[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juggamonkey:
Hello everyone I canceled my contact with t mobile shortly after I got my vibrant because I could not afford the plan due to reasons I rather not say . About a week later I found out about simple mobile which runs off t mobiles network but alot cheaper and ordered a sim and everything was working fine for two months until about a week ago my phone said no service and it said my sim wasn't allowed to connect to the network thinking it was a sim card issue I ordered another simple mobile sim and it still says no service only thing simple mobile could tell me is the imei might be blocked so my question is is this even possible I thought blacklisting the imei didn't happen in the states . Thanks to all that can help
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juggamonkey:
Anyone with advice ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfreak:
it is possible and probable

I have friends that still work at t-mobile. If you owe on a device and the device is not payed off on the account they can blacklist the IMEI and shut the phone down from operating anywhere else. they just started doing a few months ago. inly option is to pay off your bill with tmobile. then the blacklist will be removed. From my understanding its only if you didn't pay off the device.. so all these cool payment plans can screw you anyways,
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boystuff:
if you cancel service with a provider within 30-90 days sometimes longer depending on if it was a direct or indirect dealer you are usually required to pay retail value or return the phone. Otherwise yah this happens.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juggamonkey:
Ok thanks guys for the advice is it possible to unlock it and use it on at&t prepaid
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
Finally. I'm sorry but deadbeats shouldn't be allowed to get over, you knew you couldn't afford to pay for the phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juggamonkey:
I could haved afforded it if my little girl didn't have osgood schlatters disease and her braces for her knees and medicine wansnt 2600 a month . So please don't contribute to the form if you have nothing positive to say
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
You didn't know this when you bought the phone? So you couldn't sell the phone and pay your final bill? Sureeeeeeeeeeee! It doesn't make sense to me, and you are a deadbeat. You don't pay your bills and from the sound of it, you had to have known you couldn't pay the bill.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juggamonkey:
I need the phone for my work . I plan on paying off the bill in full as I have set up a payment plan to pay off the bill and the situation with my child didn't occur until I had the phone for a week or so , it was unexpected . You have no right to judge me as anything honestly you don't know my situation I'm in .i have perfect credit and every bill I have is paid on time but that was something I could not control .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
14 day return period in every state except for CA. Who is judging you? You didn't pay the bill (definition of deadbeat regardless of any reason you have) and you had plenty of time to return the phone like I suspected.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juggamonkey:
Yes I could have returned it but I was willing just to pay the termination fee and keep the phone so I could use the phone as I need it for work and can't be without a phone for that reason . So mods can we close this thread now because it has gone completely off topic
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjhart85:
You're the one who seems to want help circumventing the carriers restriction on your IMEI preventing you from using your phone on any carrier that uses Tmobile.

It sounds to many of us like you got the phone really cheap & decided that you'd just pay the $250 ETA and keep the phone without realizing you'd need to pay the bill as well. End result sounds like you wanted a new phone for ~350 rather than paying retail like people like myself did.

Regardless, you were trying to do something shady & if you came on here & wanted to get around the unlock screen, you'd probably be getting flamed about as much.

Anyways, if you haven't upgraded to JI6, you should be able to unlock the phone for free [if it isn't already], otherwise, you'd need to buy an unlock code from someplace like ebay. Once you're unlocked, you can use use it on AT&T as long as Tmo doesn't share that info with them (which, who knows, they might).
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
I hate to start another thread about GPS, but I was seeing many people over in the dev forum getting very accurate readings from the GPS after applying JI6.

I was wondering what the best settings are to optimize GPS accuracy after the JI6 update?

www.spirent-lcs.com and port 7275 or supl.google.com and port 7276?

Keep accuracy at 50? What about skyhook? keep it off?

thanks in advance
[Vibrant General] dmolition:
Most of them just leave the original settings, and so have I. Getting exact reading while using my tracks from google.
[Vibrant General] Jhnboy:
I just updated to JI6 and i don't know why but it still thinks I'm somewhere far off...not nearby...about the same as before...

How do you change ANY of these things you guys are talking about?

I'm new to android (from ios)
[Vibrant General] dmolition:
These are settings you put in LBSTestMode menu, which you can access by dialing *#*#1472365#*#*

You should let your GPS catch before actually deciding if your GPS works or not, mine started crappy but ended up flawless, if you decide that your GPS is crap then you might go change the settings.
[Vibrant General] chocobo15:
you guys are getting accurate locks with the "use wireless networks" option checked or unchecked?

i don't get any satellite locks at all when I only check "use GPS satellites"! I have to check "use wireless networks" for my gps to find me

I just got the JI6 update via Kies Mini
[Vibrant General] mistical:
I get accurate results with it checked, and for which it is 100% of the time when I use my phone too.

I did uncheck it just to test it out and stepping outside, it gave me an accurate location and fast too.

My phone of course has the JI6 update, if it needed to be said.
[Vibrant General] nandyn:
Actually, the dialer code you used no longer works after JI6. It is now

*#3214789650# to get into the LBSTestMode menu.
[Vibrant General] chocobo15:
Maybe I have to step outside too. I'll test it out tomorrow on my way to work.
[Vibrant General] cathardicnotion:
Minor correction. The correct lbltest mode code for the newer JIX builds (including JI6) is *#3214789650#

I've had mixed results with GPS since upgrading to the newer JI6 firmware. Some days it seems like I can aquire a GPS signal within thirty seconds or so of turning GPS on. Other days it takes upwards of five minutes. I have more or less chalked this problem up to signal quality in the areas I am turning the service on in. Since I work outside of the states the problem could also be due to wherever the phone is pulling SUPL data from as well. I'd be curious as to what other expatriot users have their phones set to utilize for SUPL data. At the moment I am running the phone in cold boot/MS Based, as this seems to speed up the time it takes me to nab a decent signal.
[Vibrant General] 12paq:
I have the same questions and more....

I thought a cold boot/start would start your GPS as if it had no memory of where you where last, I mean in what part of the world. My handhelds and a CF card GPS would cold start from the city they were manufactured in, then slowly find their way to N. America locating birds and then slowly zeroing in on my location.

Hot start would put me at least in my home state to start then locate the birds that are in a geosynchronous orbit (the sats/birds that are always (mostly) over head, they turn as the earth turns) Since the birds are always overhead of this general continent and I too tend to stay in this general continent. After first uses I keep it on "hot" start so the GPS chip doesn't ry to find me in Asia first.~

Now the above statement are base on some assumptions: Is this indeed what hot and cold start means on this device? (it does on others) Also when does it go to a colds start? During reboot of the device? Do the settings Cold and hot always force these types of starts? How long is hot start memory stored on the device?

I'm not even sure flashing new firmware or a new GPS version resets the settings to default. Some have reported instant locks some complain it takes a while for first locate (normal).

Two major questions now that we have the correct codes to adjust them: what are the defaults and did the Ji6 flashed upgrade reset them to default? Did it make a difference via ODIN, OTA or mini Kies?

I ask this because my GPS worked great with the leaked Fix flashed, now after the Ji6 update it works like stock out of the box (crappy).

So as the first question on the thread asked what are the best settings for the new update? And if stock is it what is stock? Did the update revert the settings back to stock?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...rue&Keywords=(keywords)&Page=1#scrollFullInfo

It's got great review, and I have seen it as low as 19.99.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
Yeah, I use a 32GB.... Go online at Verizon Wireless >>> Here!!!

It is Legit & The Cheapest you can find :)

Or buy a 16gb from them, its a stealer also :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] db3:
i also went the newegg route. i picked up a transcend micro sdhc 8gb class 6 and really like it. note that the big differences in price are due to size (gb) and speed (class). class 6 seemed to be a good compromise on speed and value. i'm guessing the 2gb card that came with the phone is class 2.

good luck.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daftlush:
I was switching from Skyraider 3.3 to CM and I accidentally hit Restart Recovery while in Clockwork.

The phone vibrated 5 times then black screen and flashing green light.

Every time i try to get into recovery I get 5 vibrations, a black screen, and a flashing green light. Sometimes I can see the recovery screen for a split second.

I can do a battery pull and get into Hboot from optical, but that's it.

I cant flash any PB31IMG's for some reason.

I tried flashing both a Clockwork recovery and a RUU, but no go.

I tried using the RUU exe and it game me a error about not connecting to phone even though I was in Hboot with usb connected.

Also, today Rom Manager notified me about an update to Clockwork and I told it to update, but this was only supposed to take effect when i boot into Clockwork from Rom Manager.

What should I do? (besides call Verizon for a refurb)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daftlush:
K... so i tried using unrevoked to push a new recovery and it wont run from hboot.

but, i can get into recovery now IF the phone is plugged into usb and unrevoked is at "waiting for device."

if i unplug usb then it does the 5 vibrations w/ black screen and flashing green blinker.

problem is the phone wont mount sdcard.

i saw other people having problems with new CW, but mine still says 2.5.0.5
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Bad SD Card?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daftlush:
Tried three.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwjdd44:
the vibrations/green light typically are Qualcomms diagnostic signal and comes from pressing vol UP/ power.........what cures this for me is a battery pull and making sure my fat fingers press vol DOWN / power to get into recovery properly. not sure if this is a fix for your problem, but worth checking.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daftlush:
It's a Qualcomm mode or error code for sure since the phone comes up as "Qualcomm something something" in device manager. Still, dont know what happened to it but I'm damn sure it's fkkked.

I already have another refurb on the way. So my new question is...

If I had the "dev hboot" that i think allows fastboot, would I have been able to fix this phone by flashing a rom from my comp instead of sdcard.

If so, what are the down sides of having a dev hboot?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FinalBoss:
Same problem here. Rooted fine, then tried to load CM7 on it and it wouldn't boot afterwards.

I can get it to boot while the USB cable is plugged in but as soon as I pull the cable the phone vibrates and shuts off. Tried everything I could find to fix it, no luck. Going to have to go back to verizon.

The phone shouldn't be broken but there seems to be no way to bring it back :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
Literally just got the green light of death last weekend, it's most likely toast. YOu can turn your phone on and flash a rom when the phone is plugged in to the computer. For me, SD was unreadable (phone defect, sd is fine), and emmc wouldn't mount via usb, and adb wouldn't work either.

They refurbed me no questions asked.

BTW, the .77 fastboot-enabled hboot is only for AMOLED Incredibles. You'll really have a brick if you flash to an SLCD phone. I don't think fastboot would help anyway, as it's most likely a hardware malfunction.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
I don't know about that...I have an SLCD handset and I flashed .92 with no issues whatsoever.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
Sounds like your SD card isn't formatted fat32..... it has to be or hboot won't read the PB31IMG.zip try reformatting
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FinalBoss:
I have hboot 0.92 on there now, I think I have the SLCD version (about a month old). Not home right now, will check when I get there.

I tried running urevoked while it's plugged in and functional but it says "communication issue" so I can't flash a custom rom or restore a backup. There has to be a way to bring it back, it's quite unlikely that it's damaged in any way.

As a last resort I'm going to try the RUU with HTC Sync :( Found steps in this thread.

I have the five vibrate + green led problem as well.

Sounds like I'm super lucky though, I can boot into everything fine afterwards.

Running CM7, 9.01, .92, AMOLED.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FinalBoss:
No go.

I can boot the phone if the USB cable remains plugged in or if I unplug it during boot (at HTC logo). I can use it, call *228, etc. Once I plug in the USB cable, if I unplug it the phone vibrates x5/green light. I cannot mount it as USB drive on my PC, cannot run unrevoked, cannot run RUU.

I can flash it using a PB31IMG.zip through hboot. It's S-ON. It boots into default OS (2.2), it booted into CM7 before I flashed it but only with the USB cable plugged in. As soon as I unplug the cable it vibrates x5 + green light.

RUU is reporting a connection issue (error 170 USB) so I can't flash it through there.

Anybody else have anything I can try? So far I've:

1) Rebooted it 30 times using various button combinations (pwr+vup, pwr+vdn, pwr+v+touchpad, etc).

2) Flashed stock firmware on it.

3) yelled at it

4) Tried to flash various recovery PB31IMG.zip through hboot (fails)

5) yelled at it some more

6) listened to my gf complain about how much "Battle of LA" sucked

7) posted this

I hate to say it but it sounds toast bro.... if the ruu didn't fix it then it had to be a hardware problem sorry I couldn't help.....

I'm going to get another one from VZW. Is there any way to make sure this doesn't happen again? I'll start off by not flashing CM7 in the mean time. Anybody have any suspicions on what could cause this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
I just had the same thing happen to mine this morning after flashing the HeyItsLou #9. I can only access ClockworkMod Recovery when I'm plugged in but can't access the sdcard. I've scoured multiple forums for hours and nothing seems to work. I just tried the RUU and it says "wrong image". There seems to be no reason why this happens and there's no one thing that causes it, I've read that it happens to both rooted and non-rooted users.

I filed a claim with Asurion and my new one will be here on Tuesday. It worries me a little that I can't get CWM off of it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB3MMX:
Same here.

I just pulled the battery, rebooted into recovery then did a recovery from one of my backups.

Now I'm worried there might be a issue with CWM 3.0.0.8 or something causing this to happen to people....? I just read that CWM 3.0.0.8 is known to have issues clearing data or something when installing new ROMs ..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaze06:
It would appear that it's for sure bricked if you've tried this. :p
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
I just got my replacement incredible and this "bug" has slightly scared me out of rooting (even though I want to do it right now) since it seemingly can happen at any time.

I just read that flashing a new radio will erase your custom kernel, so maybe if something is done with the kernel does it do something with the radio? My problem happened right after flashing a new kernel, while I've read that it happens to others while flashing CM7 (which will replace the kernel). Coincidence?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
It started for me after I flashed CM7.

Don't flash that ****!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
The odd thing is I flashed it with no problem. I think it may have something to do with unrevoked since that's the only thing we all have in common.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB3MMX:
I'm wondering of the real cause could be a bug in CWM 3.0.0.8 that causes the ROM to not be installed correctly, as people have reverted to 3.0.0.7 and it has solved their ROM flashing issues....:confused:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
Nope, that can't be it because I was using CWM2.5.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradinc:
Ok, my symptoms might be a little different from a lot of the ones I've read about all over the web... I used CWM3.0.0.8, and did a wipe, cleared this, cleared that, after the first few attempts to installed Kingdom Stock Sense 3.0 failed. After the last round of clicking anything that had to do with clearing something, the install finished and I rebooted...

And as soon as it powered up, without anything displaying on the screen, it vibrated 5 times and the green notification LED started flashing. None of this changed if I plugged into the PC.

Pressing vol- and power had the same result. In the end, I removed the SD card and pressed vol+ and power, and got (I think) 3 vibrations - and I nearly celebrated, as I had experienced that before and pulling the battery would allow me to then fire it up using vol- and power.

So then I put the SD card back in while in CWM, told it to format the SD card, and then told it to shutdown. Powered it back up, and my new ROM was good to go.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techlivezheng:
It is probably a USB brick

I had the same problem with my HTC Legend a few days ago, it turns out to be a USB brick, which means something had corrupted the misc partition. The fix is simple, just flash a good misc image back to that partition and everything is back to normal, there are tons of USB unbrik TUTs out there.

Being in such a rush and stupid, I applied the JI6 update without undoing the lagfix.

The JI6 update unrooted my phone, among other things, and messed up the lag fix.

I've ran quadrant tests and it only scores 900's so i know the lag fix is not active.

My problem is that when I go into OCLF to undo the lag fix, the option isn't available in the main menu or the "Available" actions menu. When i check free space, the lagfix partition still exists and is locking up the free application space.

However, the undo option says there is no lagfix present. I've tried restoring and deleting the playlogos1 file from the bin, but it won't let me delete it. I always get an error or insufficient permission when i try to delete the file.

Can somebody please help me remove the lagfix so i can reinstall it properly?
