Is there any reliable information about when the official froyo update is coming from rogers? I read some random post saying that that it is coming in mid-December (i.e. now), or some others saying mid January. I'm inclined to believe the later date, however if somebody some concrete information it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Given Rogers track record on timing of products whether they be for software updates or product releases, I wouldn't trust any source reliable or not. Sometimes its just best to say... 'you'll get it when it's available'
I've realized that a 'no-expectations' approach is often the best when it comes to Rogers.
Saw someone got updated. I have an international version. No update yet.
Sorry too many of these threads already
..........THREAD CLOSED...........
I'm 100% certain this has been asked more than once. Next time search, search and search. It depends on your region. Samsung are rolling out the update in Germany. Other regions will follow suit. For example, I'm in the UK. So I'm following @samsungmobileUK's twitter feed for any information regarding the update.
So, there are always a lot of forum threads where people complain they haven't got the update yet, but i want to know if anyone knows how they work. I don't really want guesses, but maybe someone knows something from Sony on how the updates, especially via the PC companion software, work. What i do know is this:
1) It's not by model number - my C6903 doesn't have 4.3 yet
2) It's not by country - other ppl in the Netherlands have posted getting theirs
I don't care too much about OTA, i could imagine that's a staged rollout based on carriers and bandwidth, so there are a lot more variables. As a developer, i also get the concepts of slowly pushing stuff out, but what i don't get is why it'd be a staged rollout via the PC Companion, and I don't see a pattern of the staged rollout.
Any ideas?
G
I can only part answer in the case of carriers. Firmware is given to the carrier, they need to test it and then approve it, make any changes they need (bloatware usually). Once that's been done its then sent back to Sony to roll out. I know that Samsung will release updates in bulks of IMEI numbers, not sure if Sony also uses this method. I know its only a part answer, sorry couldn't be more help.
I am looking to find stock firmware for the Galaxy Camera 2, but seem to have come to a dead end.
I live in China, and have bought a new Galaxy Camera 2 here. I love the camera, but the firmware installed is obviously region specific, and is missing many things that come as standard on Western stock firmware (such as all Google apps including the Play Store etc.) and Facebook for example.
I know I could just use Odin to root the device, take off the Chinese bloatware and side load the apks I wanted, but I would prefer to use a new stock firmware from somewhere like US or UK.
I've been searching for several days, including on xda, but can't find anywhere reliable with the firmware. Would anyone here be able to point me in the right direction? I'm pretty sure no ones asked this question before on the forum, but if I'm being stupid and have simply missed it, I hope you'll forgive my ignorance.
Otherwise cheers, and I appreciate any help offered. :good:
SamMobile has the US(Cellular South) firmware:

Hmm, not seeing US for the EK-GC110.

Hello in China! Unfortunately due to the fact that I'm new in this forum, I'm not yet permitted to place links in my posts and/or replies Which is no fun, especially when you think that you might have the answer for someone! BUT, hopefully you can find the page I'm talking about by doing an online search for 'regional firmware for ek-gc200' which should lead to the link I believe you're looking for on the very 1st page of google listed as 'Samsung Updates - Firmware Download Page' . OR you can always try Samsung's main site and search for an 'updates' section on there Hope it helps!

Without unlocking the bootloader it will be difficult ?
please stop asking questions nobody knows... it will be out when its ready.
Interestingly Huawei offered to update my phone beyond the Three UK v134 ..... But only if I sent the phone off to their engineers.

First, it was a legitimate question that somebody working at the appropriate place could very well know the answer to, second it is ready according to Huawei's own Weibo account.
I did hear from a couple of users that they've been told by Huawei Europe that the roll out of emui 9 will be on or near December 22 (Croatia and Serbia respectively).
I spoke with a Huawei Canada customer service representative who told me that the November 10 roll out was for Chinese models only and that no specific date has been provided for the North American release. They suggested following Huawei Mobile on social media for updates
?
So the more answers they give, the more questions remain.
If Europe is getting it December 22, the rest of the world can't be far behind.

Yes, Huawei Croatia said that roll out will be on December 22, and Huawei Serbia talk only about December (without precise day)
Conversely, you can try using Firmware Finder from the app store. I suggest watching a YouTube video on how to use it properly to install any available firmware for your Huawei device.
Given uk devices are still waiting on GPU turbo update that rolled out to other devices in the summer, I expect we might get pie by Easter?.... And I really wish that was sarcasm.
It seems the beginning will be 22nd of December, but national operators will hold it a bit, as usual.
I just contacted Three support to ask when updates (any updates!) are being pushed.... they responded:
"the android version are available on the Google store, Three provide with the phone and not android version."
Erm... what?!?!?!
---------- Post added at 17:11 ---------- Previous post was at 16:13 ----------
I've managed to speak to a customer relations manager - they are pushing an update next week, but won't say what version it is!
"As this point of time, the technical team are not ready to reveal that information. As they have been told by Huawei not to reveal this information till the software is realeased."!!
I have, however, managed to convince them to release me from the 24mth contract so I can return the phone. Fed up with the lack of development caused by the bootloader unlock issue, and the ridiculous lack of updates.
Anyone seen this?

The models listed in the article should be the same ones that have EMUI 9 available for download through the Firmware Finder app.
Unfortunately, my model isn't listed as I'm sure others are missing too.
My model is listed in the article but not in firmware finder for pie
Not sure about trying it myself
Supposedly there might be a release to a major European market by the end of next week. I'd wait before trying something that's uncertain. Hopefully Canada isn't too far behind.
Last time Three UK told me something was "imminent" it was security patches that were already outdated and no new features at all.

Here you go, all. Copied from Huawei Global's official Twitter account. It was tweeted out today (November 19 at 6:25am). Official global rollout has begun.

Weird tho as firmware finder doesn't show latest pie build except for China.
