Hi all,
Okay as you have noticed I'm rather new here and still reading some of the posts on rooting and installing ROMs but basically what I'm trying to achieve here is to remove a Carrier logo from the phone (Galaxy W I8150T) (Vodafone) Phone is unlocked and I wanted to give it to me dear ole Ma and she is on a different carrier.
To be honest not really into rooting it I was just looking for an easy way to re install a stock gingerbread rom minus the stupid logo's.
As I'm in Australia would the ROM's here be ok ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654643
My phone says Ver 2.3.6 I8150TDULM1 .... if any devs want this rom let me know ...not sure how to copy it but am happy to give it a go and transfer it if required.
Basically just wanted everything to work for her like radio etc if she wanted to use it .... so maybe when I get a few more clues I can try things like rooting phones ( that just sounds wrong) anyway help a noob out please.
hey i have the T version as well id recommend getting "cyanogen mod 9" if you want to get rid of the Vodafone branding as i did. it will also be running ice cream sandwich. it is completely stable and has no carrier branding although is is a bit more complected. you could also get jelly bean but is unstable and so i wouldent recomend it for your mum to get cyanogen mod 9 go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576874

Hi all be nice its my first time..
i would like to know how to tell if my phone is branded (tmobile) there is no web n walk icon etc. so might need gold card.
also if i was to root my dhd with the upcoming ota release of 2.3 is it worth doing for custom roms.
what is the difference between ota rom and custom. i ask this because if the custom roms are all good then should i ignore the stock rom updates. and just use rooted.
i do like the stock rom but ive done the update at xmas and need to roll back...
ive just rooted my first android tablet, which was a risk because i wasnt sure what machine it was.. but its all good.. so doing the root shouldnt be a problem.
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.
I have a rooted HTC Amaze with s-on and unlocked bootloader. Yesterday I tried to flash Android Revolution so I can have an ICS rom. I couldn't use my phone for almost an entire day until I finally figured out how to get back onto bulletless around 2am.
I want to upgrade to ICS but I have no clue what to do, I have read many many threads about what to do but nothing is really clear to me.
I might be asking something really obvious to some people but I am eff'd if I can't use my phone and I just need a little help from someone who can tell exactly what to do, thanks everyone.
HTC AMAZE
Originally Telus, unlocked for WIND now.
version 2.3.4
Bulletless V2.4.1
Sense 3.0
no help????
The other day I let the Samsung Company lead me when they said there was an update for my phone. Thinking that I would enjoy the lovely 4.0 ICS as a change from the Nice 2.3.6 GB. I let Samsung talk me into flashing my alltel phone. Low and behold they gave me a USC flash to replace my current Alltel network. This is the first time doing something this drastic to my cellphone and now I don't have any data communication on my phone. Does anyone know where I can find an alltel gingerbread flash for the Galaxy S2 SCH-R760. I've searched (what I feel as) Everywhere and can't find anything. My phone is only 2-3 months old so I would prefer not to root it.

I am trying to root.. I also have Alltel Samsung Galaxy S II 4.52 inch Model SCH-R760.. It's also running stock Gingerbread 2.3.6, and since there won't be any OTA Official updates for this particular model, I am going to try to root and update to ICS or Jellybean.. I have looked at several forums, and I have never root before.. Yep I'm a NOB.. Can anyone help me, who has this device and successfully rooted..
Of course I would rather not root, but to the best of my knowledge, it's the only way I will be able to get ICS or Jellybean..

Please help: Newbie with T-Mobiles Galaxy S3 SGH-T999L Newest build
Please forgive me if I've over looked any other post about this. I am definitely, a complete infant when it come to phones. I did manage to root a Motorola Atrix 2 (MB865) which I paid to have unlocked from AT&T. I never did anything to the phone other than root it; didn't know what to do after that. I did install Titanium Backup, Superuser, and froze some apps but that's it.
I now have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 Lte SGH-T999L with Android Version 4.3; Baseband Version: T999LUVUBNF4;
Build Number: JSS15J.T999LUVUBNF4.
I would love to root this phone, install mods, kernels,etc. but the main thing I'm worried about first is removing bloatware and apps that I don't use but I cant find anything recent that shows how to root, remove bloatware,etc.on a Galaxy S3 Lte with this newer Build Number.
Please, if there is anyone that can point me in the right direction, give me a step-by-step.....I don't know how to downgrade a phone to stock (whatever that means,maybe the way the phone came out of the box???) I want to learn badly and I know every phone is different but I can't afford to mess up the only two phones I have; especially the Galaxy S3 LTE. I would greatly appreciate ANY HELP just remember, I don't know much of anything at all. I can take and read directions...might have to read them more than once but what the hell.
