[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khabri:
Thanks for reply. I am looking to try out CM7 rom and you pointed out some different ROM. is it fine that I use only radio and spl links that I mentioned ?

I have recovery from CM6 install already then still do I need to update recovery.

AndiSa has below links available. can I use them instead ?

Radio: 2.22.28.25

SPL: 1.33.0013d
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluedragon1982:
I dont know why its droped :/ the MT3G is still inside the supported devices list.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doki_93:
There are two ways to flash the new SPL / Radio - Combo

1. you mentioned the way to flash it via recovery

2. the other way is to flash it via fastboot ( recommended way )

the link in AndiSa's signature is the same as the link i have posted in my first post. you can use it.

spl and radio

Hi,

I have CM6 compatible spl and radio installed. If I upgrade spl and radio since I was to try out unofficial CM7 on htc g1 and then have to say back out using nandroid backup (of current working CM6) will it undo spl and radio upgrades too ?

Regards,

Miten.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doki_93:
no, it won't undo SPL/Radio upgrades
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khabri:
installed CM7 successfully

Hi,

I installed CM7 fine with below steps:

1) download fastboot for linux downloaded via internet search.

2) store on linux android sdk platform-tools where adb resides.

3) reboot into bootloader the android phone and it shows FASTBOOT

4) connect phone to linux

5) fastboot devices

shows phone

6) fastboot flash radio <path to radio downloaded for CM7 on usb)

7) fastboot flash hboot <path to hboot/spl downloaded for CM7 on usb)

8) fastboot erase system

9) powerdown phone

10) power up phone into recovery using home+power

11) flash from sdcard rom, kernel, gapps

12) reboot

may be I will add more details to above steps later.

Hi,

is anybody was flashed Droid Charge to Boost Mobile, MetroPCS or other CDMA Networks?

Because i cant connect it to QPST for flash PRL and other settings for my network (Intertelecom, Ukraine).
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
We discovered early on that QPST just doesn't want to work with this phone. Plus, why did you get a LTE phone when you're just going to use CDMA?

Sent from my Droid Charge running Infinity Beta
[Verizon Droid Charge] licbez:
Sellers on ebay that sell Droid Charge with BAD ESN all write that the phone can be connected to MetroPCS, cricket or other, but when i buy Droid I'm not convinced of that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] licbez:
does it mean what all CDMA carrier settings are on LTE sim card?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I'm not entirely sure to what extent the SIM is used. I know when I got my replacement Charge, all that was involved in activating it was putting my SIM in.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
In a way yes, we figured out that LTE and CDMA are both 'controlled' or at least filtered through the sim so its not possible to connect it to QPST or flash to another carrier

Instal Samsung Drivers from Here

After Turning on USB debugging drivers will get installed Automatically

& it will Create two diag Ports

Samsung Android USB Diagnostic Serial Port (DM) (COM X)

Samsung Android USB Diagnostic Serial Port (WMC) (COM X)

Got the Port, But the problem is CDMA WS is not able to Connect

Also on QPST when we add those ports it shows no Phone

When we Dial **USB UI

Under USB it Shows

CDMA Modem

PDA

LTE Modem

When we Select any on these Modems Drivers gets Installed but it gets Stucked with Driver Named INFT2

I think if we can Solve this Drivers Issue it will be easier to go ahead,

I anybody have gone close please share
[Verizon Droid Charge] ndhonk:
I'm interested on getting this phone but would like to make sure it can be flash to my country cdma carrier also.

I have done flashing Galaxy Tab Sprint and Nexus S 4G, both are Samsung so I guess it would be easy with the Samsung Charge ?

Can you take screen shoot of the Phoneutil screen ? On the 2 previous Samsung devices it shows : (sorry I can't post link photo says the admin :D )

[Verizon Droid Charge] robbiejobs:
Hi,

Noob trying to answer here :)

Since Droid Charge uses VIA Telecom Chipset, so it won't work with QPST which is made by Qualcomm. But i found interesting video from youtube, I just have no idea what software is that? Anyone have a clue?

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqnMbAfNm6Q[/YOUTUBE]
[Verizon Droid Charge] robbiejobs:
Just found something interesting!

I've been able to update prl using VPCT ( similar to QPST but for VIA Chipset ) and also ETSMain ( similar to QXDM ) but there's a lot of weird menus :confused:

For now, I am trying to disable SIM control.. my goal is to completely disable SIM Card control so I can use this phone just like a regular CDMA phone.

Sorry, I can't post the link here..but you can find VPCT and ETSMain on 4shared.com

FYI : I live in Indonesia which is no 4G LTE network here
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Menus are probably related to 4G. Phone is likely flashable to a different CDMA network, but obviously would have no 4G connectivity. I wonder if it would be possible to get to a different LTE carrier too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ciscoii:
Could you please kindly share how to link the phone via VPCT ? Is there any config should be done at phone site ?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ciscoii:
I still can't link phone using VPCT...:mad:
[Verizon Droid Charge] georgiadiy:
Is there any news about connecting the Charge to VPCT?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ciscoii:
Sorry no. it doesn't work...
[Verizon Droid Charge] robbiejobs:
This is what I do to get connected with VPST :

Remove SIM Card, turn on the phone.

Connect the phone to PC, Install VIA Telecom USB Driver.

Dial **USBUI, choose USB > CDMA Modem

While the phone still connected to PC, Dial **DEBUG and then go to ETS Channel. If it's already on USB, change it to DPRAM and then back to USB.

Open VPST Dragon, not VPCT. Update PRL, Restart Phone, Done.

Dial **583, choose Enable CDMA Mode. Phone ask to restart, but you don't have to. And the signal should comes up now

Stuck there, PRL updated, Signal shown (no more roaming indicator) but still cannot make a test call ( *22809 should connect to my local carrier activation, but the call just ended immediately.)

You can find VPST Dragon on 4shared.com, good luck :)

Here's the proof :

P.S :

Ignore the 3G Icon, I just change the WiFi icons in SystemUI.apk :p

VPST couldn't read some PRL, just try another version of your carrier PRL.

Wrong PRL file will gives you "USB Loopback test : failed"

This PRL works for me : http://www.mediafire.com/?260oum76c48342n ( for smartfren Indonesia )
[Verizon Droid Charge] sheep111:
While using VPST write PRL , it shows "USB : LOOP BACK TEST ERROR " ........
[Verizon Droid Charge] robbiejobs:
Try the PRL on my previous post, if it's work then you should try another PRL from your carrier, is it's not then there's still a problem with usb connection :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] capunkjd:
hello kang mas bro, wanna ask. on your device manager is there still INTF2 or not?

i've been tru that so when my charge plug in, my pc did not seen any INTF2 anymore.

on your clue up there why dont use cdma only (PRL) try dial *#4636*1111# then choose it cdma only (PRL)
[Verizon Droid Charge] robbiejobs:
INTF2 driver is included in VIA Telecom USB Driver, and change it to CDMA Auto (PRL) doesn't help either it will just remove the NO SIM,or SIM Error Message...still no phone call :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] imagecolour:
WOW , this is very good , thanks to you all who are working on it, can you please let me know the link to INTF2 driver or can you send a link for VIA Telecom USB Driver.

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

I feel the activation part is in The SIM, the phone is given a activation pulse from the sim when the phone starts. So by removing the sim i dont think it makes sense. insted we have to try and hack the sim and load the phone number and min from the sim.Or we should try to replace the number and min on the sim with our desired number and min.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
The SIM is part of the activation. Anyone who has ever gotten a warranty replacement has seen the activation process of the new phone is just putting your existing SIM into the new handset and turning it on.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imagecolour:
I feel robbiejobs and others who are working on this have to make out a way to deal with the SIM rather than the other way around.If SIM lock can be broken i feel things will start working for other networks on droid charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] robbiejobs:
The activation process in my country is a little bit different with the U.S (or maybe other country). All we have to do here is go to the Cellular Provider office, tell them our MEID or ESN and then ask for MDN,MIN and A-KEY. Next process is DIY, manually program your phone using QPST or CDMAWS. OTA activation is not yet available in my country ( limited to iPhone and some android phones at this time ) Unfortunately Droid Charge is using VIA Chipset, which is need a different software to program the phone. So far, I have found VPCT,VPST,and ETSMain which is made for VIA Telecom phones... too bad, its all old version and it's not fully compatible with newer VIA Phones.

For those who needed the driver, I found this driver from somewhere on the internet :

http://www.mydroidfiles.com/downloads/TBH/SamsungFlashingUtility.7z

*credits to original uploader

My goal is still... to disable that control freak SIM Card :mad: another 4G-LTE Phone who uses Qualcomm chipset is already able to flashed to another carrier, because it's quite easy to disable SIM Card via QPST,DFS, and another CDMA tools.

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

I tried to change MIN and AKEY straight to the SIM Card, but it won't write.. DFS just give some CPS_ERROR ( I forgot the exact error message ).

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

What's Next ? :(

Help anyone ?​
[Verizon Droid Charge] imagecolour:
WOW robbiejobs you are doing a great job, in fact the process in India is also almost the same for activation,We go to the service provider and get the MEID registered to their respective network and we later add the phone number to the network by either dialing *228 or the company outlet patches our number to the registered MEID .We just have to just enter MIN number and phone number on the phone . The phone starts working.

I tried to do the same what you have done through ETS but same error.

I feel when the phone starts it actually takes commands to initialize from the SIM. Switch on the phone with the SIM and when the phone is on just remove the SIM but there is no difference in the signal or it does not say that the sim is removed.I assume the sim is used to activate the phone on every start and just for 4G data, rest is all managed in the phone itself.

I noticed when you enter **debug you have a column called HDR/1X Selection, try to enter CDMA or EVDO instead of EHRPD

Here there are 2 options

1. we have to make a sim card which is like cloning the original sim card and later infuse our number and MIN and PRL.

2. We have to find a way to disable the SIM card control over the phone.

It is very much posible but we are not having the proper tools, hope someone helps us fast and soon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] robbiejobs:
@imagecolour

YES! This is possible, let's hope someone from Samsung or VIA Telecom leak the internal software for us..LOL
[Verizon Droid Charge] imagecolour:
I got few of these settings from another forum hope it helps

To enable Hidden menu, do the following:

Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key

Go back into the phone dialer and enter *#22745927

Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000

Press the Hidden menu Enable radio button.

Audio Tuning

*#28346#

Full Bat Popup

*#3844228#

This allows you to disable the full battery pop-up.

HwCodec

*#0002*28346#

Audio path volume controls. Most importantly, it looks like there's a side tone adjustment.

Shutdown

*#7594#

This enables you to shut your phone off by long-pressing the power/lock key.

The most IMPORTANT:

Diag/Testing Mode

*#4636*1111#

Hope it helps and gives some light

Hi guys , i have tried to contact a person who says he can send me a Motherboard which fits and works for a Droid Charge and it will be unlocked and works with all networks, but he is charging me 65 U.S dollars inclusive of shipping which i feel is more.I will try to ask for discount and update.

He says it is GSM with SIM slot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chien35:
Don't waste your money bro...

As you know no one said it is working on GSM network, I'm very sure there is no GSM technology inside Droid Charge. Maybe just other phone looks like Droid Charge with GSM network or maybe a replica.

Nowaday there are many replica phone from China with the same form, type and name that you can't even notice the difference when you hold it, but after check more deeply you'll find the answered.

Just info, US Cellular also sold Droid Charge as Samsung Galaxy S Aviator, let's hope the lock more easier to break and can be flash vice versa.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imagecolour:
Thanks a lot for the warning.I am trying to verifying him.he claims that the motherboard belongs to a different Samsung model but it fits and works on droid charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] robbiejobs:
Agreed! Droid Charge doesn't have hidden GSM radio like the HTC Rezound, save your money and keep praying that someone will leak the VIA Programming Tools :p

Speaking of Aviator, I have download the User Manual pdf..it's just identical with the Charge, hope there's an ODIN package for the Aviator so I could try to mess the phone :D

[Verizon Droid Charge] Chien35:
My opinion, we don't need any other CDMA tools to inject this phone coz we already have Samsung PST to do all the jobs.

Try open your Samsung PST then select the phone (SCH-I510), click on Setting button then click Select all and Read From Phone, and you'll found all settings we need to inject but the coloumn with grey color blue text is locked. Maybe these settings locked by DLL file that came from Verizon, we need to crack this DLL file to unlock the settings.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imagecolour:
I have already tried with PST lite, do you or anyone has full version of PST for Droid Charge i510
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chien35:
Lite version is enough, the matter is DLL file locked the settings. The DLL file can be call a profile for the phone coz the file only work on the same phone type only. CMIIW
[Verizon Droid Charge] imagecolour:
I tried changing it, but it reverts back to its original setting after a restart.

As i earlier told you all that the answer is in the SIM.

Try Gevay CDMA SIM if anybody can and please update.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chien35:
Have u try remove the SIM? When u used the SIM all settings will be back to 4G settings but when u remove the SIM, all settings refer to phone configuration.

My opinion SIM Card is priority, when it available the phone will read it but when it unavailable the phone will switch to CDMA. CMIIW

I formerly use Motorola Photon 4G Sprint but I'm not a Sprint user, when the phone boot the first time it read is 4G network then CDMA follow by GSM. If 4G available then it connect to 4G if not then CDMA, if CDMA not available then GSM.
