Hello.
I have a table 10.1 purchased in usa but i live in UK and my IP is london. Would I need vpn to look like I'm in the usa to get the Touchwiz update from tomorrow?
Same here...USA tablet living in France...we're gonna see this tomorow ;-)
Same here. US tablet in Germany. Will report back tomorrow
same tablet in Vietnam
Glad to hear I'm not the only one
Hopefully it'll work... I wonder how fast or slowly they'll roll out... I work in software and we never release on friday in case things go wrong!
Well ever if it isn't released Friday in the UK i'm sure you can update via odin or CWM once a copy becomes available on here.

I bought my Tab in the US a few weeks ago, and it just pulled down the touchwiz update this morning via wifi. Took a while to install, but first impressions are pretty good.

Still no sign of ICS for UK?
I can't check myself as i have a unlocked boot!
Yep, still waiting
No sign of it yet mate

Really? I got mine 2 days ago. I am on UK t-mobile.
When you do get it, one tip. Once it is installed, reboot then leave the phone alone for 20 minutes or so. The walkman app would constantly crash for me. It was only when I looked a the debug logs that I found it was rebuilding the media database. This took ages.
I miss the volume on the lock screen, access to the settings menu from the menu key on the launcher, but otherwise its all good. Oh, and Gallery is now called Albums. Took me a few minutes to work that out.

can you upload ftf please
Sim free UK.. no sign of ICS, TBH the phone works very well with 2.3.7.. more concerned with the wee blotches that pop up every so often.

so where does that leave us folk who bought sim-free handsets?
i'm actually with t-mobile, but i bought the handset sim-free because i was so sick of my wildfire s breaking down....actually went to t-mobile to try and buy this handset from them and upgrade my contract at the same time, and got told that there was nothing i could do until my contract was up next october (2013), which is why i bought it sim-free :s

Same here, and it's not as if there's any bloat in the tmobile firmware only the tmobile app that you can download from the play store
there ain't a Generic NL ICS either
I checked this morning and no update was available, but plugged my phone in this afternoon and it says an update is now available (I have already updated to .75, so it must be ICS?). It goes through the process of downloading the update, but at the install stage it says no software found! Very frustrating...
Edit - I'm using PC Companion, and the problem seems to be that as soon as it starts to install the update the phone shuts down and loses connection to the PC, so the update fails...

Yep, with 3. The new software version is 6.1.A.0.452, which I've just checked definitely is ICS. SO frustrating I just can't get the update to install. The update downloaded fine, but when it gets to the actual update stage the phone shuts down and the update fails.
So 3 are actually good for some things! I actually wrote to David Dyson this morning asking to be released from my contract - they have messed me about massively - broke my phone then in comical fashion failed to fix it, and then offered me a HTC Chacha or HTC Desire C in it's place!!! I would have laughed if I wasnt so offended!
Edit: 7th time is a charm and I now have ICS on generic UK with 3...
SEUS should work most of the time, PC companion sucks... :/
Ah great, does your SI number finish with 3114?

Before I checked the forum I searched google for a UK update and found that Customers on the network 3 can now upgrade to ics. I upgraded manually using the Switzerland flashtool thingy bob. It's slower at times but does look a lot better

i've tried sony update service (the one where you switch phone off, hold volume while connecting usb), tried pcc, tried ota from the phone, always says i'm up to date.
I am on TMobile/Orange, my phone is still showing no update. I have tried the Zune trick to force the update, no joy. Anyone else had the same issue?

I think you're fine, still no update on my unbranded one. Same thing for my gf's 710. Microsoft said that all the phones will have gotten the update within the end of the month, but I guess it was just bs.

That's because the Orange firmware has been approved, O2 one is still waiting to be approved
Im on O2 here in the uk also, got tired of waiting for the update so did it by myself following the link below.

IMPORTANT If You Try the Disconnect Trick..
Make sure your phone has Wifi OFF and Cellular Data OFF before.
I had almost bricked my phone trying to cab Tango since for some reason the language packs would not install; but then installed Navifirm files updated to Tango by renaming another product's code to match mine, and since the language packs were now resolved, I went ahead and cab'd the Nokia firmware update. This weekend with 7.8 on the horizon and perhaps other updates coming sooner (8779?), I didn't want a walshed phone, so got the 8107 Mango files for my product code (059L7C2) from NCS Data Package Manager, refurbished then went back to Zune to do the Tango update.
After many tries, was not having any luck, even though the Nokia site showed my product 059L7C2 as being available, not to mention at least two others with my same product code reporting the disconnect trick working..
Someone else posted on another thread about turning WIFI and DATA off as a first step. Once I did, after one or two tries the update finally came up.
After the first step - installing 8112 - I had to use the same disconnect to get the update for 8773. Again, with the two items turned
off, there was no trouble at all, the update came right up after I pulled the Ethernet cable.
Once 8773 installed, Zune picked up the Nokia firmware update immediately (no disconnect) so I am finally now running Tango.

Well, as it is now just the 9th of the month I guess we have another three weeks. The rollout started little under two weeks ago and was said to take 3-4 weeks. Add the Zune server lag and you end up end of this month..

Oh well, I'm not in a rush or anything. I'd just love to get it before august, basically because I'm getting a Transformer for my bday so I'd love to have that hotspot thing while I'm on vacation.
Also, for some stupid reason I'm unable to force the update, no matter what...

microsoft has a very weird policy to release updates region wise and not world wide..i guess only thing u can do is to be patient..!!!!
hopefully in the upcoming weeks you might get an update.!!!
This morning I realized that my phone had not received any OTAs yet, so I sideloaded the MDA89D to MDB08K zip (find it here) and then got the MDB08L OTA notification as soon as the phone booted up.
In talking with friends with a 6P and looking at other threads, there seem to be a lot of users that are still on the factory MDA89D build, so I'm wondering if the delay is carrier specific.
FWIW, I activated my 6P without a SIM card and then have been using it with T-Mobile. Checking available updates always showed nothing was available.
It seems like Verizon users are not getting OTAs yet, as expected from an existing thread. T-Mobile users *should* be getting one since they are turning Band 12 off with it.

OTA got nothing to do with carrier you are on.
Sent from my Nexus 6P
I did not receive the OTA, but I did flash the new factory image as soon as I unlocked the bootloader.
yes just received phone in the mail today after setting everything up I got the OTA update installed with no problem
I simply just change the date few weeks forward. I didn't receive both updates soon so I just fast forwarded date a little. Then updates pop up on both times. Should give it a try before going on a manual flash route.
Didn't have to do anything, it just arrived while I was updating my S5 to 5.1.1.
Was reading an article recently where a Google engineer explained how updates go.
1% get the update first, if no problems
25% get the update, if no problems
50% get the update, if no problems
Etc etc
No mention of a time frame between percentages though.
I got the device Friday, on k version, got the l update earlier today.
Expect to see them monthly as Google is releasing security updates on a monthly basis now.
Need one for carrier less. Updated before putting sim in.
Got an OTA this AM on Fi Sittin on MDB08L. I have an unlocked bootloader as well.
I got my 6P today and turned it on. As soon as I signed into my Google account it told me that I required a software update. Didn't even finish the setup wizard before it downloaded and installed.
I ordered through Project Fi as soon as I got my invite. They sent the sim with it and I put it in and turned it on. Boom, update.
Yep got one today.

Interesting method, if the updates are IMEI based as it is believed, this shouldn't work.

It's interesting to see that, so far, most voters who have not received an update are on another carrier (or carrier-less), or Verizon. I was interested in seeing what Sprint users are experiencing, but there has only been one Sprint user voting so far (a friend on Sprint has not received any).

Unfortunately, I can't edit it, but, no carrier would fall under "Other Carrier"

Already flashed the update through mskip's toolkit. No wiping of data required though it flashes the whole ROM, not just the update (900mb).
I'm on AT&T. I got the first OTA when I turned the phone on for the first time, but where the hell is the November security patch? I thought it was supposed to start rolling out on November 1, yet it is November 10 and I still don't have it? What the hell Google? I understand a slow rollout of a major update, but security patches should be available to everyone on day 1, if not automatically, then sure as hell if they press the damn update button in settings. This is why companies don't take Google seriously when they talk about security.
I click "Check for Update" and nothing happens, says last time it was checked was November 30th. Tried rebooting, rebooting with no sim card . . . any ideas??
Just got one. Taking FOREVER to optimize apps. Painfully slow.
Just got my update through Telus in Canada. Installing right now.
just got 128gb 6P and got it activated on Sprint .. OTA about 15-20min after
As above, is there anyway to download the above firmware other than funkyHuawei? I dont think its right i should have to pay $35 for 5 credits when Huawei should release the OTA update to fix several problems with there device, especially a phone that doesn't work over WiFi!
I guess you could email Huawei, or your operator. It doesn't exist outside of FH, not sure how he got his hand on it.
Or you could rebrand to C432 or C636.
No way to do this unfortunately. You could contact Huawei but they will ask for your IMEI, then tell you the update is being rolled out.
Luckily I don't have the WiFi problem, but a few other smaller problems which could do with an update.
Maybe the phone doesn't like certain routers. Not sure.
I emailed Huawei last week but doubt anything good will come out of it. So is the firmware over at FH unofficial?

A select few have said they got it as an OTA so I don't think so, unless they used FH
I talked to Huawei live chat and they confirmed that this update is rolling out to UK users, just a waiting game.
I'd use funkyhuawei if it was a one time purchase but having to buy 'credits' every time I want to flash an update just doesn't justify value to me.
Guess I'll wait for the OTA

Exactly, why should we pay for a official ota update !!!! What is really bugging me is the fact im having to use my data plan as the WiFi doesn't work. If i dont get a ota very soon im going to return my handset as i dont get long to return anyway.

Let me know how you get on, im still waiting on an email reply as the chat was down. I bought mine sim free from amazon so i dont see why im waiting for a OTA unless its because i stuck a Vodafone sim card in it?
Hi, I got the BLA-L09 8.0.0.124 update about a fortnight ago (bought unlocked from CPW in Nov.) and did receive the update OTA..... did NOT buy anything from FH. So, can confirm it is a UK OTA update, so, should roll-out eventually...bit of a pain though for anybody playing the IMEI waiting game...
When checking for ota, sometimes you have to click the 3 dots in the upper right and click install full package.
Another thing sometimes i was getting ota update on Huawei's phones after a factory reset directly,i would do it from the stock recovery,but don't feel bad if this doesn't work for you, it's up to you if you can't wait and want to try.

Think I am going to send it back. Apart from having a bit better battery and brighter screen than my U11+, the software is a mess and the audio via every dongle is worse.
Don't think the sim card you used has anything to do with it really. Just IMEI lottery which is stupid tbh lol
What is in this update? In the Change Log it says, "No information". Google search doesn't return much except a reddit thread where someone said, "I purchased a sim free mate 10 pro from CPW which was running 115 (c782) flashed this fine but since I always get an EE app even after a factory reset, help?" I too bought Sim Free from Carphone Warehouse and am worried I'll get EE spam on my phone (I'm an EE subscriber), so need to know if it is worth updating.

If you pay the money and update via FunkyHuawei you will likely get some EE branding. If you wait for the official OTA update, it will stay with the carrier branding you have at the moment.
It appears that FunkyHuawei has managed to get hold of the EE version of the latest firmware.
Three?

Still no reply from Huawei, they have till the end of the week to reply back to me otherwise im sending it back for a one plus 5T. The more i use the phone the more faults i find, Today i used google maps to navigate me to an address, is so jerky and not smooth at all, really bad.
I spoke with Huawei regarding the bugs I have with this phone on firmware 115 and the update to fix them.
They took my imei . They told me there was an update that is approved for ota waiting for me.
I told them both ota and hi suite say there is no update for my phone.
They then tell me the update is automated and rolled out in batches and I must then wait for the update notification....
