[General Questions and Answers] Apo1ogetic:
I have around $150 bucks I am willing to throw at a new phone.

I would like it to be able to use wifi, have a decent camera, and a physical qwerty keyboard.

Now I was reading some older threads that talked about buying an unlocked smart phone and then throwing your AT&T SIM into it and you would be good to go.

Is this still an option? Do you guys have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide, it is greatly appreciated!

I had my eye on the HTC S521.
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Any phone without AT&T branding will do. The way it works is they have a database of IMEI numebers of all the phones they sell. If the phone is not branded by them, it's not in their database, and therefore they wouldn't know what phone you're using. Try it out; When you get your new phone, pop in the SIM and log into your online account. Normally, it will show what phone you're using but now it should show a question mark or generic phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Apo1ogetic:
Thanks a lot for explaining that! So any unlocked phone would work? I suppose I can't use a Sprint Branded Phone or something right? I guess my only other question left is do you have a recommendation for a solid phone for my price range? I don't need anything too fancy.

If you know of a website with reliable reviews of phones that would be appreciated as well.
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
The only Sprint phones that I know of that would work on AT&T (or T-Mobile) are the Blackberry Tour (but has no wifi), Blackberry Bold 9650 (the SIM slot comes unlocked by default), and the Touch Pro 2. The Blackberries would run on EDGE though, not 3G, but the Bold has wifi built in. [Sprint is CDMA, not GSM]

But that aside, do you care if it's a smartphone or not?

Usually CNET.com and Phonedog.com (Phonedog also has a YouTube channel) do good reviews.
[General Questions and Answers] Apo1ogetic:
Basically I want the best bang for my buck while avoiding a mandatory data usage fee. I'm at college most the time and they have public WiFi spots that I can use.

The Touch Pro 2 really interested me but it was a bit pricey, although the Sprint Version is much cheaper. But I thought Sprint is only CDMA so how would that work with AT&T?
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Hmm...What about something like this? http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-Unlocke..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1301901933&sr=1-1

$150 for an unlocked smartphone is rare but Nokia's usually fall within that price range and are really good. Just search "Nokia" on Amazon. Also, you can hit up Craigslist. I know that you can unlock Samsung Vibrants from T-Mobile because the code is actually store inside the phone. Most technologically-illiterate people sell them for cheap because they don't know what they're worth.

EDIT: Also, if you want a slight upgrade to that Nokia, check this out. It's a little over your price range but not by much: http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-Unlocked-QWERTY-Camera-Navigation/dp/B003X26SLC/ref=pd_cp_cps_1_img
[General Questions and Answers] Apo1ogetic:
Ok so I am using this site as a reference "gsmarena.com" and they give the HTC Touch Pro2 a 8.4 Average while the the Nokia E5 only gets a 7.5, is there something I'm missing? Because the Nokia phone seems to have much better specs.

Also what about installing a custom/modded OS on these. Would I have an easier time with the Nokia or Touch Pro? (I like the bigger keyboard of the Touch Pro2)

I'm also considering trying to snag a HTC HD2 off of Ebay for around 150 bucks if I can.
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
As a rule, I prefer GSMArena for reviews and picture galleries, and ignore most else. Their Touch Pro 2 review will tell you a lot.

As far as custom OS' go, you'll want to steer very clear of Nokia if that's your intention. Their devices are built for Symbian (N900 excepted) and that's about it. The Touch Pro 2 has numerous builds of Android available, and came stock with Windows Mobile (not the new one).

Make four more posts and have a scour through the Marketplace here also, you'll find a good deal or two.

Good Luck!
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
If you can get an HD2 off eBay, get it. It can run Android, Windows Phone 7, Windows Mobile 6.x, Ubuntu, Maemo, and a lot more. It's also equivalent, spec-wise to an Evo. Get it over the Touch Pro 2!.
[General Questions and Answers] Apo1ogetic:
Thanks for your help, I think the HTC HD2 at 150 is a pipe dream, but I'll keep looking haha.
[General Questions and Answers] Apo1ogetic:
I'm guessing the Marketplace is hidden to me until I make 8 posts then?
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Not sure but you can definitely snag an HD2 off of eBay or Craigslist for cheap. People don't know what these things are worth.
[General Questions and Answers] Apo1ogetic:
Ya they seem to be worth upwards of $400 bucks and I'm pretty sure I can get one for under $250, just not sure I want to spend that much... :confused:

[General Questions and Answers] Apo1ogetic:
Blah that HD2 went for over 200 when you count shipping. I know that is still probably a good deal but more than I want to spend.

I'm also thinking of just getting the Tilt 2 now and going with the $15 data plan so I can take advantage of the 3G.
[General Questions and Answers] TexanFW:
I just dumped ATT a couple of months ago and moved us over to Verizon with Droid X phones. Prior when I was on I was given 7 ATT BB 8300 phones by a friend when their company upgraded. for about a year all was fine. We were not using data on them so the small data plan from our old phones was fine. then about 6 months back every month I would get a txt from ATT saying that they had changed my data plan to an appropriate one for the phones. That was $25 a phone per month. Every month i would call and complain and they would tell me that they were removing it. then a few days later they would add it back again.

So be careful because ATT will add data plans on You.
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Only if you use AT&T branded phones. If you don't, they won't know what phone you're using because it's not in their database.
[General Questions and Answers] Apo1ogetic:
I'm having a hard time finding a decently priced phone that isn't AT&T but that will still work on AT&T's 3G. From my understanding neither the HD2 nor the Touch Pro 2 will do this.

Which is what has swayed me to just forking over the 15 a month and getting the Tilt 2 (Which if I'm not mistaken is the AT&T version of the Touch Pro 2)

I've already checked AT&T's site and this phone only requires 15 a month for a data plan.
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Yeah, I googled it and that's what AT&T decided to call it; The Tilt 2.

[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yeah just forgot to change the file name before uploading. I changed it in the build prop but not there. You might want to hold off. I might pull this as I wasn't thinking about the bootloaders. I might have to research those some more as to what is in there.

[Vibrant Android Development] Demiurgic:
Fixes and such:

-keys switched around is an easy fix just change a couple things in system/usr

buddahlou posted the fix that was used for double rainbow

- Yeah messing with bootloaders is just bad juju you will probably brick your phone if you flash the I9000 SBL. Maybe not at first but when you get sick of seeing the I9000 boot screen and flash back - bad things can happen.

- the audio doesn't switch properly so you will have to use toggleheadset

- GPS :D

we need some drivers or something so probably won't work until we get a proper release for the vibrant.

Just to echo that statement and ask that you all visit all the links at the bottom of the OP and thank all involved. Without community we would still be listening to the TMobile jingle everytime we turned our phones on or off. Hit the thank you, leave a message or by one of them or me a beer.

Coming from trigger v2.9.2 rom. Do I need to odin back or flash normally through cw mod?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Please fully read the OP. While some have reported flashing over something else without issue the best option is Odin to JFD.
[Vibrant Android Development] montez.061-:
What are you guys using to flash the update ?? I tried the cwm app and sgs kernel flasher and both say there is no z image...what should I use ??
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The update or a different kernel? For the update use chainfire's cwm app and flash as an update. For a kernel you may need to extract the .tar file from the .zip file and use either app you mentioned or Odin.
[Vibrant Android Development] montez.061-:
was 4 the update...but I just tried again and it's not working...tried cwm and sgs flasher
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:

I tried it too... Laggy for me aswell. I'm gonna Odin back down.

Camera was rainbow noisey even after rebooting a couple times. I'll try this again when more stable
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
Odined and reflashed again. Still very laggy. This time gb launcher is completely missing. I look forward to stable updates on this rom. For now back to ginger clone.
[Vibrant Android Development] montez.061-:
To be on the safe side just flash the jvk that are in the op...2.9 had made my phone very stable....use odin as I had problems with sgs kernel flasher
[Vibrant Android Development] peecs121:
2.9 is a kernel, I'm talking about a modem.
[Vibrant Android Development] montez.061-:
Strange...rom has been very stable for myself and many others in this thread. Maybe you should flash a jvk and see if that got you right...my phone is in the 1700s...but simone says look for an update soon...hope you come back and give it another try
[Vibrant Android Development] ppcmaster1:
Btw, if i am not mistaken i am on the 3.0 kernel, maybe check it out, this rom is really smooth except the gps, i didn't encounter any setback.....it is really important to odin to jfd before you flash this rom though..
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
It is the right one. Trying odining a 2.2 voodoo kernel, then flash 3.3, cf root 3.1, and finally 3.5.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dattack:
So you update to 3.5 revolution through CWM after flashing the 3.1 kernel? If so, it does take awhile since mine has to enable lag fix automatically through Linda voice. I don't think he should take more than 15 minutes though.

It does reboot sometimes with the vibrant logo then it works after that. Just wait a few more minutes.
[Vibrant Android Development] pmnuon:
CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS, i flashed this kernel....not the right one huh? im a newb sry
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
3.2 is for jvh right? Will it work on 3.3 update 1.
[Vibrant Android Development] pmnuon:
yes, right after i select the 3.5 update to flash, i click flash, then vibrant screen. i let it sit for about ten minutes already. what i dont understand is that the power button, when pressed, should not reboot the phone. its not a long press either, just a tap, and bam, restart
[Vibrant Android Development] pmnuon:
thx dude, ill try that method instead

I'm a little confused where you're at in this whole process. Can you PM me if your still having issue and I can walk you through.

It's all really quite simple after you get to understand whats going on and why. I say that but I know that I've been playing with this for well going on 2 months now. Once you get it up and running and set up how you want you will be happy with the only real exception being GPS as there are work arounds for everything else.

It will. I don't think the home button keep works though but it will give you CWM.

[Vibrant Android Development] mulcahyd:
That was the right one. How I got it to work. I flashed that one.zip and it errored out. Something not able to find zimage. So, that in mind, I unzipped and untarred and zimage file. I placed that file into sgs flash folder. I redid it and selected the zimage. It ran successfully. I than rebooted phone. I than used cwk mod app ( still on v3.3) flash update and select the 3.5 rom zip. Let it go. The phone will reboot, you should see vibrant screen, followed by rainbow colors, rainbow colors again. It takes couple minutes. Don't worry not seeing recovery. Its normal.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
The kernels for jvh (3.5) and jvb (3.3) are not interchangeable. A new kernel had to be created for 3.5.

Flashing cf-root 3.1 (jvb) is only necessary to ensure that you have the right kernel installed to correspond with the install script. After 3.5 is installed you totally forget about cf-root 3.1.

The reason for flashing cf-root 3.2 is that it has CWM 3 which most Gingerbread packages such as themes and add ons now use. Unfortunately the 2 kernels available to us on Vibrant, the ones that fix headset, both are CWM 2.5 and if you just try to flash something you will get stuck at either vibrant or rainbow screen.
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
When flashing the theme should I remove the androidpolicy or is it ok to flash as is?
[Vibrant Android Development] mulcahyd:
I need to download 3.2 cf root jvh version. Right.
[Vibrant Android Development] keetrock:
I found a theme I want to try, PoisonGreen V 1.5. How do I flash this, thru CWM? And if I find I dont like it, how can I flash back to the default theme. Sorry for such noobish questions, I am slowly learning lol. Thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Game changer everyone.

Rom Manager works to flash the rom directly from 3.3 as well as for use with add ons and themes.

Click install Clockwork Mod Recovery and select I9000. It should download 2.5.1.2. If it doesn't then scroll to the bottom and select flash older recovery and select 2.5.1.2

No need to change kernels anymore. It's reported working 100% for all needs.
[Vibrant Android Development] sumpter32:
is this true??

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:

[Vibrant Android Development] tennandcoz1:
To be honest I dont know how to posts a link.But I got the theme in the I9000 themes and app section.It is called sensation by crysis.use the jvh version.what I did was flashed the cf-root 3.2 kernel with sgs kernel flasher.then used cwm app to flash the then using updates zip to flash.after flashed back to the roms kernel.if you did not make a back up of the kernel, then just reflash 3.5 revolution.done and enjoy brother.have had no bugs or laggs todate.I my opinion its because of the great job E.B. and the team did on this.

The install script is setup to detect 3.5 and higher and do a no wipe install. So just flash a theme in rom manager making sure wipe isn't check if you don't like then flash 3.5 in rom manager again making sure wipe is not checked.
