Any news yet for the latest update for Three branded phones?
There wont be yet - but when I had a Three branded One X I remember them being one of the quicker networks getting the updates out but it could still be a couple of months after the unbranded update hits the UK
O2 and Vodafone UK appear to be pushing the updates already. I'm waiting for Orange/T-Mobile UK.
How can there be such a big discrepancy between Three and Vodafone etc. Vodafone ireland released the update today but nothing on Three at all - are they just slow getting these things out?
Wonder if they'll be any quicker than they were releasing the jelly bean update for the HTC One X? Took 3-4 months in total after most other networks. That's why I vowed never to purchase a handset from Three UK again.

Three Ireland told me mid May for update? who knows though they didnt mention a year haha
Totally worth waiting for S-OFF and move over to stock HTC ROM - I cannot see that Three do anything worth while to their version anyway...
i unlocked the bootloader last night! how does S-ON affect the phone? Does it just mean no OTA updates?
Three UK informed me it was in testing. A few more weeks isnt going to hurt anyone. Rather have a bug free update.

The base for the 3 UK update will be the stock HTC update. Any bugs in this update will not be altered by 3.
The only bugs that 3 will need to sort out are the ones that they introduce with there bloatware.
any further news yet??
I missed a call from 3 re the software update. Will ring them back soon.
Ok, it's not far away. 2 weeks max. Apparently 3 sold a lot of HTC One's
As spikeydoo2006 said, 3 UK were one of the slowest carrier to update ota on one X
I would be very surprised if they're any different with One.
If you want the latest update now on 3 branded One then flash a custom Rom.
ARHD is very close to stock in appearance, I have been using on my One for several weeks

Nothing at all, keep checking every day...
This thread has gone very quiet. Why?
Any news from 3 ?
Wrong thread.. Ignore
Have been away on holiday for the past week or so, was hoping that there would be a nice update ready for me on my return. Guess not. Still nothing. Poor show Three! :crying:

Afternoon gents,
I am trading my iPhone 4 for the HD7 but i don't get very good signal with O2, so i was thinking about buying the handset unlocked and then putting a Vodafone contract SIM in it.
But, will this affect phone updates as carriers control WP7 updates?
Thank you.
You will have to wait for O2 to push updates as it will have an O2 ROM on it (O2 splash logo, locked yahoo search etc).
The only way around this is to flash a Euro branded ROM using Goldcard (exactly what I did) or one of the other methods floating around in the dev thread.
What about buying the phone from one of the East Asia compaines?
Found a site which offers the handset for £250 - checked reviews everywhere and all have recieved their items without fault.
One would assume that these devices would not have the O2 ROM?
No problem with Asia Phone
I bought my HD7 from an Asian shop on ebay. No problems whatsoever and I am also on Vodafone. I did use the disconnect trick and am now runing the nodo update with no issues. I also got my 16GB phone a LOT cheaper.
Crack on, it's well worth it!
Edit: Of course it was completely inbranded

Did Zune tell you that an update was available?

You'll be fine i bought my via o2 but same reason due to poor data signal i ported over to vodafone, and it works brilliantly, update is fine, recently HTC push the NoDoUpdate via ZUNE and everything is runing smoothly.
Same here, I've been on Vodafone for years but pre-ordered a PAYG HD7 from O2 then just got it unlocked and has been great since.
Granted I did flash the latest Euro ROM using GOLDCARD so have no problems with updates or anything but all in all very much glad I sold on my iPhone 4 when I did, thankfully found someone nice to buy it and paid what I did as got a Unlocked one straight from Apple when they first came out.
If i bought a HD7 from the O2 shop, how would i go about unlocking it?
Would this also remove the O2 boot logo?
(You'll have to excuse my stupid questions, i do computers not phones )
You could either pay a unlock site to give you a unlock code or if you know a O2 Contract Customer they can fill out the unlock code request form online and request one for free. If you do it that way it may take two or three attempts as some guys email back and say no cos it's a contract phone but then somebody won't check as much and just issue the code, know loads of people done it this way, took 2 attempts to get mine.
As for the branding NO it would not get rid of it, to do that you would need to flash the phone with a different ROM like a HTC Euro ROM using such as the GOLDCARD Method. This will not make any difference to your unlock status so you know so you can't unlock it by flashing another ROM, and you can flash as often as you want and it won't relock the phone, once it's unlocked it's unlocked.

If you had to do the disconnect trick then it isnt de-branded.
The debranded HD7s got the update on the day of release.
I got my HD7 from O2, unlocked it through O2, and then left and went to 3.
I also did the debranded as said on here, which was nice and easy, and I got the nodo update on the day of release

I assure it is unbranded and the update was not available on the day of release as reported all over the web. I have since however rolled back the update and received the official update with HTC additions via Zune.
The official 2.3.3 OTA update has been out for a while. Why my IS still haven't got the update notification? When I went to the setting and checked for update, it always says "your phone is up to date". My IS is running 2.2 and unlocked.
I've got the same issue. I wrote an email to HTC Support asking them whether it's a region based problem or something else. I'm using an unlocked Singapore-bought Incredible S, brand: htc_asia_wwe. I'm hoping they reply soon. It's annoying 'cause I live in europe and most of the people over here have the update already. Is there a way to migrate to an european brand?
If your phone is branded, it can take longer before you get the update, because your "brander" (your phone company) needs to make their costum apps ready for the update.
My phone (not branded) is updatet, but my wifes phone (branded) is not.
Kind regards
Jmich
Ok, next question then. How do I de-brand it? My phone is S-On (I checked today). I can't seem to find any other way than XTC Clips. Should I just wait for the OTA update to come to the damn Singapore carrier?
Tried internet pass-through method. It never worked.

You need to create a Gold Card in order to do this with S-On. Search the forum and you will find a lot posts about how to do it.

Please let me know how they respond your email.
One more thing, how do you get the brand "htc_asia_wwe"? My phone is unlocked and I could not find such info in my IS's setting.

htc_asia_wwe is identifying the region the rom is made for. It's not a brand.

regarding your issue,
the andriod 2.3 software has been released for the htc incredible s, for unbranded devices.

The address you linked to has 'UK' in it. The site is regonalised, if you go to your region you will most likely find that entry missing

I am using an unlocked IS with Orange UK, but have not received the update, is that normal? Any one with Orange UK got the update?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Branded IS (orange, rogers etc) will receive updates only when the 'branders' or carriers release the same.
Regarding the issue of the unlocked IS, with the Asia firmware being used in UK, it is possible that the system is recognizing updates for that region.
In all probability, Asia has not received the GB update yet.
So your options are:
1) wait for the release to be complete all across the world. When asia receives the update, so should your phone.
or
2) unbrand the phone, load a WWE rom and you should be able to update.
this, as indicated is available in a lot of posts in this forum
Sorry I did not make myself quite clear, I am using an unbranded and unlocked IS, just put an Orange SIM in it...
Also, this is an UK version bought from carphone warehouse...

Strange, I got the UK update on Saturday afternoon, though it won't install as I have a clockworkmod recovery on my phone. CPW with Vodafone contract sim.

I'm in the UK, I got the update.
In the process of negotiating an upgrade deal. Currently on Voda.
Just wanted to know the difference between getting the phone from Vodafone or P4U.
Does the branding make much difference ??
branded phones seem to get updates later as they have to get branding added and in some cases don't get some update at all due to vodafone/networks not signing the ok on versions
Huge difference as stated above, update always comes late on branded phones, or never come.
But unbranded phone gets updates directly from HTC not vodafone so you are guaranteed to have them as soon as they are released.
Also, you have no bloatware on unbranded phones, and normally unbranded phones are unlocked on any network meaning when you sell the phone, it worthes more. But there are exceptions, my galaxy s3 lte is unbranded but locked to orange.
Anyway, if p4u's price is acceptable, better go with them. I sacrificed my 40% off discount with Orange and went upgrade with p4u even paying a bit more, but I never regretted.
Anyone actually got a branded phone?

I can't comment on voda but I've just recieved a branded device from EE and Tbh there is no bloat or pre installed crapps in fact it looks completely the way HTC intended. I'm guessing different networks will have different amounts of input but more are straying away from loading the handsets with crap for update purposes. If your rooted it don't matter anyway.

I read reports on the Vodafone forum of their customers receiving phones that have Vodafone on the bootscreen, definitely branded and I would definitely avoid that if you can P4U will be unbranded and will of course price match anyway.

Can confirm the Vodafone version has a Vodafone boot and shutdown screen. They haven't put any bloatware on it but it's definitely branded
Is there any branding on the phone itself or just software?
I have the "One" branded to Three. As far as i can see there are branded start and shutdown and two branded apps "Three Music" and "Three Games". They seem to have also installed the Amazon and Ebay apps.. I think given a chance i'll be installed the HTC standard build as soon as one is available... neither of the above apps are worth anything to me..

Sorry to clarify, the hardware is identical and has no Vodafone markings.
The phones software is Vodafone branded and comes with both their CID and usual bloat.
Just to throw this out there.
When I had a unbranded S3 Vodafone users got their official OTA updates before me.
Pretty sure you could use Kies to get it the same time if you really wanted.
With Samsung you would never be left hanging for a JB compatible HBOOT if you wanted it.

Hey,
I have a question regarding new Htc One from Orange.
In my country - Slovakia, its impossible to get rhis phone. Nobody has it, except mentioned operator.
Are phones from Orange blocked ? Do they have custom series number.
I have read/heard rumours that phnes from operator have custom serie number and they tend to get sw updates much later than phones from market.
Is this true ?
Sorry, if this was answered before, but i coudlnt find answer anywhere.
Thanks

Yes, branded phone receive OTA and ETA update much later then nobrand phone.
For example, stock no brand phone have 1.29.401.12, O2 branded phone have 1.29.209.xx and at today no OTA updates...
However, they don't have a custom serial number, but a custom CID
Thanks, thats what i wanted to hear (read).
Actually didnt want to hear :-\

Hello everyone, I have a question and I am no tech guy so please bear with me.
I have the unlocked HTC One 810e, I currently live in the U.S. and my carrier is AT&T, but I didn't buy the device from AT&T, I bought it back when I was in the middle east. Anyway, the current version of android I have is 4.3 and I have been patiently waiting for 4.4 to arrive, I've been reading lots of articles and blogs where people say that their unlocked HTC Ones have received 4.4. I've been checking for updates everyday and I haven't received anything yet. My question is, is there any way to trick my phone (I know that sounds a bit silly) into thinking we're somewhere besides the U.S.? Will that help me get the update?
Also, with the last two software updates (from 4.1), I have received a (I think 1 megabyte) update that said that there was some sort of bug and that was the reason I wasn't able to receive the update sooner, and after I updated the bug situation, I got the software updates immediately. Do you think this is the situation now?

AT&T 4.4 update is due out any day now ...if after it's released you still don't get updated I would consider taking other steps to get to 4.4

Your service is from AT&T the update will come from AT&T
The other path is unlocking the bootloader, flashing custom recovery and a custom Rom (4.4.2 sense 5.5 )
