Touch Pro 2 USCC

Which tp2 version is the same as the tp2 on USCC? I want to get a case but since uscc just got it they don't have cases specifically for uscc. So I'm trying to figure out which one is the same on the other carriers.
It looks like this

Just curious how many other people on here have the tp2 from uscc?

is that us cellular??

USCC TP2
I was told that the Verizon and Sprint version cases will work.
Have not confirmed it yet.
I also have the USCC TP2, LOVE THIS PHONE!!! Currently trying to tweak it to my eye candy.
Have not flashed it yet, but working myself up to it. Will be the first time for me ever flashing. Trying to get as much info before I jump.

My brother has a USCC touch pro 2 and I have the Sprint touch pro 2. I can verify that both of these devices are of the identical size. His has a blue background on the battery cover where as mine has a gold background. He has tested by belt case without any problems. Good luck! They are great phones.

Haha its not so bad. Once you do it you wont want to stop. I haven't flashed this phone yet I probably won't for a while until the newness wears off lol.

USCC Stock Rom??
Does anyone have the Stock ROM from USCC? I am currently running the NRGPhoton ROM but it would be nice to have the stock ROM if I ever have to take it in to the store for something. I know I should have backed up mine but I literally took it out of the box turned it on, unlocked it and Flashed it. I was way too excited. Anyway, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i just got my uscc tp2 after switching from a tp, i notice that they each have something better than the other tp1 much better multitasker memory always registered at only 35% at startup tp2 is at like 55% at startup but still i love it using my old ppc 6800 leather case for my tp2 and it fits like a dream so if have one of those cases try it, it works great, however i notice that the clock for some reason keeps switching itself back to usa eastern time from my central us setting havent figured that out yet. and also opera 9.7b seems to make my phone freeze up and uses all my free ram so i quit using it but iris browser and opera10 work great with it. Opera10 is one of my favs.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I have been looking everywhere for the stock ROM for the USCC TP2. The link at this PPCG page is dead, if you connect to their FTP directly and browse the USC file they have is only 67MB and will not extract.
I have dumped the partitions of my stock ROM, if someone can help me with making it into a flashable image I would be more than happy to share.

Sensation Not As Great

Hey I'm new to posting here but not new to android phones and I have got to say I think that the HTC Sensation is a huge let down in alot of areas. Im comig from a heavily modded rooted and unlocked Samsung Vibrant. I find myself regretting purchasing this phone.
HTC Cons
It Freezes alittle too much for a dual core without being rooted and with saying that the premissions have not been messed with.
Its taking a long time for HTC to send the unlock update.
The sorta indestructable glass has allready scratched.
The 4g serice rarely ever comes in and I live in the city.
The Wifi calling is horrible.
Overall not worth getting and I have yet to see a Team Whiskey Rom advertised I may return this phone to T Mobile.
I may just wait and purchase a samsung galaxy s2
I just had high hopes but have been seriously disappointed

Thanks for your stunning insight and valuable contribution to the forum. Did you not watch the video?

I think you should stick around. We got temp root a couple of days ago. I also came from a heavily rooted MT4G, I get the itch all the time. Good things come to those who wait I haven't had any of the problems you mentioned...maybe try exchanging the phone?

Ok...

It bothers me when someone has been around this long and their first and only post is something like this.
Let me guess...no other device has given you any type of issues.

I cant even find the software to unlock the phone.

Posts like this makes me wonder if you even had a " heavy rooted modified Vibrant" WOW!

This post should be removed

I did have a modded Samsunf Vibrant using Team Whiskeys Rom. I sold it on ebay in hopes I was on paper getting a better phone.

TBH after using the Sensation (From a Desire HD) I am also a bit disapointed.
Oh well, there is always HTC nxt phone, which will be running Ice Cream, and will hopefully be an upgrade, not a stopgap like the Sensation.

Good yall don't like the phone ,you can leave now

You had a Samsung Vibrant and you are complaining about the Sensation, SERIOUSLY? You were able to deal with all the issues with the Vibrant and you are unhappy after having the phone for a few weeks, REALLY? I really don't get it when people complain about a phone because the one that they had before was better, especially when all their complains were documented in every single respectable blog (including this one), before the phone came out.
We root our phones because we don't like stock roms, so you have to options: 1. be patient, as you were with your vibrant or 2. return the phone and stop complaining.

I really hate this phone right now!!!!!!HELP

Hello,
I recently switched to my first android phone from an iphone and I hate it right now. I am currently trying to update it to 2.3.3 but it won't work for some reason. The phone shuts off randomly, and the wifi connects but does not send data to my phone so i can't use wifi. Above all of that, the phone is really plain, and is does not appeal. Can somebody PLEASE help me with any of the above problems, and maybe even show me some UI's that would be good for this phone, like a Sense for it. I know nothing about android and I am really frustrated, and do not want to sell this phone.

Root it. Download mui rom and use iphone theme. Works well and looks great.

Do you have any fixes for the wifi, or the unexpected shut off? I'm trying to update it but having a hard time seeing as how my wifi wont work.

You shouldn't need wifi to update. Download all the files on your computer and flash them using nvflash.

The best thing to do is root, than download MIUI and youll love the phone, you can make it look exactly like an iphone 4s , or anything you ever wanted to

Yup, root it and you can do miracles with miui and even cm7....

I too came from an iPhone, and I had the wifi problem on the g2x too, where it's connected, but it's stuck. I was extremely frustrated, and want to throw the phone against the wall.
I ended up rooting it (super easy to do), after you've done that, you'll be able to flash a new ROM on to it. I use Weapon, which is based on the stock LG gingerbread release. It's super stable, fast, and best of all, no WiFi problem, at all!
I don't get this, if the developers on XDA can crank out these nice ROMs that are more battery efficient, fast, and with less issue, what is wrong with LG? You'd think that they have more resources than the developers here!

In our family there's 3 G2x phones, none rooted since everyone likes the vanilla Android that came on them. All 3 have been rock-stable with no issues with wifi, etc. Not the greatest build quality, but so far trouble-free. No significant complaints or need to root for ordinary use.
From HTC G2 with xda premium.

You don't even need to root. Just nvflash ClockworkMod and flash a custom rom.
(This is the right way to do it)
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

Wait a minute...did you buy this phone new? If you did, from where? My ex-wife and I both got this phone in early September and it came with 2.3.3 pre-installed. If you don't want to deal with ROMs, just take it to a t-mo store (and actual store, NOT a kiosk...all the idiots work in kiosks, lol). They should have no problems doing it for you.

Whoa not real sure why my original post was posted here. Could a mod delete this please?

Exactly. The updater killed my phone too and I'm not a noob (am I? lol)
LG has a crappy updater. I ended up having Tmobile replace my dead one (THANKS LG!) with one that was pre-updated.
Probably what I would recommend doing if you don't feel like taking the 15% of successfully flashing GB on it the right way. Mine was stuck on the LG Updater Screen. Just call Tmobile and say it won't do anything. The LG updater app said it was already running the latest version and wouldn't continue.
It's a known problem. Then BAM... new phone with it pre-installed. The full update process takes HOURS. Transfers at super slow speeds. LG Updater also changes the version numbers on your phone FIRST, so if it fails, it's hosed.
Rule of thumb LG, never change version numbers until the phone was successfully flashed and verified.
The G2x is geared more for seasoned Android vets, so it isn't anyone's fault. It's a sweet phone though. I did successfully fix the "Update of Death Loop" aka UoDL by doing a FULL NVFLASH install of GB. The how-to is in this forum somewhere.

Is rooting worth it?

Hi everyone, i got the razr hd from fido a few days ago. It's also my first android device. It came stocked with a bunch of bloatware that i would like to remove, and apparently the only ways it can be done is by rooting the device. I also got the warranty from future shop, and i don't want to void it. Does rooting the device void the warranty and if it does, can it be reset like the ipad when jailbroken? Also what are the risks of rooting the device, and what are the benefits? And if i do root my device can i still update it with jellybean whenever it is released in the next year? Thanks for replying with any help.

Titanium Backup is a good reason to root your device. The root method I used, was an exploit available on xda, so afaik if you restored factory defaults no one would know you've rooted the device, so you shouldn't have to worry about warranty. You don't need to unlock the bootloader or do any of those kinds of warranty voiding mods.
You've made a great choice for your first android device. I think this phone is impeccable, one of the first things I loved about it over every other droid I've owned, is that its THE most superior phone I have ever used, call quality, reception, etc, are all second to none. This phone makes calls were others cannot. I have been waiting years for a smartphone that I can truly rely on and the Razr HD (finally) is THAT phone... Motorola are the unsung heroes as far as I'm concerned! It embarrases my old S3 and Lumia 920.
Also, I got JellyBean OTA 2 days ago from Telstra. Hopefully you don't have to wait but to answer your question, I got root when using ICS, then used Voodoo Rootkeeper to keep root after upgrading to JB. I highly recommend reading the associated tutorial.

Try disabling those apps you don't want to see. Go to settings - > apps then scroll to all and select the app you want to disable. There will be a disable button if the carrier didn't lock it out.

Rooting is worth it.
Before JB comes out you can download custom roms (if they are available) and most of the time those custom roms are faster, got super awesome improvements and are just better.
You can also just download stock roms (same as official)
Apps that worth it:
Titanium backup
SetCPU
Lucky Patcher
And many more
Rooting is absolutely a awesome thing.
But be carefull!

Rooting is totally worth it. For all the reasons mentioned above and many more that you'll soon read about here in the forums I'm sure.
BUT... Rooting WILL void your warranty.

Yep, but if you use your phone normal and dont trow it and stuff like that you are okay.

Ha, I agree with you. I rooted mine 2 months after owning it and didn't care about the warranty. The OP asked though, so I answered Sounded like he/she paid extra for a warranty, so wanted him/her to know that it would be wasted money paying for the extra warranty if they rooted.
You never know, some people go buckwild crazy changing and deleting things after rooting when they don't know what they're doing and end up with a very expensive paper weight, thinking that their warranty will save them. Nope. Sorry. Thanks for playing.

Here's my advice...
Is everything working on the phone as you need? If it is, you probably don't need to root it. I had my last 2 phones rooted and my tablet its also rooted, but there is a lot more management and a lot more stuff can go wrong on a rooted phone.
I'm actually living on a non-rooted phone right now, and have disabled all of the Rogers bloat apps I don't use. The phone is fast as heck and my battery lasts a good while, so there isn't much I feel that I need to tweak.
I have rooted in the past in order to get additional functions (like tethering, better signal) of the phone up and running on my carrier, because I didn't but a phone that was offered by Rogers. Unless you have an exact reason to root, don't bother just.

Unless there is something that you need that requires root, no IMHO.
The stock ROM works very well. You can get rid of 90% of the bloat without rooting, through the stock app manager. You can backup and restore all your apps with Astro File Manager, which does not require root. Saves all the APK's to the SD card and if you had to factory reset the phone, just install Astro and restore all your apps. Although, most apps should install automatically from Google anyway.
Until I see a ROM that offers a substantial benefit over stock, I am just leaving it alone... The phone runs great as is, and the peace of mind of not having to worry about messing it up or having a warranty issue is nice.
I do my rooting and ROMs on my Nexus 7.

I would think that anyone that considers themselves a power user, would benefit from rooting.
My two reasons(besides the ones mentioned):
Tasker and Avast. With avast it can hide the installation better and on a lower level.

Help:Is Verizon samsung s7 g930v rootable?

Hi
i have a spare phone that i decided to use.its a Verizon Samsung S7 7.0 version sm-g930v with build # nrd90m.g930vvru4bqh4.
Question is i would like to root this phone,anyone know the correct way to do for this version and bypass knox and debloating?thanks.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/development/easyroot-unroot-t3859755 is how I did it.

I used this page and tool/firmware and got better results for my g930vl than the verizon page.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/development/easyroot-unroot-t3859760
Second I was able to flash this supercool Oreo rom ,L s7, after using S7_S7E_ROOT_UNROOT_ADB_TOOLS.7z
to get twrp up,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/development/project-l-s7-google-samsung-oreo-rom-t3837509
So I used twrp
wiped/formated
Sent the root.zip S7_S7E_ROOT_UNROOT_ADB_TOOLS's has and also the L S7 rom file to my phone while in TWRP.
Installed progect L S7' Rom and root.zip together in one function (I have no sdcard and wanted a clean install of L-s7.)
tHE FACK IS i INSTALLED THE ROOT.ZIP IN "systemless mode"
I installed https://androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=Safestrap-4.09-B01-GREATQLTE.apk (about the closest build to my s7,; it's actually 4 s8.)
and installed recovery from safestrap app.
used the safestrap app to reboot to "safestrap"
S7_S7E_ROOT_UNROOT_ADB_TOOLS is the most collest little app and made by ,jrkruse, https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1949695
L-s7 prodject is A nice Splices Oreo/PIE OS, but now since THE bootloader has been Rooted, I get sail my Pirates's Phone with a boot.img and it's not glitchy as of now.

Hmm... A lot of that is going over my head right now...
I have a G930V that I am trying to breathe new life into. Can I use the above info. to root it and at least get rid of the Verizon bloat that is on the phone? I am not opposed to going with a different ROM, but I never had a problem with stock except for all the Verizon stuff that I can't get rid of...
Considerations:
This phone is now being used on Cricket. Not sure if that will have any impact, but wanted to mention it... Maybe a custom ROM would fix the problem of every incoming call has "+" on the front of the number making the phone think it is an international call...
I don't believe that I am using Knox, or have used it in the past. I would know if I was using it right?
I use the Samsung Pay option to emulate credit card swipes. As far as I know, that only works with Samsung Pay? I would like that to continue to work.
Please dumb down things as much as possible for me! I haven't really done much with rooting and custom ROMs since I had a few Galaxy Nexus phones that I was playing with...
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance!

Your reply is not that recent, but...
I have been continuing to use this Verizon S7 on Cricket for a little over 2 years now. It has been sluggish since I never got around to doing what I mentioned above, but it worked. The phone still looks flawless as I have been good with screen protectors etc.
I was using the phone today and had just clicked on a video embedded on m.facebook.com (I refuse to load their app...) and my phone rebooted. And kept on rebooting, only getting as far as the Verizon screen a couple of times. Lots of Googleing today has taught me how to:
Get into Maintenance Boot Mode
Normal boot keeps me in the boot loop
Factory Reset takes me to a black screen that says "Recovery Booting...." in blue letters at the top and most of the time goes no further.
Sometimes it will now show a blue screen that says Erasing or Installing Update (or something to that effect) now that I have been using Odin to flash factory ROMs.
Safe Mode will usually get me to the Galaxy S7 splash screen with "Recovery Booting...." in blue letters at the top, but not always. The phone with usually sit on that screen for a number of seconds with the Blue LED on constantly and then reboot.
Power Down will shut down the screen, but the Blue LED stays lit constantly.
I have only been able to get into the recovery menu twice. Now when I use Home+Up+Power I see "Recovery Booting...." in blue letters at the top. It will hang there for a number of seconds, then reboot to the same screen repeatedly.
I have been trying to get to that menu to clear the cache after flashing the factory firmware.
I have learned how to use Odin
Although I am not sure if it is best to use the most recent version that I found (3.13.1) or a "patched" older version that I found included with one of the factory firmware options that I have tried.
I have flashed factory firmware
I have tried to flash the most recent Verizon firmware from here (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s7/firmware/SM-G930V/#SM-G930V), and most of the time the transfer says it is successful, but the boot looping continues.
I also tried the Cricket firmware that I found here (https://tinyurl.com/5nhsmeam). It was also mentioned here in this forum, but I have lost that page at this point. Again, most of the time the transfer is successful, but the phone will not boot completely.
I tried to instal TWRP recovery (from here - https://dl.twrp.me/herolte/), but it fails every time that I have tried to install it from Odin.
I am at a loss of what to do next... At this point I can look at installing another ROM if that would get this thing running. I just need it to run on Cricket (even though it is a Verizon phone).
I appreciate all help and suggestions and would ask that you "dumb it down" as much as possible for me please! I have not done anything with custom ROMS since playing a lot on my Droid X, Droid X2, and a number of Galaxy Nexus phones. A lot has changed since then!!
