I have an O2 UK locked Z2 (D6503) and as many people am waiting for the 4.4.4 upgrade to be released. O2 Germany have this morning released version 23.0.1.A..3.9 (according to XperiFirm). My question is, if I install this version onto my UK handset, are there any implications I should be aware of?

23.0.1.A.39 is NOT available yet, if you click on O2 Germany it goes back down to .314.
Only difference is bloatware maybe be in German.
EDIT: As of about 5min ago the firmware seems to now be avliable.
Flashed 23.0.1.A.39 O2 DE and have been using it for a couple of hours. I have to say, it's blistering quick. All of the bloatware can be removed. WiFi strength (5Ghz) is much stronger, and PS4 remote play is superb. All in all very happy, even though I know ROOT is probably some time away.

Hi,
A couple of members from Belgium are reporting they bought a 10.1v tablet with no signs of Vodafone on it. Not on the tablet and not in the software.
I bought my tablet from Vodafone and I have Vodafone saying on the back.
I am not seeing any signs of Vodafone in the software, I have no simcard installed if that matters, I am on Wifi only.
I have seen one testvideo of the 10.1v where the guy was saying there were some Vodafone settings in the software!
*****
Do you see signs of Vodafone in the software?
The Belgium members have the latest firmware P7100BUKE2.(3.0.1 HC)
Who is responsible for putting this firmware on the tablet.
Samsung, I quess.
Why is it, other 10.1v users cannot get this firmware from Samsung.
I don't understand.
******
Guys from Belgium!, Samsung Netherlands wrote to me they won't support software for the 10.1v, I have to contact Vodafone for updates.
They only will support hardware issues.
I am really curious how things will turn out for you.
*****
Maybe you guys have one of these tablets already.
This is a confusing article I must say (posted by another member) but look at the date, it is pretty recent.

Yeah, it is sad, isn't it.
I just read on tabletsmagazine that Asus is rolling out 3.2 tomorrow for the Transformer here in The Netherlands.
Hi
Does any one know if orange branded firmware has come out for the xerpia ray?
would it void my warranty if i debrand?
also battery life seems really crap, anyone having same issues? done the usual features off etc. my galaxy s lasts for about 3 days with general useage
Don't know about an Orange 2.3.4 Rom mate. I don't think Sony have released it to the uk yet, so I think there'll be a bit of a wait after that for orange to do their worst.
Officially, you're voiding your warranty. Unofficially, once you send a phone back to orange, I don't think they're bothered whether it's debranded.
I've debranded and installed the central European Rom. Battery life is better.
Hey everyone
I just received my Lumia 920 today. Phone is amazing!
it came with the cv-HK firmware (country varient Hong Kong?) since I ordered it through mobicity.com.au and they get their stock from Hong Kong :S
I have flashed the latest Australian stock ROM (cv-AU) and was wondering if I will receive updates in the future?

Who knows for sure.....but....I've done Navifirm flashes before and this has never prevented updates from taking place. I'm sure if it had, others might have posted this before. You should be ok....

Thanks for the reply
I was pretty much wondering the same thing. I think my 920 is unbranded but I don't want to wait 'til Feb to get the updates so I was wondering about using Navifirm as soon as suitable firmware appears for my phone.
Does anyone out there know if this will mean I'll always have to manually update in the future or will I get notifications like everyone else on the firmware I install?
Thanks.
Edit: Turns out my phone isn't unbranded. Now I'm tempted to de-brand. If only game saves could be backed up.
I'm intrested too with this.
I bought my 920 in Italy and flashed using navifirm with the world fw unbranded. Now i'm in Brazil and not getting the update.....can't tell if because it's not available here or because i flashed.......any opinions?

I just realised, that when I had my Lumia 800, I flashed the unbranded aus ROM over the Telstra one, and I received updates straight away.
So, it shouldn't be an issue when an update is released.

Yeah Nokia have only released the new Portico update for certain carriers in certain markets so far. They also said it would be available across the globe in February 2013 (which I believe is an under-promise) and should be available around January sometime.
Trust me, if you have flashed a different region ROM, you will still receive the updates. I have flashed and re-flashed the crap out of my Lumia 800 and 900 last night and they both keep receiving updates. Lumia 920 will be no different. Once the update is available in the region of your ROM, the phone will get the update.
Hi All,
I am hoping someone knows the answer to this. I am in Australia and still waiting on the Note 2 4.4 F/W release whilst most other counties got it months ago.
Does anyone know are Samsung firmwares for different countries all developed from the same place with the same dev team etc or is each region responsible for pushing out the firmwares for the devices in their region with their own dev teams etc?
I ask because my carrier has been advising since July it was coming since August and since then each month they post a new update saying sorry delayed again new ETA..
The thing is, this behavior is not limited to Kit Kat, this device only nor is it only limited to carrier branded firmwares too...
As an example the same thing happened with 4.3 was released elsewhere and months later we got with the initial released scheduled for early December with it being delayed and finally dropping in February. Furthermore other Galaxy flagship models suffer the same fate with the Aussie F/W always being delayed. And now let me mention the fact that my friend has a Galaxy Note 10.1 tab N8010 which is wifi only and unbranded so is only dependent on Samsung making the F/W available directly and it is still waiting for 4.4
I wanted to state that because Samsung are trying to pull the wool over my eyes with their replies to email questioning the delays in Aus telling me it's the carriers fault for the delay and that in fact the carriers have the F/W already and just don't want to release it. I know that is BS because the Australian unbranded non carrier reliant 4.4 has not already been released yet and before Samsung can give the carrier their firmware thy have to develop the unbranded version first and then make a version based off this with the carrier bloatware etc..
Anyway I am curious to know where these F/W are developed because if Australia has to hire their own dev teams and push out the F/W releases for Aus devices then it makes sense why we are so delayed clearly the Aus dev team is crap! But if all the F/W worldwide are developed from the same place then I don't know why AUS F/W are so delayed.
For the record I am already on the Nordic 4.4 months ago because of this constant issue but that's beside the point I would much prefer to have my own carrier version loaded up with the carrier modems etc esp since I want to sell it soon so I want to sell it loaded with the correct stock F/W
Thanks!
Hello mates
I'm lookin forward to buy my first huawai device, but I'm not sure where I should buy the device. Let me explain this a litte bit more:
I could buy the Mate 20 Pro directly from Switzerland, for a very good price. But I also coud buy the device from Germany, also okayish price.
Now I'm not sure if it is a difference if I buy a non branded device from one of these countries, in the term of how I receive Updates.
In the past I used a Samsung Device bought in Switzerland, and my German Neigbours got their updates Months before it was availible in Switzerland.
Do you know if Huawai also uses different Region Updates, or is there someone, who owns the device from switzerland/germany who is at the newst version, were they released on the same date?
If you're in CH , buy in CH for the guarantee. As for the updates, they are really random on Huawei. I got my M20P friday (from CH), I put my SIM inside and got the -.122 (two patches) directly. Some people who got their phones in the UK, but live in the UK, depending of which SIM they put inside they did or didn't get the last update. For example people who had an EE or O2 SIM didn't get the update, they then swapped to a Vodafone SIM and got their update right away. There is THREAD discussing this.
