I want to root and install a cutom rom on my droid 2 but its CDMA network is ntelos and I just paid 40$ to have it flashed over to my plan. If I root and install cm9 will I have to pay again?
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using xda app-developers app
No, but if you brick the phone you will have to reflash an SBF image. That's when CDMA programming dies.
Thanks
So I shouldn't do the method that bricks,unbricks?

was going to use this to root

and flash this
cm9
am i safe?
Anything SBF related will erase CDMA programming.
ezSBF and sbf_flash shouldn't touch the radio stuff
and you can root with Magic md5 which is the method used in that link
I'm still kind of sketch on doing it. So rooting and flashing a custom rom won't un ntelos it? Only bricking will?
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using xda app-developers app
I can't say for sure, but if you do decide to try rooting
backup your apn settings with APN Backup & Restore
and if you bootloop, try ezSBF 629 before taking back to reflash ntelos
Is it a carrier that uses APNs on CDMA?..
I don't think CDMA uses apns. I'm still not sure. I tried the ezsbf on vmware and it brcked it and I had to get it re flashed to begin with idk if it was cause of vmware or not. I just don't want to have to scrape up another 40$

I thought ntelos used apn settings for sms and data
I've use oracle vm, with ezSBF normally and it works fine, but I use verizon
Ill try it on orical

which ezSBF did you use?
what do you mean bricked?
should not matter which vm you use, if its not working, burn .iso to cd or usb
and I would not flash sbf, unless phone does not boot
Sent from my XT862 using xda premium
I tried it again with vm ended up having to use easy sbf to reflash 269 and root didn't work? But it didn't wipe my flash. I think I used the wrong sbf last time
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using xda app-developers app
which option did you use?
option 1 is flash sbf only *(no root)
option 2 is root only
---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------
if you used option 2, how did you verify no root?
I used 2 first but left the computer and it fell asleep and canceld so I had to do option 1.

If the rumor is true, then they already know that you rooted, so uprooting isn't going to help you

Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using XDA App
according to what i read directly from the source P3Droid, they may have been tracking root users for quite some time, if thats true then unrooting wont be helping you.
I was only rooted for a week and never used a custom rom, overclocked, or wireless teathered.
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using XDA App
Again, according to the source, there are several ways to track when someone roots their phone, such as having a file that warns the network when it detects someone rooting, chances are if they are tracking root users then they already know you've rooted, even if it was only for a week. Again, this is IF they are tracking us.

You can unroot using Z4root then just delete it from your phone.

Yes you SHOULD be able to unroot with z4 but like the previous posts say, if they are tracking root users you could well be screwed. If there is any tracking going on it must not be stored on the phone though. If it were, one of the many modders in this community would have uncovered it. I would think that it would be stored on the server side....

Are you coming from another phone, say, a 3G phone that the retailer may have taken the SIM card from and put into your A2?
The ATRIX 2 is a 4G phone, and if the SIM card from a 3G phone is used it will cause connectivity issues.

Yes,i used my sim card on my nokia phone and also on my Samsung galaxy pro. I don't have any issue to both phone before.

Not familiar with those phones. Try going to your provider's retail store and have them swap the SIM, that's where I'd start. I always request a new SIM card with each new phone, as they do have a shelf life -especially when swapping between two or more devices.

Try my bullet rom. I have netspeed tweaks + supercharged. Which increases data connectivity.

Are you in the US? Which atrix2 are you using?
What I noticed is that the at&t version is so tuned to at&t that it might have issues when you run it over other network because of some small frequency differences.
Previously I was using captivate which was also an at&t phone and I had similar problem but over time, there were several radio firmware that you could flash over and improve (or worsened ) the signal quality.
The atrix2 is not there yet..

Nop, you can proceed with the bootstrap but the thing of having CWM on boot it's that it something goes wrong when you install another rom (boot loop or something similar) is that you can reverse the damage by restoring a backup or flashing a another rom you have.
If you install the bullet rom keep in mind that it comes already with the CWM on boot feature so you don't need bootstrap anymore

Yup,that's what im thinking,i don't need to install CWM to run custom rom. But just like you said incase that i encounter problem i can't reverse the damage. I followed the instruction to put both the bootstrap and the CWM on the root of my SD card. I installed the bootsrap first and boot, and when im about to install the zip file of CWM, i can't find it. I tried many times to copy and paste and still the same,i can't find the CWM zip. What do you think is the problem?

Phone's signal is depended on hardware and its related firmware (baseband), so do not try many Roms to find the best for better signal (now we can't try to flash new baseband due to locked bootloader).
Every modem I flash doesn't fix the problem either. IMEI and SIM card is not recognized either.
There's a problem with 1) your carrier, or 2) something is wrong with your sim.

I did a backup through cwm. I did notice that after odin'ng back to stock, re-route and install of GO V2, everything was fine. Atleast till i restored my backup. I made a backup after flashing the blaze modem so I am guessing it saved that crap in my backup.
Is there a way to leave out that part of my backup? Atleast that way I can still restore all my apps and settings?
There is option for advance restore

I recently bought a huawei m865c from straight talk. I have tried several rooting methods including superoneclick, z4, gingerbreak, fastrootplus, tried to apply an update.zip from sd in recovery. I have the android SDK installed and have written a few aps and got them to come up on the phone and have checked the adb devices in cmd prompt and they work too.
If I'm not mistaken that's the ascend2. If so you might try "cricketusers " or "prepaid androids " - the root process can't be that different just because it's straight talk
Sent from my M886 using xda premium
yea, been to cricketusers and unleashed prepaids tried an sd card update method and a recovery.img install both failed
I've been working on a root for this phone. I was thinking if I can downgradee it successfully to 2.3.3, its easy to root from there. The problem is finding a version that the phone is capable of updating to. Using a 300MB .app it will go through the install to an extent, I'm thinking that is because of the limited space available on the phone's hardware. This is
The error message I get when using this process. So this definitely seems to be a possible root method, feel free to PM me with any info you may find.
