Okay, so guys, I've tried to push in the OTA update myself. I flashed the stock ROM(I think). But the problem is my software number is 1.73.415.3. And I can't get it to flash back to Stock.
[HTC Sensation] SquithyX:
Ok, is you phone branded to any network? What is your CID? You can find out using terminal or CID getter from the market, it sounds like you have a branded phone.

You can still have the OTA flash but will need a few more steps before being able to flash it
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
No, my phone is not branded by any phone carrier if that's what you mean. The phone didn't have to be unlocked or anything by the carrier. When I got the phone it was stock and unlocked and ready to use. Now, whenever I try to install the new OTA update, it says installation aborted(Status 7).
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
I'll get you the CID now, gimme a sec.

Btw, you got msn or something so you can help me through instant messaging?
[HTC Sensation] SquithyX:
Yea it will as the OTA update is only for 1.73.401.4 which is EU default firmware. Whats your CID? From the looks of it, CID is something like HTC__J15 (just a guess).

What you will need to do is to change your CID to either EU WWE CID (HTC__001) or to SuperCID (11111111) Then flash 1.73.401.4 then you can upgrade with the OTA files.

Get CID Getter (free) from the Market / Play Store and it will show you your CID, or if you have Terminal installed use "su" then "getprop ro.cid" to find out what your CID is. ;)
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
Alright dude, my CID is HTC_J15.

But see, the update for ICS will soon come to the middle east, and I'm guessing the default firmware for the middle east is the one that I stated above. So should I actually degrade to the EU firmware and then install my country's ICS update?
[HTC Sensation] SquithyX:
Now that my friend is up to you, if you change your CID to SuperCID you can install any and all firmwares, be them EU, Middle East, China, or even branded ones such as AT&T, O2, Bell... (not sure why you would want to though!) Or using the EU WWE CID will let you install any WWE ROM.

If you don't mind waiting for the OTA update for the Middle East to be rolled out then just sit tight and when HTC are ready your phone will tell you, should be about 1-2 weeks tops i suspect. The OTA update out at present is only for EU WWE ROMS.

But...if you NEED / want the OTA update now, then you will have to change your CID and install the EU WWE ROM. :p

The EU one is not a downgrade, HTC use different version numbers to target there updates, the ROMS with be almost identical. Its just like all the versions numbers are different for all the branded ROMS.
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
Ah alright. But bro, if I wait and get the update directly from HTC, will I still need to unroot and go back to stock from clockwork mod to install the official update?
[HTC Sensation] SquithyX:
You will have to have stock recovery and stock ROM, root doesn't matter, you can de-root or just leave it and after the OTA Update you can re-root.
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
Alright buddy, but I'm having a hard time finding the Stock ROM, tried google'ing and stuff.

I should get the software number to be 1.73.403.3 and then install the stock ROM, and after that install the OTA or is there an easier way?
[HTC Sensation] SquithyX:
First off you will need to change the CID on your phone to either SuperCID (1111111) or EU WWE CID (HTC_001) - I left my as EU WWE CID as it is the most used CID for custom ROMS.

Then install the Stock ROM (1.73.401.4) - That will also give you the stock recovery

From there you can install the OTA Update and have ICS
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
Alright, this might be a really nooby thing to do, but could you link me or tell me where to get the EU WWE CID?
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
Okay mate, I have successfully changed my CID to SuperCID(11111111). Now I just need to install the Stock ROM.
[HTC Sensation] SquithyX:
Ok, here you go:

1. Set your CID using this guide (part4)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

You can either use CID HTC__001 or 11111111

2. The flash file for EU WWE ROM is:

RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed.exe

You can find it here:

http://www.filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/

3. Update using OTA update from HTC server:

http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_PYRAMID_L...73.401.4_P_release_246589q3t6rh79ci68p68k.zip

Or use your own files if you have them.

Hope this helps you out
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
Ah, sweet. :D I already have the OTA update downloaded. Trying to download the flash file for the EU WWE ROM now, but it keeps saying the free download spots on the servers are currently in use, so I guess I gotta wait.

EDIT: Nvm, googled the EU WWE ROM, and found the same ones on some other sites, in progress of downloading them now. :)
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
Okay now, I've flashed the new ROM(1.73.401.4), but when I try to install the update, it still says Installation Aborted. -.-
[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
For the ICS update you need to be completely stock, that means you also need te change CID, you can't receive ICS update OTA with SuperCID.
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
How do I change the CID back to stock? lol
[HTC Sensation] jasminthoria:
If you have rooted stock Rom you can get notification of updates even u can download it but you can't install it. You need to have stock recovery to install any official OTA updates. Best thing is run original RUU for ur phone which will install stock Rom and recovery and remove root as well. The reason I suggest to use RUU is because ur phone firmware wiil need to be upgraded for ICS. If you use RUU then you will have least chance of any problem.
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
Umm, my phone is not rooted anymore. It got a complete reset and is now running 1.73.401.4 successfully. I am now resetting the CID back to what it was, and then Ima give installing the OTA another try.
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
Okay, so I put it back to the stock CID, and tried installing the OTA update again, but when I tried it, it said installation aborted(status 7) and over that there are some CID's listed, such as 11111111, 2222222, HTC__001, etc.

My CID is not listed there(HTC__J15).

Help? :P
[HTC Sensation] jasminthoria:
Check this thread to see how to change cid.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
Already done, mate. Now I only have problems with installing the OTA. It still says installation aborted. My CID is HTC__J15. And it's not listed in the error.

Other CID's like 1111111, 2222222 and HTC__001 are listed though.
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
Woot! Just got it to work! I have now successfully gotten HTC's official ICS update through OTA on my phone! Thanks a lot everyone! And specially SquithyX! :D

[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Great, here goes the resale of my Photon after I paid $630.00!

http://wireless.amazon.com/f/springsprint?tag=phandroid-20
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
I feel for you. When I bought my Photon, it was off CL and there was a zillion of them for sale. I seriously doubt the Photon has much resell value which sucks but at least its a solid phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
I was chatting with another member who has Photon, cardock, HD Dock, smart controller, bluetooth keyboard for $650.00. I dont see this happening!

With the LTE announcement, honestly, I was just going to give my Photon away when the SG Note hits Sprint!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

At least on my local Craigslist, the Photons still fetch a decent amount. In addition, on Ebay, the prices are not in the gutter.

When it comes to upgrade, I am hoping the fact I also have the HD Dock, Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard, and Mouse, will bring a high enough amount to offset the next phone I get as I am eligible for an Upgrade after May 18th.

As a former Premier Gold Member, I have until December to take advantage of my last Annual Upgrade from what I have been told. I am really hoping Sprint comes out with another Motorola Flagship Handset before December. All I know is that whatever one I get must be LTE. I really hope it does not end up being a Crapple iPhone 5. From what I have read, the 5 will offer LTE and after my EVO3D experience, I am pretty soured from getting another HTC. Thus, the choices by December might be pretty slim.

J
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
@Jungle Jack, after I read your post I thought of something, my Photon cost $630.00 no contract, you can get Photon for $0.01, but your married to Sprint for 2 years and if you want divorce, it will cost you $300.00 or so anyway. Therefore, you could get a decent price from CL or FleeBay!

With that said, I have been playing with phones since early 2000 (BB!), this is by far one of the best phones currently on the market. We have a ton of Photon users that jump ship for SGII, then a month later come back.

The only thing I'm waiting on is Samsung Galaxy Note! Which when I played with it, is light years ahead of Photon! WAY faster (1.4Gzh Processor), Cool UI that you can draw and cut-&-paste with pen, true 1080P HD, and a beautiful TV for a screen!! (5.4")
[Motorola Photon 4G] ronnienyc:
I am amazed at the prices people are paying!

They are available on Craigslist in the cities I frequent (LA and NYC) for $200-$250 in NEW condition all the time.

And I agree, it is a GREAT phone. It just works the way it should 100% of the time. And battery life is way better than any other Android phone I have had.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

This is by far my favorite phone by leaps and bounds. Funnily enough, my second favorite was a Motorola StarTac that Sprint offered for a very limited time it seems.

Granted, being with Sprint since the late 90's, we did not always have access to be latest and greatest handsets.

It has gotten a great deal better starting with the HTC EVO 4G. I just wish Sprint and Motorola had a better relationship as I am quite fond of the Droid RAZR, but do not think we will be getting a Sprint version. I am simply hoping for simply a freshening up of the Photon before my Upgrade is void. With there reported to be a multitude of LTE Devices on their way before the end of the year, perhaps there will be a Motorola Android LTE Device...

Cheers,

J
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
and another thing, we have dual bands (CDMA and GSM) witch is another selling point driving the price!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
when do you think the note will get to sprint?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Who knows but if I had to guess, this summer. At CTE, they stated Sprint and Verzion were getting it. AT&T has it. Rumors are hell! If they don't have it by beginning of July, I'm going back to AT&T!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
the notes awesome but I just can't see rocking that as a phone. Its so huge!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
but it IS a phone! (Its really not as big as you might think, I played with one at AT&T last Saturday) Yes bigger than a phone, smaller than a tablet. 99.9% of the time, Photon is in my pocket and the note fit into my pocket.

Not to mention, the Note has so many atvantages over Photon (and I mean noticable!) that, given one had the money or upgrade available, we be stupid not to IMO.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JustSomeDude:
Except the Note is still a Samsung, so will gps/data/actually acting as a phone still suck?

Edited to add:

Well if what they're saying on this thread about the AT&T version carries over to the CDMA version, Samsung may finally have figured out GPS...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
I might pick one up next year if it comes to Sprint. But only if I can get a holster for it cuz I wear my Photon on my belt. Too much stuff in my pockets already lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
I have seen a few on FleeBay but nothing really flips my wig? To be honest, I rarely use clip on Defender (Likely because it winter and I have a coat and need quick access?)

I'm really digging the Galaxy Note Presige Vintage G-Note Diary Series. Room for money and Credit Cards. And if it does not add too much bulk and still fits in pockets.................otherwise, I will continue to look at holsters also.

EDIT: BTW, Photon is not only phone for $0.01, they have a 4G yard sale! With the announcement of LTE, and the 2015 death date, they need to do 2 things. 1. Get you into a 2 year marriage you can jusitify. 2. Dump the inventory of WiMax Phones. I don't have WiMax where I live and will never get it, so a 4G phone means nothing to me over a phone that is solely 3G!

holas amigos :)

I have a SE X10i mini (E10i)

firmware 2.1-update1

Baseband ver. M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015

kernel ver. 2.6.29 SEMCuser@SEMCHost #1

Build no. 2.1.1.A.0.6

It was bought at T-Mobile HR (Croatia) and should be SIM locked

However it is not because my new TELE2 operators SIM works just fine

There could be three reasons for this:

1. 8 months ago I've rooted (at least I think I did) it with a procedure that I can't exactly remember which, but it died anyway a few days later (black screen and red dot)

2. It's been in T-mobile service center on repair for 6 times and the guys could have done something there to SIM unlock it

3. it was never locked

Anyway, I wish to put Gingerbread on it. So far I've only rooted it with superoneclick 2.3.3 yesterday.

I've read a lot of posts and it is said if I don't use the right method for unlocking bootloader my phone will go SIM locked again

I don't wanna do that

So my question is:

1. how can I tell which way was it SIM unlocked and

2. what bootloader unlocking strategy do I use then

Hi Guys,

I'm currently running the lastest CM Nightly and have never changed Baseband or Kernel.

The question is should i? and is there a better rom to be using?
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
Hi!

I believe you've got a good ROM now. The latest CM nightly is pretty good I think so there is no need to change that. (Although, you could try Temaseks CM7 KANG, but that's just my opinion :D, link in signature btw)

BB is another story though. You should ask yourself: Do I have good signal and call quality? If so, then there's no need to change it. At least I wouldn't change it. What I would try to change is your RIL (if it's necessary though). Download the GetRIL app on the market and let it check if your RIL and BB match. If they match then keep it that way :D. If not change it using that app.

Kernels on the other hand are optional. If you want to overclock your CPU, or if you want a ramhack then you should flash a kernel. Right now I believe you've got stock CM kernel on your phone, which is pretty good, but not the best. Take a look at the ETaNa Kernel thread, (link in signature) There you'll find more information about what this kernel does with your phone.

Oh and one more thing, you don't HAVE TO change your rom etc. I mean, it's not like we're forcing you to change it right? When you're happy with what you have right now, why don't you keep it like that? But, it's your choice obviously ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Pascalone19:
Hello I will always recommend you try if you want to flash the baseband 1120 greatly enhances the quality of the call!
[LG Optimus 2x] mness90:
cheers guys, where can i find the latest basebands as my call & signal quality isn't great
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
I think the first thing you should try (also because it's the easiest thing to do) is to get "GetRIL" app from gmarket or gplay or whatever it's called now and see if your RIL and BB match. If they don't, get the matching RIL and see if that has improved quality. If it has, great, no further action necessary... if it hasn't then you can proceed to experimenting with different BB :)
