[Q] Brand new HTC EVO-Flashed to Cricket, rooted by paid "Expert",still no 3g

[Q] Brand new HTC EVO-Flashed to Cricket, rooted by paid "Expert",still no 3g
Hello and thank you for this forum.
I decided to buy an HTC EVO after seeing some ads on my local craigs list about thethering (wifi hotspot) on Cricket service.
I decided to buy a brand new phone unpacked with a clean esn.
Hired a pro to flash it to cricket, and then found out I would also need to root it afterwards. This guy did not offer rooting.
So found a second pro to root it and after I paid him, discovered the wifi hotspot does not work. His answer to me was search the web to learn how to use it. Great.
So while trying to figure out how to use the wifi hotspot, found out how to load htcsync from the phone to my pc. Never did figure how to fix the wifi hotspot and now, the 3g quit working all together.
Of course, these experts have my money and wont return my calls.
Sad story over....

I guess my first question is what does this phone information tell you? I have been reading the net and watching videos for a week now (when I have time) and am so confused and afraid I am going to ruin this new phone. Looks like the OS has been reverted from 2.2 to 2.1? I am guessing Bugless Beast is the ROM? Where should I begin to fix this phone myself? Thank you.

Anyone please?

Wifi Tethering on ATT... A Flash ROM to solve it?

My friend just bought a used Samsung Galaxy S II on AT&T from someone and cannot use it as a hotspot because she gets an error message saying to call 611. I'm curious if that message is caused by the software installed by Samsung or if it is actually a message from the ATT service they use. If it is client side (on the phone) then I would guess that Flashing a new ROM would solve this.
Does anyone know what the situation is with the Wifi Hotspot Tethering on these phones?

What rom is it running now?

My guess is ICS.
Now, carries collect every time you guys use wifi hotspot?
That is just nasty.

Everything is stock on this phone. It is running ICS 4.0.4... I'm trying to root it (OneClickRoot did not work) and get Barnacle going. Hopefully it works. If anyone knows of a way to root this phone (without flashing) we can get this question answered, I think.
Tried...
z4root - no
Universal Androot - no... only works up to Android 2.2
SuperOneClick - no .... sits Waiting for Device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 - no go... went through the process like everything was fine but the filesystem is read only... no go.
I'm out of ideas.
Also should mention, now that I have the phone. I found out that it is model SGH-i727

This forum is for the i9100, what you have is the Skyrocket. To get tethering you will need to flash a unbranded rom (NOT a i9100).
Go check the skyrocket forum. I'll report thread so its moved to correct forum for you.

Flash CWM via Odin, then use it to install superuser zip on the stock rom and you'll have root. Details are in vincom's sticky in this forum.

If you do not want to root phone and keep stock google foxfi. I believe I downloaded from the play store. But if u cant find it there then google it. I went this route for about eight months. Then rooted about a week ago.

Thanks for the help guys. I was trying to avoid ODIN but I am learning that ODIN is my friend. It worked like a charm.
Foxfi did not work on the phone for some reason. Thanks for the heads up though. :good:

[Q] Kitkat on I497

Hello guys,
I just rootet my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 running 4.1.2 Android from AT&T model i497.
Reading through many threads here I could not find a ROM to upgrade this to Kitkat 4.4.2. Is there an upgrade?
I should also point out that I would be totally OK using any ROM as this Tablet will not use any phone line from AT&T going forward. It will be mounted on the wall for Home Automation with just Wifi. So killing the AT&T crap software and giving me simple KitKat would be totally ok.
Any help guys here?
Thanks in advance.

No luck

Doesn't look like anybody is working on this.
Let me phrase the question then differently. The I497 is from AT&T. The same or similar hardware is also provided by other phone companies or even better there are same or similar hardware versions out there without the mobile SIM card option going with simply WiFi.
Does anybody know which KitKat ROM I can install on my I497 to get it from Jellybean to KitKat even if that means I will have a Vanilla KitKat and also might loose my SIM card option? I just need WiFi on that tablet and that's it.
I am open for suggestions guys. Thanks.

I'm also wondering as well

[Q] Verizon Prepaid Galaxy s3 custom Rom flash

I have the Verizon Samsung Galaxy s3 the prepaid version which is the I535PP and I've rooted it using towelroot and have flashed bootstrap recovery. Its still on 4.3. I accidentally deleted the SDM.apk file and can't upgrade to kit Kat. Has anyone had any luck flashing a tw 4.3 rom to this version and get it to boot or maybe have the stock firmware or the SDM.apk file for tw 4.3?

I have the SDM.apk, I have no idea why I kept it however. You can indeed flash a 4.3 TW rom only if your on ML1 on 4.3
From my Wicked S3 on SOKP

I got mine yesterday.. its on 4.3 sdm downloaded kitkat but i rooted with towelroot and froze sdm I know 4.4 is extremely locked down and towelroot nor any other method works to root the 535pp on 4.4... any development with 535pp yet? Carbon rom?

No development at all with the pp version
From my CM11 S3

I really hope I am not holding off for no reason.. is 4.3 any less locked than 4.4? I hope by not going to 4.4 they come out with a custom recovery for 4.3. If its locked either way then I would way rather be on 4.4 once they have a way to root this phone kicks ass so far! I had a sch-i535(lte) on VZW prepaid network and had access to the 4g network and they gave me a sim for free, but this 3g only phone keeps reception better and loads pages faster(no switching back and forth between 3-4g) It was well worth $150 at walmart

They are both locked as you know, 4.3 just had more TW roms available. Nice price also. The only recovery available for either locked bootloader is safestrap
Towelroot works for the 4.4.2 NE1 build as far as I know. If they send anymore updates beyond that root will more than likely be lost though
From my CM11 S3

There is no NE1 build for the 535pp i believe.. I could be wrong but I think the firmware is totally different

Your right it very well may be, I don't have the pp version so to be honest I was just going by what I already know
From my CM11 S3

I cant wait until they sell enough of these for it to be popular enough to develop and hopefully 4.3 can really be developed

I'm leaning towards it not being in development as most people don't use the prepaid version for the point of rooting it and using custom roms. Your more than likely out of luck
From my CM11 S3

Can someone provide me with contact info of some devs that I can contact that may take the project up? I think the phone will gain popularity now that verizon prepaid is not highway robbery anymore.. $45 a month unlimited talk/ text 1gb data and can buy extra 3gb packages for cheap that instantly start working when the 1gb is over.. I recently just started seeing the phone for sale so it is fairly new release. I may be able to talk whoever into working on it. Who do I contact to get a "Verizon Prepaid SCH-I535PP" board in the main index?

Look around the VZW S3 development forums, I'd look for threads that are somewhat up to date as far as posts and look for the OP (original poster)
From my CM11 S3

I recently pick this phone up with the intent to flash it to straight talk(my current provider). Since the st gs3 is at least 100 dollars more it was a bargin. I was successful flashing over to st. voice, text, mms and data work flawlessly.
Im just curious if anyone has had any luck finding or devolping any kind of roms for it. I realize there is a small crowd for these phones but I can see its popularity will increase a little bit. I held out on the ota as well and stuck with 4.3 w/ towelroot and safestrap.

I'm nearly sure there won't be any development for the prepaid version. The contract version is the only one that would be in development going forward at this point

Bought a used d850, got a few questions

Hi. Bought a used d850, got a few questions.
I'm running lollipop 5.0.1. Is there any way to upgrade to marshmellow without an at&t sim? If no, what's the best way to get a sim if I'm located in canada?
Secondly, how do I go about rooting this thing? How stable is the most stable marshmellow rom that exists for the phone?
Cheers.

CyanogenMod is your best bet for stability now and no you don't need a sim card. Just Google rooting 5.0.1 and once rooted your good to flash CyanogenMod 6.0, you HAVE TO FLASH 6.0 GAAPS with it as well. Google all this and you'll do well, good luck!

Got a bunch of outdated results when I googled "rooting d850 5.0.1", any chance you can link me to an up to date guide?
Also, how stable is the latest cyanogenmod 6.0 when compared to stock android 5.0.1 that I'm running right now? How stable is cyanogenmod compared to lg based roms? What's the most stable lg based rom?
Also, some other questions. Is the d850 missing any features that the other lg g3 variants have? How do I go about making those features work?

Well I'm on an lgg3 850 running CyanogenMod 6.0 it's stable. If you like stock rom then stay with stock. Not sure if you could OTA without a sim card though.

I don't need at&t sim card if im getting cyanogen mod, right? Can i root my 5.0.1 without sim? What lg features are missing on your cyanogenmod? Can you double tap to unlock and double tap to lock?

No there is not sadly. Cheapest way is a go phone sim or H2O sim if you can get ahold of one.
There's no root for MM.

Yes, just won't have the LG phone or any of the LG apps, CyanogenMod has plenty though, YouTube CyanogenMod. No there's no root for MM you'd have to flash back to Lollipop gain root then flash CyanogenMod after you root Lollipop. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3249803

Sry if im taking longer to understand this than usual, its my first time.
So if I want LG's Marshmellow, I have to get my hands on an at&t sim and that way I'll never have root access. The other way is to downgrade to kitkat, get root access, then get android 6.0 cyanogenmod/fulmics. Is that a correct understanding?
What features of lg get disabled with cyanogenmod/fulmics? Does the camera work fine? Does the battery life last as long as stock?
Also, another question i couldnt find an answer to - does my d850 have qi wireless charging? Can it get qi wireless charging?
Cheers.
