....and I and countless others have told you and the skeptics it works without losing your data. The key is activating your new phone on the dumb phone line first, then re activate your dumb phones on thr dumb phone line, then move your newly upgraded phone which is now not attached to any line over to the unlimited line.
[Moto X General] TechSavvy2:
You're in for disappointment when you find out that pretty much every "flagship smartphone" on the planet costs about that same ~$200, right?

Ex - google search "cost to make an iphone", and even keep in mind, they sell for even more than your 600 at full retail.....SURPRISE!!!

You are now chatting with 'Racquel'

Racquel: Hello. Thank you for visiting Verizon Wireless sales chat, my name is Racquel, may I have your name please?

You: antawn

You: im looking for the moto x phone and dont see it

Racquel: I totally understand that you want the latest and greatest phone available but at this time there is no information on when a new device will be released. What I can recommend is keep checking back on the website. But, while I have you on chat would you like to take a look at some of our newer phones we currently have available?

You: no thanks...

You: what is my etf

Racquel: May I have one of the 10 digit mobile numbers on the account and the account owners name Please?

Racquel: May I ask why you woudl want t0o terminate Services?

You: well, i dont see it fair that i have to purchase a phone full retail because i dont want to give up my unlimited data..I also have a second phone on my account as well

Racquel: I do apologize You asked about the Moto x device not unlimited data, Woudl you like to go ahead and go over some options on how to keep that?

You: yes what are the options

Racquel: Well you can buy at full retail as you said, or if the other line does not hav unlimited data, transfer the upgrade and use that one, Or add a line to your account to get a Brand new phone!

You: if i transfer the upgrade from my unlimited data line to my other line i can keep my unlimited plan?

Racquel: that is correct if the other line does not have unlimited data, and if the transfer upgrade is availible to you.

You: ok...I didnt know that..Thanks for that information. I will keep checking back for information on the moto x

Racquel: Fantastic!

You: thanks again for your help
[Moto X General] e-lu:
That's interesting. I'm not on share everything, my unlimited data is on a legacy non shared account. So I personally couldn't easily add a $10 extra line. It would take a more expensive plan. But, that's awesome to know for ppl on share everything. Thanks for nailing that down. I also have my gf's iPad on the same account, wonder if I can leverage that some how. It has an upgrade due, but is a data only plan.
[Moto X General] Talguy:
same here I'm also on a legacy account with unlimited data.
[Moto X General] jimmyn89:
This sounds great! The one question I have about this process is when you try to buy the new upgrade phone on the dumb phone line. Won't they make you add a data plan to the dumb phone line? I remember in the past you could not buy a smartphone from Verizon without getting a data plan. And if they add a data plan to that line, won't that force you in to shared data, thus killing your unlimited data on the other line?
[Moto X General] crackers8199:
Fair enough...that still doesn't solve the problem of the 32gb not being available yet. :)
[Moto X General] infinit22:
Doing this online makes me upgrade the dummy phone to a data package when selecting the Moto X. Will this be removed once I reactivate the dummy phone back on the dummy line?

And how did everyone go about getting a nano sim connected to your number instead of the dummy number?
[Moto X General] Droyyd:
I think they chose white back in order to keep it consistent with the two other google edition phones they have on the play store...but yeah totally agree with you about the white not looking good. I'd be totally fine with it if the dev edition came in all black with the back maybe in woven. But I'm in no hurry to get the Moto X, I want to see what the next Nexus has to offer and give the devs some time to cook up custom roms/kernels for both devices before I hop on.
[Moto X General] crackers8199:
I'm curious how this will work too once we get the Dev edition if we have a regular sim...will vzw send a new sim when we go to activate it?
[Moto X General] e-lu:
Yeah... I could be wrong (as I apparently have been so far!), but I think this technique assumes you are on a shared plan that has unlimited data and you are just adding an extra line for $10/month. If that were the case, you wouldn't need a separate data plan, because it would use the shared data... I think that's what's going on anyway. Like you, my understanding was that VZW wouldn't let you connect a smartphone to an account that doesn't have a data plan.

but who knows.. I've already demonstrated myself to be unreliable on this matter! :)
[Moto X General] Talguy:
I'm pretty sure you can go to the vzw store and say I bought this at full price online and need a sim. Should cost like $25
[Moto X General] thepolishguy:
Well here's how it has worked for me the last couple or times in the last 2 months of upgrading to the GS4 and then the HTC One.

We have a family plan. Not shared data. Just shared minutes. 2 smart phones and 3 feature phones.

There's also a very helpful non-corprate Verizon kiosk at the local mall (corporate stores will never do this for you in my experience) where they guys want to sell phones and get their commission.

They transfer the upgrade to the feature phone. Yes you have to start a data plan on that $10 line. But then they immediately put the feature phone back on that line which kills the data plan so yes - it continues to be $10 and you get to keep your unlimited data.

For me though Best Buy and the other corporate stores Would not do it. Best Buy actually told me it wasn't even possible. But the guys at the kiosk have done it for me 3x now.
[Moto X General] kornklown69:
those guys u asked at best buy are idiots then... i work at a best buy mobile store and we do it all the time..
[Moto X General] thepolishguy:
Um yeah - there's no doubt in my mind that what you are saying is true.

But again, the Best Buy guys (more than once and on more than one occasion) said, "It is impossible if you want to keep your unlimited data". I then proceed to tell them about my experience at the kiosk and their like, "well they must have some sort of different software on their computers that let's them do that than we do."

Oh really?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan3002:
Hey guys.

I bought this phone today from a friend (who bought it from someone online a few days ago) and it was working fine. I went down to Meteor in Ireland and got a new micro sim. Everything was perfect, I was able to call and make texts no problem.

The trouble was that it was stuck on 4.0.4 and would not update. After a while I figured out it was jailbroken with clockworkmod.

Keep in mind I have no idea what I was doing at this stage.

I wanted to unroot the phone completely.

After looking online I downloaded a program called Odin and downloaded a "stock image file" for Ireland. The file seemed to indicate generic Ireland.

Using Odin I flashed this file onto the phone, it completed.

Everything seemed fine, it was version 4.1.2.

Then I discovered I could not make calls or texts. I got the error "Not Registered on Network". I also got the "No Service" message in the toolbar.

I searched available mobile networks through the phone and set it to meteor. The "No Service" message went away but it was still listed as "Not Registed on Network".

I had nothing backed up before I did this.

Am I completely screwed?

I am completely furious with myself for doing this...

My last resort is downloading a new stock image file for "Meteor (Ireland)" and possibly flashing that to the phone. But it currently has a 3 hour download time.

Any tips?

I really hope there is a way out of this otherwise I just flushed away a lot of cash! :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
You can try flashing a modem that might enable the imei to be read again:

I will give that a try thank.

I downloaded the zip file from the thread. Not sure what to do with it though (not joking when I said I had no idea what I was doing lol).

Do I need to flash it through Odin again?

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
Hi,

I have a N5105 which is identical to N5100 as hardware.

Its only difference is in software (phone features removed)

That's why I use a N5100 rom (stock) on it and that way I have hone features.

However, the bootloader is still N5105. Because of the bootloader/system difference, I can not reset flash counter. (TriangleAway does reset it when I use N5100 rom but at first boot it sets fc 1 )

So, what I want is installing a N5100 bootloader on the device. Is there any way to do this ?

Btw, I also can go back to N5105 original rom but in that case TriangleAway does not support the device (N5105) and it does not reset flash counter.

I am stuck and that's why I am open to any suggestions.

Please help me.

thx.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] cavsoldier19d:
As far as I know, trangle away is the only way to reset the flash counter. And considering that it doesnt support your device specifically, you are out of luck for now. Maybe send chainfire, the dev of triangle away, a request to add support for your device. You can always flash back to stock rom and recovery, which will change the status to samsung official, but that wont reset the counter.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mayday2:
When you want to go back to N5105, reset the fc in N5100 Rom, then not to reboot it but go to download mode directly. After flash back to N5105, check if fc remains 0.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
that works. thank you. In fact I was also able to make Allshare Cast work with that way using an original rom.

However, then I can't root right ?

On the other hand, today I tried installing stock N5100 bootloader (from the Note 8 toolkit)

it worked. But the device still shows N5105 when booting. (and flash counter can't be set to 0)

Where does the N5105 info come ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
One other thing that I don't understand is ; why can't I install the official stock rom :

N5100XXCMH1_N5100OXACMH1_N5100XXCMF4_HOME.tar.md5

When I try that, Odin says "nand write failed"

If I remove the sboot.img from that tar file, Odin can successfully install this rom.

At first I believed that it was because my device denies this rom with N5100 boot image. However, as today I tried after installing N5100 bootloader, that should not be the problem.

What do you think ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mayday2:
It should be normal if you were in N5105 Rom by that time. What does it show after you flashed N5100?

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

How can you verify that your Note 8 is in N5100 bootloader?

There is an app named android system info. In build info, it shows the boot loader version. You can have a try.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
It shows N5105 no matter what rom I install. To me it seems to be coming from bootloader. Because it is the first screen when we power on the device.

I can't verify but I got the boot.img from the Note 8 toolkit by selecting N5100 option.

And I didn't have any errors on Odin when uploading the boot.img

I'll give a try to the android system info app.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
I don't understand; the app shows bootloader: N5105JVBMC7

how's that ?

I've just installed boot image from N5100 and then installed X-Note N5100 4.2.2 rom.

still shows that bootloader.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
any ideas ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mayday2:
Either the bootloader download is not N5100 or the flashing of Bootloader is unsuccessful.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
I am sure that the bootloader is N5100 (since the author of Toolkit would not use N5105 bootloader as N5100 bootloader)

And I am sure that the flashing is successful. I didn't get any errors.

Could it be that the device fixes its bootloader after I modify ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
any ideas about that ?

Hey guys,

I've been counting to ten a couple of times and I still wanna rip the hairs of my head. I've been trying to flash my own ext rom and everything goes well just like in the step by step guides all over this forum. Until my mda compact is supposed to show "Press power to flash".

I've seen more posts of people having the same problems, but all their solutions didn't seem to work for me.

I deleted some .cab files from the rom like caller id and the mms composer since i never use 'em. The only thing i added was iiwpo.

1 thing i need to mention is that i used cardexport instead of a cardreader cause i just don't have one. the reading and writing with ntrw went well.

I also tried using the command s2d in multytty, resulting in an error. Another thing i didn't understand is the not working commands ? and h, while the error message includes that i should use those commands for help.

Anybody who can help me out? It would really save my hairdo

[HTC One X] eggshaped:
Hi

Please can anyone tell me which bit of the inside of the phone (or the back cover?) relates to the capacative button brightness?

I changed my back cover from black to white and after doing so the middle button of the three is VERY dim. It looks like it's not lit at all but if I look at it in the dark it is actually still lit but extremely dimly. I was really careful when taking the phone apart but I must have disturbed something that controls these buttons. The two on either side are nice and bright as normal. I have no idea which bit I should be looking at to try to fix it.

I'd be very grateful for any help.

[HTC One X] eggshaped:
FIXED

In case anyone stumbles upon this in the future with the same problem the fix was really simple. I located the flex with the lights attached at the bottom, lifted it up and there was a thin black sticky band underneath which I assume was used to hold the flex cable down. Part of the black tape had covered the light, therefore making it less bright. I used tweezers to pull it away and lay it flat and all my lights were of equal brightness again. Simples! :)

Wonder if Verizon backup is accessing Sim contacts at midnight during backup and setting this off
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kwamayze:
It's a standard feature of GSM. Some networks didn't implement as it wasn't widely used. It's used for additional actions such as checking your credit balance, sending credits, recharging your call or data credit and widely used for mobile money in Africa. You get the sim toolkit activated once your sim and network are supported. On old phones this was included as extra SIM options in settings.

It causes no harm. However, this is an interesting take /blog.m-sec.net/2011/how-to-protect-from-sim-toolkit-attack/
