first I read an article the other day saying this was for Australia....now the changelog from android police or wherever shows minor changes for SIM issues....oddly enough the radio in this one is the older 95 version.....

I have already downloaded and installed it on my Moto X dev, and my Nexus 7.  I fastboot boot it for the Nexus 6 but it is on my hardrive.  I went directly to the TWRP web site to get it.  http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

Use the recomened site from there it is there.

EDIT: and the page you provided says the techerrata site may be out of date so thats my bad.

So is anyone running the new "I" build? Any differences noted that makes it worth updating from my "E" installation? I've read a bit on the "other" site but so far nothing grabbed my attention to make this a "must do" update but I thought I'd ask my family here what they thought. If I update though, I think I'll flash the 98 radios from the "E" build, they seem to be working very well since I'm one of those folks still stuck on Big Red due to coverage and a grandfathered unlimited data plan!

Iirc I is an improved international build. D is what att is pushing. I'm on D cause I'm too lazy to revert to stock kernel/recovery then bump to I Sam, iirc, is running fully stock I

[livinginkaos]

I'm on I .  The 98 over 95 radios didn't really change much for me.  The one thing that seems to bother me is that the program change to allow the advanced LTE does not stick.  I lose it on reboot and it's a pain to get active again.  It has been like that regardless of the letter build. 

[SamuriHL]

Yea I'm on stock I.  Not had any issues so far.

I found with the verizon model the same thing.  It is that they have to make sure volte is active on your account, then the problem goes away. I believe they call it "HD calling"

But is it any better than either the D or E builds? And Mr. Kaos, I assume you have tried going into the test menu by dialing  *#*#4636#*#* and then selecting the "Turn On VoLTE Flag"? I went into my VZW account and enabled the HD calling but the use LTE option never showed up until I did that. 

[SamuriHL]

I'm not sure what you mean by "better".  Does it include some great new functionality that's going to blow you away by installing it?  No.  Did they include minor bug fixes that won't impact 90% of users?  Yes.  Most people would be hard pressed to find any real world difference between these builds.  Not sure why people are making such a huge deal out of D, E, I, M builds when they're incredibly minor differences.  I simply flash them as Google posts them.  It's not going to change anything except if you're on a carrier that included a special build for radios.  In which case, flash I for the new kernel then flash the radio you need for your carrier.

Not really making a big deal, just curious is all and looking for a reason to play with the new HoN!

Yes, that's the only way to get the option.... hence, why I said "program change"

It's that whole "Non-Verizon Device" issue that everyone is talking about. MF Big Red!

There's no harm in upgrading.  Whether it's worth the effort or not, no idea.  For me there's no effort.  Download image, point the HoN at it, and hit flash.  Done.  Because they've not touched the bootloader so far in any of these builds, moving back and forth isn't a big deal.

Well there's now rumors of an "H" build out now but I don't see it on the official download page.

Havent flashed I yet, running D with the E radio since I am on VZW and alls been good enough that I didnt jump to I version...at least yet anyway. Since it brings back the older 95 radio, if you do that, you may want to flash back the 98 radio for VZW. I honestly didnt see much difference between the two, but I am in Los Angeles so it may depend on your locale.

 

Also, just as a point of reference, I think I am one of the few that didnt have a lick of trouble getting a SIM from VZW and getting it activated. Having said that, I do still show up on the site as a Non-VZW Device, but everything is working proper so far including LTE. But now that Kaos mentioned his issue on I, maybe I wont go there....
