carrier

My carrier that actually has win 7 phones wont give you an unlock code for 30 days and want 75 bucks after that, so im looking for an aftermarket company to unlock the lg quantum on bell in canada and also unlock a rogers samsung focus on rogers.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikacz:
you guys

i'm concerned about this unlocking business. if an iphone comes originally unlocked there's of course 0 problem, but if the simlock gets removed using some software or code and the phone gets its software updated, the simlock comes right back. i know there weren't any wp7 updates yet, but do you think this situation also concerns wp7 devices?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamreez:
u r talking about jail breaking here not sim unlocking.

Once you sim unlock your phone the only advantage is you can use the SIM of any carrier in it and no future updates would be locking it back.

The scenario you told would only come if you find a way to modify the reg settings to use the phone as a usb storage or something like that. in this case once you update ur phone with a wp 7 update ur hack would stop working till u find and tweak ur registry settings again
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikacz:
thanks for replying, but i actually was talking about sim unlocking. i heard that if the iphone is originally locked to some carrier e.g. at&t, the simlock gets removed using a code or software and the phone gets an update, the simlock returns. i was wondering whether this scenario concerns wp7. either way, it's always best to buy a phone that's originally sim unlocked (more expensive...)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamreez:
The phones are initially prepared unlocked from the manufacturers like HTC. Carriers like orange than orders phones for them which they ask to be locked to Orange SIMS. There would be an unlock code to enable the handset to accept all the SIM's as the handset was made like that. If you contact your carrier like Orange they would in turn contact HTC and get the unlock code from them. If you contact any third party from the web they calculate this unlock code and msg or mail you (God knows how... Quite a lot of people have asked in XDA and there is no reply to this other than silence)

So if you SIM unlock your phone it is done. All your future updates for the OS would be done via zune and there is no way your handset would get locked again..

Hope everything is clear....

thank you, all is clear now :)

Successful unlock codes

Hi guys,

Just want to let you know that my Focus finally arrived this Monday, as soon as I got it I sent the IMEI and payed to the ebay guy nckzone, this seller is amazing, in 2 hours he sent me the unlock code to my paypal email address, the code worked just great.

The next day (Tuesday), my girlfriend's HTC Surround arrived and so I proceed to ask him if he also unlocks HTC Surround (this is because we live in Costa Rica and ICE's network is lock because of AT&T's policies), and he told me he can do those as well, so I payed and in 30 minutes he replied with the code. Great service for real...

If somebody needs to buy unlock codes for WP7, I think this guy can. The link of the auction is this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Unlock-Samsung-Focus-i917-Omnia7-Galaxy-Tab-CODE-/140482107888?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b562d9f0#ht_2581wt_1139
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denizen08:
Damn. Man! My Focus will arrive in just a few days. I had to have it shipped. I really hope his magic will work on mine as well. Although I really hate AT&T for forcing Samsung to lockdown on the unlock codes for the US-released Focus. It's not like they're the only Telecom company that matters.

Well, enough trolling. =)) Thanks for the heads up.

When I first got the phone it was working fine. Recently though it's doing the same thing, no idea why.
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
Initially, Angry Birds worked fine on my phone, then began FCing as soon as I'd try to run it. I have no idea what caused this, but rebooting the phone took care of the issue.

Just flashed a new ROM and noticed there is a line about a little higher than halfway that seems to tear even when I move the screen slightly. Is this a hardware issue or a ROM issue? Never noticed before. Should I unroot and send to sprint? Its really noticable.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
What kernel does it show when you go to settings > about phone? That's most likely the cause

You may want to find his thread in the dev section and try another version of it. It usually stays on the first page or two.
[EVO 4G General] fmedina2:
What about this version is causing this effect? I have ran this kernel before with no problems. Is this for sure a software issue and not a hardware?
[EVO 4G General] ImmortalLuD:
It's only when you turn the phone on after a ROM flash, or reboot. Just turn the screen off, and then back on, and it fixes it...

Don't the Legend and Aria share some of the same hardware/kernels?

I don't think it matters at this point. The Gratia is identical to the Aria (more so than the Legend) and the Froyo 2.2 ROM for it has already been leaked and is what FRXX Liberated ROM is based on.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespwolpert:
I, an ignorant vibrant user eager to break into the world of ROMS, finally and successfully rooted my phone with the one click root.

One Click Lagfix from the marketplace immediately thereafter. Phone was blazing fast.

I decided to push my stupid limits. I tried to download and install Eugene's Vibrant Hybrid final ROM that would give me glorious, stock android. I followed the instructions I found for "installing a ROM":

Copy the zip to the root.

Boot into recovery.

Go into clockwork recovery.

factory reset.

install zip from sd card.

after that's done, reboot.

I got a little chimy, should-be-startup noise, (not the standard vibrant start-up noise, but what I expect would be the new ROM start-up noise I downloaded) and then nothing. Just the Vibrant screen.

I can boot into recovery mode, but I don't know what to do next. I tried to find the backup I made on Clockwork, but it was NOT THERE. I am now panicking and trying not to do anything stupid to my phone.

read on Eugene's site that it could be that I don't have the correct kernel flashed to support the ROM...? At this point, I kind of just want my phone back while having to lose the least amount of data. Please Help.

and before I tried installing the ROM, I used the one-click lag fix from the market on my already rooted phone.

Thanks!

james
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabgard:
Did you disable the lag fix before flashing?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespwolpert:
no, didn't realize that it would be an issue until after flashing the ROM. I think I'm stuck in a boot loop... and I have access to a mac only at the moment. Tomorrow I'll have access to a PC if ODIN could help at all...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumaaneface:
its just a simple user error. Honestly imo opinion, if you are using the lagfix option found on the market, flashing to other roms reformats /data and /system and such undoing it. So thats not where your issue came from the flashing. Before the flash, if you were on stock jdf, the flashing the hybrid final rom didnt update your baseband/modem.bin and i am pretty sure that would put you in your situation. Possible situation number 2. You had the ota update on your phone already. Meaning you were running ji6 then the rom update.zip may have been corrupted or incomplete.

to fix either one of these situations is simple. As long as the answer to my next question is a hell no. Did you flash jacs xmod voodoo kernel after you flash the hybrid rom?? The faster you reply to this the faster i can get to to a solution. You will also need a computer that has adb installed and properly recognizing your phone.

IF YOU DID FLASH THE VOODOO LAGFIX YOU WILL NEED ACCESS TO A COMPUTER WITH ODIN AND ANDROID SDK!! WETHER IT BE A MAC WITH PARRELLS OR A VM OR LINIX OR WINDOWS.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumaaneface:
That is not true. Anything on his internal memory will be perfectly intact. And if he can still get into cwm recovery, he adb push a few files to the root of his sd card and boot right up depending the cause
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespwolpert:
I didn't flash **** after that. Just the Hybrid mod, then I was stuck. The steps I mentioned in my process were the only things that ever ever happened.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespwolpert:
also, yes, I (was) running JI6 as well. Until this fiasco.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespwolpert:
Eugene's thread for the hybrid mod also has files posted for, quote, "reboots and freezes" with the file name JFDkernanmodemji2.zip. All things that have been mentioned positively at one point or another in this thread. Since I am pretty sure I don't have the appropriate kernel to run the ROM, do I simply push the JFDkernanmodemji2.zip file to my root, flash it, then flash the ROM again and life will be good?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumaaneface:
Indeed. If it doesn't work. U had a messed up download. At that point redownload and push to sd root
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespwolpert:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumaaneface:
