[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozo089:
wow, ok so it says writing and sending went "OKAY". I assume that means it worked.

I really don't know what to do now. How do i access the clockwork menu and how do i install a ROM?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
yeah that meant it worked. you can access clockwork menu by going down to RECOVERY in the menu or "adb reboot recovery"

you install a ROM by...

1. Shop around the Dev forums and look for what ROM you want to use. I personally use CM7.

2. Use netarchy's kernel (its worth it).

Steps:

1. Put ROM onto your sdcard

2. Boot into Clockwork Recovery (told you above on how to do it)

3. Wipe Factory, Dalvik, Cache

4. Flash ROM (Proceed to flash CM7 Gapps afterwards if you decide to go with CM7)

5. Flash Kernel (Optional)

6. Reboot!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozo089:
Ahhh, i updated without looking at your post first. Can i put the kernal on now that ive rebooted?

thank you for your help and time
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
Well I went to a device service center to exchange my phone for random shutdowns. My phone was running stock and unrooted. When I gave it to the rep to spent about 10 minutes looking at the phone information under the settings menu. He finally look at me and told me that I voided the warranty of the phone. I was like wtf? Then he claimed that KB1 wasn't official and that his computer only showed that jh7 was the only official release... Then he went back to my home screen and claimed that my adw launcher also showed a custom rom...

I kept trying to tell him that kb1 was official and I even turned off the launcher. He was getting pissed and trying to make it seem like he was going out of his way to let me slide. Finally got him to get another phone out of the back and load it and and check the about phone settings... and those phones come loaded with froyo already. He still tried to play it off like he was doing me a favor though. I was like oh crap hes gonna put a mark against my account or something.

What was also funny was that his personal phone was a droid x and he was bragging about how he has a leaked gingerbread rom on it...

So does anyone else have any good atnt stories?
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
i would talk to his manager. AND call AT&T customer support. get pay-back in dollars and accessories.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Yeah, you really should have told him that you'll be back, then driven your car through the front of the store.
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
He finally honored my replacement in the end. But like I said he tried acting like he was doing me a favor. I wondering if he put a note or something on my account claiming that my warrenty is voided. Is there anyway to check?
[Captivate General] Nerz:
I remem when I got mine replaced. It was because it wouldn't go into recovery at all with button combo. I think this was before the fix, and even before the leaked froyo. I needed recovery to root and install oclf. The guy replaced without any questions asked. But of course he knew exactly what I was trying to do and had even rooted his too
[Captivate General] diablo009:
As per AT&T's terms of contract, he IS in fact doing a favor to u. Once u load any custom, u have ur warranty voided. U should always revert to stock before u take the handset to AT&T store, in case u have custom rom on it.

I don't think he would've put anything like that on ur account. Cos had he put a note like that, he wouldn't have exchanged ur phone.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
maybe you didnt see the fact that he was running STOCK AND UNROOTED as stated in the OP....custom launchers DO NOT void warranty
[Captivate General] Dani897:
but op didnt have a custom rom on the phone. the rep oddly had a verizon phone with a custom rom and thought he knew something. turned out rep was wrong and being an a-hole.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Yeah, what PirateGhost said, he wasn't doing him a favor, just being a **** for the sake of being a ****. Probably gets his rocks off bullying customers because he thinks he's a big tech guru by running a gingerbread leak and raging that he has a desk clerk job instead of some engineering position he thinks he deserves.
[Captivate General] ph00ny:
This

there is really no way to getting around bad customer service issues. Sadly only thing we can really do is inform their managers and even that doesn't work out as planned since their more focused on protecting their employees than listening to their customers
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
Lololol sounds like something I would say
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
Yah the only time the phone was ever rooted was to flash plumbobs gps fix. That was awhile back. The phone was odin'd back to stock and sent to samsung for repair gps/wifi issues. When I got the phone back from them they loaded 2.2 on it. Since I received it back from samsung I didn't do a thing to it and kept it stock... The phone then developed shutdown issues so I took it to my device center and thats when this started.

It's just that the atnt service center rep didn't know/believe that kb1 was a official version of android for the captivate and he was giving me a hard time about it and my adw launcher. Telling me that my warranty was voided and how the only thing he could do was give me a new battery blah blah blah. He also said that the adw launcher was classified as some form of superuser... lol (He took my phone and showed it to me and he flicked thru my home screens and app menu and kept saying yep this is a custom rom)

It's just funny cause after we gotten the facts straightened out (made him pull a captivate off the shelf and boot it up and look at the phone information) he goes on to show off his droid x with some leaked gingerbread rom....
[Captivate General] Dani897:
what a douche. did you call him a douche because i would have called him a douche.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
if you complain in the right way you get alot. i do it all the time. i had my telus bill cut in half over bad customer service. i hate telus though. it was always bad customer service. thats why i dont mind paying more than my half bill.

the guy was flat out lying to you or mis-informed either way ATT customer support does not give a crap about protecting a bad store rep. his manager maybe. but corporate NO WAY. then he goes on to show you his voided device? if i was his manager, i would fire him.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
why is the att rep on a verizon plan? doesnt att give employee plans? i find it hard to believe that there is a benifit for him to buy a verizon phone. i havent seen a single area that i cant get service and verizon does. i know such an area must exist but there are also plenty of areas that the reverse is true.
[Captivate General] ryude:
It's always the one that "has a leaked rom" on their phone that tries to screw you over in the stores. I've had it happen to me before, don't worry just talk to another store/rep if that ever happens.
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
Im 100% sure he has version. I doubt his DroidX was unlocked or anything because I was talking to him about how version has no service in my area and he went on to explain the difference in the networks. I should've took a picture of him trying to show it off to me as I was playing around with my new phone.
[Captivate General] KonaZXIII:
Two year contract + new(ish) job at ATT = might as well wait it out?

I've had AAA Plus for 20+ years and never once did I pay for it. I've been on my parent's AAA plan since I was a kid. They've always just kept me on it, and they won't take my money when they make me come pick up my new card every year. After a while I quit offering to reimburse them.

Just sayin'
[Captivate General] phlunkie:
By chance are you in florida and was this at the att in altamonte springs? Had a similar but not as bad experience. Mine was for rebooting and he gave me a hard time.
[Captivate General] KonaZXIII:
I hate the Altamonte store! They're idiots in there. I went in there once with a question about my e71x and a rep basically just tried to shoo me away to drive down the street to the warranty/repair center by Publix...I had to insist that he help me- it's a good thing I did because, as it turned out, warranty would have just made me to drive back.
[Atrix 4G General] fallchild:
So my Atrix is pretty much useless in its current state without using my headset with voice commands. I partitioned the internal sd with tenfars recovery and now the touch screen is way off and the buttons on the bottom of the phone dont work at all. I flashed back to stock, i formatted, restored, factory reset, booted into the android recovery and formatted and still no fix. Can someone clue me in on why this is happening and why nothing fixes it even after formatting/going to stock? I know a few other people are in the same boat as me and im just hoping someone can shed some light. :\
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
I think we still have a change once Tenfar gets ADB working through the recovery menu. He got lucky when he formatted again with the original recovery and got his working. No one else has been able to fix this problem yet. There are a few of us out there.

If this fails I'll have to replace mine through Motorola and they've making it extremely difficult because I'm in Canada. Had to get a Bell Atrix for the meanwhile. Hope we get this working soon!
[Atrix 4G General] Gutterball:
I dont think its the formatting thats the problem cause I've personally done that but I do think its the partitioning thats messing up everyones phone! Thats just my opinion but seems to be the cause otherwise my phone would be wrecked too I would think!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumpyz9:
ok so my friend asked me to root his Dinc for him and and said yah. i was looking around and found unrevoked(3.2) and used that everything went fine until the end and said firmware to new?. so i go to go into recovery to check cuz it booted into cwm once and it said s-off . i reboot no superuser so i go to install one but it said already a system file. dnt no what happened anyone have a simmillar expirience or no wat maybe going on.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asianbobo15:
When using unrevoked, every time it turns on, do not touch a thing on the phone. It happened to me when I was rooting and I opened a menu between boots and failed due to same error. I tried again without touching anything and it worked.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumpyz9:
i dont no if that was it but after trying like 2 more times finally got it to work. everythings good with it now but do u no any overclocks for it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lightning N1:
I know that I am not the only one looking at this phone as a way to get a great Dual Core, 4G, vanilla Android phone (unmolested by AT&T) but able to be used on the AT&T network. I have had great luck and a lot of fun with the AT&T Nexus One and I think this phone will be just a successful with the help of XDA DEV's:D

I wanted to start a thread here in the G2X section for people to share with other users how to's and what works with regards to using this phone on the AT&T network.

It may be to soon to get all the answers, but maybe someone is working the same answers.

Questions:

How easy will it be to obtain the SIM Unlock code from T-Mobile or LG?

I am going to buy the phone at retail, just may have to use T-Mobile for 60-90 days to get the Unlock code.

Will AT&T allow us to upgrade to 4G data plan without buying their 4G phone?

I know from researching the Atrix 4G that the AT&T data plan needed to be upgraded to a 4G plan but you could keep unlimited data.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pablo1215:
If I remember Tmobile's unlock policy correctly you wont have to wait. You can request the unlock code right away if you pay full retail price. Unless that's changed recently of course but I dont think it has. Good luck with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nomisunrider:
Kind of a repeat of what is in this thread started by me (which you tried to hijack)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036129

Re-posting what I have found here:

I just got off of the phone with t-mobile customer care (1-877-453-1304). I called them because I wanted clarification on this before I purchased 2 full retail price phones.

The program is called the "Sim Subsidy Unlock Program." It is for anyone that purchases a phone for the full retail price from a corporate store or an authorized retailer and pays all of the price upfront.

You need to call customer care, explain that you purchased a phone for full price and request a "remedy request form number." They will then open this request and you then have 7 days to fax the following to the Sim Unlock Team at 1-813-353-6557 :

ATTENTION: SIM UNLOCK TEAM

Full Name

Mobile Number

Email Address

Readable Copy Of Sales Receipt

It takes 24 to 72 hours to process and they will email you instructions to unlock your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] davehasninjas:
As for at&t's 4g, there currently using hspa+ also, so if it supports their 3g, you'll have at&t "4g" as well
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lightning N1:
Sorry, I don't know why they did not move that thread over to this forum. It was clearly labeled as a g2x thread.

That is great info from T-Mobile about the "Sim Subsidy Unlock Program."
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
does it have to be "faxed"? you can't email the info? thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] compuguy1088:
Wondering the same things. Currently have the vibrant...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Chalup:
Just expect to have below 3G upload speeds with AT&T.

Edit: nevermind... software vs hardware limitations. Nonetheless, screw AT&T
[T-Mobile LG G2x] clubtech:
That is this NORMAL procedure ...unless the phone is "exclusive" to T-Mobile. In such a case they will NOT unlock it even if you paid full retail price. This is what happened to me with their dell streak 7, I had to return it as they would not unlock it no matter what and I paid full retail for it so please triple check before you buy as I think the the G2X is exclusive to T-Mobile in the US.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] compuguy1088:
If this is true, are there any stores that are offering unlocks for this phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
why does it work on at&t bands.... ANY PHONE and i repeat ANY phone can be unlocked.... the phone is made for two networkds (im guessing because of the possible merger) so no its not stuck to just tmobile... now i understand your stating that tmobile might not give the codes because it is an "exclusive tmobile phone" however!!!!! give this forum a few weeks and you will have it unlocked!

im sure there is away just like any other phone! (if im wrong and this is the only phone in the world that cant be unlocked you can kick me in the ****)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spyz88:
I cant find anyplace that have unlock codes for the G2X. This is an issue...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sk337sk337:
It can be unlocked. Mine will be as soon as I get it. Just have to wait for employees to be able to order it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spyz88:
Just curious but how will workers being able to order it, affect a way to get it unlocked?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nomisunrider:
It's not even officially out yet. Of course you cannot find unlock codes for it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] clubtech:
I'm sure it CAN be unlocked if you can get the unlock code. If the device is exclusive to T-Mobile, they wont give the unlock codes out so u are left only with back door options like T-Mobile employees .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spyz88:
It officially has been on sale since the 15th, so yes, it is out yet. Also, I have seen unlock codes for phones that are about to be released. Especially if there is a European counterpart.

P.S. I'm getting especially sick of these carriers with phones being locked to carriers, locked down, locked/encrypted bootloaders. SMH.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
not to pick a fight but NO its not officially out yet... it went on pre-order the 15th... that is not an official release if its just on pre-order

call customer service they will tell you the same

now as the same methods that worked with the O2x may not work with the G2x...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
SIM unlock codes are provided by the phone manufacturer. When you make a request for an unlock code, the wireless company forwards the request to the manufacturer. The manufacturer e-mail's you the unlock code. If you're using an unlock service off the web they're doing the same thing. Devs have nothing to do with unlocking a SIM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
MANY of my phones have been unlocked by the help of people finding a way!

thanks for your input but my vibrant was unlocked without dealing with tmobile/manufacturers
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I think you're confusing rooting the phone with unlocking the SIM. The G2X is already rooted but there's partition differences with the O2X that the devs need to be resolve.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
lol no im talking about unlocking the phone to use on different carriers

i have

unlocked

my:

samsung vibrant via xda help (no carrier/manufacturer help)

HTC HD2 same way

and last but not least my old black berry i had (from att not tmobile)

you can find ways to get the unlock code within the phone it's self...it takes a long time but works! as ive had att sim cards in almost all of my phones
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stefan.buddle:
Yeah some phones have the unlock codes on the phone itself lore the galaxy s series, which with a little root you can unlock yourself, other phones don't have this option available to them, hence the need to have it done by the manufacturer
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
learn something new every day thanks!

i assumed all phones had it hidden some where inside of their guts
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gasolara2002:
according to the spec sheets on t-mobile it supports all at&t bands. It appears that some you really can get an screwed over android phone totally working on AT&T. http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones...9f8d8baa3b&shape=smp#T-Mobile-G2x-with-Google
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spyz88:
If I were to order it right now, with overnight shipping I would get it the 19th...which is before the 20th...so it is not a pre-order. Pre-order means it wouldn't ship UNTIL the 20th or be received on the 20th. Not arguing just saying...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
does t-mobile even offer overnight?

i asked for this devise and they said no....

i really could care less when it comes cuz i got the phone free of charge but still if there is a overnight option ill be pissed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
mine left ohio for buffalo ny at 3 am. sat. night. ups is showing that as the last update. it's only a few hours drive between the 2. ugh. i saw no overnight option when i ordered at midnight on thursday. just got home from work hoping to find a package.....no go.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
my left louisville, KY

should be here mid day tomorrow!

and im guessing yours will be too!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AuroEdge:
The people at T-Mobile customer support as well as the stores have been telling me they will NOT give you unlock codes. One lowly sales rep said best option is to wait until a homebrew software option is available or to go to the Manufacturer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krabman:
WAIT! Where's the fun in that? Lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
There is an option, but this is NOT guaranteed:

Sign up prepaid and get this phone (yes, you can mix and match your phone) and keep it "active" for 3 months and see what happens.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
The problem a lot of us have learned with T-Mobile is that your shipping method has nothing to do with when you'll receive the phone. It'll ship overnight like they say but there's up to three days of internal processing at T-Mobile before it gets to UPS. People who ordered at midnight on Thursday and paid for Saturday delivery didn't have their phones leave the T-Mobile warehouse until today. I had a UPS tracking number (two day express) since early Friday morning but the phone didn't get to UPS until today. T-Mobile's internal systems obviously aren't too robust. I don't think they held the shipping up because of a 4/20 sale date; I think they're just incompetent.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spyz88:
WOW. Just wow. That's INSANE.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skyhigh2004:
+1 to this.

sent from my side of the galaxy....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] compuguy1088:
In that case, until someone offers or makes a software unlock, this phone is off my radar.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sk337sk337:
If you buy on a contract you can't have it until after your buyers remorse (14 or 30 days). Full price can be requested as soon as you buy and FAX. I KNOW what I'm talking about :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AuroEdge:
I should've been specific when saying, at least the people I encountered, would not supply a key when you buy the phone outright.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lionsson:
Yes they will unlock it for you if you bought it at full retail price and here is the Email from T-Mobile Sim Unlock Team and it worked, but I have bad news I called Tmobile and LG and had extensive conversation with them, basically came to the conclusion that the frequencies are there but the software is not configure to work with AT&T's 3G network until and if the merger is fulfilled. And even a Tmobile advance support hinted that this was done for their business purposes not because the phone wasn't capable.

So I have a G2x unlocked working on AT&T's voice and 2G after a quick APN setup, but no 3G.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] info[]box1:
Is there any up to date information on this.?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] besthijacker:
What information?

Tmobile will unlock the phone for you if you ask.

Pretty sure G2x does not carry ATT bands. Only the 2X has 1900/2100 suppport.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
It's impossible. The radio doesn't support att's 3g or 4G band. You'll only be able to get 2g speeds.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csbd:
Plenty of hacking , but can't seem to sort out what I did to break full screen video capability.

Hulu, Youtube, etc. Full screen appears briefly then reverts back to original size.

A few things I did right before I noticed the problem:

- replaced the installed awn binary to allow more customization, themes and applets.

- edited /usr/local/bin/start-oshwt-2.sh to start lxpanel instead of awn

- modified all the usual ~/.*%gconf.xml files to suit my taste.

When I first noticed the fullscreen video failure, I took out the 4 virtual desktops entry for

metacity and that seemed to fix the problem temporarily.

Then I suddenly started seeing the problem again.

Reverted files back to original, moved ~/.mozilla out out the way, even turned metacity composting off but, still no luck.

Any idea where to look?

Thanks!

Please ignore. Clearly I didn't change everything back. I did and it works.

It's my problem to sort through and see what I did that it didn't like. That's most of the fun anyway...

As the title says, I can't mount my SD card in CWM to flash my zip files. My theory is that I might be missing something because my last SD card got killed while in my phone and this is a new card. Also when I boot up the phone the SD is accessed normally, only unaccessible while in CWM.
