Guest ruzfactor Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hi I have recently bought a Huawei G300 and it is locked to Vodafone UK. My firmware version shows B892. By searching through the interenet I have found that Vodafone would release ICS for this phone and will be available through OTA. But I want to unlock the phone as soon as possible (vodafone is very costly). Will unlocking prevent me from upgrading to ICS via OTA from Vodafone (even if I use vodafone sim while doing that)? Also will unlocking the phone degrade its performance? Please suggest should I go for unlocking. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rosco-85 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Unlocking your phone definitely won't affect OTA's. But if you want the best performance out of the phone, a non-Vodafone ROM is the way forward. Either Infusion or a clean ICS build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ruzfactor Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thanks. When the ICS upgrade is available from vodafone, do I need to use vodafone sim card for OTA or any sim card would do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rosco-85 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Any will work. OTA will work even without a SIm card in. It is done over your Wi-Fi connection, so the Network has nothing to do with it. When I got mine I unlocked it to use O2 then did OTA update.
