How to figure out which G1 you have?

Greetings!
New to the Android scene and full of questions.
How can you determine from where did your G1 originate?
I recently bought an unlocked G1 from UK trough eBay (can't buy it where I'm from) but the installed version reads "kila-user 1.1 PLAT-RC33 126989 ota-rel-keys, release keys" which looks to me more like an USA version.
I would need it for a project, so my goal is to update it to Cupcake, either HTC's dev release or manual official T-Mobile update (once I'm sure of which release).
Big thanks for any pointers.

You have a US version phone. I'm not sure what else you are asking for. If your wanting to root it and load one of the custom roms here is the info.

Wasn't sure if it is an US or an UK version.
Thanks for the confirmation!

Froyo for epf21b uk

Has any one in the uk received froyo 2.2 for the uk nexus from vodafone. Is EPF21B the european nexus one and will it receive. The update? Thanks for your help in advance

Since the Nexus is completely unbranded, we have no part in the firmware development or approval process.
Google will be pushing updates directly to handsets in a phased deployment as normal. The phased roll-out will mean that some product codes will receive updates sooner than others, however this is entirely at Google's whim, rather than ours, and is done to prevent their download servers from being overloaded.

My phone keeps dropping calls and also turning itself off....
my mail app keeps erroring and is unusable
is there a way to force my phone to update?

There has been no European froyo build yet, hence no OTA updates. I am guessing that once the American Froyo is finalised, Google will release a European build after that. Else, if you want to try it now, just unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery, and Paul's FRF83 ROMs.

These two links should answer most of your questions:

Paul's FRF83 images are stock ROMs packaged in update.zip format which can be flashed from custom recovery. You can get them here - http://android.modaco.com/content/g...-frf83-stock-rooted-deodex-superboot-repacks/
Or you can use Modaco Custom ROM, which is somewhat similar - http://android.modaco.com/content/g...or-nexus-one-with-online-kitchen-froyo-frf83/

Any Uk froyo OTA info?

T-Mobile N1 Vs Vodafone UK N1

Hello
I am wondering something... Vodafone UK N1 is supposed to have different Android ROM than the T-mo N1... If you root the phone etc. will the... let's say FRF91 work on it just like a Tmo N1?
Thnx for the answer and yes I searched a bit but didn't find it since it was probably asked before.
Thnx again

My friend have a Vodafone germany N1 which I think is the same N1 as the UK
Its starts with EPF30 build
He have already root it and now using the FRF91 Stock ROM
Everything seems running.

Thnx for the info love ya

Official FROYO announced by SFR

Hi,
I found this :
http://www.frandroid.com/51647/sfr-presentation-du-calendrier-des-mises-a-jour-des-androphones/
Basicly, it's a listing of every phones SFR (french vodafone) is going to update with dates.
Here's the thing :
Thanks FrAndroid for the news.
PS: it's written "(est.)" which is the short for estimation, just to be clear.
PS2: that means a stable froyo SenseUI rom in a near future

Thanks Sympnotic, but i'm more excited about gingerbread!

Thanks Sympnotic. Some light on Froyo tunnel for Wildfire !

SFR released the legend 2.2 OTA update, it was planned for the 17th december, we're only the 9.
I'll do *#*#checkin#*#* to see if something appears for our wildfires
edit: I might have been too excited but Legend had their updates one month ago, didn't read 17/11 but 17/12 as I don't see the point to include an already released update on a Roadmap.

Vodafone (NL) updated their Legends already 15/11, the unbranded phones are updating now. So 17/11 is the right date.
But that means that vodafone will give the update in about 4 days, and HTC maybe in less than 2 weeks?
Because they're busy with Legend right now.
I hope so

Yep, I know but thanks for pointing it out here.
Well, if SFR release the update before HTC, it would be easy to grab just the SFR rom, purge it from their bloatwares (sfr wifi / tv / account - apps) and add more languages to make it a WWE rom.

The Wildfire from a friend of mine has recieved an update today.

How do the updates work? Does your phone do it automatically? are you notified first?
I'm on 3 in the UK
Edit: But it's a Vodafone Wildfire which I had unlocked (if that makes a difference).

You can either reflash your phone with a RUU from Shipped roms (must have HTC Synch installed to use RUU's) or you could wait for Danne_jo to release a UK version of Froyo (as we all know he'll be the first(he he))

U need to make goldcard
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

you cant put lower software over higher even with goldcard. you need downgrade you system to lower or same as you want. and it is wrong topic

thanks for the info, though... I believe they are releasing 2.2.1 for wildfire? Since modaco and cyangen have somehow picked up a leaked froyo for wildfire.

Not cyanogen, they work on raw code released by Google. Hence cm is way different from other repackaged roms.

N960U1 in the UK

Hi all,
I bought an unlocked note 9 from eBay which arrived today. I got it set up and went to begin installing a different firmware to be able to get the one UI update - only to find out it's a N960U1! I'm in the UK so was expecting/hoping for a N960F.
It's all working, calls work, I've pulled over 3GB of data today all nice and fast, texts working etc. If I was the 'average user' I wouldn't know that it's not a UK one...
My question is, am I likely to hit any road blocks? As long as the radios all work I can't imagine there being any and the play store has all the apps I use available. I'm just wondering if I'm at any advantage/disadvantage?
Thanks

I'm on the same boat (I mean, a similar situation because I'm not in the UK I'm in El Salvador). When I received my phone I started looking for the new UI, but I noticed that I had a very old android build version (I was in September security patch, I received my phone February 11) I started reading about and found out that N960U is the branded version of the note in the US. I wanted to update by Odin to one UI but I was afraid to get my phone carrier locked so after reading a lot more, I found that you can update using the right firmware for the phone (N960U) you don't lose carrier unlock and in my case after installing updates, I don't even have any bloatware.
Now, after this context history, I can tell you that the only thing that will affects is any "radio band enhance" or "carrier feature" and that's because you will not be able to install any UK carrier software to that version because N960U and N960F are different hardware, not just software.
Maybe there is another road block that is about updates, I'm on 9.0 but with January security patch, I have not received any new update. To be hones I'm not sure if there is a new one, so I need to wait to confirm that OTA updates are working for me, if not I will take the time to update by ODIN again haha so that's not something that will drive me crazy, and also related to this I think that N960U android versions are coming faster than I thought, some of my friends with N9600 are still stuck on 8.1
If you want to upgrade go to the following thread, there you will have enough information to update.

Awesome, nice one dude
I used Odin on my previous S8+ to be able to install the one UI beta and that worked fine. Though it did come with a couple of apps that were a part of that carriers firmware (three UK)
I'm aware that the F uses an exynos processor whereas the U is Snapdragon and have seen a couple of guides already. Though they use AT&T firmware and, from what I've seen, have bloatware that would literally be useless to me.
I'll have a look at the guide you linked.
I'd like to have one UI again, but can happily live with the Samsung experience UI if I had to.

Option1:
You can flash the Pie beta since you're running U1, there isn't an official release of Pie as yet.
Option2:
You can switch your device to the U firmware and flash the latest OTA however you would have to manually update each time because you won't be getting an update automatically.

How come the U firmware wouldn't get OTAs?
My S8+ was flashed to get the beta and that received OTA updates.
If I'm to go onto one UI I'd want it to get OTA updates still. If that means waiting for an official release then so be it
On a different note, I installed an app to get the FM radio working today. Can't do that with the UK exynos version ?

Because on the U most OTA comes from the carrier (ATT & VZW) while the rest comes from Samsung.
U1 all updates come from Samsung but U1 updates are months behind.
Advantage of running U firmware is you always get to be on the latest OTA as one is available.

So correct me if I'm wrong but to simplify what you're saying:
The U gets the latest updates sooner but comes with carrier bloat
The U1 gets non bloated updates but Samsung doesn't release then until months later?
I'll leave it and wait if that's the case. I'd be more bothered about having bloat than One UI

Well yes the U comes with bloatware but the amount varies according to carrier, but since you're in the UK. Your CSC will read as XAA/XAA so therefore I doubt you would have any bloatware.
I know this because I myself had own a US device while using in the UK.

My current carrier software version version is XAA/XAA and theres no bloat so I know what I'm hunting for now

Right so even if you switch to U firmware it would still remain XAA/XAA because that would be the default CSC code for Unbranded for American model. F model is normally XEU or BTU

When I did the S8+ I had to go through a pretty big list to find the BTU firmware so assumed I'd have to do the same for the N9
I might give it a go if I get a chance this week

Seeing as you have the US variant of the Note 9. You may have issues receieving connecting to certain networks outside the US. As most US Networks use a different LTE band from the EU/UK
