Hello guys, 2 days back got new one X + .I ordered from eBay & seller told me it's a international version. when I received I first checked for the update as it was running on 4.1.1. It showed phone is upto date. I installed cid getter & found cid is 11111111 & my [ro.aa.cidlist]: [TELUS001] , [ro.aa.project]: [EVITARE_UL_JB_45]. This means this is not international version it's a Telus variant . now I'm worried will I ever get an update because I'm here in India
Word on the street is that AT&T and Telus users will get the update within the next few months (Q4). Once the devs get their hands on it, you'll have something to flash pretty quickly.
So assuming we get the update, you'll get the update as well. Be patient, my friend
Isn't that supercid, cause as far as I know you will need to change the cid to a normal one to get the update?

Hi all,
I finally purchased the Telus Hero GSM Quad Band from Canada and its on its way to India thru FedEx. Bought the Hero without contract for 599$. Does this mean it is unlocked?
Since I have bought it now, what is my next job?
1. Unlock it by purchasing a unlock code.
2. Once unlocked, can I use it as it is? or it is mandatory to upgrade or downgrade the ROM?
3. Will post some more query when it comes to my mind.
Note: Did a search and it seems all threads were stopped answering from last November. So, started a new thread.
Expecting replies, since I do not want to keep Hero in hand as a dummy piece without knowing wat to do.
T i A
you will have to unlock it... then it will work when you pop a registered sim card in..(if the bands are correct) but im guessing you checked that already
Thnx for replying..now I am sure I have to unlock. but which website? Have waded in here and most vote goes to http://hero.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-Hero/
should I get one from them?
What about my second query? Is it mandatory to downgrade/upgrade my ROM?
oh sorry forgot about that... im honestly not sure about which site to use to unlock sorry, id go with one that i know people have gotn there money back from though...
and no it is not mandatory to do anything except unlock to use your phone, only install a rom if you want to
thnx a bunch m8..I am relieved now. I also believe that most ppl here who have unlocked their hero has used the link I have posted. Some have got their money refunded too if it doesnt work. Waiting for my package to arrive to knw the IMEI and start unlocking. Fingers crossed.
Guys, if you trust some other site who provides unlock codes, please suggest.
T i A
As for websites to unlock, I did some searching back in November when I got my Telus Hero. I ended up using http://www.unlock-hero.com/, as it seemed to be the most popular at the time. I had no problems with them and had my unlock code within 20 minutes. It's also well priced.
thnx for the sugg m8..need more and finally need to decide on one.
Hi there, i'm using a UK GSM Htc Hero and i have been patiently waiting for the 2.1 update to arrive! I noticed many people on here said the first update out of the two had arrived, and looking at the official HTC website, the actual 2.1 update is available. Now my problem is i'm using a standard Hero on 3, and i am yet to recieve any OTA updates at all!! my friend has a standard hero on T Mobile and hes already downloaded the first half of the update! what am i doing wrong???!!
thanks in advance, i am in the proccess of rooting right now.
Depends which network you are on...
If your are like me and stuck with T-mobile then I estimate a minimum of a week (they are testing it right now)
Orange: Expected in the "near future" again minimum of 1 week
Three: They confirmed it is going to be released Mid to late July...

Thanks a lot for the reply, its a shame they do this, first US gets the update and finally when it's available in the UK we have to wait even longer. I actually rooted my Hero today and installed the official 2.1 update with root access, its very good
I'm on T-Mobile, but I couldn't be bothered to wait for T-Mobile to release their version of 2.1 as they'll long it out, so I just used a generic HTC rom and ta-dah! 2.1 on my G2 Touch

Wow...
Never knew you could do that...
So where did you get the ROM from?
And
What will happen when T-Mobile release the update?
Hi all, I have one hour to decide whether to buy One or not, but t-mobile locked version only. I need to know what's the latest version that t-mobile One has, 1.26? 1.27?
thanks

In the US, 1.27, afaik. That's what's on mine. I don't think anyone in the US has 1.29, though that's what's now available in some parts of the world.
Thanks. So, you believe 1.29 could come soon on worldwide T-Mobile One too?

1.29 is currently available in some countries. There are links here, or at least in the vanilla HTC One forum for RUUs available for 1.29 now, though what their compatibility is with the T-Mobile version of the phone is, I'm not sure.
Coming at it from a different angle, custom ROMs for the One can have Android 4.2.2 right now, but that means giving up Sense, if that matters to you.
I wouldn't want to root it right now, thanks for the info.
Of course I have to be out of luck.
At 8PM I entered T-mobile and asked a lady if they have HTC One, she said "Yes we do, LTE version.", I said "great", of course. Since they work till 9PM, I wanted to ask the above mentioned question here, before deciding whether to buy it or not.
Finally, about 8:45PM I decide to buy it. Headed straight to T-mobile again, said I wanted to renew my subscription and buy the HTC One. She brings me HTC One SV. After a few attempts to explain her the difference, she said "ahhh, that One! We don't have it, it didn't arrive yet and we don't know when will we get it!".
Turned around and headed home.
Good work HTC
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.

I'm the same mate, I've got until tomorrow. Going to try the Huawei live chat again tomorrow to see if they can force an update. If not I'll see what three can do

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....

Hi I think I asked this question before and I can't remember if I got an answer I can't find it in searching so here it is. I own a pixel 6 which is now my wife's and it is from the Google store on Verizon network. I also now have a 6 pro that is Verizon branded so locked bootloader. My question are the ota different for Verizon I know some are but can I use the Verizon build on my wife's pixel 6 or does it have to be the global version? The reason I ask is because last week I put the global version on my pixel 6 pro and it worked fine well I mean the device was usable but now today I see i got an update for 7 mb and googling has 5old me that Verizon is only just now releasing 5he update. So while it still works it's missing something. I was just wondering if I should update my wife's pixel with the Verizon build also?
I think the answer is different every month. Sometimes they just have a global update, sometimes they are carrier specific. Google posts this info here:

I really don't think it matters. But why did you install the global version? Didn't the Vzw version come out at the same time? Nonetheless, take the small update and you should be fine. Is everything working ok? Many people have done what you did and I've yet to see anyone having problems that installing the other version caused. Worst scenario you'll reinstall the labeled update. Just make sure you tick the OEM switch in case.

The Verizon specific updates contain radio frequency changes that are specific to Verizon. Those changes have not yet been approved by other carriers, which is why they are specific to Verizon. In most cases, the next global monthly update includes the Verizon specific changes, so if you take the following global update you will also get the Verizon updates. You can take this months Verizon update to get the latest radio frequencies, or wait until next month's global update. It probably makes no difference which option you choose.

Oh I see so you didn't wait for the OTA but sideloaded it. If there is a Vzw specific one they've said before something like "for all except VZW devices" and then you were forced to wait. I think the small OTA you received would update the general build to the Verizon specific one but I could be wrong, I just don't know and it's hard to find the definitive answer. As stated above, I don't think you need to worry if everything is working. Take the OTA and forget about it.
I installed the October update!
New features and bug fixes.
Super smooth sailing from here on out.
