Hey everyone,

I have the verizon G2 and I am going to be working on a golf course this summer and I am looking for the strongest, most heavy duty case out there. It tends to get pretty wet and humid, so is there anything in the way of moisture protection out there? Bulkness isn't an issue, I just need something that will provide maximum protection. Thanks!

Ballistic tough jacket is the only option that is offered for the Version lg g2. Zerolemon looks cool, but doesn't fit the verizon model. The ballistic case works very well for the Verizon g2. Had the case on my phone since November and its protected my phone many a times

My cousin just came back from Korea with an iFace Sensation case? I know the name is not really great, but it seems to be pretty nice. Searched online and found an article on yanko design talking about how it works, shock absorbent and all that. Wanted to see if anyone else tried it out before I took the plunge and picked one up on Amazon.

Have you tried a hard reset or a new rom?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Koksie:
If you mean the simlock: search for a thread on "lokiwiz", that enables you to remove the simlock from your phone and CID unlock your phone so you can flash another ROM on it. If you are talking about the password, do a hard reset or flash a new ROM on it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jugges:
I think I'm getting the same problems as the OP. I also bought a MDA off ebay, that's still locked to T-mobile, but I dont have a T-mobile SIM card. So I can't use the "lokiwiz" program because I can't even access the OS. I also cant get my IMEI number for the same reason. So I can't buy a code online. So I'm stuck. I'm also not in the US so I can't borrow my friend's SIM to unlock it or anything like that. Would flashing the MDA to a new rom stop this? I'll appreciate any help, thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] babysheep:
Hi, first off, how do you do a hard reset? and I tired new rom but I am not sure if i did it right or not . I have just read the in t-mobile site to perform a hard reset but due to phone lock, i can not hit start and go into settings.. Please help! I know this is not a sim lock. The phone is asking for a 4 digit phone lock password.. any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] freezor:
For a hard reset you need to hold the comm-button on the upper left corner of the phone and the camera-button on the right side of the phone while it boots up. the esiest way is to do a soft reset and then hold the two buttons till you get the installation screen on your phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Koksie:
I think this thread is a bit confusing, since there are two locks being discussed in here right now.

babysheep is having troubles with the password that is set by the previous owner, that can be solved by the hard reset as said by freezor. His advice is a fine way to hard reset, the T-Mobile way has the same results, but is not possible due to the password. Use freezor's method and you should be ok.

Jugges is having simlock problems. Can you contact the seller to ask for the IMEI code? Alternatively, you can perhaps buy a T-Mobile prepaid SIM, although I am not sure that would work. Perhaps prepaid SIMs are also locked from the phone. Flashing a new ROM will NOT affect the SIMlock, so that is no option for you. Perhaps you better post your problem in the lokiwiz thread, perhaps they can help you better than we can here.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jugges:
I think I should have read into Lokiwiz deeper. I didnt realize that you can still sync with your computer when there is no SIM installed. This allowed me to install the Lokiwiz cab, and unlock it. So everythings working now. Thanks for the help.

This a bounty thread for Root only on the Verizon HTC One M8. You can post your pledges here and I will add them to OP.

S-Off Pledges

Why a new thread for root?

The s-off thread was specifically for s-off, and later I realized a lot of peeps might be happy with root only. Hence a separate thread for root.

Do not pledge cats, dogs etc. we are talking paypal and dollars

Please do not send any money to anyone unless it's proved that root has been achieved and made public here on xda.

Please do not start a cat fight in here as that would result in the thread getting locked.

I will try to update the thread on a daily basis. Do not come in here and ask when it will be done because we do not know the answer to that and you might get flamed.

I do not own a Verizon HTC One M8 but I am just trying to help.

How to Claim the Bounty

Make a post in this thread with the following:

Proving it works with appropriate photos and/or screenshots

Providing full step-by-step instructions for which anyone else can follow

Wait for at least one member to follow the same method and confirm it works the same on their fully stock device

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Seluryar:
My brother is giving me his old Verizon Galaxy S3, I am pretty novice when it comes to this kind of stuff. I have been trying research this but am coming up with conflicting reports across google search that this phone is unlocked from the factory/had a firmware update to unlock it or that it was never really unlocked. Most of that information is from 2012.

I have also come across videos teaching how to unlock it and how to flash to other carriers, but the links to the files required are no longer on the servers they are linked to..

I wish to know what are my options today on which prepaid carriers to take it to with minimal effort and minimal money to spend on my end(unlocking/flashing software)

Some topics I have seen mention that sometimes data doesnt work on prepaid carriers or that the phone needs to have its apn changed via an app that most likely needs to be paid for.

There is a local store that I frequently visit that sells prepaid services, They are trying to sell me on Simple Mobile. But I am also trying to find out of this phone can be easily put on Verizons current prepaid service. The store I mentioned also accepts Page Plus payments as well as Spot Mobile.

I am currently using a Galaxy Prevail on Boost.

So out of my above carrier mentions, Which would be the easiest to set this phone up on?

Hi guys. I have an S3 4g (i9305T) bought unlocked here in Australia and it used to display "DC" in stock form whenever it was downloading data - play store, browser etc. Was also quite fast considering the 3G virgin sim card I'm using. I have since flashed a few ROMs, settling on SlimKat 4.4.2 for the time being (battery drain using pacman was crazy!) Now, the phone is working perfectly and I don't really want to change but I've lost my dual carrier (DC) data connection, having to settle for the much slower 3G, H+ type of connection.

I read that HTC one MID can be changed, also on this forum.

My question is, did anyone here with HTC one sv tried to change their MID(Model ID)?

This will allow us to use the available RUU posted here for our device.
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Yes you can change it. Its rather easy to do. However, in regards to the RUU, given the specifications of our K2 variants it is recommended to use the proper RUU. Its not as diverse as seen with the HTC One devices. Though, may be useful in partial to the K2_U and K2_UL devices. However, with K2_CL and K2_PLC_CL, you will want to use them as designed with reference to Boost and Cricket or else you may have issue's.
[HTC One SV] jhun24:
Yes, thats what I am thinking also. Just the mid and cid, you cant crossfirmware from k2_u to k2_ul or k2_ul to k2_cl or any regarding to k2 versions. I just noticed in my current firmware(k2_ul htc asia wwe cid__044) it can be installed on two different mid. I cant remember what are those since i am currently away from my pc but i am sure that there two..

The mid specified in the ruu of k2_ul europe and the other one mid of my firmware is identical. So it might be using the same hardware i think. Same K2_ul and mid. And so this question comes to my mind.

Anyways. Ill try it some other time when there is already a kitkat update for our device via ota.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Some info for you: asian k2ul contains a different radio.img than european (and maybe more?), so i don't know if its a good idea to do that!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] maxh:
I have a bluetooth USB dongle that I got off of ebay. It is made by Liwei Electronics, and the software that comes with it is called BlueSoleil.

I am trying to set up activesync syncing via bluetooth on my cingular 8125, and it's been frustrating since I started knowing nothing at all about bluetooth (or activesync). I think I got close, though, yet will never be able to get there.

I can get the computer and phone discoverable to eachother, but of the "services" possible (such as personal area networking, lan access, file transfer, information syncronization service, etc.) the only services available to me are dialup networking service, bluetooth serial port service, and object push service. Not all that useful to me.

I think the problem is that I don't have the com port settings the same on my device and on my computer. My wizard seems to have only 2 settings: com6 or com7. The only ones available for selection in this BlueSoleil software are coms 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 27, and 28. And now for the incredibly gay part: In the help menu for BlueSoleil, I found this: "Some applications only allow you to use a limited range of COM port numbers. If the application does not allow you to use a COM port number assigned by BlueSoleil, you will not be able to use BlueSoleil with your application."

:x :x :x

So does that mean I'm screwed and have to get a different dongle? Or is there some way to set the wizard to one of those com ports? Or is my problem something totally different?

Sorry just too hard to get it to work with PDA
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kltye:
If you go to Control Panel, do you see an icon for "Bluetooth Local COM"? (or something along those lines) Some BT software adds that to your control panel and allows you to add some lower com port numbers. [The issue with some programs is that they don't "know" how to use high com ports - i.e. those above COM9]. Even if you can't do that, you can still attempt my "instructions" below.

As for getting BT AS to work, the most reliable way I get it to work is this:

1) Open up AS.

2a) Make sure your phone is ready to discover the services on your desktop within the next tap.

2b) Open up Connection Settings in AS. Immediately after that, have your phone discover BT services on your desktop.

With any luck you'll see ActiveSync as one of the services. The point behind all that is that I've noticed AS will probe your COM ports when you hit Connection Settings (evidenced by the fact that my BT systray icon changes color when the radio is in use). When it probes the ports, that's when your phone is able to see the AS service on your desktop.

Hope that helps.

For those that are enjoying any of the many international ported roms listed here and have a MJ7 build and are on Safestrap, the attached zip should enable WiFi Tether and unlock all 25 of the available toggles. This should work for those on MK2 also but I do not have one to test it with. I've tried this on several of the roms here (Foxhound, Nemesis, BluMak2000, Echoe, Duxter, and M3A1) and it has worked on all. The only problem I encountered is with roms like Nemesis that has custom toggles (including flashlight). Those will not be included with the other 25 toggles after this is flashed. This doesn't create toggles, only enables existing toggles. I'm a little hesitant in posting this as I am not a developer in any sense of the word. This is Surge's work that I managed to tweak a little bit in order to get it to work on these ported roms. Like anything else, do a back up first and flash at your own risk.
