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…

this actually works. i am on the danger board and they were posting about this a few days ago. i restarted my phone 4 times around 3 a.m. ( not even thinkin about the server usage ) and my 7 started lighting up and my bytes went up like crazy. within id say 10 minutes i had the first update. then when they loaded i fell asleep. when i woke up the 2nd ota was right there waiting. so indeed this method does work. idk about the m+0 or w.e. i didnt do none of that, just a simple restart of the phone and get off your apps and i had it. so if you didnt get yours yet. try it

Yeah, I tried this yesterday afternoon. It took me about 10 tries, but it was well worth it. I haven’t received my Firmware OTA yet.
August 4th, 2008 at 12:32 pm [ Quote ]
yeah boy, my friend got it over a weeke ago and i was pissed haha. this worked for me after about 10 tries also. i think aim might have helped with my connection. well thanks again! peace

It worked!! But really its not a big deal, its just a minor upgrade and the video sucks! But this does work so try it!

I herd about this way back when hiptop.com was still up. Gave it a try about 2 weeks ago around midnight worked like a charm.
August 4th, 2008 at 1:28 pm [ Quote ]
I woke up at 4:20 and tried it and it worked on the 1st try
August 4th, 2008 at 1:36 pm [ Quote ]

i also talked to him on aim.
and it was great he helped out alot.
i tried all day yesterday and no work.
it just was waaay to low.
and this morning i had to update
a game and i turned it off and it
turned back on and when it turned back
on i went again to check how it was doing
and it was at megabytes so i was like ohh
S!&% it might work and then it was just going
up and up till i got it.!
i was super excited and happy.

August 4th, 2008 at 4:05 pm [ Quote ]
i actually used this method to force the OTA on my sidekick 2 a few years back, so i know for sure it definitely works, but hiptop3 kept saying how absolutely sure they were that there was no way that you could force the update on the lx, i didn’t even try it.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:05 pm [ Quote ]
YEAH IT WORKED. I WAS TRYING IT FORA LONG TIME, TRIED IT ON MY BF’S TWICE, IT WORKED…I WAS PISSSSSSSED!! HAHA FINALLY ABOUT AN HOUR LATER I GOT IT! YEA,!

August 4th, 2008 at 7:22 pm [ Quote ]
is it bad to keep restarting your phone?
August 4th, 2008 at 7:27 pm [ Quote ]
You mean restart it then go to setting>Network status> menu+m then look at bytes received until I reach 12.5 m instead of k ? Then leave it for about 30 minutes then OTA will pop up ? Am I right ? Correct me if I am wrong.
August 4th, 2008 at 7:27 pm [ Quote ]
wow.. after 20+ restarts. i wanted to give up but i kept going. while i was doing this i was reading through the comments seeing how much ppl got the ota. then i looked at my phone then it started receiving bits!? now its updating. THANKS

i started trying the trick at around 7PM on and off until around 11, it didn’t seem to work so i tried again at 1:09AM, my 7 started going insane and my update screen just popped up! it works very easily later at night, i got it to work on the first try.
your phone is downloading in kilobytes, not megabytes. kilobytes are smaller than megabytes. you need to restart it again.
August 4th, 2008 at 10:22 pm [ Quote ]
it works! wow after like 8/9times of shutting it on & off
it worked! 2O/3Omins later i got the update!!

I think in the update they shulda made the texting like the iphone…im tired of deleting my txts >..<!!!!! Or they shulda atleast added more space…
August 4th, 2008 at 10:30 pm [ Quote ]
yeah, it works! I was real skeptical, but decided… meh, doesn’t hurt to try. After like 30 resets, i finally gave up. I was falling asleep as my last try was restarting. I open my eyes to see the G7 going all crazy. I was wide awake at that moment. Like 15 minutes later, i hit 12.2MB and it asked to install the update. Obviously, this may not work right away, but if you’re patient enough, it will come!
August 4th, 2008 at 10:31 pm [ Quote ]
EVERYTIME I RESTART MY PHONE THE 7 STOPS FLASHING, BUT THEN WHEN I LOOK AT MY BYTES….ITS GOING DOWN….WTF!!!A ANY SUGGESTIONS?
August 4th, 2008 at 10:37 pm [ Quote ]
DO I NEED TO AIT AND SEE IF THE 7 WILL FLASHBEFORE RESTARTING AGAIN, OR WHEN IT STOPS JUST RESTART AGAIN?
August 4th, 2008 at 10:39 pm [ Quote ]
It does work! after 10 times, I gave up. Then I tried like 5 more times before sleeping and it worked! It sent me 2 updates thought, am I supposed to download both?

when we say all ur apps we mean ALL ur apps anything that requires data ( the G7 thingy) including aim msn yahoo the browser ( dont use it ) myspace if u have it anything that uses data.. just simply uncheck the save password box and delete your password from all ur apps and then start restarting ur phone.. it wont sign u in if you uncheck and delete your password

So, I think I am in the process of getting my update. Here’s what happened:
I spent all day, since I first logged on to HT3.com and saw the post about the new OTA trick, trying to get it. I restarted my device over 30 times, I kid you not.
Well, I went to sleep a few times and woke up and kept doing it. Well, I woke up, for good, about 10 minutes ago at 5:00AM — only to discover that I had no service. Yeah — phone bill was past due.
So, I went ahead and paid my expensive $170 phone bill (I let it build up), and then I restarted my device and ever since the “G7″ has been going crazy and I’ve received over 9MB of bytes as of 5:25AM, and it began around 5:18AM.
So, I believe I am getting my OTA. I’ll follow up soon.

i tried this for 4hrs n stop. i even try forcing the kb 2 go up by fetchin stuff of the catalog 4 example previews of themes and stuff.but thats not the trick.than i tried it on my girls new sdk lx around 11pm n got it in 3 tries. U just gotta RESTART it if you dont see you g7 swooshing right away and going up to like 400kb after 3 minutes just resart over n when you go to network settings n press menu +m its just 2 see n check how much kb u R recieving its not part of the trick. it usually goes up like crazy n turns into mb right away. so than you know your good. but the trick is just to restart and a little bit of luck! i got mine this morning around 7:30 after the 3rd restart. by the way idk if anyone has realized this but the newer sdk lx have a white scroll ball and the ones that were released last year have a black one. maybe thats why my girl got hers right away and it only needed to got to 5.9mb. mines went to 12.4mb. just thought i would mention it. thanks! just be patience and try it at random times. dont go crazy yourself it will come. watch a movie or something in the mean time. PEACE

Hhahahhahaa… After 99045745784957 friggin tries… It actually worked. Thing is that I didn’t know when to press MENU+O… So I pressed it tons and tons of times during the power up. After your phone powers up and you see the home menu with the icons, go to menu, settings, then network… Then press MENU+M another secret menu comes up to tell you the bytes you’re getting. If the bites keep counting (FAST) and the white dot is going through the 7 then it’s working… This should start happening rapidly, it takes about 3 or so minutes to see if your bytes are counting up… but if you notice (after 3 minutes or so) that the white dot isn’t going through the 7 anymore and it’s solid black, then you need to restart and try the same steps again. This will take a bunch of patience… So I suggest you take off your keyguard and have your backlight set to go off in 15 minutes cause it’s gonna take a while. When your phone reaches 12.5M then the update will come. After that restart do the same process again going to the network settings, it should do the same thing… Then another update will come after… GOOD LUCK! I’m so happy… Now lets see what the hype is about… TOOTLES!!!

@have patience,
I dont care. They will improvement it with ota in the near future. For now, I am happy!

It really doew work. The thing is that everything needs to be signed out of. If you get your AOL or YAHOO mail on your phone, delete these accounts. Remove all passwords on everything. Once this is done, turn off ur phone then turn it on, then you bytes should continue to increase and increase. After about 40 minutes, my update was here.

Yo,
actually, not true. I have many pics but all apps should be turn off such as aim msn yahoo and music.. they must not run and I got 2 tries, thats it. Best result to try is early morning such as 8 am which I did or late at night.

Worked for me. Didn’t count how many times I did it. Fell asleep around 1:30-2ish in the middle of doing it…woke up around 4:30 reset it again. Put my kick on the charger & when I woke up at 8:30-9 my ota was waiting on me.
