Good question - not sure to be honest. Mine is stock so I'm hoping for something soon.

Nowt for me yet on stock N1 using Orange sim

Nothing here... but I'm expecting it to be a PITA for me:
Rooted N1, FRF50, build.prop fix for protected apps.

I'm wondering.. i live in Norway, and Nexus haven't been officially released here or many other countries. My thoughts is that since my phone seems to be an "imported" phone (even if i bought it trough my provider in April) if it has an IMEI that is in with all the american ones. Possibly we get the OTA together with them. Could happen i think.
Same might go for UK phones.
I'm not really holding my breath, running 5.0.8 so any time will do for me.

Chances are you'll be on 6.0 CM froyo before Google pushes out their lame duck Nexus froyo.

How are the phone selected to receive OTA? I have a stock N1 brought in Romania and using a vodafone Ro sim card. The phone is not brought from Vodafone Ro . Vodafone Ro has not yet sold any N1 as far as I know. Up to this moment I understand that no N1 from abroad of USA has received OTA. How the selection works , by network operator, by IMEI , something else ?

The honest answer is I'm not sure myself. I've heard conflicting reports of who distributes the OTA updates.
I suppose I'll just wait around like everyone!

Apparently it's IMEI based.

I have an AT&T Nexus one imported to India. I am Using it in India since beginning. I am one of the first and very few who got the FRF83 OTA update. Nexus One is not released here. So the OTA is neither country specific nor t-mobile only.

[Q] Using HD7 on Vodafone UK Network

Afternoon gents,
I am trading my iPhone 4 for the HD7 but i don't get very good signal with O2, so i was thinking about buying the handset unlocked and then putting a Vodafone contract SIM in it.
But, will this affect phone updates as carriers control WP7 updates?
Thank you.

You will have to wait for O2 to push updates as it will have an O2 ROM on it (O2 splash logo, locked yahoo search etc).
The only way around this is to flash a Euro branded ROM using Goldcard (exactly what I did) or one of the other methods floating around in the dev thread.

What about buying the phone from one of the East Asia compaines?
Found a site which offers the handset for £250 - checked reviews everywhere and all have recieved their items without fault.
One would assume that these devices would not have the O2 ROM?

No problem with Asia Phone
I bought my HD7 from an Asian shop on ebay. No problems whatsoever and I am also on Vodafone. I did use the disconnect trick and am now runing the nodo update with no issues. I also got my 16GB phone a LOT cheaper.
Crack on, it's well worth it!
Edit: Of course it was completely inbranded

What's the disconnect trick?
Did Zune tell you that an update was available?

You'll be fine i bought my via o2 but same reason due to poor data signal i ported over to vodafone, and it works brilliantly, update is fine, recently HTC push the NoDoUpdate via ZUNE and everything is runing smoothly.

Same here, I've been on Vodafone for years but pre-ordered a PAYG HD7 from O2 then just got it unlocked and has been great since.
Granted I did flash the latest Euro ROM using GOLDCARD so have no problems with updates or anything but all in all very much glad I sold on my iPhone 4 when I did, thankfully found someone nice to buy it and paid what I did as got a Unlocked one straight from Apple when they first came out.

If i bought a HD7 from the O2 shop, how would i go about unlocking it?
Would this also remove the O2 boot logo?
(You'll have to excuse my stupid questions, i do computers not phones )

You could either pay a unlock site to give you a unlock code or if you know a O2 Contract Customer they can fill out the unlock code request form online and request one for free. If you do it that way it may take two or three attempts as some guys email back and say no cos it's a contract phone but then somebody won't check as much and just issue the code, know loads of people done it this way, took 2 attempts to get mine.
As for the branding NO it would not get rid of it, to do that you would need to flash the phone with a different ROM like a HTC Euro ROM using such as the GOLDCARD Method. This will not make any difference to your unlock status so you know so you can't unlock it by flashing another ROM, and you can flash as often as you want and it won't relock the phone, once it's unlocked it's unlocked.

If you had to do the disconnect trick then it isnt de-branded.
The debranded HD7s got the update on the day of release.
I got my HD7 from O2, unlocked it through O2, and then left and went to 3.
I also did the debranded as said on here, which was nice and easy, and I got the nodo update on the day of release

I assure it is unbranded and the update was not available on the day of release as reported all over the web. I have since however rolled back the update and received the official update with HTC additions via Zune.

Voda vs P4U on branding.

In the process of negotiating an upgrade deal. Currently on Voda.
Just wanted to know the difference between getting the phone from Vodafone or P4U.
Does the branding make much difference ??

branded phones seem to get updates later as they have to get branding added and in some cases don't get some update at all due to vodafone/networks not signing the ok on versions

Huge difference as stated above, update always comes late on branded phones, or never come.
But unbranded phone gets updates directly from HTC not vodafone so you are guaranteed to have them as soon as they are released.
Also, you have no bloatware on unbranded phones, and normally unbranded phones are unlocked on any network meaning when you sell the phone, it worthes more. But there are exceptions, my galaxy s3 lte is unbranded but locked to orange.
Anyway, if p4u's price is acceptable, better go with them. I sacrificed my 40% off discount with Orange and went upgrade with p4u even paying a bit more, but I never regretted.

Anyone actually got a branded phone?

I can't comment on voda but I've just recieved a branded device from EE and Tbh there is no bloat or pre installed crapps in fact it looks completely the way HTC intended. I'm guessing different networks will have different amounts of input but more are straying away from loading the handsets with crap for update purposes. If your rooted it don't matter anyway.

I read reports on the Vodafone forum of their customers receiving phones that have Vodafone on the bootscreen, definitely branded and I would definitely avoid that if you can P4U will be unbranded and will of course price match anyway.

Can confirm the Vodafone version has a Vodafone boot and shutdown screen. They haven't put any bloatware on it but it's definitely branded

Is there any branding on the phone itself or just software?

I have the "One" branded to Three. As far as i can see there are branded start and shutdown and two branded apps "Three Music" and "Three Games". They seem to have also installed the Amazon and Ebay apps.. I think given a chance i'll be installed the HTC standard build as soon as one is available... neither of the above apps are worth anything to me..

Sorry to clarify, the hardware is identical and has no Vodafone markings.
The phones software is Vodafone branded and comes with both their CID and usual bloat.

Just to throw this out there.
When I had a unbranded S3 Vodafone users got their official OTA updates before me.

Pretty sure you could use Kies to get it the same time if you really wanted.
With Samsung you would never be left hanging for a JB compatible HBOOT if you wanted it.

[Q] Any news on HTC One 1.29 update for Three Branded Version?

Any news yet for the latest update for Three branded phones?

There wont be yet - but when I had a Three branded One X I remember them being one of the quicker networks getting the updates out but it could still be a couple of months after the unbranded update hits the UK

O2 and Vodafone UK appear to be pushing the updates already. I'm waiting for Orange/T-Mobile UK.

How can there be such a big discrepancy between Three and Vodafone etc. Vodafone ireland released the update today but nothing on Three at all - are they just slow getting these things out?

Wonder if they'll be any quicker than they were releasing the jelly bean update for the HTC One X? Took 3-4 months in total after most other networks. That's why I vowed never to purchase a handset from Three UK again.

I too have 3 branded nothing yet think it will be quicker to wait for soff then change cid move to non 3 Rom and continue that way I too had a one x 3 took forever but I managed to swap for a non branded handset so was all good

Three Ireland told me mid May for update? who knows though they didnt mention a year haha

Totally worth waiting for S-OFF and move over to stock HTC ROM - I cannot see that Three do anything worth while to their version anyway...

i unlocked the bootloader last night! how does S-ON affect the phone? Does it just mean no OTA updates?

Three UK informed me it was in testing. A few more weeks isnt going to hurt anyone. Rather have a bug free update.

The base for the 3 UK update will be the stock HTC update. Any bugs in this update will not be altered by 3.
The only bugs that 3 will need to sort out are the ones that they introduce with there bloatware.

any further news yet??

I missed a call from 3 re the software update. Will ring them back soon.
Ok, it's not far away. 2 weeks max. Apparently 3 sold a lot of HTC One's

As spikeydoo2006 said, 3 UK were one of the slowest carrier to update ota on one X
I would be very surprised if they're any different with One.
If you want the latest update now on 3 branded One then flash a custom Rom.
ARHD is very close to stock in appearance, I have been using on my One for several weeks

Nothing at all, keep checking every day...

This thread has gone very quiet. Why?
Any news from 3 ?

Wrong thread.. Ignore

Have been away on holiday for the past week or so, was hoping that there would be a nice update ready for me on my return. Guess not. Still nothing. Poor show Three! :crying:

HTC One from Orange

Hey,
I have a question regarding new Htc One from Orange.
In my country - Slovakia, its impossible to get rhis phone. Nobody has it, except mentioned operator.
Are phones from Orange blocked ? Do they have custom series number.
I have read/heard rumours that phnes from operator have custom serie number and they tend to get sw updates much later than phones from market.
Is this true ?
Sorry, if this was answered before, but i coudlnt find answer anywhere.
Thanks

Yes, branded phone receive OTA and ETA update much later then nobrand phone.
For example, stock no brand phone have 1.29.401.12, O2 branded phone have 1.29.209.xx and at today no OTA updates...
However, they don't have a custom serial number, but a custom CID

Thanks, thats what i wanted to hear (read).
Actually didnt want to hear :-\
