[HTC One X] Electrostatic King:
Check that you cut it properly. I also cut my sim but later found out that I had cut it wrong. Although it was micro sim in size, still it didn't work because I cut the sim upside down.(cut which was to be on one side was instead on other side).

If you cut it right, then try reboot. That's all. Try on other phones if they read it.
[HTC One X] tiltman71:
I'll go to att and get a real micro sim, do you think its because of my data plan?
[HTC One X] Omega Kaos:
Hi i work for O2 UK and it is not because of your data plan that would just prevent you from accessing the internet, however the cutting down of the sim card could definatly cause some issues, we have quite a few calls with customer calling when they cut the sim down and it is not working
[HTC One X] tiltman71:
OK, thanks, will get a micro sim today and try it, will let you guys know.
[HTC One X] tiltman71:
Ok i got it to work, i went to a att store and got a micro sim. It still didnt work till she took me off the LTE data plan, for just a reg 4g plan.

Got data working also.

Thanks to all that helped.
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
One device all over the world. Available on pretty much every carrier in every country. The internals may be different, but same design.

This is such a huge deal. This means accessories are going to be universal, and allow manufactures to make 1 accessory model, thus increasing the economies of scale and variety.

People can also finally recognize the Galaxy name in the US, no more stupid carrier names nonsense.
[Galaxy S III General] kirdroid:
May be apart from the nexus devices.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
I think this is what happens when you have a strong product that is gonna sell no matter what, you get to dictate things like telling the carriers not to mess with the design and all that stuff. Like apple.
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
I can imagine how the conversation went with VZW execs :-

VZW: So we need space for a big Droid name on the front, and a different case

Samsung: No way

VZW: And of course the button has to go

Samsung: Don't think so

VZW: And we'll be sending you a list of features we want deleted

Samsung: Are you crazy?

VZW: We were thinking Oct 21 is when we announce it, our marketing dept needs to create some new ads

Samsung: Look, STFU! You want this phone, you're gonna do exactly what we tell you, and tell you what, you can;t charge $299 for it either. Got it?
[Galaxy S III General] kirdroid:
Lol ... I'm really wondering how Samsung managed to pull this off . I mean what's in it for carriers to release as is, I think may be they want a serious apple competitor to just keep apple at check and they believe sgs3 is the one :)
[Galaxy S III General] Byonik:
I was thinking just the same. This is a paradigm shift. Android has, by far, the greatest market share among smartphone OSes, but Apple still dominates in hardware. I think this phone could change all of that - especially at $199. Add to that unprecedented custom SW development and accessories.

The bigger question looming is what this means for the rest of the Android OEMs. Aside from offering a better display and aesthetics, how do you compete with something like this? Let's face it, a strong ecosystem is more valuable than any feature these days.
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
More than anything, this signals a shift in power away from the US carriers who are used to getting their own way. Till now, the only company they listened to was Apple.

Hopefully this will encourage HTC etc to let them deliver the phone they designed, and not the carriers. Though some, like Sprint, always managed to make the phone better :)
[Galaxy S III General] Aphova:
I don't live in the US, can someone explain why the carriers do this? What do they gain from releasing a custom device? A competitive edge? The most that happens where I live is the big carriers will sell a device with their logo as the boot animation and a custom app or two. At the extreme their logo is branded on the device.
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
US carriers (and ISP's) are basically a monopoly permitted by our govt (via the FCC) so there is very little competition and no choice for consumers. In the rest of the world you have unlocked phones which share the same GSM network, prepaid plans and its easy to switch. Its the exact opposite here, you pick your carrier, pick the phone they offer and sign a contract.
[Galaxy S III General] BJ van Beethoven:
Even the Samsung Nexus phones have been modified by carriers (don't know about the N1).
[Galaxy S III General] boodies:
Whats there to wonder? samsung said, "you take it as it is, or leave it." Thats all there is to it. That's all samsung had to say.
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
Sounds like you read the article about this exact topic on Android Police and pretty much just highlighted the key points they made. But yeah, big move here. All involved stand to gain nicely from the collaboration so it's a win/win/win/win/win/win/win/win.....you get the point :D
[Galaxy S III General] Aphova:
Funny, here we have the exact same situation but with our fixed line telephones. Only one partially state owned company who abuses their monopoly so badly the effect is measurable in our inflation rate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] joeclark:
How can I get Google voice to work on the Skyrocket? I really dont like VVM. I have used Google voice for my VM for quite some time and would really like to keep on doing it. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SeaDonkey:
Are you getting the "forwarding number change failed" error?

Going to google.com/voice and clicking Activate Google Voicemail button on the number that you want to forward your voicemail to worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] joeclark:
I will try that thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] joeclark:
I am now getting

any ideas
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
I always get that with any ROM I flash.

But Google Voice still works everytime.

Test it out and see.

Thank you, looks like your right! It is working!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jerrygooch:
Any way to get gvoice to show up in the phone app on cm9? I tried setting it up but have yet to have a voicemail show up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garets10:
Just set up ur google voicemail number then go into settings and check the box that says voicemail display and u should have it appear in ur contacts .. u have to be on ics btw (correct me if im wrong)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
Rather than trying to switch the voice mail access number from 'My Carrier' to 'Google Voice' (which fails every time), just change the voice mail access number of the 'My Carrier' option to your Google Voice number, and then manually change the 3 forwarding options to your GV number also. Long press '1' will now access GV VM, and unanswered calls will roll to GV VM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] edgex:
The easiest thing is do the normal steps, when it tells you it fails do not hit OK or Cancel. Just hold power and restart the phone. When you boot back Google voice will be properly selected and it will work correctly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yaba01:
activate phone has worked for me every time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] weezalxc:
I hit the back button instead of rebooting when it says "failed", and that worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ElBeaner:
AT&T has a new thing called AT&T Messages.

Once you install and go through the steps, it migrates your voicemail from VVM to the new format.

In the new format, it will both transcribe right to the phone and make the recording playing from the phone(in case the transcribe didn't work too well - depends on the caller and how noisy it is)

I installed it just for that, and use SMSpro for regular texting.

The other "benefit" is that it will enable you to text from a pc via the online messaging system(and it backs up your texts in the cloud) - handy if you ever forget your phone at home and need to send a text.

I know google voice does soemthing similar, but might be worth a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dislplin01:
So i am finally pulling the trigger and getting the nexus. I am not new to XDA flashing ROMs or even development in general but i have learned the hard way it is better to be safe than sorry. Anyway I live in San Francisco and will be buying the GSM version from the google play store so i will just fire off my questions.

1. so this would be where i go to unlock root and flash a custom recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392310 and on the list my phone would be option 7 correct ???????

2. are there any steps that i should be careful on or just take extra care???

3. Any useful tips in general i will be testing other ROMs and Kernels but will probably end up using AOKP and Franco kernel since i know him from a previous phone.

Thank you in advance and anything you think of that i didn't
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No, use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1529058

Be careful with all commands.

Do nandroid backups before flashing new ROMs so you can always go back to your previous setup.

+1 billion.

At least when you do it manually you will know what went wrong and at what step and if you need to ask for help it will be a lot easier for you to get it of you have that information.

And as a bonus you get to learn! ;)

Learning is fun! :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
There's nothing wrong with the program. It works flawlessly but I know most people on here like to do it the manual way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.m0x:
The script is a horrible way to do things. It's slower than using advice and fastboot directly, unless you are a beginner in which case it still sucks because it's much better to actually take the time to learn how stuff works.... makes it easier to fix things later on.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
One Toolkit argument:

If you "break" your phone in a week/month/year/whatever...

And come back requesting help...

We're MORE than glad to help.

However, you'll find the process of diagnosis and repair to go much more smoothly when you have ADB/Fastboot set up.

Which is really 99% of the work in unlocking/rooting manually.

If you have a bricked device you're

a ) in a panic

b ) not going to be able to tell if the actual ADB/Fastboot set up isn't working...

Or if your device is broken to the point where it won't be recognized even on a working set up.

KNOWING you have ADB/Fastboot set up correctly is, again, %99 percent of fixing your phone.

If you come in and say "adb devices" doesn't show anything it could be TWO possible reasons, rather than one.

Oh...

And learning ftw.

And the fact that adb pushing items to our MTP phones is sometimes easier than using drag-n-drop.

And...you might at one point need this ability to unbrick =].

[HTC One X] freicook:
I really appreciate you putting this together. As with most things on this forum, keeping it in a place where it could be easily discovered is the real trick. God help those of us that ask a question that was asked 2 years ago and is now buried deep within the forum. Lots of Android people get all twisted up about that.

Question: on step 16, did you mean to say "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"? Or is that the Mac/Linux syntax I'm thinking of?
[HTC One X] mikey0105:
oh! thanks, TYPO.. I'll edit it now, its should be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

[HTC One X] ckpv5:
With the latest recovery, there is no need for step 17.

Just connect the cable, the USB Storage is mounted. If it is not pop-up, open your My Computer, you will see the HTC Storage drive. Copy the ROM.zip and flash.

I hope you can help me. I thought I was having the same problem as snowflakesan, but I've tried these steps and I can't get into CWM. I've tried flashing every version I can find of clockworkmod, 5.8.3.1, the fixedadbusb version of 5.8.3.1, and 5.8.4.0. Each time I get stuck on the HTC screen with a message at the bottom saying

"This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action."

I can flash TWRP v2.1.7, but not CWM. TWRP seems to work fine except that I can't transfer any files to the sdcard from TWRP because adb says "device not found."

Any ideas on what to try next?

Do you have clockworkmod 5.8.4.0? Older ones don't work.
[HTC One X] Thomasvh:
Hello everyone,

I'm getting stuk at step 4. I download the given file but it only contains Vista_x64 files, and none of them is a .exe file. So i dont know how to instal the driver.

(in my device manager there is nothing about HTC to be found)

I decided to continue the tutorial by skipping step 4, everything went well untill I had to select the update.zip in the CWM recovery (using v5.8.4.0)

Wen i hit 'apply /sdcard/update.zip' it says the following:

- - Installing: /sdcard/update.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.

When i hit 'choose zip from sdcard' it says the following:

No files found.

So it seems like there is no update.zip in my internal SD card at all. :(

I tried this with 'Android Revolution HD v9.8' and 'CyanogenMod10 v0.15'. I get the same result with both the roms

I was hoping you guys can help me with my phone
[HTC One X] Thomasvh:
A 10.000.000 times thanks. This topic helped me ALOT. I would've donated if I wasn't such a poor student...

Eventually i flashed a boot.img from the original firmware downloaded from these forums, thanks to xda :victory:

For people experiencing the same problem try this link to find the original RUU for your phone

In order to find exactly the right firmware that you need, you need to know your CID

Follow these steps to get your CID:

1. You will need to download fastboot.zip on your PC. Download here

2. Extract Fastboot.zip somewhere you can remember

3. Copy the whole Fastboot folder to your C:/

4. You should have a C:/Fastboot now

5. Shut down your phone and hold the 'power' button and the 'volume down' button to get in bootloader mode

6. Select fastboot

7. Connect your phone to your PC with the USB cable

8. Open Command Prompt by typing 'cmd' in your start menu and press 'Enter'

9. Now typ in cmd: 'cd c:\fastboot' and hit enter

10. Then type in: 'fastboot getvar cid' and hit enter

Now you have your CID

Thanks again, xda, for correcting my mistake :p
