I have T-Mobile USA and have not received it. T-Mobile USA says 7720 is the latest for the HD7, yet some folks say they have it. Do you have it, and did you force it?

...not even the two guys who claimed to have it haven't posted yet....?
Got it. Forced it. Followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
Got tired of waiting. It was easy and the phone works fine.
Also forced mine, but can't find the article. I'm not unlocked.

Ok, all you need to do is read the rest of the article, especially update two where it states if your phone and setting no longer work to flash the language pack in the same way.

I think it does an auto back up. it's the first step that takes so much time. Not sure how to back it up from there.

That is because you are not able to force the Firmware update that is pushed with this - it is the firmware update that fixes the MAC address issue. Surprising that T-Mobile US are not pushing the update for just this reason, pretty sure it is against regulations to have the MAC address changing!
I received a replacement HD7 and the tmobile rep swears the latest software is on it, I will post back shortly.....

I suspect it will be latest available on T-Mobile network, ie 7720!
Just got 8701 without forcing but got a zune notification instead. Bootloader upped too. Surprised.
Unlocked TMO HD7.
TMOUS updating the HD7 today finally. Got a total of 3 updates. 7740, then 8107, followed by an update from HTC. Not sure what the HTC update did. Anyone have any ideas?
Its the firmware fix that fixes the MAC address changing on reboot...

I have bought a p8 lite from an online store. I received it with the balong firmware. How does it mean? That the phone has been modded by the seller?
What can I do? Flash the b046 firmware?
My phone is mono-sim and i want to keep it mono.
Thank you very much
That means that the seller had installed a wrong Rom for your phone version . If I were you I ask for another phone.
You bought a new phone or an used phone. And you bought it in an official store?
Anyway you can solve it more or less easily but you should tell it for the seller

I am interested too, because I have bought my P8Lite with B171.. and flashed the 2nd STEP of B132.. and then I've got the Balong error.. and now I don't know how to get back to B171 with no errors.
Thanks in advance.

you can revert it to B171 easy... only download B049 single sim FW and unzip it. you will see 2 folders - dload and vendor... copy vendor folder to sd card, rename it to dload (dont touch anything in folder) and do local update...
voila B171 is back

Thank you Vigo. I bought a new phone. I'm going to call them and ask for a complete refund.
The "Balong" is not an Error. It´s missing the Vendor Update (see bluedolphin post). The Vendor Update simply changes the Build name. Nothing more!
Balong is is the name of the HSPA/LTE/SoC Chipset. Produced by HiSilicon (owned by Huawei)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiSilicon
I asked about sixaxis not working on my firmware and someone said that its because i have balong build. So how come you say that it does not affect anything? I understand it changes the build name on build.prop but i think it does affect other things. Im going to flash the vendor folder of my fw and report back this weekend

Hi there,
Factory Reset/Full phone memory wipe will get back to any B1xx or B0xx build you have installed. I have done it many times, no issue at all. Before you do this ensure you have a backup of your data because your phone will get stock as "right from the box". After reset will stay around 3 min to reinitialize, then you can set up the device again, restore your data and you are good to go. :good:
Cheers.
Good morning!
I have the same problem here.
Got my splendid phone, and tried to debranding.

Yep the model is ALE-L21....
So i just need to unlock the bootloader you mean? Doesn't it mean that i lose the warranty?
Somehow I managed to throw softwer in the phone and now I verzion ALE - L21C432B170 , but I still have problems with wifi internet, I can not find any wifi network. I see on forums that people have a problem with that , but I want to know if someone managed to they understand what's the problem? Is it good this version for my phone . This is a model with two cards and everything works except the wifi network and I do not know that there maybe a hardware problem?
hi, I have one question. I have balong c50b311 firmware and emui 3.1... so my question is, when emui 4.0 and marshmallow 6.0 it is released, will I get notification in updater? and is my phone going to be able to perform that update? thanx
Hello on wich build are you?
If you are on b524 update directly.
If you are on b525 you can use the roll back package but personally I make real downgrade with full wipe and format.
One flash by fastboot, 2 by sd and you have a real clean system with B550 official marshmallow.. I make this at the same time I write this. (last week I have downgrade to b525)
It's why I downgrade again. With twrp I format all before the Flash by fastboot. Flash like a normal update the vendor to didn't see the balong bug and b170 then B550

Good Morning Toms89,
If you still need help, it would be useful if you could tell if you have Single or Dual Sim! If you have 2 IMEI numbers, you have Dual Sim and if you have only one IMEI, you have Single Sim.
In addition, it would be nice if you could tell me whether your P8 lite rooted and / or the Bootloader is unlocked

That's because you flashed a Dual-Sim Firmware on Single-Sim Smartphone.
Try to flash 171 from Carbon Tesla
If it doesn't work unlock your Bootloader and Flash C432B049 (install it also from Carbon Tesla) via Bootloader. Then install B171 with Updateapp and get OTA B199 ,B575,B585...
If you still need help, it would be useful if you could say whether your P8 lite rooted and / or the Bootloader is unlocked:fingers-crossed:

No need to stop it... When the update comes out to your phone ... You will be asked to update or not.. Just hit don't update and your good.
Hope she hits the right one
I was getting pestered to take the update constantly so I finally installed Debloater to stop it.
Here is a link to what I did:

It was extremely easy and it stopped the update prompts perfectly.
