why not try and get ahold of some developers to help us come along by ourselves with a asop of our own I really want to look into trying it even myself especially since my evo LTE broke I've been craving some Kit Kat and I know that it can be done we just need to figure it out

i was thinking about picking up another one off ebay, but you guys buying them off ebay, where are you getting the sim cards from?

from my research it seems like it needs a specific sim

Sprint SKU: CZ2101LTR

part number: SIMGLT207R

UPC: 760492013529

Domestic LTE 3FF removable with USIM

From what I have heard it is just for LTE and as long as you have that it there I believe you should be fine since they imei number and not Sim cards but it's possible I'm mistaken have you talked to sprint at all

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x000x:
yes, i've tried sprint customer support about 6 different occasions. Most of them are unaware that this phone even needs a sim card. they'll bring up the phone in their system and basically say 'it said it doesn't have a sim card slot, are you sure?'. Or, 'your phone should already come with a sim card'. I guess I should have been more clear and say that I was trying to get one before I had the phone, so maybe thats the issue. If I go into the sprint store they won't give me one unless the phone is on my account. But most of the customer support people keep having the system say that this phone does not have a sim card slot at all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrossgeek:
Give me a day or two. If other Sprint phones need a sim for LTE connectivity, and take the same part number, I might be able to come up with one for you. My buddy and his girlfriend have had a few LTE connected phones on Sprint and my fiance is up for an upgrade. If the part numbers match I'll let you know and we will get one sent out to you.

Sim Card

Hi, it takes Sprint part number SIMGLT207R - Domestic LTE 3FF removable with USIM , according to a recently updated compatibility matrix found on Google.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x000x:
yea, its a strange one. I can get one of the seemingly more common sim, SIMGLW206R, but this SIMGLT207R sim has been difficult. I guess many at Sprint do not think this phone needs one because it is not a international phone. For anyone else that might read this, the SIMGLW206R won't work at all. It has to be SIMGLT207R. Here is the document if anyone is curious https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AtNVEqz3vqzmdDNiMnozYnB2V1VSdVpGVmNVNlNiRWc&output=html

interestingly, some phones from virgin and boost seem to have the same kind of sim card. So I wonder if it would be possible to get one from there, or buy a cheap phone from virgin/boost, put the sim in the torque and activate it on sprint, or even have it on virgin/boost?

Unlock Torque for Telus or Bell

Thats what am hoping- maybe to get it setup on telus or bell (prepaid or data only plan) buy using there version of the microsim . would need to sim unlock? thought only gsm phones have sim card ? also heard sprint will unlock for international use but not in the US

:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
Okay maybe you got things confused. This phone does not have gsm capability the sim card is only for 4g. Yes some sprint phones have gsm but this is not one. Here is a link to specs http://m.gsmarena.com/kyocera_torque_e6710-5270.php.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x000x:
you'll need to find a phone service that uses cdma technology instead of gsm. And then you'll probably have to get it flashed, but I don't really know much about that stuff. I think this can be done without a sim card, but w/o the sim card you can only use it as a 3g device I believe. Not sure about Canada, but over here sprint 3g is maybe slightly faster than dialup speed... At least where I live.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
No s3 has cdma/GSM radio but torque only has CDMA. If this helps think of it as am/FM radio. While you can do both if you have the hardware the torque is like a 50's radio so only get am.

Yes, get a root shell and rm su from /system/xbin and bin if applicable , then rm SuperSU's apk from /system/app if it got put there. Then execute pm uninstall eu.chainfire.supersu to clean it out. You should be unrooted.

That was the technical way. If you wish to do it the easy way you can hit full unroot in supersu as far as i know, ymmv.

Need image and way to load it

Hello all. I have a boot loop issue. I purchased my phone on Ebay, and because I didn't get a SIM card it took me 6 weeks to get it activated. Where I live the closest corporate Sprint store is 150 Miles away in Las Vegas. After 6 weeks of persistent calls to Customer Care and trips to the Corporate Store, the store gave me a SIM card from a new phone and shipped the store phone back as defective. I have been enjoying the LTE speeds and have seen 12 Mbps.

Thanks to this thread I had the phone rooted, and I was using Link2SD with a 32GB card and a 4GB ext3 second partition. The phone was mostly stock save a different home screen, widget locker, and a few root apps. Today the phone started to boot loop. I got into stock recovery and did a hard reset, but it did not help.

I managed to get into downloader mode thanks to mrossgeek. However, without an image and a way to push it to the phone I am stuck. Could you guys help me out here? Much appreciated.

Hypothetically, let's say you were able to unlock your phone. Putting in another SIM card to this phone would be like putting diesel into a gasoline engine- it ain't gonna run!

This phone only has the ability to use Band 25 LTE. Sprint is the ONLY carrier in North America to offer Band 25 LTE, so your phone will be searching for service because no Canadian carrier uses Band 25 LTE.

Hey guys I have a problem. My wife's phone has been acting very strange for the last 2 weeks. WiFi would not work and mobile data stops working and a lot of times when she reboots her phone the hands free activation pops up and will fail. The only cure I've found but is very short term is pulling the battery. Also when the phone boots up sometimes it has a Android boot screen. Does anyone have the slightest clue what's going on? All I ever did was use that app in this thread to Root her phone and now when I try to unroot it doesn't work. Also when her data feels like working her apps like Facebook will keep lagging and force close also it seems like her touch screen is kinda laggy. I will unroot then go into the play store and download root checker and it didn't work. If no one has a clue of what's going on then my last resort is to take the phone to Sprint but I'm worried because it keeps saying its still rooted. Any help would be much appreciated.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMosley:
Yeah I have with my note 3 but not with the Torque. I did a factory reset a week or so ago to see if it would fix the problem and no dice so I don't have the apk on her phone anymore. I'm going to see of I can find the post about the app. Also here's her phone info.

EDIT the latest version of FramaRoot did in fact unroot the phone and everything looks completely stock now and root check verified I no longer have root access. Now just to fix the force closings, lag and data issues. Well if anything I should be able to take the phone into sprint now and not worry about the root issue.

I turned on my wife's phone this morning after a full charge and she has no data or cell service and WiFi is stuck and greyed out, when I try to turn the WiFi on it will just flick back off and stay greyed out like its not supposed to be turned on. Also when I go to settings/mobile networks to ensure data is turned on it keeps freezing, see attached pics. I even pulled the battery and let it boot back up and still nothing. Last night everything was working. Has this ever happened to anyone? Also has this android boot screen always been there? My wife thinks it hasn't and just started showing up. This phone is less then 6 months old and has always been treated like a baby. Any help or info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

That Android boot image is the stock one if the sprint one gets deleted. It looks like your system.img might be corrupted somehow. You can try the sprint store if you have insurance on it or pm mrossgeek or x000x they have the 2.3 system imgs I believe
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrossgeek:
See where is says NV fail. Android failed to communicate with the Qualcomm cellular radio. It needs to go to sprint.

The blanked out wifi and the stock android boot splash verify that Android is not comminicating with the Qualcomm radio. Make sure you make it stock then go see the sprint store. They should give you a new one for free they did it for me. I reflashed the unmodified images back in the phone and Sprint did not say much other than they've never seen an NV fail before. I did some research on it and there a few samsung phones that are pretty notorious for that. From what I gather it is some sort of non-volitale cache like used on unix machines. (If anyone has ever done an NV-reset on a mac from open firmware.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMosley:
Thanks for the reply. Do you have Sprint insurance? She doesn't. I would figure they would at least make you pay the deductible to get another phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrossgeek:
I have insurance, but they didnt make me pay anything. The nv fail is a hardware issue thats why they replaced it for free. If you havent removed any sprint apps or tweaked the kernal with root access just unroot it take it to sprint and see what they say

Worst case they wont replace it. Buy a used one on ebay
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMosley:
That's what I'm hoping it can be written off on a hardware failure. It is unrooted and factory reset. I've been scoping out some phones on eBay and they are going for around $75 and the deducible on this phone is $100 if they let me add the insurance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
$100 that is crazy. I bought one that was only 3 months old with good esn for less than $100 including shipping.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMosley:
I agree but my wife is verrrry particular with smart phones and she's very hard and careless with them and this phone is a small tank and everything was fine until I started messing with it. She needs this fixed or replaced ASAP for navigation in her job.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMosley:
Let me tell ya this phone is some kinda weird. I just went into the stock recovery and did a factory reset to prep for Mondays Sprint store trip and now the phone is in a complete boot loop. It will show the Kyocera splash screen then the android boot animation and it will vibrate 3 times turning this period and just restart again. How can just doing a factory reset screw the phone up so bad it won't even turn on? I already pulled the battery twice and nothing. This phone is quite weird.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
From what I know the build quality for this phone is very poor. I have talk to a few users who had to have their phone replaced more than once.

From the things you are experiencing it sounds like your phone is suffering from a debilitating hardware failure. I seriously doubt it is anything you did to the phone. Being harware failure I don't think that you will have to pay to get it replaced.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UPdownLoAD:
Make sure you go to a corporate store, not a 3rd party. 3rd party stores usually do not honor manufacturer's warranty. It's hit/miss even at corporate stores and they keep changing policies every few months. I believe the current policy is to honor manufacturer's warranty, if not it should be $35 or $55 to replace.

The next battle will be over getting it replaced in house. The policy used to be if your phone could not make/receive calls, they would swap you out in house. I believe this too has changed, so be prepared to calmly ask to speak to a manager after they approve your exchange.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMosley:
I took it to a corporate repair store and everything was going good and the lady told me she was going to order me a replacement and it will take 3-5 days then she checked if I have insurance and I don't so she said it was going to cost $80 for the replacement. She told me because the phone is only 6 months old to contact Kyocera directly and I am currently on hold with them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UPdownLoAD:
I'd probably pay the $80. It will take 8-10 business days for them to deny your warranty because they found you rooted (or you may get lucky and they approve it). Hope you have a spare phone for Wifey to use in meantime either way!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMosley:
I'm going to pay the $5 to mail the phone out and hope all works out. They said they will either fix my phone or send me a new one in 8-12 business days. It is currently stuck in a boot loop after I did a factory reset. I unrooted before the phone got stuck so hopefully they don't tell. If all else fails I'll just buy another one off eBay and she will use my old HTC Evo for now.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meballard:
Push to talk is disabled if 4g is enabled. So if you set the phone to connect to 4g/LTE, Push to Talk will automatically be disabled, regardless of if you are actually connected to 3g or 4g. It cannot connect to 3g and 4g simultaneously, but it can connect to 3g and Wi-Fi simultaneously (PTT goes out over 3g, all other data on Wi-Fi).
