If it is, I can't find it.

I have re-posted the question in the General forum, but all I got there so far is more of the same arrogant ignorance that some of the replies demonstrated here.

I believe it is perfectly clear from my original post that the phone is _already_ SIM unlocked and rooted.

Let's move further discussion to the General forum to avoid moderators' wrath.

If I'm not mistaken its a global phone. However the GSM frequency used abroad is different than in the states. Therefore I don't think it's possible.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studystand:
I just recently purchased a Bell Motorola Atrix and am interested in rooting it, installing CMW and installing a Custom ROM. I'm a bit worried because some of these tutorials specifically mention "AT&T" and not "International" or "Bell". Is it possible to root and install CMW and ROMs on a Bell Atrix? If so can you send me a link to the appropriate thread (tutorial for rooting/CWM/ROMs). Also, is it possible install the Alien ROM found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1186537 on a Bell Motorola Atrix?

Thank you!

p.s. Any software unlocking method out there that I can do myself that doesn't require $$?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2whisper:
Don't need that step. If my pm suggestion works let the community know.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studystand:
So I have officially unlocked the bootloader using IHOP and now i'm a bit confused as to my next step. Y2Whisper says that I can skip the rooting because it's included in the Alien ROM. So I thought to install CWM here but it tells you to "Remove install_recovery.sh" which I attempted but could not do since I do not have superuser permissions since I am not rooted. I assume I cannot install the Alien ROM without CWM. Some help would be really appreciated, thank you.

p.s. What CWM should I install? I've always used the one that came with ROM Manager, is that one compatible?

EDIT: Attempted to flash this CWM , seemed like it went okay but when I enter recovery i get a "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command"

Mind you, a transistor isn't a processor! A single modern processor includes approximately one billion transistors!

Hz also isn't everything, in the PC world, the trend for the last several years have been to improve the IPC, rather than the Hz! It's the reason that a Pentium 4 running nearly 4 GHz would be crushed by a Sandy Bridge running at <2 GHz (even ignoring the extra cores).

How exactly do we stand corrected? It doesn't seem to be contradicting anything... in either this or the quad core thread! If anything, it backs up the claim that nVidia will be first with quad core processors (none of that info in that article looks at all recent, at least a couple months old!).

[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
I dont think it is possible. Ive not seen anything on it anyways using the stock launcher.

The only things i can think of would be to use another launcher since they let you hide the apps. Or if you want to keep using the stock launcher and you have root you can freeze the apps and they will disappear from the app drawer.

Then you can just unfreeze them if you want to use them / get them back in the app drawer.

Hi all!

Well Googled my a.. off but I can't seem to get a straight answer.

So here it goes:

- Will a phone with "bad ESN", which you see often on Ebay, work in Europe?

(assuming it is a world capable phone)

As I understand it, ESN is the only used in the US when the phone is used in Europe it uses a different antenna and makes use of the IMEI code. So in theory it should work, different systems. But I can't seem to find anyone who can confirm this without a shadow of doubt.

And lets not go into the discussion about the ethical or legal side of things, I just want to know if it will be a problem or not?

Cheers,

Martijn
[Droid Pro General] bsweetness:
If we're referring to the Droid Pro or any other global Verizon phone, the bad ESN is only "bad" on Verizon's network. Verizon doesn't share it's ESN information with other carriers around the world, so there would be no way for them to know the phone has a bad ESN on Verizon. People have been able to use Verizon phones with a bad ESN on Page Plus without any issues. Since I've never tried to use a global Verizon device with a bad ESN overseas with a local SIM card I can't say 100% for sure, but logic would cause one to assume that as long as the SIM slot is unlocked (because they come locked to the Verizon/Vodafone SIM card the phones ship with), it should work just fine on other GSM carriers that have supported bands (which is pretty much everyone around the world...except AT&T and T-Mobile in the US).

[Droid Pro General] LeoBloom.:
Does a bad ESN necessarily mean that the phone was stolen? I always assumed that would be the only reason why a phone would have a bad ESN.

Also, If I purchase another phone and want to sell my Droid, does my droid pro have a "clean" ESN?
[Droid Pro General] bsweetness:
Stolen is one possibility. Another possibility is that the person who owned the phone didn't pay their bills, so the ESN of their phone was flagged.

Assuming you don't have anything outstanding on your account, your Droid Pro's ESN will be clean and clear for someone else to activate as soon as you activate a different phone on that line.
[Droid Pro General] mjgerrard:
purchasing advice

Hi all - first post for me!

I'm in a position where I could do with some advice around buying a Droid Pro from the States. I have three options, and I'm struggling to find any definitive threads that allow me to buy with confidence using the first two options:

1) The cheapest (£100) is a bad ESN phone (unlocked).

I have asked the seller what the reason is for the bad ESN (He'll probably lie to me, but at least I have it in writing!) and whether he will accept a return if it won't work with a UK SIM.

The summary is from what I've read on here, it will work fine in the UK but I'm buggered if I ever venture to the USA. Fair enough I suppose.

Anyone got a view on selling the device on to someone like CEX in the future? Is it worth mentioning that it has a bad ESN in the states if I sell to a UK seller? (I think I know the moral answer to this already!)

2) Buy a used/locked Verizon phone (£150ish)and attempt to get it unlocked

I've read quite a few resources and from what I understand, it is pretty difficult to get the device unlocked by using third party vendors (The codes don't work). Is there a way to unlock the phone yourself using a new ROM or root?

3) Buy a new/unlocked phone (£270)

The price jumps massively here but still probably alot cheaper than a new Pro+ will be when it arrives in the next couple of months. Someone is selling a used/unlocked Droid on here from Birmingham, UK but the asking price is wildly optimistic. It just so happens I'm in Birmingham too!

Any views would be most appreciated.
[Droid Pro General] bsweetness:
You shouldn't expect to be able to return a phone with a bad ESN. They're always sold "as is" because of the fact that it has a bad ESN. But yeah, it should work in the UK just fine. There's no reason that it wouldn't. As far as venturing to the USA, even if it didn't have a bad ESN, you still wouldn't be able to use it in the USA. The GSM bands for AT&T and T-Mobile are locked out in the USA, even if you're trying to roam on a foreign SIM. The only way to use a Droid Pro in the USA (short of paying a good chunk of change to Team Black Hat to flash the phone and unlock the GSM bands) is through Verizon, and you'd have to have an account with them to use it.

And I would mention the bad ESN if trying to resell it, if only for the probably very doubtful fact that someone might want to end up trying to activate it on Verizon. But of course, the ESN is only bad for Verizon and no other carrier.

You could also look around and try to find a used, unlocked Pro. I tried to sell my unlocked Pro a month or so ago and couldn't move it here or on any other forum, even at $200 US. Doesn't seem to be much interest these days. But, I'm glad I didn't end up selling it because I didn't care that much for the Droid 3 and was longing for my Droid Pro again.
[Droid Pro General] mjgerrard:
Yup the reason why I asked about returning it was not for the fact that it had a bad ESN, but that the seller explicitly says in the advert that it can be used outside of the USA. It just made (hopefully) for a foolproof plan of activating it in the UK.

I might be going mad, but I have gone over to the USA with a GSM only phone and it worked fine. Frankly, I'm never expecting these things to work when going State-side, but pleasantly suprised when they do. Sorry I can't remember what phone it was that I took over there though...

That's a shame - I'd happily pay $250 (negotiable) if it was in good condition and clean ESN/Unlocked. Let me know if you wish to part with it!

Mike.
[Droid Pro General] mjgerrard:
Any comments from anyone on option 2: Unlocking a Verizon phone using a 3rd party vs rooting the device?
[Droid Pro General] bsweetness:
Generally GSM phones will work in the USA. But with Verizon devices, it's different (or I should say with several Verizon devices). Verizon doesn't have a lot of devices with a GSM radio since they're a CDMA network. The few devices they do have with a GSM radio are marketed as global devices, and the GSM radio is designed to be used outside of the US. Verizon doesn't want people using their devices (that they pay to carry exclusively in the USA) on other networks within the USA. So, they lock out the bands for the two GSM providers in the USA - AT&T and T-Mobile. Unless you go through the costly process of having those bands unlocked (which can't be done with every phone), the phones will generally only work on Verizon in the USA. In order to have it work with Verizon, it would have to be activated on their CDMA network. With a Verizon branded phone, that of course can't happen unless you're a Verizon customer and it certainly can't happen for a phone with a bad ESN.

So yeah, normally unlocked GSM devices will work just fine in the USA, but Verizon devices are a different story...most of the time (there are a few Verizon global devices that work in the USA, but the Droid Pro is not one of them).

As for your question about unlock codes, they have been hit or miss from most online vendors. Most of the reputable vendors will refund the money to you if the code doesn't work, but of course you're still stuck with a locked phone. Most of the posts I've seen recently have reported successful unlocks with the online codes however. I haven't seen anything about unlocking it via root though. That's not to say there isn't a way, but I've never seen anything for that.
[Droid Pro General] mjgerrard:
Brilliant post on the USA networks pal, its difficult to appreciate the differences considering I live in the UK. Thanks for that, alot more of Engadget CDMA news posts make sense now!

As for the other point, I guess ill have to figure out whether I want to take the risk or not. The bad ESN phone on eBay has sold (not a major problem) so ill be trying to get a good price for a used/unlocked model.
[Droid Pro General] btrcp2000:
Considering buying a bad esn phone for a kid to use as a media player. Trying to understand if there are any reasons this would NOT be evil before I do it, and I fully realize that the only way to know for sure is if the seller is willing to reveal the ESN somehow and ask the carrier. If the seller won't reveal, I will assume evilness and move on. SO here are the reasons I understand so far for a bad esn.

1. Stolen/Lost phone that needs to go back to the owner

2. Owner walked away from contract, carrier is out $$ and would presumably like the hardware back

3. unreturned warranty exchange unit (technically stolen too)

come to think of it, seems like there are no legit reasons for a bad esn, but i welcome thoughts anyway
