hello. i am new to the forum and after searching for a little, i have found no answer.
i have a Samsung galaxy 551... more specifically a GT-I5510L.
i live in Venezuela and use MOVISTAR as a carrier.
after i got the phone i started to tinker with it because it had some glitches.. mainly it was the disappearing act that the icons pulled on me that compelled me to flash a new ROM in it. I flashes a European ROM in it and now i have no 3G (I knew that would happen) but i made my peace with it and decided to go with it.
EDGE sucks balls here and i want to change back.
after some searching i found my phones original ROM in Check Fus and downloaded. i tried to load it via Odin and it seems go load properly... until it gets to the rebut point, it doesn't turn on the screen or seem to respond. i have since flashes the european rom on it again and it is working as it should. but i really want the 3G... so...
any ideas?? HELP

Bit annoyed to be told that *UMA will not work on my O3d because i dont have the firmware from orange (i got mine from Phone4U unbranded)
I have no reception at home.
If somebody has a copy of the Orange firmware with UMA please let me know i can provide upload space if needed,
If i am able to source UK Orange Firmware, would anybody mind helping me through the process of installing it and ripping a certain application out of it for me otherwise things are going to get messy but i dont mind to much either way as long as i can get it working.
I am new to android.
Used cooked rom's on the hermes, HD2 and Touch pro 2.
Many thanks to all in advance for taking the time to read my post.
*UMA is a service that Orange offer for letting people use wifi at home for phone signal.
**Yes i am scared ****less that i will brick my 4 day old phone regardless of history of using cooked roms etc etc ....
*bump
Thnx

Hiya
Many thanks for the link.
I had been to that thread and the firmware posted is a generic one for Europe.
Not Vendor specific.
Generic is
BIN_LGP920AT-00-V10d-EUR-XXX-JUL-08-2011+0
for OPTIMUS PORTUGAL, ORANGE AUSTRIA, ORANGE FRANCE, ORANGE ROMANIA, ORANGE UK, ORANGE SWISS is
BIN_LGP920AT-00-V10d-ORG-XXX-JUL-08-2011+0
Yeah
lol
this is awkward .....
Cheers
Maybe u can extract Orange rom and put specific .apk to your phone??
that is my plan but at the moment i have no idea what the APK is or what it is called.
i will try that first to see if it is horribly simple but i presume i will need to brand my phone :/
kind of a wierd request here isnt it How do i brand my phone mine is unlocked LOL
ok tried flashing the BIN_LGP920AT-00-V10d-ORG-XXX-JUL-08-2011+0.zip ROM
But it wouldnt install on my device using Clockwork.
No error log either so i dont know why.
I don't think you're supposed to flash using CWM. The download page says to see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490 for the proper procedure.
ahhh i thought that was how to unbrick the phone (had it open on another tab )
didn't realize that "was" the procedure to update phone
Anyway,
Back on UMA again after loads of other crap needed sorting.
Got the APK but like many others it just FC's and after see'ing others posts regarding the matter i am afraid i will be not continuing as it is beyond my level and im am moving home in 10 days
Hi all, proper random but i went out about a month ago now, got in a proper mess and randomly woke up with someones phone in my pocket, its a samsung galaxy s i9000, wasnt sure whether it was a mates or not so announced it on my facebook seeing if they would come forward, but no one has, so i must have found it, im not the type to steel, promise! i have an iphone 4 so ive taken it me being a complete w*nker and taking it from someone as an option. i was thinking may as well try and put it to use rather than just chucking it, its on a 3 network, but its not got sim lock, its phone locked, just asking for a password to get into it, ive spent an hour or so trying to find out if theres a way but havent yet come across a way, if there is one. Help would be appreciated
I have the same phone dude its simple,search threw here (in the i9000 section ,first you'll need to root it with Odin,after you have root go to market and download Samsung galaxy unlock and follow the steps and your done.
*very important once your rooted make a copy of your efs folder(contains your imei number)it can/will change depending on if you flash roms.*
Good luck

Okay, so first of all, yes, I am completely new to this. However I'm no idiot, I'm just more on the hardware side of computing. Anyways, I've searched the internet for well over twelve hours now trying to get a custom ROM (that I found here, Android Revolution HD 6.0) onto my Galaxy Note 2 (SCH-950). I live in the US and I have the 4G LTE version, N7105 I think... and I'm getting nowhere. I've downloaded the tool kit, Odin, probably reset my phone 40 times by now. No one else seems to be having this problem, at least not that I can find. So, really I just need like a direct instruction on how to root and flash a custom ROM onto this phone. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!
EDIT: (even though no ones responded yet) I tried a few different ROMs and it kept getting stuck at the "Samsung" screen. The final one I tried is Doedexed V1.2. It got to 20% and then restarted. It also looped up at "Samsung." So I flashed over a generic recovery backup I have for the SCH-950 and then suddenly everything looks different, as If Doedexed V1.2 were suddenly applied. Everything works fine... occasionally something is in a different language, but that's minor. I know it's still my voicemail lol. So... yeah... I could definitely use some info now lol
First off i want to thank you guys for all the help i've received for my various phones over the years, usually there is a thead for anything i need but i cant find anything on revol wireless.
I recently flashed my 2 S3's from verizon to revol(which i believe is like cricket?) my phone was rooted stock 4.1.1 vrblk3 my girl's phone was not rooted. my phone was done first, at revol the used houdinisoft to flash, passed first time no problems, make calls have internet and they put a houdinimms app on for picture msg. it didn't seem to work so i removed it but now mms doesn't seem like it wants to work most of the time, but my phone (mostly) works...
After using the service for a few days and seeing coverage was ok we decided to flash her phone went to the store and there was a different person there(big shock, I know)but she didnt really know what she was doing i suspect, anyway she tried and tried and kept getting fail after fail, called tech support after an hour and a half my daughter was restless and hungry and we had other errands to run so we left the phone and came back later. when we got back she said she got it, and just had to do a system update to get the internet working, COOL! well another hour goes bye and she gives up and says i should come back monday when the manager is there... i was just wondering, is there a better way to flash to a different provider? i have ODIN im comfortable flashing roms been doing that for years! i know I need a good PRL list, but short of that im stuck any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hi guys, I'm new here and in a fix. I'm with CSpire and to keep my current plan I had to find a used Galaxy S2 (Cspire has none) to replace my Galaxy S (slow 3g around Memphis).
Seller had all Cspire packaging,etc and said it was a company phone but when I get to Cspire they can't program it and show me the 'Mycricket' info in Settings. Call 611 and you get Cricket Customer Service so someone evidently flashed it to work with cricket at some point.
How much of a pain is it to try and get this phone back to Cspire so I use it? Only thing I was told by someone on craigslist (lol) is that I need to get the Cspire PRL for my 'new' phone and somehow d'load some software to flash it back to Cspire so I can get it activated but it seems like a lot of work, especially for a near 2 year old phone.
Any thoughts?
Thanks guys
Jeremy
Have you tried going to SamMobile website, and finding stock firmware for that device?
That's a good place to find STOCK Carrier specific firmware for Samsung devices.

Thanks, no but I'll see what I can dig up. The seller did finally mention that they 'lost' it for a month but didn't know what happened to it, and have offered to take it back so I told them to give me a day to look at it. The cheapest mint S2 phones are over $150 so it would be cool to fix this one since I only paid $90 for it.
I don't want to waste alot of time on this phone though. I've grown up building and overclocking computers but don't have any interest in doing that to the phone or spending hours learning how to get this phone back to the original carrier.
Thanks for the heads up on SamMobile though!
EDIT: I checked SM's firware listing and unfortunately mine isn't listed for the CSpire GS2. It's a SCH-R760.
I've seen newer white SG2 phones for around $150 that are supposed to be newer than the black models but I prefer black, and $90 lol. This stinks...
Ya.. when I saw your first post I did a quick google search to figure out that model.. and the SCH-R760 is what I found and didn't see it on SamMobile either. Tough Luck.
I've never heard of CSpire either, so I thought you might have better luck finding a stock rom.
BUT... doing another google search.. I found this.. give it a quick look.. hope it helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597686

Thanks, I looked it over which is a bit much for someone not used to hacking a phone lol. One question, is getting a stock rom the answer to getting the phone to work with the original carrier? BTW, C Spire used to be Cellular South, a large regional carrier around the mid-south (Memphis,TN/MS/AL,etc)
Thanks
One question I should have asked first... does the phone have the stock Recovery installed?
To boot into recovery on that phone (if you don't know already, not sure).
1. Power off the phone.
2. Press and HOLD: Volume UP + Home Button + Power (in that order, one after another, keeping all pressed)
3. When you see the Galaxy S2 Logo come up, you can let go of the Power button. Then when a recovery screen comes up, or a logo for a 3rd party Recovery comes up you can let go of the Volume and Home button.
If recovery is stock, you will see "Android system recovery <[X]e>" [X] just being number for recovery.
If recovery is modded you will probably either see TWRP recovery or CWM recovery come up.
If it's STOCK, and you have already backed up all your information you can try -> "wipe/data factory reset" which will still keep some data, but system will restore to it's original state.
