Because some times, you just cannot control it.

There are apps that can only be installed in the internal memory.

It is just a simple question though, but it seems no one, not even those from popular news websites / blogs can answer this question. Although they have handled, fondled, played around the Xoom at CES / MWC *sigh*

My point was Google is smarter then us. Don't worry about it. ;)

[Desire General] mobile-solution:
I got a Desire probably out from orange UK, couldn't find any RUU or ROM for it so I've tried to debrand it using the riff-box.

I used the "%temp%" method the get the cid numbers from the RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed RUU and make the PB99IMG.zip file as well, also tried to flash this file using it inside goldcard.

no matter what I do I get stuck on the "HTC" logo and that's it, I can get to the bootloader and fastboot, I can change between 0.80 to 0.93 boot and can also debrand with the box but something isn't working.

Have anyone tried debranding with that box? or can give me some other directions using my tools how to flash it? perhaps a different RUU or ROM?

Is there a possibility that my goldcard isn't working? if it wasn't working I guess that couldn't flash the PB99IMG file at all, or am I wrong?

Any suggestions?

[Desire General] EddyOS:
Debranding with a gold card works fine so something else is going wrong your end. When you say it hangs at the HTC logo how long are you waiting?

Melone dismissed the Nokia-Microsoft deal, saying "I don't think Verizon needs the Nokia and Microsoft relationship. Right now the three OS players we see for our network are Android, Apple, and RIM."

wow, I'm pretty surprised at that. writing is on the wall from one carrier.

Verizon chief technical officer Tony Melone had harsh words for the recent deal between Microsoft and Nokia. That's bad news for Nokia and Microsoft, who desperately need carrier support to compete in the U.S. market.

In an interview with News.com, Melone dismissed the Nokia-Microsoft deal, saying "I don't think Verizon needs the Nokia and Microsoft relationship. Right now the three OS players we see for our network are Android, Apple, and RIM."

There's a historical reason for Verizon not to use Nokia: Verizon's network uses CDMA technology, while most of the world -- and AT&T and T-Mobile in the US -- use variants of GSM. Nokia stopped making CDMA phones some years ago, and Verizon currently carries no Nokia phones.

Still, Verizon's show of support for RIM runs in sharp contrast to comments from Nokia CEO Stephen Elop, who called the smartphone battle a "three-horse race" between Android, Apple, and Nokia-Microsoft.

Melone even had kind words for HP's WebOS, which has been stuck in last place for years, saying he was "more optimistic" about its prospects as a 3rd or 4th player.

Verizon has said via Twitter that it's "excited" to carry other phones running Windows Phone 7 when Microsoft adds CDMA support to the platform later in 2011.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
The writing is on the wall for Verizon. The CDMA carriers are weak and Verizon, though considered a powerful player, isn't as powerful as they think. Their iPhone business is showing to be a very short-lived launch. And I think Verizon will be in bankruptcy before too long.

Disregard anything Verizon says as pure nonsense.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Yeah that belongs in a "famous last words" file somewhere.

Isn't CDMA like decade-old technology?
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
worst take ever. they're going to file for bankruptcy eh? good thing I don't have you running my portfolio.
[Windows Phone 7 General] badersk:
Verizon is always speaking out negatively about anything they don't have. They didn't need the iphone until they had it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Reread it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] makoute:
What love are you talking about, sure they don't particular think Nokiasoft is going to be a great success, and they are not exactly jumping on the Nokia bandwagon, since they are already partnered with other WP7 producing manufacturers like HTC and Samsung. If VZ doesn't have a WP7 device in their lineup, that's Microsoft fault for not supporting a phone that is capable of running on VZ. BTW, I am a tmobile customer, and will be as long as they don't price my business away.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Are you serious? They broke their own record on launch day. They managed to sell a load of iPhones regardless of the fact that the iphone 5 is due soon. They weren't expecting to sell more than AT&T with a nearly year old device, I hope not .
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Don't worry, orangekid has a history of telling people their opinons are "the worst take he's ever seen" ...he did it to me as well, I guess you can't disagree with anything he likes.

With that being said, Verizon is getting a WP7 phone afaik, and this is the same approach they take to every party they're late to.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Going by what's being reported. Their long lines at-store were minimal at best.
[Windows Phone 7 General] waycoolkennel:
I like MicroKia better .. fwiw... ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] kasrhp:
It's all about what they sell. They currently don't have WP7, so they don't like it. They said the same about iPhone. I also find the Nokia deal to be a huge part of this seeing as Nokia hasn't made them a phone in years due to their wireless tech. This doesn't bnother me at all, and is expected from big red.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
This is a microKIA :D :
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The Radio stations here were mocking Verizon, saying there were more sales staff waiting to get in the stores than people in line for iPhones.

I know a few people who've already brought their phones back. CDMA isn't all that cool with cloud-connected phones that rely on push notifications, since you cannot get any of that when you are actually on the phone via a CDMA phone.

I know my mom has a CDMA Blackberry and it was frustrating installing software on her phone from App World because everytime a call would come it, the data connection would cut off and I'd have to restart the download all over again.

Verizon isn't going bankrupt any time soon. There are too many people willing to let Verizon rob the bank in front of their faces :P Plus, CDMA won't be much of a factor in 1.5-2 years. By then they will be running mostly LTE devices and even AT&T will have VoLTE devices launching.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
When you are scheduled to sell said OS within weeks, it makes no sense to completely trash it right before it goes on sale. If they feel that way why stock it in the first place? MS certainly doesnt have the power to force them, they obviously hate the OS and MS, they feel they have all the players they need, makes no sense.

Obviously when they do go on sale the numbers will be terrible because they will do absolutely nothing to promote it and probably their reps will mimic the t-mobile and at&t reps and steer customers away from them anyway. All that will lead to more bad press and just eventually become a self-fulfulling prophecy on how they dont want it, dont need it, etc. The smart thing to do would be to cancel the Verizon launch and wait for a more friendly climate to lanuch in, because as it stands VZW will probably do their best to kill WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Isn't LTE a data service like 3G/4G?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I think people are reading too much into this. They paid so much for promoting Android by trashing the iPhone that simply being skeptical about a platform is almost a love letter.

Also, he's basically stating the obvious. They don't "need" the alliance, but why would they, of all operators? It doesn't mean they hate it. WP7 is also a long way from proving itself as a viable contender, that's also true. Also, trash talk like this might help negotiating a better deal, currently MS needs VZW much more than VZW needs MS.

And, above all, you can't take a guy with a moustache like that seriously, can you?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Yes, but there will be Voice over LTE.

AT&T Looking to Launch it in 2013. Verizon maybe next year.

It will also allow SV&D.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Microsoft doesn't need Verizon that badly.

The same way Verizon hoped to steal customers with the iPhone, other carriers can guarantee customers will leave Verizon for WP7 if they do not get any WP7 devices. If Sprint gets a good WP7 device, and there are a couple more launched on AT&T/T-Mobile, people who want it will leave.

Verizon is expensive, anyways, and lots of people are looking for a reason to go to a cheaper carrier.

With Nokia Microsoft will be able to get into other markets much easier, which can offset Verizon. They don't need them that badly.

I find it comical that Verizon is saying RIM, when Blackberry has been hemmorhaging marketshare in the USA at an accellerating rate and their devices are becomming known for bad Quality Control (Bold 9780 Keyboard, Torch Software Sluggishness, etc.) not to mention the sheer unreliability of BIS (outtages galore recently).

On top of that, they didn't have anything to say about HP/Palm, and they just launched the Pre 2. I think it's a personal vandetta.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I wouldn't say that is true by a long shot. MS has enough support from other companies. Come to think of it... how many North American companies DON'T have wp7? I know the big three up here in Canada all carry at least two each.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
i believe it was a ploy to knock down whatever VW has to pay per handset for WP7 to be on it... if any fee is attached. maybe the manufacturer has to pay, but i would assume someone does.

VW has a slew of Android, RIM, and now Apple devices. It is possible that they really -don't- want the WP7 devices, or that they really don't care. One thing I'm pretty sure they do care about is selling contracts. The phone doesn't matter to them in the least which leads to....

if wp7 was flying off shelves and iphones were dusty, guess which phone VW, Tmo, ATT, whoever would be pushing to the front of the line ? yep
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Carriers don't pay that, Manufacturers do. Carriers subsidize the smartphones for contracts and service. That's what they profit from. They profit from the monthly fees and the value-add services (VZNavigator, ringtones, music downloads, callertunes, etc.) on the phones.

Maybe they want a cut of Microsoft's Marketplace profits, though.

If anything WP7 is a nice platform for them to monetize becasue of the features that are missing, thus far. They'll probably sell more VZNavigator service on WP7 than on Android, for example.

However, they cannot bake in bloatware into the OS, which is probably a bit of a showstopper for them.

Microsoft isn't Apple, you know how that goes...

[Droid 2 Global General] namsss:
I confirm that i have unlocked Droid 2 Global without Verizon activation and unlock code . Now I'm testting with all my country carrier , will post result soon . :cool:

Now , please do not update your firmware !
[Droid 2 Global General] aliwaqas:
great work! but how did u manage to do this?
[Droid 2 Global General] czskullik:
Any news? Could you please provide me the instructions how you get it activated and unlocked without Verizon code? I'd be glad if I could help you by testing it on my Droid2 Global. Thanks in advance.
[Droid 2 Global General] ipgpdp:
There is a guy can do this in China already, for a while. However he wouldn't reveal the secret. Not by TurboSim, not by hardware fix, etc. The phones need to be sent to him so he can do the "software refresh".
[Droid 2 Global General] KaedeKun:
did not work for me, I downgrade to 2.4.330 to 2.4.29 and did a factory / reset to ask me to activate again, but nothing happened, did not work the code simunlock

=(
[Droid 2 Global General] XtriFe:
namsss and Skinny1979

Are we talking about a droid 2 global that could not be unlocked by code previously?
[Droid 2 Global General] Skinny1979:
Yes, I have droid 2 global in Ukraine, and with Turbosim its works fine. I bought the code twice in the Ebay auction and it did not fit.
[Droid 2 Global General] KaedeKun:
but your droid 2 was activated?

I think that should work with non activated phone verizon
[Droid 2 Global General] Skinny1979:
My D2G wasn`t activated. I bypass activation screen

droidforums.net/img/droid-x-bypass.png

and insert turbosim

But there is little problem - you can only make and receive calls, no internet
[Droid 2 Global General] XtriFe:
Thanks for the info. Does everything on the phone works ok just as if it had been unlocked by code? (including data/internet)
[Droid 2 Global General] Skinny1979:
data/internet - not working :((

only calls
[Droid 2 Global General] XtriFe:
damn, that's not ideal but i guess it's something.

What about the OP's namsss solution?
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Have you set proper APN for data connectivity? By default D2G has very limited list of preconfigured settings and certainly it has no settings for Ukraine. Are you able to create Access Points in settings/wireless/mobile networks/access point names?
[Droid 2 Global General] Skinny1979:
I able to create Access Points in settings/wireless/mobile networks/access point names, and I set proper APN. But nothing :(

I flash CDMA part of D2G from Verizon to Intertelecom (ukrainian CDMA carrier), its easy, and now I have EVDO internet. But GSM - only calls.
[Droid 2 Global General] matthewngsm:
I don't know if this is just an isolated case but I would like to share with all D2G owners. I just got 2 D2G from eBay and they arrived this morning. I have done some research about this phone before about its usability after having to purchase unlock codes or what not to have it working.

However, upon inserting my simcard to the phone, it asked me to touch the Android icon and then it reads "A special call needs to be made to activate your phone service." ... I bypassed it by pressing "menu" and selected the network mode to be GSM only and it detected my Rogers sim card already with full signal. After that, I set up the wifi and it let me to pass through everything, all the way to the Android homescreen.

Now I have two fully functioning D2G... It just makes me wonder about what is going on with the difficulty to unlock the phone... it was as easy as a plug-and-play for me.

One important thing is, however, I am using a microsim, would that be the key to unlock the phone? lol i know this sounds dumb but I really didn't run into any problem using this phone, fresh from eBay brand new non-activated and locked to VZW.
[Droid 2 Global General] hungvt216:
you are not using GSM? GSM unlocked to use and not unlock the screen: D

@Namsss: You are "Chém gió" for me? You have to do, why not post them?
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Huh! Looks like this phone was already unlocked. My phone definitely asked me for subsidy unlock code when I inserted my Rogers SIM. Mine unlocked with a code I purchased off Internet. So you can call/use data services with Rogers and you've been never asked for unlock code?!
[Droid 2 Global General] XtriFe:
Seems like the two units you bought came already unlocked?

BTW how much did you get them for? if you dont mind telling us
[Droid 2 Global General] matthewngsm:
Exactly... I am able to use data as I see the 3G icon on the status bar, as well as being able to use the My Rogers Account app, which would allow you to retrieve the info. only if you are on Rogers 3G network. But then the thing is when I first turned on the phone, it asked me for activation. I clicked "activate" but it said I failed and had to call VZW hotline. At that point I switched the network mode to GSM/UMTS only and that activation screen never showed up again.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Yes, activation is something that's normal to go thru at initial setup. However, the fact that you weren't asked for unlock code with non-Verizon SIM in the phone means phone wasn't locked first place. I guess you're just one very lucky guy :)!
[Droid 2 Global General] matthewngsm:
Indeed. I guess that's the final conclusion. Both phones are unlocked and I am a proud D2G owner in Canada :D I just rooted it but that doesn't add too much to the phone itself cuz we don't have too many chefs here to cook up a nice rom for D2G. I wish it was as popular as my previous Galaxy S, the development threads that are created there in one day > the total of D2G related threads here at XDA...
[Droid 2 Global General] namsss:
Hi every one , Without activation the "Turbo Sim " works fine in 5 minus , Who is want to uses the phone with 5 minus . A lot of works to do .... be patien plz .

Temporary solution here to make D2G call & send sms : http://www.tinhte.vn/hoi-dap-chia-s...2-global-chua-unlock-duoc-573223/index21.html
[Droid 2 Global General] Skinny1979:
Yes, without data connection - in 5 minus :(
[Droid 2 Global General] namsss:
Yeah , How to active with Verizon ? while the phone in Vietnam ? More Vietnam people was scamed . The seller told that phone is "Global" or easy to unlock , this phone is brandnew and i'm not a lucky guy . Thanks :D
[Droid 2 Global General] the-light:
the headline thread "successful unlock" is missleading .
[Droid 2 Global General] namsss:
Dear , can you tell me how you "flash" or some info ?
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
So you see little "R" where the antenna signal is? Is your provider MVNO? This could explain why phone thinks it is roaming.

But even if that's a side effect from the TurboSIM, it is small price to pay to make the phone useable (price - not being able to distinguish when roaming and when not).

MVNO means sub-provider - operator without own network - renting bandwidth from another provider. Often phones using SIM cards from such provider wrongfully think they are roaming as the network seems not to be their home network.

Edit: Congratulations to everyone who did not manage to get their D2G unlocked the code way. Your unlock solution just become twice as cheap as the cheaper one before :)
[Droid 2 Global General] Skinny1979:
Yes, I see little "R" where the antenna signal is, my provider is not MVNO

and near antenna signal I see G or E with 2 little arrows

but it is not really roaming, I think it is just a side effect from the TurboSIM, and means nothing
[Droid 2 Global General] XtriFe:
wow, that's great news! so basically all you did was using the turbosim thing ?

Do you think that'll work on the non-unlockable droid 2 globals out there?
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
TurboSIM does not rely on unlock code to bypass the SIM lock protection. I am pretty sure it will work ok on "unlockable" D2G.

However Skinny1979 reports 2G working (GPRS/EDGE). Is that because his provider doesn't have 3G (UTMS/HSPA) on a compatible band (850/1900/2100) or because of the settings on the phone (locked to GSM only for power savings) or because TurboSIM screws up something - that remains to be explored.

It will be nice if 3G works. Limited to 2G on that phone is like driving Ferrari around in first gear only..
[Droid 2 Global General] XtriFe:
Oh i didnt realise it was only working on 2G for him.

And yeah, i had a Moto milestone (droid 1), paid full price for it ($500) but it was the european version so it was incompatible with my carriers 3G. As much as i loved that handset i had to sell it, i just couldnt stand the Edge speeds and instability.
[Droid 2 Global General] Skinny1979:
it will work ok on ANY "unlockable and NON-unlockable" D2G, becouse as example my D2G is NON-unlockable
[Droid 2 Global General] skaskater1:
US

Well we will see i have a Unlockable D2G in the US i got an unlock code and worked first try, but it wont run my tmobile sim it reads it but doesnt pick up the US bands ( Band locked to Verizon only in the states) so ive ordered a turbosim to see how well it actually works if it can skip the band lock then i guess everyone can use it right?
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
This is on my list of things to try next time I get to the States: try Rogers Sim+ TurboSIM to see if it will overcome the band suspension. The way TurboSIM's work, there is a high possibility the trick would work, IMO.

Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL
[Droid 2 Global General] skaskater1:
we will see soon

I have ordered a turbosim from ebay its on the way to me just waiting for it so i should be able to find out in the next week or so
[Droid 2 Global General] KaedeKun:
What is the model of the turbo sim to sell on ebay?
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
BTW - I tested with my old (2009 TurboSIM) to see what happens despite my phone is unlocked. Phone goes into roaming mode but I can't make data connection at all. MNC and MCC gets messed up (001/010) Calling works fine.

I have ordered from ebay the same one as skinny1979 to see what it will do.

When ordering - look for one with latest firmware release (2011 model /etc). Newer TurboSIM fw is, better are chances it will not screw up data (as voice usually always works).

Since Skinny1979 reported that specific one working, I decided to test with the same (plus it is dirt cheap).
[Droid 2 Global General] KaedeKun:
I can not order this sim model because they do not ship the product to Chile.

asked to see if I can buy one just like here in chile.

is most similar x-sim TurboSIM (black and covered chip)

I tested the other can not be inserted into the simcard slot
[Droid 2 Global General] haroldz123:
use viaddress service

it is package forwarding service

give u an U.S address then they will ship it to ur doorstep
[Droid 2 Global General] KaedeKun:
thanks you!

I'll try it!
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
It may look similar, but it may not have the same (better) firmware installed. My old TurboSIM (2009) breaks data connectivity when installed. It looks exactly the same as the one on the picture. I have another one (not black - yellow/translucent - one of these you are supposed to cut the card to use), I managed to install it without cutting but I get same results - phone roaming on MNC/MCC 001/010 and no data connection coming up. This is why I ordered one of these Skinny1979 got and says 2G data connecting. I want to see if I get data connection with it. Unfortunately 10-30 days for delivery - so it will be awhile before I can try.
[Droid 2 Global General] namsss:
Hi , i have been tell some Vietnamese to use Mr.Sim . This sim is used for sim unlock Japanese phone likely Softbank Docomo , It's Mr.sim 2.1 version and updated firmware for iphone 3g and it made in china :D . Now they can use Egde, HSDPA ...Full funtion .
[Droid 2 Global General] blackbeans:
Updated: Mr.Sim with sidekick phone firmware is the best solution up to now! :D
[Droid 2 Global General] jonnydominican:
