RE-POST : Need Help Carrier Unlocking SCH-R950 ( US Cellular Galaxy Note 2 )

I am trying to carrier unlock a US cellular branded Galaxy Note 2 ( SCH-R950 ).

I have tried lots of things, none of which have worked.

( Such as installing and loading firmware from CWM, using ODIN to flash firmware, trying to use KIES for updating, etc., but without success. )

At the moment, I am back to a 4.1.2 stock international firmware and stock recovery but the phone reboots itself every few minutes.

Could someone PRETTY PLEASE direct me to a stable firmware download that I can install that will let me carrier unlock this phone or give me advice/directions on how to do so?

Please feel free to ask me questions. I know I didn't give a bunch of details, but I have spent hours and hours and hours working on this to no avail and don't want to muck up my post with too much junk info.

I look forward to your replies. Thanks in Advance.

Need help in rooting my Lava iris 506q

Hello mates,am a newbie to all this.I've tried searching but everything i found is for Branded phones.

I want to know that can i root my lava iris 506q?If yes then how?What possibilities are there after rooting it?:confused:

Here's the info about my phone:

Hey,you're making aconfusion between rom flashing and carrier unlocking. Carrier unlocking info is stored in the modem firmware which does not get flashed during rom replacing. I gave an S3 and although there are more than one method described on the net ( entering the service menu and changing Network Lock settings), the only method that worked for me was using a little program from Google Play called GalaxSim unlock. You pay something like 2 euros for it and it unlocks your phone. Worked for me!

As far as rom flashing goes, you should re-install Keys, just to be sure you have the drivers dorrectly installed, update to the latest CWM recovery and find a suitable rom here on xda. Hope it helps.

Its quite difficult in case of such brands.. But you can try some of the common rooting software available at your own risk :good:

I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod 6.1 on my T-Mobile MyTouch 3g (Android 2.2.3 FroYo) but the instructions is too... hard? Maybe?

Someone explain me STEP-BY-STEP on how to install Cyanogenmod 6.1 Stable on my T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Android 2.2.3 FroYo. I use ClockworK Recovery and ROM Manager any ways. I currently have the Cyanogenmod 6.1 Stable on my SD Card too.

Also when I boot to Clockwork Recovery mode, there is only 4 choices shown:

Reboot system now

Apply SDCard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition.

Why do I only have four choices? Others peoples has like 10 choices. What's the problem? Another problem is that when I boot to ClockworkMod Recovery, a triangular shape with an exclamation mark in it with an Android phone laying face-up in front of the triangle with exclamation mark shows up, what's that? Is it an error?

Thanks

What recovery are you using? If it's Cwm download rom manager and try to re flash the recovery

@MoritaZX - RE : Carrier Unlock SCH-R950

[MENTION=5635183]MoritaZX[/MENTION] - When I enter the Service Menu on this phone ( US cellular branded Galaxy Note 2 : SCH-R950 ) it is completely blank.

There is no menu of any kind.

I checked on my Galaxy S2 and was able to bring up the Service Menu with network settings no problem so it isn't a user error on my part.

Will the GalaxSim unlock program work anyway, even if there are no menu options I can access ?
[General Questions and Answers] MoritaZX:
I got a similar problem using Service Menu on S3. With the only difference that Network Unlock was not blank, but it said instead that Menu does not exist, bla-bla-bla.That's why I resorted to that program. So yes, I think it should work despite the weird Service menu in both our cases :)

You should download from CF's thread UPDATE-SuperSU-v.X.XX.zip (compatible version for your device) and flash zip in recovery mode. After that, updating binary will be no problem anymore.
[General Questions and Answers] InkSlinger420:
If your SURE you are on cwm, though it doeant sound like it (sounds like stock recovery as there is no backup/restore option) my suggestion would be to rename the cwm zip to update.zip and try to flash first. .

Any help?
[General Questions and Answers] PrinceValorum:
I thought initially that it may have been an error due to a file format issue since I edited the updater-script in Notepad the first time. I got Notepad++ just to be sure and removed the relevant 'assert' lines, made sure to set the EOL to the Unix format, as per "pitchblack5691's" guide on editing the updater-script (for noobs).

Still no luck.

Just to be sure, I also tried my AOKP rom, and that MD5 number checks out on my downloaded file. It doesn't check out after I've edited the updater-script (I'm assuming since I've literally removed lines). But at least I know I was starting with a good download that time, and still followed the instructions to the letter on editing the script. I couldn't check it on the PAC-Man rom, since the download page doesn't provide the MD5, or at least that I could find.

I am really at a loss at this point. :confused:

Fastboot on Kindle Fire HD 7"

I've recently rooted my KFHD, I'm in the final stages of installing TWRP and I get to the part where you use fastboot. Now, the part where you start running the fastboot codes my cmd prompt just gets stuck on <waiting for device> even after a hard boot. ADB is enabled and I have it connected to the PC. I can't post the link cuz I'm a noob, but if you do a google search for "The Simple Guide to Root the Kindle Fire HD and Flash a Custom ROM" that's the guide I was using

Well, what I did when I installed ROM Manager is:

1) Opened ROM Manager

2) Clicked "Recovery Setup"

3) Clicked "ClockworkMod Recovery

4) Chose my phone model

5) Downloading... then said "successfully flashed" or something like that

6) I go back to the menu and saw this below the "Recovery Setup" button: "Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7

7) After installing ClockworkMod Recovery, I clicked "Reboot into Recovery", with the description written below it "Boot into recovery mode for manual management.

8) My phone powered off then opened automatically which showed the "MyTouch" logo with a green background, I waited for a few seconds

9) After booting up, I saw this exclamation point inside a triangle shape with a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Android Phone in front of it.

10) I clicked Home+Power

11) There, I saw the four choices again. with the title "Android System Recovery <3e) above the choices.

12) I tried clicking SDCard:update.zip but it said "installation aborted", I downloaded the update.zip on this link androidforums.com/merit-all-things-root/676258-root-update-zip-root.html

13) Connected my phone to my computer with a USB

14) Moved the update.zip I downloaded to the SD Card

15) Opened ROM Manager then clicked reboot into recovery

16) Clicked the apply SDCard:update zip

17) Then the following codes showed up below the four choices:

-- Install from sdcard...

Finding update package

Opening update package

Verifying update package

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Now I don't know what to do. But I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery but you guys say I'm still at the stock recovery, help? I'm pretty noob at using Android phone.

HTC One Self Bricked - Can you mount the storage?

Well, long time lurker of the XDA Forums first time poster; figured this would be a good place to start since this is the "n00b friendly" thread :)

Long story short, my Fiance's HTC One (ATT) that decided it was done. Randomly bricked itself. It did this once before and I was able to coax it back to life by plugging it into my PC and then trying to get it into the bootloader a couple of times (power + vol_down). No dice this time, all it did was flashed the back and home buttons (alternating) a few times then stayed off.

My Windows machine still recognizes that the phone is plugged in but it shows as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" in device manager. I would like to mount the internal storage on this thing and pull the pictures off the phone if at all possible so she doesn't lose everything, does anyone know if this is possible? If Linux is necessary I have Ubuntu dual booted on my laptop and I'm capable of doing most operations via command line (sometimes with a bit of guidance).

Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] tetakpatak:
After reboot to bootloader mode (example Nexus devices: command "adb reboot-bootloader") each command in bootloader mode should now start with "fastboot" and no more with "adb". So you can check as first the connection with:

fastboot devices

Did you do so?

If no device appears, probably the drivers haven't been installed properly.

I wasted my time wiping the data of my Android (which deleted all my game files, save files and many more: which I really hate because I have a game that I'm almost finished on playing it) but the result is that I don't know how to boot up ClockworkMod Recovery (because 2 people said I have the stock rom but I'm sure that I already flashed ClockworkMod Recovery).
[General Questions and Answers] tetakpatak:
Well, I was right: <3e> is a stock recovery.

I can not research all your posts now, so can you just reply this post please (quote) and write me your phone model and ROM you're on right now. You probably just need to flash a root kernel that already features custom recovery.

To avoid misleading wrong info, best use app Android System Info and go to "build info" and make a screenshot.

I will try to help you with advice.

[General Questions and Answers] A_Button117:
If I had to guess it sounds like you aren't rooted, open supersu, or whatever su app you use, and make sure you have root access and that rom manager has su permissions...Did you install cwm recovery from the app? You are saying that you just opened rom manager then clicked reboot into recovery? You need to open rom manager then click recovery setup, then install or update recovery... Sorry if I am not understanding what you are saying :p

Wifi(screen off) transfers data while charging not otherwise

Apps like play store, old gtalk, are connected while screen is off on mobile data(always) or wifi(when charging). But these lose connection over wifi, when not charging & screen off.

In play store, app being updated/downloaded while screen on completes, others start only after screen on. Gmail works absoluely fine, pushes in 30s when screen off. Xabber too pushes in around 30s, screen off. However all apps push instantly with screen on.

I've tried almost all keep alive apps, widgets, have wifi sleep set always, wifi optimizations off, heartbeat interval at 5 minutes, but to no avail. Any solution to the play store &gtalk issue would be greatly appreciated. Ideas on where to post for better responses are also welcome.

Did some research, there doesn't seem to be any custom ROMs, recoveries, or even a root method for that matter, I would try to find a universal rooting tool and try that, although there are no promises that it will work, but worst case just boots normally (In my experience anyway).

I have an Asus TF300T with the V10.6.1.27.5 bootloader and CROMi-X 5.3.

I have been playing with dual boot Linux and using this thread I had xubuntu dual booting with Android 4.1. In the thread people have got a modified kernel working with 4.2 but I cannot get any of their setups working.

Has anyone got a working dual boot setup with the latest bootloader? Can you please share your rootfs, kernel and method to get it working. Thanks.

You have the drivers installed id imagine. .and android adb?..i found this little thing here not sure if it helps

1. connect your phone in emergency mode to the windows pc.

2. check the device manage, to see if there any lg hardware there, don't run the lg update tool now, and you should previously install the lg driver first

3. if you see the 3 lg hardwares, disable the modem one, i found this one make the connection dosen't work when run the lg update tool in emergency mode.

4. just run the lg update tool, it will detect you phone and update itself, even it stop at 4%, if you get lucky, you can wait it finish or disconnect the phone, your fastboot should be back…

Well, If there isnt one already, One would have to be created..With source and device files..Those would have to be pulled from the device via adb.. and a bit of work from a dev.. If you can get the files off the device you stand a better chance of giving yourself or someone else a chance at it..

To fix this problem you have to completely discharge your battery.you can achieve this by turning on and off your phone repeatedly until it does not respond what so ever. Then you plug your phone up to the wall charger and let it charge completely. I had to do this once and found that if you heat up the phone the battery drain faster because the warmer a battery is the faster it will die.I would suggest not to heat it up too much because batteries can explode if they get too hot. Hopefully this helps and if it does hit the Thanks button.

[General Questions and Answers] InkSlinger420:
no..Device files need to be modified to be compatible with another version..Its a project in itself..If you have the time, knowledge and means to do it, it CAN happen but no you cannot use a stock img to change versions..Now, if you can get the files from the firmware and/or device and modify them correctly you PROBABLY could get a CM, or other custom FW on there..but again, Its a process..Where the manufacturer leaves the device officially is the last stock firmware you can use..
