Went back to stock rom from Wind on Amaze (extracted from RUU 1.45.1500.1) - install went ok.
I know there are a few updates already yet my phone says it's up to date, but phone won't update; in hope that HTC will soon fix the pesky problem with data roaming charges even while it's disabled by default (I'm secretly hoping for OTA ICS upgrade
Is there an official Wind update?

1.46.1500.3 is the latest for Wind as of now
i HIGHLY doubt wind will update anything, considering their a new company, they wont be spending money on updates.
Looks like your question was answered. if there are no further objections...

Yes i know the phone is new and probably will receive updates atm but i just had a few questions.
I live in the US and currently have Tmobile USA. I'm planing to buy an unlocked phone (most likely in the US if i can) and run it on tmobile. Yes i know no 3g, wifi will do.
Question
1) How will updates work if i don't have the provider specified for the phone or a phone with no required provider?
(this should be the same as someone who has an unlocked HTC Dream phone with no other branding. Did you get updates? and if you did how?)
2) Since this phone will be HTC branded will I be able to obtain software updates such as Donut, Eclair, and Flan? (I don't mind manual updates )
you ll be able to get updates ota.. as long as your price plan has internet tariff or you have wifi spots ....doesnt matter your not with the intended provider. alternativley when these clever bots on xda dev find root...most probably be able to manually update.
thats what i was thinking, i will be using wifi.
I was kinda not exactly sure because i read that for the g1's the reason why people got updates at different times was because tmobile sends the updates in many different groups
well had the g1 but i got the update as soon as it came out and im using it orange. never put a tmobile sim in it. that was ota as well on a 3g connection...good luck anyways.
cool thanks for the info!
I hope this is correct, cos as far as i understood it, only the google branded handsets got updated OTA.
I know HTC have RUU programs for updating from PC's and that this was there preferred method that they wanted to use....
well as i always say always trust a senior....i imgained it was the same for hero(ota updates ..) if it is then there should be no problem, if what you say is correct than i have no idea whatsover but still recommend getting a hero, cos they are the nuts! hope this helps and cheers for the post r hedghog and for clearing things up
No probs. From what i hear, Samsung are going down the sideloading route for the Galaxy as well, instead of OTA.
I could of course be wrong, but that is what i heard.
I hope i'm wrong cos OTA is so much easier!!
Hi All,
I am a newbie here and I am not sure if my question makes any sense. Couple weeks back, I bought an Atrix 4g (US version), an unlocked version (the seller told me that this phone is unlocked using AT&T code) and I am using it with Vodafone (India) sim. It works perfectly and so far I didnt face any problems with this phone. But last week, I got an alert in my phone saying that software update (2.3.4.5.141) is available for AT&T users and enable wifi to download. However, I didnt download and install the update as I was not sure why is it saying the update is available only for AT&T users. Also wherever I read about this software udpate, the name 'AT&T users' comes along with that.
So my doubt here is, what will happen if I, who is not an AT&T user, download and install the software update in my phone ? will it cause any issues in the phone (like getting locked again or bricking the phone)
I have not done any modification like rooting or installing custom ROM and things like that and I am using the phone as I recieved it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I would personally NOT update the phone since the update would probably relock the phone for the ATT carrier. The update is great I heard.
By the way, when you boot up the phone, does the phone say unlocked in the top left corner of the screen on the Motorola dual core screen?

I've even heard people saying that updating using AT&T, from any rom with an unlocked bootloader, can cause bricks. I wouldn't update under any circumstances.
I hear people are having problems with the 2.3.6 AT&T update anyways, like APN/mobile network issues.

The phone the op means is unlocked by carrier not bootloader.

I believe that the update does not block your phone. The chip lock, as far as I know, is independent of the device firmware update. In your case, I would upgrade.

Oh, my bad. I think I realized that later. Sorry.
If the guy/girl you got the phone from stated they used an "AT&T" code, it might have been unlocked the official way, through AT&T, meaning you wouldn't have any problems updating. Just note that if you update, you may have problems like other people are having. I'm not sure if AT&T's fixed it, or if the problems were from the official update even. It may have been a beta build. I don't know.
I'd say go for it. Just note that rooting might be a problem after you update, if you decide to root it later. I'm not sure if we have a method of rooting for it yet. (I can't look it up right now, sorry)
So I am leaving Montana for south Korea soon and was pretty excited to learn that my Rezound is global capable. The only thing is I am unsure if it will work on a Korean SIM card, or how to do so. I am s-off running the first leaked ics ruu. Do I need to ruu to the global firmware? Or will any gsm capable roms work without a firmware update? Also, if there's any one out there who has been to south Korea and could give me some tips on providers to choose from it would be appreciated.

You need to install the official Global RUU, leaks can be problematic because they prevent you from getting OTAs on stock rom and may not be the latest, most stable software.
I think there have been like 2 official firmware upgrades and several leaks between what you are running and global.
You do need a GSM enabled ROM, and one that is based on the global firmware. Simplicity or Newts One XXX 5.08 may be good options for you if u want to stick with a Sense ROM.
You may still need to call Verizon re: international calling, although I wouldn't mention I was rooted.

Thanks for helping. I was a little unclear in my original post however; I actually am running Newts One XXX 5.1.0 currently (awesome by the way). What I am wondering though is this; will the fact that I am not on the global firmware mean that I will need to RUU update in order to get service with a South Korean provider. I do not plan on trying to remain with Verizon as I will be in South Korea for more than a year.

You will have to ruu to global firmware to obtain global radios to work with the global Rom

rezound in rok
I'm also heading to the rok and hoping to use my rezound. I'm on stock ics ota. I'm going to see what I get on a stock rom before I do any unofficial releases, but I expect to drop SMS capabilities or maybe data like you see in the states with a T-Mobile sim in. I arrive in Korea on the 31st so I'll update sometime late next week and let you know. I've been to Korea before and I believe we will have to go with SK Telecom as our carrier because it is the only GSM network. The other networks are cdma to the best of my knowledge. Hopefully my next update will be from my phone on a Korean network!
Rezound in South Korea update
In Korea now. I just flashed my phone from a stock OTA ICS, unrooted, s-on over to the Global RUU found on Androidpolice.
I have tried to buy just a sim card from several stores, SK, KT Olleh etc, and the stores all say that I have to go to the headquarters stores located in Seoul, Yongsan Train Station on the top floor. Apparently this is the ONLY way to get a sim for a global phone, other than having a korean national get one for you and give it to you. This weekend I will be going to the headquarters stores and getting a sim, Other problems you may run into are related to being a foreigner in Korea. They will sometimes not want to sell you a phone on a contract because you as a foreigner could disappear at any time without paying the bill. So, they will try to get you to buy prepaid. I don't want to deal with prepaid anything, but that may be a viable option to get a SIM card easily. Just buy a reallllly cheap prepaid phone that has a sim in it, pull the sim and throw it in your global enabled device. Unless you speak Korean, navigating to the headquarters and getting what you want may prove a bit difficult. Fortunately, I do speak Korean, so I will let you know how it goes.
I will update again once I actually have a Sim in my phone!
Thanks for the valuable information so far. I will be arriving there at the end of November and am looking forward to hearing more about how It's going for you there.

got a sim, no data!
Finally got a sim from KT Olleh today. The girl at the counter didn't believe me that the phone would work, but I got her to do it anyway. By the way, don't try to set up service for a phone anywhere in Korea on a weekend. They cannot activate a new phone unless its a weekday. So anyway, got it all setup and the girl sits there and plays with my phone for a while without saying anything to me. Then she tells me that the calling and texting is fine but the phone won't get a data signal. I asked her to set the APN, and she said she did. I checked it out and she had put in the KT APN as alwayson.ktfwing.com Looks right to me, and she seemed to know what she was doing for the most part. Then she started to go on about how Korea runs on CDMA for the most part and not GSM yadda yadda.
So, I have a Rezound, working for incoming and outgoing calls and text on KT Olleh, but no data signal at all. I might repost a similar message in another forum topic to see if any gurus have any advice on how to get it working. Also going to do some more research. I'm new to this but there is tons of information out there. I will post again once I have resolution or give up and buy a new phone!
PS Phones in korea can be REALLY expensive. Dropped 850 on my wifes LG phablet (optimus VU2)!!! Equivalent to the instinct in the states I think?
didn't flash twice
So, I am a phone noob, and did a lot of reading last night. Saw that most people flash rezounds twice anytime putting on new firmware etc. I think I will try that tonight and see if I pick up the data signal.
The ruu's generally need to be flashed twice. However I did not need to do so going to the global, the ruu automatically took care of everything.

website for kt olleh
Some helpful information that KT Olleh has to say about using a non-korean phone in Korea.
http://expatblog.kt.com/71
The rezound may not have the radio frequency that network uses. That would be the main problem as to why you aren't picking up data.

I am currently in Seoul and have rented an Evergreen Mobile Sim Card that works on KT Olleh's network. I am curious as to whether you were ever able to get your Rezound to work with their Data network, and if so, how? Mine works with Olleh Wifi for free but will not even recognize the 3G, despite my having changed the APN settings, and even going to the Evergreen Mobile office in Yeoksa-dong today (they said they couldn't get it to work after an hour of fiddling with it themselves).
Suggestions? Do I have to root?
Oh, and the link in your above post has expired. Could you summarize what KT said?
Thanks!

I am on the out of box firmware for the M9. I have gotten TWRP, Root and Badboys rom on my phone but am experiencing a very unusual problem of random Handsfree activations on any rom. I am aware that going onto the latest RUU is very difficult atm due to no S-Off, but I cannot find a solution as to why I am getting this happening. It causes the phone to go through half a set up phase and does a PRL and Profile Update. Are there any fixes or should I get a replacement for my M9? This problem really blows since I did the HTC Champions for my upgrade.
I was told switching sims might help but the new m9 uses a 63.05 sim versus the m8's 53.05 sim card and the site says they are incompatible.
I don't think it's that difficult, there are threads with the RUU and completely stock (x.xx.xxx.15) operating systems available if you need/want to start over from scratch. Assuming your out of the box software was 1.32.651.15

My only other concern was if I updated to the latest firmware, if it would stop the constant sprint updates on a custom rom.
I Would try latest firmware first.
OMJ thinks all you need is to relock for RUU to work.
The RUU has the latest OTA.
I think OMJ mentioned something about Extra HFA's (before OTA).
Let us know how it goes.
it's a known bug on 1.32.651.17...it's fixed on 1.32.651.30...I was having the same issue, very irritating...especially when I was trying to s-off & HFA kept interrupting
I am still facing this problem even after the update. I'm running the latest bad boys rom on the most up to date firmware and rom even with s off I'm still getting this hfa problem
Mine doesn't even seem to want to activate at all. I updated to 1.32.651.30 and it will just sit there at HFA and fail eventually. This is very frustrating because I opened up a phone number to try it out and can't even use this thing. I actually work in wireless and in fact every M9 I've sold (only a few) had a HFA problem which I thought was Sprint's fault, but I guess not. I don't even want to sell them at this point, because when I sell the S6 they activate in like 10 seconds. Ugh.
I'm Wondering if it's a sim issue. Or if getting an international rom would help.
Just got off the phone with tech support and there is now a workaround for this issue until they fix it. What you need to do is go into Mobile Data settings and change the mode to 'CDMA Only' and let it activate, then set it back to 'LTE/CDMA'. Worked for me.
So I tried to use a RUU for 5.1 update for AT&T. My device is unlocked being used under the T-Mobile network. I cannot get OTA updates. So when the RUU was occurring, the update failed and the phone was stuck on a download screen and it wouldn't load.
So I called HTC to help and they told me to hold down the power buttons w/ both the volume keys together. The phone seemed to start working with everything in tact, but then the phone constantly reboots. Especially when I play music, it makes static noises. I cannot seem to get it to be on for more than two minutes because it constantly restarts.
I plan on using my Uh-Oh carrier swap option to T-Mobile but rather fix it since it's a software issue and their troubleshooting doesn't seem to help.
Can anyone help me with my situation please? It's on 5.0.2 so far.
sounds like you didnt fully update with the RUU, try it again or you can do it the other way and flash the zip
Hello,
I didn't know where to post my problem and I'm not sure if it is worth creating another thread so here it is. I bought a new HTC ONE M9 ATT with stock software. Connecting to wifi, settings, system update and it says that there are no updates available for my phone. Why is that happening?
Thanks
