Hey all,
I just got my HTC dream, unlocked, running on the AT&T network. My question is this: If I stick with the official RC30 rom will I still get OTA updates when T-mo releases them?

HA HA WHERES MY CUPCAKE!!
Now, to be serious, if you stick with the original RC30, you will recieve the official OTA updates no matter what network you are on.
You will need a data connection, either wifi or having a data plan on AT&T.

As long as you have a stock build (not a rooted version), you will get the update, regardless of carrier.

Ok just ordered my G1 today and need to know somethings. Where can i get the latest firmware? Because some people are saying that it doesn't work over the air for AT&T users. And what is the current firmware that is out right now?
Thanks

If you want to renounce the benefits of the modded firmware (you can always switch back) all you will have to do is wait. The next firmwareupdate will be pushed to you automatically, whether you are on t-mobile ore not, it even works via wifi. As soon as you connect to the internet - and the update is due for you - you will recieve a message on your phone.
rc30 is the most up to date official firmware in usa
I am l little crazy about this ,sorry ,anyone who can tell the date,thank you!
knowing AT&T, you may never see an update, unfortunately.....they are notorious for that.

At&t does not push the update, Google does. As far as I've read only the 9020t (T-Mo) version has started to receive OTA updates. Google's announcement stated that the entire roll out will happen over the next month so it could be mid-January before all NSs get on official OTA.
There are ICS ROMs, based on the 9020t OTA, in the development section that work fine on the 9020a, just use a 9020a radio.
is it possible to update baseband on this phone?
my phone was shipped with 0.15 and i think thats why i've been having the wifi issues. (rebooting nonstop anytime i connect to wifi)
Is there a newer version than 0.15 ?? I havent seen it..
And at the moment its not possible to flash radios with S-ON it can brick your phone. If you get it via an OTA update you will be ok

all the T-MO demo units we have in my store are on 0.16
i've been tempted to exchange it, btu since it's been rooted i'm holding back because i dont want to pay the out of warranty fee.

There has been at least 1 update but I think it went out before the phone launched. I picked up my phone on launch day with a 0.16 base band. Another user on this forum reported getting an OTA to the latest (current) build of 1.53.531.16 which I assume also updated the base band to 0.16
You could try a manual check in by dialing *#*#2342546#*#* in case your wondering 242546 spells "checkin"

Unfortunately i'm not on the stock ROM anymore so that isn't an option.
After doing a bit of research, it seems like the only way to get the baseband update would be for me to somehow revert to the prerelease TMO ROM, then wait for the OTA that was sent out to the prerelease devices which has the baseband update included.
Which is basically impossible, because no one is going to be running that prerelease ROM right now.
So i'm basically clueless at this point. probably just going to see if i can warranty swap it through HTC and hope they don't care about the bootloader being tampered.
Any input from anyone is definitely appreciated!

thanks man i saw that! but i need something similar for the t-mo US ROM.
i'd have to find a prerelease ROM, then wait for the OTA to the release version.

Once the base band is updated you could flash a stock rom or even restore your own personal back up. The international phones use the same chips as the TMOUS phones. How come you don't want to update it if your having problems?

I definitely want to update, but I doubt i'll receive the OTA to update the baseband since i'm on TMO US..
Looking through the thread looks like no US people have tried. I might give it a shot just for kicks. Hopefully it works.
edit - it looks like it definitely won't work if you're on TMO US, because the update has not been pushed out through TMO's servers. The update comes from the carriers, not HTC directly.
anyway problem solved.
ended up getting a replacement from HTC. should be fine.
edit - LOL the replacement came with 0.15 baseband and the kernel from march 29th. retail release versions came with a april 6th kernel and 0.16 baseband.
now i'm clueless. just wait a couple weeks and maybe process another exchange.
haha well my replacement phone came....
still had the same 0.15 baseband as the original pre-release version.
i assumed the replacement would be updated, apparently i was wrong. I might just hang onto this one for a month or so without rooting or unlocking the baseband just in hopes they push an OTA to update my baseband.
can someone teach me how to upgrade my baseband to .15

Hey,
I got the 8X from Bell in Canada (same as AT&T in the US). Anyone knows when the update's going to be released?
Also, would unlocking my phone with an online service make my phone an international unlocked phone? Or would it still be a Bell phone but unlocked?

You should be more specific. Which update? What version do you have at the moment?
AFAIK the latest version currently is 8.0.10211.204.

It should make it an international unlocked phone. But note this is only a simlock, other lock types like interop-, root-, full-unlock are not yet made (if even possible) for windows phone 8. Only developer unlock is currently possible.
Also, be sure to be careful which site you use, others in the forum experienced difficulties: thread 2101075

Sorry about that, by update I did mean Portico, I'm still running 8.0.9903.10.
So by unlocking my phone, would it allow me to perform an OTA update?

Got my AT&T update today. So I would think that yours is coming soon. As far as unlocking your phone, I don't think that will make any difference as far as the update is concerned. The update will still come from Bell.
Yea, it doesnt matter whether its unlocked or not. The update still comes the same way
Well, my phone has the following specs.
Baseband Version: MSM8626BP_1032.390.81.01P, TELUS_CUST (im guessing this means its a bit modified by telus aldo the phone is unlocked)
Build number KXB21.14-L1.50
My question is, if I change this rom to the US Stock retail rom, will I get OTA updates from the US builds?

Yes, if there is ever a problem you can also just come back here and download the ota update and just place it in the root of your sd card and then update like that.
Very well, in that case, i'll wait a few days to see if the update arrives, if it takes too long or I don't see any news about that, ill just change to official lollipop from US RETAIL, thank you for answer
