Hey folks...anyone in Ausie having issues with getting software updates? I've got a Z10 on Telstra, Z30 with no sim and a Passport on Vodafone with no OS 10.3.1 update showing. I've also purchased an Optus prepaid sim and tried it out with the Passport and still no luck. Thoughts?
I bought outright, and got it day 1. I don't know if you can do the simless trick (take your sim out, connect via wireless and update). Optus is normally quick, I once bought a $2 voda sim which also works.
according to Michael Clewley, to trigger the update (as your Passport is a factory unlocked):
- switch the mobile network off
- put the wifi on
- shut the phone off
- remove the sim
- perform a reboot
- once the phone is back online, wait a moment until it connects to the wifi network
- then hit the Software Update button
Ah ok...mine was bought unlocked from Optus store in Perth. Anyone else bought their phones from Optus and are able to update?

Ah.. then this means the phone is network unlocked BUT you need to wait for Optus to push the update. I'll suggest you to just go to eBay, purchase a voda UK sim and have it sent to your home, trigger the update by inserting the sim to your phone then hit the "software update". It will work.

My Passport is from Optus store but running it with a Telstra sim, tried to get update OTA using a few methods but no luck, so ended up using Sachesi to update to latest firmware, all works better with it installed and camera is much snappier also. Well worth doing.
