Anyone on o2 pay monthly, the 4.2.2 update for the C6603.
Active Customization in Service Menu is 1270-4993_R8A. UK Unbranded, check your Xperia Z, you might be in luck! Before anyone asks I don't know how to make a FTF so I'm sorry to say I won't be able to accommodate those who want it.

No random o2 apps, just the ones you had installed before the update, neither adds or removes any apps.

In which case, why did it take them so many more weeks than anyone else to release it?
I have a sim free Xperia Z and recently changed from orange to Virgin sim only account. I did previously upgrade my device to 4.2 using Taiwan firmware and today it's just requested to upgrade again. Same version 4.2 but hoping UK instead of Taiwan (not that it'll make much difference)
Anyway I can check?

o2 are generally slow with updates.
So this is on o2 pay monthly branded devices you mean?
As I am on o2 pay monthly but it's sim free & still no update - I'm confused now, I don't even know what the difference is anymore ha! :silly:

So then you don't have an o2 pay monthly branded device, you have a sim free UK unbranded device, check your customization number in the service menu. Open the dialler and type in *#*#7378423#*#* then look for the customization info. Your device isn't an o2 device, it's an unbranded UK variant of the C6603 model.

Yeah I realise it is a different customization number, was just a bit thrown off when you said o2 pay monthly
Strange really lol. Thanks though, maybe unbranded will follow next!
Well I was on a UK unbranded phone, updated it to Vodafone last update via flashtool. Just checked it OTA and the update is there for me.

That's because your customization number is Vodafone UK so you get the updates when Vodafone release them.
Typical, I flashed the Spanish version yesterday! How do I get back to the UK version?
Question. I'm assuming us unbranded UK Z owners are going straight to 4:2.2 from 434. Will we have white balance from 253 and the modifications with the colour balance?

What gave you that idea? The O2 update only released yesterday so I reckon now that all UK carrier customisations released we should get the unbranded update any time now.

Not necessarily. Look at 'Generic US' (C6602): no carrier customizations and still on 10.1.A.1.434.
Also, 'Generic UK' is probably being sold in Ireland too, since a 'Generic IE' customization does not exist.

Different model number though - my theory, they create the unbranded UK update first, then give it to the carriers, release the carrier updates then they can release the UK unbranded update.
US unbranded update may not even be ready yet, where as we know that the UK update must be ready as it has been customised and released for the carriers

I don't want to hijack your post but ditto on the T-Mobile phones, any information on if their phones are locked or unlocked.
If you buy from carrier retail shop they are normally locked, but if you buy from a third party they come unlocked most of the time. Just ask who ever your buying from.

My friend got his from Vodafone unlocked. The guy at Vodafone said that due to the short supply they were just getting them unlocked from the manufacturer and sending them straight out to customers. This was about 2-3 weeks ago so the situation could have changed.

I got my DHD directly from Vodafone - it is unbranded and unlocked - per my own experience with Vodafone - over the last 2 years or so I got the following phones from Vodafone:
- Touch pro2 - branded but Unlocked
- Windows 7 Trophy - unbranded and unlocked
- Desire HD (DHD) - unbranded and unlocked
so far all phones have been received direct from Vodafone and all have been unlocked - so I think I can make this healthy assumption that HTC phones are pretty much unlocked from Vodafone.
Hope this helps.

Luving this site which I've just stumbled on and answered my question straight away, so here's some info that I've been told from two different T-Mobile UK staff.
Phone is SIM locked but the firmware hasn't been touched (this site has confirmed this too)
The phone will have some kind of T-Mobile logo branding but that's it. I can't wait for my new DHD to turn up now, no stock with T-Mobile and may not be for 3 weeks or more ...... nevermind hay I'll just have to wait.

Correct but as CPW are in many cases the local Samsung Service Centre i would guess that they have updated with non CPW firmware as the only difference is that CSC file .
Its also possible that the latest XEU has a new CSC that contains all the odd networks that where missing and CPW are not bothering with their own version . From memory it was only Virgin UK that was an extra in the CPW version .

Time to settle this
HI GUYS
I work at CPW and will find out on thursday if this is true. We use Cellabrite machines to do the updates and backups etc
Nothing like flashing properly with odin or such.
I will check what we have and report. Although im sure i would have noticed seeing as i have an s2 on cm9!

If you post screen shots of about phone they might believe you .
I actually believe CPW updated you even though it may not be CPW firmware .

I actually work near the CPW the OP is talking about and know that at least one of the guys working in their repairs was quite enthusiastic about ICS coming out.
Will need to go there soon anyway as they messed up my SGS2 repair a bit so I can ask about flashing ICS for me as well. Will report back, on holiday at the moment so won't be until Friday.

It doesn't have any branding, but it does have it's own software version. Easy to change it to the same as the full retail handsets though.
Brilliant service, unlocked my Tesco Moto g within10 mins?
Hi guys, i'm from italy, and i was thinking about buying moto g from tesco, as soon as it becomes available, because of its price (155 euro in UK, 229 euro in Italy -.-"). I've a friend in London who can take it.
I discovered that it's sim-locked, and that is possible to unlock. I didn't know this, but if you say yes, well...ok, perfect.
My question is: if i unlock it, what about the guarantee? Somebody told me i would lose it...is it right?
Thanks.

Scrap that. Downloaded the latest Xperifirm and found 32.0.A.6.200 / R7B on there. Downloading now.
Also available for O2 and Customised UK
