[HOW TO] - Flash Droid2 To Cricket

OK this is pretty much the same as the droid 1 with a few change ups.
Requirements Are as follows
Astro File Manger(from Market)
ROOT(Use Z4root)
Autostart (from Market)
Custom ROM(i like gummyJar so ill go with that)
Rom Manger(from market)
Bootstrap Recovery(from market)
Anycut(from Market)
Root Explorer(from market)
QPST((google it, 2.11 seemed to work fine)
CDMA workshop(google it)
CRICKET PRL for your area(google it)
Harware Virtural Serial Port(google it)
Moto Drivers for your droid2(google once again)
Autostart.sh & U2nl files(google it)
Step 1. Rooting....
Install Astro File Manger from the market, then place z4root on your SD card along with the Rom file renamed Update and the Autostart.sh & U2nl files.
Open Astro File manger and find z4root.apk, Now Run z4root. and permanently root your phone.
now install and open Rom Manger and flash the clockwork recovery and close
next install and open bootstrap recovery and press boot strap recover. let it work its magic, then close and reopen the app and press reboot recovery.
once in the clockwork recovery wipe data and cache and then install via the update.zip.
reboot your phone.
Install your moto drivers to your pc
now install Harware Virtural Serial Port and open, now click login, and click ok.
Go to the Settings tab and make sure that NVT Enabled is unchecked and go back to the Virtual Serial Port tab.
pick a com port above 8 and below 15 so we will use 9 as our com port.
Make sure the IP Address field reads 192.168.16.2 and the Port field reads 11008
aswell as the external NVT command port be 11008.
now plug in your usb cable to your phone and bring the drop down menu, and select USB, and select PC MODE, press ok.
Now Create your Com port. (if you installed the drivers right it will read connected if not, you will get the error notice.
Now Open CDMA WORKSHOP.
Select your com port you set in HW virtual serial port.
and click Connect. Now Click Read. If everything worked you will see your phones info come up.
now go to the security tab and in the SPC field type in 000000 and click send. you will get a notice the phone is now unlocked.
now go to the other tab and Write your PRL for you area to your phone.
now go the NAM tab and write in your MIN and MDN numbers that you have from cricket. Ex.123-000-0000 and click Write.
now go to http://www.whiterabbit.org/android/ and in the first field type in your phone [email protected] and click generate Ex. [email protected]. save the text file to your desktop.
now go to the memory tab in CDMA workshop and under NV ITEMS click write.
and select the text file u just made using the webpage, it will say 12 NV items written if everything went right.
now go to Main tab and click mode and then click reset.
now install QPST to your pc. HW vitrual port and cdma will have lost your phone, so close cdma workshop and unplug and replug in your phone to the usb cable. once HW has found it again. Open
QPST Configuration.(under the start menu) click the ports tab and click add new port. and find your port number. Then go back to active phone and select your phone.
now under the start clients menu select SERVICE PROGRAMMING, Now go to the MIP tab. Click on the entry in the User Profile box and click Edit. Make sure that NAI and Tethered NAI both read [email protected] (replace the x's with your 10 digit phone number). If they don't, type it in. Also make sure Home Address, Primary HA Address and Secondary HA Address read 0.0.0.0 if they don't, change them. Click OK
While still on the M.IP tab make sure Mobile IP Behavior is set to Mob + Simp f/back. And make sure Active User says 0.
Now go to the PPP Config tab. Click the UM button. In the PPP Authentication section make sure Tethered NAI and User ID reads [email protected] (replace the x's with your 10 digit phone number) and Req PW enc is checked and the password is cricket
While still in the PPP Config tab click the AN button. In the PPP Authentication section make sure User ID reads [email protected] (replace the x's with your 10 digit phone number) and Req PW enc is checked and type in the same password. Tethered NAI should be [email protected] (replace the x's with your 10 digit phone number).
Now on the bottom click Write to Phone. May take a few minutes and your phone may restart, so sit back and relax most of the hard part is done.
now install Anycut from the market. Open up Any Cut and click New shortcut. Select Activity>APNs click it and click OK on the popup. This will create an APNs shortcut on your home screen.
Now Set your APNS to the Following.

Server wap.mycricket.com
MMSC http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy wap.mycricket.com
MMS Port 8080
MCC 310
MNC 004
Authentication Type PAP or CHAP
APN type <Not set>
Now click the menu button and click Save. You can now delete the shortcut off your phone home screen.
Now install Autostart and Root Explorer, now using Root explorer go to your sd card and select Autostart.sh, and copy and paste it to the /data/opt/ (this folder needs to be created) directory of your phones root, you will need to mount the folder so you can write to it.
now head back to you SD card again and select and copy the u2nl and paste it to the /system/bin/ directory. Now exit root explorer and restart your phone.
NOW YOUR DONE. YAYYYYYYY.....now have fun and tell me how it goes for you, so far for me its all good, web,mms,talk,text all work fine.

Nice tutorial!
The only thing I would say is I don't think you need to use Rom Manager with clockwork on the D2. I've heard other people who've installed Rom Manager with recovery and it screws up the Bootstrapped recovery. Everything you need to flash will go through boot strap so the only use for it on the D2 is just to download stuff.

Is this for Droid 2 or Droid 2 Global?

Anyone have any experience with Cricket? How are the data speeds and call reliability?

well in the city and where i live i get about good download speed, normal upload for low end carrier.
in the outta parts like the sticks i get 1x speeds but data none the less.
and No this is not for the Droid 2 global, that would seem like a sim card based phone. so im guessing its GSM which means it can be unlocked to work with any sim card base network
And ive done this flash about 13 times already and rom manger and bootstrap all seemed to play nice. i did flash the clockwork recovery before i install bootstrap just so i could get to the recovery menu.

Would this method work on a Droid Incredible?
Nice write up.Im hoping to do this sometime.

Not sure if it would work on the incredable since droids are made by moto and the increadable is htc

One question, after flashing to Cricket. How would you go by and updating the system? Cause i could imagine auto updating it would interfere with the flash..

well that would depend on your rom, most rom's faze out the auto update and ever needing it.
And then there's clockwork recovery that's flashed to the phone itself.
clockwork will never allow a carrier update it will always block it and ask you to reboot your phone.
so either way there's no auto updates going to happen, so i would say your safe from the auto update feature in the phone.
But if your rom doesn't have the auto update disabled, your going to get naged to death by it.

Oh i got you. And any Rom works with flashing over to Cricket?
-Thanks for replying quickly Lol[:

yup any rom will work, so you can install a rom and just try it out for a few hours before you even get to setting it up web and mms
but even if you install new roms, your talk and text will always work right out of the box with any rom since writing of the MDN and MIN numbers are in the phones main system or a kinda bios, so you can alway try before you keep. And sometimes you can set up more then one rom for full cricket settings and just switch between if you wanted to.

im not sure where the NV items are stored on the phone itself.
so your best bet would be to try to write in just the what your setting are suppose to be for your network and write them, and test it out.`

So I'm well on my way with this excellent walkthrough . . . But as a noob who has no current service on this Droid2 and no service with any other phone, what should I do to get cricket service going? Order the android plan by calling them, get the basics set up so that I can establish MIN & MDN, then go through the rest of the steps?

ok first off, yes you do need a cricket account. And No you dont need the android plan. I dont even think cricket will let you get a android plan without THEIR android phone. I tried this awhile back with a blackberry i flashed and wanted the blackberry plan and was told that they would be breaking the contract between them and RIM and could have there store something or other revoked from cricket if they allowed a flashed blackberry to get a blackberry plan instead of buying their phone new, with a new plan.
Soooo in turn i think if would be the same deal so you should just get the basic 40 plan like i have, i have full web,text,mms,email,...etc and all i pay is 46(with tax) a month
and im not sure if cricket will let you order over the phone. But in store they might work with you. Simply ask them to make you an account, pay for everything and then get your MIN and MDN numbers and do the NV items and all the other Settings with your numbers.
BUT this is if the stupid people in store(which almost have no idea other then how to pay your bill) will try to help you with.
MAKE SURE YOU STRESS TO THEM YOU ARE GOING TO FLASH THE PHONE YOURSELF AND THAT YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE NOT HELD LIABLE FOR YOUR PHONE OR SERVICE NOT WORKING EVEN THOUGH YOU PAID FOR IT. (this is just the legal crap so they feel better)

Heh yeah I have already had one experience with the people in the store--I love how about two hours of reading random forum posts online with no structure to how I was getting my information basically gave me more knowledge than an entire store staff combined.
I have read that you can tell them you have an M6000 and get the android plan that way, but then obviously you can't bring the phone into the store with you. On the other hand, you're saying you have full web, i.e. evdo, even without the android plan? If so, makes more sense to me not to pay the $55.

PRL

Hello,
For some reason the USCC tower keeps throwing me PRL Version 2004 which is not the correct one nor is it an EVDO PRL. Could someone pull the PRL from their USCC Mesmerize and send me a copy of it?
Thanks!

Update! I got a copy of the latest EVDO USCC PRL. It is version 15110.
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B3bJhlpqhFHFYzM2NTI5ZjAtZGUyOC00ODY5LTg5MzUtYzdmYmUzMzkwZWYy&hl=en

I've got 15102. How do you apply the 15110 version?

I'd like to know how to apply these PRL updates manually as well. Also, if someone could explain how to save them from your phone, I'd appreciate that.

Actually it is pretty simple.
Word of caution do not attempt if your in a roaming area and not at home.
Just dial *228 and follow the messages. Took me about 50 seconds.
I now have 15110. It was 15102 before.
Cheers!

yeah what MrHanMan is asking is what's the MANUAL way to do it? Like how do you get a PRL from another user and install to your phone?

I may have missunderstood the question. But it may be part of the phone (radio). I don't think that is flashable. It goes in where your ph numb, and mein is stored. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

You can read and write PRL from a Samsung phone if you have the Samsung PST applicaiton, and the DLL file that allows the PSt to read your particular phone. That's about the only way I know of you read a PRL out of a phone or write one into a phone.
I don't have the links for such an app, but I imagine you can find them online somewhere.

QPST
I used QPST, which is Qualcomm Product Support Tools. You will need to know your 6 digit unlock code to read and write the info to your phone. There are a lot of other options that can be changed with the QPST software, but I'd think twice unless you know what your doing. Your phone will need to be place in modem mode, which is accomplished by entering ##8778# from the dialer and making sure UART is set to modem and USB is set to modem as well. This will add your phone to your computer as a modem and give it a COM port. You may need to add the COM port under QPST since your computer may pick a higher COM port such as 9, 10, 11, or 12.
Heres the link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FEZ13PEQ
When finished make sure you change the USB option back to PDA or you wont be able to transfer files to and from your phone using it as a storage device.

##634#

I read somewhere about dialing ##634# to do battery test on wp7 devices however on my phone it enabled something called "embedded tool" and says something about passing DM codes via USB. Does any know what this means and if it can be used to help crack the device. Also does anybody know other dialpad codes that might help?

Confirmed that this code brings up the mentioned menu on my Arrive.
Diag has two toggles:
This tool allows device to transfer DM commands between device modem and USB ports
Diag mode - DISABLED (with a toggle)
Auto Diag mode is for PLTS LBS test use only and should remain disabled for other tests.

Thank you Layne for describing these more thoroughly. I've just been posting these as I find them. FYI I'm not responsible if you brick your phone by messing with the settings within these various tools. Use at your own risk.

Anyone with any insight into what the abbreviations mean? MSL - Master System Lock. RTN - Real Time Network. Not sure about the others.
Also, anyone with a "spare" that can afford to dive deeper into the menus with less concern about bricking? Or maybe someone wants to go play at the Sprint store.

I'm wondering if any of those will allow the USB mode to be switched to allow tethering?

Clicking some of the submenus.
Data Status --- shows the IP Address. But I can't ping that IP (not totally unexpected) but it might be interesting to see if there are any open ports.
Configuration --- shows a lot of phone details. Chipset: Qualcomm 8650. AMSS Version. PRL Version. Device version. Hardware version. etc. (Not sure if any of the details are useful to those with better hacking skills.)
The others all show information, but those two look the most useful for someone digging into the phone's guts.

Also, anyone with a USB sniffer might want to play with the Diag mode.

The only one that worked on my HTC 7 Pro (Mango, dev unlocked) is ##data# it looked interesting but I was afraid to press on any of the options

I got adventursome and actually pushed many of the buttons. Most of them were just displaying information. The MSL (Master System Lock) screen I didn't play with other than to click into it and it prompts for a PIN. I also didn't play witht he Diag mode. All of the other areas pulled up screens full of information.

So I have been researching this stuff. I have found out that these screens only display info unless you know your MSL code that is when you can enter the MSL code and edit almost all of those settings. From what I can edit I believe I may be able to make it so my phone could work on another network. I'm afraid to test that theory out though.
As far as diag mode I have found when you flip the switch on that my computer wanted a different driver to be able to recognize my phone. I have found a driver so my computer now recognizes my phone in diag mode as a modem. I haven't been able to get this to tether the device unfortunately. I have also found a computer application which lets you pass DM (Device Management) codes to your phone. Unfortunately I don't know any dm codes my phone (The HTC Arrive) recognizes. I will continue to update if I make any more advances with this.

Sorry, it took me so long to answer.
I have the HTC arrive so...
I've been messing around with a program call CDMA Workshop which is available at
http://www.cdma-ware.com/workshop.html
to be able to connect you need to put your phone in diag mode
##634#
tap diag
enable diag mode
You will also need HTC diag drivers available at

I know that says evo but I have used it and I'm telling you it works.
Be warned... if you mess with the wrong settings you can really mess up your phone.

verizon galaxy siii programming mdn required on non-stock roms?

Relocated from email discussion:
Hey, great tool[editorial: I think in reference to: http://code.google.com/p/cdmaworkshoptool/ ]. Would it be possible for me to get a copy of the most recent build? I'm looking into some things on the galaxy s3 because we lose the min and phone number on non-stock roms. -C
to C:
Most recent build is .2 which is public.. What exactly do you mean by lose? As in they must be reprogrammed after.a rom is flashed? Does the, normal version of dev term you have downloaded fail to write the number back?
3:39 PM (2 hours ago)
to me
It's a temporary problem with cm10. Development has been slow. It's lost on the first reboot and then mms doesn't work. In android, under status about it lists "My Phone Number" as unknown and Min as unknown. Just trying to see if I can write them while the OS is booted.
to C:
To write a mdn and min typically you would connect to the phone in diagnostic mode.. Send mode offline. Send spc. Then simply write mdn and min from the nam part of the interface.. There are typically three nv items which dev term writes for mdn, and min. Then, mode reset will reset and you can confirm if this wrote the nv item..
Did that answer any questions?
to C:
Having never tested a galaxy s iii I'm not sure if devterm should work... There is alot of chatter online about a program called ets, you might look.for that if devterm doesn't work. Please let me know if you are able to successfully write on the galaxy siii.
to me
We are able to write to it with qpst. I actually got the numbers back, but I'm not sure how. Now Im in the process of seeing if I can figure out how to replicate it. What is supposed to happen when you put it into reset mode? It doesn't work for me after that.
to C:
After mode reset the radio of the phone will literally reset.. Some phones this will actually turn off and on the whole phone.. Some will just show no.service temporarily... After mode reset.cdmadevterm will disconnect.from phone.. There are alot of variables, but typically if.qpst could write the phone devterm should also be able.. The mdn and min are really quite simply three nv items, I suspect the subsystem that normally stores this information is being overwritten or formatted by cyanogen...
if you have ever used cdma worksop or qxdm the mode offline and mode reset is functionally the.same..
to me
Thank you so much for going back and forth with me on this. I really appreciate it. The only major difference I noticed between an nv dump on stock and cm is that cm has a lock code for some reason. What is this ETS software you're referring to? CDMA workshop is a bit too expensive unfortunately.

Although I am not totally familiar with the tool it is linked on XDA in another section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696621
I wonder if this might have something to do with the chipset not being qualcomm? On the other hand if you said it worked with qpst maybe they are somehow compatible?

The VIA tool probably won't work since we do have a qualcomm chipset. I still have not figured out how i managed to get it to work once but it came up with the unlock sim message I put in the code for my phone that I Found in nvram and then I tried the spc and a few other things and eventually hit dismiss. It said that it could not connect or something to that effect. Then I checked and it had my phone number as 000-000-xxxx which xxx was that unlock code. Then I restarted and I had the number again. I'm wondering if I somehow got the phone to let go of how its storing the phone number.

Hm. If it is qualcomm I would think that cdmaDevTerm should work... this is how one would normally write the mdn and min with devterm:
http://www.chromableedstudios.com/techninjutsu/howtowritemdnminwithcdmadevterm
Perhaps if this doesn't work you could include the response to the NV write from the LogQ tab to help understand the behavior? Maybe the rom is activating a different Nam profile or something?(I'm not sure if I even have a spot on the UI for that in devterm but a log might help understand)
(for logging purposes you may want to trying writing a fake phone number for privacy)
I guess my question also is: are you trying to figure out why the rom does this? or just a good way to fix it when it does?

[GUIDE] How to change APN for mobile data on Kyocera Brigadier

This guide it will show how to change APN on Kyocera Brigadier and get rid of Verizon Bloatware.
This is for those who use Brigadier in other network (country ) than Verizon USA.
This tutorial is for Windows only. (because drivers and Debloater software)
1. Go to Settings then scroll down to "About phone" and then down to "Build number". Click on the item 7 times in a row. This will say Now you are a Developer.
2 Open the "Developer Options" and mark "USB debugging".
3. First make sure you have installed correctly the drivers for Kyocera Brigadier and your computer sees properly the phone.
You can install drivers from here
4. Connect the phone and select Media Sync Mode. (now the computer must see your E6782). Cancel the installation of Verizon software.
5. Go here to download and install Debloater. (skip warnings of your windows or antivirus)
6. Open Debloater (your phone still connected to computer) (make sure the phone is connected before open Debloater)
7. In up left corner you have "Read Device Packages" - press it, (t will read the processes of your phone)
8. Check the apps (first column) or processes (second column) that you don´t want to use.
Search for qualcomm and check qcrilmsgtunnel.apk alias com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel (this is what block the editing of APN)
I checked all Amazon, Nhl, all Verizon except VZWService (it will mess the programmable button and every time you open the phone it will ask for program it)
9. When you finish to mark click Apply and wait for Debloater block all services.
10. Disconnect your phone and go to Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names and you will see in right corner a plus. Click it and introduce your Network provider settings and save.
Usually on name put whatever you want, on APN put net and APN type put default but you can check on provider's website for manual settings.
11. Check on mobile data, close Wi-Fi and verify if you have mobile internet.
12. Restart the phone and then go back and verify if you can edit again APN. (if not, repeat steps 6-10)
GOOD LUCK!

1. Go to Settings then scroll down to "About phone" and then down to "Build number". Click on the item 7 times in a row. This will say Now you are a Developer.
2 Open the "Developer Options" and mark "USB debugging".
3. First make sure you have installed correctly the drivers for Kyocera Brigadier and your computer sees properly the phone.
You can install drivers from here
4. Connect the phone and select Media Sync Mode. (now the computer must see your E6782). Cancel the installation of Verizon software.
5. Go here to download and install Debloater. (skip warnings of your windows or antivirus)
6. Open Debloater (your phone still connected to computer) (make sure the phone is connected before open Debloater)
7. In up left corner you have "Read Device Packages" - press it, (t will read the processes of your phone)
8. Check the apps (first column) or processes (second column) that you don´t want to use.
Search for qualcomm and check qcrilmsgtunnel.apk alias com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel (this is what block the editing of APN)
I checked all Amazon, Nhl, all Verizon except VZWService (it will mess the programmable button and every time you open the phone it will ask for program it)
9. When you finish to mark click Apply and wait for Debloater block all services.
10. Disconnect your phone and go to Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names and you will see in right corner a plus. Click it and introduce your Network provider settings and save.
Usually on name put whatever you want, on APN put net and APN type put default but you can check on provider's website for manual settings.
11. Check on mobile data, close Wi-Fi and verify if you have mobile internet.
12. Restart the phone and then go back and verify if you can edit again APN. (if not, repeat steps 6-10)
GOOD LUCK!

Hi!!
I've tried on my kyocera brigadier,installing usb driver for windows 7 64-bit,installed debloader (v3.15) and skipped the installation of Verizon software.
Usb debug mode and windows mediasync enabled.
I opened Debloader and the phone was correctly recognised by the program (2 green dot but not the one for the brigadier rooted naturally).
The problem is that when I click on the button that says "Read Device packages",it doesn't read anything! It is stuck on "processing 0 files..." and nothing else happens!!
Someone has had more luck than me?
thank you!!
P.S: mine is an Italian provider "Wind" and the proper apn is "internet.wind"

Sorry te hear this... Usually, all people who I spoke did it right and it always works. So I belive it's a problem with your software... Normally it should work. Try to uninstall and reinstall the software and the drivers... But if you say you see 2 greens circles idk what happens...

How to get Kyocera DuraScout in RO
Hi Obsy,
Can you please help me with some information on this phone, which version to get, from where and if it fully works in Romania. I am not really knowledgeable with phones...
1. Is the US Verizon version of e6782 (they call it Brigadier) capable of GSM connection?
2. There is a version for US small provider BlueGrass, do you know if this is the same as Verizon? of different is some way?
3. On Kyocera site there is also a version called DuraScout, is it the same as Brigadier? What I could understand is that Brigadier might be the CDMA version, and DuraScout the GSM version. Do you have an idea if this is so or not?
4. If we can change the APN in Romania to work on Orange, does it fully work? I mean LTE speed and HSDPA?
Do all other functions work?
5. Is The Verizon version locked in some other way than APN?
Thank you very much for your answer.
PS: I wrote in english because I see this is an english forum.

HI! Yes it's an international forum so usually English it's a must.
I will merge 1,2,3 questions and 4 with 5, so:
First, about Brigadier from Bluegrass idk to much things about frequency but I guess it's identically.
Between Brigadier and Durascout I always choose Brigadier because of Sapphire screen and dedicated camera button. What I don't like is the back of phone.
Second, the Brigadier works very well in Romania. (I'm on Orange too) It won't work LTE but HSPA+. I have a friend which said he could make 4G work (he did it on Hydro Life) but it must root.
Until we can make root there is some Verizon services who I can't stop but I don't bother anymore coz my interest was mobile data.
In the Bluegrass version I think exist much less bloatware but it's a little expensive...
Send me a message with your telephone number to discuss more.

Sorry, I made a mistake... A confusion between Durascout and Duraforce... So Durascout is identically with Brigadier the only difference is branding (Verizon vs Kyocera). Duraforce from AT&T is the one without Sapphire screen and camera button

How To Change APN For Mobile Data On Kyocera Brigadier
I got a Kyocera Brigadier today and made the change to allow APN changes. Then I tried a T-Mobile SIM card, but I get only data, no phone calls or texts. Does anybody know what I should try next?

Curious because normally we can do calls and sms but no data.... Only if u get a coded phone by Verizon and the things are a little complicated. From where you get the phone and how much?

How To Change APN For Mobile Data On Kyocera Brigadier
I downloaded Debloater last night and made the change to allow access to the APN Settings. At the risk of pointing out the obvious, not all cables are created equally. The first micro USB cable appeared to connect to the Brigadier, but I could connect with that software. I tried a different micro USB cable and suddenly Debloater was able to connect with the Brigadier and I made the update. So, just in case anybody here has similar problems communicating wiht the phone, give some thought to trying a different sync cable!

Are All T-Mobile Nano SIM Cards Created Equally?
As posted above, is there more than one type of T-Mobile nano SIM card? Here is why I ask. Recently I bought a Kyocera Brigadier.
-It phone works great with a Verizon nano SIM card.
-I unlocked it with Bebloater software to allow the APN settings to be changed.
-The phone works great with an AT&T SIM card.
-Today I stopped at a T-Mobile store, they removed a nano SIM card from an Apple iPhone 6 and the Kyocera Brigadier worked great.
-Later I stopped at a different T-Mobile store, activated a brand new nano SIM card and the Brigadier Kyocera turns off and on constantly with that SIM card.
So, I am just wondering why the Brigadier would work fine with SIM card that was already activated, but not with a new activation?

I got it! Maybe some bugs in the installation. The "only" thing remaining is root it. Waiting as everyone...

Great! Thanks so much, now data is fine.
I an in NZ, with 2Degrees mobile.
Phone worked for voice, but no data. (phone is version 1.102)
2 minor problems:
1) kyocera drivers have extension .MAN , need to rename to .MSI
2)Initially the usb debugging permission prompt on the phone was hidden behind some other app or something, so the ADB wasn't connecting.
So I am left with 2 issues:
- powerup FUD message: "This Sim Card is from an Unknown Source"
The fix is supposed to be to freeze the setup wizard, but I have done that from debloater, and I still get the message.

2) Can't do phone update. I suspect I need to get a verizon SIM card to do the update

Welcome!
I didn't managed to get rid of the annoying message...
For update the phone u must have an activated Verizon SIM card
Regards!

Do you think it will work OK from overseas with the verizon card?
Not sure what to get, looking on ebay, there are a confusing plethora of sim cards, many of which seem to be specific to iphone or cdma and so on.....
-------
On another note here is another Brigagdier peculiarity:
This page:
teckfront.com/enable-home-button-wake-android-kitkat-4-4-phone
shows KitKat having a setup menu item
Devices->Buttons->Home Button Wake
On the brigadier this seems to have been replaced with the "Programmable Key" item.
Any ideas to get the default Kit Kat "Buttons" option back again?
I find the power button wake pretty cack-handed and annoying, and the programmable key is not very responsive.

I have the original Verizon SIM card which the phone came with but unfortunately I cannot activate it from my country... No signal... So none of Verizon function work.
Verizon input a lot of annoying things (software) to Brigadier... I have set the red key to wake up the phone. (you must long press the button)
I think there is a lot of apps that can remap the buttons but I guess it must root...

If you like, you can post the SIM to my son in USA, and I will get him to take it to a Verizon store, and ask them to activate it.
Can't really guarantee success - anything to do with US cellphone companies seems to be problems! But anyway, probably worth the cost of an envelope....
Then he can post it back to me, and I will send it to you.

Thanks for your help but to activate the SIM it is necessary a plan to be paid so I cancelled this idea.

They do seem to have paygo plans, and a $15 load looks like the min. $15 expires in a month, but most countries sims seem to live for 3-12 months without any load.
Todays problem is that there is no audio from my microphone to the person I am calling. My microphone is electrically and acoustically working as there is internal echo i.e. as I speak I can hear an echo coming out of the earpiece, and in speakerphone I can get feedback.
But when I call another phone, they hear nothing.
If I use sound recorder, nothing is recorded either.
Enabling everything I disabled makes no difference......
Do you know if I do a factory reset, will I need a Verizon SIM again to get the phone going?
Or can I get it working again with a local SIM?

You can do factory reset without any SIM, but I think it won't resolve anything... It might be an hardware issue. Better you can write to Kyocera about this problem. I have an annoying delay (the other person can't hear me for 1-2 seconds) after answering and another problem is a fizzle at every sounds played, even if the phone is on silent. These are software problems... So.. Good luck!
