Maybe so but I have stumped up my full £500 for the phone not giving £xxx per month - So I should get it first they have got all their money first.

I know it's horses for courses but I always felt Sim Free was king cause they have got your money already.
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
I bought mine on contract via Phones 4U and its on Orange Contract but the phone is unlocked so technically its a SIM free phone with a SIM only package. But people who buy from carriers direct will usually find that their phone is locked to the network.

I just want the update now :P
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
I honestly don't know, all I can think is they dont have the resources to have a mass rollout so they do it by region.
[One (M7) General] ipguy:
I've already got my phone and it came with 1.29, am I running the latest?
[One (M7) General] Ganzor:
Got my phone on Thursday, same day as the update was released in Denmark so on version 1.29,401.12
[One (M7) General] shuflie:
Does anyone have details of a good, free VPN server in one of the countries where the update has been released? I've got an account with private tunnel and have already tired all the servers they have available with no luck, this covers Swiss, Dutch, Canadian and American servers. I wasn't holding out much hope for the Canadian and American servers as they seem to be shipping with the latest version, but though that the Swiss or Dutch ones might have had more luck. Has anyone in Amsterdam or Geneva on an unlocked international (401) HTC One got the update yet?
[One (M7) General] bfdream:
How many One have been sold out? I do not think there are many devices needing update.

A large of people did not get their phone yet.
[One (M7) General] Winston1989:
Is it my imagination or is the phones speaker volume a little lower after the 1.29 update?
[One (M7) General] rodenti:
I'm with Telus in Canada and my One came with 1.29.661.5.
[One (M7) General] RoachPapa:
Its a little bit, but they optimized sound after 50% a lot. Overall it sounds better.

I did, im from holland with e11 cid and 401.

I still have the ota file on my sd if you want it although im not sure how you could install it
[One (M7) General] shuflie:
Thanks for the offer, but I don't think it will work. I've already tried a '401' ota file but the stock recovery can't seem to see the internal storage. It can mount an external USB memory stick but won't flash an updae.zip from it. I think it will only flash from the cache partition but that can't be written to without root. If the update is rolling out in Holland and a VPN based in Amsterdam didn't find it then the rollout must not be based on geographical location.Maybe its CID based, mine is HTC_001.
[One (M7) General] ipguy:
Am I on the latest software?
[One (M7) General] bfdream:
Yes, 1.29 is the latest
[One (M7) General] goulies:
Not quite the latest, the latest htc have pushed out is 1.29.###.12
[One (M7) General] ipguy:
Is that the version with the improved camera?
[One (M7) General] Magpir:
Like to know as well. My guess it's it should be improved
[One (M7) General] goulies:
The only information about changes in firmware that I have seen is the 1.29.###.12 so it's hard to say at what version the improvements where Included.

But seeing as this is the one they are sending out over ota it probably contains the biggest improvements.
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
Think all 1.29 firmwares have the improvements, the middle set of numbers indicate the specific carrier and/or Country variant and last 2 numbers I read are build numbers.

Think I read on here the last 2 numbers are not equal across all variants, for example a 1.29 version for vodafone ending with a .12 may not be equal to a sim free variant ending in .12 and a .03 may be its equivalent instead.
[One (M7) General] :
Still nothing here on SIM free UK
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
Nothing here too for CPW Sim Free version.
[One (M7) General] ant78:

[One (M7) General] loki4you:
Hi ,

I m Using UK sim Free HTC ONe in India.Will the HTC one be getting an OTA update when its rolled out by HTC One for sim free phones of UK..:confused:

I have also downloaded the OTA file found in another thread to my PC, But clueless of how to install it through USB .CaN I do it through a RUU .

Please guide me on how to flash ONE to the 1.29 OTA through USB or IS it better to wait for the update through Air.

Thanks a Ton in advance.:o
[One (M7) General] vickysud:
dude even I'm using UK sim free in india . im on 1.28.401.7 lets wait till HTC releases the update and you do get the update not to worry.
[One (M7) General] :
Germany, Vodafone FW (VODAP102), got the Update around 3 days ago (1.29.161.11) :D
[One (M7) General] Spewy1:
Tell us your experience, what are the improvements?
[One (M7) General] :
As far as I can say, the camera is faster initialised and the image quality is way better now (no greyish "veil" on photos anymore) and I would say that the overall performance got a little bit better, despite the fact that the performance was already pretty smooth (no comparison to Sense 4 on my old HOX) and of course the ISO error is gone now :D
[One (M7) General] Diamo82:
What about home buttons?
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
What about them? The touch sensitivity is improved.
[One (M7) General] Diamo82:
Are they response better? Coz i have problem with that...

Quick question guys: Who here living in the UK has received the new Play store v4 on their One?
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
I havent and the update for the phone is meant to come out in may someone said.
[One (M7) General] seanicca:
I have got it earlier today, still no fw update though
[One (M7) General] ipguy:
I'm still confused as to which fw will give us the improved camera and what other enhancements will also be included.

I'm currently running 1.29.841.2
[One (M7) General] professor_chaos:
Is it possible to flash the update to your phone if it isn't available for OTA update for your particular (carrier) variant yet? Would you need an unlocked bootloader to flash the update in that case?
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Wont work, we would need S-Off.
[One (M7) General] leonzhou:

[One (M7) General] ste1164:
By the looks of it, you could be waiting a month to get the update.
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
Three are ALWAYS slow when it comes to providing OTAs... I remember back in my HTC One X days, HOXs on Three were always behind.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Three only ever provide samsung updates first. Usually before the sim free samsung devices.

P4U UK Sim Free - just getting 1.29.401.12

:)
[One (M7) General] gavinfabl:
So my device is locked to 3. How easy would it be to flash the generic sim free UK rom? What would I need to do?
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
Update just showed up for my UK sim Free device from CPW 1.29.401.12

looks like CPW and P4U have the same Sim Free variant
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
You can't until we get S-Off.
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
Well he can, he can root it and then install whichever ROM has the update he desires included in it... Just means that he'll have to re-flash the new ROMs every time there's an update, he can't get OTAs.
[One (M7) General] packetlos:
It just showed for my sim free UK device too (from Phones4u), checked early this morning and nothing so it must have just been released.
[One (M7) General] vaporymercury:
Updated mine too!! I still get a tiny issue, just like before the update... The popping sound that come after playing audio... Guess I'll just get used to it! :D
[One (M7) General] gavinfabl:
I don't want to lose OTA. Just want a stock Rom so that I get firmware updates fast. Might sell my 3 HTC ONE and get a SIM free one.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Thats the only way I could think. You could root but you wont get OTAs and its not official.
[One (M7) General] goulies:
Mine just times out after checking for a few minutes
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Restart your phone and see if it works then.
[One (M7) General] huwwatkins:
Sim free UK (from Phones4U) just got the update.

[One (M7) General] steveohan:
just flash stock recovery -> install update -> re-flash cwm.

that's what i did, and it worked a treat.
[One (M7) General] :
Got it here. Sim free, from phones4u
[One (M7) General] bobsie41:
I'm going to ring them when I get in shortly and give them some hassle. Complain about the un-responsive capacitive buttons etc.

As far as I can make out, the only difference between this firmware and WWE is that the browser defaults to the EE homepage which I would do myself if that's what I wanted :rolleyes: So, what exactly do they have to test before release?

I'll see what they have to say and report back. :)

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

Is it not necessary to relock the bootloader? Just for clarification. :confused:
[One (M7) General] jmbillings:
That was my plan but it didn't work...
[One (M7) General] kamaldeepahluwalia:

Just received the update. It was smooth. Will post what enhancements if any...:D
[One (M7) General] fahren:
Which stock recovery did you use? I found two different and I'm not sure which should I try ;)
[One (M7) General] h.han:
Same as others, got update on UK SIM free. It seems like the back and home button now are more sensitive and no unresponsive just yet, but will need to test more.
[One (M7) General] johnbrighton:
what network? or was it sim free?
[One (M7) General] SSVR:
My Aus delivered HTC One (sim free) is sitting on 1.29.980.2 and has done since I picked it up on the 26th. CID is HTC_039.
[One (M7) General] fahren:
You are using wrong recovery image. I had the same problem. There are two different images available on XDA, the correct one has 9822208 size and 6134abee78e4637e1a15ad908d6fe211 md5 checksum.

The wrong one that results in hanging on 'Entering Recovery' indefinitely has size of 9791488 bytes. So, just download the other one and problem solved :)

No Stay Awake option after update

Guys

I don't see "Stay Awake" option in "Display menu" after update !!!. Phone can't be kept awake now!!!
[One (M7) General] h.han:
Yes, the back and home buttons are definitely improved, now they are working 100%!

However the hissing background noise is still there when beats is enabled, both in YouTube and mp3 playback. But disable beats greatly reduced the hissing and seems not reducing the quality of sound... For now I will just keep beats off then, after all, the sound is simply too loud with beats on, I was scared to piss this morning when my alarm on One rang... It was already set to lowest volume...

UK T-moble SIM free from P4U successfully updated just now over 3g, not tested anything yet

Send from HTC ONE
[One (M7) General] lucifon:
Red Exclamation Mark!

Just tried installing the 1.29 OTA update for the UK P4U Unlocked One and I get the red exclamation mark as soon as the installation appears to start. Everything stock, never rooted.

I have to hard reset to get the phone to reboot. Tried redownloading but no luck. Phone was plugged into a pc the first time I tried it so I thought that could be the issue but still no luck when unplugged. I've not done anything special with the device. Deleted the preinstalled music, Thor video, hints & tips videos. And regularly use Clean Master to clear app cache's and kill some tasks. That's about as advanced as it gets - nothing's been altered, it's all stock!

Any ideas??
[One (M7) General] amjb71:
UK from phones4u, update went smooth, very happy!
[One (M7) General] Ibroe:
Got my device on 27the and Just received the OTA here in Manchester UK. over 3g installed in a breeze. Test to explore and notice any change yet
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
At least you unplugged the phone from the PC, that's usually the main error.

Go into advanced menu, Power and uncheck fast boot (if it's checked), power down then try to update again.
[One (M7) General] jmbillings:
That would explain it- however no matter what I search for, I'm only finding the "wrong" one- do you have a link to the relevant thread?

Thanks!
[One (M7) General] lucifon:
Appreciate the help. Unchecked fast boot, rebooted for good measure, then redownloaded the update and tried installing it. Exact same problem. Any other ideas?
[One (M7) General] @home:
Factory reset then try update again? Just a suggestion.
[One (M7) General] lucifon:
That's the only thing I can think of left to do, currently at work though so I'd prefer to do that at home. Are there any good complete backup solutions? The thought of having to set everything up again is pretty annoying.
[One (M7) General] fahren:
No, sorry. I probably extracted it from some firmware.zip containing entire ROM.

In case you can't find it, here's the version I used which works just fine: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22045273/htc1-stock-recovery.img

I thought developer edition was only bootloader unlocked not S OFF
[One (M7) General] NxNW:
lol just thanked your post there by mistake ajftl - not a problem, hell your avatar is worth a thanks just by itself - anyway here's my reply: yes, developer edition is supposed to be S-ON which is precisely why NZtechfreak has a very noteworthy unit. S-OFF units do slip out from time to time. They often hold the key to finding the exploit that gains S-OFF for everyone else. I hope NZ makes the most of his find.

It's broken :)
[One (M7) General] NZtechfreak:
Well that is very interesting. I grabbed mine from Ebay and the S-Off status was not mentioned. It came in an unmarked box which made me think it is a developer unit, and that is why I checked the S-On/Off status. May not be a developer handset at all, that was just me speculating really. Are there no other S-Off handset users here at XDA at the moment?
