I just got a Note 1 i717, currently locked to Rogers (I live in Canada), spent some hours to read about rooting Note 1 to work with Wind/Mobilicity, I'm new, Can you guys please tell me all I have to do is rooting the Note 1 to make it works with Wind/Mobilicity? do I have to have an Sim-unlocked Note 1 to start rooting?

I find this method is quite easy and safe, probably the best method to root Note 1, another question is can I update or install another rom after rooting and it still works with Wind/Mobilicity?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
In order to use a carrier locked device on a different carrier, you have to remove the SIM lock. There's lots of ways to obtain the lock code. Usually calling the carrier is fast and cheapest. Or you can Google search for how to remove it.

Rooting is totally different then unlocking. Rooting doesn't affect what carrier your device will work on. Roms don't affect this either unless the rom installs a modem. Modems are what allow you to connect to different carriers. I'm unfamiliar with what modems work on wind/mobilicity but I remember reading a post on it here once. You'll have to search for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] minhhieule89:
dgebann transgressor

but I read somewhere you can not use the phone even when unlocked, you have to do some modification?does that mean installing the modem? so what rooting does?what rom do you guy recommend for Note 1? I heard many people talk about Pacman Rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] osterizerblender:
I am using a bell note with mobilicity. You need tp unlock your phone in order to use with mobilicity.

For rooting, i flashed twrp recovery using odin v1.85. Once, you have twrp recovery, you can flash superuser.i used superuser v94. You can get twrp recovery from goomanager too. Once you are rooted. You need to flash modem. There are many modems available. You just have to find right one for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] minhhieule89:
thanks, this is quite helpful
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
You don't need root access to flash any modem or rom.

You need to unlock from carrier to use other carriers sim card. This can be done by ourchasing a code from ebay.

You will need to flash a modem that will let you access the frequencies\bands wind uses.

Don't quote, reply. If you quote, edit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] futiless:
No Honestly lets chit chat about it what is a good modem for mobilicity because I havn't seen one yet that doesn't drop and require reboots 10 min+ wait while it rediscovers all the various band connections. I want to know if anyone has a good experience with AWS 1700 + 2100 on the note since gingerbread/ics (a little). I am thinking of giving it up because I use mobilicity / and wind in the past and it really isn't a functioning phone anymore because of the magivered modem from times long ago. All the new radios don't work because they havn't been modded to get the other bands ...

So good luck, but I think it is more a toy now than a phone.

Also I would like to point out that all the work that was done a year back was great and thanks to everyone involved.

[HTC Desire S] gt500kr:
Hey, first of all I'm not comparing any specific ROMs so there's no need to close this thread. I was just wondering which ROM type (AOSP or Sense) offers the best battery life/on screen time. From what I've heard, AOSP tends to be more responsive and smoother, I'm currently on Flinny's 10.1 and I get 4:30h screen time at 1% battery, but wanted to be sure if I could get better results with Sense.

Thanks in advance
[HTC Desire S] razi914:
u should try the desire xs, or ice cream saga rom, i have heard it gives 6 hrs of screen on!! depending on the battery age,, btw im on reaper rom now,, battery life is excellent with 3:45 hrs screen on, with my 3 year old battery!
[HTC Desire S] Kingdomds:
Sense 4.1 lite has a pretty good battery life. in my opinion :good:
[HTC Desire S] gt500kr:
Thanks for the answers, but isn't Sense 4.1 a little slow/heavy on our Desire S, compared to AOSP?
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
Five people will agree with that while another 5 will say otherwise. That's why we dont do comparison.
[HTC Desire S] rwilco12:
Although not necessarily intended to be a ROM comparison thread, any time you compare Sense to AOSP it ends up becoming a ROM comparison thread.

The best recommendation is to try the different ROMs out there, see which one works best for you and then run it.

Thread closed.

Thank you,

Open the ftf file with winrar.

Connect the phone on flashmode and install the rom.

Should work this way mate.

To use fastboot mode you have to install phone's drivers.

[Motorola Droid X2] MsJRandy2:
Moto Droid X2 2.3.5 (from stock update). Tried to root, and I think it worked, as I have superuser.

I also downloaded ROM manager, Titanium Backup and RootApp Delete, Goo.Manager.

I tried to install Cyanogen Mod from ROM Manager and regular recovery. ROM manager would not boot into recovery. Regular recovery will not install the custom ROM due to incomplete signature or something. Fearing I had totally done something wrong I googled again ... read that ROM manager can brick an X2 so I deleted.

Then I began to panic. I tried to download, run several other suggestions and now I am totally confused. My phone works, so I don't think it is bricked (Which I assume means it won't work). I am in over my head and I don't understand what I am doing, nor do I know the lingo. I think I have done too many things from too many different suggestions.

So, can someone please rescue me ....

(1) how do I know what I am really running?

(2) how do I know if I am truly rooted?

(3) how do I know what custom ROM to flash

(4) how do I know if I am even asking the right questions?

(5) will any of this will work?

It was recommended on another forum that I do this: Do you have a terminal app? If not, grab one of the free ones from Play Store. Invoke the app, it'll likely then ask for root permission.. if not, look at the terminal screen for a # sign. If it is there, your device is rooted. If a $ is there instead, type su. If it asks for root permission, click or type yes. If you then see the # sign, you're rooted, if "denied" appears, you're not rooted.

I went ahead and chose Terminal IDE. When it opened, I selected Terminal IDE (not install system). It appears as a DOS type screen with a $ symbol. I typed su and granted SuperUser permissions. Now it shows: $su# .... is that correct? In the notification bar, it says Terminal IDE is running. Should this be happening? Do I need to exit or leave it running?

I've now been hanging all day to hopefully find an answer. I realize begging for help is limited to the time someone can offer. So, I am not complaining, I just need some help.

rom manager does not work with droid x2

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

brick is often over used, most motorola droid's, like the droid X2, have a locked bootloader

making them almost unbrickable

if it will not boot, just flash a sbf file with rsd lite

see links in my list

sd_shadow's [Collection] of Links for Droid X2

all roms are flash over 2.3.4, except eclipse 2, which is flashed over 2.3.5

you can verify root with 'root basic' free in play store

but only magic md5 can root 2.3.5

magic md5 root for d2, d2g, dx, & dx2

[Motorola Droid X2] MsJRandy2:
Clarification

Thanks for clarifying the rom manager question. I also am glad to know it is probably not bricked (although I am just assuming that means it won't work). I am so ignorant and don't know what all these words mean. I am grateful for any tips anyone can share to help me.

I am convinced the phone is rooted, so if that is true and I have SuperUser then I am ready to install a new ROM right?

I am going to say I need the Eclipse 2, since I have 2.3.5 (although I can't see any further #'s). If ROM manager doesn't work, then am I just flashing (which I assume means installing) the Eclipse 2 via the regulary android recovery?? OR is there some other program I need to use??

I have searched your links and I see this: Nandroid Eclipse 2.3 for DX2.7z (Is that right? I don't know what the 2.7z means).

Sorry to ask so many questions, but again I am not too bright on the lingo. I need it in 1st grade terminology! Thanks in advance!!

Additionally, there are fees for some of the other links? If so, I must wait until I can figure out how to pay for them.

I will go back and follow step by step, and pray this works. It looks very complicated and over my head ....

basic instructions for installing v6 on a gingerbread rom
[Motorola Droid X2] MsJRandy2:
I will look at it over the weekend. A basic glance seemed really out of my thought process ... hahah!
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
keep in mind that with 512ish RAM, this phone really suffers in the bringing the beef department. in other words, limit your apps. i try to use the browser for facebook,twitter,tumblr, etc in order to save precious ram. it will lag out like that on just about any rom that we have. i just try to keep an eye on how much ram my apps are using, and also try to keep the ones i dont need closed. i know it wont result in the best phone experience, but this isnt really the best phone....lol. but it is VERY usable.

v6 in my experience hasnt really helped all that much anyway, or enough to even be worth going through the hassle of doing, but you can always give it a shot and see how it works for you.

also, EZSBF isnt to hard to do, you can make a disk and get back to 2.3.4..... under which the options are much more than what you get on 2.3.5 . i run cm9 and it gives me less problems than eclipse ever did. but you are also sacrificing video recording capabilities. again, keep in mind that i dont use many apps besides Falcon pro, and sometimes an extra music app or two. so i have less problems than someone who tries to run a bunch of apps like this is a galaxy nexus or something. lol. just a thought. but there is a LIST of roms to try out under 2.3.4, and a whopping three for 2.3.5. just sayin.

:cowboy:

me or shadow can try to suggest things that may help. just let us know.

and widgets can use a lot of memory
[Motorola Droid X2] MsJRandy2:
So, from what I am understanding, it is a memory/RAM issue? It was never a ROM issue to start with?

I certainly will be glad to follow any detailed instructions on anything that will help, but bear in mind I know comprehend all the abbreviations and other things.

I noticed yesterday after my post it seemed to get worse. I can't seem to back out of the call/contact screen. I have to restart the phone. The battery died by lunch time. I may need to add apps to the auto-end list, but I get confused on what to sync and not to sync.

I was talking to my daughter on the way from work and the phone just restarted on its own.

I don't want to give up the video issue of my phone if I can help it.

I never thought about widgets causing troubles. Perhaps I have too many apps?

I did not like the messaging or the calendar of Eclipse. My texts never showed the time and the the calendar ... well, I just don't care for the light black/dark black theme I guess. Even the email theme isn't my favorite, but not sure how to fix that. So, I downloaded handcent sms and a calendar.

I have 16g memory, which is one of the main reasons I chose this phone as my verizon upgrade last year. Again, never thought about not having enough RAM. I use a 1 tap cleaner, and I thought the cache showed the RAM - say right now it shows Total 1.96GB, Avail: 1.44GB. I can clear things and bump it up to about 1.52. If that is not the RAM, then where do I find it?

Here is how uneducated I am ... if I have the Eclipse ROM, then I am still running the android 2.3.5 as well? I thought rooting and adding a custom ROM raised the android version. Guess not ... I had to google that to see that is called Gingerbread.

I guess I can check out the launchers? What advantages are there to do this? Anyone have a personal favorite?

Sadly, I know enough to know droid trumps the iPhone ... but my kid has the 8gb iPhone 4, has just as many apps, and never has troubles.
[Motorola Droid X2] MsJRandy2:
Everything I am reading says the Droid X2 has 1g RAM ... I am confused about the 512mb.

Motorola DROID X2 vs Motorola DROID RAZR M
[Motorola Droid X2] MsJRandy2:
Not sure either ... I am sure you are correct! I am hoping it will be faster. I know it's still only a mid-grade device. I do have another question, but I am not sure if I should ask here or elsewhere. It appears the Razr M doesn't have a removable battery and the charging connector could be different. BUT ... I am hoping my chargers will work. I know that I can add my memory card to the new phone. My question is regarding what is on the card now.

I honestly don't know which one is in the internal device and which one is the other. So (1) I need to identify the removable sd (2) would I need to remove apps, etc.? I am thinking the custom ROM might be on there as well.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
data/charging port is the same

easiest way to tell which is which, turn off, remove sd card, turn back on, see what you have.

the custom rom replaced the stock system, it is not on the card
[Motorola Droid X2] MsJRandy2:
Thank you!!! Ok, so if there are APPS on the card, will they load on the new phone if on the memory card? Not too big of an issue ... just wondering. BECAUSE, I found a 16gb sd card in another phone !!
