[Q] 2.2 android....... metropcs?

looking for a droid 2.2 custom rom that works with metropcs i have tried simple,zen,fusion, but once i did the droidflasher program for the wap.mms i got noting... I currently have smokedglass v6.0 with an adamz kernel and everything is working...web...mms....market...etc. i know that i need one with iptables so i was wondering if anyone out there knows of one that works or even just a push in the right direction, not looking for free answers just a little help. thanks!

hey dude i had the same problem i tried bugles beast and nothing... i also have the droid flash from too n cain and that didnt help at all for 2.2 kinda sux that the program is useless with 2.2 so i tried a bunch of stuff and the one that worked for me was sapphire-1.1.0-droid also instead of using the droid flash i used the nv u get from white rabbit as soon as i loaded the nv files i got the 1x thing after that i had to use anycut to get internet. so now i have internet but no mms. funny thing is that i am trying to flash another droid with the same things and no luck getting the 1x but i hope it helps u. also set up with qpst that helps n remember to use the spc

Yea that kinda sets me on the right path I will see what I can and and try to get that one working with mms thanks man!

I'd go with CM7 as a first rom. it works well, and is pretty fast.

have to agree with dragoon there, just starting out go with CM 7.0.3 or 7.1.0. easy to flash ,theme and tweek. good for a starter.

Well Ive had a rooted phone before. This is actually a down grade from what I had which was the MyTouch 4G. I used CM7 on that and loved it so I might have to give it a shot.

G1 highest official update help...

Hello...well my daughter has a g1 that I bought her second hand and she does not have a data plan, but that's not the problem...she has done something to her phone..idk what...but it has reverted back to factory 1.6...since she doesn't have a data plan I can't get past the Google sign in page because 1.6 doesn't give you the option to connect to wifi first. And if I hit the menu button it says wireless settings but there is no option foe wifi...so we are stuck... I just wanted to know if someone could post an ruu 2.1 or whatever for the g1 so I can connect to wifi first to get her phone running. Yes it would probably be easier to buy a new one, but she really likes that phone and wants to keep it...and she's my baby so I'm trying to fix it...lol....help please...any help would be appreciated...thank you...

I'm not sure what will work for you since you didn't give much info beside the fact that you don't know what happened to the G1.
Try some of these roms. You might have to flash them sequentially to get to a stock donut. Look for the signed-kila roms... there are three that will take you to a stock donut.

I suppose you could flash back to rc29, sign in, flash the cupcake OTA, then the other two updates and have a donut.
If you are rooted, there is a shortcut...

Your daugther did the factory reset, that was what happens. The easiest way is to see if any of your friend, or her friends has a T-Mobile Plan with a data plan and borrow their SIM chip. Register the phone and you are done.
Another way is to get your daugther a data access from T-Mobile for a day use. And then register the phone.

@ dman3285 - You don't want to do that yet. If you do you might as well root the phone at the same time.

Agreed- if it's just a factory reset, then borrowing a sim card would be easiest.

[Q] Stuck in roaming

I have successfully rooted my phone and I have been successfully trying out some of the ROM's found here on xda. One thing I've noticed though is that every time I boot into any rom, I'm always stuck in roaming and I can't seem to get out.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm running LG Optimus 2X P990HN on FIDO network.

Weird. Roaming is supposed to be a network setting and is not made automagically by the rom. Are there chances you enabled it before the flash?

Nope, not that I'm aware of anyway, I wasn't in roaming before flashing and I wasn't in roaming after flashing back to original.
I'm stumped thus far :\

I just got my wife and I 2 brand new phones rooted and installed custom roms.. I know this is a radio issue cause its not picking up the fido network thus i have the same problem you do. Im trying to look into a different baseband as we speak.

I tried the newest baseband i could find to no avail. i tried punching in all my apn settings manually, nothing. I was able to connect and register on FIDO umts and gsm networks but it still said I was in roaming.
I was doing a bit of googling earlier and some ppl were saying that it's got something to do with many of the roms are running gingerbread and that the p990hn has no love for gingerbread atm. I just kinda skimmed but that's what I got from it.
I'm going to see try a froyo rom for the 2x and see if I encounter the same issue.

Wow that sucks... so we have to offically wait for them to release gingerbread?
---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------
"Of course you wont be charged more.
Just an FYI, you are ON the Fido network even if it says Rogers or roaming on rogers. When you roam outside of the Fido/Rogers network, on something like AT&T or T-Mobile, then you are roaming on a different network, not only that, you get a text message to remind you that you are on a foreign network. Hope this helps."
That was quoted from the fido forums.. so apparently its already on fido but because the coding is not right and no official gingerbread support its considered roaming but wont be charged extra money.. I wont be able to know until next month and even still its a risk.

Ok i confirmed this info i found on the net and it works fine.
"APN: internet.fido.ca
User: fido
Pass: fido
After calling Fido, it seems that using National Datat Roaming on the Rogers network is allowed, and there is no extra billing since it's what the Nexus has to do as well. Cool. I guess someone can close this if they want."
So I just put that info in and it works.. I can make calls and use data... make sure you click use data roam

[Q] Bricked my phone. Help please

Downloaded decrappified 1.1. Computer has a bad usb port and i think it disconnected before it was finished downloading. At this point the phone became stuck in cwm, so I erased user data and reset settings. The phone then said i had a bad sim card, but two replacements didnt fix it. I bypassed the sim card with up, down, search, home and the decrappified seemed to have flashed, but the phone now resets itself every 30 seconds or so.
I'd like to at least get this phone back to stock so i can take it in. been using my wifes old purple curve for the last 2 months. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

My wife told me if I bricked my phone, I would have to go back to using the Cricket Wireless phone we had. YUCK. "Again" she says as she is reading over my shoulder. Anyhow.... stay calm, all is fine. In the forums there is a way to fix it. The phone is unbrickable. LG thought of everything. So diagnose the issue, and look in the forums. You will probably need ADB and stock programming, you can search our forums for ADB and you should track it all down. If you run into issues you can go to IRC the channel we have there is #lgrevolution and someone might be there to help you. It took Cubed 5 minutes to fix my phone, but it took 5 hours for him to come on IRC. I will try to dig up somethings. But you will need ADB so go get that.

Yeah, that blackberry is one hell of a leap backwards, nevermind the comments i get for carrying a purple phone. Even the wife likes to poke fun.
Ive been looking through the archives some and not sure what route to go, not farmiliar with ADB but i'll start looking into that.

If you didn't make a back up, there is a nandroid in the the development section. When did you get your phone? How long ago did you root it? Do you have Froyo or Gingerbread? If you had Ginger, of course Mt is right, you would do the Gingervolt. But you gotta take it back to your stock to get rid of decrap. Most of your answers will be in the Development section of our forums.

I didn't make a back up, so that isn't an option. I rooted and then broke the phone 2 to 3 months ago, i am not sure if that was before gingerbread or not. I guess i'll search the development section for answers on getting back to stock.

I disagree. I Hard Bricked my Revo. Won't get into details as it's not important and I managed to find a local seller via Craigslist for same day replacement.
What happened is a flash occurred that should've failed, but didn't. The power button would no longer function and the 'failsafe' usb, no battery recovery method would not even work either. I would get a quick response when pulling the battery with USB plugged in, but then it would fail beyond that. Have since then destroyed the board due to some very private files located on internal board that were 'in transition' and couldn't chance being recovered by other parties for security purposes. I do, however, have a nice parts phone, such as screen, body, and battery cover.
Anyhow, moral to the story.. YES, the Revo CAN BE BRICKED!

Also, if it was closer to 3 months ago then it was going to be froyo, right? Find the v4 stock and flash that. I'd link the thread but I'm on my Revo. : /

I found a rooted stock rom posted by thecubed, currently downloading that to my sd card. Anyone see a problem using that? Also found some tot files for stock. I think i had ver 6, but my phone wont let me check. Does it make a difference which one I use if i go that route?

You are nit making this easy, lol. You should have the v6 version. I would go to the tot file. Also you would have had froyo, but after a month it should have updated to ginger bread. So go get the v6, then I would check phone status and see if there is an update. majority of us got the gingerbread update, if you don't there isinfo on how to do it. If you do, there is the one click tool kit that will get your phone rocked out.

Jeez, I know, I just took him at his word, no need to fight over it. Lol. When cubed told me it was unbrickable he said he did everything possible too, and the secret to fixing it was dependent on how the phone acted, what lights were on, what the screen did, because each one had its own fix. I had a mismatch md5 and it said in the instructions don't turn off your phone. I did and caused it to brick. But there was a section in our forum to fix that brick. And with cubes help and mt laughing at me,we got it fixed.

Got it unrooted and back to stock! The phone still resets itself every minute or so. Not sure if that is because I manually forced it past the sim card setup screen. Anyway, at least I can now take it into verizon. Thanks all for the help.

Glad to hear you're making progress. You may still want to go the ADB route and put zv6 on. I understand getting the Over The Air push upgrade to zv7 will then get you the upgraded radio. I haven't heard any other method for getting the radio.
I found my own noob way to brick a Revo, not in a good way.

That kind of makes no sense flash the v7 tot it will get you to gingerbread get rid of your reboot issue. Also I wouldn't take the phone to Verizon unless you don't have cwm recovery in your phone cause more than likely they are going to try And factory reset your phone which will then boot into cwm recovery. Either way you're going the long way about fixing that phone.

Old posts like these (below) lead me to believe the radio is only OTA. Of course it's old info and things may have changed. I didn't follow the TOT thread/s as closely since my phone behaved and did the OTAs fine. Realized I forgot there was a radio update on zv6. That's partly why I was paying attention to mentions of radio upgrades and it was taking a while to get root for zv6.

The radio is not inside the boot.img. It is stored in a different partition, and lg has done a fine job of covering it up, so it is difficult to tell.

My roms already had the update except for the updated radio and boot.img (kernel & ramdisk). I will update the boot.img in the roms, but lg has covered up the radio mount point, so the radio may have to be updated through the actual update.

Only other option will be to downgrade or ugrade using LGNPST. Or wait, one of the other Members is attempting to get the v7. Tot file then can just use LGNPST to upgrade.. or MTMichaelson will be posting Gingervolt some time today which will have everything except new radio.. that you need to flash through LGNPST or the OTA update.. the radio that is along with the firmware.
