Got my wife a cliq 2. How come there is no forum for it?
Sent from my HTC HD2 Gingerbread using XDA App
trying to find info for a friend who has this, what is the "codename"?
a few of us opted to go with the quirky phone and we are even getting an update from motorola soon (beta testing now) we may now have the source for it yet or figured out how to crack the bootloader but i think its time we have our own forum so if nothing else we can help each other with the quirks of this device.
I just an update for this device yesterday. Now has new junk that I don't want, and still isn't 2.3.
This phone needs it's own section.
anyone get the internet2.voicestream.com apn working on the cliq2?

The phone is scheduled for release on 6/20/10, but some people already have one. Anyone know how to root the phone? Also, do we have to wait for the official 2.2 update for it, or is there are 2.2 ROM I can install on it, once rooted. I am making a big change here from WINDOWS and feel like a noob all over again. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I just picked it up today, its a great phone. but there is no root as of yet(the phone isnt even officially released until tomorrow) but there may be a root someday soon or someday in the future or maybe not at all. and no there isnt a froyo update for it yet, but there may be an official one in the future, its up to AT&T.

Ha! 'Nuff said! If it was up to AT&T there would never be an update.
HTC will probably update it to 2.2 later this year, but even then it will be a crippled version. AT&T won't allow tethering, no sideloading apps, and any number of other things they want changed.
It's a shame, it woulda been a nice phone on any other network.
If the hardware is as similar to the HTC Legend as reported, then maybe it's rootable after all using the same method. I don't know if the Bell/Virgin Canada Legend has been rooted yet but it has the same 3G frequencies as AT&T. I wonder if the Legend ROM can be forced onto the Aria. Then you'd be unshackled from AT&T's silly Android restrictions!
Hi all,
I'm going to be getting an HTC Evo Shift from someone, which I think has Android 2.2 Froyo on it.
The phone was reported lost and a replacement obtained, then after getting the replacement the old phone was found.... but Sprint said they had written it off, and didn't want the old one back. The ESN remains blocked on Sprint because of this, but they won't unblock it and just said they didn't want it.
Soooo, I'm going to use it as a WiFi only device... but I'd really like to get Gingerbread 2.3 onto it somehow... which I'm assuming can't be done OTA if the ESN is blocked on the Sprint network?
Also, I'm in Canada so once I get it, I won't have access to the Sprint network at all.... and I don't know if the update can be downloaded and installed manually through the computer or what. Anyone know?
I heard the Evo Shift can be rooted as well, but that sounds very complicated to me... so I'm still figuring out what my options are with regards to getting the software as updated as possible.
Any advice would be appreciated
id personally recommend reading up on how to root your fone..
and once you get that going...
you can just install a diff rom that has 2.3 on it..
=D
hey
I did a bit of reading on rooting bit it seems like its different for all devices and some are "one click" solutions while others are multi-step instructions full of unfamilliar terms and procedures which could ruin the phone. lol
I did read some instructions that pertained to the Evo Shift, but there was much involved that my brain shut off after reading the first few steps.
I was really hoping for something simple. but that might be a pipe dream, eh?

Looks like the simplest root method for the shift. I haven't tried it, but since it is on xda good chance it is well supported.

Thanks for the link.
Still sounds scary... but I'll finish reading the rest of the discussion later and see what others ultimately had to say about it.
Still open to comments from others too if anyone has any.
I dont have the phone yet, I'm just getting prepared so I can get to work updating it as soon as it arrives.
Easy and fast root method

The link that was posted would be the easiest for someone but the perm root instructions that are stickied in the development section is what I have used many times on my shift and my girls shift when I root, you can do it either from the pc or from terminal on your phone just have to make sure the commands are exact so I would say just use the pc and copy from the root instructions and paste in command prompt. There are a few gingerbread ROMS to choose from 2 are stock, one is newkidds the other is X99s ROM, then there is MikShiFted-G which is a very optimized and snappy GB, and last there is Elite v1.2 over on themikmik which is based off MikShifted-G but has carousel Rosie and 3D widgets, whatever you do don't try the ota if it goes through you will be stuck with a OS that hasn't been rooted yet

Thanks for the replies guys.
I might give it a shot when it arrives.
There is a lot more I need to look into first.
I've seen lots of people say that if a CDMA phone has a carrier blocked ESN, that you can flash another carriers ROM onto it and activate it with them. I think Cricket Wireless or Boost Mobile was mentioned, but I can't remember.
Here in Canada, Bell still runs CDMA but they will NOT allow a non-Bell CDMA phone to be connected to their network, under any circumstances. HSPA/GSM they will though.
It I could flash the ROM to a carrier other than Sprint, that might be a good idea. That way the thing can potentially have some value as a phone too, and maybe serve me as a roaming device when I travel to the US. Or, would just installing one of the third party ROM's allow it to be activated on another carrier?
I'm really not familliar with the way the US carriers operate.
So, sprint just released an OTA update to 2.3.6 for the Samsung Replenish (SPH-M580). Thing is, for me (and others, I'm sure) the update somehow both automatically applied an obnoxious Sprint ID skin as well as crippled the Sprint ID service. This leaves users with an ungodly 2.2/2.3 hybrid which manages to look even worse than Froyo, and no Sprint-sanctioned method of fixing it.
So, rather than sit idly by and wait for Sprint to slowly/never patch this (neither Sprint nor Samsung had anyone who could help me), I've decided to root the device.
A few questions:
1. Here, someone achieved root back in mid-2011. Would that method be viable after the update to 2.3?
2. Would other exploits (i.e. gingerbreak via SuperOneClick) be viable with 2.3.6?
3. Is CWM or Cyanogen compatible with this handset? The whole reason I was looking forward to the update was certain UI features that I noticed on newer gingerbread devices like the SGS2 (power options on notification screen, paged applications drawer, zoom-out on home screen), and none of those are available thanks to Sprint.
Hopefully this gets more than 2 replies; sometimes it seems like nobody owns this phone on here.

Wow, just found another UI goof - in some apps (XDA included) the loading icon is a rotating circle, but it's in a non-square space, so it ends up looking like a goofy wobbling ellipse. Urgh.

Agh, can't anybody help with this?
I guess nobody anywhere ever had this device.
Can someone direct me to a forum where I might find help? :c

Im on the same boat as you, but my phone is on Boost. I've been looking for hours and can't find anything. I'll let you know if I find any leads.
Are you on Froyo? If so, I think someone posted a batch file a few months ago that would work.

Has anyone figured this out yet? Is there a comparable root for another Samsung device that would work with the replenish? Seems like someone should have figured it out by now...
I have a rooted Replenish on 2.3
I have a rooted replenish on Phoenix 0.2 the Download and instructions are on android central just search replenish
forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-replenish/148702-acs-rom-phoenix-rom-0-2-a.html
It wont let me post the link because im new here
Odin may be only option right now
I have a coworker with a Replenish. Rooted it with KMS originally (was a PITA, but if you timed it right, it worked), since he updated it to gingerbread I have not found a working solution.
I downloaded the Phoenix 0.2 rom from above and will test it out when I see the phone again. I'm guessing from what I read in the comments relating to that ROM that it will work fine.
Note about flashing using ODIN: From what I know, ODIN is the tool samsung uses to push firmware to their phones. This will overwrite the boot loader and if something goes wrong during flashing you can brick your phone. Make sure you are using a good powered USB port on your computer with a good working USB cable for the phone (preferably the one that came with it that has the samsung sticker on it). I've bricked a phone before using a crappy USB port on my computer, so be careful :-/
your savior!!!!!!!!! lol XD

Need rooting for dummies
I need help. I have read, re-read and read again every and any instructions I have located for rooting a Boost Samsung Replenish and am still completely confused. I need step-by-step instructions from A to Z which most do not have and to complicate things more, instead of using Odin I am using Heimdall since Odin can not run on Mac. I have been unable to find any instructions on using Heimdall to root my phone. Please help. Phone information below
Boost Samsung Replenish
Model SPH-M580BST
Android Version 2.3.6
Band Version S:M580.06 x FB03
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7
Build Number GINGERBREAD.FB03
Hardware Version M580.06
I am in a bit of a delimma, while i was updating via kies my computer shut down and now my phone is not starting to the os. I can no longer connect to kies while in download mode or any mode. I cannot find stock rom for my sgs4g sgh-t959w. My questions is does anyone know much about this model of phone and if I would be able to flash a stock or custom rom that is on this fourm?
If you were updating through Kies and this happened take it back to where you bought it or call Samsung. I don't think it would be a good idea flashing anything on this forum.
i was gonna say the same. if i'm correct, the sgh-t959w is the windows version of our device.
sent from within pure untamed darkness
what???????
I THOUGH THIS PHONE IS SGH-T959"V"
Airfluip would you read. You just told a guy from Poland to take his phone to a T-Mobile store. Now you are confused about the model number this guy has?
He is aware of the model number of our phone. That is why he is asking.
thanks everyone for quick replies. I will call samsung tomorrow about my issue and see what they can do. I have noticed that my model of phone cannot be found on the samsung website. I cannot find much information about it at all on google or any forum. Now i am curious, is there even any custom roms for this model?. Maybe someone on this forum knows more about it. Would love to heat back on what you guys think.
Thanks in advance
I've never even heard of it either, let alone is Google helping. All I'm finding are batteries.
Is it a WindowsPhone device? Where can I learn more about it? I'm kind of interested in one if it exists.
It's the Wind SGS4G.
that's about all I know. I don't think its windows tho..
Sent from my SGH-T959V
I know it is wind mobility sgs4g and it is android based. That all i know though. I am hoping samsung will have the firmware so i can just flash it via odin instead, or hopefully they can figure out why it is not connecting to kies. I will keep everyone updated.
What was the original boot screen like? ? Kinda weird they'd release a phone under same name as ours a year later and it would be much different.

It also has more internal memory, 16 vs 2.

Just purchased today from Mobilicity (Canada)
Greetings from Toronto,
I am finding the same dead end routes with this phone....which pisses me off because I did my due diligence and still end up with something I am unhappy with. I snickered today when I asked the sales associate about ICS, and he said, you'll have to wait for Samsung. I guess my arrogance was unneeded cause now it seems I am stuck. Another poster above mentioned why such a difference for the same phone from T-Mobile ....(My last phones, the Motorola cliq xt, and the LG Optimus 2 LG P999 were a breeze to root....both from T-Mobile) so Why such problems now.....
I'd love to hear of any success stories....please.....
Sadly you probably are stuck. This version of the Galaxy S 4G is very new. And since its specifically for Mobilcity I doubt our roms would work. There are just enough differences I wouldnt want to chance it.
I would go back and tell the rep you just dont like the phone and would like to trade it for a different one.
Basically my girlfriends evo shift has pretty much bitten the dust, the backlight on the screen only works sporadically and i really don't want to fuss with trying to replace the cable, I just want to return it to sprint and get a replacement handset for her ( I know it's EOL but we can't upgrade till next year hoping replacement wont cost too much). I've been cruising the forums as well as google, trying to find a way to get it back to stock from CM7, I have read all the forum threads about how to do it I'm just having a couple issues.
1. none of the links for the ruus or roms seem to work anymore, I'm not being able to reach multiupload, don't know if its the firewall here or if the site is just buggered, anyone have an alternative d/l site?
2. HTC sync can't find the phone, windows definitely finds it ok, but htc sync says no device is connected, any thoughts?
I'd appreciate any help/thoughts anyone might have, I have full protection on our handsets so if there might even be a way to just bypass this and get sprint to replace the handset, I'd be fine with that too, I've got her info backed up so I'm rearin to get this thing done.
* weird side note, we replaced her handset last year on the 11th of April going from palm pre to the shift because her pre's keyboard stopped working, she may be annually cursed..
*I failed and writing failed...
Here's the PG06IMG.zip ruu. Just put it on the root of your sd and boot into bootloader. This is the 2.2 ruu http://db.tt/l36imqH1
