I recently found a Droid 2 outside my house. Like a good citizen I took it to verizon and they said it was reported missing but they let me keep it.
Currently I use the LG Optimus V on VM and was just curious to see if it is possible to get help making the Droid 2 work for VM. I have done about a weeks worth of research and a few failed attempts myself without much luck, and I hear a lot of different answers on what's possible...any help?
It is possible, but extremely hard, only a very experienced hacker could do it. So hard that most people consider it impossible.
Hit that thank button if I helped!
I take it that's why no one has posted any useful tutorials for this kind of thing...is there anyone out there willing to help me out, cuz my optimus is starting to act weird even after a couple factory resets
There is someone that may help, he put the Evo on Verizon.

you flashed a CM7 kernel on a Touchwiz rom....
what did you expect to happen?
first of all, turn off the phone
secondly, go READ what the F you are doing. getting into recovery is basic knowledge and involves 3 fingers..... you need to figure out how to do the rest.

this site does not exist for support.
let me repeat that.
THIS SITE DOES NOT EXIST FOR SUPPORT.
you are expected to help yourself around here. watch the video that you are presented with when you sign up.
dont get pissed off at me because you didnt want to do your research and understand what you were doing to your phone. you will get zero sympathy like that.
drop the f'n attitude and teach yourself a thing or 2....
Thanks again for your help. Appreciate it.

Wow rom manager i guess is dangerous
If people have an issue, and dont know how to get in to recovery. And your very brave flashing anything with out knowing how to get into recovery. Also cm7 kernel is for cm7. Be more careful in the futre or you will be bricked. You lucky this time. Also you may need to odin the stock tar at this point. But flashing a rom again after a data/cache wipe is worth a try. Also you should not nor should anyone be flashing anything. With out throughly reading and understanding what your about to do. It is also adviseable to have knowledge of the basics.

calm down. he was just asking for a little help... instead of *****ing at him why not help him out. everyone needs to start somewhere, so he messed up his first time. live and learn.
and OP. glad you got it working read into some more tutorials before you try again.
. Need to just read and understand what your doing before you attempt these things. Is it reallt that difficult to do a little research. Before possibly breaking your phone. And anyone will tell you that same thing. Because thats how we all learned read before hand. Lots of people are willing to help but not if your just going to be to lazy to research
I asked on two separate threads and no one answered me. I go on XDA and other forums over 5 times a day. I dont do coding or development for a living.. just wanted better battery life out of my phone. People are jumping to conclusions that I didn't do research. I did, I asked questions, got fed up & thought, let me just try this.

yep. im a tough guy.
why dont you learn a little bit about me before you go and make assumptions like that?
shockingly, i help out a lot, but i like this little thing called 'brutal honesty'. sometimes lazy people need a taste of it every so often. instead of spoonfeeding, it pisses them off enough to teach themselves something or make sure they comprehend what they are doing.
hate it or not, this site is NOT a support site. that has been stated time and time again....its nothing new.
its time to shut up or nut up. plain and simple.
keep calling me names and trying to demean me. it wont work.
Glad you got it working, deff beware next time. Read up on kernels n such any questions we'll be glad to help. I remember when I was brand new to Android period and got a lot of great help and advice from the great community

calm down.
he learned from his mistake. look at that. he wont do it again.
he would of still learned without you chomping on his a**.
and as much as you say its not a support site. its a site for flashing, with flashing people are always going to run into problems, and always gonna need help. so no, it isnt a support site. but yes, it is a site where friendly people can help someone who's having a problem. instead of calling someone out for their mistake, why not help them fix it then direct them to tools so that they dont make the mistake again, we're all human. so maybe he just got his phone and was excited to flash? or was fustrated with his battery life, as he said in a previous post. and he looked up instructions and didnt understand. but this site not being "a support site", he couldnt get help, so he took it into his own hands. i would of done the same thing. just because you know how to do something doesnt mean you get to cuss someone else out for not knowing how.
total noob and i need help.... here is my problem... I unlocked my new infuse and then rooted the phone. everything was fine fo several hours and all of the sudden it started vibrating and would reset with out turning all the way off. the android drop screen does not function. everytime you try to pull it down it starts the above issue. if a text comes thru it does it again. i did a factory reset and this didnt help. i still have superuser on the phone but cant seem to get phone to function it has power and works to an extent. you can tap apps and go thru most of the phone but it will reset and go back to main screen and vibrate and start process all over.... any ideas. i am a noob and not very technical, prob why my phone is f'ed up right now. using my samsung captivate for now. please help the new guy. i looked for threads with similar issues but found nothing with search bar. thanks ahead of time
I'm not familiar with unlocking...i do know if I'm not mistake you have to root first then unlock....but that should not effect your phone...but phones are so different....even though we all have the same model....
I would reload stock and re root....then re unlock....ate you runnning stock or custom rom?

Why yes glad you asked...check my signature...for the iset page....
You will find a **** ton of info....since your somewhat new...do a lil reading....ok ....do a lot...
Look for the one click methods by qkster....although the new odin links are great also....your choice....
And any questions the op for those threads can provide you with great help and you can pm me also...
And don't forget to thank the op dev that provided you with what you need...kk
In that case I like to suggest you to unbrick the cellphone (restore again to FROYO) and test the cellphone... If you do it, you will loose the root, however the unlock will remains
You can re-root the cellphone later... the issue could be also being caused by an app that you had installed
*** If your cellphone is from AT&T you can use the GTG's Ultimate Unbrick tool, to go back to FROYO
Remember that you must have ODIN to unbrick the cellphone..
Some helpfull links:
Complete Stock (FOR ROGERS USERS ONLY)
GTG's Ultimate Unbrick - Return to stock - For AT&T
thanks!!!
Thanks for the info bigjoe2675 & dantespec...well I feel real stupid now... I looked over all that info and its way above my head. is there anyone I can send my phone to that does this type of work and is trustworthy enough not to steal my phone? i have already trashed it once I dont want a $230 paper weight. I also have a Sprint galaxy s2 epic i would like to have flashed to verizon. i have no clue what I am doing and willing to pay to fix my two phones. mine and the ol ball and chains.

If you can not figure out how to go back to stock, then i know mobiletechvideos. They got my old infuse running again when the usb port got borked. If you need a link ask me, idk were the link is lol. Trust me though, it worked well. Only thing is it costs money. Better off to learn how to do it unless if hardware is actually broken, not software.
Btw you may want to learn how to unbrick and learn your basics before you attempt at doing something like this again. Just making a very logical suggestion.
For sure check out the Odin videos... I have a feeling that they are going to come in handy a few times..
Everyone has to start somewhere and we all had to learn, I was really overwhelmed when I first started looking into it, but then it was like "oh! That's it?"
Most people here are super helpful (I'm not... I'm a n00b) but don't be mailing your phones to someone you don't know or anything like that... you're begging for someone to rob ya..
Just take it slow and read, read, read... when you have read enough to have a handle on it.. read some more!

Hey guys, I'm gonna be getting the Sensation in about 2 weeks and I would really like to help out development for the Sidekick 4G in some way. Since I don't have much knowledge in programming, I am willing to help out with giving a Sidekick to the devs here. I just got a replacement for my warranty so the phone is pretty much like new and I won't be using it at all. I don't know how much this phone goes on ebay, and I'm not sure if this is already been taking care of, but I'd be willing to help out.
Please let me know.

I'm looking for a loaner. See this post.
But, if any other devs think they can get CM7 or CM9 on SK4G better then I can, I yield to them.
Or if you are more interested in getting money for the phone, it's probably better you get money.
EDIT: Also, I'm hanging out on freenode on #teamacid and #sk4g in case anyone wants to chat.
Directions for #teamacid are here.
I am trying to help a friend of mine get his verizon s3 to work on cricket. I have a tmibile s3 that is rooted with trw recovery so Im not a noob but I have never encountered something like this before. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would certainly appreciate it and I will be sure to hit the thanks or buy your a beer if you have donation set up. You guys have got me through so much crap in the past I hope I can find some help here tonight. I have searched the web but I keep getting conflicting stories so I figured I should just ask my brothers here for the help. again. I really appreciate any input you may have. Thanks
Don't remember seeing a thread on here for it. I would say it might could be done but not high priority and not much information.

Theres tons more to it then this. This is just basic. If u have any questions about any of this info ask please. This is a mess
submit error report to samsung members app > get help > error report . then title it something like "I've been hacked" or "suspected hacking"
there is a separate team that handles hacking issues at samsung. Hope you get your $ back (this part you'll have to talk to your bank and ask for help for suspected theft/hack/fraud)
Yeah, I tried that on advice from a co worker. Samsung said I was pretty much screwed on return cause it was a At&t problem. So At&t trouble shot, but did no good. Is there no way to just find out what happened an when? I appreciate you commenting. Please anymore advice will be greatly appreciated.

did you call samsung or did you report error as I suggested? calling them only gets you to Customer Service agent that works off of scripts.
Reporting error gets it to the engineers who look through the logs and analyze device events.
If it is hacking then as noted before, the team that deals with hacking will help you out... otherwise samsung engineers should be able to identify what the potential cause of this is.
Similar with AT&T, unless the engineers have the device with them or is able to look into the software to analyze the events recorded... there's not a whole lot they can do.
If you've already submitted an issue ticket and that's the reply that you got back... then I don't know what else to tell you
Go to the police? You seem to have some answers already if you suspect sim cloning...

yea... that could be one option I suppose. As long as you don't mind making the 'friend' relationship awkward a.f. by bringing in the police. If they aren't that close in the frist place and you can manage to break ties with them, then sure... I'd go for it as well.

unlock as in root the phone or unlock as in release the phone from being locked to Tmobile? if the latter, then you just need to pay off the phone or wait a few months (depends on the TMobile rules on unlocking the phone) and ask for the phone to be unlocked.
