People have different taste :)

For example I like chocolate, but you don't - you like a beer. Same situation with handsets.
[Droid 2 Global General] cellzealot:
The solution is available as a paid service. We don't promote it openly here on XDA.

If you want to use your D2G or Pro on US GSM carriers you can, simple.

If you want to wait for someone to provide it for free then wait.

It might be a while... ;)
[Droid 2 Global General] acm1108:
WHO CAN I PAY TO GET THIS ROM?

[Droid 2 Global General] cellzealot:
PM me please so we can discuss it privately and not break forum rules.
[Droid 2 Global General] kyanox:
I have some lower level programming skill and would be willing to attempt a hack. What I don't get is, why can't someone over at motorola leak a working gsm firmware, or better yet an unlocked firmware. The hardware on this phone is awesome, just too bad the Big V has locked it. What I would need to break it, is 2 things. Factory firmware image, and the hacked image.

Has anyone considered a work around in which the radio is fooled into thinking code 310 is 311 or something?
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
There is slight issue. Baseband is signed. You can't alter it. If somebody leaks signed baseband image that's not crippled it would be ideal. Or unlock the bootloader...
[Droid 2 Global General] cellzealot:
Ok, TBH has decided to release the band unlock for the D2G and D Pro publicly.

We have been very busy and need time to write it up properly.

It still only works on stock devices on the original 2.4.29 firmware release for D2G and the 2.26.2 firmware for D Pro.

The solutions for later firmware revisions are in the form of unsigned radio images that cannot be flashed on secured hardware, as leobg suggested above.

We will also be opening our archives of internal files for devs to use to open this up and see if it cant be isolated from the radio images and applied to stock secured hardware, if at all possible.

So, very soon this will be available for anyone willing to run the older firmware and can manage the relatively simple procedure to edit the NV item required using RadioComm.

Full instructions will be posted with links to the necessary tools and files to flash back and then perform the edits.

Here's a little hint for those who know hex: 2042 record 0001 offset 0000 bytes 1 00
[Droid 2 Global General] the-light:
wow

does this include gsm unlock?
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
No. To use a TBH-unlocked phone on AT&T and T-Mobile's networks, it must be also SIM unlocked via Verizon or via an unlock code seller if you are lucky and that works for you.
[Droid 2 Global General] bhojo1:
will this work on Fission ?

I have the correct radio baseband version but I am using fission. Will it work on fission ?

I assume that the changes can be done using radiocomm... Has the procedure been published yet ?

Is there any particular version of radiocomm that is needed ?
[Droid 2 Global General] my_hope:
Wait.........................hope
[Droid 2 Global General] cellzealot:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16572174&postcount=22

I put up a quick and dirty guide that many users have been able to use to do this procedure. It has a link to RadioComm but not the SBF file for the 2.4.29 release firmware. This file is widely available on the web and on this forum.

Take a look and post your questions there and I will try to answer them.

Once you have all the tools to do this and have flashed the phone back to the 2.4.29 firmware, the rest of the procedure with RadioComm takes about 90 seconds if you are confident and understand the interface.

I do NOT recommend rushing through it, but it is a very simple procedure, it's just a very complex and scary software tool. Follow the instructions exactly and it should work.
[Droid 2 Global General] Firedrake1:
Once we do the hack do you have a "Best way" to avoid an OTA? I know we can freeze the update.apk but i was wondering if there was a better way.
[Droid 2 Global General] cellzealot:
That is basically it. There are a couple of things you can disable/freeze or remove altogether.

FOTA.apk and BlurVZWUpdater.apk otacerts can be renamed
[Droid 2 Global General] Firedrake1:
ok so:

go freeze "updater 2.2" and "FOTA 2.2" in Titanium and this would be a good way to block OTAs without adverse side effects? I ask about the side effects ebcause i have heard of people complaining about renaming otacerts and getting adverse battery life, or is this just a rumor? Thanks for all this help and advice CZ, we really appreciate it :)
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
So here is what I did to see if I can battle the dreaded radio disconnects: flashed SBF 2.4.29 so old radio image gets flashed, applied CellZealot's hack for the band locks, rooted/bootstrapped, then flashed latest nightly build od CM4D2G. 2 days now and yet to experience a single sign of radio disconnect. Push email works reliably too using the standard Android corporate email client. Of course phone is much faster than stock too. Missing the BLUR dialer and contacts, but totally loving CM7 profiles (this is the best feature of CM7 IMO). Audio pop/skip bug is also sorted out by this. So except of the broken bluetooth and VPN this is how D2G must have shipped from factory..

As a con I can mention older radio burns thru battery faster (about 10-20% faster), but I rather have 8 hours battery life and reliable phone than 12 hours of a phone that doesn't ring when called...

It's been said many times that it's built into the 2.3 kernel, so a metamorph will not do it. You will not have this feature until we're running gingerbread on our phones.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] juinny:
Hi,

I read in SuperOneClick thread that we can extract unlock code after root but it doesn't explain how.

Phone locked to Telus.

Please and thanks!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
I don't think so, that it is possible, because this code (operator lock) is independent on system itself. It is most probably stored in GSM module of phone device and its unreachable by standard way.

I'm not sure with this, but code, which you mentioned is probably some kind of code for unlock device for firmware update/upload for some devices.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] tackleberry:
Anyone else here as old school as i am...a standard molded simple holster with belt clip is good enough?

i dont understand why there are 9 trillion cases out there, and why anyone thinks these phone condoms are any good. i for one, most of the time dont even use my holster and just throw it in my pocket.

maybe im just ranting, or maybe i make sense?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] neidlinger:
I bought a holster for my Phone. used it about a week and promptly bought a case for it. It's really odd on the hip.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] chrisjs81:
Last time I had a holster it was for an old tdma nokia. I kept smacking into door frames when walking through. That would be a disaster for this phone. Just me though. :)

You could probably get a generic clip and stick it on the phone if you really wanted to.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ESKIMOn00b:
I love my holster.... use it all day at work...
[myTouch 4G Accessories] navarde:
I do personally use the bodyglove snap on case and screen protector. It has a clip and is also an stand
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Jaskwith:
Same, I use the leather holster, its so convenient...just through it in there and get back to work ;)

I used to just throw my phones in my pocket, but that sucks... because then its like throw in the back pocket but my wallet is in my one so that leaves the other one, but then when I want to sit down I have to move it, and then I usually have keys in one of my front pockets...and so I can't throw them in that one because get all scratched up...etc..etc.. just has a lot of organizing my pockets..instead of just having a holster. Also notice that with my iphone...got a lot of lint in the speaker wholes etc... anyways HOLSTER FTW!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Kid Poker:
get the seido case combo, that's what I just got, waiting it to come in the mail.

[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Okay?

And we already have drawer on launchers like adw launchrpro zemo or something
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
And direct Google support. Dungeon Defenders runs a little smoother on it than my Vibrant with the same specs. They are really similar though.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Once we get a ROM that has our galaxy s in mind ours can kick its ass.

We have the best processor a phone can have currently. But no rom to use its full potential.

The nexus one with its snapdragon, I think, its performing better than us because ginger bread is designed for snapdragon.
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
lol!!!!!!!
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Let me slap you to your senses - we are talking about Nexus S not Nexus One
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
There's already several great roms in the dev section designed for Vibrants. Eugene's R14 final is the fastest, smoothest, most stable rom I ever had my Vibrant on and it's still running it. I never tried Nero but from the overwhelming amount of posts I assume it's also a great choice.

Also as someone pointed out we are talking about the S not the One, and Nexus One doesn't have gingerbread yet, only the S. Currently there are no snapdragon phones running an official gingerbread rom.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
There are stable roms. I know that.

I run ginger clone, but NONE of them are using the processors full potential.

Notice how the nexus s runs better than us? Samsung DESIGNED that phone for ext4 and other stuff.

Yeah I'm sorry I was thinking about a, nexus one when I wrote that so I also said snapdragon.

I'm just saying when google made the phone they also MADE gingerbread for it.

We have a bunch of custom roms that come from a leaked rom.

their stable fast look good, but they aren't making our phones use the while processor, I'm not taking about overclocking.
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
The new voodoo kernels basically bring us up to speed with the nexus s, as far as ext4 is concerned. Have you even played with a Nexus S? I did out of the box and compared to a fresh Nero install with supercurios kernel, they are equally as fast from the few tests I ran.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
I agree. Nero v3, for example, is very snappy.
[Vibrant General] ScooterG:
Love Nero v3, but the Nexus S is faster. It's more polished and complete. The Vibrant with Nero is like the super sexy girl next door. The Nexus S is like the super sexy girl driving a Porsche with a short skirt and a loooong jacket.
[Vibrant General] Tonicacid:
I disagree the nexus s running side by side with my vibrant in best buy loaded web pages slower. About the only thing it does better is turn off. Thats with me running nero v3+voodoo with adw launcher ex.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
LOL, nice song reference.
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
She doesn't have a T-Mobile tramp stamp either.
[Vibrant General] Boss_Diva:
Lol cute..

Just a question since a friend of mine has an evo and bragging saying they'll have gb before us vibrant owners. Doesn't 2.3 require certain specs? Is the snapdragon capable of running it? This may be off topic but im just curious. I know the vibrant can run gb being that its so similar to the nexus s.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
As google has promised GB to the Nexus One I would say yes. Gingerbread can very easily be run on Snapdragon processors. Google has not come out with any specific requirements. Froyo is running on G1 with the help of the CM team.
[Vibrant General] Boss_Diva:
Okay that's feasible.. :-) I just imagined it would run smoother on nexus s /vibrant processors along with the ext4 file system
[Vibrant General] hellcatrydr:
By the colors:

Not THAT much faster...

I kinda like 'em with a bit less polish.

She's got MY vote!

Expensive, high maintenance, and fewer features than the 1 next door.

Oh wait... You were talkin' about phones, huh? My bad.:p
[Vibrant General] Bronk93:
I gave my vibrant to my gf and picked up a nexus s. From my experience the NS is significantly faster out of the box than my vibrant was running Nero 3 with voodoo. I've had the NS for 2 days now and the only gripe I have is the weak wifi issue. Would I recommend the NS to someone that already has a Vibrant? Short answer.....No. Wait for dual core.
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
They may get the update the gingerbread first, but they'll never be able to run a game like dungeon defenders like we can.
[Vibrant General] osugsxr:
both are nice, I would recommend the vibrant over the nexus S currently. Nexus S will be replaced in a few months, nexus one held its own for awhile and still can stand strong with the new phones out there. Coming from the nexus one, I was stuck between the vibrant and S. Either $550 for new phone or $160 for a vibrant off craigslist. Well I went with the vibrant and it hold up for awhile, solid phone. Can always upgrade to the next upcoming phone
[Imagio ROM Development] jrhoden70:
ok so if i flash my imagio with whitestone spl what do i do next?

does that leave me more options as far as themes,etc...

can the phone now be used with another carrier and NOT verizon - it is a verizon imagio...

thanks in advance
[Imagio ROM Development] Patam:
Yep.

For using it with another carrier you need to unlock it. Now it should be locked to Verizon.

Also you can change device ROM.
[Desire HD General] rosswaa:
What are your thoughts on the best sense roms at the min?
[Desire HD General] quarintus:
Threads about what is the better ROM are not liked much on XDA. This is because the quality of a ROM is about personal preference.

Also, debating what ROM is best can discriminate some developers that are working hard, just because some people like their ROM less. Other people won't try it out then, while maybe the ROM suits them best.

Besides that, it's just not nice towards the devs. It's like having two artists both comming to you with a painting and then telling to one his/her painting isn't good and to the other his/her painting is much better, while your knowledge about art isn't even so good (at least not so good as the artists).

I do get you want to know what ROM (if that is the case) to choose, but then just look at what the devs say about their ROM and the recent reactions from users. Then you get an idea what to expect. Also, it can't hurt to try them out :).
[Desire HD General] Elemental_Fire:
Speaking honestly, when I first joined XDA, I too used to ask questions like the OP. However, my views have changed. Each "Chef" cooks his own rom in a different way, as their roms are aimed at different target groups. Thus each rom will have its own advantages, disadvantages and more, making each rom taste "unique". The only way you know what you like is by trying something new everyday or when the opportunity arises. The same goes with flashing. Download both roms (and more) flash them, spend a few days and see how it feels for you. If you like it, keep it. On the other hand, if you can't be bothered to even flash...why are you on XDA? ;)

Good day, and I don't want to see another post where flaming could occur.
[Desire HD General] Burning_aces:
Agreeing with both of the guys/girls..presuming guys, while your intentions are good, its all personal preference.
[Desire HD General] rosswaa:
So people won't answer because its not fair on the dev? I hardly think so, basing a question on personal preference wouldn't harm any support a dev would get from followers

If anything its a positive being compared

Its not like I'm asking for faults, one will have different features not necessarily better just different, all I wanted to know is what made people choose the rom
[Desire HD General] slopppy:
Maybe a better question would be - what are the main differences between LeeDroid and Revolution? Then you could make an informed decision as to which to try (or which to try first at least).

I'm using LeeDroid now, but I'm curious as to how Revolution differs and if I should give that a shot as well. Doing a bit of a scan of the Revolution thread doesn't show anything obvious, but I'm sure there are differences.
[Desire HD General] djcsurf:
I myself have been browsing both threads as just rooted my DHD & unsure which to give a try first.

Gonna wait for their next updates & see which appears to be the most solid.

Not to sure if I wanna go Sense or NoSense, possibly the latter.
[Desire HD General] kedirakevo:
Yes please, i do agree with the comparison making devs feels bad and stuff...

But all some of us wants to know is what are the differences? like lees is targeted at what kind of users? Revolution is more for who... and stuff like that...

Its like some likes the PSP and some the NDS... PSP for more mature and action gamers while NDS is more for the kids and ladies... and of course there are exceptions and thats where flashing both roms comes... but first we just wanna know, what is what?. . .

Pretty please ? :D
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
LEEDROID no doubt about it :D
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
So what's better? Big Mac or Quarter Pounder? Well it depends who you ask.

Anyway you left out RcmixHD. Which is an equally good rom just different. Some people prefer vanilla ice cream.

Leedroid and Revolution are the most popular but that isn't strictly the same as being the best.

Someone swyped my idea.
[Desire HD General] anheuer:
Anyone who can explain what the main differences are between the 2 roms?

I am about to flash a custom rom for this phone (first time flash on my dhd)

And i looked at the threads but i dont see the differences.

though here i see there are differences but they arent mentioned.

anybosy wanne explain them?

(not looking for a "who is better" answer, just to know the differences so i can deside what would suit me better)

Thanks!
[Desire HD General] robE9:
There is no major differences between ARHD and Leedroid because they both support the ideea of "close to stock as much as possible" ideea but with many optimizations and custom kernels which also gives more battery life and a very smooth experience.

The only thing i would say that differs is the kernels but no major differences i would say because ARHD uses Apache kernel and Leedroid uses his own kernel which has some things from Apache kernel but Apache has some things from lee`s kernel and so on.

Personally i am with Leedroid since 1.1 version and i`m more than satisfied, i found him more experienced but it`s just matter of prefference.
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
You're best bet is really just to test them ;)

Flash one, make a backup in recovery, use it for a few days and see how you like it.

Flash the other, make another backup, use it for a few days and see how you like that one.

If you like 2nd one best you don't need to do anything else, but if you decide you like the 1st one best just restore the backup.

No one should ever feel tied into one ROM as it's so easy to flash and test others. I used to try 3 or 4 a week on my Hero back when chef's were knocking them out in quick succession ;)

Personally I've only ever used ARHD on my DHD but am keen to try LeeDroid and VillainROM too (I was a big Villain fan on Hero). Problem for me is finding the time!
[Desire HD General] anheuer:
thanks!

i think i will go with revolution first because i found everything i need for that.

the site for leedroid is a little unclear to me..
[Desire HD General] Slem101:
I've been using Leeroid for a couple of days. I was hoping for better battery consumption over stock, but the difference isn't substantial. I also find that the auto-brightness is too low for my liking. And there seems to be a couple of transition glitches, as far as I can tell. I plan to use it for a week before trying out Revolution.
[Desire HD General] DeathJester:
Definitely Shadowline ROMS.

Wait, is this the Topaz forum? :D
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
Haha, 2009 just called and said hello :p
[Desire HD General] pioppa84:
LeeDroid it s better for the look but Revolution it s faster than LeeDroid
[Desire HD General] crypt.1nj3ct:
I have tried LeeDroid only once and it is crap..

I really recommend Android Revolution HD 2.0.12, it is REALLY fast! And ARHD's developing speed is fast. You will get updates almost every week, some times twice... It will include much themes and if you don't like Sense, you can install NoSense mod. I recommend!
