The Samsung Admire (SCH-720R)(Metro PCS) community is in desperate need of CWM, Custom Kernel and ROM for this great phone. We need any willing developer to pitch in on this. I know nothing about code, but I am willing to test new projects.
We were able to obtain root which allowed us to remove bloatware from the hpone allowing it to run smoother. But we all know that it is not enough to have this phone running to its maximum potential.
If you are interested and willing to help us out, please feel free to contact me through here or by sending me a PM.
Thank you in advance for all your work and dedication.
Have you contacted Koush via email or twitter yet?

This is a great chance to get one. Make it easier on yourself to contact him, don't make him go through more trouble for him to help you... See what I'm getting at?
Ok, I just sent Koush a PM. Hopefully we can get this done. Thank you!
im not sure if Koush is going to help, im pretty sure all he does is add a version of CWM into Rom Manager
krylon didnt get CWM from koush he sent it to him
could be wrong though

insurance from what company? if tmobile, it is the biggest fraud I have seen. They will give a new battery for free, but if the phone is damaged, they will charge you for a contract price phone without the contract, so instead of 600 bucks, 200 bucks. Also, they will send it in to be verified "damaged". If they can repair it, you will get your old phone back.

That's why you report it missing, the deductible is $130 on sgs4g and you can do that twice in a twelve month period, so Tmobile is not always bad

Maybe the Samsung Admire community can raise a fund for some developers. The SGS4G forum did it twice for Whitehawkx and RaverX3X. They've turned out really successful too.
Just throwing out a suggestion. *shrug*

It doesn't seem like there is one. :/ I just tried searching for it.
Maybe the people who have it could keep a look out when it comes up.
The model number is SCH-r720, in case if anyone's interested.
I'm surprised no one has contacted me....
well, I will need a test phone. Much like I did with the SGS4G. The SK4G was an easy build due to its configuration.
Luckyduck is the person who sent me the test phone to begin with. I had CWM booting for the phone the day after I got it. Just needed to be tweaked for the correct config which is what took so long.
Just let me know.

Hey, you guys! I've been stalking these forums for a long time and now I have a problem where I will need your help. Now, before I get slammed for it, I've searched these and other forums for what I need, I've Googled for hours and hours on end, I've emailed people, and I still can't find a fix to my problem. OK, enough complaining, here is my problem: I bought a Nexus S 4G a few months ago for only $120. I planned on getting it flashed to MetroPCS through their MetroFlash program. I went to their corporate store, and they said they couldn't flash my phone for legal reasons, but they directed me to a man who could flash my phone. I go to him, and he wants $150 to flash it, I say hell no and decide to do it myself. I'm regretting my decision now because ( A.) CDMA Workshop is hard as hell to learn ( B.) There is almost no support out there for this phone.
Anyways, I want to know, has anyone been successful in flashing their NS4G to MetroPCS at home? If you have, please enlighten me! I've been brain-****ting myself to make this work. Right now I'm stuck at the part where I write the ESN. I can read ESN, but when I try to write it, it says "Failed.. ESN has not been changed." I can read/write everything else, except for ESN. I have unlocked it through the SPC and the Internal Security Password. Another issue I'm having is that when I try to read the memory, it gives me an error message saying, "Process is stopped. Phone does not answer" "Process is stopped at: 0000:1000"
This process is too hard, and I call on the great minds of XDA to help me out! Please, all and any information will help! I will love you forever! Thank you in advance!
Edit: I'm using CDMA Workshop 3.8 Trial Version by the way!
Edit: I forgot to mention, everything in this thread is hypothetical and for educational purposes only.
For legal reasons xda forbids on esn hacks. I don't know where you would get help on this but post it if you find something.
Did you search youtube?
Why do you need to change the ESN? That's illegal anyway.
You can follow the Cricket instructions over at howardforums.

I need it to transfer the ESN from my MetroPCS dumbphone to my Sprint Nexus S 4G. I'm trying to get the NS4G to work on Metro. Also, can you please link me to or help me find those instructions? The search function over there is weak and I can't find anyone who has information on flashing a NS4G. Thank you so much for guiding me in the right direction though!

I agree, the basic process is universal but right now I can't find help for my issue, and even in forums for phones other than the NS4G, I can't find anyone experiencing the same problem. I could use any and all the information I can get right now, because the NS4G doesn't have any readily available simple tutorials for it to be flashed to MetroPCS. There are tutorials for Boost, Cricket, and PagePlus, and I have tried following those, but run into problems with those as well. I'm at a dead end and need help
You don't suppose to change your ESN. You call your carrier and Activate the ESN on your carrier, all you really need to do is load Metro PCS prl.

My friend has an EVO flashed to MetroPCS. I thought it was neat. There is also a thread where someone went to craigslist to find a person to flash an Epic 4g. You may find something there. Keep us updated, please. And if you figure it out for yourself, more power to ya
i'm looking to do the same thing but not to MetroPCS... i have another carrier i would like to flash to but it's a new carrier and there's NO INFO online for flashing to them... and they're online so i can't go to their store to flash this... what info would i need to get this ball rolling??
Just pay to have it done by someone who knows what they're doing. I got my NS4G flashed for $40 including 1st month of service.

Lol I had a forum member help me out with this almost step by step to the point where he helped me get everything working except data,, but I had to eventually go to a guy from Craigslist to get data working. I wish I could give him credit but he wants to remain anonymous. You know who you are! Anyways, I feel terrible for not keeping you guys updated I'd like to make it up to you guys by helping you guys flash your phones or anything related to phone flashing:thumbup:

Hello everyone, I'm Indirect and while most of you have no idea who I am, I was politely asked to come help you all out for development towards downgrade / s-off on your devices. Now, as much as I would LOVE to help, I can only do so much without the actual device. I know this sounds like mooching, annoying, etc that some other "developers" do to try and gain attention but I'm sure you can see that I've made progress in just a few short hours as you can see here So I would like to now ask the community I'm trying to help if they would be willing to help me out as well and have my job be just a bit easier. I own multiple devices that I work on (Evo View 4G tablet, Nook Tablet, Nexus S 4G) and I develop for the evo shift when I can get around to it, but since I am not 18 and unemployed, I can't really go out and just throw down cash for a mytouch. Developing is essentially my career, balance that with school and my life gets hectic. So, if you read on, you will see how much I'm working towards.
What I need vs What I have:
Bought a device and it had a board failure within 2 hours... -- edit: RMA'd this one
New device, killed that one and since it has a void sticker broken and I'd rather not send it to HTC for moral reasons, I want to have it JTAG'd.
Well guys. I bricked 2 MT4GS while helping test s-off. Looks like I need to RMA one and JTAG the other. What do I need? Well, it cost 40$ + shipping. I can eat the shipping costs, but I can't crap out 40$. .__. So, any help is appreciated. OP has been updated with this post as well as a total amount vs what I need.
Click to expand...

What I need vs what I have for JTAG:
10$ / 60$
^ Donate button
Edit: Switched links. Found a cheaper one for 220~
This is the device that I am wanting to buy because it's the cheapest one on ebay, has free shipping, and available for buy it now. So if you want to help, just click the donate button and I'll save up for it. I would really prefer to get this thing bought as soon as possible so I can get cracking on that bootloader.
hi, it's nice to see someone giving our device some attention
btw, i have a side question: do you have kernel dev experience too?

I know some stuff about the kernel, but not atm enough to get a custom kernel up and running. Also guys, I seriously only have 1$ to my name, pretty sure it won't be enough. Lol.
This would be fantastic - I was working with this character last night in IRC and he's got the enthusiasm necessary backed up by the knowledge we need to get in our corner of XDA.
People are complaining from time to time about the anemic development here in the MT4GS forums, well, here is a way of increasing that dev.
If people aren't interested or able in picking up the torch themselves to get involved in development, then helping someone like this get a device in their hands will help us all out.
Normally i'm not such a fan of this but this is the real deal - we get a device in his hands and we WILL see more dev around here.
Look at the progress he's already helped us make towards the S-OFF issue - we got past getting the misc.version put in place and unraveled another layer of the issue, now we are stuck on hboot being our block.
Not bad for someone without a physical device in their hands, eh? Imagine what he could help us with not having to work proxy through one of us...

Anyone know what the Verizon developer edition is even worth these days? Can't find any on swappa or eBay. Seems like this is the last unlocked Samsung phone that Verizon released. Before I sell mine, I just want to know what I could get for it.

I know it's a late reply but they seemed to be fetching around $250 USD when I was looking a month ago. I cannot remember the model now but on an actual developer phone under the battery the model number is different so make sure you put that full model number in the title of your listing on whatever site you use.
I just threw mine up on eBay with a best offer option since I really have no idea what it's worth. I'm gonna let it sit there until I get what I feel is a reasonable price.

Dude, we really need your device for development right now. Some devs are close to unlocking the bootloader. Use this thread to generate a dump. Then upload the files to a public place. Please! All we need is the tar file with aboot.mbn.

You think dumping would negatively affect your phone? You really don't get it, you selfish tosser. Welcome to blocksville...
