hi guys
i just bought a samsung galaxy s, it has been rooted and unlocked, however it will not pick up signal rom my telstra simcard, it has, miui android, and superuser on it, i have no idea what these things are or how to fix it so if someone could help it wood be greatly appreciated
Possibly wrong modem for your carrier.
Not sure what is needed for telstra maybe someone else can tell you more.
You could read on how to flash roms and try roms with different modems, testing if one of them works.
If you are unsure, better wait for some more answers.
Good Evening. I am using a Sprint branded Samsung Nexus S SPH-D720 on the Boost Mobile Network and have the 2.3.7 version of Android currently installed. I am new to these forums, and am looking to upgrade the current Operating System on the phone to the new Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.? version. Which is the best, newest, WORKING version that I should upgrade to as of today? Remember I am new, and NOT familiar with the flashing process on cellphones. Is there a guide I can use to help walk me through the process, and to backup the current version in case I make a mistake somewhere along the way - so that I can restore it? Someone please help. Thank you VERY MUCH!!!!

First of all you should consider if you want to unlock and root you phone. For most Roms you need to unlock the phone (which can be undone later) and the roms come with root access (which, under some circumstances can void your warranty).
Maybe you could just use the official ICS update, with that you don't really need to bother with flashing etc. if you don't want to.
Otherwise, you'll find lots of different roms in here (mainly in the android development forum) and also lots of guides how to do certain things.
Just look around, I'm sure you'll find most of the guides / answers you are looking for. If not, you sure are welcome to ask
just don't forget that you have to set your APN back to boost whenever you flash a ROM for your mms to work.
If you need help with flashing, send me a PM and I'll do what I can to help

Hi all in this thread,
I have a nexus s 4g runninn 4.04 and Im wondering how did you get on the boost network? Please tell me or link me to any threads.
Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me.
I am wanting to update my phone because it is still 2.1. The only problem is it's rooted.
I did not root it, but whoever did it completely changed the rom. I talked to the guy at the phone store today and he said the only way I can update it is if I reinstall the original rom. I do not know where to get a good version of the stock rom. So help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
I know just enough about custom ROMs to make me dangerous. Enough rope to hang myself, if you will.
I rooted my Samsung S3 (Rogers) SGH-i747 from 4.1.2 stock rom, then went to Quantum custom rom which is fantastic. However, with the S5 around the corner and 4.4 kitkat inching towards the S3, I'll be giving this phone to my wife and want it back to stock with OTA updates. (a counter reset would be awesome but only a bonus) I'm using the bootloader I747MVLUEMK5.
Is it safe to flash a stock 4.3 OTA rom from here and if so, how do I go about doing it?
Thanks in advance
anyone else?

Although I appreciate the quick reply, it'd be nice to hear from others as well, perhaps with a bit more experience than 3 posts and a March join date.
Still looking for more input. Your help is appreciated
Hi, I recently damaged my S4 and decided to upgrade to the S6, so far I love the phone, got it new for $250
However since it's with straight talk in not one of the more common models and I can't really seem to find any information on it, I'm mostly hoping to find a way to root it, a custom recovery would be nice but I certainly don't need it
Has anyone had any experience with this device?
Or could someone maybe point me in the right direction?
Device: Galaxy S6 (Straight Talk)
Model: SM-S907VL
Baseband: S907VLUDU1APG8 (idk if that's important lol)
Android: 6.0.1
I appreciate any help that you guys might be able to give
I am looking for the same!
Would like to root and install CM.
Samsung S6 SM-907VL
I too got the "Black Friday" deal with this phone. It is Straight Talk and is a nice phone. I emailed a popular rooting developer and they have a list a mile long with phones their app will root. But it will not root this model. If someone finds an app that will root, please post.
Looking to root this model too. Could you flash a rom from one that uses the same board and chip set? Essentially turning it from a straight talk phone to Verizon , sprint, or at&t then proceed to root from there? Might be a noob question but I been wondering if it would work
Root

You can not do that. Unless you want to brick your phone. I am searching now, will let you know if I come up with anything!

Well hopefully we can hear back soon, I've still had pretty much no luck with this model, seems it's too little know for anything custom yet
Has anyone tried KingRoot?
I've tried Kingroot a few times now, the device is not supported unfortunately
Need root and 7.0 rom!
Seriously been looking for root since I got this phone. Is anyone even working on a root for it? Would the root for sm-s903vl work for the sm-s907vl or would it brick it? At this point I don't even care if I trip Knox. I just want ROOT!!
Fruitless searching for method to root sm-s907VL S6
Has anyone found anywhere that has information about rooting this model or atleast maybe the news that someone is working on it?! I have searched and searched and tried several different methods but nothing has worked yet. I really like this phone so far but I really gotta have my customization fix for it. Thank you to anyone who can give me some hope and of course if I find anything I'll post it here.
Thanks
I don't suppose anyone has had any luck with this device?
I'm having trouble finding stock firmware as well, I was thinking I might try a couple methods for different models but that's a little foolish without a way back to stock...
As a side note, don't buy straight talk phones, nothing seems to exist for them xD
You can get the stock software at www.firmware.gem-flash.com... I've used their copy personally and had no problems..
Device: Galaxy S6 (Straight Talk)
Model: SM-S907VL
I have the same issue and have tried several root tools and none have worked yet. Maybe some devs will get it working for one of them soon.
I have tried everything. If there is somebody smart enough to root the galaxy s6 s907vludu through straightalk please let me know. I have been searching for months. If anybody can find something for this unrootable phone please let me know.
I have model s906l it's an early sts6 and Im currently running s907vl firmware. I think the s906l can be rooted but it's running Android 5.02. My point being if you really want root maybe you can flash the s906l firmware using oden. Update nope I was able to flash up but cant flash back down. Stuck on mm without root for now.

I don't think you can downgrade an OS. Bootloaders would normally not allow it.
I tried flashing the 5.0.2 SM-S906L rom on the SM-S907VL through Odin and it gives a secure boot check fail.

I am having the same issue, I have the S6 SM-S907VL as well, I am very pleased with the phone itself as well as the cell carriers service but not having any developers hacks & mods or stock firmware or rooting methods for it is really frustrating

I have the same model also I wish now that never seen it. I've had an LG Stylo 3, and Motorola phone all of which I could easily download a ROM from here and easily customize the phone. This phone has proven impossible.

Any new updates on a possible root and custom rom for the SM-S907VL? Starting to look like we're out of luck :/
