This forum is for people who want to develop roms and make phones better. And they are not always going to work. I am a developer myself and they are just asking for a bit of help as there is. So don't give these people crap cos they made a mistake. I used CWM 3.0.2.5 and I had no probs and I partitioned and formatted and my phone didn't brick so its not them.

Guys I will post a link to where you can get help. Don't listen to this spammer
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BinaryXeroMedia:
Guys do you have a flash programme on your computer cos if so you should be able to download the generic ( stock ) firmware and flash it onto you phone as long as it still charges but if it don't then I hate to say you should of got a Sony Ericsson X10 if you want better roms. Ask you dealer for help as there is none here so far

i thought this was interesting. maybe a FREE way to hard spl? i have not tried this out. have no idea if it works. iam not a dev i dont know if this can even be called hard spl. or just a reg edit.

Regedit STG

This is a signed version which is needed to unlock the phone (a little easier to unlock than a IPhone). Cut & paste from Robert Peloschek’s blog:

1.Simply put the *.zip file with the regeditSTG.exe in it with ActiveSync into a folder on your phone (but not onto the memory card).

2.Unzip the file with the *.zip program that comes with your phone.

3.Now start regeditSTG.exe and change the following Registry Keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 2

-> Change the value data from 2 to 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 16

-> Change the value data from 16 to 40

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 128 (mine 36)

-> Change the value data from 128 to 144

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies

-> Add new value “0000101b”: Dword = 1

After you have done all these steps close Regedit STG with the task manager (TaskMan) of your phone and reboot. That’s it. Your phone is now totally application unlocked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
nah, application unlock is not CID unlock.

by the way, if you are a personal user, Hard-SPL is free for you, if you got any issues with using the Hard-SPL, you can always ask in the Hard-SPL thread.

I went to account setting and tried to both delete the "signature" and uncheck including it. Changes do not stick.

I changes permissions on the APK in system (they stuck), repeated above - same result. Rebooted and tried again - no luck. Tried searching for the text with Root Explorer - also no luck.

I could try deleting the app and installing another version, but since it is in /system, reluctant to do that - have had issues doing that in the past.

Extremely annoying and am reluctant to send emails with it still there. Looking for suggestions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] carm.me:
I'll be toying with this later as well. Its quite annoying especially with an exchange account.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pauldavid77:
Please search for this on the forums. I posted the same issue and someone posted a apk to fix it. I did it and it works.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
I did search, and already downloaded a Froyo 2.2 EMail apk. I did not see any specific instillation instructions - so want to be sure I don't mess up the ROM (although I already have a nandriod).

I had already installed(app) a different Email app this phone (for another issue). It worked, but would not not keep email marked as read unless I fully opened them (simply checking and selecting "mark read" did not stick).

So was wondering if there is a specific flashing procedure I should follow (like deleting the app in system, inserting new one, and reboot). Again - reluctant to mess with /system directly.

Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Thanks I am rooted, but I think I just flashed over the existing app and some "noise" must have carried over. Did it the way in the other thread and it worked OK
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Attached is the actual Email.apk (so your not going through 3 different forums)

Download it to your SD Card

Using Root Explorer:

Navigate to /system/app

Press and hold "Email.apk" and select rename from menu.

Rename it "Email.apk.bak", confirm.

Navigate to /sdcard/_ExternalSD

Press and hold new "Email.apk" and select copy from menu.

Navigate back to /system/app and select "Paste" from the bottom button.

Click on the new "Email.apk" and choose to install it.

Setup Email, set Signature, give me a "Thanks", and drink a beer... you deserved it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RubenAG9:
When I go to rename the file, it says ""Email.apk" not renamed". Now what do I do? :(

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] almostinsane:
Try ending the task first. Are you rooted?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Go into settings>applications>manage applications, find Email, Clear Cache

Do this before renaming and pasting the new one over. Rebooting after clearing cache, might help too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tangyoulei:
not sure why, but the downloaded email app cannot set up MS Exchange account? Am I missing something here? Thanks for the help.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] RubenAG9:
I cleared the cache and rebooted and its still not working. I cannot rename the file. I also cannot even see any files in my SD card when I use the Rooted explorer. :( I don't know what's going on. I was sure that I rooted the phone correctly. I followed all of the rooting instructions. It went smoothly. Is there a way I can check if I rooted my phone correctly?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RubenAG9:
I can't even end the task from the Root explorer. I dont see any options to end the task. I was sure that I rooted it correctly. I followed all of the instructions and everything ran smoothly. How can I tell if I rooted my phone correctly?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I use Enhanced E-Mail from the Market. It's an overlay for the existing e-mail client not a replacement like TouchDown (TD flattens the databases screwing up my contacts via Bluetooth). It's $9.99 and will allow you to change your signature (plus provides a ton of useful features). I know you shouldn't have to buy a third party product and T-Mobile's stupid for locking the signature on the phone but your sanity may be worth $9.99.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
Don't use any unlock tools because your phone is already unlocked. There is something else preventing it from working with other sim cards.

I have purchased a SC-02B from someone in Japan and now I have a device to work on. Please note that all unlock methods are currently not working on this phone.

In order to unlock this phone I need some help from the community. Once we come up with a working unlock I will post detailed instructions here.

My observations so far...

The phone I got is already unlocked (go to phone and enter *#7465625# and tell me what it says)

The 'unlocked' phone will not read a US SIM card

If I have the SIM card out I can't access the mobile networks page under settings but if the SIM card is in I can... this tells me that the phone IS reading the SIM card.

With a Galaxy S ROM/Modem I can't get to the mobile networks page under settings

My guess...

There is somthing in the modem.bin that locks this phone to a Docomo SIM card.

The fix will require a modem.bin flash (not real sure on this but I think it is looking that way)

The next steps?

I have read online that Docomo is offering to unlock a phone for $40... Anyone want to try?

If someone in Japan could get this thing unlocked and dump the modem.bin and efs folder before and after I think a quick diff would tell us how to unlock this phone.

If you have data on this unlock please post here or email me if you want to send files.

To extract the files

Just go to adb shell or a terminal emulator and type the following

su
mkdir /sdcard/rom/
cd /sdcard/rom/
dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=param.lfs bs=16k
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=zImage bs=16k
dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=factoryfs.rfs bs=16k
dd if=/dev/block/stl10 of=dbdata.rfs bs=16k
dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=cache.rfs bs=16k
dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=modem.bin bs=16k
busybox cp -r /efs /sdcard/rom/

Copy the rom folder off your sdcard.... zip it up.... and put it on google docs or something and send me the link... do the same thing after you get it unlocked and maybe we can figure out how to tackle this thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thisoneguy:
I have already pledged the unlock fee. Only need to know what I need to do...

Btw...the code says "rejected"...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
I think you just have to go to Docomo and tell them you want to travel and you need that phone unlocked.

You punched the code in as if you were making a call? That is really weird it works fine on mine... could you copy your /efs/ folder and email it to me before you do the unlock?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thisoneguy:
I will ask, but from what i understand, www.softbanksucks.blogspot.com the only handsets eligable for unlock from docomo are phone debueted after 1 Apr 2011...

and I know i have upped my efs folder somewhere round xda... I will see if i can find it...

Otherwise will have to wait till i get home... rocking the nexus today...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
Supposedly anyone with that sptbox can unlock it for you so you might try the local phone repair shops.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thisoneguy:
And here is the promised link for the efs.

http://db.tt/ckUfi4M

Local repair shops... I am in a rather rual area... I can ask...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
Thanks... Please let me know what you find out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
I will try to work on this over the weekend... Did anyone get theirs unlocked?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thisoneguy:
.... I am comming up to a loss on finding cell phone repair other than from the carrier shops.... I have no kidding gone in to at least 3 electronic stores (of the mom'n'pop) variety... and all have kinda just laughed and asked why I don't go back to docomo...

I am still thinking on places i can check... but if you have any other leads... I am more than willing to investigate...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
The only other thing would be anyone that has that sptbox.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
A couple PMs I received on this issue and my reply.... I know thisoneguy said he would do the unlock but I thought it couldn't hurt to have 2-999 people try :D

I would restore your nv_data.bin and don't use any unlock tools because your phone is already unlocked. There is something else preventing it from working with other sim cards. I am going to post this reply on the thread

I have heard that Docomo will unlock the phone for you for about $40 if you are in an area to do that then please make a backup of your rom and /efs/ folder and go get it unlocked.

Just go to adb shell or a terminal emulator and type the following

su
mkdir /sdcard/rom/
cd /sdcard/rom/
dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=param.lfs bs=16k
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=zImage bs=16k
dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=factoryfs.rfs bs=16k
dd if=/dev/block/stl10 of=dbdata.rfs bs=16k
dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=cache.rfs bs=16k
dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=modem.bin bs=16k
busybox cp -r /efs /sdcard/rom/

Copy the rom folder off your sdcard.... zip it up.... and put it on google docs or something and send me the link... do the same thing after you get it unlocked and maybe we can figure out how to tackle this thing.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SBS:
Yeah, this is correct. Docomo won't unlock anything that is currently available. The first android they will unlock will be the Aquos sh-12 that goes on sale on May 20th. summer 2011 models here.

But this is from Sharp. If I had a blacklist of Japanese handset makers, sharp would be on the top of the list for abandoning their first android device and leaving to rot forever on 1.6 Donut with a locked bootloader.

:mad: AU officially abandons Sharp IS01: that was fast :mad:

The GS2 won't be available until at least "late june"

Beginning with the 1.6 Donut image for the ht-03a (32B Magic), IMEI unlocks tend not to work on Docomo firmware. If you can flash a custom ROM, it will unlock via IMEI code.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thisoneguy:
Are you positive on this... Has anyone tried... All I understand is that you flash the custom rom and then it cannont read you simcard.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
FYI it looks like someone has figured out a sort of unlock method... I am going to be researching it and then I will post a guide....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thisoneguy:
Outstanding... Ready to hear more@!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
I moved and I still can't find my SC-02B... I know you are waiting for it. Basically what I saw is that the phone isn't "locked" but you do have to add your new carrier to the lock list otherwise it wont recognize it. Once I find that phone I will post a full guide. Sorry it is taking so long.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] krarvind:
My 2 Cents. I have seen a similar issue with Nokia e63. I bought it of a local buy and sell website. It was a rogers phone but originally unlocked but not debranded. I had to debrand it and voila i could see other networks apart from rogers. May be something similar going on here.

for anyone get the sc-02b:

the docomo galaxy s sc-02b doesnot lock, u dont nedd to unlock ur phone, to use for any carier network, simple insert ur sim card, from dial pad, press:

and the control key is 00000000.

note: do not install anny custom firmware or u'll lost phone's baseband---->ur phone cant read sim card any more.:eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:

i've spent 2 days for trying to install custom fw on my sc-02b, but still get the baseband problem.i've find out that the japan galaxy sc-02b get a different baseband chip with the others, so i try to install the darky rom with skip baseband option, and the baseband still gets problem, tried to install modem.bin only by odin, get the same problem.-----------> be so tiered----> no hope to install custom fw on sc-02b ( cry!!!!! <T . T> )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:
ok... it is official... somewhere in the last 2 moves I lost my SC-02B. If anyone has one they are not using I would love to try some of the new methods on it. I will ship it back when I am done. Just let me know dagentooboy@yahoo.com

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] woodhead:

[General Questions and Answers] markosjal:
I have a previously SIM unlocked Samsung Vibrant that has since been upgraded to Froyo via the official Samsung release.

I am currently using the phone on Telcel Mexico which as I understand it uses the same data frequencies as ATT in the USA.

When I connect to the data network, I get Edge only.

What must I do to get 3G? I tested my SIM in an iPhone and I get 3g with my same SIM in an iPhone.
[General Questions and Answers] josediaz1:
Try this as it could help both of us.

I found this thread from another source and haven't tried it myself since i haven't been in Mexico yet but i suppose this might help. I also have an unlocked Samsung Vibrant android version 2.2 and already put a AT&T SIM card and received 3G. Ill try this myself whenever i obtain a Telcel SIM.

So follow these steps as it could help both of us.

1. In your android phone, get into:

Settings-> Wireless and Network Settings-> Mobile Networks-> Access

Point Names (APN)

2. Then Create one NEW access point and give it a name, (I'll use: Internet 3G)

3. Fill in the data as follows:

APN: internet.itelcel.com

This is internet.itelcel.com<-------- itelcel has an initial "i"

Username: webgprs

Password: webgprs2002

APN type: default <------ Type the word "default" in lowercase and don't

put in the quotes

Leave all the rest fields with their default values.

4. Restart the phone and when it starts back up you should see the 3G logo

on the status bar.

If that didn't work I'm so sorry. Like I've said, i haven't tried this method yet but i will as soon as i get a 3G SIM card. If this didn't work thy following the steps shown in this thread. It says that Telcel runs on 850 MHz frequency and our phone aren't selected, by the default, to this frequency. There is a way to manually select it to this frequency, though. Once again these aren't my threads and are from outside source.

I installed LeeDroid 3.0.3 on my Desire this morning and it seems to be working very well so far. But when I hold down the power button to bring up the Power Options menu, there's no longer an option to put the phone on silent mode - is there any way of doing this quickly other than by using the volume keys (which is too fiddly for my liking)? Maybe some way of readding the Silent option to the menu? As it's both the first Gingerbread Rom and the first LeeDroid Rom I've tried, I'm unsure which one of them introduced this change...

I suspect the server's just overloaded with all the new Amazon users (myself included).

Early this morning, I was also able to get to the clock skins, but most of the thumbnails didn't show. I did manage to view to the weather skins and even downloaded one.

Now I can't load either list, which is what makes me think it's some kind of server traffic issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Mine's fine, but I purchased mine a while back.

I'm also using wifi, if that's relevant.

Fancy Widget had to have given permission to Amazon. The version on the market has a market license check. I always get a message if I restore from TB & don't have a data connection. This would have to be modified by the developer to accommodate whatever license check Amazon uses.

Also, if they didn't get permission, technically it would be pirating to download it. I don't think Amazon would put themselves in that situation.

Since the apk is already modified, it may be modified to use a different skin server so paying users aren't interrupted by the masses of free downloads.
