Are Rooted Phone the Same ad Dev Phone?

I was reading this Article and for what I understand Dev phone can't see paid application and some non paid to, the I though how is that I can see all the applications if I have a rooted phone.
I thought that when you have a rooted phone it was basicaly the same as a DEV phone without the nice back cover.
Can you correct me here plz.
thanks...

A rooted G1 is not identical with an ADP1, which explains why you have access and people with ADP1's do not.
Ironically they're blocking the ADP1, which people have bought fair and square and haven't (necessarily) modified in any way, but if you're on a G1 that you have rooted (modified) you have full access to paid apps. Kind of unfair, but what are you gonna do.

If I'm not mistaken the Dev phones come sim unlocked. True? Also is the physical body which is by appearance slightly different in color with a design on the back whereas the standard G1 just have the "Google" printed on them.

Yes, the ADP1 is sim-unlocked as well, and the back design is unique.
Here's a pic of the back of my ADP1...

Keep in mind that you can flash the ADP with the (optionally rooted) G1 image, and thus access the paid apps. You can also flash a rooted G1 with the ADP image, and thus lose access to the paid apps. You can also negotiate with T-mobile to unlock your SIM card.
At the hardware level the only difference is the plastic cover. Once you've unlocked the recovery image and/or the SPL you can switch between images freely (with a wipe). Note that if you don't have an engineering SPL (stock on the ADP) it will be a pain to get back to an unlocked state if you flash the standard G1 image, as it will flash the recovery image with one that will only accept the OTA keys. As long as the SPL is open you can use fastboot to reclaim your phone - otherwise you need to apply the root exploit.

Actually, i could not see the paid apps while rooted.
I downgraded and got to RC33 non rooted, but still cannot seem to see the paid apps.
Any ideas?

well in your post youve linked to software which is for the wifi only version(mz604)
you need to get the model number of your xoom, if it is MZ604 then it wont support 3g, are you sure its a 3g model??? make sure you find out which one you have before flashing any roms, as if you flash the wrong firmware you could ruin your device

i don't know the model number
when i get the tablet the seller was install
([ICS]Stock Android 4.0.4 IMM76 ) software which is for the wifi only version(mz604)
i am sure its a 3g model that seller say the tablet 3G unlocked
now i flash the tablet with firmware Europe from Motorola website ...
MZ601_H.6.1-38-1_Retail_Europe and update to 3.2
my question is....
1) how i know now the model number
2) how can i use 3G for browsing
this is my first time to use tablet

can someone help me.....
the seller from ebay did not answer to me

I think it tells you in the settings somewhere, if not what type of back is on your xoom? Mine is wifi only and ots sort of grey silver colour, i beleive the 3g xoom has a black back, , so if yours is 3g itll have a black back if its a silver grey then its wifi only, also have you tried putting a sim card in it? Does anything appear in settings to select a network?b

i727 "no sim" error on SOME cards

I have an unlocked AT&T Skyrocket SGH-I727 that is very picky about which SIM cards it accepts. I have seen a few similar forums, but nothing that fixes or seem directly applicable so want to start a new discussion.
No SIM Card
Similar problem but I'm not locked to any particular network, rather it is a few networks that work, a few that don't (all GSM).
No sim card error?? Any solutions??
My problem isn't no signal, it's no SIM.
"No sim" issue on Skyrocket
SIM card tray in my phone doesn't appear to be loose.
No signal after sim unlock
Not working at all, no solution.
I was running Cyanogen Mod with no problem on China Unicom (could use also China Mobile 2G) but on a trip last month to Bolivia was surprised that the phone doesn't accept any of the local SIM cards (such as Tigo, a GSM network) while an HTD Status and my backup SGH-i777 worked with all of these networks.
I tried a few different ROM's before flashing the i727 phone back to stock using Odin. Other than installing Team Win Recovery v2.2.0, it's plain stock, not even rooted. See below:
Android version 4.0.4
Baseband version Unknown
Kernal version 3.0.8
Build number IMM76D.UCLF6
While back in the US I tried several other cards, including an AT&T SIM, Straight Talk (actually from AT&T) and it also said no SIM. I've found that the China Unicom SIM works perfectly and a few others (see photo below) consistently work fine. I'd really like to get the phone working again on all of these GSM networks like my i777, HTC and i9300 do.
I've tried flashing three radios Radio_RIL__I727ATTKJ2, Radio_RIL__I727ATTKK1, Radio_RIL__I727RUXKJ7 but other than making T-Mobile 3G work, haven't helped me use any of the other SIMs.
Can anyone help with this? Should I be flashing another radio, replacing a part of the hardware (warranty isn't an option)? I'll buy a case of Redbull, Guinness or similar if I can get this working.

read returning to stock sticky, perform a reset afterwards, if still having issues, then either faulty phone, like sim tray or its contacts, or the unlocked method was fracked up in one way or another, try the free unlock method and see what happens, its in the 1stop sticky

[Q] HTC OneX Rogers Hotspot - Limited Connectivity

I have a stock Rogers HTC OneX running the latest stock update 4.1.1. Not rooted, never had a custom installed on this particular device.
I am unable to use the mobile hotspot like I used to before the update. Both my laptops, my tablet and my TV can all connect to my HTC OneX with no issues. However, on each device, the connection is "Limited Connectivity" with no internet access.
I had originally thought it was the devices themselves and their settings. However, after using a friends device as a hotspot, each device connects perfectly with full connectivity. It has become obvious it is my OneX and it's settings preventing a full connection.
Here is where I ask you experts on how I may fix this issue.
Here are some SS of my current settings if it helps. Thank you for your help

Just wanted to follow up just in case other have the same issue as me.
After performing quite the bit of troubleshooting, I decided to call Rogers. Since the last time I have used me device as a hotspot, late fall, there have been two things that have happened. My data service got flipped over from HSPA to LTE and Rogers pushed out the HTC OneX 4.1.1 update. At first the tech was puzzled as my account seemed to be provisioned correctly. In the end, he removed tethering from my account, and reapplied it. This solved my issue immediately.
Before you jump in about Rogers and tethering; due note that Rogers USED to have a separate paid account feature for tethering. They removed this, and included tethering on all accounts, saying "data is data" which is a great thing. However, when rogers was ushering in LTE, originally they were NOT going to provision current users with HSPA data plans with LTE service. LTE data was going to be an extra feature you jumped over to for an extra cost, AND they were going have a separate provision code for tethering. This was shortly lived and just before LTE came out they announced that all data plans will be LTE compatible, with no extra charge so long as you had an LTE device. The old provision codes remained in the system and are supposed to be automatically added. Sometimes this does not happen or gets bugged causing my issue. This according the CSR Tech I spoke with.
TLDR; Out dated provision codes still in system and sometimes bug out. Rogers CSR reset my tethering feature and all is well and working.

"Slot has been permanently blocked"

I flashed a custom ROM and the on first screen my device asked to insert the PIN code, then i tried more than two times and it showed "Slot has been permanently blocked". I could't make any phonecalls And when i flashed my stock ROM it works normal.
Do you know how to unlock the SIM slot?
Thank you very much.
Device: Blu vivo IV (Gionne s.5.5) chipset 6598
Custom ROM: Lolifox V6
---------------------------------
If you truly believe the device is stolen or has otherwise been acquired through illegitimate means, we can't help you - you should contact the authorities and have the seller investigated. Stealing is a crime and stolen IMEIs are blocked for that very reason.
If not, first check that the phone supports the network frequencies that your carrier uses wherever you are - not all phones support all bands, and not all carriers support all bands either.
If you can tell us the make and model of the phone, we can point you to a device-specific forum in case it's a general problem or issue with that phone model.
Beyond that, you can try to take up with the manufacturer of the phone or the carrier if it's a carrier-branded phone.
I once had to make numerous called to my carrier's support line because my new imported phone was somehow registered in my carrier's database as a completely different kind of device, so the system kept kicking me off the data plan."

My device was not stolen, i bought it recently, if you guys want i could post the photography of the box.
I live in BRAZIL (BLU IV) and i am trying to install a custom room for a device which's made for INDIA(GIONE s5.5), the device, it self, is the same, what changes its the "software".I saw a video on youtube that someone from USA installed the same custom ROM and didn't get any problem.
I am apologies for this good English sirs.

If you enter the wrong PIN more than three times, the "slot" gets blocked and you can't use your SIM to connect to the network anymore. Newly bought SIM cards come inside one bigger card on which your PUC is written on. For security purposes, SIM cards require this code to be entered if they get locked down.
