Im using ruu1.55.605.2 rooted stock rom. I noticed that when i go to software update and press on check new it states "software update only works on CDMA". I bought this verizon phone on ebay and using it in israel on Global network option.
Why does it say i must be on CDMA to use software update?

Hey all,
I have an India model Sensation and I haven't received the OTA update as of yet. I called HTC and they advised that the update is not available in that region yet.
I've tried to use the Tmobile version but it doesn't work.
If any one has the European update file I'd be very grateful if they can post it somewhere I can download it.
No OTA update for myself either
Hi,
I have an unlocked/sim free retail box of the HTC Sensation which was given to my by HTC (long story). I live in Ireland and I have not received the OTA update yet either. My friend is on Vodafone IE and has got the software update, I assumed I would have had it pushed to my handset first but this has not been the case. I have tried keying in ' *#*#checkin#*#* ' to get any missed updates but nothing available yet. Does anyone else have this problem with an unlocked handset?
If possible as above I'd like the updatepackage.zip .
Lastly I'm on O2 IRL who don't carry the Sensation but I don't think that would matter as my handset is not branded to their network, any ideas on any other trouble shooting I could do?
I have a stock O2 UK O3D. LG website says update available, phone says I have the latest version (v10k) which is 2.2 so I run LG updater on the laptop and click its update history tool which says "s/w v21a" as if it thinks I have gb.
I cannot find who provides my updates, it's definitely not O2, maybe if I rooted it I could find who supplies them via a config file or else I will be stuck with Froyo forever

If you are operator locked and in the UK you will get the update december 5th.
It is due 5th of December in UK. However, you can flash the official ROM, see development forum.
According to the operator (O2) my phone is not supported by them for updates, and the phone seller has no idea who sends them. Will wait for december and see.
Thanks
Dave
I am with O2 but didn't get my O3D from them. Up until I flashed it last night it was still on 10D!
So nobody from O2 updated my handset.
I have to wait as if flash phone and mess it up cant replace it
Dave
You can try removing your sim card and selecting another country in the LG updater if your phone is not simlocked by O2.
Flashing the official rom isn't that hard either. I can't get the update either so I just followed the tutorial for kdz flashing and had GB on the phone in about 15 minutes without losing apps and messages/contacts etc.
If you're not sure about flashing then it's probably best to just wait. The update will be provided by LG themselves eventually through the update utility.
Think I will wait, have flashed phones before (put gb on my gt540) but knowing what cwn go wrong I daren't risk a contract phone as got two years til can replace it.

Same problem
I have an open phone in sweden. When uptating my phone i got v10k and i cant get v21a. Every check i updater and outside shows no possible update, but v10k. If i check update history in the updater it says v21a.
It is now a matter for the support and in the hands of the mobile phone expert. They have to solve the problem under the sales contract.
I got mine from a company that sells lots of different phones with various providers contracts so although my sim contract is with O2 in the UK the updates are not and the seller doesn't push ota updates so I have no idea how to find out where they come from.
Although I have rooted the phone now so if anyone knows a system file that stores details of where the update check connects to and replies with it I can check that

As you probably all know, in order to get the Lolipop OTA from Motorola you have to install the latest Update Services. But I can't download is from the Play Store because it says "This item isn't available in your country or on you carrier." Even if I install the apk from elsewhere it says my device is up to date. Of course I assume this is because I'm using it as a WiFi device and it is unactivated. Any ideas other than waiting to be able to flash it via fastboot or for OTA capture?
I do believe you will have to be active on boost network to get update. As the updates check to see the carrier and model I believe. say you have a phone activated on carrier x but it's actually a phone from another carrier. You won't get updates because carri r r won't push updates to phones that are not their models. At least that's the way it is on my tmobile note 4 that's running on a AT&T Sim card. I won't get update becu se AT&T won't push to my tmobile note4. I would guess you might be able to grab a captured ota but that will be the best bet. And again an experienced guess someone may correct me

I have a US version MM LTE Nvidia Shield tablet. After the recent update I don't have LTE anymore on my tablet. I have tried to go into Cellular network setting and change the network type manually but the option is not there. I have also tried putting the SIM card into another tablet to ensure that it gets LTE and it does. (Samsung Note Pro 12.2). I have also hard reset and even flashed the MM firmware to see if it was a software issue. Still can't get LTE. I have verified that it only connected to the HSDPA network in the Settings > About Tablet > Status > SIM Status > Cellular Network Type.
I have also tried to download various apps to change the Cellular network type none have worked as of yet.
Does anybody else who has this tablet have the same issue?
If so can anybody recommend a good work around or good ROM to flash to alleviate this issue. I honestly rather go back to the previous firmware version to have LTE back.
Update
I flashed back to Lollipop and still have the same issue.
Update 2
I flashed the ROW version and able to select LTE recommended from Cellular network settings but still doesn't get LTE.

Can you be more specific about which update you got? Are you using the US LTE firmware version 4.1? What method did you use to flash the firmware and did you use the full firmware or OTA?

I received the Marshmallow 4.1 update from Nvidia. I am using the US LTE firmware version 4.1. Once I realized I was not getting LTE I then reflashed the device using the guide supplied by Nvidia and from the user guide posted on this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/stock-recovery-images-ota-library-guides-t2988881
I was thinking of flashing the ROW LTE stock firmware on this device but I don't want to brick it.
Folks,
Happy 2018,
Quick one:
I bought a locked ATT SM-G955U & reflashed it to a SM-G955U1 (currently on the latest December Security update) but the issue here is that despite doing this and eliminating ATT bloatware my phone continues to show Service Provider SW Ver. 9889544437594c3958 XAA//ATT
My buddy have an unlocked SM-G955U1 out of the box & there is no Service Provider information on his phone settings. He also gets all updates via OTA without issues, whereas I need to flash using ODIN manually which is not an issue for me but will be easier to get the OTA updates.
My phone is almost perfect but is there any possibility of flashing the specific CSC file for the SM-G955U1 on my SM-G955U transformed to a SM-G955U1?
I guess this was explained clearly.
Thanks for your support. XDA is the best.
SW, if listed as xaa/xaa/att...is what you wanted. The last three are always hardwired. I bought a T-Mobile U1 and switched it to Verizon. So mine now says vzw/vzw/tmo. If I read correctly in previous postings, you may still be forced to update manually, if on ATT. I believe...
If you flashed the files correctly in ODIN, then you wont see the provider version at all. It doesn't appear in the unlocked firmware. And you'll also get OTAs just fine. I know, because I bought a VZW 955U and flashed it with the unlocked 955U1 software.
Yup I can confirm too. I flashed the unlocked firmware to my spring g955u.
I can get OTA updates same with unlocked phone
Precisely .. I need to flash the correct one...
Where do I get the unlocked firmware ?

Did you use regular ODIN or the modded Odin?
Where do you get the unlocked firmware from?
I got it from sammobile & the SW version persists
