[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dailen:
So here's what I would do

1) Update to Jelly Bean (you can do this with official Motorola OTA updates or more info here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2235946)

2) Power on phone and edit the hex values with Radiocomm see: post 29/30 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1297714&page=3

- - Be PARTICULARLY picky about this part, I found this to be extraordinarily difficult time and time again. Even though I've done it at least 5 or 6 times, I felt like it never went exactly as it should. After changing the value, you might even disconnect, reconnect, and make sure the hex value has changed.

3) Root the phone (this guide seems a little indepth but it works very well once you get it down compared to other methods http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2256439)

4) At this point you have a choice of either modifying stock rom or use custom ROMS. I HIGHLY recommend custom ROMS, the stock ROM is highly bloated. I have found that AOSP based ROMS like Cyanogen or Paranoid (personal recommendation), work considerably better in general in addition to being more suited for GSM usage.

Should you choose custom roms then here's what I would do next, I have found this is the easiest way to consistently use GSM:

a) You'll want to install SafeStrap or something similar (I've only got experience with SafeStrap personally and understand the developer has suspended his project from future updates but still works for me) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1391875

b) Once you have that, you can download almost any ROM, extract it to a folder, change the build.prop with the proper GSM configuration you listed, find the line for "ro.telephony.ril.v3" inside build.prop and add "signalstrength," (including punctuation) immediately after the equal sign. Don't bother with local.prop.

c) Re-zip it just like it was before, then install the ROM in a SafeStrap slot (probably want to add GApps)

d) Once it's booted, you can connect to wifi to setup the Google Acct and whatnot, then (this part varies slightly depending on the rom but AOSP roms are all pretty similar) go into the Settings: Mobile Networks: Access Point Names: Select the carrier of your choice (there's literally hundreds preloaded)

Lot of detail but a lot of specifics left out, if I can expound on anything please let me know which areas are too vague.

UPDATE: Here's the ROM I'm currently using. I literally install this thing with safe strap along with the pa gapps modular micro and just use it. No editing files, no thing. Just use it.

Above and Beyond

Wow! This is above and beyond! Truly thankful for this guide. I'm fairly familiar with ROMs in general and putting Safestrap on the Bionic... but the fact that you hand-edited the PA ROM and provided a link... I deserve not such service! :)

Will attempt a flash tonight and let you know. Still plan to keep stock 232 ICS leak, since it will never get used once PA is installed! :) Will reply tomorrow if I get everything working!

Thanks again!

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

What version of Safestrap are you running? I installed 3.73, and once installed, my stock ICS 232 gets stuck on the boot animation forever. FXZ back to 905 and then update to 232 to get back into ICS...

I dunno, maybe I'm making a big deal out of wanting to keep the path back to gingerbread. I should probably just bite the bullet and go up to stock JB first as you mentioned...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dailen:
For some reason I distinctly remember their being a link between the stock rom, and those installed in rom slots. I'm currently using 3.7.2. I also THINK I recall that a while back when I wanted to use SafeStrap 3.5 I only could do so if I upgrade to JB. I can't find any documentation to back these up so take it with a grain of salt. Personally, I'm one who upgrades and never looks back so maybe I'm just biased haha

(P.S. your eyes do not deceive you, my username changed from Plasmaleto to Dailen, special request made to XDA webmasters!)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dailen:
I've made a tool to convert Bionic ROMS to GSM ready if anyone would like to give it a shot :) I'm likely to move or relocate this at some point btw

[Motorola Droid Bionic] gully52:
Dailen (the artist formerly known as Plasmaleto),

I took the plunge and updated to stock JB, rooted, installed Safestrap 3.73, then installed your pre-GSM-configured version of Paranoid ROM. Rebooted, connected to wifi, got everything setup. Powered down, inserted my T-Mobile SIM card, and voila! Full HSPA signal! 5.01mb/sec download, 1.22mb/sec upload. Outgoing calls work! Incoming calls work! Data works! Super cool! Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dailen:
Congrats! Glad that worked for ya! :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] gully52:
Just trying your tool on the CM11 M11 release. Will let you know how it works. Do you know, if I came across some older ROMs... JB 4.2/4.3, would your tool work for them as well?

Also, since you're a Bionic nut, I don't suppose you have a version of CarbonROM sitting around from before they dropped support for the Bionic? I contacted them and was surprised to learn that they have absolutely ZERO archive of old version downloads.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dailen:
Well in theory the answer is yes. The way my script works, it changes only what it finds. If you can send me a link to one of the roms you'd like to try I'd be happy to take a look at the build.prop and tell you for sure if anything is missing.

Also, I don't recall having the carbonrom sitting around anywhere but I see their github still has the source posted, I suppose I could always try compiling for you. I got a couple ubuntu systems running I could put to some good use. Might take a few days.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] meandg5:
Give it a shot!

Going to give this a shot right now on a friends Bionic. Unfortunately have to wait a few days for the Straight Talk Sim card to arrive:(. I'll report back. ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] meandg5:
Think I screwed up!

I believe I have screwed up. I tried the radiocomm program last night and everything was green for me but I didn't write to the phone. I installed the pa_targa-4.6-BETA5-20141022.GSM.zip file, and the Gapps for that ROM. When I tried to go into Radiocomm again, it comes up red when I try to read (1877). Do I still need to do that or will the phone be good to go once I pop in an AT&T sim card? Thanks, Howie
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dailen:
Radiocomm is EXTREMELY particular and I swear it only works 3 out of 5 times. I seem to recall that when I did it, it wasn't "writing" the settings properly and I had to change the USB connection type. If my current setup is any indicator, it was set to "PST USB Driver". I also recall that one time I uninstalled the bionic drivers and reinstalled them and it started working.

It's probably worth mentioning that I would connect to your phone in Radiocomm while in the stock rom if possible. There's no telling if there's some quirky specific USB driver in the rom that Radiocomm depends on. When in doubt, try a different machine. Be sure to get the Bionic USB drivers working 100% (meaning no device errors in device manager) prior to doing the radiocomm stuff.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shofar1:
On my Note 8, the S-Planner sync with my Google Calendar on my PC with no issues and visa versa.

On my Note 3, the S-Planner will not sync unless Google Calendar is also installed and active.

Why???

Is it the difference between 4.2 and 4.3, 4.4??

Is there anyway to just use the S-Planner and get it to sync with Note 8 and Desktop?

Thanks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlr8me:
Hi all,

I just got my phone and rooted it with iorooted.

All went well and was back into the device.

Then I installed a lcd density changer and changed it to 320 and rebooted now phone is stuck on lg screen and not progressing like stuck.

I was able to power it off with button up and power down for 20 second. I also went into recovery mode to try a factory erase reset but it still is stuck on lg screen and not progressing after rebooting.

Furthermore, I was able to go into download mode and it says root at bottom performing firmware upgrade but the bar is not progressing so I turned it off after 5minutes

Any ideas?

Really upset on first night using device.

TIA

Just follow this post, go back to stock and start all over again. If you still have recovery you can use adb to push rom zip to internal storage and flash it. Btw I'm not sure but I think that changing density lower than 380 on g2 will cause issues.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlr8me:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Since I was using a 4.2.2 version can I grab the uk kdz and flash that onto it?

and then follow the steps as per that link?

Also is it possible to use a tool to enter the phone and modify the lcd density in build.prop back to default?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] yodi:
I had been experiencing a lot of dropped calls and this horrible buzzing noise through my bluetooth, so I exchanged my 8125 through Cingular's XBM process. I sat down this morning to upgrade my ROM on the new phone and noticed that I have:

ROM version: 2.25.11.1 WWE

ROM Date: 5/11/06

Radio Version: 02.25.11

Protocol version: 4.1.13.12

ExtROM version: 2.25.11.102

I have heard rumors that with this ROM you unable to upgrade to any other ROM, has anyone else heard this?

If anyone is interested in this ROM please pm me and let me know. I have never uploaded a ROM to this site though so I will need someone to explain what I need to do.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kamakazi17:
It looks like you have the G4 chip. Youre not going to be able to change your rom unless you unlock the CID. and to do that you're going to need to pay a site to do that.

They don't have any programs as of now that can unlock a G4 chip CID.

gluck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] yodi:
Thanks for the info! That sucks, but still thanks for letting me know.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
WAIT!!!!!

You didn't give enough info to determine your flash chip version.

Look at the IPL/SPL versions (have to reset and look in the upper left of screen).

If they look like 2.25 then you have G3...

If they look like 2.25.001 then you have G4.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Being as that you have a new phone and you can't install the official Cingular (HTC) update maybe you should ***** to Cingular...

Please don't take that the wrong way as I meant no harm! But you probably have the G4 chip and possibly it won't work with the HTC "official" update....

We need to put the ball in Cingular's court. How is the average person going to react to this? I think that person would return the device and possiblty switch to another provider, and why not?

Just my 2 cents worth ...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mobileBREEZE:
can someone put me up to speed about this "official HTC update" business? i just got my 8125 and just found out its a G3 from the advice above. so what are my advantages / disadvantages and where can i find this update? thanksabillion
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] sk0t:
Am I wrong in that you can go into the Device Information (Start -> Settings -> System) to determine which chip you have as well? Right now with the 1.8 ROM, mine says M-Systems G3 as well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] yodi:
No offense taken. From what I understand I have the official Cingular (HTC) update on the phone I received via XBM. The only real problem that I thought I may have, was not being able to update in the future if something else came along. The Flash chip type that is showing in device info is simply M-Systems (doesn't say whether or not it's G3 or G4) and the IPL/SPL is 2.25 rather than 2.25.001, so by this assume (which I hate to do) that I have the G3 and not the G4. I have not tried to CID unlock as of yet, spent more time than what I wanted today installing all other apps just to get everything going.

As far as returning the phone, I am an agent manager for Cingular and got a pretty decent deal on my 8125, after selling my treo 650, and have a rate plan that . . . let's say would be impossible to match with any other wireless provider. Speaking of the average person though, I don't beleive the average person would be upgrading the ROM on their phone as the majority of people these days are carrying RAZR's; (Ahhh the sheep) and most don't have the luxury of returning their equipment outside their buyer's remorse time period, due not being able to drop $175 per line for liquidation damages. I do however appreciate your honesty and point of veiw though.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
I agree on the average person (read sheepeople) ...

In your situation I would take the plunge and CID and SIM unlock it and retry again. Actually I'd downgrade to the Button 1.05, copy EnableRapi to the device and execute it, run the Lokiwiz unlock on the CID and SIM (verifying that the program reports that it was successful. The Lokiwiz program will soft reset the phone after each of those two steps if it was successful.

Good luck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] yodi:
This is pretty much what I had decided to do, I will have to wait a few days before I get it done as my schedule this week is pretty hectic. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again for your advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PakaPakaxz:
OK i need serious help here.

I got Galaxy Nexus GSM , with broken volume keys (Hardware problem-cannot be fixed.)

So i cant get into download mode or fastboot mode you see..

Now, when i turn up the phone its get stuck on the GOOGLE logo with the Unlcoked Bootloader sign on the bottom.

At the computer at this stage its says ADB connected but "adb unauthorized". On Windows 7 the driver is "samsung mobile mtp device-FAILED".

So ... I cant use Odin, i cant use Fastboot, i cant use ADB .. i cant use any toolkit...

I need any suggestion on how make this phone up again, with or without full reset .. i dont care you know ..

Thank you !

Hey guys I heard there is an update coming and decided today to just look if my phone is up-to-date or not. Well when I search for updates it tells me I need an motorola-acc...Stupid me just deleted all the motorola-service apps a while ago and of course I didnt make an backup.

Could somebody maybe upload following apps:

Com.motorola.blur.setup

Com.motorola.blur.updater

Com.motorola.Motocare

Very nice. I think I will give it a try soon.

I'm just curious. How does it work actually? Are the libs gonna be invoked by the running system automatically? As far as I can see the updater-script only extracts the files. Don't they have to be included somewhere?

Or do I need a special audio player for this?

Nope it replaces some libs. And changes your audio policy. The real trick is you'll notice I removed dspmanger and replaced the

[HTC One Mini] corgan1001:
I have a rather odd request. I've been dealing with my phone locking up quite a bit, and I really started digging into this issue over the weekend. I think it may have started after I flashed this some time back when you originally posted it. I flashed the file for the proper H-boot, and i don't suspect it's an issue with what you put together, I think something just went wrong along the way.

Would you be able to make a .zip to revert the files back to the original ones?

Just flash a new nightly it'll erase the mod.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Hi JukkaP,

You probably want to post this question in the N7100 Note 2 forum. (This is the Verizon SCH-I605 Note 2 forum... which is a different model than your device). I think you might find more help from other N7100 owners and accurate information for your specific device in that forum. Here is the link to the N7100 Note 2 forum-- http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-2/help

Also, I am not 100% certain, but I am afraid that you probably bricked your phone when you Odin flashed the Verizon SCH-I605 Firmware to your N7100. You may want to research to see if there is a way to unbrick your phone without getting it Jtagged.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] JBT1:
Hi,

Fresh new owner of the phone, I'm also concerned by the "bug" (if it can be called a bug) of the stuttering notification sound.

I did a quick fix of it, just by modifying the sound file and adding a blank in the begining of the sound.

You can find attached a modified "notification" sound that fix the stuttering for me.

To use it, copy the file in any place of the phone (I put it in root of sdcard) and then select it in notification sound menu, hit the quaver symbol in upper right corner and find it in the "Xperia" artist name, sound name should be "Notification_mod".

Enjoy
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] JBT1:
With the attachment.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] munch77:
Thanks, I use my own mp3 notifications, but just added a 'blank' to the beginning as you recommended and voila no stutter, lol :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] dtosun:
How did you do that. Which Program?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] munch77:
I just cut and appended less than a second of blank audio to the beginning of my chosen notification mp3 file.

I used an old version of sony soundforge i had on my desktop, but should be lots of free audio editing software available i imagine?
