[Venue Pro General] NeverSummer07:
Thanks for the heads up. I want the Ominia 7 or Focus for the great display, 4", and weight. Unfortunately T-Mobile only have two WP7 to choose from and HD7 is not an option, it hards my eyes:(
[Venue Pro General] Made2Last:
lol but it has 850/1900! That means I can just use it on at&t 3g! Whats edge? Kidding.
[Venue Pro General] CrownSeven:
Hmm, another interesting article on wmpoweruser, looks like the DVP may support more bands than we think? Hmmm maybe I should return the Focus and get another DVP lol.

http://wmpoweruser.com/dell-venue-pro-diagnostic-menu-may-indicate-penta-band-support/
[Venue Pro General] Made2Last:
The only people using pentaband right now is nokia.

There was a version of the DVP that had 850/1900 3g bands that passed through FCC recently. It may mean nothing. It could mean Rogers/Bell/Telus is going to get it.

The Streak 5 passed through the FCC with t-mo aws bands at one time, but only at&t version remains. Its never a guarantee especially with a company like Dell.
[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
You are missing the point - the suspicion is that all such models are hardware-identical, with certain frequencies enabled/disabled in the firmware. If this method is the way that Dell's manufacturer "specializes" the DVP for a particular band in the factory, maybe we can use it to change what frequencies the phone supports.

You'll recall from the FCC testing docs that Dell acknowledges the existence of a pentaband chip in the phone, and has a special letter swearing to the FCC that they will disable certain bands. We just might make liars out of them.

Enabling all frequencies at once might not be FCC-approved, but switching from 900/1700/2100 to 850/1900/2100 would seem pretty safe, given than the FCC has tested and approved both configurations.
[Venue Pro General] Made2Last:
Why would the phone pass through the FCC twice if it has a pentaband? I guess other things could be changed and need to be certified.

Good luck figuring it out I'm not holding my breathe, even though I would be interested in one on at&t.
[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
There will be an AT&T-compatible one sold on Rogers Canada in a couple of months, that's already been pretty much confirmed.

Early tests of the AWS Venue Pro suggest that the secret interface doesn't actually enable extra bands, but can merely shut existing ones off. That said, there are things about the interface that weren't very clear, and other things we were afraid to try.

So yeah, no holding breaths :P
[Venue Pro General] elyl:
Someone reliable tells me that there is no distinction between US DVPs and European ones on the Dell stock system apart from an additional sku for the SIM card it ships with.

I don't know if we can take from that, but I wouldn't rule out pentaband controlled by the firmware just yet.
[Venue Pro General] hx4700 Killer:
If anyone wants to KNOW for sure and have had someone test it... I won a DVP and just got the unlock code today. Put my AT&T SIM in and EDGE only, no 3G.
[Venue Pro General] GeeTah:
Same situation with us. We bought some new hardware from Dell for our server room and bought a DVP at the same time (supposedly unlocked and ready for ATT). Dell insisted that the DVP was "completely ATT 3G compliant." It isn't. It doesn't connect to the 3G network at all.

Our DVP is less than 14 days old, has the most recent build of all the onboard bios stuff on the device. Even took the sim card to ATT and had a new one generated just in case. Still no 3G. Edge only.

Currently, Dell (who insisted - again - 15 minutes ago that the phone will do 3G on ATT) is sending us a replacment DVP to see if the one we got was defective (we doubt it)... We'll post the results of that. About time we contributed someting here - we've used this forum for 2 years (just actually joined today).

[Venue Pro General] venelar:
Sounds as if they sent you a T-Mo unit. My at&t DVP is running like a champ.
[Venue Pro General] GeeTah:
That's a possibility I guess (and it would make sense), except that ATT's codes and logins (APN settings, etc.) were all though the comm and network settings, no mention of T-Mobile.

We'll see if the replacement acts the same way.

Dude if you're ever looking to part with this, look me up. I've been searching a long, long time :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mickliq:
Does anyone know if it will be possible to unlock the Droid 2 Global or Pro? I know they are CDMA devices by default but as they also have WCDMA SIM cards I would love to use this unlocked on WCDMA networks. I know some BB's on Verizon (and previously on Bell/Telus) were sold like this and unlocked so I'm guessing theoretically possible, but is it likely???
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jgor2000:
Hi that would be great so when I travel to EU I would just put a pre-paid SIM inside and avoid any Roaming charges.

Does anyone know? Maybe installing Cyanogen will unlock it?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jy3ng4:
Yes, I just unlocked my D2 Global yesterday. Call VZW Global Support and they will give you the unlock code as long as your line has been active with no late payments for at least 6 months.

There are still some kinks though because when I put in my foreign SIM and scanned for local GSM networks, nothing came up. Others on various forums have reported this issue as well. I'm hoping it's just that this happens while in the USA, but I'm waiting to see if anyone else can shed some light on it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jgor2000:
Hi I think you need to turn off CDMA and turn on GSM.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jy3ng4:
I wish that were the case lol. It turns out VZW may have somehow restricted access to the 850/1900 MHz GSM/UMTS bands, even though the device has the hardware to support them.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hgrimberg:
Q: Because it has two unlock codes. One unlocks any Sim card, the second code will be prompted only if the Sim card is not of any US carriers. Thanks

fastboot just for the zImage

adb push or Root Explorer or Terminal Emulator to cp the wifi file.

I used terminal emulator...

su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
cp /sdcard/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

That still doesn't work for me wtf!?

If I do:

adb push bcm4329.ko /sdcard/bcm4329.ko

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

cp /sdcard/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules

I get:

cp: not found

So to get around this, I adb pushed the bcm4329.ko into the sdcard and from there - moved it into the system/lib/modules using Root Explorer.

Will that work?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tankmorph:
We don't have the 'cp' command by default.

I used 'cat /sdcard/bcm4329.ko > /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko' instead.

Worked for me...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coolbho3000:
Posted a version 2 with fixes for mistakes I made in the frequency table. This one should work well. You don't have to reflash the wifi module.

Right, depending if you used visionary or not you might not have busybox. Going to update the instructions, thanks.

When I try:

cat /sdcard/bcm4329.ko > /system/lib/modules

[General Questions and Answers] Anderdroid:
XDA should offer premium membership... What would this include?

Ads removed, no PM timer (can't send multiple PMs within 30 seconds, a bit annoying if you have a lot to answer and are short on time), no search timer.

I realize that these timers are to prevent spam and to prevent server overload as well, but the majority of users wouldn't end up upgrading to premium, however having these features accessible to those of us that are willing to pay for them would be great.

I think this would be great. I don't really know where to offer suggestions but I hope XDA considers this. It could also be a source of revenue to pay for servers.

Another feature idea I have could be "Live Topics" for premium users. What is Live topics? HTML5. Topics refresh themselves. Kindof like Google Instant works, but topics automatically show the next post seamlessly as soon as it's posted. This could take a huge toll on server if it were a global feature, but I think for a Premium user if Premium is made possible, it would be great for them and wouldn't hurt the server as bad.

I'm an HTML5 / PHP developer and I'd gladly program any of these features for free including PayPal instant integration for premium membership and dealing with VBulletin mods.

Maybe a monthly fee to be premium?

What do you think?
[General Questions and Answers] macfan74318:
I think yearly and monthly and plus the money gained can be use to add more servers, bandwidth, and can improve the site. But all the features offered should be offered in one way or another to the average free user.
[General Questions and Answers] SB13X:
I think this would be a great thing to implement but rather than have our donations provide for extra benefits for the user beyond a specialised title indicating our donation to the community the money itself should go toward providing services for devs to use such as those provided by github etc...

Once the hboot_dhd.nb0 file had completed, I believe I sync'd, then I attempted to run VISIONary which said the phone was already rooted. Went ahead and hit "Restart," then ran VISIONary one more time when it was done and restarted again to get it to stick.

*leaves thread*

I really try to leave ADB out of the equation since I'm not comfortable navigating it.... I suppose I could dedicate my time to learning it, but it's not worth it since I would only use it once every two years to root my phone. In 16 hours I'm sure there will probably be a one click perm root method out anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tazz9690:
It worked flawlessly!

I always get so stressed when I root my phones, especially without tutorial vids.

I first did my G1 and that worked perfectly fine.

My second attempt at rooting was with my MT3G and that resulted in a bricked device because one of the lines of code was incorrect in the thread.

This, however, was clearly and plainly spelled out exactly to what happened to my phone.

I give you my thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trigeek:
Awesome- glad to hear it's working well for people. If anybody sees areas that I could improve in the description just let me know.

ADB is worth it IMHO because it makes moving files around easy, whether you're rooted or not. You don't have to turn on SD card storage, you can just do adb pull/push etc to grab or put files when you need them. Worth the effort. The one click root should be out within the next couple days though, you are right about that one.
