OTA updates

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.

[Q] D850 Issue (accident)

So here's the thing. I accidentally put Sphinx Rom on my D850. The rom is only for D855. Now my mic and headset do not work. I have tried to flash back to stock rom, but it won't let me since it believes my phone is an D855 now. Anyone have any ideas?

This is just a thought, but maybe you could check your build.prop and compare it to that of an untouched D850 and mirror that on your device / look for any differences. I have used this trick to fool certain apps/etc to install by making them think one device was another device, for example, installing tablet only games on a phone. I am not sure if this would remedy your situation and allow you to return to stock, especially with our current bootloader situation making it all the more difficult.
I guess one other option would be to get it replaced under warranty, without being "untruthful" to your carrier of course... Just play dumb
Just food for thought like I said, and your mileage may vary.
Maybe others can chime in and add some other thoughts.
Good luck!

Hmm. I'll try searching.

All, correct me if I am wrong but I believe that the D855 is the international version, while the D851 is the T-Mobile version.
OP said that the ROM was only for D855.
Thoughts?

The title specifies a d850 not a d851. The d850 has a locked bootloader therefor you cannot install a custom recovery let alone a rom. I dont care if the rom was a d855 or d851 or for the d850.

I'm aware... I was clarifying the difference between the D851 and D855. I am well aware of the locked bootloader.

OK I'm confused, why are you even talking about a d851 at all? The 2 devices that the OP listed was a D850 and D855. We all all aware of the differences of the devices that is why we are questioning how he flashed anything on the D850 in the first place

Because of the first quoted post above... Does everything have to become an argument these days? I was clarifying for that individual, and it clearly says "Tmobile"...

Number one who is arguing that person was still asking how to flash a rom on the d850. Just relax no one is attacking anyone i was just trying to understand your post.

He didn't. It's virtually impossibly without unlocked boot loader and custom recovery. If he had it would have rendered it unbootable.

Mine is Note Edge T Mobile. Already had Unlocked it. But, my concern is, How could I remove the T-Mobile carrier apps and branding. Also, Can I install the international or Indian Version ROM on this?

How to find code name of device? And compatibility question.

How do you find the code name of your device? Ex. d2att for the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Also, I think (tell me if I'm wrong) that the phones I'm looking at from Wind Mobile work with T-Mobile phones. If this is true, does that mean a ROM in the T-Mobile forum that doesn't list the exact model number of the Wind Mobile phone (ex. if it listed SM-G920T but didn't list SM-G920W8) will still work with that ROM?

unfortunately i cant answer that, but i can comment on it.
there are a small amount of phones that you can flash a rom that wasnt specifically made for it, but if you cant find proof before trying, there is a real risk of permanent brick if your wrong.
take the g3 for instance (only because i know about this device),
you can take a vzw g3 and use it on tmo, but you can not flash a tmo rom on it because it is a vzw phone.
if your just talking about a rom, and not actual stock firmware, the risk of issues is still there, but generally, more likely fixable because its not flashing key partitions that could render your device unfixable.
i am in no way suggesting you try it, only because if it bricks the phone i dont want to be responsible, but if it were me, and i had a backup to restore the phone, and stock files to flash if need be, i would try it. but you would have to be in a position to buy a new phone if things go terribly wrong. if not, then i wouldnt do it.

I'm not sure if we have the same understanding. I mean just like how the Bell Samsung Galaxy S3 can flash AT&T ROMs, I'm wondering if that would be the same for Wind Mobile flashing T-Mobile ROMs even if the model number is not exactly the same (ex. flashing a SM-G920T ROM on a SM-G920W8).
And yeah, I'm talking about flashing an AOSP ROM rather than stock firmware ROM (TouchWiz, Sense, Etc).

maybe you will get some help if you ask in the specific device forum q&a of the devices you need info about. usually thats the best place to ask questions if the device specific forums exist for your models.

yea go for it. maybe stagger your post a bit though. dont throw them all in at once.

Canadian here. All T-Mobile ROMs will work on our Canadian owned S6s. Sometimes an extra custom kernel needs to be flashed, but they will work.
Also, try going to download.cyanogenmod.com to search for your device, then you will see the codename at the end of all nightly zip filenames.
Good luck.

This depends if someone takes up the challenge or not.
I have a thread for ppl wanting to start working on exploits in the security section, perhaps you should take a look

I'm never updating in hope for a root.
