This is true. One of my family members works for att and had told me that they absolutely know nothing about phone updates until the day it is released. Att reps have no clue about what is going on.

I have never once had an AT&T rep know a single thing more than I do about any of their phones. I usually end up correcting them.

Well, I'm stock and I've had the issue of mobile data not working. Oh, and let's not forget the terrible awake times that drain the battery. It seems unfair that these forums would only be for those who unlock their bootloaders and install custom roms. Maybe you're right though and maybe I'll just go elsewhere if I need help.
Why call AT&T for regards to an update anyway. You will have much better luck calling the manufacture. Sometimes you can get them to throw the carrier under the bus. Sometimes they say the update has already been submitted to the carrier for testing. Of course they could be lying. My point is, you won't get a right answer for AT&T but you may get a plausible answer from LG.

No worries dude, it's all good. May i ask...if you've rooted why not go the extra mile and try Slick ROM? Or, one of the others, you can always go back? Being rooted, do you remove the AT&T/LG bloatware?

Hey, guys. I bought a Droid DNA to use on AT&T. Everything is working fine, but it came with the older software version (1.5) and I'm not planning to root, so I wanted to update it to 2.04.
The problem is, it's not an option. It seems like it will only let me update if I have a CDMA signal. Anyone know a way around this? I already took out my SIM card and set it to CDMA mode. That actually lights up the "check for updates" button, but it still doesn't find anything. There has to be a way to update this phone without Verizon service.
You could root then flash the ota

Honestly, root it then flash an rom that's based on 2.04. You'll be happier.

It probably had something to do with the fact that I specifically said "without rooting" and that was the immediate response...IDIOT.
Example:
Question: "Can anyone recommend an action movie that doesn't star Bruce Willis".
Answer: "I recommend Die Hard".
Duh?
It's not helpful to suggest the one thing that someone says they don't want to do. That's what I would classify as smartass. I was trying to see if anyone else knew of another method. The friend sim card came up as an option later. I suggest you check yourself.
For those crying "root" because the phone was on a software version that allows it, I flip my phones pretty quickly and I don't want to permanently unlock a phone that I will probably be selling or trading sometime in the near future.

the only difference is the CPU stepping, a smidge bigger battery (which will last the same time for the bigger screen), a bigger screen.
Although the CPU is a S2 there really is no difference in the two. GPS does go out on some Thunderbolt's. CM10.1 is JB; I and a couple
more devs are working on it right now, though CM9 isn't even fully working. which is ICS. If you have S-OFF AND full root then you will
have great fun with it. The Thunderbolt won't disappoint... I have played with both and they are just as fast... I say go for it!
oh with dual 3G radios you cannot go wrong :b
Also what do u think about the rezound I can get one of those for under 130$ is it better ?

I say dont get the tb. Its old outdated and runs hot enough to keep your pocket warm on a cold day. If u look around a bit more a 100 bucks will take you a bit farther then the tb. Being as it was the first real 4g phone it has quite a few issues. Data stalls being a major flaw in the device. I had 4 in my house hold. And htc chased me right over to samsung.

even over-clocked and using it for constant radio (BT) streaming it never got warm on me.
I was running ICS Bliss on it... which isn't released yet but hey....
I had the bolt and it never ran hot unless I was charging it and running tethering at the same time. if the phone was running hot all the time you either had the governor set to performance or you had a bad battery. I have the rezound now and loads better over the bolt. so get that over the bolt you won't be sorry. the only thing the bolt had over the rezoind was it was so easy to unlock and get s off. even with the latest boot loader update the bolt got its still easier. with the resound to get s off you have to do the wire trick.
you can look on swappa for phones as many people buys them on there.

I had a thunderbolt before getting a S3 and there are times I miss the bolt. I had great luck with each ROM (SOAB, Thunder Shed, and Santod's ICS Eternity. Heck, I would have loved trying his new Bliss ROM. If you decide you want a bolt and I can figure out how to clear mine I can sell you it with an OEM and Rezound battery, a couple of cases (including a PowerSkin case) for $100. I have been hanging on to it in case a developer needed it, so no worries if you would prefer the Rezound.

I dont think we will ever see MHL work in a AOSP rom, not so much a CM10 thing as its a AOSP thing. I want to say that it has to do something HTC code and not a google code. I could be wrong, but for as long as AOSP has been on this phone, i dont beleive MHL has ever been support on it
---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------
Actually just jumped over to the dev part, and it appears the MHL is a sense only thing meaning that it does have to do with some sort of HTC that is most likey closed source. So it will probably never happen
thanks I am just trying to figure out if I want the droid razr or this phone and the razr has hdmi and that is part if the phone lol also it runs android 4.1 out of the box now and I am just thinking if it will be supported longer with the devs because of that.

the rez is an older phone so i would imagine that support for it will start to drop in the near feature as HTC moves away from it, there will be less and less support because we are currently getting bits and pieces from other HTC phones to get JB to work as the rez will prob never see it. So as the 8660 platform goes away, we will be seeing less and less stuff happening for this phone...its sad, but its what happens
so would the razr be more supported?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
Well the org RAZR was released around the same time so its prolly going to be in the same situation at some point. It depends what your doing with it. You will have more options with an HTC phone then a moto because moto is notorious for locking the boot loader so devs tend not to work with them. Not that there isn't custom ROMs just not as much. Personally if it was me I would say the rez. I have one and love it and support isn't going to drop tomorrow for it. Its still a good phone with decent hardware. The problem we will run into is new OS support. Like we might not see klp on the rez. It might stop at jb but that yet to be seen. Both phones are very good I know ppl that have the RAZR and love it. The few features you don't get with cm based ROMs with the rez def should not stop you from considering it. The dev for this phone is still strong and still has a huge support following

its a sense only thing because its not just an HDMI port. HTC has the code for the MHL and they aren't sharing.
i think its a money thing. if we had source we could make every phone have MHL

The screen may be wider, but if you compare them side by side, I believe you will choose the rezound. 720p and much higher PPI. You can watch movies on this phone comfortably and they look great. But for battery, the razr wins, unless you get an extended, but it will make the rezound 2x thick. Still, the screen is something to behold...
Well I think the rezound Is good just some of the things the razr has out weighs the rezound. Thank you to all for you help!

I feel I can do this manually if I knew the proper sequence of what to push and install to the phone .
Im pretty confident in my skills with ADB, Fastboot, and Odin.
I also am aware of the dangers . So if anyone would like to chime in Id be grateful.

Uhhh.. I had problems with it too cause I run a weird distro that was angering it with paths and versions of various things.
I would up unpacking it, and repacking it and running it that way. It took several attempts to get all the paths right and so fourth. Can you post some straces or logs here and we can see what's horking up?
IIRC, there's a master script in there that does most of the heavy lifting and a lot of dynamically compiled progs and a few statics once you extract it all by hand.

Well there was a case similar to yours where they had flashed stock using the Note 2 Toolkit and it was a pre-release version and AFAIK it had to be JTAGed. Mainly because one user tried doing a lot of stuff and I think the guy who got it back just didn't want to or have the time to fool with it anymore.

Oh boy. I'm familiar with jtag but not with phones. Sounds like a learning experience.

Well you would have to send it off to MobileTechVideos to do it.
And just in case you are wondering the JTAG they use for our phones is called a Riff Box, you can find them on eBay for $50-$200 depending on how lucky you are.
The way it works, just in case you don't know how it works with phones, is they pull the MoBo and solder the Riffs little interface wires (they're just individual pieces of ribbon cable) to the phones JTAG contacts. You can actually build an interface for your phones MoBo for the JTAG with breadboard that way you don't have to solder directly to it, AdamOutler has a video in which he uses a Riff box and uses the custom breadboard piece to JTAG the phone (I think it was the VZW S3) back to life.

I think my phone is okay. As adb works flawlessly and download mode will work perfect with Odin.

Yeah but from what the other person experienced there was no way to get off that version therefore there was no way to unlock or accept updates. What exactly is your version number?
