[Motorola Droid Bionic] zhill29:
Yeah I generally have good luck calling Verizon CS. I broke my Incredible by throwing it on my driveway to prove to my buddy that it wouldn't break. Well it cracked the screen.

So I had a decision to make. 20 bucks for a new screen from ebay. Or 300 for a new Bionic. I chose the Bionic. Called Verizon 20 minutes later, told the rep EXACTLY what happened... And how much I had been drinking. And he told me he would wave the early upgrade fee for me considering my situation. Just wish Verizon would allow in store pickup. I have 2 Verizon corporate stores within a mile of my house. Could have had it Saturday but now I have to wait till tomorrow, possibly Wednesday!

And yes I know throwing my Incredible on the cement was a stupid idea. But I had a lot of Jagermeister in me!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] squeeze:
I really wanted this phone but didn't have an upgrade and didn't want to open a new line.

Nice VZW store guy allowed me to open a "new line" with the Bionic and then transferred the phone to my "old line" account. He put in an IMEI or something for an old phone so I didn't require data. It was a family share plan.

I called VZW 2 days later and said I didn't need the second line. The lady on the phone said I can sell my "old feature phone" on ebay...

Took a little work and activation fee cost, but nice little workaround.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SigmunDroid:
I don't think you are picking up what I'm putting down and due to the fact that I specifically mentioned corporate (whether online or over the phone) I'm not really sure why you made a statement (about Joe Bob's cellular) when clearly a retail corporate Verizon store would NOT accept both:

(1) a factory new, and unopened HTC Thunderbolt (purchased over the phone via *611)

And

(2) a Droid Bionic Extended battery (unopened and purchased online)

Which...is why I previously posted that no where is it mentioned that Verizon cannot accept returns from different locations despite buying a product from another Corporate Verizon entity...but the corporate retail brick and mortar stores are running their own ship...

Are we on the same page (hopefully) ?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cstrife999:
Yea that's what I did too. Cool ****.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
I did this same thing, but I didn't know you could cancel the 2nd line. I will be doing this tonight. Anybody want an LG Voyager? ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Killz86:
thats awesome for everyone who got to do it. hope more can do the add the 2nd line to get new phones and enjoy them :D

just a update i called the district manager left a voice mail and waiting to hear back, am not done with this store.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chipo58:
I think its great that the manager is being held responsible. I've had my share of problems with big red in the lady decade or so.

I do have one problem with OP tho. Verizon reinstated a new two year contract without your permission??? Sorry big red but I don't want to be shackled to you without my consent. If that is the standard I guess they can tier my data and change my minute allowance to suit their whims. I've always felt vz was a little to heavy handed for my taste but I love the network. I like my bionic but its a low price for unsolicited bondage.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greenstuffs:
Yeah i had patience, i took my phone in to get a 4G sim card and the verizon rep had the nerve to ad the stupid insurance to my account. It took me two billing cycles to clear the charges. I hope he gets fired for pulling such a cheap shot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Killz86:
the Manager did it, and she tried to cover it up and lied to the district manager saying that she talked to her saying that they will change it back, pretty much covering up the whole deal, and i was not letting that fly. so i am not going to give up until she is fired, i will go as far as going on the news and tell my story on the news, that will give that store bad Press. and i am in all right to. i am not out of line. i drove over 200 miles in 3 days

because the way i look at it, what if she does it again or someone else in that store does it again to someone else and they dont know or know as much information about contracts as me, and how to handle it. so i am doing it for others more or less then myself. because i dont wanna see someone else go thru what i went thru, it was a nightmare.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Killz86:
I will say this. if you are in Ohio or with in 30-45 minute drive of the Toledo Area

Go to the this

Verizon Store

5380 monroe St.

Toledo, OH 43623

there is a Sr Retail Sales Rep, Manager i know, very helpful

Ask for Matt Ross Tell Him Brian Bodi Sent you, and he will take of you. he helped me out alot thru this whole mess with the other verizon store.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BFirebird101:
My Verizon experience went quite well. He asked me if I was into the whole "rooting" thing, and I told him no...I lied :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Killz86:
we'll am glad it went well and he helped you out, and your happy. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] yutzyscott:
I hear you can throw the bionic on the cement and it wont break. Try it and let me know. I bet you $1.00 it breaks.

I called Verizon yesterday to complain once again about the data connectivity problem. I told the rep that because it was a problem that Verizon knew about before releasing the phone but failed to mention to me before i purchased the phone, that its only fair that they compensate me in some way for ripping me off. Now if I was home all the time this wouldn't be a problem but, I travel a lot and my connectivity cuts out all the time so it a huge deal to me. The Verizon rep was great and after I presented him all the facts based on the research I did I was able to move on and address the next issue after Verizon paid my $91.00 bill for the month. So I was compensated with a free month of service. The next issue I had to discuss was the fact that this phone was advertised to have an unlockable bootloader and we have yet to be given instructions on how to do so. Verizon rep not only gave me motorolas number but he got Motorola on the phone in three way conversation to help me get to the bottom of it. Basically I found out moto will never willingly release the instructions on how to do it. So, I said to the moto guy that I guess its up to us to crack it ourselves. He said that when I say crack it that it implies im doing something illegal. I told him that I purchased this device, its mine and I can do what I want with it including but, not limited to cracking the boot loader. I said I can run it over with my truck, strap it to a rocket and shoot it into space, add feet and eyes and make it a mr. Potato phone, put a pink hat on it and have a tea party. I said it Mine so none of that is illegal. He didn't have much to say after that except that he knows how to unlock the bootloader but, he's not telling. I mean, how childish is that. But, I digress. The Verizon rep was very helpful and did not brush me off or feed me misinformation.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Killz86:
Am glad Verizon Customer Service was great to you and you got your bill wiped off for a month.

now to moto thats pretty sad moto guy would not give it over to you. i bet if someone would call all day for the next few days they might give it up or you would get lucky and get someone who is nice and give it up.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] denpad2010:
I admire you i was in jail now lol and i agree something verizon surprise you...i am on verizon sonce july 2010 well when the thunderbolt came out i think was in march i didnt even have a year and i called customer service for info about the tbolt and retail price well i didnt qualify for upgrade and when i told my frustration about the expensive the fulk price is the operator asked me to wait then she told me her supervisor authorized early uograde in my 3 lines damn!!!!! So i got 3 smartphone the tbolt,iphone 4, and charge of course not the same day note the diference in release date sorry just wanted share......and sorry for my grammma well im not American bye...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Killz86:
thats great, it just goes to show, because with me posting this, everyone is posting there good side of verizon, everyone always post there bad about verizon. you dont see alot of good about the customer service, but i give them 12 out of 10 in my book.

i though of posting my story around on other sites to show people you can get things done when you push on and push forward and keep your cool and show them you wont backdown.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
I had a great experience as well. I'm new to Verizon Wireless, joined up in April. I even paid cancellation fees with AT&T because I wanted to get in while they still offerred unlimited LTE. I really wanted the Charge but settled for the Thunderbolt. While I'm sure I wouldn't have been happy with the charge either I was especially unhappy with the Thunderbolt. I like HTC for the most part but there were too many things driving me crazy about the TB. I've called Verizon many times expressing my disappointment and even got a replacement device to see if that would remedy my issues. It didn't.

Finally, Gingerbread was released this week which nuked voicemail notifications (which the awesome BAMF devs eventually fixed). Fed up I called again and spoke to an excellent supervisor. He empathized with my situation and I could tell he wasn't a fan of the TB either. He offered me the Bionic at the upgrade price which is great considering I wasn't eligible for another 15 months. This was superior customer service. I also have Verizon Fios at home (TV, Phone & Internet). My experiences with them have been great for the most part, leaps and bounds above AT&T. I'm sticking with these guys for the long haul. I understand some have horror stories but luckily, I don't.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Killz86:
yup me to, i am staying with verizon for a long time to, because i got unlimited 4g lte and i love it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] denpad2010:
Yesterday they did it again I just call to activate my wife sim card, I gave her my old tbolt well she has the old 15$ data plan with 150 mb is almost enoght for her since she use widow most of the time but is frustrating see her every month taking care if usage to don't over pass the 150mb anyway the guy told me I should upgrade to a different data plan bla bla bla. Well I don't want it cause anyway is only 2gb and for her is enough but anyway he told me that he can give me the unlimited data for 29.99 ohhhhh well that's different story so I got it now my wife don't take care about usage no more lol just want to share
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Killz86:
we'll that great, verizon does it again!

Hi all,

i'm looking for htc sense 3.0 lockscreen with the weather animations for sense 2.1,is it possible ?

thank you ;)

for lockscreen you can use agile lock from market.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scary Guy:
So I wanted to try loading this ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1206767

It said to use the new ext4 file system rom I had to flash the update (rather than just use the internal app update option) which I did using moto-fastboot. Then I tried to reboot the phone into recovery and it just freezes on the load screen. The old CWM boot method was almost instant and I've waited for about a minute (I'm not that impatient.)

Tried to boot into android recovery through the boot menu (just to see what it did, I try not to screw with things I don't know about.) It said "magic mode mismatch" so could that have anything to do with anything?

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamastang:
Use RomRacers latest CWM and reflash Beta.zip...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubuphonik:
i try it too but it dont pass the motorola boot do u think is because cwm?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamastang:
Yes.. it is most likely because of the CWM you are using...

Go HERE and download the latest ROMRacer CWM

Boot into fastboot

moto-fastboot devices

moto-fastboot erase recovery

moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix4.1.img

moto-fastboot reboot

Reboot into recovery on reboot and re-flash your Beta.zip for CM7 using RomRacer's CWM and the steps in the CM7 thread. And enjoy CM7... Hope this helps
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scary Guy:
Still freezes :/

Also I'm not using CM7, I'm using the ROM from the thread I posted, not that it should matter since I can't even get into CWM to load the ROM to begin with. It just freezes at the start screen. Then I have to remove the battery to get it to reboot back into the phone.

[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
If you see a date above imei number, this means sim unlock code not available. The "second method" refers to an alternative for Sensation users only, doesn't work on DS unfortunately.

Unfortunately i see only date. :(any progress? Or new ideas?thanks for trying!
[HTC Desire S] jneapan:
I see only a date too :( . Is there any other way to do this? Vodafone is charging 50 euros for unlocking, which I find unacceptable.
[HTC Desire S] jneapan:
Anyone find anything useful on this topic? Is there any way to replicate the method 2 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1232107 on our device? Perhaps with a PG88DIAG.nbh file?
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
As Vodafone probably sold the phone (locked) for a very low price, I don't see that as unacceptable, maybe you can't afford it, but that doesn't mean Vodafone is doing anything "wrong".
[HTC Desire S] jneapan:
The phone was, in fact, bought at a reasonably lower cost due to it being part of a deal for a new subscription, and I'm not saying that they shouldn't charge money for unlocking it, because it's well within their rights to do so. It seems to me, though, that this fee is much higher than what is regularly charged for this service (from what I read on these forums / asked other people).

Whatever the cost, though, being able to do it for free is better than having to pay for it :P . That's the reason why I asked about the method 2 from the Sensation forum. It seems to me that we would only need the .nbh file appropiate for our device (a PG88DIAG.nbh instead of PG58DIAG.nbh), but I don't know where anyone would obtain such a file, In any case, it's something worth researching. I only wish I were more experienced with this sort of hacking / exploiting, perhaps someone more capable than me can look into it.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
There was a thread with some technical document about our DS here. The source was a Chech website for mobile phone diagnostic and repair. I think there was a Diag file among the other downloads. You can search for it

EDIT: I have typed PG88DIAG.nbh in Google and got pretty much hits

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] jneapan:
I wonder if it's the right file or if the people on the Sensation forum modified it somehow to suit their needs. I tried using one of the PG88DIAG.nbh files I found here on XDA, but after following the exact instructions from the Sensation thread, my phone got stuck on "Error writing CID" (or something). It could have been because of the HBOOT (I was using the 0.98.2000 ENG HBOOT) and I could try it again on revolutionary's S-OFF HBOOT, the thread mentioned it needs radio S-OFF, i'm not sure if it has that.
[HTC Desire S] jneapan:
I found another solution to this, and a Desire S owner in the threaed claims that it worked for him (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1681145).

However, in my case it didn't work, My guess is because of the way Vodafone locks their handsets, which seems to be different than the way HTC locks them. Oh well, back to the Internet for more solutions. I hope this one helps some of you.
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
na didnt work for me either and im t-mobile :(
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Desire S doesn't have radio S-OFF.

The most convenient way to achieve full (radio) S-OFF and SIM unlock on Desire S would be to build a Froyo kernel that will run on it and allow executing ADB daemon. It doesn't need to boot Android, just to run. But it's something that a good kernel developer is required for.

Given such kernel, Desire S owners could use gfree.

But you need a whitecard or at least a whitecard emulator like the XTC Clip to do those things ;)

And oh, if you are from germany, I could help you for free as I own a XTC Clip.

If you need those files from the polish website, just ask me, I've downloaded the SAGA section and could upload it if neccesary :)
[HTC Desire S] jneapan:
Unfortunately I'm no where near Germany right now, and I doubt I'll find a helpful XTC Clip owner in Romania, so I decided I'll just give the money to Vodafone and get it over with. I want to gift this phone for Christmas to someone who's on Orange, so I'll just go ahead and pay up. Thanks for the offer though :)
[HTC Desire S] Jann F:
Well for 50€ you could also buy an XTC clip and you could unlock nearly every HTC device then ;)

They are sending it via FedEx express btw :)
[HTC Desire S] jneapan:
I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the info :)
[HTC Desire S] TheFixItMan:
Tried both methods that are in this thread - neither of them worked unfortunately

The first just gave a date the config.dat file loaded ok but gave a slightly different output & didn't unlock sim

Hopefully someone can develop a way of sim unlocking the desire s without cost

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] K3nDroid:
The reason for this is your not doing the "wipe data/facory reset" which will keep all your apps etc.

you should always wipe data/factory reset when switching between roms.

If your going from cm7 nightlie 80 to cm7 nightlie 81 then no you wouldnt need to do this.

I wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition (well i personally wipe them twice) when flashing roms.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ghostv7142:
hmm ok will try later on tonight ! thanks for the replies ! just to get it straight factory data reset then wipe data dalvik and cache ? and then switch rom ?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knucklesmckay:
First make a backup of your current setup through Rom manager or Clockwork Recovery. Then wipe data, wipe cache, then wipe dalvick cached. Then install rom from sdcard and find file.

I check the md5sum of Roms on my computer also, to make sure they downloaded in their entirety and aren't corrupted. There is a md5 checker for pc on cnet and you can do it through terminal on Mac.

Please see OX's thread for more info.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] K3nDroid:
once you have the ROM on your sd card (should check it when you have it on the sd card) you can use AFV to check the md5sum from your phone.
