sch-r760 rooted, use on other cdma services?

So i have my us cellular galaxy s2 phone rooted with some app exnos abuse or something like that. What i am wondering is if there is some way to get this phone to work with other cdma services such as verizon, verizon prepaid, straight talk, or even U-Prepaid( i guess this is us cellular, but they wont let you use a us cellular contract phone... Say what!?) Just so we are all on the same page, i am very much a noob when it comes it flashes and kernals. I used to toy around with flashing basic verison phones so that they would run java apps, but thats about it(lg phones turned into super nintendo).

I have searched around, but the only thread i found asking this same thing had no solution and a bunch of ppl complaining how it was on the wrong forum. So i thought i could post here? I hope nobody minds overly much.

Anyway, if this is possible i would love to hear from someone maybe get me pointed in the right direction.

I aslo read that verizon will not add meid numbers to their database. Do you think it would be possible to take the ein and meid of a verizon basic phone and put them on my device? Would i be able to get 3g if i did ths or do you think they would view ot as a basic phone on verizon's zide?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicinwang:
For the MEID swap NO. It's basically your phones fingerprint, assigned to that device built in to the hardware . Although you could clone another phone if its the same,but that is a felony. So I wouldn't try it. But flashing to another carrier, would require the stock files for that particular device. I.e if ur going from say Alltel phone to USSC you could flash USSC stock file to your phone. But it would basically have to be the same model GS2>GS2 and hardware.etc
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jobey5000:
really?

What so to clone the meid of one device i own to another device i own is a felony? I bet that freakin FCC is behind this!

That aside, i've seen people talking about scripts that allow a user to install a newer android version from a similar device on another network, then the script edits the back to be able to use uscc, is there any way i can manually edit these settings so that i can connect to another network? I'm sure i can convince someone at straight talk to add my meid to their cdma service if their towers see my device. What with that new thing they offer send u a sim card for any gsm phone. Can anyone point me in the right dicection on switching carriers this way?

Uhg sometimes text entry gets so glitchy on this thing, makes it hard to go back and chamge aomething when my curser is out of place five characters, this is my excuse for any the spwllig issues.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicinwang:
Yes it's the FCC!!

You can add/change/delete apn's there are several apps for this or you can manually do it. Not sure though if it'll help with another carrier. Have you called and asked which carries they can use? You may be able to just flash a rom for that carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SirRhor:
Greetings.

I've been trying some ICS ROMs on my US 5.0 Player but I decided to just go back to GB.

I flashed what I had before, Eryigit 3.5, nothing out of the ordinary, while it was charging. Everything went well.

At one point I turned it off, while still charging.

And when I tried to turn it on again I couldn't. Instead of the Samsung logo that would normally appear, only the "waiting" android sign showed up (8 lines forming a circle), sometimes the charging battery animation, even if it is unplugged, but nothing else.

I've tried to flash stock GB ROMs on Odin, flash Entropy's kernel on Odin as well, and it boots normally when the process is finished.

I had soft bricks which I solved, but when I try to flash the stock ROM with PIT files on Odin, it wouldn't go past "Setup Connection".

Right now I can go to Download Mode but not much else.

Any help would be appreciated.

From my GNote. That's all.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
I'm sure you did this, but did you flash the correct version kernel for either the us or international variants? This is the only thing that ever caused me a soft brick. Was stuck in boot loop, but was able to get into recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SirRhor:
Yeah, I used the right ROM and kernel, for the US version of the Galaxy Player 5.0. :(

From my GNote. That's all.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] safariking:
Flash back with odin tou your stock samsung rom and then try it again!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
Next thing to try, any chance you

Can verify that the drivers are okay on the computer? When I was running erigit, my computer did not recognize my device in mass storage mode (debugging off), I had to uninstall Kies and reinstall, drivers got updated... Weird.

Could the bad Odin flash be driver related?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] safariking:
That's just driver related try to reinstall the drivers!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SirRhor:
I've reinstalled Samsung drivers like 10 times. Each time I had a soft brick I had to install Heimdall drivers and then reinstall the Samsung ones to use Odin, so no, I don't think it's driver related.

From my GNote. That's all.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
No recovery mode at all, just download? Have you tried a different usb cable? Had that issue with droids. After that, I'm at a loss until I do some digging.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SirRhor:
I can get to recovery only after I flash a ROM with Odin and then I restart it with a special toggle to go to recovery. But if I turn the device off, no recovery for me, only Download Mode, so I guess something is needed up with the bootloader.

I will try a different cable tonight when I'm home. Thank you for the suggestion.

From my GNote. That's all.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
Ok, seeing as recovery is pirated in, what about re rooting using super one click to unlock that bootloader (again?). Can't see how it would have re locked, but could explain the rom not being able to run or recovery not accessible. Would make sense that this could be bootloader related.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SirRhor:
Well, I've tried everything I know.

Reflashed with Odin, and everything works perfectly up to the point I turn the device off. After that, no reboot for me.

Maybe a damaged partition, a damaged bootloader, who knows.

Tomorrow is waiting for me a trip to Best Buy; fortunately I got the extended warranty and I unrooted the device before turn it off.

Thank you for the responses I got, I really appreciate it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubieta:
I just bought the S3's HDMI adapter, everything works fine BUT the image is a bit cropped at the borders on my TV.

After researching a bit I've found that in other Android devices going into Settings->Display there should be an option to set something to 'fit screen' or 'overscan' or something, but in my phone I can't find such settings, I can't find anything related to HDMI! Does anyone know where can I find some thing to configure my HDMI settings so the image isn't cropped?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph10m:
Usually that depends on settings on the actual monitor or TV, most tvs have the option to change aspect or other zoom settings :)

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexx910:
I also have searched a lot for these Settings, but there isnt any thing you can configurate in your s3 to control the connector. I know, sad but true :/

Maybe samsung will implent this feature in future updates, but its just a thing you can hope about.

at the moment I am also screwed with my tv, cause it isnt even 1080p and doesnt support mhl, so my picture is too big onscreen, so I can see only 90% of the stuff at my phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pugger:
Yeah Samsung need to fix it! My monitors and tvs are all 1080p 60hz capable but the s3 defaults to 1080i and I get flicker making it unusable,.

Fix it Samsung!!!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] man10101:
Hello

From what ive seen on here and other forums this is a very common problem with no real solution!?!

Am thinking that theres no fix but thought id ask before i give up so here goes!!

I have a samsung galaxy ace gt-s5830 which was originally on o2 uk that i wanted to use on vodafone uk

I managed to root the phone and get the unlock code from the phone via the bml5.img and the XVI32 Hex Editor

I then unrooted the phone put in the new sim and entered the unlock code

The phone now says vodafone uk on the lock screen but doesnt have any signal!?!

It still has an imei and baseband number and ive checked that the imei number isnt blocked

Ive also checked that all locks are off via samsung code *#7465625#

I have flashed the firmware to UK Gingerbread 2.3.6. using odin 4.38 and a one package tar.md5 file, wiped caches and rebooted etc

but the problem still remains!?!?!

Other than the no signal problem the phone works perfect and also when i take the sim card out theres signal?!?!

One other thing When ever i reboot the phone /system/csc/o2u/system cant be found although ive read this has nothing to do with the signal problem?!?

If anyone has any ideas or needs any further info then please let me know

I am new (probably pretty obviously!) to all this so please keep replys as simple as pos!!!

Many thanks

Matt
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matias.s:
hi matt first of all..

1. did you try another firmware?

2. you follow correctly the method to flash firmwares on odin?

seems to me that your download was corrupted, or you didn't flash properly on odin.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
Its not a good thing to touch the bml5 partiton wich contains our imei ... even tough u unlocked it successfully you may have made some files corrupted wich can cause that ...

A major way to know this is ... does your previous sim aquire network?

And just to inform the error message is really not relevant ... csc function is to "inform kies" so it can do update your android version to the rom of your Country/Carrier.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] man10101:
Hello and thanks for both your replys

Firstly to answer matias.s

These are the instructions i followed to flash the fw

Flashing the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 Firmware

1/. Enter Download mode by pressing and holding Volume down, select and power button simultaneously

2/. Connect phone to computer and open the Odin Multi Downloader v4.38 (it should show the com port it is connected on)

3/. For OPS, browse and select Cooper_v1.0

4/. For One Package, select the MD5 flash file attached and click start. (The attached firmware is for UK Gingerbread

2.3.6. You may use any firmware at this stage)

5/. Enter Diagnostic mode by pressing and holding select and power button simultaneously and clear caches

6/. Root the Samsung Galaxy Ace using the root.zip update

7/. Download, install and Open Root Explorer (File Manager) from Android Market

8/. Add Directory csc/system/XEU/system and move files over from CSC/system

9/. Enter Diagnostic mode again by pressing and holding select and power button simultaneously and clear caches

10/. Unroot the Samsung Galaxy Ace using the unroot.zip update

11/. Enter Diagnostic mode once again by pressing and holding select and power button simultaneously and clear caches

Odin came up with pass at the end

The only instruction i didnt follow exactly was 8

Firstly it wouldnt let me create the folder and then when i went into my directory there was already a /system/csc/XEU/system which had files

Could this be the problem?!?

And to answer snowpluralism

The sim im using works fine in other devices and as i said in the op the phone even has signal until a sim is inserted!?!

Update...

I flashed the fw again with a vodafone one package md5 via odin Odin passed the download and the phone is now branded with vodafone logo and apps

It is now on android version 2.3.5 build number gingerbread.buks but still has no signal

One strange thing when i first turned the phone on after the download it updated and downloaded vodafone apps and in the phone status said it was connected under mobile network state even though it still had no signal?!?

Thanks again for your replys and any ideas again please let me know!!

And thanks to snowpluralism for explaining about the csc error That explains why kies cant update my fw!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kofiaa:
When you check your imei is it correct?

Yeah the imei is correct and ive checked its not been blocked?!?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Dermen:
Was curious if anybody has tried the cheap car mounts on ebay. I can't post links but they are model specific and around $6. There is one for the Inc2 and a slightly different one for the IncS.

If you wanted to search for them on ebay the titles are:

FOR HTC Droid Incredible 2 CAR MOUNT CRADLE HOLDER dock

Car Mount Holder Cradle For HTC Incredible S G11

I've been thinking about getting one to see if it is total garbage or not and thought maybe somebody else has already done that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
It should work just fine if you are not using a protective case on your DI2 - however, I do not like using these windshield mount, like GPS mount, as it's an open invitation for someone to break car windows looking for something of value in a grab & run.

I got something similar but a generic one with A/C vent mounting - horizontal style for a few dollars off eBay, great when using Google Map/Nav. on the go - the old Garmin has long retired even w. 2 updates.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Dermen:
I would throw the mount in the glove box when not in use. Was thinking about trying one of those bean bag things that just sit on the dash. Seems a lot easier than trying to undo the suction cup or the vent mount all the time.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] anantgupta:
Hey,

I am getting an issue with my phone all of a sudden.

When i connect to charger it shows battery charged 100%, when i remove it phone switch off automatically.

I checked the battery and it works fine on my friend's galaxy Ace. I tried using his battery but same issue again.So it has nothing to do with the battery.

I deleted batterystats,bin also but no help, tried flashing stock rom again and same issue.

Is it has to do with hardware ?? My phone is out of warranty so hardware issues are unbearable for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] gabyif:
Do you have a GB based rom?If no install one,or an official firmware and see if the error persists.If it persists go to a Samsung Service :D.

Don`t forget to press THANKS :D
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] anantgupta:
Yep I have GB...tried most of the roms now. I guess it's an hardware issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] gabyif:
Yeah maybe,better is to go to a Samsung Service and tell them about the problem.But don't tell them that you changed firmwares ;) and put a GB firmware.Hope I helped you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheManInYourSoup:
Ok so, since I am new to actually USING XDA. It wont let me post into that thread to ask this question, even though I have searched it up and down for answers. I do understand that the OP(randomblame) says that there is a black screen issue after unlocking the device. I don't have that issue. What I DO have is very odd and not mentioned. On specific apps, the screen will go blank to just a backlight if I click on something. For example, in the phone app I can dial the number and everything is fine, as soon as I hit the call button, screen goes blank backlight. Same thing happens when watching video on youtube app, or hitting the search button. I always have to lock it, then unlock it to get my screen back. This is especially a problem when someone is calling, no screen.

Very wordy yes, if you need me to clarify I'd be happy to. Thanks for any help
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
I read somewhere that this happens even on the cm10 version and no fix or direct cause has been found yet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jlochamy:
I had the same issues. Used beta 13 with no problems but tried the release version 5 and 7. Still had black screen. Tried 7.2 and so far it will do it but not as much.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
That actually sounds more like a separate known backlight bug, one where the screen goes off on system sounds. The devs know about it and are working on it. All JB Ace ROMs have it to some degree. A workaround to make it happen less is to turn off all system sounds in Settings -> Sounds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jlochamy:
After using jelly time 7.2 for half a day black screen bug came back. Now I am back to beta 13.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jlochamy:
The code fire and unofficial cm10 nightly roms have been fixed as far as black screen bug.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheManInYourSoup:
Thanks for the responses everyone. I believe I might have found a work around for the black screen. It has something to do with the system theme. If you go download any theme and apply it, no more random black screen in any app! This solved the problem for me, I encourage anyone else to test my theory.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
He just put out R8 too which fixed both screen issues and camera. Just FYI.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheManInYourSoup:
Haven't had a chance to test R8 yet. Didn't know if all screen issues had been truly fixed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] raulz28:
Yup I've been using R8 since last night and the first system sound going to blackscreen is gone and the backlight staying on sometimes after locking is also gone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] poopsmith777:
Paulb-nl found the solution to the backlight bugs and Jellytime R8 has been updated to include the fix

I've done some searches but I can't find details of exactly what is involved in a full wipe.

What constitutes a full wipe?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4736004:
Wipe data/factory data reset

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik cache

Format system.

Sent from my WT19i
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
Also wipe boot partition and possibly other system files stored on sd card other than .android_secure.

If you select the wipe data/factory reset and then wipe all partitions except sd card option it does the same thing. Just be sure to flash something that restores boot partition as having no boot image can result in a "stuck" device.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Install 4ext recovery from www.4ext.net. Boot into recovery, select 'wipe/format' -> 'format all partitions (except SD card)'.

Wiping the boot, system, data, cache partitions & .android_secure folder is what constitutes a full wipe. With 4ext recovery you can full wipe at once using the above option.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:
Plus one to this it's the easiest way. Instead 4ext and every looked back since!

Hi, I wanted to know can I install the galaxy note i717 recovery on n7000? Or is there a touch recovery for us? And if I would install will everything work or go "BOOM"? Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
don't think there is a touch version yet for n7000.

I guess the speedmod kernel uses the att note cwm version and it works on n7000... so may be.. but not sure
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
No, the i717 is a totally different Note than the N7000. I would highly recommend you do NOT flash anything to your Note that belongs to another Note version.

There used to be a TWRP recovery in the AOKP builds (ICS) but I think it was removed. Also used to be a touch CWM recovery in Hydrocore kernels, but Gavin removed it because of a little problems. So you are stuck right now, but maybe eventually the touch recoveries will get worked out. It's not too hard to just use the keys.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
I agree.. the software (and even the hardware part) workings on the i717 should not be mix up the N7000, else you could risk getting a soft brick on your phone (worse a hard one).

Best you can do is file a Request under the I717 section to have a developer mod or create a touch recovery on the phone.
[Motorola Droid 4] lanmaster82:
I have my Droid 4 ICS rooted.

I just installed Safestrap 2.11, installed recovery from inside safestrap, rebooted, enter safestrap menu, enabled safe system, flashed cm10 rom downloaded from hash, flashed gapps zip, rebooted.... and the phone is stuck on CM10 boot animation.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 4] lanmaster82:
I should mention that once I disabled the safe system the phone did boot into stock ICS just fine.
[Motorola Droid 4] sbollero:
had same problem

I had the same problem with eclipse when trying to flash a newer iteration. I tried flashing a bunch of patches and overclock without rebooting into the rom once. I would recommend factory wipe/wipe cache and reinstalling rom. if that doesnt work maybe just flash rom, boot and then reboot into recovery to flash gapps.
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
FYI, you need to do a factory reset the first time you install a ROM on your safe side. To be clear, you need to perform a factory reset on your SAFE side (ROM-side) :laugh:
