Hey guys first off I like to thank you all for doing what you do if it wasn't for you guys I'd be confused as hell. O just started phone hobbying and I need to flash a couple phones to cricket in order to sell them. Few questions.
What is the best unlocking software your all using to flash phones to other carriers?
Is software like cmsuite.c. Omw worth it?
Can you flash phones on a 32 bit netbook(just bought one)?
Do you need a cricket account to flash to cricket?

Flashing Skyrocket to T-Mobile

Ive heard that you can flash the Skyrocket to T-mobile, and would be able to access it's 4g capabilities. I was just wondering how this could be done. Or even how to flash the skyrocket so I could use it on tmobile. I would like to use this experiance to help get me started in the android world... I was IOS user on and off and just bought this phone but, I have not been able to use it bc its locked. Any thoughts or ideas, would be much apperciated.. I am a new android rooter and barely know anything so please excuse me for future reference.
Search try it

You have to pay to unlock the phone. Do some research in the development section on how to flash roms and custom recoveries. Youtube the crap out of rooting skyrocket. And to use 4g you have to have the right data plan and proper apn settings. The people here will help you but you have to tke the research initiative and show them your willing to learn. Or if you get too stumped pm me and ill try to help

[Q] What must I do to flash a skyrocket to tmobile

Im looking to flash my skyrocket, so I can use tmobile (with the 3g/4g capability and on ice cream sandwich if possible)...
What must I do for this to work? Steps would be so much apperciated.
I have tried to search and I did find some but, it was very confusing info.

Could someone help me on this thread, maybe translate what to do from this link? Good battery life is a must! but do I need to pay for an unlocking servicce or what? I am so lost. Thanks
First off there's no need to post another thread about this, the one you already created would have done fine(clutters up the forums ya know)
The thread you linked is telling you to flash a T-Mobile radio. You'll need to be carrier unlocked and rooted with cwm to accomplish this. The rest is all yours buddy.

Does anyone know which roms and forums on XDA work with this phone?
I would like to know too.

Need help with att one x, root recovery rom. Been out of game...

Hey guys and gals! My att one x is on the way. I trying to find out as much as i can, before it arrives, for development and custom rom usage on the new device.
I have been out of the forums since i sold my att note.
I know this is alot to ask for some, but...
Can someone please lead me in the right direction for rooting, recovery (cwm if possible), and rom.
My goal is to use a net 10 sim and unlimited plan with this device. This might/would require a carrier unlock code? I can get the code if i need it but id really just appreciate someone summing up these basic questions with basic links or knowledge of the processes. I feel my contributions to our xda forums warrant these inquiries.
Im sorry that i cannot take the time to read the entire att one x forum and subs. Im literally in constant overtime at work. If someone here has the knowledge and guidance, I would appreciate every bit of help.
Summary : Information needed for...
Root
Recovery
Rom
Misc. Information i need to know, including cross-platform rom compatibility (i. e. One X and att One X)
I want to thank you guys in advance because I know at the heart of XDA lies a caring and gifted community of talented people who feel good helping others.
I promise to run with the information and do as much research and reading as possible when time permits. I have done so with all of my devices and being a creature of habit, well...
Thanks again and please dont expect an immediate response of gratitude, personalized to individual replies, until this weekend when i can get back on here and start the one x root process.
Check out this thread, it's got links to pretty much everything you'll need:

What he said. Also i suggest twrp over CWM. It is touch based, plus it works with plenty of roms. You do want to make sure you are on a version where your phone can be rooted.
Good luck.

Is this an AT&T phone, as I suspect from your post? If so, I hope you can still return it.
There is no root method for AT&T One XL phones on 3.18, and there may not be one for months if ever.

This is very true. If the device is from AT&T and has the 3.18 Jellybean firmware, its can't be rooted. Although its possible there is some old stock at some stores with older firmwares. Anything but 3.18 can be rooted. I think someone posted on here just a couple weeks ago about getting a new phone from an AT&T store that had 1.73 (the version from when the phone was released!).
OP should check the firmware version in Settings, and go from there.

[Q] SGH-I467

I so want to update this device to Kit Kat 4.4.2. It is stuck trolling at 4.1.2. I am tired of waiting for ATT to get around to releasing an update (BLOATWEAR INCLUDED). Is there any other way to do it? I have heard that rooting would allow me to do it but I don't know the first thing about rooting and don't want to brick my tablet because I use it at work on a daily basis.
Any help much appreciated. Sorry in advance if this question has been asked/answered. Been hunting solutions all day and eyes are worn out.
In order to flash a rom, stock or custom you will have to root your tablet first. Try this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2430540 for tips on how to do it. There is always a certain risk involved in rooting/flashing so be sure to read about other users experience, before executing at own risk! Good Luck
