And who is your carrier? You'd be surprised to find that somebody who knows a lot more than me is on this site with the same carrier. |

Re: Unknown Carrier Upgrade?
Thank you! I thought I had read that in the many posts I have sorted through since June when I got the 6800! My carrier is Golden State Cellular in the Sierras between Tahoe & Yosemite. I'm a little "gun shy" considering I flashed the 6800 a few weeks after getting it and ended up with a Sprint phone. Fortunately the carrier was very good to me...

Re: Unknown Carrier Upgrade?
Ok. I did a little research for you and Verizon is a small partner for GSC. They are one of Verizon's roaming partners around Yosemite. I would imagine that you would wnat to update to a Verizon ROM first. That may help. If nothing else, try your tech support again and maybe let them know that you know they partner with Verizon. Maybe they can get you to some Verizon tech support. This is gonna be a tough one, because their website has no info on updates for your phone, nor does HTC's. You could always try calling HTC as well, but I've never done that, so I don't know if that would help you. The point is, it looks like you have a CDMA version of the phone, and that's a start.

Re: Unknown Carrier Upgrade?
The 6800 is the CDMA version. GSC has "agreements" with both Verizon and Sprint which allow roaming, etc. When I first got the phone I tried to register with the HTC site and was told that I could not register and they (HTC) would not support the phone, nor allow me to download updates etc. HTC indicated that my only option for support was through my carrier which is not really possible. HTC said they don't recognize my serial number that they applied when they built the phone. Don't get me wrong, after 14 years with verizon I'm very happy with GSC and their fully functional/uncrippled phones. There is a slight chance that the 6800 came from Alltel but I have not been able to confirm that. I was hoping that there was/is a way to determine which carrier ROM the phone currently has in order to upgrade the ROM without results similar to my previous attempt. Thank you again for your responses and help!
