I just got this phone from Amazon, andI can't update my phone. It says I need to revert my phone to the official HTC system software. How do I do this? I contacted HTC, but was told it could be a couple weeks before someone can help me. I'm unable to send or receive MMS messages.

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

I feel your pain. I was overeager, and S-Off/Rooted my phone right out of the box...which the procedure had me flash the Harmonia ROM....now I wish I hadn't, because whenever I flash the stock ROM, I get boot loop. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to get my phone activated...maybe not exactly the stock ROM, but perhaps a modified ROM that works for VM's activation?
I've seen many threads about this issue originating because the apparent H900 model for some people turned out to be a different model somehow converted to look like this, and everyone had the exact same issues as me, namely
1. LG VPN has stopped working error
2. Fingerprint/security tab causes settings to crash
3. Attempting to uninstall apps causes instant soft reboot
Some folks mentioned fixing their phones by finding the actual model of their phone and flashing the correct firmware. But AFAIK, no flashing software allows flashing of a different model. And none of them was clear about the actual steps they did to fix it.
Since I'm on Marshmallow, I cannot root, and I cannot rollback to the firmware I had in my phone.
Can anyone please share how they fixed their phone or someone expert in the matter?
Warranty/Motherboard replacement are out of question for me.
Any help is appreciated.
Same here please somebody help.
Same, did you find a solution? :/
same problems
Same probleme... Any update for this?
I see on AT&T website they have been rolling out the software update ver. H900z in USA only?
So we out side USA cant get OTA update?
There some one can give the backup rom?
LIKELY NO CAN'T HELP US ON LG V10 H900W AT&T:crying::crying::crying:

Finally Found 1000% fix for all this type of issues. Security Menu to App Uninstall all-everything OK. Just need to flash an special modified firmware based on VS990 Hardware. The current Firmware version is Android 6.0.
NB: This is not for free and not for individual one. $150 will cost this type of firmware. So, this solution is for Service Personnel or Professional's only. Contact me for details on Skype or Gmail (rassel2k). Goodluck.
Too bad the price of the phone itself, 2nd hand (H900,H901,VS990,F600), is around $100 here.
Can anyone tell me if there is newer software for this phone on AT&T?
Currently:
Model LM-G900UM
SW VERSION G900UM10e
Security June 1, 2020
I'm reading there is a version G out, but I'm not getting an update. I even tried a new SIM.
I have the Canadian version, same model and no we haven't had a software update here either
From my knowledge the only ones that have gotten an update are the international unlocked versions which are running the Snapdragon 845
At&t has had two security updates and they're not getting to me. No one at at&t seems to know what to do.
So, this saga has finally ended. My firmware was G900UM10e. VPN bug, and phone would not take OTA. It kept saying I had the latest firmware. To their credit, AT&T support DID try everything. The phone wouldn't even take a push from their servers. New SIM card, factory reset, nada.
So, they sent a warranty replacement with G900UM10n loaded. VPN works perfect. I NEED it for work. And, today I managed to get G900UM10o over the air.
Either the IMEI of my old phone was MAJORLY hard bricked on their update server, or there was a bug in 10e blocking OTA.
Anyhoo, just wanted to share.

I haven't tried the VPN, but I would like to update to Android 11, and I am still stuck with the June 1, 2020 security patch on android 10 with the software version of G900UM10e and my model number is LM-G900UM. I got mine from the USA but am currently living in South Africa, so is there any way that I can fix this issue?
Only if you have an AT&T Sim card. You can't do an OTA update unless it's on the AT&T network.
e is the variant I got stuck on. Since I got my warranty replacement, I've gotten numerous updates, including Android 11.

So basically, I can't ever receive updates unless I get an AT&T SIM card and are on their wireless network?

Correct.
Well, that sucks. Do you know of any way to bypass it, or is there a custom ROM that I can install on this variant of the LG Velvet?
