Has anyone had any luck rdt? I tried catalystcorp's method on several nightlies (yes I saw note for stock gb use only) but always end up in boot loop.
My work location has no available wifi and I get throttled every month.
Or has anyone found a way to repackage any system files so less data gets chewed up?
Thanks for your time!

If you had followed the thread as you say you would know there was a change at T-Mobile and noway around getting throttled. It is now done on the T-Mobile side instead of the phone.
Thanks for the snarky reply.
If you had read my post completely, I also asked if anyone found a way to repackage system files.
Like I said, my place of work has no available wifi and I rely HEAVILY on using carrier. Just trying to find any possible solution to make it month to month

Either break into T-Mobile or pay for a higher data cap. Nothing on your end can ever stop it, no matter what. The tracking is on TMO's end.

Which I was tellling him. People get upset if they don't hear what they want. OP you may set it to use 2g only to lower the flow coming in.

No way around it period. They track your IMEI.

I don't mean to start a riot here but does anyone know how to (or has the links to) put a Fascinate ROM on a Mesmerize device?
I know there are huge risks by trying this & if done incorrectly can lead to a headache. I'm a risk taker & want to have something new to play with & try. I googled around but all I can find is people referring to doing it but not what they did.
Also if you know how & don't want to post it publicly to avoid creating more trouble-makers a PM would be great too.
Thanks in advance for anyone that takes the chance of helping me.
I can help pm me I have everything you need to do this I have done this many times

How about the reverse? I've mesmerized my fascinate but have texting issues and only 1x data. I see it switch to 3g but never world when its in that mode. I gave uscc service. I can make and receive calls and receive texts. I've imported an apn.xml from my girls mesmerize that I flashed the froyo leak to. I've also used qpst to set my user and pass for data mimicking her during except using my number where applicable.Tia

Actually am using vzw modem, newest one from fascinate forum. The uscc modem doesnt work at all. Any recommendations?
Thats strange vzw and uscc modems both work on my mez 3g and all
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Ok so I just started flashing vzw modems to see if I could make any progress and managed to get my txting issue resolved with DI01 modem. Still just 1x inet, no 3g.
Mesmerbelly, I'm working with a fascinate here not a mesmerize, but noticed you said uve flashed both provider modems to your mez. Can you think of any reason y it wouldnt be a 2way process. I appreciate all your help.
I am not sure but I'd say it works on the mesmerize because uscc roams from them anyway. I doubt that vzw uses uscc's stuff. Not educated just guessing lol. Also uscc has always used different text stuff. Same way back on tp2 for me

PRL
You I've done the prl update. Had to use QPST to originally flash an older uscc prl just to get it on the uscc network. I then did a prl update to get the newest one. I'm stumped, still happy though cause I got a new phone for free and the only thing that doesnt work is 3g access. This whole procedure has allowed me to alter my uscc account to have a mesmerize, so in a few weeks i can do an insurance claim and get a real one and just sell this fascinate.
Lol thats funny but they will ask you to ship the old one back unless you say you lost it then they will put the imei number on a lost list and no one can use it so you cant sell it
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I was just going to say I lost it, then wait a while then "find" it and call and have it removed from the lost and stolen list. Since I was the original owner it shouldnt be a problem.
That may work not sure when out comes off the lost list of the insurance will want you to send it in tho good luck

Only if you get caught my friend, only if you get caught.
Anyone know if a lost G2X can be tracked down if T-Mobile Security had not been downloaded yet?
Not unless you have some other app like SeekDroid or Lookout installed. If you report the IMEI as stolen there technically may be a way for T-Mobile to track it but it's probably not worth their time/money, and I think the IMEI can be spoofed anyways.
Sorry
Thanks, I didn't even know about the T-mobile security and that I was eligible until I called this afternoon. What really sucks is I had a pretty good phone with the only issue being the wifi connection. I hope this next one doesn't blow.
You could try out Plan B from Android Market. I would post a link but I don't have enough posts yet to be allowed to do so.
Thanks for the rec, just reactivated the line and am going to try this in a couple of hours. Fingers crossed. Here's the link in case anyone else is interested:

In the future, download WheresMyDroid and make it a system app with Titanium.

I still recommend SeekDroid but to each their own.
Interesting that Plan B can be installed and activated remotely though...
A guy at my work sold me a droid x for 30$ and when I charged it, and turned it on, lookout kept sending me a text message saying it was broadcasting the gps location. Of course its only accurate up to 500 or something, so it could be difficult to pinpoint the theif. Knowing what I know, I could have rooted it, flashed cwm and a rom possibly faked the imei but im a nice guy lol. So I answered every call that came in until I found the owner, and got my 30$ back. Turns out the guy at my work stole it...

As long as the phone is on, which mine isn't. Either the battery died or someone was smart enough to turn it off or take out the sim card. Lesson learned.
No matter what i do, rom i flash, partition i wipe.... wallet force closes and does not work. i am using the nexus 4g. even if i unroot and roll back to 2.3.4 wipe everything multiple ways, accept ota updates just like i did before, wallet fails.
so ive rooted and unrooted before 2.3.7, took the ota and everything was dandy.
all i did was root a few days later and it was done. i am convinced there is some data on the nfc chip just like data was being saved on the gps when switching certain evo roms. Why would simply rooting the phone break wallet when sooo many people are running it rooted? almost wanna take it to sprint....
You need the ke1 radio for it to work on 2.3.7 without hacking it on there

suggestions anyone?
tried taking it to sprint but didnt have time to stick around and wait a few hours....
Same thing happened to me, I called google wallet support they blamed it on me unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom rom. Basically you're sol unless you can swap it out at sprint. as far as I know. Google isn't responding to this issue.

Also, make sure you're copying the 2.3.7 versions of:
com.android.nfc_extras.jar > system/framework
com.google.android.nfc_extras.xml > system/etc/permissions.
If you know how to sign APKs, make sure Wallet and Nfc have the same signature. If you don't know how, copy over Nfc as well to system/app and wipe cache either way.
Hope that works. Good luck.
Returned the phone to sprint overnight. Wow. The sales people and techs there are completely clueless. Oh well. After me schooling them on everything, they decided to give me a new phone. It will be shipped in a few days.

Probably refurbished. From what I understand these phone go through more tests than new phones and still look new. I'm fine with that. If the phone continues to fail (which I doubt) then I can get a new phone.
So I got a new phone from sprint. Interesting I had to set up a new Google prepaid card. Got another 10 bucks...

The key is to flash the wallet fix rite on top of the rom you flash. In the same recovery session. Works everytime.

Nope. Did not work for me. Mine was done no matter what I did.
Used Superoneclick rooted two of these Skyrockets Running ST two months ago.Ive kept the 2.3.5 that came with it,and just put on golauncher or spb shell 3d.Never been happier.Both phones speedtest between 3-8m,just perfect for a non LTE smaller city..Just couldnt be happier.
But the incidents in the last three days have turned my jubilation to a bleak grey,crushed existence.Im seeing red and i ran here.I pray to the xda gods for wisdom and patience.
Few days ago being the noob i am (few easy roots in 3 years) i decided to meddle with my precious skyrocket,and its spb shell..Was getting errors of various sorts trying to re-install apps i shouldve payed for.(from now on i vow to pay for each and every paid apk i install-im so done) Including spb-though i payed for it on my g account,it was on my girls phone with my gmail as well, which i paid for it but only to be on her phone not mine...
Long story short i went arount deleting caches im sure i shouldnt and possibly cwm stuff too..i have no idea what i deleted exactly,or remember, because im a noob and an idiot.
Everything works fine on the phone but the one thing that matters the most to me..the data..the internet is so slow...Speedtest used to be around 4m or 6m,now im lucky if its .1m Takes 5-15 minutes for a small market app to download..
I can send and receive pic messages,make phone calls etc etc...
But my speed is gone... I called straight talk and of course they told me they dont throttle,instead they would cut my phone right off if i had downloaded too much..
I even tried changing apns,i used my girls sim,and that didnt even do it..
So finally i unrooted after one factory restore... still crawling..
so i just did another factory restore,still crawling..
One thing i can say is that at&t was trying to OTA a huge update in the previous days...but it wasnt installing...Maybe it installed something?
HELP ME puh puh pleeez
One simple question. Can you get into download mode? If you so you can flash the phone back to stock. You can download the firmware 2.3.6 from www.sammobile.com Just do a search on sgh-i727 and it bring up the list. you just need to make an account to get the download. I would start over and start fresh.
Also you may want to think about what you have running, what all apps you have running in the background that could be stealing up some of the data.

Per the whole being a noobie and idiot thing,what technically is "download mode"?

thank you i will do this now brb
If you need more help, shoot me a pm and I will walk you through it.
ok well you asked if i could get into download mode... Which i just tried (for testing purposes-and without getting Odin etc etc)
it is saying DOWNLOADING-DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET....What do i do now?
the odin link is dead and am downloading the other stuff on my pc
You can just do a battery pull to get out of download mode and restart the phone.
Download odin from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17548951&postcount=1
it still says downloading after pulling battery...should i unplug usb?
yes, because you do not have all the files yet. But this is good to know and it should not be any problems getting you back to square one.
If you're on stock 2.3.5 just download the kj2 modem and reflash in cwm no need for Odin.

Sounds like your cell network went to doodoo is all. Didn't sound like you were messing with it bad enough to break anything.
so let me ask you all this question...
If in fact my cell company is throttling me, thats usually a month-long thing? or is it permanente????

That is what i am understanding too!
But there is no other explanation for my issues...
Like i said,me and my gf both have new skyrockets,both for two months.
both have ST sims,same apns settings..
Her sim and phone are fine..her sim in mine is slow
MY sim in HER phone is slow...
Did two factory restores and upgraded from 2.3.5 to ICS..Still nothing..
It can only be throttling or hardware...
Wifi is fine...
So... what is it? Hardware or Throttling..i dont know
I can tell you the posts over @ Howards forum (straight talk forum) are growing rapidly for throttling issues...
Beleieve me,i REALLY want to beleive ST doesnt throttle,i think they may have finally started tho....
This may be a stretch,
But is there a place on xda where i could download the correct apn settings for a straight talk sim in this skyrocket?
yes yes i know there are many places where i can go find the settings to manually put them in,but for various reasons, i would like the actual file to load in apn backup and restore app....
Anyone know where i could snag that?

Has anybody noticed any stability issues after rooting? I wasnt having any issues prior to rooting, but earlier today my phone randomly rebooted and started boot looping. I factory reset it and since then it keeps locking up and rebooting. Anybody else run into this problem?

I think there's no doubt this phone has some hardware issues. I've seen locking up and rebooting reported frequently across the forums. It seems to me problems similar to yours might be related to bad memory on the phone.
Has anyone tried to flash their H 810 PR phone back to their original AT&T version yet? If that doesn't work, people may need to break their phone in a way that the warranty center can't determine it's been tampered with. Perhaps returning our phones to the original state they were in before we had to use the KDZ will be enough.
I'm guessing the LG service centers are very overloaded given the number of problems we've seen. With the slow sales of the g4 I expect they're sending out new phones rather than trying to rework the broken ones.
I let phone just sit for a while. After rebooting itself 25-30 times it seemed to have settled down and it has been fine ever since. I reinstalled everything and now it is running fine, so hopefully I won't have anymore problems.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible. I read that the KDZ overwrites the bootloader too. I think you could flash and still recover with the KDZ though. There's a small chance that the H810b image I uploaded would work, but it's just a hunch I have.
I would test it myself but I really need a good working phone for the next few weeks, I'm holding off on pulling any more stunts like the one that got me here in the first place!

Yes, but after putting some more thought into it, I don't think it will work because of the difference in the partition table between the H810 and H810PR.

It seems most people who can't get to download mode anymore wiped their partition table or overwrote the boot partition. I don't know much about the different partitions yet so I can't give a concrete answer.
