Pre-owned U Ultra, what is latest UK software version - HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers

Hi Folks
Ive just picked up a pre-owned U Ultra, which is BNIB...
I bought it as Unlocked..
What is the latest Unlocked UK firmware and Google security patch?.
Thanks all

Allow me to answer, even though mine is a European unlocked single sim U Ultra...
Build #: 1.64.401.3
Security patch: 1st July 2017

Thank You friend.. Much appreciated for that, thats exactly what Ive got.. so thanks..
The reason I asked was when I look around the web and XDA all of the EU/UK updates state its still on 1.62.401.1.. I just wanted to check that someone hadnt installed a non-EU/UK rom.
So 1.64,, mustve been just the July security patch..
I know since the M8 / 9, HTC have done most of their updates over Google Play.. but July seems quite an old security patch for a 6 month old flagship device.
Thanks

You're welcome! I had the exact same question when I bought mine.
HTC is rather punctual regarding their updates. The only reason that can explain the security patch delay is the forthcoming oreo update. Fingers crossed...

How to update S8+ from ATT outside the US

Hi everyone! I bought an unlocked S8+ from a friend and I'm using it outside the US and I haven't been able to update it, I still got the April security patch. Does anyone know a way to update it. I have already tried to update through settings and it shows that it's update to the last version, even though is not true. Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks!

Upgrade N910V without root?

Hi all - so I picked up a N910V and have hit a road block. Hoping someone has a solution because I love this phone. My employers BYOD program has some restrictions in place. I have to be running Android 5.5 or greater, security patch level of September 2017 or newer, and can not be rooted. Latest update that I've seen is from August. Do I have any options here or is this beauty hitting ebay?

S7 edge Oreo update pulled?

I never recieved an update to oreo o.t.a having an unlocked s7 edge. I spoke to vodafone who is my network provider who was first to roll out the update and told me the update has been pulled due to there being so many issues with the update. Bit annoyed now as some people seem to have updated with no problems at all and it looks like some of us may not see oreo at all on our devices.

This really looks ridiculous for me, to be honest. My dad has A5 2017 and he received Oreo last week. It's really a shame that flagship S7/S7 edge is facing this poor software update policy. I also saw that Note 8 users still haven't received Oreo. On Samsung Turkey webiste Oreo is listed in testing phase and date of release is set for May 18. I wouldn't be surprised if they delay it again.
They test Oreo on cheaper devices to get less complains. And less financial risk if the update goes wrong.
Also, usually the people that buy flagship devices usually "upgrade" selling those to second hand market. That's why the manufacturers don't update those devices so quickly - to push the "high rollers" to buy the new phones that have the newest bells and whistles.
Yes its been pulled back from the server for now. Can't say how much more delay is there for the worldwide rollout, but chances are near the end of may it will start rolling out again alongwith may security patch globally.

I myself received the android 8.0 update (sm gt935f - brazil) and honestly i regreted that i did the update.
Now im having a lot of lag and drop in internet connection, both wifi and 4g connection. A lot of times my facebook, instagram and whatsapp are too slow. Youtube also lags a lot while trying to watch videos.
Reallt dont know what to do
And now it will be delayed again,shamesung what happen in the world,from april to mid april,then may to mid may,and now what? From may to forever waiting? Sad life
Thats so weird.Ive updated to oreo through ota almost 2 weeks ago and I had zero problems so far.The phone is smoother faster and I really enjoy the samsung experience ui.Battery life seems to be the same aa nougat though
Could i asked where you are based? Also what network carrier are you on?
on many video, s7 oreo make s7 fly like a unicorn, maybe they purposely delay so u might in the end fall into the trap of buying new phone? LOL

You said that you receveid that, but the G935FXXU2ERD5 is the Oreo from UK: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/BTU/download/G935FXXU2ERD5/217550/
You probably had an earlier UK ROM installed to had receveid this new G935FXXU2ERD5.
I thought you were the first to receveid the unbranded Oreo ROM for S7 here in Brazil .

Maybe thats why im having those connections drops/lag? Or they are not related?
Thats what i though really odd. Im from BR, my mobile is G935FXXU2ERD5, and when i enter sammobile, there is NO RELEASE of android 8.0 for Brazil. So i guess i received this UK???

Yes, you received the ROM from UK.
It is expected that you have no problem, except the VOLTE that is specified region (you have to have a CSC from the region where the phone will be used).
There is no CSC from Brazil on 8.x yet and I do not know if previous CSC are compatible.

At&t Samsung s10 plus not updating in Canada

hi guys
I have At&t samsung s10 plus wont do any updates from Canada, im stuck with android 9 the o.s it came with,every time i try to update it tells me its up to date.
Smart Switch is no help it tells me phone is up to date also
any way around this?
I had updated at&t s7 and s8 in past in Canada and recently update Verizon s10 5g to andriod 10 in Canada.
you can try update on different wifi network or clear catche and try a update, else you can do it by Odin easily.

Maybe it hasn't been pushed to your device yet, there are plenty of people out there that haven't received the update yet.
If you don't have the patience to wait, then I suggest using Odin to update it manually.

You do understand that it can take several weeks to receive an update once released? Every company does a rolling update so it only hits so many devices at a time just in case there are reports of severe issues, they can pull it. You don't know which server your device for an update is sitting on with AT&T.
Patience is the key where updates are concerned, and it's better to sit back and see what the issues are over having to get the latest and greatest buggy software on your device instantly.

It wiped everything that AT&T had placed on the phone, the apps that are on my phone now are standard google apps
its as if the phone came from Samsung, no affiliation with any cellphone company.

I think what he is asking if it cleared all your apps that you already had installed and all your data.... Not the kind of apps you now you have.
XSP update isn't available yet for 10, it was then it disappeared which tells me it was pulled by Samsung most likely due to some issues.

I live in Canada and I've an unlocked Samsung galaxy S10+ and I've yet to receive the latest updates. My last update was December 1st and it was G975FXXSEFUL1. I don't even have the security patch for January or February NO updates yet for 2022.. I am a life long Samsung buyer and after this stall and potentially leaving me open to infiltration I'm not amused and will be trying a Apple for the 1st time, BYE BYE SAMSUNG THE BLUES

Help With old Update

Hey Their guys. I recently bought a one plus 6t off of Amazon. I was a refurbished model. It came running oxygenOS 9.0.11. I am very concerned as the security patch is from December 2018. When I go to the updater page it shows that the phone is up to date even though I'm on an old security patch and old version of oxygen. If you guys could walk me through the updating process that would be awesome. Also the build number is ONEPLUSA6013_34_181226.

Please read through this thread, starting with this post, and see if it relates to your phone. If it does, head to post one and see how to determine if your phone is T-mobile branded or T-mobile changed to international. Then it gets really simple.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307/page28
Once you are sure which state your phone is in, you will be able to search out which Upgrades to download manually, and how to install them from the phone itself.
