Three UK Model - Flash to stock? topic

My Three model comes unlocked but is already behind when it comes to firmware. It also only has the APNs for Three (so I have to manually input for any other SIM I insert) and there's an annoying splash screen.

I'm not very well-read when it comes to flashing HTC devices but am I right in thinking that there is no way to flash stock firmware without S-off and bootloader unlock? One good thing about even the Sony handsets is that you can flash stock firmware without going through hell.

If I'm wrong could someone point me in the right direction. Not the end of the world if I can't 'stockify' but it would be nice :)

Three UK Ltd update topic

Hey. I have an unlocked HTC one with a 3 UK SIM. I'm currently s-off with viperone 5.8.0 installed. I'm running an older firmware version however.

Three UK have released an update to enable 4g compatability on their network, but I can't get this update due to viperone's update feature. How can I enable 4g on my network? I'm assuming it's a firmware update.

Next thing is, I have a Windows 8.1 pc. HTC drivers and adb is a bit weird on 8.1 from what I've read, so has anyone any ideas how I can enable 4g on my phone?

I have the gsm/wcdma/lte option selected in settings, but I'm still only on 3g signal.

Any help would be great, thank you!

No LTE option? (Three UK) topic

Hi all

I've had a look around the forum and all posts on this subject relate to US versions of this problem.

Anyway, I don't live in a 4G area, but yesterday I happened to be in central London. But I had no 4G. I went into the settings and there was no 4G option, only GSM and WCDMA. I downloaded an app and forced it into 4G and it worked, although I only ever got 1 bar, but the data worked.

I called Three, they said I should send it back to HTC for repair! I said thanks but no thanks.

I bought my phone SIM free in the UK from Expansys, I checked the bootloader screen, it's a W7_UL (I believe the L means it's LTE enabled) and I've rooted it (no custom ROMS, just root). I suspect I don't have a 4G SIM, but I don't know how to find out. Only after researching this did I discover - to my horror and bafflement - that there is a version of the One without 4G. I was briefly worried I had managed to spend £400 on a lemon, but it seems I am able to use 4G if I force it.

Any ideas?

Data connection keeps stopping - Three UK topic

Over last few weeks i noticed that my data connection keeps dropping and i cannot connect to any website or anything.
I happens probably once every 10-20 mins but it shows i have full bars and H sign still there but nothing will connect or my tv streams stop working etc.

Only way to fix is either reboot or switch mobile data off and then back on again and then it starts working again after a minute or two. Its driving me crazy because i cant watch any live tv or browse the web properly.

Im stock rom not rooted my phone or anything - any help would be greatly accepted.

Nexus 5 & network data issues (three uk) topic

Morning all,

I've been having issues with my Nexus 5 and previous nexus 4 whilst on three UK.

Basically Sometimes data will stall on the up arrow only. I drag down the control menu from the top and the icon is showing signal strength and a sporadic up arrow. It either resolves itself after 2-3 mins or I have to put airplane mode on and off.

It's happened in areas of lots of users (Stansted airport) and areas with not alot (where I live)

I also think the error doesn't occur with an ee sim in the nexus 4 as the wife hasn't moaned yet.

Anyone had anything similar or fixed this?

Many thanks
Dan
