I just buy the international version of ion lte/4g but forger to check is that compatible to Virgin mobile( Australia ) is there any solution for me to run the Virgin sim on the device??? By the way there is a update version 6.0.F.0.111(19.4mb) what is the different if I update it? can it be soft brick as the forum used to be
Don't know about virgin.
111 fw is ginger bread, you're more than safe to update. After you do update you'll likely get another update for 29 (ICS).

I know here in the states Virgin runs on Sprints CDMA towers so it would not work here. Did not know they had a sim card in Ausi land. Virgin is not one to let you bring a device to their service as they want you to buy one of the ones they offer.
thanks for you post all. So I use my phone to update graduate(slowly/ step by step) or just use PC companion to up to the lastest 6.1.E.2.29???
By the way I know how to active the sim from Virgin mobile hahaha. No one know before for sure. If anyone using the same device I will happy to show them :fingers-crossed:

I need windows 6.5 for Canada Telus HTC Touch Pro 2. Have they released a version for Canada? If so, where could I find it?
I've been trying to upgrade my OS and when I attempt to download the update it gives me an error saying "this download is not suitable for this device" I believe it is because the download is for european phones.
In addition to this question, has anyone had any success unlocking the Touch Pro 2 from Telus to Rogers?
A quick response would be muchly appreciated.
Thank you!!!
ROMs are carrier specific, for the most part. If it isn't on the HTC website, only Telus would be releasing a new ROM. Most carriers have stopped development since the phone has been discontinued. Not likely you'll see a new OEM ROM if one hasn't come out already.
that sucks!! I don't understand why the rest of the world is compatible with this upgrade but canadian clients arn't? doesn't make much sense to me. but thank you for the reply

Complain to your carrier. The stock ROMs are locked to the carrier they are released to by design. If Telus doesn't have an update for it on their website, then there isn't one available. As far as unlocking it to use on another cellular network, you would have to obtain an unlock code from your carrier. This would SIM unlock your device, allowing you to use any GSM carrier with your phone.
Hi, I'm using a sony arc s, i bought it from amazon , how can I know it is an international (sim free) version or a lock version (from a operator)?
If it is simlock version, how can i know which operator it belongs to?
I need to know that because I can know when my phone can get update
Thank you

I can find the page on amazon to help you, but only to be sure - can you post a link to page where you found the phone?
If your phone have
T-mobile startup - is branded to t-mobile
Vip startup - is branded to VIP
Also with sounds, if you have sounds from some network provider it is branded to them.
if your phone have only SE STARTUP - is unlocked and sim free (non branded)
----------
Also you can debrand your phone with flashing it with GENERIC WORLD files
T-Mobile hasn't a different bootanimation, just look for operator specific apps.

I want to buy a 900 in the US (i'm from the Netherlands) with an ATT lock on it.
Therefore I want to debrand the phone because the update by ATT aren't as good as it should be. When you unlock or debrand an Android phone for example you will not be able to get the FOTA updates, is this the same when you unlock or debrand your lumia 900 from ATT?
I've read that the branded ATT version isn't getting all the updates that Microsoft is doing, and because of that I want to debrand it.
I haven't found any information on the web so I am forsed to ask it here.
thx.
There is currently no way of "debranding" or dev unlocking the phone and no guarantee that there will be.
My HTC TITAN still has no bootloader available.
I would bet on fairly good support from AT&T on the Lumia...more so than normal from them.
That being....I have not recieved an update from AT&T for my Titian either....
If the international firmware is out, it is of course doable.

Guys it seems that the uk virgin mobile company has now released the ONE V so PLEASE either say your using GSM version or the CDMA (simless) mobile PLEASE....it will help us to help you and avoid killing your phone
*edit*
VIRGIN MOBILE CANADA YOU GUYS ARE ALSO GSM SO USE THE GSM TAGGED ROMS
thanks

That is correct, I live in the UK and have the One V from Virgin Media - here's to hoping that people don't get mixed up between Virgin Mobile GSM and CDMA and brick their phones

Yeah, I was actually about to suggest [GSM] and [CDMA] thread tags
whacking this back up
Very helpful! Was wondering which one was mine.
Better option
It would be better if we separate the GSM and CDMA threads like "One V GSM Android Development" and "One V CDMA Android Development" to avoid confusion...
Just suggesting guys as it would be easier to maintain threads and mix ups.. :silly:
im a noob and i believe i soft bricked my htc one v from cricket wirless and im stuck

yeah my phone is all but dead outside of bootloader mode. smh. fml. i just paid 250 for it a week ago. and im looking at all this on how to fix it and its a foreign language to me. its gotten to the point where i dont care about the custom firmware no more (which would be awesome tho) and just to get my phone back
helpful , thank you
I wish more people did this, i was unaware of this difference when rooting/ installing roms on my one v and almost bricked my device because No one labelled CDMA or GSM, it caused all sorts of trouble and a few hours more hassle then it should have been

The [GSM Flash Recovery] is for all phones that are sold and made in the USA or countries that are associated. [CDMA Flash Recovery] is for all phones that are sold and made in other countries (Europe, Asia, etc.)

WRONG. The Virgin Mobile USA version is CDMA. And most versions in other countries are GSM. To avoid confusion, I would go with lloir's suggestion. If it has a sim card it IS GSM. If it doesn't have one, it IS CDMA. Some countries in Asia do use the CDMA network, IIRC.
well which is it??
I'm getting ready to order a new phone and I'm leaning towards the One V from Virgin Mobile(I live in the USA). However I have been researching roms and root methods and I want to make sure I am looking at the right threads. Is the USA version of the One V from Virgin Mobile CDMA or GSM????
Virgin Mobile USA uses CDMA.
?
What's the difference between primo c and primo u? And any other primo's that I don't know about?
As far as I know...
PrimoU = GSM 3G
PrimoC = CDMA 3G
Everything else, is the same.

Phone must be in fastboot mode. Connect to your computer with the USB cable that came with your phone. Open a command prompt and cd c:\fastboot(assuming your fastboot folder is on your c: drive). Make sure you have the boot.IMG copied to your fastboot folder. In the command prompt, once your in your fastboot folder type" fasboot flash boot boot.img". If everything was done correctly then it should complete without any errors.

Don't use the boot.img from that rom if you are virgin mobile!!!! Use either JMZ's ics kernel or Simon's sick kernel for CDMA
the reason is the boot.img from that rom is from the GSM version as far as I know that will cause a hard brick of the phone
s-off
if only s-off could be achieved. im trying to fix my aunts phone now and no s-off is really pissing me off because she took the ota and as far as i can tell sick kernel is the only choice to boot any custom rom running this hboot and radio and bluetooth wont work on sick.lets just say she is pissed cause she has to have bluetooth for her job.

I have rooted this phone, flashed TWRP Recovery and Flashed an unlock zip package which modified the baseband frequency of the phone with sprint. This modded unlock package is suppose to allow using the phone outside the USA...is for blacklisted phone of this post ONLY. But I haven't left the USA to test it yet. I return to Yucatan, Mexico in 5 days and will update this post...
If it works, contact me and I can direct you.
:good:
I hope to see if I can unlock. Any event notify them. Likewise if you manage to direct me how to do it please
