yah the 7110 was a funny one .. matrix style .. had 2 of em since my first on crashed on a wall on a bad night lol

yah those are the settings i mean,

u think that if i did that setting on the nokia b4 it will still remain on the sim?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
No the sim card wouldnt retain that sort of info, when you setup sim lock it retains THAT setting but not phone specific ones, there isnt much security-wise as standard in WM5-6. Perhaps look for a 3rd party solution to this??? Or if you are feeling adventurous develop your own!? (in the xda-devs spirit!)

Hell yes the 7110 was a GREAT phone ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kartboy:
I was considering this option,

since i got some clients who prefer using blackberry (i dun get why)

with the reason that,

if u fail 5times ur code @ boot the device getz erased,

which is pretty good for privacy i think,

i mean if i lose my phone

i can lock my sim with the provider easily but u dun need to activate the sim to b able to check all the info on the phone, which scarez me more

ow by the way the radio 38 any good?

installing it now :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Seems ok yer, My 3G and GSM are both still very good (most improvment was from 1.27, the radios since have all been very good). My main reason for upgrading to 1.38.00.10 was that the GPS chip is a dead end, so i figured having a radio that isnt capable of turning it on will remove that headache if it goes wrong, and also my previous radio (1.35.00.11) was a trinity radio and the new one is a hermes radio, better all round ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kartboy:
lol I am a retard,

clicked the wrong filename.. installed the 35.00.11 instead of the 38.00.11

will keep the forum updated bout it...

Looking for assistance rooting a Sonim XP6 (on AT&T) running 4.4.2 with a MSM8926 chipset. It's a cool rugged little candybar phone with an actual numeric keypad! Don't see many of these around...

Have tried all the typical rooting avenues around no such luck. I'm able to get into recovery and fastboot mode and that's about it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...the phone has only been out for a few weeks so if there is any information I can provide to help breaking this device i'm all for it.

Wifi Tethering working

For the 2 or 3 people using this phone I did figure out how to make the hotspot work. Once rooted download root explorer. Go to /system and enable read/write - should get a superuser request. Long press on build.prop and then open with the text editor. Scroll down to #system prop for Service Entitlement. Change att.service.entitlement=true to false. At the very end add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true. Save, verify the changes took effect, then reboot and enjoy. This worked for me, I don't know if it will work for you but give it a try.

It makes the perfect portable wifi hotspot that can be used almost anywhere in any kind of weather. The 4 Ah battery is nice too.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueskiesoki3:
Wifi tethering enabled

Just wanted to say thanks.

I used your tip to get my hotspot working on XP5700 with kingroot and a Bluetooth mouse.

By the way if anyone needs it, to enable adb on XP5 :

*#*#2387#*#*

That will open developer menu. Check USB debugging enabled

You can install apks over adb just fine. This is how I got kingroot.

Thanks again for the build.prop edits.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjglenn:
The XP5 - you mean the neutered androidish brick of a phone from Sonim? I have one of those too and as soon as I find it I'm going to give this a try. This along with the build.prop hack takes something that is useless and makes it into something very useful. I know the XP6 will run the hotspot for several hours on a charge, I'm sure the XP5 would even be better - coupled with the $60 Cricket unlimited plan would be amazing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueskiesoki3:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjglenn:

If anyone is messing around with the XP5700 deleting the browser breaks the launcher. Be aware...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueskiesokie:
I found that the XP5700 can use bluetooth mouse and function with some touch only apps. It is still really limited on apps that work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjglenn:
The Bluetooth mouse is remarkably fantastic with the otherwise unremarkable device
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjglenn:
So if anybody finds this, or anybody cares, here's what I have working on the not-so-useless-after-all XP5700:

I ran a WiFi hotspot with my unlimited Cricket sim and watched several movies yesterday on my tablet - probably about 20 hours and had 35% battery left at the end of the day. Facebook messenger lite - I can't initiate a conversation without a bluetooth mouse but I can reply to messages and as long as I don't press the back arrow I can maintain that thread. It took a while to find a weather radar that would work, but MyRadar will display a weather radar for my location based on my GPS. Its really small and hard to see but it does work. I use Zellowork for my business and it works great on this phone. I keep track of my fuel usage with FuellyFillUp, no problem. I put AdAway on it even though I don't really use the browser. I have a LG bluetooth headset and I was able to load an older version of the Talk & Tone application along with googles TTS engine and it will read my text messages to me. Lastly I installed the TuneIn app and that works well too.

There is nothing special about this ugly, feature phone but for what it is it is great.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueskiesoki3:
what version of tunein did you have sucess with?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjglenn:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueskiesoki3:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjglenn:
I just use the messenger lite. Does SlimSocial include messenger?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueskiesoki3:

Kingroot-ed 1st then superSU-me pro worked for my XP6

hello all, First, Go to System Settings -> About Phone -> Build number. Tap Build number 7 times, unlocking Developer Menu, Find USB Debugging, turn it on, as well as verify ADB USB off. Then I downloaded Kingroot 3.5 and used it via USB on a VMWare Win10 machine. The root executed flawlessly. Then found SuperSU-me 3,99 on ye olde play store, due to xda forum having mentioned it, and having mentioned that kingroot was very shady. Worth every penny. Successfully kept root, installed SuperSU binaries instead, deleted (almost)everything related to KingRoot. I then downloaded x-plore, Titanium Backup, Textra and BusyBox. Using Ti backup was able to scrub the rest of the file system for a remaining Kinguser folder, also scrubbed all that google bloatware. (I like Google and all, but, I'm not intereted in Google play anything. Phone is Awesomer now. Also, due to the fact that the phone comes with 8GB of non-upgradable memory evry bit of space helps....and F-Droid marketplace is great, due to Amaze file manger alone.

Sonim XP6 Engineering Menu *#*#248#*#*.

In order to activate the HS-USB Diag ports. In this menu is a submenu named USBMODE TEST, click it and 2 options appear, User Mode, Test Mode. Select test mode. In the Developer menu, accessed on the XP6 and XP7 via the 7x tap on Build Number as per normal, make sure USB Debugging is enabled as well as mock locations.

(On the sonim XP5, Developer Menu is accessed via *#*#2387#*#*).

Plug your phone in and follow the steps as per QPST. Sonimtech has their own version of QPST called PST, but, it ships in USER mode and I haven't been able to crack it. With that being said, Sonimtech, by previous employees statement, is a very lazy company in the R&D department, therefore, their PST IS QPST minus a bunch of features. Also, getting stock firmware, (Carrier dependent) is a real PINTD to get, actually impossible, there is one repo with an ATT image but I can't get to it yet.

With all that being said, you can compile your own android image to flash onto the sonim, their android is a pretty stock 444 KitKat, (go figure). I'm not able to post files yet, but I will be posting most of the Sonim Developer stuff on XDA once I get it onto my Google Drive.

Found spc code for ATT XP6 for QPST, which is 333333

I have an AT&T xp5 and an xp6. The xp5 has a great radio and makes a decent short range hotspot. The xp6 on the other hand is deaf as a post and the hotspot only reaches a few feet. It's odd that these two phones that appears so much alike have so much different performance. Thanks for your work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] likuid:
Ha! Did not expect this thread to still be around 3 years later...kinda wish I held onto the XP6, was a pretty sweet phone.

I have yet to see any Android phones with a numeric keypad since, such a shame...and the prices the XP6 are going for on eBay - forget it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L7.d3pt:
I like very much the XP6, precisely because of the keypad. I'm ambivalent about posting the PSTTool, which seems to be Sonim Proprietary IP. But I'm pretty certain the DIAG Drivers aren't. Though they are prolly Qualcomm's IP. I joined the Sonim Dev net and all the stuff is available there. They are an Indian company. The phone runs on 4.4.4 (still). But there is an interesting secure framework API and a 12 or 16 Pin connector on the rear of the device which is exposed to development. If one where to join the sonim developers network, they will probably ignore your request, until you call them and then you get access in 24 hours. If there is any sincere interest in getting the HS-USB/Diag Driver and the PSTTool I'll put it on Drive and share it. I'll also have a stock .xqcn and some associated files to get the phone back from a soft brick and what not. Some interesting things I've learned about this phone are... The recovery is built into the firmware so recovery from TWRP is impossible. (Unless you have a stock image and can alter that and load it to a rooted device). Rooting is possible (Kingroot being the only one I found to work reliably and Supersu-me after to remove the Kingroot).

I recommend Linux cli home Launcher (T-ui) to any one who want's easier access to all those funny modules you see but can't access. Wfd coming to mind immediately.

Hi! What QPST drivers you use for XP6?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L7.d3pt:
Hi, I used sonim xp5 ver 1.1 usb drivers. They're available through the sonim Dev network. Or...I've attached a link to the drivers, and the Sonim PST Tool. Dev Mode Password is 123456. (Further proof there of Sonim Dev Laziness evidenced in the strong password used :))

Also.

*#*#34353#*#* -- Field test

also I recommend downloading some form of Launcher such as Linux CLI (T-ui) or Emerald Launcher to get at the Qualcomm Settings menu, there is where you will find the bootloader unlock and some other stuff to help open closed ports.

If you look at the magnetic charger cable connector, pins in front of you, sonim logo on the upper left, flat size facing down (the same as looking at the bottom of your phone, with screen facing up, * key on left, # key on right) :

- pin 4 -> not connected

- pin 5 -> shield (casing of the USB connector, not USB ground)

Hi !

As it seems the place to talk about XP5, i'll give it a try : i own an XP5 from ATT, and i'd like to update it (to be able to configure the wheel on the launcher screen) but as i live outside the US, and don't own an ATT sim card, i can't update it ...

Is there a workaround to do that ? (either edit the wheel or update the phone)

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

Is there a way to fix this ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueskiesoki:
you could try turning xp5700 off.

hold down the VOL UP button and then while holding it down also press the power on button and continue holding until the SONIM logo comes up. Release both. Then when the recovery menu comes up, down arrow to the factory wipe/reset. and click the center button.

Hope that helps

I just talked with a verizon rep in their live chat, they told me that there will be an announcement the 31st about when the phone can be ordered.

Probably the same rep that said it was being released last Saturday, in February, and doesn't know what an N6 is but would be happy to help you purchase a Droid Turbo.
[Nexus 6  General] byproxy:
lol. just spoke with "jerry" via live chat. got same thing i've been getting since initial release:
[Nexus 6  General] thefinancemaster:
I called and talked to a rep last week. He had no information either. I've been (im)patiently waiting since the day Google announced the phone. I was only a couple of days away from being able to upgrade, and had my mind set on a Note 4. I've been getting more frustrated every day, as one of my co-workers went and looked at the N6 at the freaking US Cellular store. US Cellular! They have it before Verizon... I'm concerned that Verizon is taking all of this time to lock the phone as tight as the Note 4, which is still un-rooted on VZW. I live in a small rural area where our ONLY coverage is VZW and USC.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Thank Samsung for that. I don't know why anyone thought differently given the Note 3 bounty is *still* outstanding. And with Android L's change wrt kernel and root...odds are it will never be rooted.

Vote with your wallet people. Don't give Samsung a dime for their Knox crapware.
[Nexus 6  General] thefinancemaster:
Oh, I agree somewhat. Knox blows. Samsung Touchwiz is my least favorite. BUT, the Note 4 is rooted already for the other carriers in the USA, but even (last I checked) over $11000 worth of bounty for root access on the VZW version hasn't had any success. If that was because of Samsung, the Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T versions wouldn't already have root access. The Note 4 hardware is amazing, we just need the ability to put different software on it. I hate Verizon... I may switch to US Cellular someday. They historically haven't had flagship phones available until the last year or two. But, there still isn't much in the way of Dev support here for their phones. What good is a monster phone if we can't hack and crack a bit? LOL
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Half the problem with dev support is the insistence that every USA carrier have a unique SKU and mutually incompatible firmware. Which leads to community dev fragmentation to the max. Which is squarely on the manufacturer to blame. Knox and the locked bootloaders are also on the manufacturer. With Samsung's mobile division bleeding oodles and gobs of money this year, maybe Samsung will mend their ways.

Samsung's problem is that they went from making 2-3 high quality handsets under one brand (Galaxy)....to making dozens of handsets each with 5+ different unique carrier/region-specific SKUs.
[Nexus 6  General] GrandMstrBud:
An announcement on the 31st on when Nexus 6? What that it can be pre ordered in March or something and maybe 1,000 available
[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:
There are two golden rules you should keep in mind when speaking to ANY type of VZW rep:

1 - they have absolutely no information on the phone, its release or anything else related to it - plain and simple.

2 - they have been instructed to try to keep you on VZW, so anything of a delaying comment that will keep you hanging on while the first rule is in effect works for them, not you.

The phone only has two SKU's - We're going to find that VZ will allow it on the network (because they have to) and they won't sell it.

I said it first, and time will bear it out. I hope I'm incorrect. the only thing that will indicate it is here on VZ is a press release or seeing it on the website by magic, period. Anything else is just pure speculation and wishing.
[Nexus 6  General] anthonyg45157:
Well, heres to pure speculation and wishing...:highfive:

But forreal. You suck vzw.
[Nexus 6  General] das boot:
It is extremely unlikely at this point that Verizon will carry this phone in stores. That has been the speculation from the very beginning. Big Red will allow it on its network, but will never sell the device.
