You can actually go as far as upgrading to latest Gingerbread rom but preserving the unlockable radio from 2.4.29. Head over rootzwiki to find out how. And be patient, read everything before start asking further questions.

Band unlock problems

Is anyone else having trouble just getting the band unlock to work? (Yes I have read and re-read the entire thread).

I'm a noob who has spent the last 1 1/2 weeks learning. I have sucessfully unlocked, flashed, rooted, & bootstrapped two D2G's. I then did the band unlock via the zip method. And when that did not seem to work I used RadioComm and verified that the change had been made, & then re-did it manually just to be sure.

Now here's what's happening om both phones; When I put in the Straight Talk sim the phone usually will not see it, but after enough re-boots it finally does. So I switch to GSM/UMTS and put in the APN, but the phone still says "no networks available". I can take the sim out & put it in an AT&T phone and it works just fine.

Any ideas? I feel I am so close it is driving me nuts/keeping me up a night!
[Droid 2 Global General] projektorboy:
You've already unlocked your D2G with an unlock code, right?
[Droid 2 Global General] martj369:
D2G not seeing sim

Yes. First I got the unlock code from Verizon & (sim) unlocked it. Then I used the ezSBF method to flash it back to 2.4.29. Then bootstrapped it and did a backup. Then did the band unlock via the zip file. At that time the phone did detect the sim on the 6th try so I switched it to GSM/UTMS and put in the Straight talk APN, but it still could not pick up any gsm network. So I used Radiocomm to double check that the proper string/digit had been changed, and it had. when the phone finally found the sim card again after several re-boots, it still would not pick up any GSM networks so I used Radiocomm again and manually put the 0 in where the C used to be, even though it was now showing 0 already at that point.

And actually I cannot even get the phone (either one, cause I did all this to two of them) to see the sim card at all, so I can't even check the band unlock anymore. I have cleaned the sim card and the phone contacts I think pretty well. And the sim works great when I put it back in my wife's phone.

I hope that covers everything.

Thank you for responding. I would really appreciate any suggestions you can give.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Its floating around, you can log in, but you can't stream yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landara:
If I could recall the link I'd post it but long story short is this: Netflix will not allow any phone without a special processor on it which prevents copyright infringement to run the Netflix App. There are like 2 phones maybe which already have this, they say(speaking only of Android ones here). Snapdragon procs can indeed have this, however the OEM would have to had requested this when they ordered them from Qualquam. And apparently they did not, so if you are on an EVO you will never get legit Netflix(or on almost any other current phone). Newer phones will start to have labels like(Netflix Enabled!) soon and this is the only way android is actually gonna get Netflix. Hopefully the hacker community can get those of us with custom ROMS access but from the article I read(which was very detailed) it isn't looking very likely at all(something about Netflix being encrypted in some way and you having to have one of these special CPUs just to watch it I believe).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seandelise:
That sucks thats for sure. I would love netflix then I wouldn't have to carry my ipod touch around anymore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nucher:
There is a way to watch Netflix on an android Phone with Playon. Playon is PC software that runs on your home computer, and then your phone connects to your home computer. You must have your PC on anytime you want to watch Netflix. I have never tried it but I did look into it.

http://www.playon.tv/supported-devices
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonestarranger:
Isn't that the same reason Netflix doesn't run on Linux distros? So, naturally, I'd assume it'd come on to Android, only when it can first come on to Linux.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamantypants:
Yes and no. It actually did work on Linux way back when. But the problem is that Netflix uses Silverlight and that contains DRM libraries that Netflix enjoys. Netflix streaming worked on Moonlight a long time ago but the libraries have been updated. Now as far as phones go, there's only one phone that will officially have Netflix on Android. And that phone has a processor that plays well with the DRM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e-zzy1:
Check out the Android Movies app, its better than netflix cause you don't need a subscription, just purchase the app and thats it!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] F0rgiven:
In due time, I'm sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] electric33l:
The bootloader is unlocked, S-Off refers to HTC phones. The fact that you can do a permanent root and install clockworkmod means that S-Off is irrelevant to this device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdaclutch:
S-off also meaning that the phone is unlocked for any carriers right? (that's what my buddy told me, and i got it on my g2).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
no, that's cid
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cmstlist:
On a particular generation of HTC phones (Desire HD/Inspire, Mytouch 4G, G2/Desire Z), when you get RADIO S-OFF you can soft-SIM-unlock the phone. This is not a general rule with HTC phones or any other brand for that matter.

Also on many of the Samsung Galaxy S phones (and Tab) you can use a different method to soft-SIM-unlock.

To my knowledge this is not usually possible on LG Androids. You would need to get an unlock code.

After searching around on xda forums and here, I've not seen this subject brought to anyone's attention, unless ive not looked deep enough. I don't know if its something im doing wrong or if its specific to sgs but when ever i try viewing online videos like m.tvcatchup or tv shows stream on the stock external player more times than not it comes up with video cannot be played. I had hoped that maybe froyo and subsequently gingerbread would have corrected the problem but on both my 2 sgs and stock roms on all versions and darkys roms have come up with the same problem. Id like to know if anyone else has had that problem or if its something a dev may be able to look into and maybe correct a fault if there is one. after talking to the mods at m.tv they assure me its nothing wrong with there side of things and they've only heard of the sgs having problems. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
I fixed recovery for the Continuum users so that you have your own button mappings. It isn't integrated into the kernel yet, but I'm going to attempt to get that fully working (I have it partially working atm). Until that is fixed, you get the update.zip method for CWM. So, to accomplish this, you'll need to download two things. First, you need the update.zip file, which is placed on the root of the SDCard (/sdcard/update.zip) and the second item is the recovery kernel, which is flashed via Odin (v1.3). It is now integrated into the kernel and it has been updated to the EC09 kernel. This package will flash both recovery and kernel (so you don't loose CWM when the system boots). Note that if you are still on DL17, you should use the archive packages below. What you will need is this file, and you will want to flash it via Odin (or extract it and use Heimdall).

Open Odin, click the PDA button and browse to and select the continuum_recovery.tar.md5 I400_CWM.tar.md5 file that you downloaded. Remove the battery from your phone, and hold down the volume down button while plugging in the USB cable that is attached to your computer. Make sure you have the drivers installed, if not, you'll need to install them before you continue. Flash the file by clicking start if the phone is detected in Odin. Once it completes successfully, all you need to do is boot to recovery and apply sdcard/update.zip and you'll be in CWM. I decided upon black background with cyan text. This can still be changed if you wish, but I like it :p

Here are your button mappings:

Camera button/Grip sensor - Select Item (applies to cwm and stock recovery)

Volume Up/Down - Scroll up/down in the list (applies to cwm and stock recovery)

Power Button - Select Item

Menu Button - Does nothing

Home Button - Go Back

Back Button - Go Back

Search Button - Hide Text

I'm still trying to figure out how to get buttons to show up for the touchkeys. For now, they're blank, so just press in the approximate location on the screen for them. We may or may not be able to get buttons there at some point. Also, when you initially boot to recovery, there will be a message about update.zip being gone. Ignore the message as it seems to be a bug. As long as you copied the update.zip from this thread to your SDCard, you should be fine. Enjoy.

If you like my work, feel free to donate to me. Alternatively, sign up for Dropbox via my referral link ;) Also, remember that none of this would really be possible without the generosity of DroidXcon, so you could donate to him as well.

[Continuum Android Development] circa881:

[Continuum Android Development] ntien:
Noob question. Is the recovery kernel were supposed to download along with the update.zip an actual kernel?
[Continuum Android Development] ntien:
And what exactly is the difference between this CWM and the original CWM?
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
You need to flash the recovery kernel via Odin, and it is an actual kernel. The update.zip is a fakeflash recovery. It basically kills the currently running recovery and starts up CWM recovery in its place.

The difference is that this recovery has the correct button mapping, where the update.zip that Adrynalyne posted was using the Fascinate's button layout, so things didn't work as expected.
[Continuum Android Development] ntien:
so i can't have both this version of the clockwork recovery mod and the peanutbutta jelly time kernel at the same time?
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
Yes you can. Recovery is a full kernel, it just boots using a different file and set of commands, and it doesn't start up the android system once booted and provides just a minimal environment. The recovery kernel and standard kernel lie on two separate partitions, and in actuality, this recovery kernel is the standard kernel as well.
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
New CWM update.zip file. Like we did for the Fascinate about a month or so ago, I'm going to try to get everything moved over the CWM 3.x and Edify Scripting. Here is a new update.zip file to be able to use the most up-to-date version of CWM. I'll also try to keep this file updated as Koush and the rest of the CM team update CWM.

Instructions

1. Download me

2. Rename file to update.zip and put it on the root of your SD Card, overwriting the previous update.zip

3. Boot to recovery and apply update.zip

I may give replacing stock recovery entirely again another shot as well, eliminating the need for the update.zip entirely, but no promises. Also note that nandroid backups made with the previous update.zip file will not work with this version of CWM. If you like having the nandroid backup available, redo your backups so you have them for the new CWM.

Deleted cause it was a stupid question

Hey imnuts, every time I try to restore my phone with this clockwork, it screws up my phone saying it cant mount this stuff etc. it worked with regular recovery and old clockwork, but the new clockwork messes up my phone when I try and restore my phone.

[Continuum Android Development] circa881:
I didn't know you needed CWM for that
[Continuum Android Development] ntien:
You dont. I'm just saying that when I do try to wipe my phone from there the mount problem occurs, and that never happened with the old CWM
[Continuum Android Development] samuelhadams:
So we don't need to install the recovery kernal via Odin like the OP suggests? Just apply update.zip via stock recovery?

Also, do we have a stock recovery anywhere? If not, I can dump mine if someone shows me how.

Oh, and yes you actually do need to install the recovery kernel.... That makes it so the cwm sticks, as far as i am guessing at least.. There is no harm in doing it....
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
If you already had CWM working, then you won't need to flash the recovery kernel in Odin, just replace the update.zip. If you didn't have CWM working before, then flash the recovery kernel with Odin and also put the update.zip file on your sdcard.

Then stock recovery loads. But the camera key still works and the update.zip doesn't work again. Is there a way to get back in?
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
You may have to flash the CWM recovery again in Odin. My best guess is when you flash EC03 it replaces the CWM recovery with the stock recovery. Try flashing the CWM again.

[Continuum Android Development] an-dru:
First off, what recovery kernel are you using? (It's flashed in odin in order to get to clockwork) There are three of them...

Imnuts recovery kernel (in op)

Adryn's test 4.tar in *official cwm*

Or adryn's test_2.tar.md5 in clockwork for continuum thread

I had this same problem using imnuts recovery kernel... i only flashed the test_2.tar.md5 and it fixed it right up
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
See this is the problem, there are 3 recovery kernels and who knows how many update.zip files.

I flashed the continuum_recovery.tar.md5 kernel from the recovery thread.

In the post following this please include links for the proper kernel and proper update.zip.

I will start a new updated Recovery thread and hopefully we can get it stickied.
