Hi I have the galaxy s3 with wind I rooted it and flashed cm10 works perfectly although I didn't like all features I guess I really just wanted something like stock but with Google now lolol so I got frosty JB both worked great and both are t-mobile what I did notice is that there are some bloatware and the default hot spot settings now say t-mobile although they work Wind HOME still shows up in notification bar and even if it says 3G I'm pretty sure you'll still be getting HSPA+

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nightrise:
I'm attempting to install a custom ROM using ROM manager, but every time I try to install one it won't progress beyond the ROMs custom boot screen. I believe this is because my nexus was encrypted prior to being unlocked and rooted. I don't exactly know how encryption affects a phone long-term, but given the ROMs are essentially freezing where I would hav entered my encryption password, I think this is likely the cause. I did wipe the phone back to a stock image and I am no longer required to enter a password to decrypt my phone on boot-up, though. Any help anyone can provide with this would be greatly appreciated!
[Droid X General] doberman16:
I'm well aware I'm posting in the Droid X forum, but only because it's far more active than any Milestone X forum I've found and I feel that this should be seen, especially by anyone who wants ICS as badly as I did.

After weeks of searching, I was fed up with the lack of documentation on flashing ROMs to the Milestone X, I decided to take the dive. I figured... I have an upgrade coming, so if I totally brick it and they won't fix it, I'll just upgrade to the X2. Don't get me wrong, I know people have flashed it, but the documentation as to what works at what doesn't, the step-by-steps that exist for major carrier phones... just isn't there. And oh by the way, if it is there somewhere. Please direct me to it.

So one problem that I have is that I must have the latest and greatest. If I'm going to upgrade my phone software, I don't want to miss out on any of the fun (mainly ICS). Okay, let's make that two problems, because I can't, for the life of me, find an SBF for my phone with my carrier (Cellcom US)... and here we go.

I discovered this over at RootzWiki which I figured would be a good place to start as far as choosing my ICS ROM:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18589-cyanogenmod-9-unofficial-beta-622/ (All credit for anything related to this ROM goes to x13thangelx)

I downloaded the ROM and Gapps from his links, transferred them to the root of my SD and continued on with the typical Droid X flash method that I've read all over.

First, I loaded up D2 Bootstrapper.

Tapped the first option, waited for "Success!".

Tapped the second option and waited for it to boot into recovery.

Once in recovery, I performed a nandroid backup and then a factory reset... easy enough.

Then I went on to select my CM9 zip file, install it (only took about 60sec, this scared me at first. Literally my first time flashing Android and that just seemed way too fast)

WOW! It succeeded... no errors, nothing. A slight sigh of relief was definitely in order.

I wasn't too concerned that Gapps wouldn't install at this point, and I was right not to be too worried because that went fine too.

Reboot.

Red Motorola M

and voila!

CM9 Loading animation!

I'm playing around with all my new features and things and seeing what does and does not work.

So far, the following is WORKING *out of the box* with no effort on my part:

Data

Voice calls

Camera

Wifi

USB Charge and SD access

Bluetooth (Audio streaming to my aftermarket head unit in my car and Calls are clear... at least I've had no complaints)

What's NOT working:

MMS (probably my fault, APN settings probably wrong)

Chrome - FCs after a few seconds. May already be fixed in a later build

I figured any Droid/Milestone X users could post questions here about my experience and I can be the test dummy to see what works and what doesn't. I literally took about 10min to post this because I'm just so damn pumped to play with my phone. I'll keep an eye on this post and respond to any questions etc that people might have.

p.s. I'm sorry for the formatting of this, it's terrible and probably hard to read. But I was in a rush!
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
It's very good that you documented this! Milestone X users come through here all the time asking questions and I can never give answers.

One small thing though. You skipped the most important step in your outline, creating a nandroid backup. :p
[Droid X General] doberman16:
Oh yes! I did do that. I'll add that in. Notice how the xda app now recognizes my phone as a DX ;-)
[Droid X General] jmgib:
Just out of curiosity, what version were you running on your Milestone X prior to flashing CM9 to it?
[Droid X General] l337m45732:
What features don't work? What are other known issues, and is it stable?
[Droid X General] doberman16:
I was running 2.3.5 Stock Rooted prior to flashing.

Overall stability - No real app crashes to speak of. The Dev Tools app does crash when I select "Google Login Service". I have no idea what this is used for, but I think this is so beyond minor compared to the overall stability. Chrome FCs shortly after opening, but it's definitely trying to work. I suspect the Dev will have that working soon enough.

Battery life seems normal... slightly less than I'm used to because I'm playing with it so much more, but that will level out and I'm sure it should end up the same or better overall.

I should also mention, it is blazing fast. I'm not sure if I'm the only one with this issue on this phone, but Live Wallpapers have always been way too big of a performance hit for what they're worth. They're great to show off, but it's pretty disappointing not to have a smooth scroll from screen to screen with LWP on, so I never used it. I tested the LWPs on this ROM and they're all *butter* smooth! I was amazed! I'm very sensitive to dips in frame rate and there is hardly a hiccup between a normal wallpaper and LWP on this ROM!

Chrome is currently not working (FC shortly after opening, as stated above) - this is stated by the Dev, but it looks like some of the newer versions of it are working (with some other features being temporarily broken in exchange)

MMS is not working, but that is (I think) user error. I have my APNs backed up and a personal friend who works for my carrier is going to be verifying that I have correct settings just in case. When I attempt to add those APNs in, everything is fine until I add in the "APN Type" which according to my backed up settings, the value should be "mms". As soon as I save that value, the entire APN setting itself disappears from the list or no longer has a radio button to select it. I did make some changes to build.prop to match my carrier, but those didn't seem to help any.

If anyone here has any idea where to go with the MMS, I'd appreciate it. It seems like it's just a simple setting thing and once I figure that out, I'll be golden.

Cellcom APN info that I have so far (for anyone who wishes to help me tackle this):

apn name="Cellcom"

numeric="31060"

mcc="310"

mnc="60"

apn="internet"

user="null"

server="*"

password="null"

proxy="66.255.055.023"

port="9201"

mmsproxy="null"

mmsport="null"

mmsprotocol="null"

mmsc="http://mms.cellcom.com/cellcom/mms.php"

type="mms"
[Droid X General] jmgib:
Have you been able to get the MMS working.?
[Droid X General] doberman16:
So far, still no MMS. I am successfully now on the latest build from 7/15.

Chrome is now working, awesome! However the tradeoff (I'm told) is that video playback and Netflix are temporarily not working in this build. I haven't tried either, but it's pretty widely confirmed to not be working over on the Rootzwiki thread.

I'm working a bit with different forums trying to get this MMS pinned. The biggest issue I'm having is figuring out what MMS relies on. Everyone has their "this will fix it" claims. But it's usually a one or two step process like an MMS.apk or changing an apn setting, etc. I'm sure all these things have something to do with it, but what really needs to happen is someone to say:

"Alright, MMS is comprised of these 5 files and these 8 settings. Modify these to match your network, and it should work."

*shrug* still waiting on that magical rockstar dev to come along lol
[Droid X General] freakboy13:
Wow...it MUST be a completely deserted island because the dx forums are just a bunch of us ghosts hanging around....lol

Don't bother with getting the dx2 you will be severly disapointed .

I am hoping to swap mine for something else soon.

Nice job on the research though!
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Sadly, most developers just recommend using GoSMS as a workaround to MMS issues.

I'm sure in due time something will come out of the water work, though.
[Droid X General] doberman16:
I was told the same by my carrier that the X2 is nothing but problems. Plus it's just not worth $100 to gain essentially just dual core.

Progress with mms has been basically nothing. I was told to try a slightly different address for mms to at least gain receive capability. That have me a different error, but still no pics coming through. I feel as though I've tried everything I can find with no progress.

In the other hand, the Rom itself has been fairly solid. Very few fcs and even fewer reboots. The dev doesn't claim any of the releases to be perfectly stable so issues are expected, but minor.

Chrome is blazing fast and so nice to use. It literally feels like 4g speeds compared to any browser I've used.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm mostly happy with it and definitely had happier than stock. Hopefully other Milestone X users will give it a try. I know there are others that have tried and have working mms on their carrier, so my experience is basically worst case scenario.

***Edit***

Funny how it shows that I posted from a Droid X. Psych! Lol
[Droid X General] jmgib:
I'm itching to give it a try, but the lack of an .sbf gives me pause.
[Droid X General] jmgib:
Yeah my issue is that there hasn't been an .SBF released/found for my carrier. If I were to break something I would pretty much be stuck.
[Droid X General] doberman16:
Understandable. What carrier again? Sometimes the brand on the sbf isn't important. Ntelos worked fully for me even though I'm on Cellcom. I was shocked. Even my carrier had no idea I was on another carrier's Rom when they saw my phone in person.
[Droid X General] jmgib:
I'm on Appalachian Wireless. It's a small CDMA carrier in KY.
[Droid X General] unonice:
I have a Motorola Milestone X running Gingerbread 2.3.5, CDMA, and my carrier is Alltel.. I have never rooted before.. I'm a Newbie... I was wondering if you or anyone else can give me instructions or something, on how to root my phone.. Also how to unroot, get roms, ect.. I want to change my boot screen too.. Please Respond.. Thanks
[Droid X General] doberman16:
Well I never did figure out the MMS. I kind of got sick of forcing an old phone to do things that the newer phones are doing. I cancelled my small carrier and switched to Sprint and got the SGS3 for a steal ($100). Couldn't say no to that... Now I have a new toy to root and flash >:D And I will gladly leave behind the days of hunting for hours for solutions to issues relating to my small carrier.

I suppose this thread could be closed, unless someone else wants to continue on with it. I was glad to have gotten ICS on the phone, but I've now flashed it back to stock and given it to mom (aw, how sweet).

Now... back to my toy....
[Droid X General] jmgib:
Good luck with that. Honestly Sprint would be my last choice in carriers probably. Their pricing is ok, but where I am they have exactly 1 tower (and that is only because there is currently a Sprint support call center here). Everything else roams off the carrier I currently have. I had a friend who tried to use Sprint but got into trouble over his data usage since he was using too much roaming data (again, because they only have 1 native tower).

I've considered either going back to ATT or going with Verizon when my contract expires next Spring. We'll see. App Wireless is supposed to start lighting up some 4G LTE panels next month and are one of the Verizon rural partners. It's rumored that the Razr Maxx will be their first 4G phone though they should also be getting the next iPhone as well which should also be 4G.

I've also considered switching to an iPhone if I stay with them just so that I can at least easily stay on the current firmware release, but I don't know if I can do it. I really like my Androids and really don't agree with Apple's business practices.

Dude.. Can someone help me.. I am trying to root my Milestone X running Gingerbread 2.3.5.. I'm using Super One Click version 2.3.3 0... When I click root, I get a message.. Unknown Device

HDAUDIO\FUNC_02&VEN_11C1&DEV_1040&SUBSYS_107B0690&REV_1002

Would you like me to forcefully install an Android ADB Interface Driver for this device?

Okay so I don't know if I should click "yes" or "no".. Please help.. Someone
[Droid X General] doberman16:
Idk how much help this is, but that error is related to the sound card in your computer. I my best guess is that you didn't install the Motorola drivers. Super one click always worked for me, but you need the drivers installed first.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I'm not sure about SuperOneClick, but I know that the ZergRush method can be used to root .604.
[Droid X General] unonice:
Ok. I installed the drivers already , but i guess i will unistall them from my PC , then reinstall them again ..maybe they didnt install properly or something .. QUESTION : when i get the drivers, should i connect my phone to my PC , then run drivers exe ...? Or run drivers exe without phone connected to PC ?? .. Or does it matter ?

My phone says "drivers updated to newest version" , after i run exe , ..

Question : does the bootloader have to be unlocked ..or something ,before i try to root ..?

I never root anything before ,so forgive me for asking so many questions ..i am tryinv to be careful and not brick my phone or lose the Radio Signal of my carrier ..

Please continue to help me ..i appreciate it very much .. Please respond .. Thanx .. I'm still reading more about my phone and other blogs and post ,to see if i can resolve my issue and learn a little more about what i am actually doing ..

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------

Ok... I will try to check out your method , .. Question : will i be able to unroot with this method ? (i have never root befrore ,so ibam looking for the simplest, and safest method) .. Also, does the bootloader or anything have to be unlocked for me to root my phone ? Sorry if i am asking NOB questions , but i really dont know much about rooting ..i appreciate your help and response ..please continue to help me .. there really aren't any threads, blogs, posts, ect about how to root my phone .. I guess its the odd ball model ..lol ...even though its tge exact same phone as the Motorola Droid X , with apparently enough small minor changes to make a difference .. I don't see the difference , but hey, i'm a NOB ..

Please respond .. Thanx for your time and patience .. I really want to learn how to root and add custome roms, change bootloader ,ect ..i want to learn everything :D
[Droid X General] jmgib:
The bootloader being locked means you can't simply use fastboot to unlock the device and install root. The Droid/Milestone X also prevents us from installing non-stock kernels to the phone which would make developing custom ROMs much better.
[Droid X General] unonice:
@jmgib... Ok, so Questions : 1 - can my phone be rooted?

I have a Motorola Milestone X running Gingerbread 2.3.5

2 - are there any roms that are available for my phone?

3 - can you help me root?

I tried SuperOneClick root method again.. But same message.. Unknown Device HDAUDIO \ FUNC_02... ect... Would you like to forcefully install an Android ADB Interface Driver for this device?.. Yes or No..

So I discontinued the process..

I was told to try another method called "zergrush"... Either way, I still don't know how to root using either method..

Please Respond.. Thanks
[Droid X General] unonice:
@infazzdar... Can you help me root my phone...? Please Respond.. Thanks.. I never rooted before and apparently, you have done it with the same device I have a Motorola Milestone X running Gingerbread 2.3.5.. My carrier is Alltel..

Please Respond.. Thanks :D
[Droid X General] unonice:
ok.. can you help me root my phone ? i don't know how .. please respond ..i am trying to root my Milestone X running Gingerbread 2.3.5.. I'm using Super One Click version 2.3.3 0... When I click root, I get a message.. Unknown Device

if you know another method , thats fine too .. but i need help , because i never root before and i really don't know what i'm doing ..

PLEASE RESPOND
[Droid X General] doberman16:
Really your best bet is to look up rooting in the Droid X forum. I'm not sure what you're doing wrong and since I don't have the phone anymore, I can't help much. This thread should really get closed since I'm not involved with the Milestone or Droid X...

I had a droid x that I had in my pocket with heavy knives, keys, coins, etc and only got those very small scratches where you could only see them if it was held in the light at the correct angle. I've had this phone for less than a week and it has a deep scratch that my fingernail can grab onto.

Something that can go through Gorilla Glass won't be stopped by a flimsy screen protector. It would have made no difference.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Potato tomato:
Not a lot you can do. Some people say putting a screen protector over a scratch can hide it some extent.

Replacing the screen on the cheap is out of the question. It's basically attatched to another part which means you have to replace two parts.

I don't have a screen protector, starting to think I should!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poker gypsy:
Gorilla glass not scratch proof! And yes the right screen protector will stop scratches
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] easycure1974:
Of course a screen protector should have helped. Just a tiny bit of sand can ruin the screen completely. With a screen protector just it should have been wasted and not the screen

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShannonAUT:
Same here, I take real care of my mobiles. My old i9000 doesn't even sport one scratch after two years while the i9300s screen is littered with them. Not really sure why though, but I think it might be the flip cover. (tiny bit of sand on it and bye bye screen)

Right now I am not too bothered with it, I'm going to get the screen replaced in two weeks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akimity:
I was wondering too if it was weaker on the SGS3 but probably not. I was hoping they had some sort of fix for scratches. I know clear nail polish will remove a scratch on glass albeit temporary. I may see how that works. It still baffles me though that 2 years and no scratches on the droid x and 3 days and I got a nice deep one on this newer phone. I guess I just had bad luck.

For the person who wrote about fraud...you're a douche. Verizon had no problem downgrading me from unlimited after I upgraded well before the expiration. I did get that back with a phone call, but they had no problem attempting fraud. If there was a known minor issue with the first release phones you bet I would try to work that into getting a new one and pretend as if the flaw was affecting my usage. I know that's a stretch but there are some smart people on this forum who can think of just about anything.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poker gypsy:
Yes applying a screen protector will hide scratches,I have them in my phone,I was very careful with my phone and I got them! I put a screen protector and you can't see them, yes it makes the phone not look that great but it's better then scratches!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Your argument is that this should not be happening on gorilla glass, especially not on 3rd gen glass. It's a faulty glass, some of the white ones had bad gorilla glass and was easy scratched.i have never used a screen cover and never had a scratch (2 sgs,2 gs2 +1 gs3) over 2 year period.

and it should be replaced be the phone warrenty and not the insurance.

This is your argument,if they eat it or not that depends.
