I bought the nexus one from a someone on craigslist and he installed the CyanogenMod 5.0.7.1 on it. It is running firmware 2.1 update 1. Now here's the problem. When I go to "Settings" then "About Phone" the first option is "Status." The "Check For Updates" option does not exist. Do you guys think this is something caused by the mod and do you think installing the stock rom, using the original shipping tutorial found on this forum, will resolve this issue. I called google and HTC and they have never heard of this problem and I also looked for anyone else having the same problem online but found nothing.
Thanks for your help.

Hey everyone, first post here.
I recently bought a NEW HTC Dream off eBay. After receiving it, i tested out with my sim card, and found out that it does indeed work with my network (3 Australia), and everything else functions as normal (google sync, sms, internet).
However, i know that the firmware is 1.1, and i want to upgrade it. After trying to "Check for updates" in the normal settings, an error occurs and force closes the settings, not allowing me to upgrade.
I checked the info, and this is what it is (see text file attached as i cannot post "links")
the phone IS "T Mobile" branded, yet it works with all of my settings in Australia, except for the upgrade.
I tried to download 1.5 various times, and tried to upgrade manually, but it will not work.
My question - what is going on, why can't i upgrade to the latest firmware ??
Thanks everyone in advance

please guys, need help !
so, i have a german milestone, running a 2.1 serviceable non-branded german rom. the device originally had a vodafone rom.
i checked for updates today and it found an update as available, around 34mb.
i downloaded it via wifi but the update process failed, probably to the vulnerable recovery installed.
so, i've gone back to stock, and i'm trying via cable, but the software update hangs forever in the "reading configuration data". any solution for that?
can anyone else in germany verify if the update appears as available for them too?
l.e: gave up on cable update, trying hsdpa since i have no wifi available nao ; it's caled "update package" and is 32.1mb in size.

any news? anyone?
32mb is quite small for an update like that... but who knows. i've just checked android-hilfe.de and motorola europe group on facebook- none of them telling anything about any update.
@saptemai- which version are you currently running anyways?
this is probably the 2.1-update1 update.
It has to be the 2.1 update-1 Version.
Maybe you haven't applies that Update to your Milestone.
I believe Motorola will announce it in Facebook, etc if Froyo will be available for download any day now.
yup, false alarm, no froyo - still shows 2.1.
however i was already running update1, which doesn't explain exactly what this update package was.
nevertheless, this thread can be closed nao. sorry if i got people's hopes up.
Just so you know, for the false hoping...
Dude we hate you...

Hey guys,
Finally found the Q&A for the milestone. Took long enough
Anywho, After installing CyanogenMod9 (Or 7. This problem's occurring on both)
I can't connect to my service provider anymore. Can't even seem to find them for that matter. Anybody else have this issue? Or can somebody help me with it?
Being able to use the update would be nice.
I am having this issue too.
My Milestone was broken (digitizer) and came back from maintenance services last week so I installed the Cyanogenmod 9 nightly build as soon as I got it. I had some problems installing CM so I just got it working a couple of days ago but it is losing the signal with the carrier in places where it used to work with the Original sbf and even with CM7.
I don't always have 0 signal bars but it can't be a problem with the carrier either.
I still haven't found a solution.
I'm using CM9 nightly build 20120627 (i think I will update to a newer version tonight)
Updating to correct baseband for your country might help. Settings - Advanced - Baseband.

I've already done it. It doesn't change anything.
I have enough signal only when I'm outdoors or standing reeeeeaally close to a window.
But thank you, I think I will install CM7 and see what I can get.
I have an SCH-i800 that I have CM9 (p1c 9.1.0) installed on. I have been using it for several weeks with no problem. Since I am planning on going on a trip, I decided to active pre-paid Verizon service for the tablet. At first, I attempted to activate the device. It went through the phone call but after a minute, it just sat at activating. That is when I noticed that the radio state in the status bar had an X on it. I rebooted the tablet to try again and got "com.android.phone has topped unexpectedly". I re-flashed CM9 (at the time I was using 9.0.0) and it worked again. Activation was not necessary. After a day, the error came up again and radio state went to off with an X. I tried 9.1.0, same problem after a day. I even tried a nightly CM10, same problem. Reboots, cache wipes, permission fixes do not make it work. The error persists until a re-flash of CM. I see on the Support Downloads for the Verizon Tablet, there are two modem files. My baseband version is currently S:I800.0.3V.EI04. I have attempted to "flash" these both via Odin (which failed after a couple minutes) and ZIP (which looked like it worked) to the EC02 on the site, but my baseband doesn't seem to change.
So my first question is, is there a how-to on flashing as I have searched high and low on one for the Verizon Tab specifically, and have yet to find one. Is there a ZIP file that is specifically meant for the i800? I am almost certain this is my problem and that a downgrade (this tablet when stock was updated to the latest Verizon image).
My second question is, has anyone else experienced this? Is there someone that is using a CM9 Verizon tab with EI04 baseband and not have this problem?
Is there a way I can track down what crashed the program? I have tried logcat, but it doesn't appear to give me much detail other than to tell me that it stopped.
And if you ask, no I did not use the Verizon service with this tablet before putting CM9 on it, so I wouldn't know if it worked before.
Any input that someone could provide would be useful. Thanks!
Two questions in one thread and the first has been bugging me for sometime and i'm fed up of working around it;
First issue: When i switch on my Optimus 2X P990 i am greeted with the popup message saying 'incompatible handset' with two option of okay or cancel. If i click either of these or leave the message time out, I loose all signal and it will not come back unless i reboot the device. The way i am getting past this is upon the message popping up i press the back capacitive button.
This happens on every rom i have tried (MIUI, CM, Eagles Blood and stock roms)
Does anyone have any idea on how to stop this from happening? I have searched everywhere for answers and the closest i have come across is to update the sim tool set via lg suite. Unfortunately i cannot do this as every version of lg pc suite i have tried does not work properly on windows 7 (no support for 64 bit, WTF!!!). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Second request: Also does anyone know where i might obtain the latest UK unlocked baseband and stock ICS rom from as i cannot update the device via OTA at all.
Forgot to mention that the message box appears even when a sim card is not present in the device.

Odp: [Q] Incompatible Handset Message AND UK ICS Download
look in dev section, there's bunch of stock ad stock - based roms. don't waste someone's time because you are too lazy to search.
problem with pop up is curious. Can you test it on pure cm10 with "factory state" (all things wiped and rim installed)

I'm not looking for just the rom but also advise on which baseband people believe to be the better so don't get on your f***ing high horse!
The issue with the popup message also happens with this rom and literally all i have tried prior and all stock ones i have tried. The closest i have come to seeing a resolve is to update the sim tools but this (as far as i can see from searching as this seems to be quite a small issue in terms of others experiencing it), needs to be done via LG suite which is not possible on my W7 64bit machine (advise i got directly from LG when complaining about it LG suite not installing).
