Droid Forum Support...

This may not be the right topic to post in.. however, I was looking through all of XDA and I didn't see a list / sub category for the Motorola Droid (its not the Eris version)
Does anyone know of a forum that is heavily used as this one is?
My girlfriend picked one up so I'm trying to help her tweak it and root.

Not many forums out there that are heavily based on droid alone(of my intelligence of course)... Try this guide http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f60/root-your-droid-32749/#post299661 btw giving a non-tech savvy person root, not a good idea .

Are phones from different carriers more dev friendly?

Verizon seems to prevent people at great length from tampering with their phone, as I've learned from my brothers' S4.
AT&T M8 section has 2 Roms already, with a third being ironed out.
And I know many of the devs here have vast knowledge with the Sprint HTC phones with tons of experience.
Does AT&T just make it easier to develop for? Or, do the others just try harder to make it difficult, even though HTC has unlocked the boot loader for all their phones?
I've never understood this.

I think what it comes down to is, what the developers actually have. The International M8, AT&T version have a bigger following I guess. The only one I have been reading that was difficult for Verizon as they superglued the bootloader. Many devs in the Intl forum eventually support Sprint variants. They just iron out their own variants first. I do hear the partitions are the pretty much the same for Intl, AT&T, T-mobile and Sprint. mike1986 believes his ROM should work for the Sprint variant but im not that brave yet to make sure. LOL

I'm in no hurry. There is a honeymoon period with a new phone for me.
I was just curious as to why different carriers tend to make you jump through hoops.
I guess the WiFi tethering is a good example?

His 3.0 did not work on sprint, but I see he has a 3.1 I will give that one a try right now, it looks like he completely reworked it.

Need help rooting note 5 sm-n920r please

Ok I've read this forum for days as well as many other misc. Sites found on google. I've seen tons of different recommendations and ways of rooting my 920r4. I've also noticed that the other carriers seem to have many more threads directed toward their models. Here's what I want for my phone... I just need to know which one is the best choice for my phone. I have seen the issues with deep sleep and random reboots/call reboots ect and honestly just want some feedback from you guys as to what will work best. I know this is the place I'll find it. Thanks a lot guys and gals,
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 sm-n920r4 (US Cellular)
Android 5.1.1
(If any more info is needed just let me know)

Just a bump to keep it near the top. Sorry but I really could use the advice of fellow us cellular note 5 users who have obtained root. Thanks in advance.

Well after more countless hours of searching I seem no closers to finding a way of rooting this device. Any help from the pros such as dr.Ketan or anyone who has a rooted 920r4 would be great. I just need a shove in the general direction.

I wish i could be of more help but i think you'll find you need someone who has a sprint rooted kernel to slightly adapt it to usc. Sprint and usc and extremely close in how their kernels and such work and in the general infrastructure design of their networks. Also see if there's anything on teamuscellular's forums.
I used to have usc and i always had the best luck working with sprint stuff with slight changes for usc....in the note 2 and 3 days....

Moto X XT1055 GSM

A couple days ago I set out on a mission to use my GSM sim card with my phone.
I found this guide *I'm a new user so I can't post the link XD, it's called "How to: Unlock GSM for Moto X 1st and 2nd gen US Cellular"*
I followed it exactly and I was able to make calls and texts....However no data. Which annoyed me. So, me being me, I decided to keep going until it stopped working :crying: I tried flashing it, flashing just the modem, I even looked into NV values, bands and whatnot myself. Being a programmer and having worked with hardware many many times in the past, it wasn't too difficult to understand. However, try as I might, I cannot get it to work again. It detects the SIM card, I see the number, and it even says I have voicemails.....However I have no signal. I'm completely puzzled. As far as I can tell from typing *#*#4636#*#* it is using GSM. and I tried many different ones. Any help is greatly appreciated. As of now, I also tried flashing a different kernel and then just decided to flash CM13 thinking maybe there was a lock in the kernel.....No luck.
EDIT: I don't think it necessarily makes a difference....But it might. I took an OTA update after flashing my phone originally. Then I followed the guide and it worked. Now when I flash my phone I can flash everything except gpt.bin since it blocks me from downgrading that. And I have tried updating to the same update again....it makes no difference.

Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Moto X Q&A for more relevant answers.
Good luck

Thanks. I was able to do research and was able to figure out why it wasn't working. I'm considering writing a thread with instructions on how to unlock the XT1055 for use with GSM bands since there doesn't seem to be much about it. I was originally trying to make it work with AT&T. but they discontinued GSM 850. My phone is supposed to be capable of WCDMA 1900 and so is AT&T, however, when I try this my phone enables and disables its radio repeatedly.....So, I'm not exactly sure what's going on with it.

I was told by a friend, that some of XT1055 are remarked 1056, 1060, and 1049. They can have GSM after a bit modding. But there are also TRUE XT1055, that can't have GSM at all, it's blocked completely.
There was described a dependance by serial number, but I forgot where I saw it, and can't find, sorry )

If you can share a guide to unlock 1055, pls, would be great to see. I have one non-GSM-achievable 1055 with "bad" serial number.

Yep. I think we won't hear more information from OP. True xt1055 (not labeled in utags as "xt1055") physically can't have GSM

The xt1055 is capable of gsm. If you look at what bands are supported it does support a few gsm bands. I'm not sure about the remarked thing. But several sources say it is capable. And I did get it to work. AT&T just happened to discontinue the band I used for their network right after I got it to work. Purely bad luck. The xt1055 has limited gsm bands. Didn't stop me from trying unsupported bands still xD didn't work of course. Interestingly the xt1055 is also supposed to capable of wcdma. But I couldn't get that to work at all

Yeah, I found some successful cases. But not every one gets GSM on 1055, even after following sophisticated guides, and looks like due to remarked thing. I'm still pessimistic.
Bumped up a small trick here, maybe it will help.

consequence of using FH method

I have used the FH method with success and updated my firmware to 9.0.0.171 global firmware. I have my bootloader unlocked and FRP unlocked too. There is currently no way for me ATM to revert back to my stock Optus 9.0.0.122 firmware so I am now stuck on the global firmware till an update comes for it.
The issues I currently am having on this global firmware is a big delay in the phone connecting when I try to make a phone call. It either cuts out or I have to wait like 20 secs for it to connect to the call and start ringing.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with the modem/radio and it being a global region firmware.
The consequence of flashing using the FH method in my opinion would be the lack of firmware support and it being not available to revert back to your original stock firmware.
The upside is I can now flash stock firmware img files through fastboot when better firmwares become available.

Similar sort of situation.. Did the same via FH method to 171 firmware.. Tried to revert back to at least 146 or 122.. Was on a Lya-l29 9.0.0.126 (AUSC636) Rom.. Have tried revert to earlier firmware via FH with no luck and have also tried via SD method with no luck.
Not having the same radio / modem call issues though.. My only reason for wanting to revert back to earlier rom was due to Google Play Certification not on the 171 rom as yet.
Someone at FH did mention that a modification Server Side End might work but am waiting to hear back on that one.

How is there absolutely no way to downgrade the firmware? Can't it be done in erecovery? What happens if you try, does it just give a error message or brick? I'm having issues as well I was with Optus 122 and went to 171 and I'm having 4g issues it flicks to emergency calls only sometimes.. as well as some of the Huawei apps weren't there when I installed the firmware had to download them all again...

Have tried the Erecovery method but all getting are package not available errors.. Have even tried mixing up preload packages with base packages and tried to flash that way with no luck.. Haven't managed to brick phone thankfully
---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------
So Souljasteve and pafc66.. You have an optus branded single Sim model I'm guessing.. Same hardware as the dual Sim but I'd be thinking there would be a different radio/modem img asside base firmware mods that convert it to single Sim.. So theoretical resolution would be to flash a radio / modem img from a single Sim build onto the 171 build as perhaps the 171 global image didn't touch the radio when it was flashed?

Hmm would that modem file be available anywhere and how's that done? Sorry new to this.. used to flashing Samsung roms

I agree. I emailed them and they are stating it's not possible at the moment...would of been good to know this before advertising this method. What issues are you having?

All credits to FH tho for establishing the method and making successful, I say now we just need to wait for a higher firmware to come out for your region then we just flash it over 171. I'm having no issues at all ATM on 171 the only issue I would say is battery drain but it's not a big deal of concern to be honest

We've enabled downgrading server-side. It's been tested, but only on EVR-L29 (Mate 20 X) so someone brave will need to try with the Mate 20 Pro. You'll still see C432, but you can downgrade to 9.0.0.122.
Just select the version you want from the LYA-Global section, then do the normal method.

I've said my piece on this in the other thread, the bottom line is without an absolute rock solid way to revert to pure stock everything you tread a very dangerous path. I would go further and say that having done what you did without a method to fall back to stock, I would hope you did so fully understanding the implications. If you did, you don't have the right to complain if your phone explodes in your face, and if you didn't, you are a fool.

So do you know if OTA will function after downgrading back to 122.. Like has this been tested on your EVR-L29?
BTW I'm not ungrateful as you guys do the work and providing a method to upgrade in first place.. I'm happy with 171 but just either need to wait for Google to play certify or downgrade and hope for the best ?

Is the C432 firmware designed for single SIM ?
My original firmware was LYA-L09-CUST 9.0.0.122(C34) is that what you meant? Can I just download the LYA-L09-CUST 9.0.0.10(C34)? I'm currently on the global 171 firmware? Whats worse case scenario , brick? Lol

As a "senior member" on XDA why the sudden paranoia over modifying an Android phone? Which is what XDA members have been doing for as long as XDA has been around?
It sounds like you either read a lot of Trump tweets and have an underlying political agenda, work for a Huawei competitor like One Plus or possibly just ran out of meds.
Do you even own a Mate 20 Pro? If not there is no legitimate reason for you to be making any posts in these threads.

Probably just a typical American drinking their Kool aid.

Are you guys for real? You are paying money to unlock your phone, which by itself was something that links to which were banned here not that long ago. It goes against everything XDA stands for. You have no way of reverting back to stock, you are possibly already trapped into a situation where you may never be able to even flash any future builds, and you are very much at the mercy of the people who have already gouged you. Yeah, XDA is all about 'taking risks', but not those risks.
It isn't me warning about Huawei spying, in fact the entire witch hunt is laughable. It isn't even Trump, but by all means throw an Orange Man Bad! grenade in every direction. It is the American media, at the behest of their masters. Look at this 'journalism' as an example:
https://nypost.com/2018/12/22/how-arrest-of-chinese-princess-exposes-regimes-world-domination-plot/
Huawei products *are* getting banned around the world, countries are bowing under the pressure daily. Attack me, though. I must be a 'Trump supporter'? Seriously?
I'm making this post from my Canadian carrier Mate 20 Pro, does that make it okay for me to point out the laughable irony of you guys paying money for a one off hack with zero fallback and then posting about serious issues with carrier handshakes from day one?
This isn't a $200 phone you guys are throwing this dubious hack at. You aren't brave pioneers, leading the charge. No one will be developing full root for a handful of people who paid unethical hackers for a crude jerry-rig on a phone that is heavily dependent on extremely niche localized firmware.
What's next, demands to have the Pixel camera app support the triple Leica's? Hey, I want root/Magisk on my phone more than anyone, but what you guys have done is akin to giving your child to kidnappers and then signing up for a monthly ransom. Don't worry, this will be the last post I make in any thread discussing paid unlocks.
