HTC U12+ firmware 2.55.401.3 28/09/2020 - HTC U12+ Questions & Answers

My Phone Just got updated to software number 2.55.401.3 on 28/09/2020
with the tag : minor improvements.
no noticeable change only thing that stand out is the " August 1,2020 " android security patch level
anyone got the update?
search the internet for it but could not find anyone talking about it..
if you guys figured out what new stuff in this small (100mb) update let me know to add them to the list
PS: my phone is the unlocked version
update :
change logs :
- android security patches August 1,2020
- microphone fix for speaker mode on call

yes, i also received the update

No update for me yet, still on 2.55.401.1 with the speakerphone hotfix. That might be the reason why... I hope I'll also get it.

I also have the update for the speaker and no update for me. I am also rooted i know you have the remove magisk and restored the boot.img , not sure if is enough maybe need to install the ruu again for that.

I received the update too. Security upgraded to this year.

Hotfix for the speakerphone and no update for my phone, this is strange!

Yes but with what I know is not possible to install it in this way you will got a error. You need to go to HTC chat live and ask for the update and is will ask you your imei to push the update.
But what I am curious is why when you have this update the new one of this week you do not have it. Maybe is because this new update includes also this patch of speaker? Need to someone for confirm this

Yes I got the update today

Hello. Did someone update? Do you have to rooted afterwards? Thank you

Is 2.55.401.3 for an EU / Asia model (that is, not U.S. Unlocked)? There's no update yet for the U.S. Unlocked model?
I've long moved on to the Pixel 4 series but just bought a prepaid 365 day tracfone SIM card, and gonna use the U12+ as my new backup phone. Would be nice to have the speakerphone issue fixed.

Nothing here yet. Unlocked U12+ 64GB (software number: 2.55.401.1) up to date in every other respect and on Vodafone UK.
I know this is a somewhat rhetorical question but the U12+ really is never going to get Android 10, is it?
Such a shame, the hardware on the device clearly has a lot of life left in it and I've owned mine for 2 years now.

Is there anything i can do, to get that update?
is there any RUU or something like that?

I decided to reach out to HTC to check if the hotfix people will also get this more official update. But after filling in my SN, I get a nice message saying:
Your device is currently out of warranty and is no longer eligible for free of charge Technical Support
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
HTC is really cutting costs, I can't even talk to HTC anymore?
Anyway, I dug up my e-mail conversation about the hotfix and reply to that, hopefully that'll work

I still do not have this update.. the last one is the mic patch..

Its the update for the non branded asian rom sensation. it just fixes a few bugs that some ppl are experiencing. for eg i notice that the ppl widget will now keep my default actions that i set, before it would not.
I have this phone and just got the OTA update. Any idea how I can change the location of the device from SE Asia to Europe?

Now i can connect to my bluetooth car kit, can initiate answer, but audio does not transfer to car kit.
I have removedthe connection and set it up again - no joy.
any ideas?

Good News. The problem is, I see no Skype call quality fix and multitasking issue fixed. Patiently waiting CM9...xconny's team hardwork product
Anyone know how we can install this update via zip in recovery. I am new to rooting without directly installing CM, so not sure how to update and keep stock Sense.

here's some hope they'll fix those under the table (skype issue might be related to wifi fix). CM9 or not, multitasking problem needs kernel tweaking.
Hopefully this will also solve some of the data connection issues.

• Resolves signal fluctuation.
That's the big point right there.
Once its released, we should be able to have the update baked into a custom rom and made available to root users..right?
This might be a bit of a noob question here but this update is pushed out to carriers by HTC correct? So in theory, these fixes (mainly signal fluctuation is what im worried about at the moment) will eventually get pushed out by all carriers that have this phone?
Im on Telus in Canada and still within the 14 day return period of getting a new phone until next tuesday and so far the phone is fantastic except that the signal quality is absolutely terrible which makes it pretty unusable as a phone. On a sunny day outside where i would have gotten 5 bars with my Desire, i am either getting absolutely nothing (Emergency mode/0dbm) or at best one bar (-107 dbm). I really want to keep this phone, but if a fix doesn't come before next week i might have to ditch it and get a Galaxy Nexus or something else, which i would rather not do.
It looks like they just changed the memo to June 4th now.
"Improvements to camera stability"
What could this be? Hope it helps camera focus in low light.

Would you expect it NOT to? Rooted phones not updating isn't that uncommon. Simply nandroid your current ROM (make a backup of it too), and flash a stock nandroid to get back to your original state, and it'll most likely update just fine.....whenever the update comes out, that is.

From what I read, you'll need to reflash the stock recovery, relock the bootloader and flash an RUU to remove the tampered and unlocked so the OTA will work. I'm hoping someone will get the OTA and make a zip we can flash on top of the current stock to get the fixes...

Agreed, but the issue at hand is whether or not it will flash a new kernel. As of now, i don't believe we have a way to flash a kernel, but I could be completely wrong.
Sure would be nice of HTC to release the source code.....those assholes
I'm new to htc rooting, but not to rooting at all. Other phones I had rooting wouldn't stop an ota. Tho custom recovery would most likely

Update 1.28..651.3

Did anyone just get this downloaded to their phone? I was working and grabbed mine to check something and seen it dl'ing so I checked and it was a update. My phone is supposedly rooted running Bad Boyz with MagisK V13.3. Haven't tried the S-off yet since it is only temporary and I need my phone for multi factor authentication. All in all I thought it shouldn't get direct updates...

Stock updates aren't blocked on BadBoyz. You can't install the update, but you can certainly download it...and have the ongoing reminder to install from now until you update to the new firmware. Have fun with that....

Updates are region and or Carrier dependent. Updates are rolling out soon for all other variants. Next update will be August security patch. Now don't go around asking in September why we don't have a September security patch yet.
I really don't get why people bug out for Security patches. You are more likely to drop your phone in a puddle of water in the middle of the desert than be hacked because a month or two outdated security patches on Android.
Anyone got the update's changelog ?

Yesterday I was planning to post:
I find it still hard to understand all the updates from Oppo.
I had CPH2025VF_11_A.26 with 5 may security
then i went downgrade CPH2025VF_11_A.23 with june patch
Now i miss some features like filming with wide angle and smart power save...
any idea if i can undo the damage?

But I guess here I have my answer. I'm new to oppo and as far is I can see there are more frequent updates so far than when I had samsung.
Just wondering why though, must be a bug inside the module that checks whether there's a newer version or just poor administration on their side?

I emailed Oppo Service and they told me that I have to send it to a oppo service they will update it for me, I ask them if they just send me the software version so I can do it by myself, I know how to do it.
I will wait for an answer.

I was on A.15 since out of box, no OTA received, I have updated manually to CPH2025_11_A.23.
Now again everyone is talking about A.30 but no OTA for me even via VPN.??
Region is UAE. Model CPH2025 global, 5G and volte is working no issue...
Any clue why not receiving OTA at all.
Well this is there response to me.
Ino we are at are own risk installing these builds but not to have a dodgy rollback file that they send to us! So now apparently we all have to send are devices away.

Don't assume you've got a "bugged" version of software. Remember up until today those of us on A.23 couldn't get the update, even by using the VPN method but it didn't mean we had faulty software. Today the update then appeared for us as an OTA as normal.
Perhaps your A.25 version just needs to wait a bit longer and you'll eventually get the update sent to your phone as usual.
