[Google Chromecast] mojolive:
I have a question about this.. I live in Sweden.. I have been using a non rooted chrome-cast, with the internet connection.. WITH the uno telly handling my DNS.. from the router (airport extreme 2013 model) with out any problems meaning.. I have a google account from the states, as well as a netflix account from the state .. using chrome-cast and uno telly, i was able to stream netflix (any region) as well as VUDU, and amazon prime, with out any problems.. So why would I need to change the DNS?

Today I wanted to watch HBO go.. which would play on my android tel or table.. (apple ipad included) but HBO go would not stream to my tv via chromecast.. Black tv screen .. so I rooted it .. flash-cast, installed PwnedCast ROM .. I did nothing else.. and HBO go works with chromecast ..

So why would I want to change the DNS servers.. on the chrome cast to someone like the unlocator or Uno Telly..? what advantage would I gain.. ?
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
This is mostly a gain for people who have routers that do not intercept DNS traffic, which from what you are describing is a feature of your router.

For people who dont have this feature, then the chromecast defaults to only using google's DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) which will not allow people outside of the US to use Netflix, HBO Go, and some other streaming services.
[Google Chromecast] mojolive:
Thank you for the info.. i understand a lot better now.. thanks again.. by the way . I donate a little to you via pay.. :)

Thanks, its appreciated :)
[Google Chromecast] y2whisper:
Ran into an issue where Songza and Vevo will not cast. I get routed to the unotelly website to update my ip address. This is weird as everything else works fine, including red bull tv and post tv. Will try the unlocator settings to see if it works, just wanted to see if there were any other recommendations.

EDIT Tried the unocloactor settings and got a black screen.

everything works fine on my other chromecast (stock and updated)
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
DNS services like Unlocator only work for a specific set of supported web sites. You can find the list on their web site here: https://unlocator.com/channels/. Songza is one of those supported sites, so it should work. Red Bull.tv is not geo-blocked currently - their video content is internationally licensed - so doesn't need Unlocator.
[Google Chromecast] y2whisper:
yeah songza in general isn't blocked in canada but I have the custom dns address for Netflix to use. Really weird that it doesn't work on either of these. I think its gotta be something with how the app works.
[Google Chromecast] winfirewire:
mega download link in OP is not working is there a better one?

never mind in is just slow
[Google Chromecast] y2whisper:
Update.

Looks like songza is not supported through unolocator when combined with an added device like Chromecast or sonos.

You will need to use the Google dns servers for that. Might be a way through your router I'm not sure.

Sucks. luckily I have two CCs that will help for the interim.

Unotelly Dns

Hi,

Glad i found this thread. Great work on the mods for chromecast which make the device that more appealing. I would love to see an option via Eureka webpanel for you to be able to input/change dns to any of your choosing. That would be an awesome feature. Cant wait to see what the future holds for us :good::D
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
That's actually already added to the panel. This mod is technically depreciated.

I will close this thread to prevent any future confusion.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Critical Detox:
I'm just saying but if you had to ask first the answer is usually no. Anyways back to the topic on hand, changing a imei is illegal, and I'm pretty sure xda doesn't condone anything that allows for illegal activity's or anything of the such. However I am not a moderator so I guess you'll have to find out soon enough. Hope this helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
That's not 100% accurate, if changing imei of a phone you own to another phone you own to get it to work on a specific network that is allowed and there is even guides for this on xda, if the main purpose would be malicious than not at all is it allowed

I would recommend finding a senior moderator and pming them with your question and explain how you do it and why people would have a need to use your method. If this is 99% all legal then the moderator may allow but if there is a relatively illegal use then chances are it would be no

i can not install this via windows as the phone does not get to the bootloader on start up so i have copied the rom.zip to an sd card and renamed it PD98IMG.zip but the phone does not see it during HBOOT so i am wondering if the file is correct after all.

any help appreciated.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacktrix2006:
Ok simply run the RUU in Windows, Do not press next after you run it and then type into the run box (Windows Key + R) %temp% then when your in temp directory look for rom.zip once you have found it place some where like the root of c:.

After this boot the phone into Fastboot USB and then type fastboot oem rebootRUU this will reboot it into the right mode.

Then type fastboot flash zip c:\rom.zip

hope this helps.

Hello,

I'm trying to install the P.A.C Man rom on my Xperia Sola. I got the boot.img from the .zip file and successfully flashed it via fastboot.

After that I rebooted and the "Xperia Sony Smartphone" splash came up and the led flashed once. Usually I would go to CWM from there by pressing volume+. But now just nothing happens; the splashscreen keeps showing and I can't enter CWM to flash the rom istself.

Did I do something wrong or did I miss any important steps?

I would appreciate any help!

Is it possible to unlock the Verizon version of the S4? I'm deploying in 4 weeks and would like to use my phone with international carriers. I have an SCH-I545 build and I'm still running on stock. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PetrichorXFi:
I think ATT has begun to unlock phones internationally when asked.

Verizon? Not sure... one think to check is if the Verizon GS4 supports a carrier in the country you travel to.

Take a look at Leo Laporte's Tech Guy show... he has callers ask this quetion on average every other week... I think he has show notes on his site now days... techguylabs.com
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ppat324wi:
Verizon phones are unlocked out of the box, but you have to make sure that the country you are going to has a GSM network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] furballbeethoven:
After a lot of searching, I decided to ask this here:

I have a Verizon S4, but I was wondering if it was actually unlocked out-of-box or if there is something I have to do in order to use it with, for instance, Cricket, or U.S. Cellular. I have done lots of rooting/developing for Android, but have never tried to use an Android phone with a differing carrier. Can anyone help or point me to a thread that helps? (Again, did lots of Googling and XDA-searching)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
The phone is GSM-unlocked. This means that you buy a SIM, plug it in, then add the proper APN to enable data. (Settings, Connections, More networks, Mobile networks, Access Point Names). The "+" (Add APN) button is disabled if you have a VZ SIM installed but will be enabled if you insert a non-VZ SIM.

Whoever you get the SIM from will tell you what to enter for the APN.

Whether or not it'll work and how fast a network you'll get depends on the bands that the local carrier uses.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] malhotra.aakash:
HI k1mu,

So do you mean to say if I purchase this device with full price from VZW ~$400 (month to month plan),

the next thing I can do is take off VZW SIM and would it work on my AT&T GSM SIM in US?

:confused::confused::confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Maybe. While the VZW version is GSM-unlocked for international use, it is unclear how well it works with US GSM carriers. Some people say they can get it to work, some say they can't. Theoretically, it should only take you putting in an AT&T SIM then plugging in the APN data for it to work, but some people still say it won't.

So, you should be able to, but going by the accounts of XDA members, it doesn't always work, which may or may not come down to user error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] malhotra.aakash:
Thanks joshm.1219,

It still leaves me in a dilemma.. I do really want to get a "S4 mini" model but don't want to stuck up with CDMA providers to be true. Might want to use with ATT or Tmobile or H2O.. I visited the VZW store and the model has option under networks as

1. Global

2. LTE/CDMA

3. GSM/UTMS

Now the Qs are,

1. If this model does have a SIM card slot, how at the first point VZW has lock on it

2. When i asked the VZW associate, he was not sure whether they ever do unlock the device or not

3. If I am ready to pay off complete price of the device which is ~400, what else I would need from them to really 'UNLOCK' it?

4. Is there any means by root/flashing to make such model work for US GSM carriers like H2O or even T-mobile.

Sorry to be so annoying but m new to all these things and quite confused :crying::(:rolleyes:

many Thx in advance..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Sorry I can't be of more help, I've been on Verizon for 10 years now, but it is by all intents & purposes, fully SIM-unlocked. It's simply unclear as to why some people report problems of using Verizon phones on US GSM carriers. If you really don't want to worry about it & are willing to pay full price, purchase a device through the carrier you want to use it on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigkaoz:
here is the code to choose network

you might need to change the network frequency to gsm if you wanna use it on att or tmobile and when you wanna switch back to verizon choose wcdma try dialing *#*#4636#*#*:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
I've had people argue with me over this, but the fact is that NO Verizon LTE phone is SIM-locked. None. Nada.

People who claim differently are simply misinformed. (My I545 comes up on AT&T when I plug in my UK SIM and switch to GSM.)

Not to say that all VZ phones are unlocked - my Inc2 had to be unlocked before it would work with that same SIM. If I remember right, it wouldn't connect in the US, either, even after being unlocked. Not so for the GS4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jerryatric:
I appreciate the posts here from people who know. As for me, I am switching to tmobile and will attempt to use this there. If it doesnt work out, I will sell it on swappa and get a nexus 5!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Karumbaiah:
Hi,

Verizon S4 with 4.3 is international unlocked by default.

You just need to select network mode 'GLOBAL'. Then add the right APN.

I am using Indian GSM SIM with the GLOBAL mode selected. All is well for me.

I can provide screenshots if anybody wanna see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
Verizon phones are unlocked out of the box and they DO work fine on US carriers I'm running my Verizon S4 right now on AT&T and I also ran it on tmobile for short time,

even works with Walmart straight talk and Net10 as those are just subsidies of T Mobile and AT&T anyway.

so don't sweat it if you have a verizon phone that uses a sim card, you can run it on any network that uses a SIM card US or international.

calls in and out MMS works fine

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

to answer your question simply yes.

let's say I take my phone to Spain are somewhere in the UK, I'll go to store buy a SIM card for local network and BAM local phone number in Europe making phone calls, you can even get Data to work if you have that local carrier's APN settings

no unlocking is required because it is not locked.

other companies AT&T, Sprint, t-mobile, yes you have to get The phone sim unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
This is 100% correct. NO LTE phones on verizon are sim locked. They are REQUIRED to keep them unlocked because of their agreement with the FCC for their use of the spectrum they lease. NO OTHER CARRIER must abide by these rules. Only VZW. Sprint I've heard will unlock ANY phone that is capable if you ask them too, and AT&T will NOT unlock any of their phones unless it 2 years old and out of contract (which makes no sense if you have to pay them while under contract anyway). There was a big deal about the Iphone 5 when it came out with LTE for verizon. If you bought a Verizon Iphone, you could put an ATT sim in it and it works, but not an ATT on VZW because ATT keeps them locked.

The Dinc 2 above was NOT an LTE device. Therefore no sim card....and it wouldn't work on most overseas networks anyway as it was a CDMA only phone. I believe VZW tested the limits of the "unlocked" SIM with their first few LTE phones. My Rezound worked with a GSM network sim....but voice and SMS only. It took some unlocking of the bootloader and rooting to run a special Rom to get Data to work on it.

I am heading to the Caribbean in a few weeks, and I will be using a rented SIM card to be able to message back and forth with my wife (with a data based messenger service as data rates are far cheaper than SMS rate there)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
I just spent a week in the UK with an ekit.com SIM in my Verizon GS4 - no problem with getting service, no Verizon charge (even though I was on the Vodaphone network for at least some times.)

And the dinc 2, while not LTE, was CDMA/GSM - not just CDMA (yes, the dinc was CDMA-only), so it did accept a SIM card. I'm using that in the GS4 now that it's cut down to micro SIM.

That phone WAS SIM-locked, but VZ happily unlocked it. For the GS4, I didn't have to do anything with VZ to use it off their network.

I have to go to the Missed call folder on GV to discover the missed call. If someone does leave a message, I do get my notification of the voice message.

This reminds me of the problems I had on my old Droid X with GV and the stock VZ Motorola ROM on that phone. My last phone a Gnex running stock AOSP never had an issue with GV. I suspect that this has something to do with LG's phone/dialer app interacting with GV....

I am also running lightflow for notification, but that shouldn't have any impact on just having the damn phone ring on an incoming call.
