guess

Excited! Time to spam the update button

Nothing yet

Might want to check tru HiCare , and go through the early adopters button ...

Still nothing, sure I'll get something eventually..

i have the l09c34b140 and i live in australia (got it from virgin mobile australia on plan). is there anyway for me to convert to yours?

I am on EVA-L09C34B140 as well, heres hoping that we will get some Nougat goodness soon. I got Android 7 running no my old S4 and cant wait till the P9 officially gets an update.

I'm on the same EVA-L09C34B140 and also nothing yet. I bought my P9 outright, but it came with an annoying Optus boot and shutdown screen that I was hoping be rid of with an update, although I'm not too sure that'll be the case.

L09C34 is the Optus version, I got mine outright as well. I dont understand why Huawei will make an Australian model for Optus, a different model for Vodaphone and a unbranded model. They should of just made one model for all of Australia and a tool for carriers to put in their own boot animations.
Chances are, we will not get an update till Optus push through an update for this model. The model the OP has (L09C636), probably has his update pushed through by Huawei directly.

Ah, figures - a familiar story. I had the same issue with my old SG Note 2 which would have been waiting ages for an AU update via Telstra, but rooting it with a Nordic ROM saved me 18 months of waiting. I guess I have to suffer the Optus boot screen post-update though.

dyu reckon we should debrand and just install the unbranded model (if possible) or do we just idle :/

damn it just flashed to B320

If I could practice on someone else's Optus-tainted P9 first I'd then give it a go on mine
The process appears rather more convoluted than my previous Android ROM flashing experience. I think I might wait a bit longer.

i'm on exactly the same firmware( C636B190, which is updated from B168 through OTA) as the OP had before receiving B361..
However I had received nothing.

I bought mine outright at JB HiFi and got the OTA on Thursday night - posted to Whirlpool as well. I received notification when I checked the update entry in settings. Not an early adopter nor rooted or downloaded via the HiCare app.
As for the different firmwares blame that on the carrier not Huawei - Optus, Telstra et al are always slow - best check their websites or ask their Twitter/FB accounts for the timeframe.
Loving the updated EMUI 5.0. :laugh:

Unbranded Australian C636 here and still on B190, check for updates button nearly getting worn out!!

Got the Nougat update last night. Notification details are very hard to read. Almost white on white text. Anyone else got this, or knows how to fix it?
See screenshot attached.

@Tecalote is working on the Nougat version of the NewWorld rom. Chances are, he will probably release this before Optus roll out the EMUI 5.0 update. If you really want EMUI 5.0, you can always flash L09C636B361 via the Huawei tools, then it will be a debranded AU version.

Okay so just updated to nougat for AT&T have tried all the methods posted with no luck gets stuck on the s7 edge boot logo pretty much a soft brick causing me to have to reload the u software then upgrade to nougat again can anyone give me insight on how to root?

This is actually my first Android didn't know about all that lol till I started researching more on modifying the phone. So in other words there is no known working root ? No complaints I can wait for the systemless root just not a huge fan of the eng bootloader.

even if u get the 935u. The bootloader is locked, all USA s7 and s7 edges are bootloader locked.

Didn't know that I'll keep that in mind I'm glad I got the exynos version

God I wish I had the exynos version I actually had my eye on that superman Rom the found out about the locked boot loader as of right now and the sound of it we'll never have the privilege of it either. I mean we got the echoe Rom but it was laggy and abandoned which I dont blame them if it's that big of a pain. I like root to remove things I don't use to replace them with things I do plus love tweaking it to my liking have yet to use xposed which I know there are a few unofficial versions that I've read will work flashing through flashfire but gotta get root.
