Well I finally managed to get into the europe htc site and register under vrious product serial numbers, to get the link to download the WM 6.1 upgrade rom - so the rumors are correct
The only thing is, I played around with the 5th digit, and replaced with 1 and 2 and got dutch and danish options, but no english ! :-(
Anyone has suggestions on what digit will enable english language download ?
theres a whole thread on tihs.

Seriously...who is doubting that this was official? HTC released it "officially" on May 23rd. There are no less that 1000 posts on this forum dealing with the official release.
In addition, it appears you are posting about how to scam a fake serial number to register a non-existent device.
Why you would want to do this I'm not sure, since the official WWE version has been posted numerous times among those 1000+ threads.
What I don't understand, is, if you have a "usa" version, why you would want to fool around with the ROM update anyway.
I guess I'm gettin' too old to fool around with bleeding edge stuff. I'll wait
until the dust settles, let at&t release one (if they ever do), or wait until XDA
gets a 100% stable release. Personally, the only issue I have with the tilt is
the slow switching from landscape to portrait mode. I don't watch videos, so that one isn't an issue.
Hat's off to you guys out there that play with these early releases.
There are threads about this in the ROM development forums and there are links in the Kaiser wiki on the Shipped ROMs page for all languages, including english. (See my sig for a quick link)
Thread closed.
Hello everyone!
After unsuccessfully attempting to flash the oldest available firmware onto my P7300, and having gotten its display dead due to an old bootloader being contained in there, through bringing it back to life.... I decided to do some research on the GSM calling functionality that was available in early pre-release units of the P7300.
There wasn't much to discover. We have all seen the notorious gsmarena.com video, showing the P7300 dialling a number from the contacts app.
Code:
/watch?v=7acOtSX6Foc&hd=1#t=1m35s
I tried contacting gsmarena themselves to no avail. I researched the website's ownership and it even turned out that the website is hosted on a server in Chicago, USA but the organization that pays for it is... wait for it... ARENA KOM OOD. That OOD is the bulgarian equivalent of what germans label as GmBH (Gesellschaft mit begrenzter Haftung). So i searched the Bulgarian national trade registrar and found the company sitting there with contact information. Unfortunately there has been no response from them either.
So I went back to YouTube and watched a bunch of hands-on videos for the Tab 8.9 hoping to see someone open the Settings > About menu.
And voila, I found one. Basically you can see that the tablet has a Call settings entry in the menu and later on you are presented with an HD view of the software build number and kernel version.
Code:
/watch?v=SsUoU966DdE&hd=1#t=1m57s
Since I am no developer, and I am also not yet able to post to development sections, I am seeking assistance for getting someone who knows his way around Samsung' s source code involved.
Perhaps if the source code for Honeycomb as early as 3.0.1 is available, someone can compile it and extract the modem.bin or any other part necessary to support 2G Network voice calling.
How come...
Hasn't anyone anywhere in the world ever dumped a pre-release unit's firmware to make it available for the public before launch?

These arent very popular devices, so I wouldnt count on it.
Well then...
...where did all the review units and the ones from shows that had the functionally go? Don't the reviewers who receive them get to keep them or do they return them to the manufacturer?
...Google end production on nexus 5....
http://techpp.com/2014/11/05/nexus-5-discontinued/
..Nexus 5.0 update delayed until Nov.12..

Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
from the same article that you posted about the n5 being discontinued..
Update: There’s a possibility that Google is stopping the production of only the 32GB version of Nexus 5, as the XDA user above was asking for a replacement of 32GB Nexus 5. We will be contacting LG/Google for clarification and will update this article accordingly.

End of production was to be expected from my point of view.
But "delayed" update was a quiet a surprise because I was expecting at the end of November.
I'm quiet happy that they will release OTA on 12th, that means the image will be up few days sooner.
Sent from my SM-T320 using XDA Free mobile app
Nah it will not end.
http://www.google.com/nexus/5/
The site says it all.
Yea... Wouldn't make sense to discontinue it, and take the effort to redo the Nexus 5 page showing it running Lollipop.
Come on guys, you know how it is. This is rumor season. A bunch of people just randomly show up to the forum to post something they probably saw on G+ or something. Take 99.99% of all of this stuff with a grain of salt. As for the N5, I'll believe it's discontinued when you can't buy it on the Play Store from a link that says get your NEW Nexus 5 here...
So, you're pointing to a blog that in turns points back to lively thread here in our very own forums... Needless to say the original XDA thread does a fine job of repudiating the idea that the N5 has been terminated -- for all the reasons noted in the above posts. Circular posts like this just feed the rumour mill and before long we all end up authoritatively on IBTimes!
Though the N5 portion of this thread seems redundant in light of the XDA source thread I'll add a further 2¢: The original complaint seems to be someone trying to RMA their device (specifics are lacking), If that's the case he/she would only be offered a refurbished unit as per Google policy. That wouldn't explain the explain the wording of the feedback from Google Play, but in that case I'd suggest it's little more than miscommunication. In fact, the wording of the Play email is rather unlike anything I've ever had back from Google/Play support.
Said thread / rumour began here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/nexus-5-wont-produced-anymore-t2921263/page2
EDIT: *sigh* Even the postponement item is a report on a rumour from another site. "Android Police claims to have learned that the over-the-air (OTA) update for Android 5.0 Lollipop has been postponed to until..." While AP is a very credible source (and this report has been thoroughly covered in the appropriate forum here already), linking to a repeat of a report is fairly useless unless the fresh take offers an actual fresh take with, ya know, with new details or insights.
What happened to official statements? Are they valid nowadays? Because Google hasn't officially declared anything regarding this... So why discuss it further?
A new thread for every single article on lollypop?
It would be awesome if there were one place to discuss all these...... Wait... What about...

That thread is for the Developer Preview of Lollipop. Not the public production release of Lollipop.
I for one have found info on Production release lacking on this forum so informative threads are appreciated.

Yep, this trend makes it appear as if there is a lot less content too. Plus like you mention I'm not reading 100 pages in a thread with a title I have no interest in.
Much easier to have more specific topics with several pages than broad topics with hundreds of pages where who knows what page the info I'm looking for might be on.

Well, if you had read the blog post that you cited regarding end of production you'd have seen that it was referring to (and linked to!) an XDA N6 thread. If, having realized this, you still felt there was a clear need to (re)post it here you could have - at least - linked directly to the original XDA thread.
Another future of N5/Nexus thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2919674
And most here know that all L discussion goes in the L general or Q&A threads until it's officially released. Hence the reason every single L or Lollipop thread has been closed by the moderators.... In case you didn't see that trend. ?
Please guys. Stick to the L sticky threads as we've been asked to numerous times. ?
This is very good news.
Now android l can fix the problems of nexus 5 and make much better. now i like nexus 5. nexus 6 too big, it sad and sad
why delay because google still watch us with nsa so who care if they watch us all the time then they watch us right now be very disappointed with the delay

I will point out that the 32GB is out of stock on the Nexus 5 minisite, but that just means out of stock, which means no backorderable stock, which could mean waiting on new manufacture. I actually believe that Google understands, as do I, that this phone is still very cutting edge; and at this price point, most certainly the best buy for the dollar on the market. I have the opportunity to get any new phone now with a company paid monthly bill on AT&T or Verizon. You know what? I'm gonna keep my N5 on Straight Talk. Call me a dummy but I can't find a phone I like more with the features I've grown attached to (wireless charging ftw), a brilliant high dpi screen, and a form factor that fits just right (any larger and I can't one-hand it on the subway while keeping my other hand on the railing). What really makes a phone feel new is a radically upgraded OS, and that's what I have now with my no-questions-asked free replacement refurb on Android 5.0. Thanks Google!
@KJ is right, plenty of threads to discuss this.

I think its a fake...
Nobody uses cwm in p7.
On xda i cant find anything.
It's fake on obviously add new says xda tutorial and that's nothing in this section on it or the other areas for our p7.
As above no cwm on p7 twm is what is used it seems, also he doesn't state model number remember there all imcompatible the roms as all the l10 people are unhappy that's no Dev emui 3 ROM or that device.
The kernel has only been recently released publicly for our devices and you will see any custom rom on this forum is a early test version.
The screenshot is edited KOT49H is the 4.4.2 build number lollipop uses something else and is a white background I'm running it on my nexus 10 right now.
Also emui 3.0 on 4.4 isn't out till next week.
I do hope huawei release a v5 lolipop rom but when or if they will announce it I don't know.
Allot of companies like to sell new devices than update them to the new versions.
These scams have been going round for years for many things not just android Roms where they take something and sightly edit it and put links behind a survey host.
If you need anymore proof it's a scam it has URL stuff to rewrite the article as you can see here on my attempt at a funny test.
http://www.lollipop-rom.org/mp3-/this-site-is-a-scam-dont-use-this-guide-to-update-6124.html
Also since yesterday when I sent a message inquiring about things the person quietly changed the screenshots and stuff from a black to white background based on my inquiry to fool people even more.
Just found out the comments are in an iframe from a totally different site as well as other things by looking at the site code.
Here is the WHOIS details of the site with contact details of the owner if anyone is wondering.
Going a google I found other sites linked to the email related to android etc and a forex scam thing.
Also a registered street address in indonesia connected to the accounts.
I have compiled some info and submitted it to google the best I can as there's no official way to submit this stuff.
So for now this thread can die until Huawei announces a proper lollipop version.
Android 5 and down want to downgrade what can i do ?
Tab A has got its update, not even a flag ship device.
Still nowt for the Tab S.
http://www.sammobile.com/2016/05/18/samsung-galaxy-tab-a-receives-android-6-0-marshmallow-update/
Flagship means nothing to Samsung. :thumbdown:
Maybe I'm just in denial (feels like it to be honest), but I refuse to accept (for now at least) that we won't be getting MM. I must remain hopeful...:crying:
So does Samsung seem to release updates to the newest phone/tablets first and then work backwards with the oldest being last if at all.
John.
We will get it soon
Sent from my SM-T705 using Tapatalk
I have a Note 4 and the Tab S and I tell you these will be my last Samsung devices! No updates on supposed flagship devices is abysmal! Next phone will be a Nexus and probable their tablet too.
i recall seeing a chart somewhere,was that just bogus ?
There were a couple of unofficial photo/lists the first had the Tab S1 8.4" getting MM from April, the second photo showed NO Tab S1 models at getting updated to MM, these are now very old and should not be relied on.
I think the Tab S1 will get updated to MM in the next couple of months.

By the time the Tab S gets MM the AOSP build will have matured enough for daily use

Samsung Support said:
Dear [removed],
Thank you for contacting Samsung. With reference to your E-mail, I understand that you would like to know whether Samsung will release the Android Marshmallow update for your Tab S (model: SM-T700NTSAXAR). I can imagine how bothering and inconvenienced this would have been. Currently, there is no new update: Marshmallow available for your tablet model. We at technical support are not able to speculate the estimated time period of the update release and exact version of the update as it may lead to incorrect estimation of the update release information, also there is no official word available to state about the update availability . However, once any new update is released, it will be notified on the tablet in Apps > Settings > About device > Software Update. You can also check for the new Software update notification information on Samsung website under News section. I hope you understand. Please refer to the link below to access Samsung News website:
http://www.samsung.com/us/news/
The update time will be varied from model to model and location to location. I understand how important the update is for you. Usually, the updates will be released in batches. Once the new update is released for the batch to which your tablet belongs, then your tablet will also receive the update notification.
Also, I see that there is no test or app available from Samsung to test or run the battery function. I hope you understand.

I got that from them when asking about 5.1 god knows how long ago (8 months?). The don't give a toss. Samsung Support does not exist. You might as well ask a man/woman on the street.
Galaxy S5 gets MM , fingers crossed .. http://www.ubergizmo.com/2016/05/t-mobile-rolls-out-marshmallow-for-galaxy-s5-handsets/
The Tab S was realeased 2-3 months after the S5 so Samsung cannot say it`s to old.

If they don't release a mm update to a flagship device it will be a shame. But I think that they probably will release it. Just my opinion.

Yea but Samsung doesn't care about how old these things are...
The Tab Pro 8.4 was released in Jan 2014, and never got lollipop that was released in Dec 2014... in other words, they stopped support after 11 MONTHS!
