Via unlock, I am on TMobile network, running 2.2 on captivate (AT&T locked) with cognition v2.3. I want to upgrade to cognition 4.1.

Assuming reverse logic is true, you should be fine.
I have a vibrant that is unlocked from TMO and it has been upgraded and downgraded so many times is scary and still works fine.. As long as you unlocked before you upgraded to 2.2 your /efs data should get converted (the unlock gets converted as well) when you install your first 2.2 rom.

[Q] Possible to revert Bell IncS back to stock without RUU (radio and kernel intact)

Hi,
If I have a brand new Bell Incredible S with stock Froyo ROM. I want to flash CM7 on it along with the recommended radio, but I also want the ability to completely revert back to stock in the future.
From what I understand there is no RUU for Froyo for this device and nandroid does not backup kernels or radios. That said, is there any way for me to revert the device back to stock Froyo (kernel/radio included) later on or is a GB RUU the best I can do?
Thanks,
Mark

Once you flash a GB ROM/radio combination, you will not be able to go back to any Froyo Rom/radio. You cannot flash an older Froyo radio over a GB radio, even with an official RUU.

Thanks for the info. I can still use a GB RUU to revert to purely stock GB device? Anyone done this on a bell Incs?

Yes I had a Bell Mobile Froyo and have upgraded it to the WWE GB ROM/radio.

[Q] XXJVS Bootloader with CM7

Hi,
Currently, I have GB bootloader with lastest CM7 nightly 104#.
1. I was wondering if flashing XXJVS would install a newer or updated GB bootloader.
2. Is there a tool to compare bootloaders before flashing?
Thanks

Not much difference between all GB bootloaders. Only Froyo and GB differ more

[Q] Is this bootloader information correct?

[UPDATED]
Bootloaders...
1. i9000 was launched with Éclair so the bootloader was of course an Éclair bootloader?
My answer: Yes (Or a Froyo one... before Froyo came out).
2. People who upgraded to Gingerbread from Éclair without upgrading via Kies had to flash a Gingerbread bootloader via Odin?
My answer: Yes, unless flashing different rom complete with a bootloader.
3. Flashing ANY rom wont change the bootloader? Like CyanogenMod.
My answer: No, some rom's do come complete with a bootloader like stock or stock based ones. But CyanogenMod does not.
4. I'm running CM9... does that mean I have an Ice Cream Sandwich bootloader now?
My answer: No, the Gingerbread bootloader is more than capable.
Are my own answers correct?
I'm so confused by different things I've read off the net... please please someone put my mind to rest! I'm writing a few BIG guides and kinda came unstuck when I got to this subject lol.

No cyanogenmod packages come with bootloaders. I don't think that cwm will flash them. I think you need Odin or Heimdall to flash bootloaders. Unless you flashed a package that had bootloaders, you should still be on gb bootloaders, which work for just about everything.

1. Idk that was along time ago lol
2. If you update with Odin factory images, it always contains the boot loader.
3/4. Flashing custom ROMs use the gingerbread bootloader, and do not change it ever.

Flash ATT S5 to Tmobile

Can I flash a rooted Galaxy S5 with OF3 baseband version to Tmobile stock ROM by using Odin? I keep hearing that ATT Galaxy S5 has a locked bootloader but how does that stop it from using Odin to flash my own modem and baseband. Is it not possible?
I found all the modem, baseband, and ROMs for Tmobile at this location.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../compilation-s5-g900t-stock-firmware-t3042400
Update: bought the phone full price 1.5 years ago so does that mean I have a locked bootloader or can I install any custom ROM?

No you can not flash the T mobile bootloader. Odin can flash a bootloader if the bootloader is unlocked only. Yes your OF3 has a locked bootloader as this phone has always had it locked and no one has been able to unlock it. No you can not install any custom rom. If you want a T mobile rom you will most likely need to port it to your phone (no i don't know how) best to stick with AT&T roms if you don't know how to port.

@Rakuu i started to put it back on my phone but not sure if i wanna deal worth the trouble shooting of a lot of things again. Did you ever get it running smooth on the 900a? My 900t needs a new screen right so I've been running my 9p0a on TMS5 3.0.

I was running it for a while, but I switched to tms5 as well, can't remember exactly why but I think I was having issues with xposed. Couldn't live without the darkness theme though so I kinda 'ported it'(decompiled the systemui and stuff and used tms5 apks as base).

I've been running both TMS5 and Twi5ted for a while (Android 5.0). I've had on-going annoying issues with both. TMS5 freezes quite often, and Twi5ted will randomly reboot. Is there a way to install (Odin) a stock Rom (i.e. from here) and stay rooted, or flash one and re-root? If so, could I install the 5.1.1 version or stay on 5.0? I just realized as well that, with Twi5ted being based on TMobile, it shows my model number as G900T vs. the original G900A.
Thanks.
