Worth mentioning (?) is that this phone is being used on the Straight Talk BYOP plan. I'm using the ATT compatible SIM from their starter pack.

This is one of the first things I tried, and also does not work. The Device Manager simply says that there are no updates. Thanks though.

I went today. They only have tools to support Samsung, because, well....that's self-explanatory.

That would mean that everyone using an unlocked phone on a pre-pay plan would not receive Android OS updates, which we know is untrue. This is very confusing.

Honestly....nobody has a clue?

I forgot to add that I confirmed root access with Root Validator App. Also, I don't have developer tools on my computer I was under the impression that a phone returned to the ATT store within 14 days could be considered a refurb, and following a physical inspection a Factory Reset, can be...

Well, here's my first post. I recently bought an HTC First (dubbed the Facebook phone) because I got a great deal on it (refurbished "Like New" by ATT) and it runs stock Android beneath the Facebook skin. Anyhow, I was poking around in the App Drawer and saw that SuperSU was installed. Now...
