Yeah, I called LG today and guess what? They don't have a problem, and wouldn't replace my device under warranty. Forget LG, AT&T doesn't have any warrany either so I guesss AT&T is going to give me a Infuse. Oh yeah, check the other forum, I posted and called LG and told them thay they have a GPS problem, and they said maybe we can get a fix if they think they do have a problem.

I recently bought a Desire (A8183) and it came with HBOOT 0.75.0000 and I am trying to get S-OFF on it. I tried using AlphaRev and it came up with an error in step 3. How do I overcome this?

The phone still works fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanito:
1st: Wrong topic, you should post it in Q&A.

2nd: Have you flashed any custom ROM??? If so, thats why you cannot S-OFF it, try any near-to-stock, froyo rooted rom and then try again, this will do the trick;)

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangcla:
Oops, wrong subforum, didn't realise.

Yes I'm running a custom ROM I'll try a Froyo-based ROM and see if that helps.

It's a shame that Revolutionary doesn't support this version of HBOOT, is there any way of 'tricking' Revolutionary to S-OFF the 0.75 HBOOT?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
You can always update bootloader... if you have a goldcard then put the attached file in the root of your sd-card, and then boot into bootloader and wait for it do do it's thing.. when it prompts you select yes. This will update your bootloader to version 0.93.1002

You shouldn't lose any data, but do make a backup of the ROM in recovery in case you get a bootloop.

Then run Revolutionary.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangcla:
I downloaded the file and put it on the root sdcard... Bootloader seemed to just skip over the file though.

Do I need to change the text file in the zip to my CID or anything else? It doesn't like it :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
you need a goldcard, so it ignores the CID.. or actually.. what network are you on?

EDIT: Just noticed lol

Wait I'm downloading a Telstra RUU and I'll give you a new PB99IMG
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
try this. If not, then you can always use the RUU to do a full update, and then S-OFF and flash a custom ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangcla:
Thanks I'll give it a try.

I have four microSD cards at home and I've tried gold carding all of them... I don't know how successful I was cos I couldn't do what I wanted on the Desire HD :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
try the goldcard tutorial I posted.

Okay, well I'm gonna get to sleep now but I'll give you some advice before you go.

If you can't update the bootloader with that, I'd suggest backing up your ROM (if you havent done so already), flashing the RUU to bring it up to the latest bootloader version, and then using revolutionary.

Once you've S-OFF'd with revo. Use android flasher to flash recovery (Note: your backup will not work if you do not flash the same version of recovery) and then do a full wipe and flash a ROM of your choice.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangcla:
Would you happen to know where I can get the original Telstra RUU from? I think that might be my best bet. :(

Thanks for your help!

Thanks - this looks like it worked :) now HBOOT 0.93.0001, running revolutionary now.

Is there any benefit in upgrading HBOOT at all? What does 1.02.0001 offer?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Hboot 1.xxxx is the stock hboot for gingerbread. So it offers you nothing. By flashing a hboot like cm7 (most roms fit in this hboot), you get much more space for installing apps, because its /data partition is much bigger.

Here we go with yet another unlock solution.

This one applies to almost (if not all) devices which are radio S-off, it’s fairly easy to use and doesn’t wipe data/settings nor have that ugly side effect (when using diag files) in which you lose conectivity to mobile network.

Supported devices so far:

(by the use of revolutionary)

and:

(by the use of unrevoked 3 – not tested)

These are the required steps you have to take:

1. S-off your phone by using Revolutionary (if you haven’t already done that).

2. Fill in the form with the required data. This will generate an unique Config.dat file for your device. Please enter a valid email address, as you’ll be sent there the link to download the file.

This step you'll have to take here

3. Put the file on the root of your sdcard and reboot your phone into HBOOT (adb reboot oem-42). Once you’re there, navigate to Simlock and press Power. The phone will load the file and remove the simlock. Some text will appear on the screen and at a certain point you’ll be asked to press Vol-Up to restart the phone.

4. Just do it, and you’ll be done!

PLEASE NOTE!:

This solution is heavily linked to the device it's being applied to by the use of IMEI, which can be considered a breach in security.

DISCLAIMER:

This solution provided for you on this site is given AS IS and in GOOD FAITH and is based on the research I made. I may not accept any liability or responsibility for the use of this applicaton.

If you find this tool useful and appreciate my work, Paypal me a beer, it helps development a lot.. ;)

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Climbguy:
if you just need a SIM unlock, call T-Mobile and they will give you an unlock code. there is no need to fuss around with complex steps.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] michaelmab88:
Not for certain circumstances.. T-Mobile will only give it you you if you meet some criteria.. i.e. you're account has been active for 6 months.. I don't know what the actual criteria are.. that was just an example...

not to mention that you have to wait over 24hours to get the email with the unlock code.. this method was a lot faster than a half hour phone call with a t-mobile rep.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Climbguy:
I was a customer for about 6 days and was given the code over the phone.

Silly question but, this method will not work on a mytouch 3g slide right? I mean can revolutionary sim unlock a mt3g?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Rev is used to gain s off that's all. Which allows unsigned flashing

As for the unlock methods you may want to test this out my sig has this method and one using terminal emulator method no idea if they will work.

my touch 4g Slide NO CALLS with S-off sim unlocked METROpCS

So its 2014.. I know I should get a better phone.. Good news its I got my my touch 4g slide bootloader unlocked and S-off. Also did the sim unlock on the site that emails you back the file and unlocks the sim.. BUT here is my problem

when I put my metro sim in the phone.. no matter which rom I load (which I can now load rom recovery from sd) the phone wont work..

When I go into the settings metropcs and att show up but when I try and select it, it tells me not allowed right now, or sim card doesn't allow that connection. So I cannot get it to work. Is there a way they are locking sim cards to their phones?

I would have thought getting S-off and running the simlock file I'd be good to go.. Anyone PLZ help I am desparate to figure out what is wrong here.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Simbalage22:
Picture Of S-off UNLOCKED bootloader NO SVC

Here is a picture of the phone.. Likewise no SVC with metro sim.. I don't have a tmobile card to test with but I think either the sim lock didn't work, or metropcs is somehow locking the sim to IMEI

Anyone with ideas here plz help. If it is IMEI to sim is there a way to unlock sim or change iMEI? I know its illegal to change an ESN but imei..

Also if its blacklisted would it be blacklisted for metro too?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
So I thought of a couple things. With a little research, one got shot down right off the bat:

http://www.phonescoop.com/carriers/carrier.php?c=11

http://www.gsmarena.com/t_mobile_mytouch_4g_slide-4018.php

Some carriers use weird frequency bands that the phone wouldn't support. MetroPCS uses 1700 or 1900MHz (depending where you are), which the phone totally covers. So not that.

Related to that though, is the APN settings. If you have more than one (my Rogers setup has 4), it may be stuck on an APN that just isn't working for you. So Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.

Finally (just thought of it), you may want to test your MetroPCS SIM card on a different (smart)phone. I had recent problems with my SIM (I guess it was swapped out too many times, besides being 6-7 years old), although it worked fine on a feature phone. And if you can get your hands on a different SIM (T-Mobile or otherwise), and encounter the same problem, it could very well be a (hard-to-resolve) problem with the phone. If it is blacklisted, it would be blacklisted nationally if not internationally, and there is an IMEI database to check it against:

http://www.imei.info/

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Check your imei for blacklist status on the tmo website. MetroPCS is now wholly owned by TMo, it shouldn't need to be unlocked. AT&T and Tmo share blacklist data as well. If your phone is sketchy you are out of luck.

If the SIM is old you might try a new one and see if that helps.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

MetroPCS marries SIM to IMEI

ok So my cousin has a metro. Tried her sim,same results. So I said hmmm. Stuck her metro sim in my metrophone and vice versa. Same result.. So I I am thinking witgh 4g unlimited they are locking the sims. Called and wa told they marry the sim to the imeI. LOOKS like the days of swapping sims to different phones are over. Anyone know a way around this PLZ let me know. ALSO tethering would be cool but i'll google that.. comes as an FYI
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
I was looking into this, and this forum thread came up:

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...-married-to-ESN-of-one-phone-only-that-sucks!

Looks like you can transfer phones by letting MetroPCS know of the new IMEI, but you cannot register two (or more) IMEI's for the same SIM. So depends on how you want to use your Doubleshot. I'd give them a call (or better yet, go into their store), maybe the old IMEI will still work (the thread was a bit iffy on this result) with the new (Doubleshot) one entered.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Simbalage22:
Thanks

Wow! so that's a bummer. I really like the doubleshots keyboard but I think the exhibit from them is better. Although I tried several firmwares on it and Netflix will no longer work with custom roms (thank DRM for that) I did get hella mods to this one, but would love to have both, I was thinking the sim was somehow locked. I have a sim reader any software to check? copy clone??? new to GSM, but know lots about CDMA.. I wish it were easy to just clone IMEI like ESNS :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mwangen:
My Galaxy Limited Edition from I/O has developed a nasty display problem. I'm pretty sure this is a hardware defect and it needs to go to Samsung for support, but I thought I'd check here first to see if anybody else has run into this issue. For about 2 weeks now the display becomes for lack of a better term 'fuzzy'. The phenomenon gets worse from left to right. It's almost like the pixels are moving on the screen making everything fuzzy. Sometimes it gets so bad that any text can't be read anynore on the right side of the screen. I have attached some screen shots.

I have played with all the brightness controls etc, turned auto control on and of, rebooted a thousand times, let the battery run empty, used it on a full charge all make no difference whatsoever. The wierd thing is that this problem is intermittened. Some day I pick it up and the display will be fine for a few minutes then it's hosed again

Does anyone know what the process is to send these IO tablets to Samsung? Am I going to get the same one back or will they send me a refurb production unit? I'd like to keep mine since it has the cool back, but it's pretty useless in it's current condition. Is there a special contact for IO tablet support?

I should mention that the device is bone stock. No custom rom, not rooted etc. It is running 3.1, I haven't upgraded to the latest official 3.2 yet cause I actually like Pulse.

Thanks,

-Marc
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mwangen:
Anybody? Am I the only one who's tablet has suffered this fate?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stinky73:
Definitely looks like hardware fault, graphics chipset, a loose cable, screen matrix, take your pick :( fact that it is intermittent and works after start then goes awry points to heating fault

Have two IO tabs myself since day one and know that during the initial rush of everybody playing, programming, wiping, semi-bricking etc the response of Samsung is that you must be in USA for guarantee cover to operate... however, that was before other service centres had any access to tab files and firmware.... best you can do is ring sammy and ask if they can repair and whether or not you can retain the le back panel... true it is cool and limited edition ;)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xTONEx:
I just returned my i/o cause the screen was lifting up. They actually said the back was faulty too and replaced it... With another io back. They were real willing to fix it for me and im sure thry will do the same for u. They do have a special number for these tabs vs tbe retail ones but if u call the normal number u will just get forwarded to the right people once u tell them which tab u have. I def got the same tab back they did not give me a refurb or a retail!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hooplad:
Had the very same problem OP had with their IO tablet as well. What I ended up doing was calling down to Samsung and talking to one of the reps there who was kind enough to warranty the tab.

1-800-726-7864

Navigate the options and you'll end up talking to someone. I think the magic words to use are "Google IO" and "display problems".
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] makbil:
I also started getting bleeding colors on my tab. I can't have the tablet repaired here so I had no choice but to see what I could do on my own. It turned out to be the flex cable between the lcd screen and the motherboard. The sad thing is that the cable is attached to the screen, so I need a new lcd screen for my tab.

Unfortunately it's just as difficult to obtain an lcd for our P7100, they either don't have it or it's out of stock.

If anyone has info on parts compatibility between 10.1" tablets or knows of some place that sells the lcd screen for our "v", please let me know.

In the meantime I got a P7500 from my operator on contract but I like P7100 more and would like to have it working again.

I noticed something a little odd the other day. Since flashing CM& I had to re-install the Bell Self Serve app. I have done a bunch of downloads and for some reason, my unbilled data usage is only 6.8mb. I am sure I am using more than that. Its almost like is only registering what I use while in browser, not app or file downloads. Does the 500mb data plan I have only cover browser usage and the rest is unlimited ??
[Atrix 4G General] marko!:
What plan do you have?

I have noticed the same thing. Download a 300mb file and at the end of the month its a 10mb on my bill. (along with self serve and tcare)

I'm on last year's student special plan.
[Atrix 4G General] Zero-K:
Be happy your self serve app works. Mine keeps saying it's not compatible with my account.

You can always send a text to 82273, and use the mobile menu system to check your data.

Or login to bell.ca, link your account to your bill, and then you can check your unbilled usage and compare the two.

Note: Bell now has a 55 Plan (fab 10 instead of fab 5, 200 minutes I believe, unlimited texting, and 1GB data for $55). Well worth the $5 difference compared to their 50M plan they had (fab 5, 200 minutes I believe, and 500MB data) I upgraded to it and it just took affect on next billing cycle.

[Atrix 4G General] kd56:
I've noticed the same sort of thing. I recently switched from a 1GB plan to a 6GB plan. I was going slightly over my 1GB plan before but since I changed my plan to 6GB I've noticed on my self serve it's showing far less than I am using and because I have switched to 6GB I have been using a lot more than I would have previously. I am using the onavo data tracking app which told me I used 6GB total for last month yet my bill says I have only used 171mb total. This is with me tethering my phone to my laptop and using it for facebook, msn, research for school, youtube videos, several full length episodes of tv shows, downloaded a few small programs and so on. I am tempted to go by what selfserve says that I am using vs what I know I am using and onavo says I am using but I am afraid of getting a huge bill at the end of the month. Anyone know what might be going on?
[Atrix 4G General] Cryingmoose:
Same here, Bell says I used 30 megs of my 500 meg plan, whereas ZDbox or other apps have me well over 500 for my bill date *shrug*

[Atrix 4G General] mumbhai55:
As far as I know, if download an App or do anything, has been counted towards my 1GB bandwidth, cause within a week or so I see that I have already used up about 200MB.

BTW is there an app, which shows which app is using how much data from my connection.
[Atrix 4G General] kd56:
I use ONAVO. It's really good and gives you 3 widgets. One is app watch which will tell you how much data each application has been using. Then it gives you a widget that shows your total data usage for your billing period and then there is live data usage which tells you how much data each app has been using in the last several minutes. It also offers a feature to disable your data once you have reached a certain limit to prevent you from getting charged for going over your data limit.
