Get Your Sidekick LX Video OTA NOW!
youngplatinummusic recorded a video with a trick that will help you get the OTA if you’re patient and willing to try something over and over. We recommend doing this late at night when the network isn’t being used as much. You’ll have a better chance of getting your OTA quick and easy if it works. Let us know your results in the comments.
Step 1. Restart your device
Step 2. Do not sign into any apps or send any data……press menu+ o for good luck lol
Step 3. Watch your G7 for 3 minutes if the white swoosh isnt pulsating fast through the 7 then u need to restart (you can even go to network settings press menu + m if ur bytes recieved start counting fast ur good)
Step 4. Restart your sidekick as many times until your g7 continues to pulsate with white streak FAST & NONSTOP…10 minutes later it should still be moving even when ur not logged into messenger or texting or emailing….once u realize its doing the trick…lay ur sidekick down and in about 30 minutes ur OTA will be here…

why does it feel as if im the only person without the update. Whats crazy about all this, was the first lx i got back in march. I recieved the first OTA update without any problems. So i’m going until like a few weeks ago and my phone messes up and I have to send it in for warranty. I get the new one, and its reverted back to the old old version. No email tabs. just folders. So i’ve went weeks without being able to check my email. So i called tmobile and got the sidekick department. they said I should recieve the first ota with the new one with the video.
This blows.
If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. I feel like im all alone in this.
Thanks

it worked for me!! thanks a lot.. for the people that still havent gotten it or are trying to get it this trick really works.. well for me at least.. it takes time though.. and you need to be patient it took me a while for it to work.. but once you notice the white swoosh constantly passing through your “7” for 3 minutes straight check your network status right away and the numbers jump like crazy then you just wait about 20 – 30 minutes for it to reach 12.4M and yeahh after that you should get the update.. and the swoosh does go away and comes back but it doesnt mean to turn off your phone.. just give it time but if the swoosh doesnt present constantly in the begging for about 3 minutes straight reset it.. good luck and thanks a lot!!

August 22nd, 2008 at 11:23 pm
so it had taken me a very long time. i was restarting for days. some people it will be quick and some it will take forever. i justtt got mine and it took days!!!! patience is key apparently.
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:28 pm
and it only took me about 11-13 minutes to get to 12m
August 23rd, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Decide to do this again around 3am and it really work it only went to 6m and restart it 3 times next thing u know i got my ota and got it twice i like the feature is pretty cool although the video thing is type small =/ but is still good
August 24th, 2008 at 11:08 am
this seems to be working.. how exciting! i have been waiting since June for the video OTA, and i just got a replacement phone that didn’t even have the Q4 OTA so hopefully this will force them both and my email view and apps and everything will start to function normally again. I HOPE! only $400 and 5 replacement phones later! anyway thanks for the tips dude you’re freakin awesome 🙂
