[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
You need to find out, is it a gt-p1000, or a gt-p1010... If it doesn't use a sim card its a cdma tab and there aren't many roms to flash. If its a p1010 then you have a wifi only tab. No real way to play with it as there aren't many, if any, roms...

If you have a g1000.....

You need to go to the developement section and find a rom you like but before you flash, use the bootloader check.apk found in this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=888071 to see if the bootloaders are locked. Then I'd suggest going to the rom upgrade tutorial found here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1205990 .

You will find in this thread all the things you need to upgrade, ODIN, m rpit file and the safe rom.

From there you should be able to flash any rom you want whether its Overcome Kratos, Boca or any other. Just make sure its not a cdma,p1000l/n rom or for the p1010. These will brick your tab if you try to flash these...

If you have a CDMA tab then you will need to do some research as theres not many roms out there, I can't help as I've never flashed one of these and my knowledge is sketchy at best...

P1010 tab means no roms for you....

Good luck....

Thanks i have the P1000 but must i be wary that i am on region xsg and cannot display a pda or csc code?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Not really sure, if you root your device thn use a root explorer to find and backup your efs folder to your external(removable) memory card. It should have data inside that is your csc, imei and a few other things you might like to keep.

At the end of the day its really up to you if you wanna try to flash or not, I offer no guarantees as neither does the chefs, its flash at your own risk... There's help out there if you need it, however, as I tell everyone else, read up on what you need to do, then when you know, reread it again. Take it slow, do 1 step at a time so you won't miss anything (you'll feel a right **** if you don't untick or tick something in ODIN you were supposed to and it hangs at startup).

Also, if you know what the stock FROYO rom was, grab a copy and keep it on your pc. Its a hell of a lot easier to have everything you need at your beck and call then it is to have to find and download later...

I leave it in your hands...

Hi!

I'm thinking of buying a nexus s. Is it possible to tether over wifi with the current version? This would be a must have feature for me.

thx
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
It depends. What carrier? Do you plan on rooting?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fpdragon:
I was thinking about buying it from amazon germany.

I just heard that in newer versions (2.3.5+) tethering is completely removed by google. Was this just a temporary thing and it was added again in the latest version?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoponpop:
I think there was only one update that messed up tethering. an update has been released that fixes that issue. the phone also comes with native tethering so you should be able to tether no matter which network you're one

Easytether still works perfectly on the NS4G on 2.3.7 unrooted
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
They never said it was removed. It was inadvertently broken with the initial 2.3.6 update or made to function within the carrier's parameters (e.g: Sprint's check for PAM when using libsec-ril from 2.3.5).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fpdragon:
ok thanks for the info...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:

[Motorola Droid 3] g3n1uss:
Hello, guys. I just came to USA and I do not how everything works here. I want Droid 3 as you can already know because I am posting here) I can buy this perfect device only locked by verizon but I do not like their plans so I think that AT&T will be good for me.

So as I understand after reading this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172521&page=1 the necessary steps are the following:

1) I buy the phone for example here Droid 3 by motorola .

2) I buy the unlocking code at ebay (the seller is freedomobile).

3) I unlock the device using above code.

4) I buy the AT&T SIM-card.

5) I activate the SIM-card

and everything should work. Is everything correct?

And one more question: will I have the warranty?

How about buying already unlocked phone here http://negrielectronics.com/motorola-xt860-droid-3-850-1900-3g-unlocked.html

Thank you very much.
[Motorola Droid 3] volcomnator999:
no it wont
[Motorola Droid 3] g3n1uss:
What question is this answer to? And why?
[Motorola Droid 3] txshender:
I am not going to preach about searching or anything because it's quite lame IMO.

However, to answer your question, it won't work. From what I understand, Verizon was able to convince/modify/something with Motorola to prevent GSM networks inside the US to use the phone. I am not sure of the technical reasons specifically, but as far as I know, an unlocked Droid 3 just will not work on US GSM networks.

Besides, I strongly discourage against AT&T. There are reasons why people are willing to pay slightly more for Verizon.
[Motorola Droid 3] eXecuter.bin:
Verizon tinkered with the baseband firmware which blocks all US GSM networks. We cannot replace the firmware unless we have an unlocked bootloader.
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
Might not answer your question but I thought I saw someone post saying they use their droid 3 on cricket. *shrug*
[Motorola Droid 3] bobbysteels216:
The D3 can be flashed to Cricket. The Droid 2 Global, which is also a global, can be flashed to Cricket. The thing is that VZW doesn't want their global phones being used on GSM bands (AT&T/T-Mobile) in the US.
[Motorola Droid 3] g3n1uss:
So, the only way to buy the phone in USA is choosing the operator at first and then choosing the phone on the web site of the operator, correct?

And how about already unlocked devices by negrielectronics?
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
If you can get the proper unlocking code it WILL work on ATT. I know TeamBlackHat(which has a good reputation) sells these codes and has successfully done it.
[Motorola Droid 3] g3n1uss:
My question is will I be able to activate my SIM-card in unlocked droid 3?
[Motorola Droid 3] rweb:
Really? Did I miss something? Do you have a link?
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
Google it...
[Motorola Droid 3] rweb:
Couldn't find.
[Motorola Droid 3] g3n1uss:
Guys, I need your advice about negrielectronics.com Can I trust them? They told me that selling devices already unlocked and can be used with AT&T.
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
They are pretty reputable. They sent Jon over at	technobuffalo a htc sensation that was unlocked and could be used on att. I would say go for it.
[Motorola Droid 3] aGoGo:
XT860 (Bell and OEM) may work, read few success stories about it.

The regular XT862, which is verizon's version will not work definitely.

I'm not from the US though, but I visit the states every summer and I know that my upcoming XT862 will not work while i'm visiting :(
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
You don't know that...we've seen Droid pros, droid 2 globals on ATt thanks to tbh.
[Motorola Droid 3] Skillachi:
Have similar question with regards to this problem.

I am using a Droid3 XT862 that has been unlocked, and I'm living in Jamaica.

However for some reason I cannot get the phone to work with one of my local networks. I can get it to work with two of them, namely Digicel and Claro. But I cant get it to work with Lime for some strange reason. I know the phone is capable to operate on the bandwidths which are listed below:

Digicel: GSM 900/1800 MHZ, UMTS 900 MHZ

Lime: GSM 850/1900 MHZ, UMTS 850/1900 MHZ

Claro: GSM 850/1900 MHZ, UMTS 850/1900 MHZ

All of which can work on the phone, and I also believe I shouldn't have the problem because I'm not using a US network where use is firmware locked. But my network of choice is Lime who is the only network that offers 3g locally. When I put in my lime sim it says "invalid sim card/no sim" and when I try to register to the lime network the phone says "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network".

Any suggestions/solutions?
[Motorola Droid 3] wjones:
For realz! Get us a link to this ish!
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
(@wjones) Just head over Droid 2 Global section.

But before you do so, let me give you the bad news. TBH solution will not work on D3, neitheron does on newer D2G/DPro firmwares. It is all described there by CellZealot (TBH) in the D2G thread. Sorry, if you want D3 on AT&T, go buy Bell XT860.
[Motorola Droid 3] wjones:
I'm not convinced that the Droid 3 can't work on both carriers, the hardware is there. If you compare to radios on the XT360 to the Droid 3 you see that they support the same radio technologies and the same bands, except the Droid 3 includes the CDMA need for use on Verizon as well.

Droid 3 http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/U...obile-Phones/ci.DROID-3-by-MOTOROLA-US-EN.alt

XT360 http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/C...ces/Mobile-Phones/ci.MOTOROLA-XT860-CA-EN.alt
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Why not just go with Verizon? I have heard bad things about AT&T all the time.
[Motorola Droid 3] cellzealot:
Sorry, I don't frequent the D3 General forum much, so I missed this discussion.

As leobg stated, our band unlock method only works on the original release firmware for the D2G and Pro and not on any subsequent firmware and definitely not on the D3. The band lock in its original form was a simple boolean item in the NVM, a single bit to "flip the switch" on and off. This was unacceptable to VZW and it was then moved into the radio image itself and no longer accessible in the NVM. The radio images are signed and cannot be modified at all. the solutions we have for the later D2G and Pro builds are in the form of unsigned radio images that can only be run on NS (Non Secure) engineering devices. We do not have any such radio images for the D3 although I am certain they exist, and they are useless on stock hardware in any event.

They are very serious about preventing their branded devices from being used on any competitors network in the US.

Even if we isolated the band lock in the radio image, we have no way to modify and sign our own radios.

Sorry...this is not likely to change and will not work.
[Motorola Droid 3] librarat:
This all goes back to the locked bootloader... Their radio firmwares are signed, and cannot be changed. If we had an unlocked bootloader, we'd have no issues with this, as we could then use un-signed radio images.
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
You got that right
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
I am thinking, what if a radio image from XT883 is flashed to Droid 3? Wouldn't this overcome the band lock?
[Motorola Droid 3] wjones:
I'd imagine not as it likely wouldn't work and if it did it wouldn't be able to support CDMA.

My personal phone is VZW but my work phone is AT&T. I wanted to have a device that I could have the AT&T sim be resident and use VZW in the states but then use AT&T while I'm on business outside the US. All without having to carry different devices, chargers, apps, settings, etc.

some developers that were working on the g2x had said that it would not be hard to port the Optimus 2x, or other roms from the 2x to our G2x

because even thought its the same hardware, the build and framework are different and thats how they thought it would be easy

It's not the same hardware, G2X uses a different radio chip due to it's 4G, that also means different GPS implementation and no doubt other stuff too.

Hey dear XDA peeps!

Ive got a couple of questions about microsd here :)

Ive got one 8GB Transcend card which I bought in the beginning and it seems to be working good. I then bought another 32GB Kingston card. It has worked pretty good but now it seems it is kinda fubared.. Ive unmounted it from the phone and connected it straight to the computer and Im having some problems copying stuff from the card. Which it was from the phone too..

How do I check the sd card for errors and fixes them? I dont have to keep the data on it.

What makes the sd card break? I understand how regular old harddisks die but what about sd cards? =)

And what brand for SD card shall I buy for the phone that have the best reliability?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hobs0n:
Im trying to format the sd card but it just hangs and refuses to format it so I guess the card really is fubared :/

So what card brand do you recommend for best quality?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EEngineer:
I've tried them all. SanDisk has the best microSD cards for the money. They are also faster than spec'ed. If you can't get SanDisk, get Kingston.

Transcend is the slower than SanDisk or Kingston. I've heard good things about Patriot but never tried them. Stay away from off-brands or you risk serous problems.

For any mobile phone get a Class 4 SanDisk. Format it using SDFormatter.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ShadowEO:
Right click the SD in windows explorer, hit properties, tools, check disk. what makes SD card go out is every flash storage has a set amount of writes, after those they start to go out. Whatever you do though, do NOT defrag a flash based storage, you'll kill it. I use a Kingston 4GB in mine and I've had my SD for years (before this phone it was used to boot operating system installs on my laptop and used for my DS flashcart :-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EEngineer:
Bears repeating...

Do NOT defrag Flash-based storage, you will kill it. Flash memory doesn't need defragging because it does not have mechanical heads like a magnetic hard drive.
