So I am upgrading my phone soon, but I'm wondering about my old one. I'd like to keep it around. It will no longer have CDMA access, but wifi will still work. Is there a way to disable (permanently?) the CDMA radio so it does not consume power and only the WIFI radio works?
Also, a paranoia note, what if I don't want the CDMA radio to work because I'm a freak and afraid "they" might remotely disable my phone, or yada yada yada...
Probably should ask this in Q&A.
I know in CM6 you can keep wi-fi on in Airplane mode, don't know if you are running that or not. Also, how are they going to remote disable a phone that's already not really running? That doesn't even make sense.
Wrong area posted AGAIN.

that is when you joined and you have misposted like 3 posts(and thats half of you posts since you have only done 6 posts)!!!!!
Please read the rules fully before posting. Use common since when it comes to posting. Like the rules say...'BEFORE YOU POST ASK YOURSELF WHAT AM I DEVELOPING".!!!
Sorry to be rude but this was a post that was completely unnecessary.
easiest way, is not disable the cdma entirely but put a stock rom or nfinite fxs rom on it, do ##3282# and change the min/mdn to random numbers (preferrable: 0000000 and 0000000 ) and wala, phone is no longer associated with your account and it cant be 'remotely' disabled
I will give that some thought and try it! I appreciate the response, unlike the other posters. I cannot wait until I get 100 or so posts under my belt so I can be a jerk to people as well!

Post count is not a factor. The OP clearly posted in the wrong area. This should be in Q&A.

Airplane mode is called that for a reason it disables all wireless communication INCLUDING WiFi for when, you guessed it, your on an Airplane so that it doesnt fux with the airplanes electronics! As far as them remotely disabling a disabled phone, that WONT happen, but just to calm the fears, thats how its done.
As far as the OP, you COULD flash that phone over to PagePlus and use it as a backup phone , I have a guide on howto do it
Well, you CAN use wifi once you are in the air, but I think its just SwitchPro that lets ya do that.

maybe so but by DEFAULT airplane disables ALL radio communication(s)
Yes, I am aware of that, just thought you could easily do both (which you can, but forgot you can't do it natively I guess).

Google it. Can't post warez on XDA.
Also, to the original poster. Keep both phones. That way you have a back up in case the new one fails or gets lost and you don't have to pay insurance. Assuming you're on Sprint, you get the Premier Customer upgrade every 12 months.

Actually that's what I tell myself to feel special. Are they just upgrading every Tom, **** and Harry under the sun?
awww c'mon guyz... wuz just being facetious...I guess my lame attempt @ some geek humor gets trumped by the nerd-rage i was trying to center the lil joke around. I know the developers of swype have repectfully asked xda-developers.com to remove the .apk and consider it warez. Just a thought though... the kind of harsh scrutiny our fellow in the OP was getting is exactly the reason Id like to give a special thank-you to the Unrevoked team for not making me go through the humiliation of smarter people that I'm coming to for advice flogging me publicly rather than politely steering me in the right direction.Ive learned alotta great stuff here, too. So can we all just get along?
HTC Supersonic: EVO4G Fully rooted

Looking fwd to CM6 when that all gets worked out and last but not least (lol)...
Frickin awesome splashscreen & bootanimation (thanx vboyz103 )
I have no idea why I would do this but people have told me multiple times to do it that it is essential for a rooted phone.
So far I know I can use different services?
I use Tmobile US so that means I can use Verizon?
Does that work for data too? I don't get data service very well in school but I know Verizon does.
So will that help me out?
I'm not being rude but what are you on about? Your post isn't very clear as to what information you require. Most of your post seems to be statements with question marks.
the hardware in the sensation is not compatible with verizon.. so no.

I assume you are referring to S-OFF and root as opposed to unlocking it so you can put different carrier SIMs in it (assuming compatibile network frequencies).
Flexibility to try different ROMs. (e.g. get rid or bloatware).
Opportunity to back up the phone (Nandroid).
Opportunity to back up the Applications and associated data (Titanium).
Make sure you don't have Carrier IQ on you phone.
....
....
not exactly haha
but you did answer me with one line of your post.
I have a perm root on my phone.

"quadband" is what I'm used to hearing it called
that just means I can use any sim card?

Does tethering work on this with the latest updates? That and dev unlock are my biggest requests since almost a year after buying it.
it has interop unlock which is the same as dev unlock. and tethering isnt supported but I will figure out to add it for you
I was able to downgrade my OSPL from v4.3 to v1.25 and successfully apply the HSPL. Unfortunately, when I tried to flash your ROM, I had no success. I let my phone sit at the white HTC boot screen for five minutes but it never did anything. I tried reflashing, but got the same result. I even tried using the task29 utility as described here and that still didn't work.

Guys, I wouldn't personally use a rom from someone I don't know (No offense OP, but you really look fresh on the forums. Test and use your own roms before you throw it into the wild for others. :/ ) in the cooking world until there is either test proof, a credible history on this forum, and at the very least a somewhat detailed changelist similar to what Ansar post in his roms.
You guys might want to try the DFT Freedom (Sprint) official rom that I got from mwang which works with Wifi Tethering and has a complete unlock.

That is a pretty good rule of thumb, but I have a spare HTC Arrive which I use for testing and my daughter uses as an over-glorified Zune. It's better that I trash my spare than someone else ruin their primary unit.

No worries there, it all comes down that it is your device, do what you wish.
But unlike what feels like in 06-08 when Windows Mobile was king, and usually people hacking their phones actually knew what they were getting themselves into. In the forums these days, I feel that only 5% of people here even know what they are really getting themselves into, and it will only creates more problems when amatures with good intentions but lack of experience make problems for a bunch of others.
Either way, if the rom ends up working, report back and tell us what may be different.
Hi I am working on fixing it the rom
@IM0001
I actully have cooked roms before the only reason that I listed it as untested is because my arrive i didnt do the hspl on as I am getting a replacement since my power button is kinda iffy. otherwise I would have tested it first but people were saying how they wanted a rom so I said well I might as well release it.
Thanks for your efforts, let us know when the ROM is fixed and thus usable.

So it's somehow custom given the complete unlock, right? Please indicate a link of the thread regarding this rom. thanks.
I want to start off with I am not a dev. I am merely a member of the community that wants to see progress forward toward more amazing ROMs for the Tbolt. The other thread about a new base got closed so I wanted to open this so that productive discussion could continue. I hope that the community can come together and continue to produce the quality ROMs that I've found here in the past. As I said, I'm not a dev but if there's a way for me to contribute please let me know.
Santos has put out many different great roms. Also heard ziggy has said that when the source is dropped he will make a new kernel. So that's good news. Not many devs are left as the phone is old and Santos is about the only one deving the new ics update. If the source drops might have to get another bolt to play with. I like what he did with the leaked update. Maybe once the source is released some of.the old.devs might wanna.tinker. and make a Rom for old time sakes.

From the files that I grabbed after doing the OTA I have a base OTA ROM working now, yeah me. I am going to debloat this thing now....I forgot what VZW's ICS looked like.
I am still having issues with it though, sometimes it just starts to lag a lot. As soon as I get passed the setup stuff I can check root and gets some logcat's to see what is going on.
---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------
fyi, Santod's RC6 is pretty good, it is Desensed and it is really fast. So far so good, might stick with this while I play with creating my own.

If anybody has questions about developing their own ROM based on the OTA, you can go ahead and ask me. My ROMs based off of the OTA are MacekMod Mecha Rebirth and Galaxy Clone (galaxy clone rebase is still in the works, dont think I have forgotten about ti )

I had headed over to your thread to download a fresh ROM for my old Thunderbolt (I've moved on, but I like keeping it up to date), but the thread is closed and the links removed. I had meant to grab it a week ago, but kept forgetting, and now it seems some drama has caused it to be removed.
So now, I see in the development section that there's barely anything modern for ICS besides that stock one that Santos has. And I'm definitely not going to register at yet another forum to access a couple extra ROM's.
Moral of the story is... I am definitely looking forward to seeing more than one solid ICS ROM here for the Thunderbolt

Well, those "couple" other roms I have, are actually 7 other roms aside from the 4 stock ones.
Of course nobody will force you to join the site or to use those roms.
It just seems to me anyway, that it may be a bit silly for someone who wants more ICS options, to not go where those options are, just because they don't want to join a FREE forum.
Anyhow, I wish you all the best on your hopes for more ICS roms for the Bolt coming here.

No need to get touchy, it's nothing against you... lol. The Thunderbolt is one of my old phones that I only use for media purposes, so it's not very high priority. If nothing happens here, I'm sure I'll eventually break down and head over there to grab one.
I'm just tired of registering at a bunch of different places just to grab a ROM, that's all. I pretty much stick to being registered here and at Rootzwiki these days, and I'll grab stuff from sites that don't require registration on rare occasion. Just a quirk of mine, that's all. No offense intended

Hey guys!
I am getting this weird error at boot logo-
"customerID error: contact dealer
Boot to suspend m/TCMD mode:dead:0000:00000000:000000cc" something like this.
It wasn't giving me any problems with kexec roms(This error was generated when I flashed a kexec rom). But when I FXZd back to ICS 4.0.4(due to some reason), it's giving me an illuminated screen nothing past that! Please help.
Edit- Did my homework and found out that it's the CID error? Also found the solution. You have to boot using BP tools. I love you XDA!! Again I'm gonna write steps here for noobs like me
1) Enter fast boot by pressing power+volume down
2) Press power button, then press power+volume up+volume down
3) navigate to bp tools and press volume up
Just realize, this does not fix the real issue, it just bypasses the check.
You most likely will have issues down the road with your provider.
The ONLY way to fix this is restore a backup of YOUR, CID image (each persons phone has a unique Customer ID).

Yes if that is who your network provider is, otherwise it is whoever gives you your service. This is sent to your provider with the IMEI when phone calls and data are requested. At some point your provider may stop allowing service from any phone that does not send back a valid CID.
No you can not put it back without a valid backup from YOUR phone, if you did not backup your phone, you may be screwed.

Yeah the A2 is super cheap here, and always has been. The thing is that this phone was released in way more than just the sea area. There is the US version, the SEARET/MEARET, the HK version, there were 2 euro versions, that somehow only released a very limited number of phones, it was like in Greece and the UK, and then they stopped shipping them after only 2 months of sales (only like a few hundred).
ALL versions except the MEARET/SEARET were locked down so tight that anything you tried to do to them would screw you. And yes everywhere but in India the CID does matter, so please read, as this has been posted many times, and your posting what you did does not make it a fact, but maybe only in your country/ phone version. Also the XDA site does not only cater to the India market, it is a world wide site, and like I said the A2 was released world wide.

Wow, what an ignorant little ****, you are.
There are 3 devs from India. Devesh, Ravikrang, and Turffe. ALL of the rest of the devs are from the US, and one is from Frankfurt, and even one from China.
alteredlikeness, Hashcode, lfaber06, lkrasner, rdavisct, timmytim, daavis, cogeary, myself, etc. are ALL from the US.
Wanggjhost is from China.
The thing is that devesh, is a great guy but he mostly ports ROMS from other phones, and does really do much "developing", so you can sort of throw him out, if you want to really count people who have actually done real development work on this phone.
So humm, sounds like there are so many developers from India on here (2), and I have not seen either one very recently, on here.
Just because there are a crapload of people, from India (right now) posting in the General and Q&A section asking the same questions without searching, over and over again does not make them devs.
It might help you, if you go back and read all over this forum so you know what has and has not been done. The answers to most of the questions have been answered so many times now, and I have given you a break since you just signed up on XDA a month ago, but as of this post that is done, as you insulted so many devs, who do this work all for free in their spare time, to better the phone and community, and you can not even show respect for those devs, and make statements so arrogantly when you do not have all the correct information, and were just too lazy to take a look at who your devs are, and where they are from.

And what I originally said is correct wherever, you live, and for, the OP's, OG issue, is not just an issue for those in India, and ALL of your responses never took that into account. So, that is why I said what I said! And that Is why I took offense, as your statement about ALL the devs here being from india is incorrect, and you need to think before making blanket statements like that! As it is offensive to a good majority of hard work by others from around the world.
I get that the second post you made:

Is just that, and not what I took offense to.
All I am trying to say is be careful what you say, as you are a bit of a "n00b" poster here, so read up on the history of this phone.
These are a few good posts, maybe a bit out of date, but you may get some insights from these, and gain a bit of understanding:

Whoa!
I never knew this was so serious! I mean it was mentioned in all OPs to back up CID, but I was ignorant and was like "Ah wth!! What could possibly go wrong??" But I know now what can.
ENJOYING TILL IT LASTS I WOULD SAY!
But I don't think that would cause any problems because it's not that strict here! LOL!
@darth_nihar, please learn to respect senior devs, not that I'm pointing or anything...just giving a heads up.
We cool??

You are lucky you live in an area where carriers are less strict about security like this. You will have to bypass thr issue with bmm on every boot and this will be a real pia. you may think about buying another a2 with a broken screen and exchange the innards with you screen ans case, then take a backup of the old and new, then try and do all the same rom installs and hacks again, and if you lose the CID, you can restore it since you made a backup with the new board/storage.
I know that seems like a lot of work, but it will make you whole and you can sell the broken phone so you are not out much money.
There is guide on how to replace the screen in the general section, that should get you everything you need to do this.
Good luck!

Sounds like a great idea! But I think I would rather buy a new phone down the road(nexus maybe). Because even used phones are overpriced here.
Lesson learnt..Pheww! Gotta start saving now

No it's cool. Just be careful what you post, and that people get your drift. Be glad it was me, and that was not really pissed, because I have had people banned for being complete pricks, not that you were. Others may not have been so gracious.
We are cool, though.
I would like to add that, though I am far from being a developer, I am also from the US. I live in Louisiana now, but I am originally from Texas, which if I remember correctly, Jim is too. If I am right about that then I can vouch for him that you did get off easy. There's a reason that the saying is " Don't mess with Texas ". We Texans are a no-nonsense group of people. Hahaha!
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

kk man wontt happen again .............:laugh:
jimbridgman said:
Wow, what an ignorant little ****, you are.
There are 3 devs from India. Devesh, Ravikrang, and Turffe. ALL of the rest of the devs are from the US, and one is from Frankfurt, and even one from China.
alteredlikeness, Hashcode, lfaber06, lkrasner, rdavisct, timmytim, daavis, cogeary, myself, etc. are ALL from the US.
Wanggjhost is from China.
The thing is that devesh, is a great guy but he mostly ports ROMS from other phones, and does really do much "developing", so you can sort of throw him out, if you want to really count people who have actually done real development work on this phone.
So humm, sounds like there are so many developers from India on here (2), and I have not seen either one very recently, on here.
Just because there are a crapload of people, from India (right now) posting in the General and Q&A section asking the same questions without searching, over and over again does not make them devs.

Ok now you seriously crossed your line.
* crapload of people, from India (right now)*
* so you can sort of throw him out*
Seriously? He has done way more than you ever did.
As for all the *devs* you mentioned "all from US" , only 2 of them do real development. Namely hash and altered. Rdavisct and daavis used to dev.. But that was long time ago.. So you can sort of throw out the rest (including and especially yourself). And you actually spoil their reputation. Considering how humble hash and altered are..
The one who actually brought a proper working aosp (including radio) based roms to this device was Wang. And I remember the way you posted in that thread.. All the skepticism.. The only thing you ever said before this was " I am working on ril" "discussing ril on XDA is not allowed"..
As for all that you boast about yourself, here is the truth. You are a big fake.. You have actually done no development for this device. The only thing was the Ubuntu on webtop hack. And I am not really sure how original it is..
The only things you say are
1. Some thing big is on the horizon/around the corner.
2. Give credit.
3. Cannot be done.
Here is one more thing. On the a2 you always said the bl is locked so you cannot do anything. I haven't seen you do anything for the s3.. That has an unlock able bl I guess..
"and I have not seen either one very recently, on here."
Really? I come here and post pretty much every day..
Oh and if there is something you are good at, that's starting flamewars. Since you no longer have the phone any more and posted your "goodbye" thread, here is a sincere request..
PLEASE LEAVE!
Nothing worthwhile has come from you.
Honestly, you are the reason this device's development was hampered.. Not the locked bl..
BTW, here are a few worthy things devesh has done.
1. Get hash, dtrail, altered and me in contact and hence get things moving. He is half the reason we have "official" cm today. It's not you.
2. He is the whole reason we have JBX. Dtrail1 doesn't own an a2..
And at the one who posted the other post, here is something you need to keep in mind.
There are Ppl from all over the world with different nationalities, gender, race, religion and everything else. So DONT POST ANYTHING ABOUT ANY OF THOSE MENTIONED.
P. S. And Ppl from any other nation, nothing personal. If I have hurt any of you in the above rant, my sincere apologies. I have respect for all nations.
Good bye.
