I got my DNA 3 days ago
everything are fine until i found out that I can't check updates for my phone
(it shows only with CDMA network) and I don't live in US so I'm using GSM network
was trying to unlock and flash custom ROM but the thing is my phone already got OTA update to version 2.04.605
as I know this version can't be unlock so don't even mention about flash CMV and what not.
Is there any chance that I could just downgrade back to version 1.15.605?
I also am trying to figure out how downgrade so that I can root. Im not exactly sure how to root but from what I read I need to be on 1.x.x.x instead of the 2.x.x.x . Please help I searched and this what I found

I have a unlocked xperia x10a on 1.6, Ive read a few things that clash with each other about updating. I read about the flash tool that says you have to be at 2.1 to run the tool.
I want to update the android with either a custom build or even the official build it doesn't matter but im on tmobile and I dont want to loose the unlock and I've already read some material that says once its unlocked you cant update.
Is there a way to update to anything other then 1.6 without loosing the unlock or at least being able to re-unlock.
Im sorry if this has already been posted but I need a specific answer before I mess this up Ive been through like 4 phones in the last month lol.
I actually did the same thing. I bought a x10a from eBay, unlocked the phone, updated to 2.1, and put it on T-Mobile. I didn't lose the unlock when I updated.
As far as updating to 2.1 or other software, I used this guide here from agentJBM. I haven't had any problems. Hope this helps.

If I took the latest rom update would it relock my sim? I am using t-mobile and found Streak_407_20707_14.pkg 2.3.3 official update from dell.
Just don't wanna update the rom to find out I got to get the sim unlocked again, so thought I'd ask.
No. Once unlocked, no ROM upgrades (or even downgrades) will lock the Streak.
Cool thanks.
currently running android 4.1.1 I605vraljb
which is ok but is ther any reason to upgrade
mine is currently stock
your thoughts please
The new radio might be very slightly better, but mostly it was a security patch. I didn't notice any real difference on VRALL4. Now that there is an unlock method for both radios it isn't a problem to take the upgrade if you plan to root and ROM at some point (it was for about a week after it came out as it relocked the bootloader).

the unlock method is for the bootloader not radio...you might already know this and just typed it wrong. just wanted to clear that up for anybody that may read your post.
Right...sorry if there was confusion. A new unlock method was released when the update came out and relocked the bootloader. I unlocked on the original version and flashed the VRALL4 radio when I went to Beans 8.
Is ti possible to update droid DNA to 4.2.2. if you are outside USA?
I am in Europe for a service and I can't use verizon network so i can't update to sense 5, and I can't find ruu to update it via pc
Is there something I can do to update it? I really want sense 5, but i can't get it because i can't unlock bootlader and i can't update it via OTA...

I am on the same boat as you, I downloaded both zips but having difficulties flashing the update.

It is easy to unlock the bootloader if you're on 1.15. If you're on 2.04 or 2.06/2.07 use moonshine. I used to have one and I updated just fine. You have to search around
Why not start here:

You have to root first, then change the CID to '2222222222', then after that use HTC-Dev to unlock bootloader, and last install CWM and flash away.
I unlocked the bootloader and successfully installed sene 5 rom, but i had to install windows 7 (from windows 8.1) because my pc didnt recognize the phone in fastboot mode.
Thanks guys!
..I was already told by a friend in xda group that if I again flash a stock rom in my sm-900p phone which I got unlocked for international GSM use (using from India) , it won't get locked again ...with all due respect to the friend who affirmed me already that it won't get locked ,can anyone else confirm that to me please ? I am not able to dare to flash the stock rom....since two days I am just waiting to take that step..presently I am using darkwolf rom but I want to flash with stock rom so that bootloader and modem gets updated and then on that version,I will flash this rom again ..that's my plan
It will not relock for international use. If it does for some reason, you can use Galaxy Tools to unlock again, assuming you root. But if it was originally unlocked either officially with Sprint or via root + Galaxy Tools, then it won't relock. If you were in the US, you would have to change some other settings to re-enable domestic unlock but international sticks.
