I don't know how strict people are about "searching" things before posting on the forums, but I rather get yelled at by some nerd on the internet, than to have my $350 device screwed over because I followed the wrong tutorial. Anyways here are my questions:

1) I bought this device from someone brand new, and it came out of the box configured to work with Windmobile, but I was able to get my FIDO SIM card to work by simply inputting it into the device. So does this mean that my device is already unlocked?

2) I still have the old 2.2 version on my phone, and I want the new version (2.3), but since I cannot update the OS from the device itself, I don't know what method I should follow from my computer, also I am afraid that I might lose my unlock (if it is) with the update.

Please link me to the proper tutorial, or give me some insight on my problem, Thank you.

Aint this community lovely, 160 views, yet no replies. Well I guess it is still better than spam and calling each other names.
[LG Optimus 2x] M_T_M:
hey, hey, hey...relax newbie.......:cool:

First of all you decide to spit on everybody's face about the fact that you are too lazy to search for stuff and now you cope an attitude??:confused:

I was going to leave this thread open to allow other member's input and for teh LULZ but I do believe you will have to actually do some search now.

Cheers,

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lucasmalaguti:
In a few days i'm gonna get my Galaxy Nexus, which is a big thing here in Brazil since we'll only be able to get it officially in march (if so). So I couldn't be more exited, right?

I'm not trying to sound bragging or anything, I'm just hopping you guys could give me some tips on how should I proceed. Should I get some cases? Install some ROMs?

Long story short, what you would do with your GNex immediately after getting it?

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
Root - unlock bootloader - flash rom - flash kernel - win!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tree of Knowledge:
^^^^^ This.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lucasmalaguti:
which one should I install?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
Read -> trial -> error -> trial -> possible success. And then continue reading!

I am on Aokp & franco's kernel, seems to be a popular combination.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lucasmalaguti:
Thanks! I think what i mean to ask was 'what rom you guys use' :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabug:
First thing I made when I got my GN was backup my phone (it's a Docomo SC-04D device), then flash a Google oficial rom. After some time I played with some custom roms and kernels... Now I'm having A LOT OF FUN customizing and tweaking my own AOSP build!

PS: Very nice see others Brazilians here!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buff McBigstuff:
Unlock your bootloader first thing. When you do this it wipes all data on your phone. If you do this before you put any data on the phone you won't lose any data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KernelK:
Definitley unlock the bootloader first!!! If you don't, you will lose any work you have put into customizing thus far. It also wipes the SD card memory so don't think backing up stuff there will be safe either. Made this mistake.....

I think the Open Kang Milestone 2 is an awesome ROM. Nice tweaks without overrunning the ICS experience. Franco's Kernel seems to give better battery life as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MagicMan3:
I use Kang Milestone 2 with the leankernel, works great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Peesashiz:
how do you unlock the kernel?

im using aokp with franco's kernel and im loving it so far. but the battery still isnt too good. maybe im missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
Sorry, edited; obviously meant bootloader.. :-P
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] siralsmooth:
Long story short, my USB port stopped working on my touchpad. Against my better judgement, I did the 3.0.5 upgrade to ensure that WebOS didn't disable the USB in lieu of the awaiting upgrade. I did the secure wipe, which somehow brought back my android install that disappeared after the upgrade. And here I am, stuck at the WebOS initial setup screen. After I connect to wifi, my credentials are not accepted for a new or existing user. I did the upgrade from 3.0.2 to 3.0.4 before it went official, and had to use impostah and bypass activation to get everything setup.

Any ideas as to why my info or new info won't take? Maybe it has something to do with having previously used impostah or the bypass activation method?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] siralsmooth:
Update

I bit the bullet and did the rapid exchange since I have had the cracks on the case since day 3. However, I ran into issues activating the replacement touchpad. Had to bypass activation, preware, impostah, and remove the -NEW from the model number. After that I was able to push my credentials through via impostah and get things going. Just in case anyone else has troubles activating their replacement touchpad, this info will help you.

I found it earlier, when I used this application. I use the GO Locker today...
[HTC Sensation] Clark22:
I was wondering what the black stuff between the lcd and digitizer is and where do I get it? My wife and son both broke their digitizers so I decided to replace them. The first phone I did was my wife's and I think I might have removed too much of the black adhesive because the digitizer keeps lifting up allowing dust to get trapped in between. I learned from my first attempt and myy son's went much better and is working perfectly.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
I have a quick question about App compatibility. I am going to Disney in early May and wanted to give their official app (Mobile Magic) a try, but when going to the market place, I found that the Rezound is not currently compatible.

Is there any way for me to get it to work? I have a little time before we go, but I have no idea how often they update the app for newer phones.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
The first thing you do is download it and try it.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
He can't. If the market says it isn't compatible, then it won't let him download it to try it.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
Yea, exactly. I guess I should have been a little more clear and mentioned that I was on the market website not the app on the phone.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Do you have another android device?
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
Ha, yea, a tablet but it is not compatible with that either. It is compatible with my old Droid Charge which I no longer have though :)
[HTC Rezound] con247:
you could alter the build.prop so that it would let you download it. No promises that it will work.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
You should be able to grab the app on the web version of the market and then install it on your phone regardless of compatibility. Or try one of the other markets like Amazon or app brain(if they carry the app).
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
If I use the web version of the market it shows up, but will not let me send it to the device. I can try Amazon or AppBrain to see if either of them work.

I am assuming in order to alter the build prop I would have to be rooted to do so, which I am not currently.
[HTC Rezound] DbZ Gokuu:
I'm assuming its a paid app? You could always just download the .apk. But that would be illegal..
[HTC Rezound] dangerousjenny:
I was able to download Monopoly via Amazon instead of the market. The market kept saying it was not compatible with my phone and when I saw it on Amazon as free app of the day I tried it and it worked. Don't know if Amazon has that app but its worth a try.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
Amazon doesn't have it. If someone has a phone that can actually download the app from the market and is willing to post the apk, I could try loading it that way.

I can't find any way to contact Disney to see what their plans are for the app and their compatibility list on the website for the app is out of date because I know some phones that aren't in their list that will work with the app.
[LG Optimus Black] lucasmalaguti:
As some of you know, I'm getting a new phone.

I'm not trying to bragging or anything just to be clear.

Turns out that this great phone witch I love will be given to my Mom.

Now the question is, which ROM should I left to her? It have to be simple, fast, stable and battery frendly.

Thanks for your help :)
[LG Optimus Black] xfunnybonex:
try Nova Rom by knzo :)
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Yeap, go for NOVA. If v8 drains your battery (some of us had that problem with v8), go for v4, then flash v4.5 (no-wipe).

PS to knzo if he reads this: In memory to Mr. Happy :p

:)
[LG Optimus Black] lucasmalaguti:
Thanks guys!

I remember when i used to use Nova v8, Huexxx had a really great kernel/mods that made the phone battery really good. I think it was his first version..

Now I flashed his 1.4v and i'm not getting the same battery.

Dos someone have his first version?
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Give her zeus rom, since it is stock, but modified, very stable, fast and battery is fine :-D

Sent from my blasting P970 with zeus :-)
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
but there're annoying double contacts, aren't there ?
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Go to contacts settings, display options and simply disable one or more sources, since it displays the backup of your gmail account and so on otherwise at the same time. One source like gmail account should be enough ;-)

Sent from my blasting P970 with zeus :-)
[LG Optimus Black] grnfeuer:
i vote for zeus too. it works fine for now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
I've spent a couple of hours on Google trying to find if anyone has had success getting the Virtuous_OC Daemon working for the Evo.

I tried installing a version that works on the MyTouch 4G. I chose that one because only other one I saw was for a dual core phone. (EVO 3D)

No luck.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] broxstodavis:
Hey everyone,

Okay here's the problem as I see it. I have lost my ability to connect to 4G service. I'm located in West Lafayette, IN, which is a very good with the 4G service. I love my droid bionic. I have been to hell and back with this phone, through all the leaked versions, and getting back on the OTA, yet I still have problems. I noticed that I couldn't get 4G, which I initially thought it was just the data drop complaints everyone is talking about, but I can get 3G no problem. I go to compare my info with some others that have the 901 update and i noticed the difference in the Baseband version.

What I have:

System version: 5.9.901.XT875.Verizon.en.US

Model Number: DROID BIONIC

Android Verision: 2.3.4

Baseband version: CDMA_N_04.06.00R

Webtop Version: WT-1.3.0-108_DBN-24

Kernal version: 2.6.35.7-g83f1a47vwm736@il93lnxdroid43 #1

Build number: 5.51_84_DBN-70

ERI version: 5

PRL version: 1

What I believe I should have:Baseband version: CDMA_N_04.06.00R LTEDC_U_07.1E.00

I saw on another site to dial *#*#4636#*#* and I went into phone information and scrolled down to see if I could change the preferred network type, and LTE is not even option. :/

My phone does recieve data though (3G), and it working well minus the 4G, but obviously I'd love to have the 4G seeing as that's what I bought it for. Can anyone help? Much appreciated.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] razz1:
Do you have the proper radio for 901?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] broxstodavis:
I believe so. I used the link on droidlife's post about the new 901 update and haven't touched anything since. Other than a factory reset and etc to try and improve data drops.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] broxstodavis:
update: okay this sounds weird, but it now says I have the correct baseband. However, when I go to *#*#4636#*#* and try to check the preferred network type, LTE is still not an option, the CDMA/GSM (Auto) is what's checked now. I have 4G, but it is very intermittent and then usually eventually just hops on 3G and sticks. I changed the preferred network type to "other" in hope that it keeps looking for 4G, and it might have helped, but not much. any ideas? I think something is still wrong with my radio or something probably...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ticrandall:
Lte is not an option on mine if I do the 4636 deal either, and I can connect 4g.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] broxstodavis:
okay, what is your set to? and my has been connecting, but after about 2 mins, disconnects for a bit, then reconnects....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
Under network preferred mode it says cdma/gsm? Should read CDMA/LTE and CDMA Only.. Your baseband should read CDMA_N_04.06.00R LTEDC_U_07.1E.00 I could try and send you the radio files only if you like????

Did you try a ROM or are you stock?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] broxstodavis:
I mean after you dial *#*#4636#*#*, when you go to settings, wireless & networks, etc, ya I only have those two options....and sure, that'd work!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] broxstodavis:
and I'm still on stock.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
are u rooted?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] broxstodavis:
I am rooted. I'm starting to think it might be my area. I'm not sure though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
You could check and make sure that these files are in your system/lib folder of the phone. If something is missing then that is probable your issue... http://db.tt/m60w2zE2
[Motorola Droid Bionic] broxstodavis:
I do have all these files, PLUS a BUNCH of other ones as well....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
These in general are for the radio..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] broxstodavis:
Okay, well now I'm getting 4G, just not staying connected from more than 2 mins. It'll connect, then disconnect and say I have no service, which will last about 2 mins as well. Trouble communicating with towers? or maybe the towers themselves.....just throwing out ideas.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
Sounds like Verizon tower farts!!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] broxstodavis:
Okay, well when I woke up this morning, I checked again, and now my baseband version is back to not having the "LTED...." ending, or whatever it is. Even airplane mode on/off, won't bring back the 4G that I used to be able to get for at least a little bit......any ideas?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] trackie:
I would recommend you do a nandroid backup and a titanium backup.

Then do the bionic save path which will get back you to stock

If LTE is still hit and miss call verizon to report the problem
[Motorola Droid Bionic] broxstodavis:
Question. when you dial *#*#4636#*#* click phone information, and scroll down to preferred network type or whatever it says, do you have the option for an LTE?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] trackie:
No. The option you should select is GSM/CDMA auto (prl)

This will give you 1x to 4G connectivity with verizon.

Selecting CDMA auto (PRL) disable the ability to connect to 4G.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] broxstodavis:
Oh okay, well I have that selected. It's just weird because sometimes my baseband will be correct, and sometimes it won't be.....does this ever happen to you, or not?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] trackie:
I dont check it often, but no my baseband doesnt change on its own.

Have you flash your bionic back to stock?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iNsAnEmOd:
OK dude don't freak out. Get on stock. Run Pathsaver. Make sure you have that radio.zip flashed in Stock Recovery. If you didn't, that could be the problem. Then flash updates .893 and .901. That should do it

Here's the radio

Does this actually unlock your phone/ actually let me use it on other networks??? If so it's only $15 pretty good deal I say!

Yeah.

Already bought it, exactly this listing. It worked nicely. But, It took 5 days to get the code.

I`ve bought many codes from the same seller. Works perfectly. Does take about 2-3 working days.
[GT540 Optimus General] ssmee:
my gt540 is still on the original 1.6 and i really want to move to a custom ROM. however, i can't stand rockplayer and the main reason i got the phone was for the native divx/xvid playback.

are there any custom ROMs that include this feature? i have yet to find any that do tackle this (although the 'Oxygen' ROM seems to suggest "codecs" are working - not entirely sure if that's what i'm looking for).

i really do need to move from 1.6 though. it's unbearable!

any help/advice welcome :)
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
lg made official 2.1 update..

and all 2.1 Custom Roms do support it aswell because they are based on the official one.

i can't imagine that oxygen rom supports it
[GT540 Optimus General] ssmee:
yes, i think it's unlikely seeing as no other ROM seems to have tackled it. i'm just curious what "codecs" in the features list means if not divx though.

i should have mentioned, i want to move from 1.6 to either 2.2 or 2.3. but if no ROM can support divx, i guess i'll end up with 2.1 after all.
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
Codecs for hardware decoding videos ? Dunno exactly

Sent from my GT540 Optimus
[GT540 Optimus General] BlAcKDoZzEr666:
Instead of Rock Player you can use Mobo Player, is more friendly and intuitive...
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
or MX video player .. its better than mobo i think
[GT540 Optimus General] ssmee:
but isn't that what native divx/xvid requires? functioning codecs for hardware decoding videos?

thanks for the alternatives, by the way!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LallyNZ:
Hi All

Finally plucked up the courage to register and ask a question after lurking for the good part of 2 years.

I've an i9020A and have flashed CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 v1.0 which is great, however I wanted to try Steve Garon's kernel which just wont take.

I reboot into Recovery, wipe Dalvik Cache a couple of times, install Steve's kernel which apparently flashes no problem.

I reboot and get the optimising Android applications screen then check my kernel under settings.

It is still the original KalimochoAz kernel and I cannot turn on my wireless.

Now this has happened previously when trying to also update my kernel under CDTDroid's AndroidMe 1.2 which I could only fix by restoring back to 1.1.

Any idea on what may be wrong here guys?

Appreciation in advance.

Lally
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Have you tried just flashing again? A bad flash often results in wifi not working and may be the cause of the about page showing the old kernel. Remember to wipe dalvik cache again, too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LallyNZ:
Thanks for the reply Harbb, do you mean a re flash of the Kernel or ROM? If Kernel then yeah I have done, same scenario. I'll also try a re download of the Kernel to see if that improves anything but this is much akin to me trying to update from Speedy3 to Speedy4 under AndroidMe 1.2 which was unsuccessful.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Just the kernel, as you've already tried. Just remember to do a NANDroid backup (CWM --> backup & restore --> backup) when you have a stable, working ROM. Can save you alot of trouble if you don't have a relatively recent one.

Also, are you using CWM 5.0.2.0? And could it be that your phone isn't particularly happy about the 1100mhz OC with Steve Garon's kernel?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suksit:
I'd suggest updating CWM recovery to the latest version.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LallyNZ:
Cheers for the help guys.

Yes, using 5.0.2.0, but something is not right cause I just tried to flash CWR again from within Rom Manager (4.8.1.3) and it gets to around 95% and the app gives 'Rom Manager is not responding.

Looks like I'll have to try a complete wipe and reflash.

Will report back the results.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Forget rom manager all together.

Download the recovery you want to use.

Flash it via fastboot

flash kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I'd do what albundy said - flash a new recovery through fastboot and make sure the bootloader is unlocked (vol. up + power --> bootloader: unlocked)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LallyNZ:
Ok, downloaded CM9 1.1, redownloaded Steves kernel, reinstalled recovery from fastboot.

Wiped and formatted everything twice then installed from scratch.

So far everything is good, still getting errors on Superuser, but installing again via recovery seems to fix that issue.

Cheers chaps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Good to know Lally, happy you got it sorted out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LallyNZ:
Cheers Harbb, the test will be when I want to change the kernel again I suppose, one complete wipe and install a day is enough :p

[Motorola Droid X2] Arbybear:
Does it matter which method I used to root my phone? I used Petes one click, but everyone is suggesting zergrush. I'm on 2.3.3, if it's relevant.

Also, does stock 2.3.3 mea it is not rooted?
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
If you have root in the end, you're good to go. Root is root, regardless of how you go about getting it. FWIW, I use Pete's all the time. Only time Zergrush might be necessary is if you're on 2.3.5. Pete's won't work on that.
[Motorola Droid X2] Arbybear:

[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
I have a 7 yr old laptop + W7 and cannot get ZR to work. I use Petes on 234 and voodoo RK on the flashable otas. To prevent eclipse from bombing just delete the incompatible suBU b4 flashing it or other roms.
[Motorola Droid X2] kevinv20:
i have the 412 build everytime i tun it it say adb or whatever it is is outdated killing then zergrush started succesfully. It says that for every operation it runs and says failed to install super user and all that stuff. I dont get it. I think i have all the latest drivers installed. Do I have to sbf and start over again?
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
yes. root 234 (not 235) then voodoo.
[Motorola Droid X2] kevinv20:
for anyone having trouble using zergrush to root their phones use

the exsbf dx2 tool I found at droidxforums.

Its a linux program. Its super easy and an all in one tool for SBFing, rooting, and installing BSR. For some reason this program (which uses zergrush) worked to root 2.3.5, once again its super easy and doesnt take long at all
