there are whole threads dedicated to most of these questions.

please, take the time to use the forums search function.

it helps the fine staff at xda from answering the same questions over and over and over and over and over and over and over....

gets repetitious, and annoying.

so now that youve learned something new, make use of it and hopefully youll have a newly flashed rom within the next 10 mins :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
Go to the ROM Development forum and check the "Flashing ROM ... for NOOBs" thread. I think your answers will be there. The radio is flashed separately and will not affect the underlying ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
That's GSM I believe. Remove the battery, and it will show the model number under it: RHOD100, RHOD200, etc. Search on these forums to see which is which (I don't know off hand).

You are correct, all it does is unlock the SPL, and allows the flashing of ROMs other than the official one(s) released by your carrier. Your ROM remains intact.

Yep, that's pretty much it. Be sure to read the n00b guide, make sure your phone is charged over 50% for each step, don't let your PC go to sleep, etc.

Also running Task29 is optional, but highly recommended before you flash you new ROM. It wipes/formats the memory, so you won't have any remnants of the old ROM remaining (which might cause random bugs). See the Task29 stickied thread in the ROM forum.

No, there is no definitive best radio. The newest ones are sometimes the best. But it can be geographically dependent as well. It might take some trial and error to find the best radio for you (which gives the best reception and battery life for your area).

If your TP2 is GSM, than its easy to flash a new radio, it only take a minute or so, and it leaves the rest of the ROM intact, so you can easily try various radios to find the best one for you.

Hi everyone,

I bought a new vibrant a month ago, they unlocked it at the store. and i've used a local US sim card since then.

now when i got back home (i'm not living in the US) it appears to be locked - network lock.

I've tried the SGS app but i'm getting an error(I have root) it just doesnt find any codes.

I've uploaded the nv_data file. if someone can take a look.

i looked for the code in it but i didnt find anything.

what other options do i have? i'm very frustrated :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briankao1992:
Are you on the original firmware? I'm pretty sure that you need the original firmware to get the unlock code
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2k1:
no, i updated to JI6...is that the reason?

i also uploaded the screen of the sgs if it helps
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trashcan:
You said you used a local US carrier SIM, was it AT&T? If you put a Tmo SIM, it will of course work becsaut it's a Tmo phone. I hope those guys don't fool you.

You'll need to revert back to stock JFD. I hope the JI6 didn't messed up your nv_data file. or try to use a hex editor and read your nv_data file.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2k1:
i tried my own sim, its not TMO.

so rolling back to the original is my only chance?

where do i get the original firmware?

I tried read it with hex editor...i didnt find any string that looks like a code
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trashcan:
I just ran your nv_data with sgux and no code...so most likely JI6 wipe your nv_data. going back to JFD may not help. I guess you'll have to spend another 10-20 USD buy paying someone to do get an unlock code via IMEI.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elite GunnerX:
Yes that is the reason. JI6 kills the unlock

did you happen to do a backup?

Edit: See this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=802143
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krylon360:
Your unlock code was replaced with all F's.

Look for this string. It starts on Offset 180000

SSNV/A=.ÇÓáœ ã:*íêºæp~.‘.´}~=3þ...v:.+o.à²ƒPÆ+$4^ØB/¤º.¼è£.wÏ.á$nå¨÷ddý÷.FFFFFFFF..........

Replace the F's with your unlock code. Save, then push the nv_data.bin back to your phone.

;)

This is the app I am working on. It will search for SSNV and if it sees all F's it will either allow you to replace them with your original unlock code, or generate a new one for you.

I'll work on it tonight.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2k1:
i dont have a backup of the file :( i'm so mad at myself because i didnt know i can unlock it by myself...

if I only knew what would happen if i upgrade...damn!

i dont have the unlock code neither...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krylon360:
edit the nv_data you posted in your OP.

replace the F's with 12345678.

12345678 will be your new unlock code.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Completely power down the phone. Hold down the volume button and power on. You should be in HBOOT. Select Recovery. Or use adb and enter adb reboot recovery. If noe of those work, install ROM Manager and tell it to flash Clockwork, then tell it to reboot into recovery.

[Captivate General] gdanko:
After scouring forums, reading tons of posts, and taking a number of notes I've compiled what I think is a sane way to de-crapify your Samsung Captivate and create a backup so that you can restore from it later. Root access is assumed for this HOWTO.

1) Install ROM Manager and Titanium Backup to a fresh install.

2) Extract the apks and save them to my computer.

3) Wipe the phone again (I did this because to download these two apps I had to login to Google, etc).

4) With my phone in a fresh state, adb install both ROM Manager and Titanium Backup.

5) Make sure both ROM Manager and Titanium Backup are working.

6) From ROM Manager, "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"

7) From ROM Manager, "Backup Current ROM" and save it as "Clean_Install-DATESTAMP"

8) After the backup has completed and I am back in my device, open Titanium Backup, grab the latest busybox, and remove the following:

Apps:

AllShare

AT&T FamilyMap

AT&T Hot Spots

AT&T Maps

AT&T Music

AT&T Navigator

AT&T Radio

Daily Briefing

Email

Instant Messaging

Media Hub

Mini Diary

Mobile Banking

Mobile Video

MobiTV

Where

Write and Go

YPmobile

Widgets:

Buddies Now

Calendar Clock

Days

Dual Clock

Feeds and Updates

Yahoo! Finance Clock

9) Clean up the UI since a bunch of widgets are gone, etc. This involves removing all but one home page and removing the content from the remaining page, changing wallpaper, etc.

10) Go back into ROM Manager, "Backup Current ROM" and save it as "Clean_Install_No_Bloatware-DATESTAMP"

11) After the backup has completed and my device has rebooted I can now install and configure things normally.

Is there a better process for this? I have a touch of OCD so I wanted everything to be as perfect as posible.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zulu1:
I have just done what was said in the tutorial so I don't think that I have done what you say and actually I don't quite know what that is.

I made myself a bootscreen and I tried to use that but it didn't work so I downloaded a bootscreen available on the web but that didn't work either.

The bootscreen I have at the moment is from here called drawing-froyo maybe it has to do something with that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Nah, nothing to do with which one you have.

You need to find out how to remount system in astro (google maybe) and do that.

It will then be easy to overwrite

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loco00:
Command prompt:

C:\ ..\> adb devices <-- this will detect your phone connect to pc

C:\ ..\> adb remount <-- remount the phone

C:\ ..\> adb shell <-- command to enter shell command, the drive letter C change to # meaning u have enter shell mode

# su <-- superuser permission

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system <-- changing permission of read/rewrite

# cd /system/media/bootscreen/ <-- change directory to /system/media/bootscreen/

# ls -l <-- list of apps/files in current directory, this is not important, just to ensure the file u seek is there..

# rm any_files_u_wanna_delete <-- remove aka delete command(make sure u already backup or pulled it before doing this)

# exit <-- exit shell command, type it again until the # change back to "C:\>"

C:\ ..\> adb push C:\any_files_u_wanna_push /system/media/bootscreen/ <-- push ur files, with directory of the file to push then directory of where the files should be pushed in

C:\ ..\> adb reboot <-- reboot command, reboots the phone, unplug it and see it runs.. if the bootanimation didn't play/just stalled, try redoing all these steps with the old bootanimation, or do a nandroid restore.

as far as I know, bootanimation in /system/media/bootanimation/ folder is not in zip files, it's in multiple files(in my stock 2.1, it's boot.gif, boot.mp3, boot2.gif, boot_animation.xml and boot_bg.gif). so I bet, u have to extract these files from the zip and push it one by one.

Good luck on adb:)

hi there.....First of all let me tell you that I have read all the forums on this site and on htcpedia.com to solve my problem but no success. So i had no other choice other than to ask in the forum.

Problem is when I boot my hd2 for the first time after copying "Android" folder in to my sd card(32 gb), It would display 5-6 lines in the top left corner ending with the line "Jumping to the Kernel (custom)...." and freezes there even after i wake up from 8 hours long sleep. Then I have to restart it by removing the battery.

There is a one strange thing. When I copy 'Android' folder in the root of sd card (sd card\Android\..) no data image file would be created in it after the end of the situation described in second paragraph. But when I copy all file from 'Android' folder to the root of the sd card (Sd card\all files) , the camera flash lite will turn on for a moment and the screen will display weird black and white lines and would freeze there indefinately untill I restart it after good couple of hours and there would be data file of around 1 gb. Nothing would change even after I reboot again.

Radio- 2.10.50.26

rom- Elegancia gtx v 5.0 final wwe

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
Ok, first why don't you just use the search function or just jumpin two pages further? There are about one million people having the same problem as you.

But if I were you, I would try to update my radio at first (at least to 2.12) because 2.10 caused much problems.

And second thing is, which kernel do you use? And how does your startup.txt looks like?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ultramag69:
Also make sure your version of WM is Android friendly.

Radio version is important also, most Android versions need a radio that ends with .50, NOT .51...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jelliottz:
I would first make sure your current ROM will work with Android. Get a new one if needed. Next do a fresh reformat to fat 32 on your SD card. Last try a new radio: 2.10.50 does work for me, but you may try a 2.12.50 one.

Try to boot up between each of these steps. It may take one or all of them to get you up and running. Good luck.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Well, I'm speculating here, because I've never used Clockwork, but I did notice in a past posting here about nandroid backups under clockwork, that it makes a backup copy of the recovery partition in every backup.

I suppose that might mean that it only temporarily flashes clockwork into place in the recovery and then restores the recovery partition when it finishes (if a nandroid restore has not taken place)...?

I can't imagine why it would make recovery partition backups unless it intended to use them... during restores.

That's just a guess, but it is consistent with your observations.
