After you root do it and place on your EXT SD Card/computer for safe storage!

Thanks, sounds kinda like the original EVO, where u had to save wimax keys or something

[Q] Bricked?

My wife works for US Cellular and is having a complete fit about me updating my phone and rooting it !!!! She is afraid of it being bricked or having some issue with it down the road that i would have to send it out and it having to be worked on and DATA TECH seeing that it has done.. has there been any issues with the froyo update bricking phones i've looked and looked and not seen that it has.. also rolling it back to stock hasnt had and issues either has it ...
None that I know about. Besides you can always do an odin restore to 2.1 and it will be like it just came out of the box.

I work for US Cellular. This phone is my work phone, and I develop on it. I'm 99.9% positive that you cannot brick these phones by rooting and updating them, or flashing anything to them for that matter. As long as you follow directions you should be fine. When using Odin, don't flash anything to the Phone portion. Only flash to the Pit and PDA portions. Also, never flash anything that isn't for the Mesmerize. I don't care that other people have not had problems with it, It's not worth the risk to the average person. Also, read everything that you can and ask questions.
Come hang out in the irc room with us if you need anything.
Thank you...so far froyo is working well haven't rooted yet.. What are the benifits to rooting?

Rooting allows you the ability to get to the root directory, run apps that you couldn't run before, and other features that you normally would have. It's a hand thing to do.
Rooting shouldn't brick your phone.

Yes after rooting you can download from the market adfree that will remove most ads. The what I like to use is titanium backup to remove or freeze the bloatware. By freezing it is removes it from the app drawer. But is still on the phone encase you need it later say for warrenty. But now with the Odin files for our phones you can delete the bloat and do a resort in you must warrenty it.

I work for US Cellular and I use my work phone for rooting,development, and h4xing. I once messed up a flash when it first came out(no odin yet) and sent it into samsung directly and they reflashed it for me.

See I saw one with:
"- Just ... ..."
and one with no dash:
"Just ... ..."
So I assumed you were typing it different every time. Then I realized you were probably using the xda app since it said "Sent from my .. ..." haha
I started adding the - so people would know it was my sig. Now the new version of it.

Like the sig. I'm gonna do that with mine.
Adfree is awesome,
And another really good way to get rid of bloat is to use the pick'n'pack roms. All the instructions are on the post in the android dev section.
And rooting/ flashing shouldn't be frowned upon by a lot of people at us cell / samsung- a lot of those are people that have a passion for phones and do the same thing

My GPS never locks :(

I bought my phone from wind and it came with froyo. the gps used to work but ever since i put on eaglesblood rom my gps doesnt work. ive tried lots of other roms and my gps still wont lock on me does anyone know do you fix this?
not sure how much of a difference tmobile and wind models have, but you can always do some searching 1st. Google is awesome, usually brings me back here to xda. theres alot of fixes, you just need to search 1st, Then use trial and error. find what works for your phone. That worked for me before i updated my baseband to July which then resulted in instant GPS locks. Try search 1st. did you run a nandroid backup to restore to?
Sorry I know is blasphemy to say this but I'm sort of a newb. My younger brother got me familiar with how to root my phone and stuff and I'm pretty sure I have a July baseband but everytime I search I don't really find an answer. So I thought I'd give it a shot and just ask
For a long time it took between 5 and 10 minutes for me to get a lock. I tried every remedy out there and nothing helped. This was with the Weapon Rom. Well one day I screwed up something in recovery and had to start from scratch. Literally I had to reload Clockworkmod and start with nothing.
Anyway, after reloading Weapon 3.0 I get locks within 5 to 30 seconds. Have no idea why. I don't think the Rom has changed. I am not using any of the hacks, tweaks, apps etc. Just happy it works now.
Thats so strange when you mention that cause before eaglesblood, weapon g2x was my favourite. its a really good rom but yeah I just checked my baseband on my phone and it says Jun 05 2011. I know hardware wise tmobile and wind g2x are the same, winds' just has no bloatware on it really. No t-mobile apps

Sd card problem...

Does anyone else have the issue of the sd card not staying in very well? It doesn't actually click in. The cover kinda holds in down but not very well... mine just popped out =/
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app

You need to push the sd card in until it clicks into place, will go down a little way as its spring loaded and then click into position. I tend to use something to push the sd card in as its a pain to do it without fingernails... Same way to release it...

Dude, you don't think I tried that?? C'mon now... I'm not a noob. So don't ASSume.
Are you putting it in the right way? Not ASSuming you are a noob but I've seen people who are certifiable geniuses get stumped by simple tasks that the rest of us simple, mundane humans find easy.....
Again, I'm not assuming you are a genius either...
Yes I'm putting it in the right way cause the wrong way won't even go in half way. From the sounds of it it's not a common issue and must just be my device.

It is possible the catch that is supposed to kick in and hold the sd card in may be broken, I have seen and experienced this before on other devices. That would be a warranty job.
Before taking back though I'd either try a new sd card, if you have 1, or test the current one out in another device - must be spring loaded like the note 10.1.... That rules out Samsung telling you there's nothing wrong and potentially charging you for the service. Also removes the sd card from the culprit list...

[Q] Any way to turn this into a tablet with WiFi only?

This was my wifes POS Phone till I upgraded her to a SGSIII for Christmas. Now I have a device that would be perfect for my daughter if it weren't for the pesky phone option and Sprint bloatware. Are there any roms available that strip this phone to bare bones with no radios except WiFi? Haven't been able to find any and it might not be on the top of the Dev's todo list so if anyone is up to a ROM that will make this device at least usable because as a phone it SUCKS, but for a kiddo it would be a great toy with some of the game apps. Thanks in advance, and if I missed a ROM that does exactly what I'm asking in the mountains of pages in the Dev forum, please use only a small flame as I'm old and have a cold LOL.
A tip: when asking for help you might want to avoid talking trash about a device we users enjoy using.
My advice, 'the device sucks' and is a 'pos' so why bother doing anything with it. Go buy yourself, your kid or whoever an ipod and move on.
Lol why should we help you? One of the most stupid threads here

Just hate HTC. Have since the TP2. No appologies for that when they make life just such a pain in the ass. Even cringed when the wife chose it but cest la vie. I'm not going against the boss. Maybe I'm just stupid but I've tried rooting but its a 2.3.4 and every option this thread gives me doesn't work for some reason or another. ShiftRR doesn't run at all saying ADB is at fault but I can ADB into the whole phone myself no problems, ShiftySonOfA almost works but creates a boot loop that thankfully is repaired by doing an --undo, Quickroot seems to work but then unroots the phone just as soon as it reboots. Trying to do it manually using the info on here gives me exactly the same boot loop as the ShiftySonOfA.BAT file does and trying to update from SD using a PG06img.zip I got from a rootkit fails. I can't help it if I'm a Samsung fan. Their goal in life isn't making their users stress out over their phones by daring to think they can do better than they can. If its too much to ask that my RAM isn't more than half full just with OS and bloatware because this phone refuses to root then so be it but even if its miles below my Nexus it's still MILES above any iPoo device.
Then throw it out and go buy a portable media player, or better yet send it to a dev who would put it to use and go buy some type of portable media player.
Edit: and to anyone who actually wants to try and help this guy, does this really seem like a person we need to deal with in our little speedy community in the future?

ROFL Speedy community. Half of you are talking about swapping out to Photons and the other half are moving to One X's. yes I've read an awful lot before posting a question. Guess I'll be getting absolutely no help here. Not that there is much help available for this device when all the links are broken and the ones that are working, don't work for their intended purpose. Feel free to delete the thread MOD I'll stay where I'm welcome, in the Samsung sections.
Happy to see you leave, please don't come again.

Well its probably been a while since you researched how to root, because if you done that more recently or even looked at my sig, you would have already rooted that shift. I posted it here and in 3 other well-known forums so its hard to believe that you haven't found it.

From what I have gathered it will be the 703L. I purchased mine off Amazon and it is listed as the Honor Mediapad X2 with 16GB of Storage and 3GB of RAM in silver.
I can't believe you didn't get more help. I also just bought mine too GEM703L. And would love to know same exact thing. Which SD card do they recommend. Can I take this SIM card from my current AT&T phone and plug it into the X2 or do I have to go to AT&T store.
I've tried to read a lot and take notes on installing google Play, getting messages to work with textra, etc. But I'm just a rookie

Put your AT&T SIM in and it will read your APN settings from the SIM and just work. If you need to root there is a Root Mediapad X2 guide in here that you have to follow to root it, then you can flash TWRP in Fastboot. First you need to unlock the bootloader by sending Huawei an e-mail with some information and wait for them to reply with your unlock code. It's posted in one of these threads. Search this forum and you will find it. This is the root guide thread to follow:

I think I just expected a little different experience with replies, the fact that they were limited is fine. I just have to start playing around with different things myself, and that's ok. I just wanted to dig in and read what people were doing with their phones and learn some tips and tricks. Going outside of main stream channels to purchase a phone is a new thing for me and I was hoping for more of an experience where enthusiasts who are using the same phone would share what they are currently doing.
I agree. I always bought the next best AT&T Android that I researched. Been with the Note series as I like big phones. This will be my first phone bought outside the norm also and I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm going to keep reading and searching. Wish I knew who the best honor x2 tech guy was and Id hire him to give me personal advice and files etc and step by step what to do to get my phone 100% optimized and functional. That would be great.

Hi! I saw your post a long time ago but didn't answer because I am in the same boat you are! Lol! A lot of what is discussed here is waaaay over my head. (Most of the rooting information - which I don't want to do anyway because I don't want to lose my warranty). I am the type who just wants to pleasantly use a big-#$& screen phone! But I do read ALL the posts and pay attention because I do enjoy learning things along the way. I hope you at least have it working like a great cell phone... that's what I hope for...

I created this thread yesterday. It will get you started. Yes you can replace the stock launcher. I'm using Apex Launcher. You can delete a lot of the stock apps from system/app and system/priv-app once you're rooted.

Thank you so much.
I'm nervous about bricking phone. So I will start with getting the SIM card working with my network. Getting calls and texts working. Getting play store installed. Getting textra installed. Getting it all on English. Getting buzz launcher going. Getting SD card installed and able to read and write. Getting all of my apps and data transferred over in the easiest manner (currently what I'm researching.. Looks like helium is best option)
Root will be down the line a few days. If I get the nerves up to do it.
Thanks again

DITTO. (Except maybe for Buzz Launcher and DEFINITELY rooting). My OCD is also stressing because app icons will just be an all-over-the-place mess without alphabetical order (from what I have heard) so I might be spending some time alphabetizing apps (if that's possible)! lol!

You won't brick the phone. If you get stuck in a bootloop you can put the phone in Bootloader Mode and flash the stock rom through Fastboot.
