SHOWS AN INCS (SAME PHONE) USING THE CLIP. AND A MUCH SMARTER WAY OF INSERTING THE DUMMY SIM INTO THE PHONE SO YOU DONT HURT THE WIRE..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
CM7 is freakin sweet. Hang tight guys, its on the way! SIM unlock worked however my particular SIM has problems finding a network - could be because its for an old BB storm...looks like I'm getting a new one when I get abroad.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] imTousey:
I will absolutely go in if you havent gotten 10 committed people yet. Ill send ya a PM.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
sorry man, we're all filled up - clip is being passed around now. After all the initial folks get it I can probably resend out to another batch unless Alpharev X is out by then in which case it wont matter.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradleyz:
I know this wont be much help to the first 5 on the list, but I have plenty of 2gb sdcards laying around and can make the gold card and send it on. Mattwood2000 you can have it for future needs.

So, its not going to work for anyone past the 4th person on the list?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
No I think how it is currently panning out is that for some reason it only has 100 uses. Because of Matt's testing he used up four of those. Sounds like we should be good for the foreseeable future unless someone makes an awful lot of mistakes!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradleyz:
Ah, gottcha. Totally just reread his post. Made more sense when I got off work. Thanks! :-)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
kinda BS if you ask me - it was supposed to be unlimited.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
I agree, it's pretty disappointing. I would say something about how it is kind of like Verizon's Unlimited Data plan, but that's just too painful!

Matt, looks like you've been trying a few different ROMs since you got root. I was excited before, now I keep cursing myself for not checking the forum earlier. Why did I have to wait so long! The suspense is killing me!

Well murphey's law strikes again.. alpharev beta2 support was just released...go figure

http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/

For the people on the list ill refund your money if you want to drop out - I said I was going to buy the clip anyway. Let me know what you want to do.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cadon69:
But, it wont work on GB, when it drops. I am more looking to be able to use GB with root via the clip!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Good thing...its out first thing tomorrow to arrive monday
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cadon69:
Awesome, I so can't wait.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradleyz:
I don't expect any refund. It was an awesome gesture.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] efaden:
I still want to S-Off the radio....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
I too am looking forward to having root with the eminent GB update as well as having a full SIM unlock. By the way, I saw you were having some issues with that. Were you Abe to get them straightened out?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Not yet I will try to get another sim to try this weekend and keep everyone updated
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Hi guys, gdi2290 has dropped out of the list. If others would rather use alpharev x I completely understand and will refund your money. Just shoot me a PM and I'll update the list as I receive them - for those still wanting the clip, please get updated shipping info as the list changes.

Thanks, Matt.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spizzo03:
No refund necessary. It was a great gesture for you to allow us to join you on the XTC Clip, but alas I'm S-Off as of midnight last night.

Whoever is before does not need to send me the clip. Please PM the next person after me and send it to them directly.

Thanks everyone! This is indeed a great community
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lukesjr:
If anyone is the on the list and in the DC area, maybe we can meet up and I can either pay the money you contributed or pay the shipping to the next person.

thanks.

Status Update?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cadon69:
I'm just waiting to get the device so I can use it quick and Overnight it out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
You should get it by 3pm tomorrow.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rm2011:
after you send it can you tell me how much it actually cost to overnight? distance?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lstarr:
OK I was antsy and did the alpharev s-off... so you can overnight to the next on the list and skip over me..... no refund necessary !

THX guys!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cadon69:
I have free Fed Ex service through the warehouse at my work so I have no idea what the cost would be, plus our account with them is so big I have a feeling it would be majorly discounted anyways.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
Whether I end up needing the the Clip or not will depend on what Matt finds with the SIM card slot. Half the reason I bought thus phone was because it had that. If he can't get SIM cards to work once the Clip has been used, I'll have to go the software route and get the less functional unlock code from Verizon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Still haven't gotten my hands on an AT&T SIM or other US SIM card, however in doing some research I came across similar behavior from the Droid 2 Global device - I'm updating my other thread on this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160308

I haven't finished reading the whole thread, but I'm willing to bet VZW is blocking carrier IDs on our HW as well in the US and that if you were abroad and unlocked you would have no problem.

I am also willing to bet a hacked or engineering radio would help fix this as well. I'm running the latest radio 1.09.01.0622. Perhaps other will have different/better luck with other radios?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
Matt thanks for the info, I'd be very interested in how your overseas trip goes. For some reason I thought I understood that your SIM slot was totally borked by the Clip. If it is just that I can't get AT&T and T-Mobile, I suppose I could live with that. Everyone I know uses Verizon anyway.

I was just hoping for a total SIM unlock from the Clip. From the way it sounds, using the Clip provides you with the same type of unlock as the unlock code from Verizon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Thats correct - my SIM slot is fine, in fact the phone recognizes and sees the SIM card (i.e I can see the ID in the system info), but it just doesn't pick up any signals which I believe is due to MCC filtering.

I suspect I will have no problems when I go abroad, however now I'm just pissed and want to get the phone to work on US GSM carries just because big red says I can't!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
Decided after our conversation that I really didn't need to go about using the hardware method. Currently using the rooted/debloated GB update.

You can drop me from the list, no refund necessary.

Thanks again, we just had bad timing is all.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cadon69:
Hopefully USPS delivers the clip today so I can use it and get it out to efaden. I will keep updating as I know more. Like I have said before though, as soon as I get it I will fed Ex Overnight it out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Well, I kind of got the SIM to work...not really sure how, but I updated to the RMK gingerbread stock ROM, and before rebooting the phone I updated the radio to the latest and then booted into the ROM - The phone didnt connect to a network but when I searched for providers AT&T and T-Mobile come up. It wouldn't let me connect - it said my SIM card was not allowed to connect to either of those networks.

Whats strange is if I try to search for providers again, it says error searching for them.

I think this is just a SIM card issue as my card is for Europe. I think I'll be able to get an AT&T SIM to try tonight. Also, I've received reports that multiple people can use T-Mobile with no problems so I'm not too worried anymore.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cadon69:
Once I get the clip here at work, I can try out a tmobile and att sim card. I forgot there are people here that are on those networks LoL!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cadon69:
Package delivered. I am going to get a 9 Volt battery at lunch and I will leave it in the package when I send it out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
You dont need the 9V...thats only for stanadalone mode.

You need to connect a mini-USB cable to your computer so it will download the software for you.

Glad it finally arrived...USPS lied to me! :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cadon69:
Hmm, I just used the SD card you sent with it and a 9V battery and it worked perfect. Once the Gold card is made you can use it for anyone. I read it on a different thread. It works perfect. I am S-Off, and will be sending this out Overnight to efaden as Istarr has also backed out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
Cadon, I'd be interested to know how things work out with your US Based SIM cards. I don't want to seem flaky and keep changing my mind, but there doesn't seem to be any kind of diffinitive answers around on the matter.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cadon69:
Ok I am home now, but first thing in the morning I will ask for a Tmobile sim at work from a co worker and try it out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] efaden:
Anyone know how to apply this over alpharev?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Confirmed at&t sim worked just fine!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
That's great Matt. You're really making me reconcider whether I should use the clip for my SIM unlock as originally planned. I don't know how often I would use it but it would be really nice to have.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] balaams_ass:
So I was off by a couple days..... Guys I'll bow out of the shipping loop as I have no need for an unlocked SIM. Matt if'n I change my mind in the near future I assume you'll ship it out to me ?

.ba
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Yeah, not a problem.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
No problem let me know soon before and ill re-add you.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] efaden:
Got it. Will get it out this afternoon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cadon69:
The device has been delivered to efaden

"Jul 13, 2011 9:54 AM

Delivered

Left at front door. Package delivered to recipient address - release authorized"

This is a really nice and easy tool to use. I even upgraded to the OTA before I used the tool. It still worked perfect, and I was able to flash recovery to CWM and flash root directly to the stock setup.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jshute:
Any room on the list?

Any room on the list? It looks like you do not have 10 folks on the updated OP. I have an Incredible S on the way and would like to S-off it and it sounds like some of the newest ROM versions are having problems with the software route.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] efaden:
Done. Packed up and heading to UPS store now to drop off. Next guy will have Friday.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Sure, I dont see why not - PM rm2011 with your shipping info - when your done, send it back to me - I'll PM you my shipping info.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
Matt, if you wouldn't mind terribly adding me back to the list. I'd like to have the option of the fully unlocked sim. I just hope I didn't cause myself any problems having used alpharevx already.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
do you remember where you were in line...sorry, I've been a bit busy with work and didnt save a running list except in the OP which I've been editing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kapnkream:
Is it too late to get in on the list? I've tried the alpharevx route and managed to get S-OFF but I am stuck there.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
if your S-Off, what else do you hope to accomplish? The XTC clip will not root the phone for you - it does what you have already achieved. You need to install a custom hboot and clockwork mod, as well as superuser.apk in order to gain true "root". Or once you install hboot and CWM, you can just install any of the rooted ROMs that have come out.

I guess you could be added to this list, but if all you are trying to do is root, then it will not help you. There are some threads going on how to install jcase's hboot and CWM.

Thanks, Matt.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
At one point I was after bradleyz, though I would certainly be ok if I got bumped to later in the list or even the end for the hassle I've caused.

Either way, let me know. Thanks again.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Guys, I updated the list - jesand83 wanted back in after confirming the SIM unlock works. I dont remember exactly where he was, but he said after bradleyz. Check the OP and make sure you PM your shipping info to the person before you.

If jesand83's position is wrong or there are major objections PM him and me and we'll work it out.

Thanks, Matt.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kapnkream:
Thanks for the response. After fiddling around with it some more this afternoon with the help of some of the forum postings here I was able to get my dinc2 rooted. Not complaining or anything because I was able to find all the important posts eventually, but someone should compile all the howto information into one post for noobs like me.

Hmm, maybe I should that since all the information is still fresh in my mind...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Cool congrats I thought you already had it rooted...misread your post. Enjoy the freedom!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] edster00:
That would be great if you would do that! :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jonesyjonez:
I'd like to get in on the list if possible, just let me know how much and who to pay haha.

My phone automatically updated itself to 2.3 without prompting me so I need the XTC now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rm2011:
PM mattwood2000 and he will let you know if it's possible or not. It was either $13 or $14.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] THATTON:

Package Was Delivered to the Next Guy in Line.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
Anyone know where the XTC Clip is at? I talked to bradleyz, who is the person before me, and he had not seen it yet.

efaden, who was it that you sent the Clip to?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] efaden:
It was sent to spizzo03... who was on the list, but isn't any more?... it was delivered on Friday.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
For $14 I would like to use it too.

Are we shipping continental US?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
efaden, thanks, I'll try sending him a PM to see if he can ship on on to bradleyz.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Thats strange...never got any PM from you...anyway, your on the list - PM the guy behind you your address and you might send a PM to the guy in front of you to remind him to give you his.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
OK you on...PM you THATTON you address.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
I was hoping this wouldn't happen, but no big deal I guess.

Guys, check the list as I've updated it with a couple of new folks and taken those off who wanted a refund and/or used alpharev x.

I think at this point I'll close off the list again until I receive the clip back...got another phone I want to unlock the CID.

Thanks, Matt.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
For $14 I'm hella in. I'll shoot a PM. I don't care if S-OFF can't be reverted :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] beenz:
Sad face. I was waiting to see if mine would come with GB (it did). Looks like I'll have to wait until you open it back up
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] The Black Droid:
Depending on if my new dinc 2 comes with GB, I would like to get in on this. I really hope this guy doesn't keep the clip too long...or keep it permanently :eek:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Did you ever hear from him on this?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
I sent the message right after I posted that, no response yet. Sorry
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
So, now it's no where to be found :confused:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
I just sent him a message to see if he's got it

I wonder if it wouldn't be a bad idea to also include a phone number in the future?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:

Is this like a machine to make a gold card for dummies? Just go to the G1 section and there are full instructions to make a gold card. Please explain. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tpbklake:
No, it does more than just make a gold card. It has a diagnostic mode that allows you to turn the phones Security Flag OFF (S-OFF). This allows you to flash unsigned images to the device, such as custom recoveries and the ability to root.

[Shift General] PlayStation:
Can somebody please help me with Registry Editor? I am using Romeos 1.9a and I need to add certain files in to the Windows folder using a Registry Editor. I have tried to use the included Total Commander registry editor but I am getting stuck as I do not see any option to import the DLLs I need or even to paste them manually

I am basically looking for a solution to be able to stream live tv programmes using winmo side which is a new service introduced by my service provider using 3G. I have downloaded and installed the HTC Streaming Media Cab but I also need to add some DLLs associated with the cab to be able to launch the streaming app. I simply do not know how to add the DLLs to the Windows folder using Registry Editor. The procedure and materials needed are explained in a different forum. See Post # 90 by Shahad.

http://xdaforums.com/show...=288857&page=9

This is of course for a different device but I believe similar steps should work with a liberated Shift as this is HTC's own streaming media app.

Somebody please help.....
[Shift General] PlayStation:
Nevermind, will answer my own query. I managed to add the files using Total Commander Desktop together with Total Commander CE Plugin. But this adding the files caused the system to be unstable I had to re-install winmo. So this does not work. Just thought of posting this in case somebody reads the post and tries to get HTC Streaming Media app to work with the Shift..... ;)

[EVO 4G General] phishstics:
Chatted with an online technical "specialist" this morning regarding not getting my visual voicemail, and receiving the (in)famous "9016" text instead. While he was re-provisioning my phone, I decided to ask the tech about the latest GB update, and our ability to downgrade back to Froyo (for rooting purposes of course, but I did not share that little piece of info):

ME: "how can I downgrade my phone back to froyo?" i dont like the gingerbread update, and there seems to be no way to downgrade. since the update, i seem to have nothing but issues with my rom."

Agent: "I am sorry for the inconvenience caused due to Gingerbread updates. That is a known issue and our Technical Support Team is working to fix the issue with the Android. You will not be able to downgrade the update from your end but yes, you can visit any of the Sprint Store. We are well equipped to downgrade the updates from there. Also if you want to use the Gingerbread, we can update that from there successfully without any issues"

Agent: "I have also added a note on the account to assist you with at the store to downgrade the update."

ME: "so i can just go to the store and ask for the froyo downgrade, and they will do it for me?"

Agent: "You are most welcome. My notes are there on your account to assist you with."

AAAAAnyway...I plan on visiting the store this afternoon and will report my findings. I have a feeling they may give me a harder time than this agent lets on. But at least the notes are in my account that I've been having issues. If I can get root back today, I will be a happy camper (need to get my Titanium backups back!)
[EVO 4G General] superradrudeboy:
But do you know if this is going to revert the Hboot back to the previous version? Because the Hboot is what's preventing root on GB
[EVO 4G General] phishstics:
not sure, but with being able to revert back, one would assume so, right? anyway, i called said Sprint store, and was given a different answer: "No, they're giving you wrong information. We cannot downgrade you, sorry."

Perhaps I will try a different Sprint store.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Don't believe anything those chat people say. They are NOT specialists, they are people in India reading off a computer screen, they have NO idea what they are talking about.
[EVO 4G General] pandamaja:
regardless, you should post the results...
[EVO 4G General] phishstics:
Looks like I will end up having to visit the store anyway...since my visual voicemail STILL isn't working. Is it just me, or has Sprint's service been sh!t lately? At least here in CT it has been in regards to texts, pic mail, and now voicemail.
[EVO 4G General] Sideman7:
BTW, I assume your visual voicemail is not working because you updated handcent recently? There is a under handcent settings/application settings: default messaging client. If this is set to anything other than "disable" it will break your visual voicemail...
[EVO 4G General] phishstics:
Gave up on Hancent months ago...the updates were destroying an otherwise good app. Went with GoSMS, but now you've got me thinking...there may have been an update to it recently.

As far as a store visit goes, I called Sprint instead. In the end, factory reset on my phone fixed the VVM :( No downgrade for me either, after 10 minutes of pleading my case about how crappy GB is ;) "No sir, we cannot downgrade your phone. And most of these are network-related issues."

OK...well where's the rebate for the service on my bill reflecting your "network issues?"
[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
We only have as many tools as XDA does and we are not able to downgrade an s-on OTA device.
