I recently bought two HTC Titans from the States. They were supposed to be unbranded thru Amazon, but AT&T ones arrived and then were unlocked and working. They both have ROM version 7720 loaded. Connecting through Zune, I get the message that software and phones are up to date. This is obviously incorrect as the following updates are missing: 8107, 8112, 8773. Doing some rearch, I understand that AT&T is not going to roll out any more updates for their phones, even though they are unlocked. I tried forcing the update (by diconnecting while updating) but to no avail. Can anybody please assist with some advice.
Is it true that if the updates are not up to date, then 7.8 won't load and update?
HTC managed to get me a UK ROM, but the file is in .nbf file format and they are scared it wont work on my phones. Should we try and update or is there another solution?
Your help will be greatly appreciated. I want to keep the phones as current as possible and able to accept WP7.8.

It's not known so far whether 7.8 will be only available if you've received all previous updates.
I don't think that the UK ROM would have issues, but it might result in problematic signal quality with the non-AT&T radio driver. You might want to HSPL the device and flash a custom ROM with that radio.
Also, be aware that you can force system updates on the phone using th cab sender method.

cab sender method sounds like the answer but seems so complicated if you are not so technicaly minded!

Don't worry, it sounds more complicated than it is. Just read through this thread very thoroughly.
It's really just about making a backup, download a few files (the updates), putting these in a folder, run this tool and press 2 keys. The guide there explains it very in-depth.
Be sure to not to skip the text, as you for instance will have issues if you don't update your languages, too.

Thanks for the encouragement. A few questions if I may please: Article talks about language packs - do these refer to Display language (English) or all keyboard languages?
Tried using Version and Language by Heathcliff74.xap, but phone gives message that it does not recognise file format.
Lastly, should I load all updates in sequence, or can I go straight to Tango (are the others necessay? I presume yes)
Thanks once again Cheers Calli

Hey people,
I recently purchased a Korean variant of the S4 Mini. The model is SHV-370K. To my findings, its equal to the main version I9195. Is that correct? I do have the NFC chip installed. My question is, can I flash an official ROM like the ones used in the I9195? I have to much KOREAN language apps and I dont think I am prepared to root it. If I can flash an official ROM on this via ODIN?, will I still be able to get the OTA? My current version is 4.2.2. And checking on Sammobile I have the latest. The Korean stuff is just to much of a hassel and I am not sure if I will even get an update. Can I flash an official ROM and not lose warranty and root?
My second question is that I cannot make Group Play work on 2 of these S4 Mini's. They just dont connect. It says Network Lost and sometimes failed to join group. I've tried working it over with NFC and Wifi Direct. Normal gallery pictures and everything send easy, just this app that I really really want to use. Would be great if some one would help me.
My last question is that ChatON keeps giving an Error while checking for push services. I have tried everything. Changed networks, tried Mobile Networks. All my apps are up to date, even the annoying Samsung Push Service. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much people.
Have a great day.
Oh and I think its Carrier Branded? Cuz it has this Olleh writen on its back cover?
So ChatON and Group Play is working after they have been updated most recently. I did update them before but they dint seem to work. The current updates work good. Any one about the ROM issue? Would love some help <3.

Hi guys,
Have you found any solution to this problem? I'm also an [almost] happy owner of a Korean-branded S4 Mini and as USSD codes don't work, was told that firmware needs to be changed. But this being specifically a Korean phone, I'm not sure other ROMs out there will even be 100% compatible.
Thanks,
Vit

Thanks, but I don't think I have to enter a password, since other phones work without it. Unless it's somehow phone-specific, but my operator reps would probably have told me (instead they just said the firmware needs to be changed). What secret menu are we talking about? perhaps aI could investigate. At any rate, if there someone has managed to flash the Korean version of the phone with a more "universal" firmware, I'd like to know. Thanks!

you don't need the menu for the ussd, korean version has their own set of ussd, they are different from the international version, some are the same , but most are different.

Please forgive me as I'm a total noob, but after your last reply it hit me: we're probably talking about different USSDs. I meant that my operator USSD codes didn't work, the ones that I send to find out my remaining balance and to also enable/disable services etc. (e.g. I would send *444#2#1 to find out my remaining balance), not the phone's own USSD codes (like the service menus etc, e.g. the IMEI check with *#06#). Operator USSD codes just don't work - the phone either sits trying to connect for a few minutes (locking the phone down during this time), or just says that the signal is too weak. So I guess I do need to install a different firmware to fully unlock it.
Thanks for trying to help though, I'm learning new stuff!

Mate I have the same problem here. The USSD codes just dont work. My balance check does work though. All I have noticed that USSDS that need two steps dont work. Example to transfer credits, I type *456# and in return it should ask me what number I need to transfer my credits, but it just doesnt work. I have tried the menu but no idea what that is all about. Still cannot find what to do.
Secondly I met some one at the forums who has the same device as ours. HE said installing Cynogen Mod is working and it doesnt effect us having a model of SHV something. LOL. So I dont know if I should go ahead and flash a custom rom. I would rather flash an official rom but no one is helping here and I cant seem to find any. Like maybe we could flash an english rom from UK. Something official like the normal I9195 have! Not some korean ones.
New Update.
Hey people! I just got an OTA update and all I see new is a Google Drive icon. The update is still on 4.2.2 and not 4.3. It was about 96mb of file size. How can I take out the changelog and read what bug fixes it brings?
hello
how to do I move from SHV or change the CSC code?
for now getting only the Korean pop up messages.
Want to change to Australia CSC code.

I've read about CSC Select app (on google play market), but I think you need root for this to work. I'm not an expert on that though.

hi all-
Can anyone tell me if there is a hardware difference in the radios of NA/EUR models of the LG G3 such as the D855/852/850? Is it possible to change radio band support by flashing a different radio or other mods? I recall that this was possible with the Nexus4, to enable LTE support when the stock phone had it disabled. Could you flash a different radio baseband package to enable AWS on a D850/852, or additional LTE bands on a D855? I have a Bell D852 that I'd like to be able to use effectively on Wind, or T-Mobile in the US but obviously it doesn't support all of their frequency bands.
[update 11-18-2014] I've changed the title to reflect that editing G3 radio bands appears to be possible, user JustLiveIt has done so with a D855, but we do not have full details yet. Much more testing with different models besides the D855 is required!
Hi,
I am interested to know the answer to this for the reason you just gave, as well as myself having issues with low signal area performance.
If you find out the answer, please share it.
Cheers,
Maybe a better or more precise question would be; do the G3 models have a baseband radio package that is flashable separate from the existing ROMs? Can someone familiar with the previous LGOG->N4 conversions and the process to turn on the N4 LTE radio define what is necessary in this phone?
Simply put: this sort of thing clearly has been possible before with older LG models like making the Optimus G (E970/973) compatible with Nexus4 ROMs due to having common components. And logistically/economically it's in a manufacturers interest to keep the highest commonality of components for economies of scale in manufacturing. So logically- the various G3 models should use as few different hardware parts as possible, and differences should be defined in software as much as possible.
Has anyone tried this Qualcomm SoC dev mode hack on the D850 or D852? JustLiveIt has done testing on a D855 only so far. This thread seems to indicate that any and all GSM bands could be enabled on any current Qualcomm SoC.
Any D850, D852. D851, F460, etc users who feel lucky.. please give this radio edit a try and let us know!
Does anyone have the specific instruction set for LG phones or the G3 in particular? I have tried sending PMs to the LG users in the Qualcomm unlock thread but still no reply.
D852 sitting idle, awaiting some LG-specific instructions. I'm willing to do some testing and provide feedback, I just need a guide on testing with the G3, everyone else in the Qualcomm thread is either Sony or HTC users it seems. And neither of the users working with LG phones in that thread have responded in a week..
I got a reply back from JustLiveIt on Wednesday, unfortunately he has been offline while moving from the US overseas, so he will try to provide his radio details to-date on the D855 as soon as he is able. :good:
It's easy on LG phone...I have tested on G2 CloudyG3 (I just bought new G2 so far )
1.Install LG United driver
2.Require root
3.Turn on USB Debugging and switch to MTP mode
4. Connect the phone to PC and open terminal
5. Type this
adb shell
su
echo 1> / sys / devices / platform / lg_diag_cmd / diag_enable
setprop sys.usb.config acm, diag, mtp, adb

6. After that check your Device manager, this will show up "Ports (LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (ComXX))" ComXX is any number
7. Now you can do anything, play with it....

That's weird...No comment...
So what can we do to re-add or load the necessary files on a Lollipop ROM? OR do we need to flash back to a stock Kitkat build? Does anyone who actually knows anything ever read these threads??
---
I've only been looking and asking for help and information for FOUR MONTHS in the G3 forums and the Qualcomm chipset thread and noone has provided any tangible information for the G3 phones, ever. I said right from the start I was willing to use my D852 to test and provide feedback, noone could even be bothered to reply. I asked people who claimed they'd had success with other G3 models, they provided nothing. This is why people hate on XDA- because it's full of useless posers who can't do anything except rehash files written or edited by others and take their credit. LOL ROMz!1one!!wan But ask for something original and useful to edit the hardware? Complete silence. Guess I may as well just sell my 852 and go buy an 851 on eBay, at least it will have what I wanted out of the box, for only $500.

Sorry, this is actually just the LG service menu accessible on any stock ROM LG phone with the standard 3845# code.. It is not really unlocking or enabling anything that wasn't already available from your provider. In fact this is pretty clearly an LG service code testing hook as this works on the stock ROM, but does not work at all on a Lollipop ROM such as Candy5. 3845# doesn't work there either.
Has anyone gotten this to work?
I have a d851 on t-mobile in the us and want to try to enable band 12 for lte
Glad that this treat is revoked again and sorry that there still is no usefully info about some interesting questions, specifically about hardware ( also regardless to ^^^post#15), would like to provide some personal update and experience past couple mounts with mine d851 model that i don't want to give up, since where i am, accordingly to lte i need bands 3 and 20, which d851 officially doesn't have them.
I did try every info that was find on net, was do a every idea that i can thing of (lacky me phone survive after couple serious crashes ), what from i know fore sure in editing android or it was hit and miss, try and error, restrictions of free (read demo) softwares, pagans magic and voodoo zens, etc etc... all i can say that i didn't succeed in enabling 3 and 20 bands and still looking for answers.
Also have a question: is it possible to change some hardware part (radio, modem, soc, whatever) and from d851 to transform in d855/d850/bands 3,20, and supporting it with appropriate software (kernel, baseband, whatever)?
I got it working.
working with qxdm not in a band 12 area dont know if it worked but settings sticking from boot.
You need to set the selinux to permissive then run from a su adb prompt
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/lg_diag_cmd/diag_enable
setprop sys.usb.config acm,diag,mtp,adb
I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059 but the only addition was using this to change selinux to permissive http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524485

Then, maybe we find a way to get the standard touch back, perhaps with newer W10M updates (eg tricking it as a different device, thus restoring the "normal", non-3Dtouch updated files) or in the worst case, we could perhaps find a workaround with the drivers...
some background,
I am after thorough tests on the topic of how it works VoLTE and VoWiFi And what causes it to be activated in some providers and in some not.
The source from which I drew all a lot of information was: https://volteromania.blogspot.com/p/samsung-voltevowifi-settings.html?m=1
Actually, I followed all the steps but got stuck on the most important part.
In order to start communication for VoLTE It is necessary to define a profile IMS.
Samsung chose - unlike APN Not to allow any user to create such a profile, but the profiles are inside files json in the file /system/priv-app/imsservice/imsservice.apk
I am very interested in trying to edit the files json These, but all my attempts were unsuccessful.
I have a Samsung S21 ultra Rooted, on which I perform the tests.
I can't edit the APK without hurting him. Any change in it causes the application not to load - and completely disables the service IMS and the registration.
The files I want to edit are in
/priv-app/imsservice/imsservice.apk/res/raw
It's files json simple.
Maybe someone can help me?
im curruntly trying to enable Volte on Samsung SM-N920L korean phone in defferent region..no luck..im rooting for you..if any succuss please let we know too..
I gave up.
This is Samsung's behavior on purpose to make consumers have to replace the phones.
Anyway, in the technical part,
In Android 13, in my opinion, this is not completely possible, since every change in the application damages the signature, but even in older versions it is necessary to change the Java code as well, And as you know it is compiled.
I spent many hours on this, with several devices, I purchased a Galaxy 7 for the tests, and I failed.
I do not know if this still works, but on my SM-9700 (HK) with Android 10 I made VoLTE work in Germany by copying the "product/omc/DBT/conf" from a SM-970F to the corresponding TGY directory of the SM-9700.
I was able to run volte on the galaxy s7.
It requires a lot of changes.
Including in the smali files of the application imsservice.apk and it was a nightmare.
In my case I had to add a brand new provider that didn't appear anywhere, maybe that's why everything was complicated and maybe if it's a defined operator and just enabling the option is simpler.
Anyway,
It really wasn't easy, but I had most of the information from the first post I wrote, but I was also able to find a lot on my own.
It is not easy.
Maybe Samsung will release the source code (including java) of the imsservice.apk application and then it will be easier..
Have you ever tried just copying the content of the conf directory from another phone?
This made VoLTE work on my Hong Kong Note10 (Snapdragon) in Germany.

I have nowhere to copy. I don't have a phone that works with the same carrier I wanted to test. I had to write all the settings myself.
Which carrier do you need? We (the forum) might copy it for you.

t what phone is this
I tried Galaxy S7, Android 8.
I don't think the solution I came up with is suitable for every device.

I have an S7 and I need to do exactly what you did - add a brand new provider. Can you share more precise details on how you did it?

Hi,
I would like to have your guidance
I have a LG v60 L-51a docomo model where field test option (hidden menu ) is disabled.
I am unable to enable volte in India to use jio.
Searched various options seems no way out. However i was able to locate hidden apps by using 3party launcher app. LG ims. But unable to launch hidden menu to changed ims settings. Help me to by pass this application to enable volte.
I don't know if this will help anyone, or if anyone can help me, but...
SM910v, (verizon wireless) with T-Mobile SIM
6.01 Marshmallow (please read the rest anyway)
4G/LTE Data works.
Voice calls fall back to 2G/Edge, ie no VoLTE.
-------- HOWEVER -------
Changing the sales_code.dat from VZW to TMO enables VoLTE, and it works great.
(it breaks the settings pages, though, so it's not a solution)
When sales_code is VZW, then IMS Settings-->IMS Information:
All are "false", Registration Information is "no profile is registered", although the profile "T-Mobile VoLTE/RCS" is available and status is 'on' in the Manage IMS Profiles page.
I can not find a way to 'register' it.
When sales_code is TMB,
then, in IMS Settings-->IMS Information:
All are "true", Registration Information is "T-Mobile VoLTE/RCS",
And, of course, VoLTE works great.
I mention this in this thread because just having the correct profile present & available may not be enough. At least in my case, it appears that the sales_code (or some other CSC function) flips a flag somewhere that allows the profile to become selected/active. I've been trying to find it for six weeks, with no luck yet. Thanks for reading.
