yes it means your carrier has to tinker with it and run test etc before release,unbranded always recieve it first
Not always the case. Three UK released the sgs2 ics update before the unbranded version. Upset a lot of people too

If HTC don't have good enough servers to cope with a European wide update, why not provide us with a manual update download? We can all just share it on forums like this and the world would be a happier place.
God damn HTC!

Still encouraging people who are not happy with how HTC have managed this roll out to go to my website and leave a comment on my article about this. Then after the roll out is complete I will send the comments to HTC for their statement. May not change anything but they claimed to listen to customers with sense so let's see if they do actually listen. The download link for an ruu is a great idea and would help keep users like us happy.

Yup, and last time around they fed out the same BS stories about staggered updates etc., but then the truth was made clear when *all* UK users received the update on the same day.
It took weeks for the situation to be resolved last time, so I'm pessimistic, to be honest.
me too bud,it doesnt bode well does it,hopefully we wake up to the new shiny update in the morning in the UK but i wouldnt hold my breath

Yes because if you held your breath on a HTC UK update you'd most likely die. Multiple times

Ha~Ha~ I can imagined if this happened. They may end up with complaints with severals users has lost their data as they cant wait and go for RUU, EVEN they provides along with clear warnings stating caused for RUU full wipe.

26How the Sausage is Made
Let me share with you guys what goes in to developing and testing commercial s/w. I don’t know exactly how HTC approaches it but it’s a pretty standard process.
I’d guess there are different teams that work on different components of a ROM.
Plumbing– These are the nuts and bolts that support the OS calls and include things like drivers, low-level code, and the kernel. This team also liaises with third-parties like Nvidia.
Wireless - This include the radios; cellular, BT, GPS, and Wi-Fi.
Application Layer – This includes the OS, Sense 4.0, any HTC proprietary apps, bundled third-party apps (EG: Polaris) and the integration of things like the accessories (desk dock, car dock, Media Link HD).
So to release an update, multiple teams are working on various aspects of it at the same time. Each team tests their work but can only do so much with their individual pieces. As work is completed it’s glommed together in the form of a single ROM for the first time. That’s when internal testing begins in earnest. At the same time, the now complete ROM is placed in a version control system so all the teams are working on it together rather than focusing on their individual components.
Typically there’s a team of testers pulled from various departments in the company because you can’t have 10-30 people standing by to test full time because the work ebbs and flows. The test scripts that are followed are probably the size of a phone book. As issues are identified during internal testing the person overseeing testing tries to isolate it, logs it, and reports it to the team most likely responsible for resolving it. Each time a team or member of a team identifies and resolves an issue, depending on how core the issue is to the entire ROM, testing may have to start again from the very beginning of the script. This repeats dozens of times until the ROM passes internal testing cleanly.
Once internal testing’s complete testing is opened up to a broader user audience. Most likely having HTC employees and/or Elevate members starting to use the ROM on their personal devices. They provide feedback via a problem tracking system and the developers look for commonality in the problems reported and make changes to the code accordingly. If major issues are uncovered it’s back to square one which includes another full round of internal scripted testing followed by pushing the revised ROM out to the larger user group. This repeats until the ROM is deemed “acceptable.” Since no s/w is ever perfect, “acceptable” usually means shippable.
So the six-week old 2.05 test ROM passed internal testing and was distributed to a larger user group. Something must have been discovered that caused the developers to make some major changes. So it’s somewhere in the (re)testing process right now.
Like I said, this is the way s/w development is done. HTC may have their own unique spin but it’s not going to be much different than I described. So, while we want it now, we don’t always get what we want. And I’d personally rather wait until it’s done than have to suffer through some of the issues we all faced with the original shipped ROM. I'm guessing but the actual coding of an update could take anywhere from four to twelve weeks with testing always being as long (or longer) than coding. And based on the way this process works you can pretty much take as a given that JB isn’t “right around the corner.”
And that's how the sausage is made.15For those who want to download the RUU from filefactory here you go...

The title of this thread is "Massive HOX OTA Update coming soon with Android 4.0.4!" It’s been up until now a positive thread. I find it fascinating that, somehow, you managed to work yet another discussion of the same known One X issues and the SGS3 in to it. There are plenty of issues threads already open that welcome comments from disgruntled owners. This isn’t one of them.
Since we're OT any way, here's a link to why I canceled my SGS3 order and decided to keep the One X.

A little advice too. If some of you pull the crap you've pulled here when you're on the SGS3 forum and start polls, petitions, and whine about petty issues they'll eat you alive.10
