Anytime you do a contracted upgrade, you should have to add an REQ (contracted) feature.

However, there are definitely SOCs for the 24.99 android web, I think there is a 20.00 one as well, as for that 14.99 plan that the OP has, he's probably outta luck.

Though, if you've been a Tmo customer, even if you do the upgrade in store, and call up afterword (I'd advise staying the 14 day return/exchange period, so you can threaten to return the new phone etc...), just call customer care, let them know what's going on, if they don't help, tell them you want loyalty department (or tell them you wanna cancel, same department I think), and just let them know that you're happy with the new phone you just think it's fair you keep your grandfathered rate plan.

It's definitely possible to run into road blocks with normal customer care reps, but if you get loyalty/saves on the phone, they will really really work with you, or that's what they've done any time I've had customers talk to them to sort something out.

Fact: Just went from my family's tmobile plan to my own family plan with gf. (Been with tmobile since that first nokia with the round numbpad existed).

Got the 750 min + unlimited data + unlimited web + extra line for GF.

They wanted to charge us $30/mo per person for data with no hotspot access.

finally saw this in my paperwork this morning as I upgraded last night, called up customer service asked for retention department and told them that basically the only reason why I've been with them for this long was the 19.99/mo total internet plan (unlimited data+hotspot access) and that I was hoping there was something they could do for us.

Took them less than 5 minutes, lady didn't even break a beat. I love tmobile... best customer service ever. Now I save $20/mo just for being polite and asking!
[myTouch 4G General] pixel-painter:
I called in and talked to them before I went to the store to pick mine up, got my wife one too. I was able to talk them into grandfathering me in at the old data rate for the duration of my new contract. BUT, I had to get the clerk at the store to call in and get verbal confirmation of the notes that were added to my account for the approval.

I had to push a little, but you really have to be pretty insistent.. I threatened to go to sprint and get an evo and they gave me the new contract price rate of 149 with an instant rebate in the store for two phones.. and the old priced data rate ;)

Anyway.... I hope this helps others renewing their contract :D
[myTouch 4G General] LordLugard:
I would just wait a few weeks till the phones find their way everywhere in the $300 - $350 range and buy outright.
[myTouch 4G General] AndroNoob:
$5.99 edge?

Hello all, just wondering if any of you are using the 5.99 edge plan with this phone? Does it work? The reason I ask is that back when the mt3g came out I tried it but was "blocked" from using the web except for wifi so I skipped that and got an N1 and everything was fine.
[myTouch 4G General] jdallac:
I had a strange in-store experience with this:

I bought the phone at full price so there was no reason to call in, see if I was eligible for an upgrade or change my plan.

the tmobile employee ACTED like my credit card didn't go through and called in, then when on the phone with them he said "oh nevermind, my computer is unfrozen. the charge went through. while I'm on the phone, let's change his plan from the the android unlimited plan to the mytouch unlimited plan."

I argued with him not to change it, and after giving him some static, he left my plan alone. The android unlimited plan was exactly the same amount of money as the mytouch plan...so I wasn't sure if I even needed to argue to leave it as it was. But I feared that it might have been a first step in charging for the wifi hotspot.

in any case, everything he said in the store about mytouch 4g not working with the android unlimited plan was a lie. It works just as well as it did on my nexus one.
[myTouch 4G General] russbustah:
That sounds normal. They are the same price, technically he is supposed to change your plan to the right one for your phone. Although there really doesn't seem to be a difference between the android, mytouch, or g1 data socs.

He probably just wanted to change it so he'd get commission for the feature. Which is reasonable, wouldn't have hurt you.
[myTouch 4G General] deviusdragger:
you guys do know that they have new family plans that have the $20 data package? Now they have the 3000 minute plan with unl text and unl web for 2 lines for 150. Thats $100 for the plan, $10 for the messaging and $20 for each lines web package. Do some research guys and go into a store and ask about new plans. The bad part about the upgrade process now is the required feature package, WHICH needs to stay on the line for 2 years. And since alot of the older web packages dont have that required soc attached to them, they can grandfather it over, unless you paid full price for your phone and nothing was upgrading on your account. If you want a cheaper plan, go work for them! :)

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Shreyas Jani:
It appears a reminder may be in order, about the purpose of the development forum.

If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, it's somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to receive.

It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away.

If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something.

For example, if you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.

If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time.

Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording) etc...

If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.

So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. ​

[Droid 2 Android Development] primarilydna:
so does this mean if i'm on 2.3.20 and want to go back to stock( and reflash to 2.3.20 is impossible??.... I'm doing this because i went directly from fission 1.2.1(stock band) to 2.3.20 and just want to make sure whether i have the latest kernels
[Droid 2 Android Development] bladearronwey:
This isn't entirely correct. If you use the 2.3.20 FULL FLASH SBF, you do not need to restore back to 2.2.20, or reinstall any missing applications. The full flash is the entire stock sytem, as well as the bootloader and the kernel. So you can start from any D2 on any previous firmware with any modifications (removing apps, installing custom ROMs, etc) and if you hook it up to RSD and use the most recent full flash it will restore you back to stock on the newest kernel/baseband and restore all missing applications, everything. The full stock flash will take you back to stock regardless of the state of your D2, including if it is bricked and stuck at bootloader. The extra steps are not needed

Also, RSD 4.8 and 4.9 do work, provided you have the latest motorola moto connect drivers installed. If you are having connection issues with RSD put the phone in bootloader mode (not recovery) before you connect it to the PC.

You were correct in stating that you can not receive or apply the OTA by itself without having the original system with all pre-installed apps intact.
[Droid 2 Android Development] droid void:
is there a way to go from 2.3 to 2.2, like the original kernel and radio, baseband that most people were running like a month ago. im trying to sbf form 2.3 to the older one and i keep getting errors is there any way i can go back?
[Droid 2 Android Development] zibrah3ed:
Not currently. The bootloader has been updated and will no longer accept the old kernel.
[Droid 2 Android Development] droid void:
Thanks for the reply. now i can stop trying lol, it was driving me crazy.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Renegade8100:
I gotcha, well it works exactly as stated so it was safe and is safe to do it the way I flashed. I will edit the sticky though to remove irrelevant info. Also reflashing the 2.3.20 sbf after flashing once yielded no errors. I'll edit the op.
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Well I ran into big problems. I had 2.2.20 and wanted to sbf to 2.3.2 and it worked all the way up to downloading ram to bootloader and froze and got stuck and I sbfd back to 2.2.20 with no errors. Now my phone says the system is 2.3.2 but the baseband is still .05 and I tired to flash sbf to 2.2.0 today and I got the same downloading ram to bootloader and now I can't get even 2.2.20 to run on the phone. With this being said I got stuck on the bootloader screen(told me there were some errors and battery okay and plug in usb) so I figured id try to sbf to 2.3.2 and it came up with the same error of "downloading ram to bootloader and froze" and the phone restarted but now the M showed back up and is running normal now with the system 2.3.2 but still old baseband so idk what went wrong and why it wont let me get past downloading ram to bootloader. What's wrong because I've tried several times now and I just want the new baseband and bootloader. Please help me
[Droid 2 Android Development] Renegade8100:
you cant downgrade from 2.3.20 to 2.2.20 because of the updated bootloader. What OS are you using? What rds are you using? did you copy over the fix into the rds directory? You may have bricked your phone by tryin to downgrade =(. Have you tried loading your phone into recovery?
[Droid 2 Android Development] bladearronwey:
Make sure you use the FULL FLASH and not the system only file
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Im using RDS 4.9 there was no inf files that came with .9 so idk what you're talking about. I know 4.7 required a patch but idk if the new ones require it. I have fission 2.0.1 and my phone didn't brick because I have it up and running right now but I still don't have the new baseband mine is still .05...
[Droid 2 Android Development] newk8600:
There's a tutorial on my "[TOOL] Ubuntu livecd" thread on how to update the baseband only, after flashing 2.3.2. Just go to the bottom of the OP and it will all be there. (I'd quote it but I'm on my D2 not my computer)

All the links should work. I just uploaded the 2.2.20 to include the drivers and rsdlite
[Droid 2 Android Development] coffngrl:
FYI, I did the full flash for 2.3.20 because the automatic update kept failing. Not sure why it didn't work - I had rooted the Droid2, "removed" a few annoying apps by renaming the adk and odec files to .bak. I unrooted it and tried the auto update again but it failed. Not sure what was making it fail, but rather than put all the apps back and try letting the phone do its thing, I used the method above - just using RDS Lite to flash to 2.3.20 without doing the previous steps.

It worked fine, but I had to dial *22899 to re-activate the phone afterward.

So far so good, but I'm not sure that rooting the phone and messing around with it, to the tune of a few good hours of my life, was worth a little bit of battery life, especially considering the 2.3.20 is supposed to fix the two problems I had with the Droid, namely poor battery life and email sync problems after inactivity.
[Droid 2 Android Development] m461c3lf:
thanks for the how-to! i flashed straight over from a rooted 2.2 phone to the new version as well.

i did experience force closes on the battery monitor as well, and clearing the cache did not fix that. i cleared, rebooted, and when it still didnt work, i flashed the phone once more and all is well. did not need to clear cache a second time. im a rookie still at all this, so bear with me if my reply seems obvious- or doesnt make sense. :)

i also had to reactivate the phone with the *# referenced above.

thanks again!
[Droid 2 Android Development] ckarrow2:
Had no problems updating from 2.2 to 2.3 using only the 2.3 SBF. Worked great and kept all other settings intact. :)

To fix the battery monitor force closing issue; just plug your phone into the charger while it's on! Fixed the issue right up for me!

[Droid 2 Android Development] ManChild595:
Hello,

I just have a quick question. I recently bought a droid 2 and it came with version 2.30.20 on it when I bought it. I have rooted it and tried a few ROMs. I currently have the apex rom installed. When I first flashed a ROM, I forgot to create a nandroid backup of the the original.. So I was wondering if this SBF would work for me because at the bottom of the OP, it says that this SBF will brick your phone if you use it and have the OTA update. Would I just use the full system 2.30.20 sbf, and skip the parts about the 2.20.20? Thanks in advance.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Spitemare:
Use just the 2.3.20 SBF. This thread is somewhat outdated now that 2.3.20 has been out for some time now.

ouch, not one thanks
[Droid 2 Android Development] edwards2243:
Z4root?

Manchild--Which method did you use to root? Im running 2.3.20 right now and am terrified of bricking my phone using the wrong method. Will z4root work? Everything I read says follow the directions and it's easy, but nothing says anything about having the OTA update and z4root still working.

[Vibrant General] mitsos1os:
Hi guys, and congratulations for the work you have put up in here. I have just bought my Vibrant and I am quite lost.... I did some reading but I would like you to specify some things if you can. The phone has the stock version T959UVJFD. I am intending to update to J16 via Kies Mini. Is there something that I would have to know, before doing that?

Also, I live in Greece, and I searched for a way to have greek Os on phone, but can't find any. Isn't there a way to have greek menus? There should be, because the Galaxy S that is sold here has greek menu...

I also read that Swype 1.60 supports greek, but I only have 1.57. What's the official way to update swype?

Finally, a little help about Roms, what do custom roms offer more than stock ones? Even more, does anybody greek in here recommend a specific mode that maybe offers better support for the greek language?

Thanks for taking the time to read this. All answers accepted!

You might want to get the unlock codes with the sgs unlock app on the market before you update to ji6.
[Vibrant General] mitsos1os:
I already have the unlock code! The problem is now I am trying to root my VIbrant, but I can't seem to enter recovery mode. I've tried all combinations. After I start it with both volume buttons pressed, the vibrant logo vanishes and when it appears again I release the power button, but it continues to boot normally. I also tried keeping all three buttons pressed all the time, but then it just reboots all the time (vibrant logo apperas and dissappear continuously). What's wrong?
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Hold the volume up and down at the same time then press power button and hold it as soon as you see the vibrant screen let go of power and keep holding the volume up and down keys,this works every time for me.
[Vibrant General] mitsos1os:
I have tried that but with no result. Actually as I searched through the forums I found numerous people saying that this doesn't work for them, and they say something about hardware locked Vibrants or faulty ones. I just hoped I wasn't one of them, but that's my luck!
