unlock

Hi I purchased ZTE Score X500 it's CDMA2000 1X EVDO Digital Mobile Phone, Android 2.3.4 Kernel ver. 2.6.35.7-perf+ Software version ZTE-C X500_31_Z10_S_TS3BG312A_05

Since I am in Canada I can not use it.

I like the phone it has everything I need WIFI, GPS and all phone features plus pre-loaded with some applications. It doesn't have sim card and I wonder if it can be unlocked to be able to use it here in Canada. Appreciate any response. :)

Just want to ad that it is great as GPS, you can install any nav-software that is for android and you do not have to have data plan. So if you are looking to buy a GPS I higly recommend to buy this one. You get GPS with WIFI and BT for $70. Where can you get that??? Also is there an aplication that will allow me to erase some of the aplications that are custom installed and also is there an registry editor or desktop manager . Any help will be apreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmokGolgrath:
I believe you need to Root your phone. I did and after I used Terminal Manager to erase some of the programs you are talking about, until I found Titanium Backup which lets you uninstall those programs ALOT easier.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husker apollo:
rooted w/ the above method, worked like a charm, only took about 15 mins, no hiccups (compared to my epic 4g touch, first foray into rooting... took like 3 nights of trial and error...).

anyway for those wondering, this $50 prepaid phone from cricket is dope. with root i can tether off this thing, unlimited. used titanium backup to get rid of bull**** muve bloatware... this thing does not have carrieriq on it... only thing i would love is some custom roms!!

i'm real new to the root scene, only had an android since e4gtouch came out and i'm happy as hell.

i needed a second line, picked up this cheapo phone, and i'm really quite satisfied.

anyway i registered just to thank furiousnn for the sharing. peace out!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztex500:
Thanks

I rooted with no problem. Was hesitant to uninstall cricket applications.

Anyway I gave a shoot and uninstalled all except my account and reboted and so far everything works good. Now I have to optimize and install replacement software for video music picture documents and so on.

Instruction: for root I used program "Zerg rush root" for removing applications used "Rom Toolbox"

Question. Does root mean that phone is unlocked if not what need to be done to unlock so I can use here in Canada.

Thanks any help appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anfeldt24:
Root mean.....

Root does not mean the phone is unlocked- root just give you full use of the Android OS- complete customization. You can use superuser and enable tethering without the tethering plan.

Almost like a pure Google phone is the best way to describe a root in simple terms.

hi,

Did anyone got the firmware update for LG Quantum?

I heard many Optimus 7 users have already got it.?

Is there is a need to debrand in order to get the update.?

Let me know.
[Windows Phone 7 General] NaohiroFukuda:
yakaaithiri,

Confirm firmware version on your Quantum.

Following Optimus 7 firmwares version at this time update.

Firmware revision No.	1.1.2.10 to 1.1.3.10

Radio software version	1.1.2.10 to 1.1.3.10

It has kept on another firmware versions(Hardware revision No., Radio hardware versio, Bootloader version, Chip SOC version) at this Optimus update.

Quantum's current firmware versions are

Firmware revision No.	1.1.6.10

Radio software version	1.1.6.10

Newer than Optimus one.

I think "no update" on Quantum C900.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Big_O:
Been reading reviews on this puppy. Most people are happy and satisfied. Always interested in the negative reviews because there lies some shortcomings. Been a big HTC fan for years. Some net reviews indicated resizing webpages presented scrolling issues. Some people indicated the flyer was too heavy for e-reading. How's flash holding up? Heard netflix is finally running.

Aside from the price, does this surf without any headaches? Is resizing an issue?

Thanks,
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tuen:
No problems at all with surfing or resizing of web pages.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] veethree:
Resizing of web pages works well - something really miss on my other devices that don't have text reflow. In my 4 months with the device, I've only ever come across one page with scrolling issues: it still moved, I just couldn't flick.

The e-reading is fine. It's obviously heavier than a Kindle but the Fire is going to be the same weight so Amazon also doesn't think it will be a problem.

And flash has worked fine for me in all instances, though I have it set to turn on only by request.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dstrauss:
Resizing web pages on the Flyer is a dream. No matter how large yuo make the text, it reflows on the page for easy reading. Try that on an iPad or phone and it reaches a certain size and you have to go back to left-right scrolling. If I want 40pt type, that's what I should get without scrolling! Just love the way the Flyer browser handles pages.

so i have a htc evo 4g on boost mobile. The service is great but for some reason my internet is extremely slow!! Im running miui rom and it shows 1x on top, but my brother in law has the same phone and his internet is 3 times faster then mine. His is also flash to boost mobile. Any ideas what it could be? and yes i've tried changing the prl and nothing. Mind you we tested the speed on speednet and my download is .12 mbps and his is 1.00mbps. Please somebody help me, im sooooo frustrated with this slow internet!!

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked before but my mom's i9000 has suddenly lost the ability to make/receive calls and to use data, but wifi and everything else works fine.

Do you think it's a software problem and can be flashed with a fix or it's a hardware problem?

Thanks for the help first.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Can someone post all available frequencies(the voltage for lower than 600MHz and how much battery will it take comparing to the lower frequencies, eg 864 takes "x" battery more than 844)

Is there safe to use 864, and does it take to much battery, or not?

Thanks a lot
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
frequencies below 600: 122, 245, 320, 480 (all of these use the same voltage)

frequencies above 600: 652, 672, 691, 710, 729, 748, 768, 787, 806 (the difference in battery varies depending on your governor and usage but generally, the higher the frequency the more battery it eats)

stability-wise, the only thing that can go wrong when you oc to 864 is a kernel panic. other than that it should be safe to use. however, in the long run i think it can harm your cpu (and yes it does use a lot of battery)

this is my understanding. if someone does not agree, feel free to point out what you believe is wrong
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
yep sweetnsour is right ...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
All that can be added to what sweetnsour said is that there are three more frequencies over 600: 825, 844 and 864 MHz. But the chances for our CPU to be stable at any frequency above 806 MHz are very low.

Another notable side-effect to the overclock, beside quick battery depleting, is CPU overheating. I found my CPU to be stable at 806, but I went back to 729 just because the phone warmed up so much faster. At 729, I sense no difference compared to 600 MHz.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Yes a rooted with other tuning needs no oc, but what is thr highest that will not harm anything on a long term...

And does 122-480MHz really have same voltage?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
This is highly subjective, no one can tell for sure, except maybe the manufacturer. Buy in theory you should be safe with any frequency at which your CPU is stable and does not overheat. You will sell or trash the phone long before the overclock will affect anything.

And remember: the CPU spends a fairly low amount of time at the high frequency; most of the time it will fall back to the minimum, as long as there are no tasks requiring high processing power.

As far as I could gather in the 10 months I spent on this forum, the community agreed that 729 MHz is the most convenient value.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MaKTaiL:
Yes, 728hz is the best value for performance and battery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
This flocking app needs thanks button...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
So the perfect is 480--729 SmartassV2 thanks...

Btw is the voltage really the same from 122 to 480?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
I personally dont use Smartassv2 as it has some wakelock problems, so try different governors and find out which works best for you.

Btw, you are using the wrong kernel for your rom(6.5.8), you should be using fserve kernel or 4 Sept kernel by Franco (.32).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Altamash sayyed:
Yaa 480--729 is the perfect.Above 768 phone becomes unstable.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
And below 480 is same ****? I mean it won't do anything good to battery right?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MaKTaiL:
Exactly!

Oh ye I got it *cool*

[Optimus One, P500, V General] virusshah1997:
Ohh...wen i removed my charger after 10 sec it gaved panic..ithink 768/480 is proper for me...nd can u give me details about the governer plz
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vj_dustin:
all using Smartass governer??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Smartassv2 cuz v1 its like a petformance governor, only at max cpu... v2 goes down when screen off...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
No true, smartass also caps when screen off
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
No, I used an app to see that, when my min was 122, now its 480, but smartass hardly got low to 480 when screen off, but v2 was going 122--245 at screen off, not higher..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
It doesn't matter which frequency u use for screen off as it actually uses the same power consumption, and 122-245 it's very bad for battery when u try to wake up the phone.

You should not believe what websites/forum said, as it does not really apply to us as we only have 2 voltages.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thachtunganh:
if you OC your phone to ,825Mhz, 864Mhz , you will get the kernel panic like sweetnsour said , and it can kill mainboard of phone... and your phone now is a brick , you can use it for useful things like building your new house....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
I would never go higher than 768, maybe 787 but it has been in my experience that going that high gives KP's
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
It is unstable from 806--up
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
It varies, some phones can go up to 864mhz, while some can't go over 729mhz, it's a matter of hardware
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
It is a matter of kernel, the hardware will be burnt anyway, but safest is 768, and for battery is 729...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
nonono, it has nothing to do with kernel. i have seen alot of people using the same kernel with the same rom and some can't even go to 729mhz, while some can go 748 or more. Some people can go to 864Mhz without any problems. So, there is no proof that kernels affect overclocking limits. I know some people can't overclock like they used to after flashing a new kernel, but it's a matter of 20mhz more or less they cant overclock.

Most important of all is depends on your hardware, some have better builds/material some have lousier one. Best for battery from what i have read is 806mhz, but 825 and 864 causes a lot of battery drain.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
My phone can go to any of those, but my max on stock kernel was 600, on the miks kernel on6.5.8 was 864, and on the .35 by franco, using now with cm7 6.6.1 I have max 806, but i use 768, only when plugged in, no need for OC, SD booster and VM heap made it too fast, OC only makes Angry Birds faster
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
LOL. That because Stock kernel does not have any overclocking support, hence it can't go past 600mhz.

On franco kernel or others, they have a overclock support which let you overclock to maximum 864mhz, but many people can't go to 864mhz or maybe 768mhz because of their hardware limit, and when they try to go over this "limit" they will get a kernel panic.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
I get a screen blocked at 787--806, kernel errors on rushed startup in 727--768, and higher I don't wanna test, no need to...

This is a O1, higher than 806 makes it faster than SGS2, but that phone is too big...

#1- So, there is no way I can change that name/title on the Main Page? As I mentioned, the first email icon I put on the main page shows the name/title underneath as AOL, but the Hotmail one shows "my name @ hotmail." I would rather it just show "Hotmail." No way to change that title/name?

#2- I've read on the Internet that A7 is supposed to have 8GB HD. Mine shows total of 4GB. Could that be correct. And is shows only 1.5GB remaining. What could have used (or be using) the other 2.5GB?

[HTC Wildfire S] xxshabsxx:
Ok, so I'm quite a novice at the whole rooting/unlocking scene so I need a few pieces of help. I'm contemplating where to buy the XTC clip or not, more isn't THAT much of an issue right now but I'll save where I can.

First off, is if I buy the XTC clip....would I need it again?

I was thinking of buying the clip, then selling it off to someone else for cheaper (kind of like a group buy). So If I were to use the XTC clip and sell it (and it works fine), would there be a case that I'd need it again?

What does the XTC clip do exactly?

There are two things I keep seeing, the S-OFF and the "Unlock bootloader". My phone (WFS) has S-OFF and a locked bootloader. Would the clip UNLOCK the bootloader and make it S-OFF, of not then what's the difference.

Speed.

I heard someone saying something about the processor and the bootloader. If the bootloader was unlocked, would it make the phone faster? Even though the WFS isn't slow...it's not that fast either.

Anyway thanks for reading, and thanks in advance!
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
I think you have become quite confused.....First of s-on means a locked bootloader and s-off means an unlocked bootloader....

A locked bootloader(s-on) won't allow you to flash a custom rom or root it(my case :( )

An unlocked bootloader(s-off) allows you to do almost everything an Android phone can do(rooting etc.)

If you want to check wether your WFS is s-on or s-off.....power off your phone an open it while pressing the volume down key.The first will show wether its s-on or s-off.If it is s-off you DO NOT NEED AN XTC CLIP.xtc clip only unlocks the bootloader..it doesn't root it.

'Root access" or "root" for short is just like administrator for Windows.......It can do a lot of things you can't normally do with your android phone.It also allows you to overclock your phone

Overclocking means to make a processor go above its speed limit.In the context of the WFS,your phones speed will go above 600mhz.....I wouldn't recommend you to do it cuz it can fry your processor if youre not careful

And yes......xtc-clip will on be a one use thing.If you use it once for s-off,you won't be needing it again....you can sell to anyone,propably me :D
[HTC Wildfire S] xxshabsxx:
Pressing the power down whilst booting does absolutely nothing, which would mean my phone is S-On, which is what I thought.

I'll probably buy a XTC clip soon.
[HTC Wildfire S] drsjlazar:
When the phone is off, you have to hold the volume down and power buttons *at the same time*. This will take you to the bootloader menu whether you are S-OFF or S-ON and it will say which one your phone is.
[HTC Wildfire S] xxshabsxx:
As I said. I cannot get to the bootloader no matter how long I hold the two. And yes the volume key still works.
[HTC Wildfire S] thering1975:
before you can do the volume down and power button you need to switch off fastboot

settings>power>untick fastboot

power off and do as the above poster stated and you can check your s state
