Hey everyone im new here, im a noob with everything related to android.
i Bought an unlocked at&t phone and right now im with rogers but im not gonna stay with them for very long.
it has version 2.2.1 on it, and i'd like to have gingerbread on it because i know that ics isnt out for the infuse yet. Can i update it by going to settings and software update? or do i have to do a different update because the phone is unlocked? Will it brick?
Thanks,
search around the forum i know this has been answered already... ill see if i can find it.

this post has been up for more than 2 weeks without a reply. have you had your question answered yet?
I'm living in Canada on a small network called Mobilicity and they don't sell this tmobile htc sensation. I don't need the tmobile apps cuz they don't work on our network up here. I assume that even when android 4.0 comes out on tmobile that I'm going to have to update manually? And if so should I already upgrade to android 4.0 seeing as Bell Cincinnati already is updating their sensations?
S-off, root, recovery, backup, and then install 3.32 firmware and ARHD 6.6.3...
There's no need for you to wait, and you can try other 3.32 base roms while you're at it.
Thanks a lot. I got it to work. I thought i bricked it at the CID part but was able to do it through the boot screen and get the right ID. Works amazing. Thanks for the help. I've fixed computers since age 12 and the more i went along the more natural it became.
I was rocking a Sony Ericsson TM506 for 2 years with Mobilicity up here. Then got this phone and heard there was an updated Android, and I get OCD when there's an update, i had to do it and i did it. Thanks to your help and the guides on this site.
Yep. Now you can just watch the thread for whatever ROM you decide to use and run manual updates as they come out... You can also use CWM from the playstore to automate the process, but many will argue that EXT4 is far superior.
I have tried a bunch of radio\modems that worked in GB and cant my phone to recognize one of them on the official ICS. I have also tried several of the ICS modems including blaze, telus, and several others, and can't them to work either. My sim isant found and under baseband version it says "unknown." Does anyone know of a tmobile modem I can get to work on my skyrocket with official ICS? Thanks for any help.
Even your question doesn't make sense ... What is your phone ? what rom are you using ? are you on t mobile SIM or what ? how did you update to ICS ?
Don't just throw 20 words and want an answer ....

If your going to be rude then don't reply to my thread. This isant hard to figure out from what I posted. I am on the skyrocket sgh-i727, hence why im posting in the skyrocket forum. It says in the title, I am on the stock ICS 4.0.4 rom. And I as far as I know there is only one offical 4.0.4 upgrade. And it would only make sense that I have a tmobile sim, hense why I am asking if anyone knows of a working tmobile modem for the official stock ICS rom upgrade. I have had a million phones, been part of a million different parts of XDA, and by far the people in the skyrocket section are the rudest. And before you say it, yes Ive searched, and searched, and searched again, but seeing as how it was just released yesterday, there is not alot of information out about it yet. After some thought, maybe it was possible you thought I was on rogers or something? Do people try to use tmobile modems on rogers versions?I dont know, but thats not important right now. But you could of been nicer about it. People with questions get treated like second class citizens around here. I updated by flashing using ODIN.
I know that everyone that bought their phone from tmobile can just update it by going through their settings and doing it but mine can't. I currently have a unlocked tmobile sensation and I have at&t on it and the phone is rooted with a custom rom called Android Revolution HD 3.5.2 by mike1986 and it says my android version is 2.3.4. I have no idea what all of this is but a couple of months ago my cousin did this for me on my phone and now I'm trying to get ICS on this. Is there anyway I can do it? Is there a guide or anything?
Thanks for reading.
did i forgot to reply ..or did you have another thread like this ..iirc i replied to this question ..correct me if im wrong
if im correct ..please avoid double posting ...im sure some one will answer ...so no need to have an extra thread
Hi i am new to the droid community got this fone as a gift from a bufdy of mines, got tonrun it on metro pcs network was really to setup. Anyways i update to ota with out doin no reaseach seems like i am stuck with 4.4.4 my question is there a way to root xt10180 non dev or temp root??? Can someone guide me the rite direction thank u
P.s if this is not the rite place pls move post t.y
Considering there is other sections more appropriate than the "Dev" sections for a question or concern, this would certainly not be the right place to ask.
But to answer your question, no. If your BL(bootloader) is locked, you have OEM/Stock recovery, and are on 4.4.4 you are screwed. It appears the Ultra is no longer being supported by anyone capable of finding a method to root. However, you can PAY for a BL unlock code, but it apparently has not been successful for everyone so I personally havent tried and would not pay the premium and possibly get nothing in return. At 4.4.4, you are unable to downgrade to older versions capable of root. Unless someone releases a method of bypassing the stock restrictions - you may have to wait until the next update. Only problem with that is the day after you update, if you choose to, someone may release a tool or method to bypass those security measures. However, if you dont update immediately you may possibly miss the window of opportunity to use a crack-able version of an OTA and wind up being stuck with too new of a version (I am not 100% sure on this last statement, as its been awhile since I was fully involved in the dev world). Hope this answered your question.
Yeah know I am stuck on this version. N I also won't pay for no bl that's not going to work. If someone do come out with a crack version I am willing to donate. I miss been root man. I hope someone do come out with a way to bypass this restrictions. I know they are a lot of smart ppl out there, that can help us noobs lol.
