[Defy General] sp4i6:
Hi guys, I REALLY appreciate this thread, while there was a lot of info on unlocking the Motorola Defy, this thread by far has been the most useful. I have read this ENTIRE thread.

I have a:

Motorola Defy with Android 2.3.7

Baseband: EPU93_U_00.59.01

Mod: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-jordan

The solutions offered here did not work for me. I did NOT have a "working" sim card, I bought this phone without one. Do I NEED to have a WORKING sim card in the phone while I am applying the unlock patch? Is this why it's not working for me?
[Defy General] labsin:
Make sure you have a SIM that works without the unlock. Flash This even if you're on the right baseband and follow the OP guide. Should do it...
[Defy General] crakeron:
Yep as labsin said, a working sim card MUST be in the phone on the first reboot after flashing the patch. After that you can insert any sim you like but the first reboot must have the correct sim.

[Defy General] MietasSR:
It's work with ICS (CM9) too. Just instead entering

service bp-ptc /system/bin/bp_ptc
group root
user root

in init.mapphone_umts.rc you need to enter

service bp-ptc /system/bin/bp_ptc
class main
group root
user root
oneshot

It's work well with all CM9 and WIUI v4 - tested.
[Defy General] ponzoj:
Hey, great news!

you mean we should replace bp_ptc contained in the .zip for /system/bin/bp_ptc and add the lines you explained on /init.mapphone_umts.rc?

could you make a little how-to for CM9 users?

thanks!

EDIT:

I was checking again the script and I think I understood what you were talking about:

The line in bu.sh:

awk '/service nvm-daemon/ {if (done != 1) {done = 1; print "service bp-ptc /system/bin/bp_ptc"; print " user root"; print " group root"}}1;' /sdcard/defy_simlock_originals/init.mapphone_umts.rc > /sdcard/defy_simlock_originals/patched_init.mapphone_umts.rc

Should be:

awk '/service nvm-daemon/ {if (done != 1) {done = 1; print "service bp-ptc /system/bin/bp_ptc"; print " user root"; print " group root"; print " class main"; print " oneshot"}}1;' /sdcard/defy_simlock_originals/init.mapphone_umts.rc > /sdcard/defy_simlock_originals/patched_init.mapphone_umts.rc

and then we can flash the zip from recovery following the original process.

is that correct?

thanks!
[Defy General] ceanth:
Wow, that's great news for CM 9.

I don't fully understand the process though, can you explain in a little more detail how we do this?
[Defy General] crakeron:
Great news! Labsin and i will check this out and provide an update during the week to support CM9.

Victory! :D

[Defy General] crakeron:
I replaced the line for CM9, but my CM9 doesn't boot corectly after that (dalvik bootloop). But i more think it's due to a multiboot bug. Mianiac said that v0.52 has an install script bug. I'll try again with the fixed multiboot tomorrow ^^

Hey guys!

Flashed latest nightly update-cm-7-20120412-NIGHTLY-jordan-signed.zip

My radio is correct - EPU93_U_00.59.01

Then, after rebooting - flashed GB_Defy_softunlock_v1.3(EPU_U_00.59.01).zip

After - phone says No service - after rebooting - same thing.

Then after changing SIM card - same thing.

And Airplane mode is ON, when I tap on Airplane mode - it just becomes grey, when I turn off/reboot - Airplane mode is still ON!

What can I do?? Help me please!!

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

Also tried on Quarx's cm72-20120405-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip - same thing!!!

What the hell is this???

Wanna know what helped??

I've flashed Radio Change from 1st post - and it worked!!

And I didn't even tried to use Defy Baseband Switch!!

Strange thing - cause I already had that radio, but anyway - it worked!

[Defy General] robot1000:
Advice Please

I've just installed MS2Ginger, which updated my baseband to EPU93_U_00.61

I've tried running the Baseband Change file, but although it does state it's flashed, the baseband stays on .61

Is there any way round this?

Thanks
[Defy General] crakeron:
Once you've changed the baseband, it won't be shown so it is done but you simply can't see it ;). We're working on a way to update the "system info" when changing baseband
[Defy General] robot1000:
Oh right, I still had the issue when I changed my simcard (from Orange UK to T-mobile), it said that the sim wasn't recognised, which is why I presumed it had not flashed the baseband correctly.

Is there a certain amount of times the phone has to be rebooted with the correct sim before it can be changed?

Thanks
[Defy General] labsin:
No. But you run MS2Ginger. Can you upload the files in /sdcard/defy_simlock_originals?
[Defy General] ponzoj:
Hi, does anybody know if this baseband change zip can be used in a Motorola xt300 aka "spice"?? If not, could anybody give me a hint on how to do it??. It has a stock Brazilian ROM and is rooted but has not CWM.

Thanks
[Defy General] labsin:
No you can't use it. What do you wan't to accomplish?
[Defy General] ponzoj:
My wife`s xt300 original Argentina ROM really sucks so I flashed the Brazilian one which solved all the freezing problems and bugs but now there is no 3g, just EDGE... I was wondering that changing the baseband might solve the problem but there is almost none developments for this phone.

Is there any chance to solve that?

Thanks in advance
[Defy General] labsin:
Try replacing the files mentioned in this zip: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13595633&postcount=13

From /data/bp_nvm/ with the one's from the rom that did work.

Change permissions afterwards and reboot.

(should be wise to have a nand-backup of the original rom until it is settled)
[Defy General] ponzoj:
Great, will try! Thanks again
[Defy General] robot1000:
I've zipped the files and attached it to this post
[Defy General] abutreca:
Not worked for me :confused:

I have EPU93_U_00.59.01 and CM9 ICS (chinese froyo rom). Downloaded the ICS one and installed from zip in recovery. Reboot 2 times and tried with another sim and it keeps asking for an unlock code.
[Defy General] labsin:
Try using the baseband change zip anyhow. And try again.
[Defy General] labsin:
Don't know much about it, but I thought that would have done it
[Defy General] art-jcd:
Thanks, will try, great work!
[Defy General] robot1000:
I'm looking to change the baseband using the app (rather than the zip)

Can someone tell me which one EPU93_U_00.59.01 is?
[Defy General] labsin:
Won't work.
[Defy General] crakeron:
Defy basebandswitcher doesn't actually change the baseband like we do here.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuckM:
Well a downside could be lower battery life due to overclocking, but since you can control this its not really an issue... As for what ROMs you can use, doomkernel is meant only for stock based ROMs, it will not work with cyanogenmod (although he did make a separate doomkernel that supports CM7) or MIUI. Basically all ROMs that don't work with doomkernel are the ones that say they require their own, pretty self explanatory.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dearnoud:
My connector is broken and I cannot use a charger or make an usb connection with my computer.

To bring my phone back to the shop for guarantee I have to put back an original rom. But how to replace an original rom without the use of odin or a cable connection to my pc. Using an update.zip file on the sd-card does not work.

I have tried other chargers and usb cables.

Are there other solution the update the rom without the use of an usb-cable.

If your rooted, Mobile Odin.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
D'oh:o:o:o:o Sorry.

@OP - how many times have you flashed your phone? Mobile Odin doesn't increase the binary count or give the yellow triangle - you

may

get away with it when you send it back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyssa1104:
If using mobile odin your safe.

Flashing with Mobile ODIN does NOT increase your custom kernel flash counter or make the yellow warning triangle appear.

see detail on mobile odin ;)

Failing that you can buy the usb mother board on ebay quite cheap.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Not "safe" - Mobile Odin doesn't increase binary count, and it doesn't reset it either. Hence why I asked the OP how many times he's flashed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfmalta:
is it possible to get bricked with mobile odin?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Like ordinary Odin, unlikely, but there's always that small chance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkAntonio96:
It's really simple,buy Mobile Odin from Market and download the cf root for your firmware directly from the XDA thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 unzip the archive and you'll have a .tar file. Now download File Expert from the Market, open it and activate the FTP server. Download Filezilla(it's an open source FTP client) and connect to your phone by typing the IP address,username and password written in File Expert. So copy the .tar file you've got before to the /sdcard folder(this is the one you're already in) and close the FTP server. Now go in Mobile Odin open the Tar file and then press flash firmware. Your stock rom will be rooted in few seconds.... then you can send the ROM you want to flash via FTP to your SDCARD and flash them via Clockworkmod recovery :)

Sorry for the bad english,but i'm only 15 and I'm not english or american :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Mobile Odin definitely works i just tested it .

Bricking SGS2 about a 1% chance rising to 100% if user does not read and follow instructions .By any method that is .

Hey all, trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I hope I posted this in the right forum, if not mods please delete it.

I flashed my phone to cricket and then called 1800CRICKET and gave them my new phone's MEID. The lady charged me $15 and told me to *228. I said "Thanks" and did NOT *228. It wasn't working so I called back in half an hour and asked a gentlemen to refresh my account. He said okay, after we hang up please *228, so like any flasher knows I did not.

Here I am a few hours later and my old phone is still getting all of my texts and calls. My new phone gets texts sometimes, but very sporadically, and gets no 3G connection. I do have a 3g symbol in the upper right corner. When I dial *611 I hear "Welcome to Cricket! Para espanol, marke el uno".

I've followed both the text guide and the youtube guide at this page: http://www.cricketusers.com/sprint-...-4g-touch-cricket-talk-text-internet-mms.html

Did you input you phone number and MIN in the right tabs on qpst?

Send from my Galaxy S2 Epic Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tasoli:
Pretty sure I did, yeah.

Little update: I called cricket back and made sure the correct MEID # was on my account- big surprise, it wasn't. I had them re-enter my new MEID and now my new phone will make calls and send texts, but the internet is still not working which means it must be some error I made during flashing. Gonna go back over it all and ensure I didn't miss a step. Thanks for the suggestion with the MIN though.

Update 2: Fixed it. I didn't properly set the CHMOD settings on my u2nl and autostart.sh files - 0755 (user - read/write/execute, group - read/write, others - read/write; here's a detailed description of chmod for anyone who reads this later and doesn't understand).

Hi,

here is the first release of my CPS2 emulator for android.

If you like my work you can support me by buying the donation version on the market :)

CPSEmu is a Capcom CPS2 emulator for android. Play your favorites CPS2 games like Marvel Vs. Capcom, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Progear, Mars Matrix and more on your android device.

- Use the same GUI as my NeoGeo emulator "NeoDroid", so "NeoDroid" will benefit of all the changes added for this release.

- You can put your roms anywhere on your device, but a cache file is created for every (parent) games in a "cache" folder in your roms directory. If you move your roms, move that folder too.

- CPSEmu use a cache file when running, if you have some slowdown in the emulation, try to move your roms on another partition/sdcard.

- Thanks to frandroid for providing an xperia play device to improve/add control code/compatibility

[Android Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
Not bad.. gave it a go on my transformer and just got 19xx to play. When creating the cache images of any other game like mvc, I kept on getting error messages, something about crc and CPU1 (sorry, I forgot exactly what the message said, but I will check later). The roms are ok as I know for a fact that they work.

One other thing is that I couldn't change directory and the device did not look on my SD card to see if the roms were there or not.

That said, 19xx plays butter smooth, although the on screen controls could be better (ie the cross pad a bit larger as it is very easy to run your fingers out of it). I still have to try with my TF keyboard though.

Good job otherwise. I will test on my EVO 3d and report back.
[Android Apps and Games] BenKranged:
Are you really going to make the GUI for NeoDroid white?

I know this is minor, but I much prefer the black. Perhaps an option?

Also have you considered using the menu button to open a menu with settings, email, exit, rather the the icons at the top?

For devices with a small screen and lots of roms, every bit of screen space helps.

In any case good work with these projects.

:edit:

I realize this is verison 1.0 and you probably have changes and additions in mind already.

A couple other things I noticed, in Marvel vs Capcom the lower buttons are punches and the uppers are kicks.

And the option to disable sound would be nice.

:edit 2:

I'm having a little trouble mapping hardware buttons. When I press up dpad (on a ps3 controller mapped to the phone's hardware dpad) for the first key, the clear button turns blue (highlighted) and it doesnt map the keypress and move on to the next one. In neodroid the mapping works fine
[Android Apps and Games] TiltMasta:
Works great with the games that are compatible, hope to see more games added in the future and the on screen pad is a bit small would be so much easier if it was enlarged a little bit, but that is my only complaint. This emulator is silky smooth and it's so awesome to bust out STF3 and it play flawlessly!
[Android Apps and Games] BenKranged:
Which CPS2 games are missing?
[Android Apps and Games] metcard:
best emulator I've used on android so far.

I've only tried a handful of games and all ran perfectly on the xperia play.

but rununig slow on my xperia play .
[Android Apps and Games] metcard:
What games are you running that are slow?

Every rom i've played has been silky smooth.

It's the fastest Emulator that i've tried on my XPlay.
[Android Apps and Games] mlbl:
great job! is there a way to access the game menu to set the difficulty settings, etc?
[Android Apps and Games] Cpasjuste:
- You are probably trying to run a "clone" rom, which need the "parent" rom. Look in the "Compatibility" tab (search button), if there is a line with "parent:xx.zip" then you also need "xx.zip" to run your rom.

- You can just use the "back" button of you device to browse to your roms directory, each time you launch a rom this path will be saved as default rom directory.
[Android Apps and Games] Cpasjuste:
- I will see to add an option to change the theme :) (btw: NeoDroid gui is white since a while now)

- Unfortunatly, google now ask developper to not use the "menu" button anymore, so i add to find another way: the menu bar.

- w00t, i see why this is happening for the buttons mapping, i will investigate in this problem and release a fix soon (in a few days)
[Android Apps and Games] Cpasjuste:
- If i'm correct all the CPS2 games are currently supported (except choco which is crap anyway), so i can not add anything else :p

- I do not own a tablet so i tried to do my best but it's hard! I will maximise the dpad size for tablets. Are the buttons size ok ?
[Android Apps and Games] Cpasjuste:
No it only support CPS2 games, i will probably take a look but it wont happen in a near future.
