[Q] Updates available to unlocked HD7's?

I know there's talk of carriers blocking the recent update but my question is not specifically about carriers blocking updates but more so if people using HD7's unlocked to other carriers will get the update at all.
For example I bought my HD7 on Kijiji and it's branded to T-Mobile. I unlocked it and now use it on Wind Mobile here in Toronto (Canada). Wind Mobile does not offer this phone nor do they offer any WP7 devices.
So am I screwed? Or will I still be eligible for any updates?

I've asked this of windows mobile support, they didnt know but are looking into it and will get back to me

Even if it would be like that, I wouldn't worry too much as I'm sure that Devs like Football or Ansar will deliver the latest roms with the update in a near future.

I guess I'm worried because both my g/f and I are using our HD7's unlocked on Wind Mobile and neither of us received our pre-NoDo update yet

Hey Pistol i'm in the exact same situation as you, but from what i'm aware of Tmobile hasnt yet released the update, this was till yesterday. Someone on the tmo forum posted that they had takled to a tmo rep and she wasn't aware of any updates and that none had been issued out as of yet.

I hear ya except I'm not on T-Mo.. so I can't see that being my issue. Sure my HD7 is T-Mo branded but they aren't my carrier. So even if they "blocked" it I can't see that affecting me.

With all phones that I have used that were unlocked to a different carrier, they were all able to update over a wifi connection. So i dont think this phone will be any different. As long as the phone is able to go on the internet ether on wifi or data it will be able to update. But like i said this is just coming from my experience with other smartphones

that's if an update was available, my nokia e71 is 3 firmwares behind an unbranded device as the carrier branded fw never got updated so the checker never found an update. Just saying... I'm hoping the same as the rest or I'm gonna be stressed

Well come to find out I just read that all you have to do is hook it up to your computer and start zune and it will update your software on your phone. The page said that I will not happen right away for everyone but soon you will be able 2. if you want to know more just go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913039 there is a link on there to the windows phone blog that explains whats in this update and how to update to it.

Actually the Zune software will only update the phone if the notification has been sent, if the carrier is blocking the update (win serial tied to IMEI / IMEI assigned to carrier / Carrier says these phones don't get update due to testing or we don't want it) notification is never sent.
That's how they can stop the update going to all the Samsungs that haven't been updated, as they know which Windows serials are on those handsets.

My unlocked HD7 only saw the update after hard-wire connection to zune. It certainly was a direct download from microsoft, though as the previous poster noted, there may be a 0/1 flag by IMEI or at least by model as identified/verified in the zune client.
Install was quick and easy at 1100GMT of the 22nd in Taiwan.
Suprisingly, the phone itself made no indication an update was available.
Cheers

i called HTC and they told me that i dont have to worry about the update pushed last week... i will for sure get the march update.. and i have to wait for the march update..
my zune is saying my phone is up to date... i am using a non telco set sold by HTC reseller in singapore..
i hear so many story about the update: some say its for the first batch of devices, some say its a test, windows blog site says few days to few weeks every one will get the update..
i have reset my phone once and reloaded zune twice... and if i will not get my march update i will send my hd7 to HTC and demand 100% refund.. and buy a telco set as unlocked devices are use less in a way..

Good luck with getting a manufacture to give you a refund off a phone they didn't sell you there buddy.
I went to a meeting with 2 Microsoft reps in my area and they told me that the big update is coming March 7th. However, it will still be based on your carrier when that update will be pushed out to you as they may want to do some testing on their end first. This may delay the update by a few weeks depending on the carrier.

Still no update for me..
unlock HTC HD7 (no tmob branding) bought locally here in the philippines..
=(
well, some of my friends got the update and some are also still waiting.

I listened to the WP7 podcast over the weekend, and the program manager for WP7 said definitely that the update will be available for everyone, and one of their primary goals was to have no forking or fragmentation in WP7.
We'll see. I'm in the same boat, and I have not seen the update yet either.

well i am in the same spot but i am not too interested in this update i am hoping that we will all get the march update in march and not june or july

And still nothing for me either. It's been 8 days since the update released and my g/f's HD7 nor mine has been notified of an update.
I'd hate to think I'm going to have to flash my ROM everytime I want to get the latest updates. I couldn't imagine having to set up my phone from scratch after all the apps I've installed and settings I've adjusted.

[Q] A few questions regarding GT-N7000

So I bought the Galaxy Note international for my wife for her birthday. I full well knew that I wont be getting any official support from Samsung US. Those people are so incompetent anyways that its not really a loss. So I have a few questions for those of you who are using this device in USA.
1. Have you guys in US gotten the ICS update yet?
I ask because I am getting conflicted information everywhere.
2. If the hardware is international version, why does the country matter?
Very confused about this. I thought the good thing about having international version is that I wont need to wait for ATT to get off their backside to release updates.
3. Is there any way I can make my device simply talk to German or Indian servers to get the update?
I have rooted android devices before, so I am no stranger to the process. I would rather not do it on a device I am not using, simply because I want to keep getting official updates, without having to keep up with news on the device. So rooting to German ROM is the option only if Samsung has its head up its arse and update doesn't arrive this year at all.
Thanks for your help guys!

Your beat bet is to get a device from a region where ics is already released. It doesn't matter what country you're in, only if the country your device is from gets ics I believe. Not only is the updates better than ATT but I specifically got it for the hardware/ devs
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

Thanks for the reply man. How do I find out what region the device was made for? It came with what I believe Russian documentation. Is there any way to know 100% sure? Using some serial number or something like that?

I want to say you can tell by the stock Baseband version that phone has, but I'm not 100% sure. Where did you buy this Note from? Amazon sells Brazil and Germany based ones for the most part I have heard. I bought mine on eBay and I THINK it is Germany, but not sure totally and I'm already custom and everything.
On the other hand, there might not be a way to tell what country you are on and how to get updates since you live in the states. I'm in the US too on ATT but ATT will have nothing to do with this Note. (They couldn't even recognize the IMEI number when I went into the store when I first bought it). Didn't know about the different model Notes until I got home and looked on XDA.

Andrew, I am on ATT as well but as my wife doesn't need a data plan (Wifi available everywhere we go), ATT doesn't even know that her line has a smartphone. Else they would push a useless data plan on us. Also, I got it from a third part seller at Amazon. Those people were as useful as a stick. Asked them where they get their stock from and never heard back.
If there is a way to find out country of origin, I would like to know. I've spent countless hours doing research on this, and for the first time, I have not been able to figure out a cellphone problem.
Also, I take it you already got your ICS update if your phone is German?

No, I didn't do an OTA update or Kies. I just PC Odined ICS, but now I'm on a CM9 build. If you are comfortable flashing and stuff, I would say just use PC Odin.

[q] n7000ubkk1 version ota ics update question...

Hello friends. I have a simple question to ask. I am on At&t and up until recently was using the 717, however, being the android fanatic that i am it just wasnt good enough so i had to go out and buy a brand new N7000 off of ebay to see what all the fuss was about. Within the first day i knew immediately. Much smoother and more fluid then the 717. Who needs the LTE anyway right i mean wont be anywhere near me for awhile so just a wasted feature as far as im concerned. Anyways the baseband version is N7000UBKK1. Im on Att and the phone was new and unlocked when i purchased it. My question is how exactly will my phone be upgraded to ics under these set of circumstances? I know that samsung and att are working on an ics release for the 717 but what happens with my phone. Im not a noob by far as ive been doing this awhile and just cant seem to find any answers. Trying to stat away from the custom roms and leaks but will that be my only option. Any advice will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hello Jack, my N7000 had the same baseband and though I live in Venezuela, a few weeks back I only had to connect my note to Kies (this is the one I installed: Kies_2.3.2.12054_18_2) it downloaded and installed Stock ICS without any issues (even when my phone was rooted).
Hope it works for you.
Regards.

Kies ota update
Thanks for the advice however i have registered it on my computer through kies and was unsuccessful in finding an update. Upon setting my phone up for the first time on the network i got a system message saying that it was registering and then after it was done i noticed that at&t was branded onto the device. Had a little problem setting up the new apn but now everything working well. As you said though your device has already been updated through ota officially maybe this is somehow connected with the carrier your device is registered to. Being that mine wasnt technically designated to att because they had a different version of the model will mine now be left out in the cold because of this.

Thats odd. As your my device is unbranded/unlocked, but never got "branded" after network registration, I work here with Movistar (a Telefonica subsidiary). Never got an OTA update, no matter how many time I checked for it and on june 11th, I plugged the phone to my PC opened Kies and it showed an update avaiable.
I think yours should also be able to get the update. Regretfully I can't try for now since I'm running Paranoid v0.4
Hope you can solve this easily.

Well i will certainly look up that software version for my note. I may or may not be running the same kies version that was previously installed with my at&t note so that may be my problem. From what you were saying there is no network logo on your lockscreen or drop down menu? I did notice that when i first turned my phone on it was set up in spanish along with all the included included accessories so it does make sense that this would be the south american version. Accordingly what version of the official ics update did you get? Would there be any potential problems with me doing a manual flash of this rom that you can forsee. All that talk about the infected ics roms and kernels has got me really worried about flashing anything unofficial ics wise but i am an impatient man when it comes to waiting on these sluggish carriers to release updates. With att there is no telling if youll ever see an update. Please provide me with the official version of ics that is designated for my version and i will flash it. Thanks

I'm actually having the same problem. I bought mine from the UK Amazon (I'm from the UK as suggested) and mine seemed to have been imported from Spain because it came in a Spanish box. The supplier was Samsung and many people had reviewed the product. I just don't seem to be getting an update for my phone. I've waited and waited, and now I'm hearing people are being updated to Jellybean :/

Will I be able to get Pie on my P20 Pro?

Hello everyone,
I really want a P20 Pro. I'm in the U.S. and would be using the factory unlocked Canadian ( CLT-L04 ) version of the phone via AT&T. It's soo much trouble getting this phone in the States. One of the things I'm most concerned about is getting the Android Pie update. It's supposed to start rolling out on the 10th, and I cannot find a concrete answer if I will be able to get it on my device. Contacted Huawei via facebook and asked and this was their response...
" Regarding your concern about updates; please bear in mind that, all of our updates are rolled out in batches according to the IMEI number and geographical region. If you own an unlock device, it will take a little more time to get updates. When the update are released, the carriers are in charge to send the update OTA."
When the update are released, the carriers are in charge to send the update OTA - That part has me concerned. Since I'll be on AT&T and it's not an officially supported device by AT&T, it sounds to me that I won't be able to get the update.
Anybody else in the U.S. that could help provide some insight on this?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

worst case is that you have to update it manually but that is pretty easy but i have no doubt that they will update every p20 pro to pie BUt it also depends on the carrier so getting a unlocked/unbranded device is a big plus for updates.

Thanks so much for the info! So the listing says this... "Only International items are Factory Unlocked without carrier logo and/or region lock." Without carrier logo I'm assuming means unbranded ( excuse my ignorance, I've never purchased a phone I couldn't just pick up in the store ) . So I should be able to get the Pie update without issue?

Yea seems like it and you can always flash some unbranded firmware tho if needed

Thanks! Sure hope you're right. Just purchased the last one the seller had.

Units sold by carriers in Canada are unlocked and unbranded. Mine is from Koodo/Telus and it's unlocked straight out of the box (it's the law in Canada) and doesn't have any carrier branding or carrier apps.
I think that as long as you are connected to the internet (mobile data or WiFi), you will get the update when a carrier releases it.

That's the concern I have though. I'm not on a carrier ( At&t ) that carries this phone.
Now that I've ordered the phone, I'm having a hard time finding screen protectors and cases for it. Ones I like that is.

I have the same concern. I bought my P20 Pro by an importer, since here in Brazil it is not officially sold. I know the model is from Latin America because it is a CLT-L29 C605. But since I bought it, it just made an update and I'm still with the July update (8.1.0.152) since then.
So I'm in doubt if I'm actually getting the Pie right now on the 10th.
It's unlocked.
I'm loving the device, but it's sad to know that I have a smartphone released this year, last generation and I don't have updates support for it.

I'm almost 100% sure that once Canadian carriers push the update you'll get it to. Has nothing to do with the carrier your on, updates are IMEI and model related. So if it's say a Telus/Koodo phone, you'll get the update when they push it.
That's been my experience anyways.
Ps. I'm using the same phone on Koodo now.
You should be on firmware .120 correct?

But you'll be fine for updates.

So receiving the updates to the phone varies by the carrier? The carrier is the one that has to push the updates, like T-Mobile...?

Carriers push the updates yes. But say I buy a phone outright from Rogers and I use it on Telus...Rogers will push the updates to the phone, not the carrier I use it on. And I think it happens because the IMEI would originally be in the Rogers database.
This has happened to me several times now.

My phone isnt branded, so I dont know what carrier it is... because I bought it off a tech-store.
And for network, I am from Macedonia and I use VIP-MK sim card, which, as you said VIP wouldnt push the updates because the phone isnt from there, I don't know from where they're getting the phones to their warehouses, haha.
I just got a new update tho, b159, hopefully I will get the newest update after I install this one. ^^

Possible that if it's unbranded and belongs to no carrier that you'd receive the updates from Huawei servers?

I dont think so.
Because there are a lot of updates for my phone to firmware finder, which I think they're from Huawei's servers, right?
And since I boight my phone like a month ago, this is my first update. I was kinda stuck at 152 with July's security patches, and a while ago I received 159 with October's security patches. All I want to say by this is that if I'd receive the updates from Huawei, I'd have now the newest security patches, which is 161 version I think.
Who knows...that's just my opinion.

Question CARRIER SAYS PHONE IS LOCKED BUT IT'S STILL USABLE

So I posted earlier about not getting OTA updates. Turns out apparently my phone is locked by Verizon as both they and Samsung have confirmed. What's weird for me however, is that I can still use my phone. I don't get any regional lock errors when I place my new simcard in. It works perfectly actually. Only problem I'm having is with the OTA updates. Does anyone know if it's possible to have your phone locked by a carrier but still be able to use it? If so, is it possible to unlock the phone without going through Verizon's 60 day period of network use? Looking online, all these sites keep talking about sending an unlock code. My phone doesn't request one so don't know what to do.

Hi
I'm not an expert on this but I did see this (for S20 but looks a similar situation):
Sim unlocked but OTA updates not
Hello everyone. I just bought what I thought it was an unlocked S20 Ultra over the internet and, nevertheless my sim card form my country works well (Im from México) the OTA updates dont work. The last security update it has is from March 2020...

Thanks for the reply Sir. I looked into it and yeah that is my exact issue. So I'll just go with the option to flash the latest update. What I wanted to know now is, since I've missed SOOOOOOO many of the previous new software updates, should I just fast forward to the latest or start one at a time?
Mine's also the Verizon model. I can't find the firmware update for SM-G998U but I read somewhere that it's alright to flash the SM-G998U1 Verizon update. Only problem is I'll lose all my data. Do you happen to know anything about that?

Mine's also the Verizon model. I can't find the firmware update for SM-G998U but I read somewhere that it's alright to flash the SM-G998U1 Verizon update. Only problem is I'll lose all my data. Do you happen to know anything about that?

Well I don't know but maybe someone in this Galaxy S21 Ultra forum will know.
