[HTC One S] Charkatak:
Yes with 2 year contract! There is one weird thing that happed. I had an older data plan which had unlimited fot $20. It was before the time when T-Mobile introduced 2G/5 and 10GB plans. On all other phones that I had including: Galaxy S and S 4G, Galaxy Nexus, Nokia Win 7 phone and so on, I was able to use Wifi HotSpot with that old data plan. Now when I got HTC One S, it stopped working and every time I wanted to activate hotspot on my phone, a page would open up, stating that I need to pay for $15 extra... So I called customer care and told them the above story. She told me that my plan is old and about 6 months ago the company started to monitor and charge users for hotspot service. She said I would have to pay $35 total. So at the end I made her do it for $20 for 2 year. So now I have new plan with 5GB+hotspot. I think phones with Android 4+ t-mobile started to block users without hotspot plan. So you know.
[HTC One S] lonoguge:
Wow that sucks! I'm assuming that since you're on xda your phone is rooted which means you can get FREE wifi tethering apps in fact that's one of the main reason people root in the first place. You should look onto it if you don't already know by now. Its just what you need!
[HTC One S] Charkatak:
I have a newer data plan with hotspot for the same price as was my old one, so I am happy. :)

First, I know you are going to ask me to search threads started by other people. I did.

And almost every single one of them wanted me to go to "download mode". The problem is I cant go into download mode no matter how long i pressed the 3 button combination.

So, I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy SII, and things got out of control. It went to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..."

I've tried other methods in the forums too, and nothing works. Flashing firmwares dont work for me too.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] adfurgerson:
This looks like a good place for you to start

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1197248&highlight=how+to+root+rogers
[Samsung Infuse 4G] threi_:
First thing to do of course is read, read, read. Understanding what you are doing and why you are doing it is the most valuable resource you can have.

The gist of it is though: to install the custom updated roms, you need root. For Rogers infuse users that is very easy to do; all you have to do is install a rooted kernel in odin. After you do that you make a nandroid (and/or EFS) backup, and install whatever rom you want. CM9 and CM10 have their own kernel, so don't worry about that.

adfurgerson posted the step-by-step guide above me, although the links in the OP may be down. I have the mirrors here: http://minus.com/moAvVibed/

the 3 files in there are:

Odin_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.zip - This is the rooted kernel you are flashing

Odin_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.zip - This is the stock rogers unrooted kernel if you want to unroot and go COMPLETELY stock for whatever reason (I doubt you will ever need to use this tbh)

Odin_UXKG3_rooted_no_bootloaders_v2.zip - The stock Rogers FIRMWARE. If you ever mess up you use this to "start from scratch". You will still be rooted though if you don't use the stock kernel above.

So yeah, just flash the kernel in odin as described in the above thread and you will have root + cwm.

From there you reboot into cwm (turn off, turn on holding vol+ and vol- buttons) and make a nandroid backup of your stock rogers rom (or an EFS backup with the infuse toolkit: click here), flash CM9 as per the instructions in the OP, and finally CM10 as per the instructions in the OP.

Also remember:

1. The infuse is almost impossible to hard brick. The only real way to do so is to improperly flash bootloaders, which a rogers infuse user will never have to do. Only AT&T users coming from Froyo have to do it. So keep that in mind.

2. On the chance that you get soft-bricked (screen won't go past samsung logo for example) you can always go back to flashing the stock rom/rooted kernel again in odin and start all over again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adfurgerson:
The only thing that I can add to Threi's excellent reply is to mention the one click to ICS. It is in the first post of Scott's CM10 thread,it should give you the ICS recovery that is needed to flash JB without flashing a full ICS ROM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] j.smith:
I suppose I should have mentioned that I also have rooted my phone already (used SuperOneClick, worked fine). Is there any reason why I would use that "rooted kernel" versus just having root on my phone (ie, having su installed... dunno what else it did, I don't think it did anything to my kernel)?

I guess my biggest unknown is all the backup processes that can be done and how to do them? Is "nandroid" a one stop shop for doing backups of everything? Although there's the complete stock Rogers rom linked above (which I'll nab anyways!), I was thinking I would try to make a complete copy of my own phone (just in case)... I guess next step is to search for "nanroid" :)

Are there any other backup tools I could use/check out (not apk backup tools... those are easily located in the app store, or performed with adb myself).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adfurgerson:
Flashing a kernel is how you obtain cwm which allows you to flash custom ROMs(cwm is clockwork mod recovery). A nandroid is a backup you create in cwm that is copy of your phone that will return your phone to the exact state it was at the time backup was made.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] j.smith:
Aha, perfect description. I didn't realize I had to get a new kernel to have CWM... and I'm guessing because of signing and such, that a custom kernel (with CWM) is required in order to flash a non-signed rom, which is why you couldn't just do it on stock, right?

Ok, so now armed with that info that clears up a lot, I guess I have just one question left (which I can probably find the answer to with some searching). I have read what that voodoo lagfix is and is this something that is standard now on all kernels (because if it can cause issues, I'd rather just have a kernel without it)? Are there any "rooted" kernels without the lagfix built in so I don't have to remember about disabling the lagfix? ...or is there a way to install CWM on to my current kernel?

*edit* Ok, I realize I might be a bit too picky about the voodoo lagfix thing. I found two good threads on dealing with Rogers specifically, so I'll read over those (and suck it up about voodoo) and see how it goes. Since my vacation got unfortunately cancelled due to a sick kid, I have some time to experiment this weekend... hopefully ending up with JB on my phone!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adfurgerson:
Glad to see your on you're on the way to JB. After you install a custom kernel be sure to make a nandroid in the backup and restore option of CWM before you flash a ROM. That is like your safety net, if you wiped everything and had a bad download that wouldn't install, you will have a nandroid to restore.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] j.smith:
Yep, just flashed the rooted cwm kernel and performed a backup. I read somewhere that you can/should back up your efs in case you lose your imei... so I'm just going to quickly look in to that, then i wipe and do some flashes to jb... shouldn't take long hopefully!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] j.smith:
Ok, I seem to be stuck at trying to get the one-click ICS install to work. I've got the EZUpdater package to ensure I have the right drivers, yet everything I try with the one-click seems to tell me that the drivers aren't installed and then launches an installer which also doesn't seem to detect the phone... yet EZUpdater will run fine, etc...

I'm just about to reboot and launch device driver in a mode to list all hidden/previously installed devices and nuke them from history to hopefully purge my system of all traces of any drivers and install EZUpdater one more time to get the drivers installed.

Any reason why my phone wouldn't show up in this one-click (it uses heimdall or whatever) program, but seems to work in most everything else (adb even runs fine)?

*edit*

Got it all working! I couldn't get the one-click ICS to work for the life of me... it just didn't see the drivers even though they were there and working. I guessed maybe it had to do with me running Windows 7 x64 and having x64 drivers, but the one-click maybe being 32bit. I even tried installing the x64 Java JRE but didn't seem to make any difference.

I ended up having to flash CM9 which worked fine, then going to CM10. Had no issues doing that... wish I had just tried that before since that one-click wasted hours of my day and got me somewhat frustrated!

Hey guys

Looking to jump from Sprint (bad service area, was getting yearly upgrades but no longer, don't use gobs of data). I run a YMCA and have 4 lines to move. If I was an individual I could get an 8% discount as a Y employee but if I set up the account as a business account (which I have to do) I don't. Seems odd to me.

Not trying to be overly greedy. I just want to get the best deal I can but it is looking like all they are offering are waived activations and free S2's, which I would get an an individual Y person as well. I like the S2 (my current Sprint phone) but if I switch I was planning on getting the S3 and they quoted me $230.

Any advice on corporate stuff and/or saving a few bucks? I'm all about the Washingtons...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crazaytalent:
well not sure if this helps or is line with what your looking for, but me and the mrs just switch to T-mobile week before last, and I did some reseach and found out about this BOGO deal they are doing for the galaxy s3 and other galaxy devices... I took advantage of it, and got mysefl the s3 while the wife got the s2, so I know its accurate... it last until sept 4th, but if you can afford the up front fee's, you could get back a couple of mail in rebates to offset the punch in the pocket?

Have you tried contacting their cancellation department? Similar to retention for sprint.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bradleyw801:
I didn't qualify for any discounts because I work for a small business. However, my mother works for the University of Utah Hospital, and they get a 15% discount, plus waived activation fees. The rep told me that if I make her an authorized user on the account, I can use her discount, even if she doesn't have a line. So I have a line for my wife and I, and my mom is an authorized user.

She did have to come in with her employee badge to activate the discount. And I guess if my mother and I ever had a falling out, she could close the account, or lock me out, or something crazy like that, but I am not too worried about it.

If you know you someone that you wouldn't mind making an authorized user, and they are employed by someone getting a better discount, you could try it. I know some of the better discounts are UPS, Wells Fargo, and Frito Lay to name a few.

Update

After emailing their business support I was contacted by a local rep for business accounts. Here's is what I am being offered:

6 lines

4000 Shared minutes

5 gb data on each line

Unlimited text

~$350.00 per month (Should have exact amount tomorrow)

$150 Port in credit for each line (2 of which will go towards ETFs)

Device prices were a little "meh?" but he was going to go back and check and get exact numbers tomorrow. He did say we could get the Exihibit for free but I think the S3 price was ~ $250?

Upgrade time was 15 months but he did describe it as a scalable thing so I don't know how much that will compare with other 22 month upgrade times.

This sounds a lot better than before but I am curious to see the devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codacrawford:
I have been most recently running AOKP Milestone 6, and flashed to the JB build last night. I wiped, cleared cache, etc, and everything was fine; I went about restoring my apps and settings. My battery died shortly thereafter and now I'm stuck in an endless boot loop.

I tried restoring my backup, but still get the boot loop. I've even went as far as restoring my stock recovery of 4.0.3, but get "error restoring /data" when doing so.

How boned am I? I'd love to avoid going all the way back to factory settings and lose my data.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foxehkins:
Did you try to just reflash the ROM itself that you were using? If that doesn't work just wipe everything again and reinstall. If you have app backups it's no biggie.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modernbummer:
Did you flash a new bootloader or anything? Flashing the latest JB bootloader might help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
There's a thought that JB may run a file system check during the early boot phase in certain situations which is causing a lot of people to freak out because the phone stays at the Google splash screen for a long time. It's been reported that if you wait it out (can take up to tens of minutes) your phone should boot up normally.

I've myself have ran into this problem a few times but I've never tried waiting it out. What I've done is boot into CWM and use adb to pull the contents of my internal storage (/data/media) which includes my nandroid backups and then use "fastboot -w" to wipe the entire userdata partition. Afterwards I let the phone boot up to rebuild the userdata partition, copy my internal storage backup, and restore my nandroid backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codacrawford:
I'm not stuck at the splash screen, it loops through the splash screen and the boot animation. Could you give me a little more detail on the process of pulling my data through adb?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ifly4vamerica:
Try this, wipe /system then reflash your old ROM again. Once that's flashed wipe davlik and cache and try a reboot. That should keep your data intact and just reload your old rom. Then you can renandroid and reflash.

Edit: just for safe measures makes sure you have any kernel software or tweaks disabled when you flash the new JB build. Of course if you are doing a clean install this won't matter. You just want to make sure things like overclocking or undervolting aren't crossong over to the new ROM, as say a 1.8 overclock might work on ICS kernel but not on a JB kernel. Hopefully that makes sense.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
If all fails, use adb to pull all the important files, then use adb to push super wipe, and then flash it using your recovery. This will make sure that it wipes EVERYTHING. After that, just use adb to push Rom of your choice and then flash it.
