T-mobile UK WM6 update

hi,
i called T-Mobile yesterday to enquire about them upgrading existing devices to WM6, i was told that if the manufacturer made the updatees available then so would they. i told them HTC were making updates available for their own brand devices so the girl went off to speak to the technical department and came back to tell me that i should keep checking the website as they were expecting some kind of updates to be available in june but couldn't tell me exactly what.
sounds promising...

Lets hope so!

Thats quite wicked.. not sure how the rom are going to compare to the rom's that have been cooked here but they have changed their tune...
They did say that they were not going to update the handsets and that you would have to purchase a different model..
We shall wait and see....
D

Bonus
Great news, then we can get something solid and supported back on our handsets and lets the ROM Chefs take a holiday (though probably a quick one!)

I can say if you are looking for something stable on tmobile UK....Black Dymond with radio 1.40.30.00 is a winner at the moment.
ROCK SOLID, i tested all beta versions (beta, RC1 and RC2) and this ROM has had alot of work put in it.

When is WM6 coming to the X7500?

does someone know when WM6 will be released for the X7500?
I'd like te know a date or something.

You took the time to make a new thread, so you know how to use search I'm sure.

Quite. Not the most auspicious start to membership of xda-developers.
hetallerbeste, may I suggest you read these two threads urgently:
Read me first (note there is also a Advantage wiki)
And don't forget to read me - all of the posts are relevant.

I think one irrelavent post pointing out the search and not answering his question is enough....
Hetallerbeaste no one knows when the WM6 update will be officially released its meant to be sometime in June/July probably expect July given
1. HTC's usual lateness with these things
2. The knowledge that the X7501, which comes loaded with WM6 goes on sale August, 1. Therfore theres the likelyhood that you'll see the ROM in that time frame.
Then again point 2 could be useless given that there are 4 upcoming WM6 roms likely to be launched at same time, but nevertheless June/July is about as close to a release date as there is.

HTC is already advertising with the X7501. It seems a matter of time before this is "leaked" to this forum.

Cheers

According to this (June 11, German language) news item, T-Mobile Austria confirmed WM6 updates in line for the Ameo (Athena/X7500), Vario II (Hermes) and Compact III (Artemis).
The ROMs are supposedly in testing now an "will be made available to customers within the next couple of weeks".
Whatever that means, if we allow up to 6 weeks of testing, the updates might indeed turn up by early August.

Any news on an official Ozone rom?

hello to everyone
It appears that Microsoft doesn't update their Windows mobile site with when phone updates will be available (it still says Last updated on October 08). Kind of careless from their part, since many wm 6.5 roms have sprung up since that date -including the rom for the HTC snap s511.
I have, however, not heard any news or updates anywhere on when a rom for the Ozone would be coming out. Ever since my phone got bricked last September I've been googling and searching everywhere (every day pretty much) on at least the smallest sign of getting the Ozone to be unbricked. (how unfortunate, my fourth Ozone got bricked on my birthday, lol)
Like some of you, I've had the whole hardspl installation running down, but since I have no sight there was no way of me verifying that I had hardspl or original SPL 0.39. You see, I saw that my fourth Ozone had 128 MB of ram and wanted to install the 6.1 rom provided here by Ookba, hoping that maybe with that I'd have 192 mb of ram instead of 128.
So my ozone has been bricked ever since then, and I dare not ask for a 5th one through Verizon...
Is there anything we as users can do to somehow find a solution to somehow getting bricked Ozones unbricked? I know the goldcard method is out of the question - that was already mentioned on another thread. Does anyone know when we can expect an official update? A pc Magazine article said Late October/early november at the latest, but sadly we're already approaching mid-november and still nothing.
with all due respect-

chevron unlock mess up official at&t updates?

I have a hd2/hd7 & decided to get a Samsung focus. I just read of pocketnow.com that Microsoft is saying all the people that did nodo un official will be stuck not able to update passed nodo. My question is can I unlock my focus & wait for the official at&t update without worrying about messing my phone up for updates?

it worked fine for me.

@Freddy2Fred what do you mean? My concern is if I unlock my focus when I get it & also install the re-unlock so when I update to nodo will it effect my future updates?
This is what the article says on pocketnow......
"Monday the ChevronWP7.Updater brought the ability to update Windows Phones to the latest build for all those who lost their patience in waiting for the update notification.
A lot has happened since then: the blog post of Chris Walsh no longer has a valid link to the ChevronWP7.Updater -- as in it was pulled! You might have a déjà-vu as the ChevronWP7 unlocker used to jailbreak smartphones was also pulled as the team was in talks with Redmond.
Apparently, Microsoft warns users related to the usage of the ChevronWP7.Updater as it allegedly will put an end to the smartphone's ability in receiving future updates. According to Redmond, re-flashing the device with an original stock ROM would be the only solution to revert from the situation created.
Since Windows Phone 7 stock ROMs aren't available officially the way we got used to them being on manufacturer's websites back in the days of Windows Mobile, you can either stick with NoDO forever or send it back to the factory? What do you think about such an alleged stance?"

Relax... The report doesn't say for sure. It states Microsoft hasn't tested the Chevron Updater and warns its a possibility. HTC phones that used the Chevron Updater reported receiving additional updates almost immediately through Zune for HTC firmware. Regardless, I'm sure the coders like Chevron team and XDA members will provide updates for our current hardware long after Microsoft and the Carriers stopped in order for us to buy new hardware...

There's an AT&T update? I haven't seen one thing from them and at this point I'd be surprised if I ever do so I wouldn't be too worried.

Relax
If you read the article you will see that "might" is used three times in the second paragraph of the quote and "possible" used in the third paragraph. As it was being published, many users who had updated through the updater were receiving Zune update notices and re-updating with no problems.

Thanks for the answers everyone. The only thing I want to do is unlock it, apply the un-relock so I can sideload when needed & have my custom ringtone/sms. I will still wait for the official update still because of this article so I don't have to update then re-update in a months time.
"Now that the ChevronWP7 Updater tool is out, letting you force NoDo onto the Windows Phone 7 handset of your choice, there's nothing else we're still waiting around for, right? Well, not quite. While this shortcut may get you copy-and-paste, there are still non-NoDo related updates coming down the pipeline. Chris Walsh, ChevronWP7 team member and creator of that update tool, has tweeted word that there's a Samsung Focus-specific update in the works, including some bug fixes.
Walsh implies that they'll be several bugs targeted, but the only one he singles out deals with Bluetooth support. We've seen reports of users running into garbled sound and volume swings with devices connected to the Focus, so this may be the fix Walsh mentions."
With this update supposed to land "really really soon", it's likely that AT&T could push it out at the same time it gets around to releasing NoDo for its users who have decided to wait for an official channel, almost certainly later this month. If you have a Focus and have been considering the universal update hack, you may want to hold off, as you're just going to have to revert it in order to install this bugfix update.

You know what this shows? It shows that if AT&T weren't sitting on their hands keeping silent then people wouldn't get so antsy to get the update. If they came out and said "we're testing it and you'll receive it within <blah-blah> amount of time," which wasn't the case, then people wouldn't have had to resort to finding ways of getting the update. As it stands, there may never be a day this year or any year that we'll see an update from AT&T.
There may be bug fixes being made by MS, but will AT&T release it? Not over their dead, greedy hands. They'd rather you buy a new phone than run the risk of having their support people actually do their jobs.

I really hope this stuff gets organized soon to where we get straight updates from Microsoft for each phone itself. Do yall think the focus will be the only one that will have expandable memory? That seems to been a worse idea lol I'm going to keep my focus with the memory it comes with. I really want to stick with wp7 but I hope its not a slap in the face lol

Revert????

There is no evidence anywhere that you will have to revert anything. Reading other threads and blogs, users in other countries are getting their full updates, including firmware fixes, after using the Chevron Updater to install the update. The new update installs just fine over the hacked update. Others are reporting getting just a firmware update. We really need to see how this plays out but no one knows what will happen and people who are receiving updates after using the hack are reporting positive results. It's amazing that they get the official update and can install it even though their phone is reporting 7390.

[Q] Note 4 updates not working?

Hello, I have purchased the Note 4 in the US (unlocked) and I am using it in Europe in the Czech Republic. There was not a single update since I purchased the phone (November 2014) while I have read several times Note 4 received some kind of an update. Also, the phone received Android 5 in all of the US and the Czech Republic already (at least I have read that now on Sammobile) so I am wondering - did I block the device´s ability to receive any updates by using it in a different country? Does anyone have similar experience with this or other high end phone?
I did exactly the same thing with the Galaxy S4 two years ago and it received several updates right after purchase and also during the following two years. Now Note 4 which is also a high end device (though more niché) and not a single update yet. As of 18th May 2015, the device says the latest updates were installed and the device status is "official".
I prefer using my device the official way so I didn´t really care about flashing but if I have to use a firmware that was never updated since the phone release, I will flash it (as a last resort).
PS.: Sorry about posting this if it does not belong here. Google is not that powerful yet to redirect me correctly and I didn´t quickly find any info about what to post on this forum. It is likely my post belongs somewhere else but it would take hours of research to find out where, so sorry and thank you so much for your time.
