Jailbreak does not equal root. We don't need to worry but if you own and iPad you're screwed
[General Topics] alochmst98:
This thread was posted 17 hours and 48 minutes before yours.

Did you read the actual text of the ruling that I quoted in my second post and think about carrier and manufacturer modifications that can lock an Android device down?
[General Topics] gagdude:
Dude I don't care, jailbreaking and rooting are different things, so different in fact that if they say doing x to a product is illegal that the x does not also apply to the other form of hacking on the other OS
[General Topics] alochmst98:
What about circumventing locked bootloaders to load a custom ROM?
[General Topics] gagdude:
OK, but remember when iPod touches were first coming out and people were jailbreaking them anyways? And everyone was just like "no ones gonna catch us."

Well same situation. Give the finger to the government and root and jailbreak anyways
[General Topics] silverfang77:
That's what most of us will do. Any Android device I get will be rooted.

I doubt it will actually stop many people jailbreaking. A few devs might not be so forthright about what they have made etc, but I doubt too much will happen.
[General Topics] glenbarney:
Maybe -

But what will happen to XDA? What about cellunlocker.net and services like that?

I gotta say, I'm worried.
[General Topics] XxKU134xX:
From what I understand is just the carriers cring about people messing with radios and getting sim unlocks without them getting profit(unlock codes). So I guess rooting and costom Roma should be fine, but no s-off, radios.
[General Topics] jianC:
Jailbreaking is practically the same thing as rooting. Both involve granting r/w access to a partition that was not intended to be overwritten from factory.

I think it is time to for xda to go underground and start to not give crap about legality! :D

This makes no sense whatsoever. Are they saying this only because of piracy or what? Because plenty of people that Jailbreak would never pirate a thing. And plenty of people who jailbreak phones do pirate. So why the difference?

Can anyone post what this means for us smartphone users in layman's terms?

What are our cell phone providers exactly allowed [and not allowed] to do? Does using an unlocked phone with a provider not bought from that provider mean you are exempt from this new law? Thanks.

Edit: Just saw this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQCyMMCW1D0 Apparently I had it backwards - cell phones are fine, tablets aren't. My bad.

That seems to explain it pretty well. Based on that video, this sounds quite odd and insensible.
[General Topics] :
Are the FEDS trying to stuff the consumers . I'm Australian though :)
[General Topics] Sully6789:
Well, it looks like I'll only be buying a Nexus from the Google Play store now. If its shipped factory unlocked, it shouldnt apply. Sucks about tablets though. Not that it will really make a difference. People are gonna do what they want with the devices they pay for. I'm not gonna pay a premium price for an electronic device only to be told I can't modify it or use it they way I wish. I bet if I bought it, took it out of the box, and smashed it right there on the floor in the moddle of the store, no one would care. Oh, but I better not root it!! What a bunch of BS.
[General Topics] kindred7:
If it's originally carrier free it doesn't apply since there's no carrier software.

I suppose this can be enforced by tracking the imei of the device in some national lookup table or something. Either way this whole this is stupid though and from what I have seen no news stations have reported on it. So the general population has no clue.
[General Topics] silverfang77:
That's by design.

[General Topics] el_venga:
as stated, jailbreak is not the same as root. root is a native function of the OS. jailbreak is not, thats why if you reset/erase content on an jailbreaked ios device it will get stuck at apple logo. apple fixes exploits to avoid this. open source means open source. even the manufactures are supporting android devs.
[General Topics] F3L1XZS:
I say somebody makes a ****ing petition before this **** goes to far.

"Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile"

If I buy a device from a carrier and I wanna take it to another carrier, I payed good ****ing money for it, so I should be able to take it. Unless of course the government wants to begin to pay for my phone and service, which then I would have no problem with not being able to take phones to other carriers.

PS: Loving the new cuss filters lol.
[General Topics] silverfang77:
That's right. If the government wants us to obey its rules for the use of our devices, then it can damn well buy them for us and pay for the service.

Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
if you have a cdma wildfire s ( no simcard) then make a goldcard and flash the pg76diag.zip from bootloader, if not get a xtc clip.
[HTC Wildfire S] powerfull777:
Nah its not cdma but I've done it before without xtc clip ?

Then you don't mean s-off. You mean htcdev bootloader unlocked. Check the dev section here for simonsimons bootloader unlock tool, or go to htcdev.com and perform the bootloader unlock mate.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ohadgfn:
Hello guys,

After loosing my HTC ONE X on the street a week ago, I bought from some guy an almost brand new GALAXY S3 without knowing it is a VERIZON version.

I live in Israel so i had no idea what is the meaning of buying a device that will work only on Verizon network, we only have GSM here.

The guy i bought it from also had no idea what it means as his father bought it on the US and brought it here wishing to sell it as he had no use in it.

Without realizing the mistake I've made, I then made another one, Taking out the VERIZON SIM CARD and giving it back to the owner!

I thought to myself... well... that's his SIM CARD, not gonna be using that one...

Well, i got home to find out i'm in trouble with this deal I've made, i searched for a way to unlock it for GSM networks and i saw that here in XDA someone made it possible.

As i started working on it i had to download from Google play an application, when i was asked to pay for it i saw it's running on the old owners google account, so i decided i don't wanna pay with my credit while he might get the receipt for it and i figured i should do a Factory Data Reset for the phone and start from point zero the whole process.

Sadly i had no idea i'm doing another big mistake because when the phone finished the reset it asked for a VERIZON SIM CARD in order to run, well you know where that SIM Card is - back at the previous owner and i'm not even sure i will be able to track him down again.

I wish to get this device working without any traces of Verizon, maybe beside the name on the back panel of the device.

Now that the device won't even run without the SIM, what should i do ?

Thanks in advance,

Ohad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
In setup when you are on language screen press left corner/right corner/left corner/right corner/volume up. Should boot to home screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ohadgfn:
Thanks but i was able to track down the previous owner and get the verizon sim card.

I found away to use it on GSM but still im very disappointed because im not sure there´s a real way to remove any trace for the verizon stuff installed here and there are few errors like it is connected to the provider but it says no verizon sim card connected.

and im not so sure all the device's frequencies are "open" for my provider.

I was wondering if there's any option to burn an international galaxy version to the device and it will bypass all of these issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
not unless you want paperwieght for a device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Beemer533:
Why don't you just flash CM10 or similar to get rid of all the VZW stuff.... that's what I did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ohadgfn:
Why would that happen ? There's no option to do something like that what so ever ?

Not sure how to do so, but either way i'm not sure i will get the device working completely normally with my local SIM card on a gsm network, without bugs, without asking me to put a verizon sim card all the time, without having any option to update the device...

I dunno, i thought i could easily get this Galaxy version to become unlocked completely and get it running like all the other guys around...

Unless anybody here have a good recommendation about what should i do to overcome the verizon and networks issues, maybe i should just sell this guy on ebay and get a normal version...

Do you think this would be a smart move to do ?

Beemer - after you flash the CM10, do you still need to unlock the device and do you still get issues running on other than Verizon providers or do you enjoy a device that is similar to the worldwide versions ?

Thanks,

Ohad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
If you flash an international ROM on a Verizon S3, your phone will no longer power on or do anything useful. That's why it will become a paperweight. Flashing an international ROM on your Verizon S3 is one of the easiest ways to make it useless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
International=quad-core us=s4 processor, very different guts.I'd listen to the ppl on this forum, unless you want to end up with a paper weight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
it will put your phone into qpst diag mode and the only way to recover it will be with jtag. try it if you dont believe...what do i know. :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ohadgfn:
alright then... i won´t go for it.

but what about the other issues ? what do you guys recommend to do with the device ?

I'm thinking "get rid of it or get it working smoothly", the question is, is it possible to have it running "just like the unlocked international version" ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tiraceite:
This just works on stock rom??? Whats happened in cm10 or aokp?? How to avoid activating screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Know it works on Touchwiz roms. It may not be in AOSP based roms. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ohadgfn:
Well, i flashed CM10 successfully, i was able to receive and send SMS before with the Stock ROM, and also to make/receive phone calls but i had sim card issues and errors and also some unwanted Verizon apps and stuff.

After updating the device to the latest Verizon version, i couldn't make phone calls, just receive and i could send and receive SMS.

Now that device runs much faster on the CM10 and i can make/receive phone calls but i can't send SMS.

*UPDATE: I have updated to the latest CM10 version, now i can't connect to the provider at all... no internet/phone/sms at all.

SOS :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ohadgfn:
Ok, Im going to try a different tactic, i saw some people tried flashing At&t Roms on their verizon devices and they done it with success.

So far i tried doing it twice, one time with CM10 ROM for at&t, the 2nd time with stock at&t ROM.

I've tried doing it through CWM.

Both times i got an error while installing... it just didn't move on.

Luckly i had the CM10 for the verizon Zip file over there aswell so i installed that ROM again just to get the device running.

Any ideas how to flash the AT&T ROM on the Verizon Device ???

If you love fast processing, heavy gaming. This ROM is a must..

I highly consider not to change the Kernel to CK's. As abenagiel's kernel is working awesomely fast.

Of all the ICS all has this "phenomenon" never explained but still as essential as booting up ok to me. It seems to be a memory problem because the only way to get around it seems to make sure the app is killed out from ram and not self initiated again before you launch it again. Still, optional apps is not appreciated becauce it is an internal error not yet explained from devs. :)
[Huawei Ideos X6] matrix0807:
thx a lot man!

and, what's kernel better on this rom? the default after flas is CK kernel, or use the abiganiel kernel?
