rezound in rok

I'm also heading to the rok and hoping to use my rezound. I'm on stock ics ota. I'm going to see what I get on a stock rom before I do any unofficial releases, but I expect to drop SMS capabilities or maybe data like you see in the states with a T-Mobile sim in. I arrive in Korea on the 31st so I'll update sometime late next week and let you know. I've been to Korea before and I believe we will have to go with SK Telecom as our carrier because it is the only GSM network. The other networks are cdma to the best of my knowledge. Hopefully my next update will be from my phone on a Korean network!

Rezound in South Korea update

In Korea now. I just flashed my phone from a stock OTA ICS, unrooted, s-on over to the Global RUU found on Androidpolice.

I have tried to buy just a sim card from several stores, SK, KT Olleh etc, and the stores all say that I have to go to the headquarters stores located in Seoul, Yongsan Train Station on the top floor. Apparently this is the ONLY way to get a sim for a global phone, other than having a korean national get one for you and give it to you. This weekend I will be going to the headquarters stores and getting a sim, Other problems you may run into are related to being a foreigner in Korea. They will sometimes not want to sell you a phone on a contract because you as a foreigner could disappear at any time without paying the bill. So, they will try to get you to buy prepaid. I don't want to deal with prepaid anything, but that may be a viable option to get a SIM card easily. Just buy a reallllly cheap prepaid phone that has a sim in it, pull the sim and throw it in your global enabled device. Unless you speak Korean, navigating to the headquarters and getting what you want may prove a bit difficult. Fortunately, I do speak Korean, so I will let you know how it goes.

I will update again once I actually have a Sim in my phone!
[HTC Rezound] jarde44:
Thanks for the valuable information so far. I will be arriving there at the end of November and am looking forward to hearing more about how It's going for you there.

got a sim, no data!

Finally got a sim from KT Olleh today. The girl at the counter didn't believe me that the phone would work, but I got her to do it anyway. By the way, don't try to set up service for a phone anywhere in Korea on a weekend. They cannot activate a new phone unless its a weekday. So anyway, got it all setup and the girl sits there and plays with my phone for a while without saying anything to me. Then she tells me that the calling and texting is fine but the phone won't get a data signal. I asked her to set the APN, and she said she did. I checked it out and she had put in the KT APN as alwayson.ktfwing.com Looks right to me, and she seemed to know what she was doing for the most part. Then she started to go on about how Korea runs on CDMA for the most part and not GSM yadda yadda.

So, I have a Rezound, working for incoming and outgoing calls and text on KT Olleh, but no data signal at all. I might repost a similar message in another forum topic to see if any gurus have any advice on how to get it working. Also going to do some more research. I'm new to this but there is tons of information out there. I will post again once I have resolution or give up and buy a new phone!

PS Phones in korea can be REALLY expensive. Dropped 850 on my wifes LG phablet (optimus VU2)!!! Equivalent to the instinct in the states I think?
[HTC Rezound] jonezj:
didn't flash twice

So, I am a phone noob, and did a lot of reading last night. Saw that most people flash rezounds twice anytime putting on new firmware etc. I think I will try that tonight and see if I pick up the data signal.
[HTC Rezound] jarde44:
The ruu's generally need to be flashed twice. However I did not need to do so going to the global, the ruu automatically took care of everything.

The rezound may not have the radio frequency that network uses. That would be the main problem as to why you aren't picking up data.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KungPow90:
So I tried to run the command fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin as you are supposed to in the HTCdev site but this is the response:

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
you need to have fastboot executable installed in that directory also is your phone in debugging mode ?

take a peak at gunny's adb/fastboot primer here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1754018

hopefully that'll do it. good luck

Ok I put fastboot in there and it still didn't work. The phone is currently in bootloader. Yes I had debugging on when I switched it to bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
What do you mean by didn't work? What is happening now when you run fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KungPow90:
It is the same thing as before,

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
go into the directory where your adb is and run "adb devices" from command prompt and let's see if your device is recognized, if it isn't it might be your drivers or try a different usb port.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KungPow90:
ok maybe im not running the commands right. i know for a fact that i have all the adb and fastboot stuff but it says the same thing as it did for the fast boot but with adb instead.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
are you on a pc ? how are you running your fastboot command at the prompt ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
Are you executing the commands from the folder where fastboot exists ? For example

You have adb, fastboot in C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" then you need to goto C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" ( Or folder where adb and fastboot exists) then "Press shift + right click and select "Open command window here" ( open command prompt and cd "folder where adb and fastboot exists) and then execute the command

"
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KungPow90:
Ok ok now we are getting progress. It accepted fastboot and took the command but couldn't find the file "Unlock_code.bin"
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
did you get the unlock_code.bin from the htcdev website ?? It also needs to be in the same directory as your fastboot executable.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KungPow90:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
You just unlocked your bootloader. Unlocking your bootloader and rooting are 2 different things. I'm assuming you're on 2.20, correct ?\

Didn't you run new root xploit before getting token ?

the new exploit only gives you temp root originally and allows you to unlock bl, you then need to flash a custom recovery as well as superuser. please read theses posts thoroughly !!!

Holy Jones Soda... You guys are the bomb. So how do I load into that new recovery?

EDIT: I'm in recovery. Looks pretty slick! How do I get a rom say... CM10 onto the device?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
1)Connect your phone to your pc

2) Put phone into bootloader mode (easy way is: 'adb reboot bootloader') (or Boot in Bootloader)

3) Now you can see "FASTBOOT USB"

4) Download the ROM of your choice from here (Sense based Custom ROMS) or here (CM10 or asop roms)

5) extract the ROM and copy the boot.img into the folder where fastboot and adb exists

6) Open command prompt in the above folder and type this command fastboot flash boot boot.img

7) Copy the ROM.zip into your sd card ( One way of doing it is - Boot in Recovery - mount - copy the rom zip file)

8) In Recovery flash the ROM.zip and enjoy

For CM10 or asop roms, you need to flash Gapps in recovery after flashing the rom.

are you able to boot in recovery ? what rom did you flash ? did you flash boot.img in fastboot ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
Tell us exact steps what you have done
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KungPow90:
ok. I was in fastboot. CMD flashed over the boot.img from there and then tried to boot the phone up so the computer could see the phone to put CM10 in the SDcard so that I could install it from the recovery. Instead of booting up it has the bootloop. I am in recovery and sitting here for fear of leaving and not being able to get back into it because (if you havent guessed already) I dont really know what im doing, just trying to follow the instructions as best I can.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KungPow90:
Yes I'm in recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
Does it look something similar to this image below?

if yes

1) then select Install

2) navigate to the folder on your sd card where you copied the ROM.

3) select the ROM.zip

4) select flash ROM.zip

5) Repeat the step 2-4 for installing Gapps that you downloaded

6) reboot

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
I did check it properly
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
take a deep breath and read... abhipati gave you precise instructions. reboot in recovery (sounds like you're already in) and make sure you have the rom.zip on your sd card and then flash the rom.zip (be aware that this will wipe all the contents of your phone except the sd card)

edit: if you do not have the rom.zip on the sd card you will have to mount usb and move the rom.zip to your sd folder first
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KungPow90:

I don't know much about HTC phones but I think you missed the most important thing before flash - full wipe and format partition and system. (These things are in recovery menu).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KungPow90:
THANK YOU. You helped me out alot!!!! I'm now on CM10!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] skrillex2222:
That's okay - I had the same mistake when flashing - if you don't wipe and format, then there is almost no chance to boot with custom rom unless you update the same rom with newer version. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
As skiller mentioned you need to do full wipe from recovery and flash ROM. It is recommended (I totally forgot about this)

Good that you flashed cm10 successfully. - Now do this , so that you wont have any problems

See pictures

1) get into recovery

2) Select Wipe

3) then select Davlik Cache, then Factory reset and then System ( Order of flashing not important)

4) then flash the ROM.zip

5) Then goapps and your good

Note* - You need to do full wipe if your installing ROM for the first time, but not if your flashing updated version of the ROM

Note*- Full wipe will erase your data - so backup everything

Help manually moving contacts and choosing a JB ROM.

If a pro could help me out I would appreciate it very much. I have been trying to move from a dangerous ICS build to JB and I am having this same problem.

My N7000 previously had this on it:

android 4.03

radio 19220zclp6

kernal version 3.0.15-i9220zclp1-cl131270 (bad ics kernal)

build number midnote 2.0 iml74k.zclp1

So I used ODIN to flash it to a GB rom but I got the com.android.process error and my phone would lock up.

So then I found this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 and flashed this ROM "N7000UBLR3 N7000UVOLR1 - Download - Argentina" from the bottom of the page. I wiped only the the cache (not the phone reset) and flashed it again but I still get the process error and phone locking up. I don't even know if this ROM is a safe ROM!!

Am I even on a safe kernal now? kernal n7000ublr3-cl890184 build imm76d.ublr3

What I need help doing is the following.

1. Before doing a full wipe, I need to either manually save my contacts to my PC or back them up. (no apps work but my pc can browse my phone) If I knew where my contacts were located, maybe I can manually copy them to my pc? So any help saving data from a partially unusable phone would help.

2. Flash to a safe GB rom, so I can then do the full wipes safely and then flash to a stable JB rom. (I have no clue which roms to choose here and need help).

Thanks for any help..
[General Questions and Answers] bluespire:
Hello all. I created this thread to get ideas and solutions to a big problem that I am having.

I need to have RELIABLE VoIP over 4G/LTE. By reliable, I mean I will ALWAYS receive my call, and I don't have any difficulties MAKING my calls (like the registration dropping without notice). As I also need SMS across the same number that I am using, the only solution I have found is Google Voice, so that has to be integrated as well.

I think I have tried just about every solution out there to utilize SIP with GV. Either my settings suck on every app I've tried, the app drains power like no tomorrow, or the connection says it's there, but I don't receive my calls. There are only two methods I have found that work great with GV.

1) GrooveIP works great, but only when I first turn it on and sign in, and don't turn off the screen. Once the phone tries to sleep once, my reliability goes way down. In addition, GroovIP doesn't work so well when on the move. Says it is logged in, but doesn't actually work until logged out and back in again.

2) The GV app. This work perfectly, every time, and probably because by its nature it doesn't use SIP at all. The CAVEAT here is, it only intercepts an outgoing "mobile" call. If all you have is a data plan, it won't work.

I want (2) from above to work. I can get a reliable SIP connection from my paid SIP provider, Anveo. What I need is a way to get Android to think my SIP connection IS my mobile connection, so that the GV app will intercept it and call my incoming SIP trunk so that I can make the call.

Any solutions to this that anyone knows of?
[General Questions and Answers] bluespire:
bump!
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
You can use CSipSimple + PBXes.org as a 3rd option. Read this thread for some good information!

The reason for the poorer performance when the screen is off is because Android lowers the wifi power level when in sleep mode to prolong battery, which makes for worse SIP performance. This is also discussed in the thread I linked.
[General Questions and Answers] bluespire:
I would like to note here, I do not use WiFi. My setup is strictly high-speed 4G+LTE on AT&T. My ping times are typically very low and data is at least 3 Mbps. That should be plenty to get WiFi like quality, and the phone does not power down the cellular radio (at least, I've never heard of it).

Unfortunately, as far as I can make it work, CSIPsimple can not substitute as a "mobile' network, and therefore make use of the GVoice bridging.
[General Questions and Answers] Descent2:
Same situation here with GrooveIP. I am on Prism phone with T-Mobile (don't actually ever get 4G (even though both, the phone and the plan are advertized as 4G, and people right next to me do get 4G from T-mobile), but get stable 3G.

I also noticed it has something to do with Wi-Fi. I think GrooveIP actually prefers Wifi over data connection, because it would be happily green, until I walk into a wifi area and then it goes red and back to green. I didn't know that WiFi gets powered down during sleep. Since it does, then there is no reason keeping in on. Thank you for the tip!

I will have it strictly on data tomorrow (WiFi off), and see if GrooveIP ever disconnects.

Another weird thing about GrooveIP is that when you use it to call you t-mobile message box, the t-mobile system is not able to read your numerical commands, as if it was missing a random number. Say your pin is 1234, then it will "hear" 123, or 234, or 134 and so on.

But, as far as my own search, this is the only app that allows both incoming and outgoing calls and doesn't trigger minutes count as GV does.
[General Questions and Answers] Descent2:
OK, today, I changed some more options in GrooveIP, those having to do with GrooveIP staying on, including having my wifi off all day.

Results are negative, still goes red from time to time, but much less often.

Further options include activating the auto renew option (timed resign-on every hour or so).

I believe this should be possible to do.
[General Questions and Answers] acegolfer:
Not 100% sure what you meant by GV app intercepting SIP connection.
[General Questions and Answers] bluespire:
The GV app can intercept a call, and then alters the call log DB and some other things. It sends, via data, a request to GV to have GV bridge the call, thereby using the celluar network to make the call. As I understand, GV calls the number I want using my GV #, then GV calls my cell, bridging the call. Unfortunately, GV will ONLY intercept a call made using the "mobile" connection, and won't intercept my SIP (or "internet") calls.
