Yes if your phone has original verizon software on it you only need download this and flash it in stock recovery..

Ok, thanks.
Now to Unroot the phone and return to stock, would flashing ATT_XT1058_4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-X-17-51_CFC_1FF.xml.zip (ATT US) work?

[Q] OTA updates on an unlocked AT&T G3

Hello everybody. This is my first post here in XDA. Please note that english is not my main language (I'm from Argentina).
I plan to buy at amazon the AT&T G3 model (D850) that has the same LTE bands that will run in my country. I will unlock it by IMEI code in order to use it in one of Argentina's cellphone companies. Unfortunately, international model D855 that is factory unlocked doesn't support my country LTE bands. I have doubts about the Android OTA updates after the unlock. Do I have to wait until AT&T releases Android updates or will I get that direct from LG? Also, what happens with updates with unlocked AT&T phones (by IMEI code unlock) running abroad on different cellular companies? Will I get updates from AT&T or I will be stuck with an old Android version?
Thanks in advance
Unless you are using an AT&T sim you won't receive ota updates from AT&T. Since the phone is a branded AT&T device you must receive updates from AT&T.

Is there a way to update Android in my situation? I saw there is a method through RUU to flash LG updates.

Probably due to ST being an mvno of att. There are numerous threads for numerous devices with this same question as the op, the answer always being the same.

***Here's my story trying to get GSM sim card to work on E8.***
Before I bricked my E8, I was able to get it UNLOCK (S-OFF) via SunShine(Theroot.ninja, cost you $25). I confirmed that with Sprint's original rom, you won't be able to use any GSM sim cards WHATSOEVER. (I've tried AT&T's & T-mobile) However, *I think* the correct procedure should be: 1.) get it S-OFF, 2.) change cid by fastboot oem writecid & 3.) wipe or install new rom in order to get GSM sim card recognized. Hopefully this info helps.
**BTW, can any one spare some time and do a TWRP backup for me to recover my messed-up E8? I would be very appreciated.

Don't update to lollipop otherwise you won't be able to unlock it.

That's not acurate.
I have a Sprint HTC One E8 with lollipop (5.0.2) and it was sucessfully unlocked. I am using it right now.
You must try sunshine and buy a license. ATT an T-mobile sims will not work.

Hi everyone. I'm in a similar situation. I live in Italy (sorry for my english, guys ) and I bought a branded Sprint HTC One E8 too from USA (single sim and made in Taiwan version). It arrived here supposedly unlocked (my UMTS sim works fine) and with Android Kitkat 4.4.2 installed on.
My intention is to upgrade it to Lollipop but I'm wondering if it is possible, because:
1. If I flash the Spring rom, what happens? Should the phone remains unlocked or it will be re-locked to Spring? And how will I be able to unlock it again?
2. If I change CID and install a stock rom (asian or european ones), I don't know if my sim card will work properly, because the Asian and European Rom are Gsm rom while the Spring rom is WCDMA rom( very similar to UMTS), as reported in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210
Very confused I need your support, thanks in advance :good:

Do you know if the previous owner had the phone unlocked by sprint? You should flash a custom recovery , do a backup and the try tu update to 5.0. If you lose GSM capabilities you can go back to 4.4
Do not flash any Asian or European roms, most of them are dual sI'm and sprint is single
So does anyone know a method to remain unlocked
My E8 is working fine on 4.4.2 with sprint badboy unlock but will it stay that way if i update to latest by OTA.

Unlock is permanent even if you take OTA. If you don't want to take a risk just do a backup of your current version and take the OTA, if you lose your unlock go back to your previous version.
Still not sure about it
Someone on other thread said that if u update u loose unlock and than u can't go back.
So has anyone tried.

There's no other method or way other than getting a sim. At least that model is a TON better than the Sprint model you had before.
