[Q] Newbie question, please don't kill me!

So I had an old cyanogen mod flashed on my phone and nothing was going wrong. I think I flashed it in late November 2010, early December 2010. So I was fine with that and then I got bored. So I flashed the Dilli ROM and the market stopped working so I flashed to Serendipity and that's where the real problem started. Every time I would get a call, I would lose service automatically and the call would fail. I just thought it was a problem with the way I flashed it. So I then flashed the Phoenix ROM hoping that would fix the dialer problem but it didn't. I am currently on the newest phoenix ROM and I can download apps from the market, send and receive texts, make calls and even use the internet. The only thing I can't do is receive calls. I know when a call is coming because the phone starts to ring but before it shows me who is calling, it automatically loses service and fails the call. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Is there anything I can do? Any information would really help. Thank you!!

Have you tried flashing to stock?

You might need to flash to stock then flash a different rom

The fact that you flashed multiple roms without knowing how to flash back to stock is idiotic. Flashing back to stock is the one thing you should know how to do because it can save your phone.
Read this ENTIRE guide and follow it step by step or you will continue to run into the problems you are having. These anomalies cant be diagnosed by us because your phone probably has files from numerous roms on it by now. Flashing back to stock and using a master clear allows you to diagnose issues much easier.

Hey noob, how about next time you post in the CM7 sticky instead of opening a new thread?

Deleted
Because I'm an idiot

That's most likely the modem. Find out what modem CM7 uses and as long as it's the same base as you're using now (i9000/i897), find the CWM for that modem and flash it.

You call that a slam? Tearing him apart? You must be a liberal. The ROM-specific stickies are here for a reason. All these posts outside the stickies just make sharing that knowledge you speak of harder. Why is it so hard to comprehend that if there's a sticky with a dedicated subject that maybe that's where any posts on that subject should go? XDA is also about rules and they exist for the benefit of all.

Please use a search before opening a new thread or post rom questions in the provided Q&A rom thread.

Have a look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammar
and this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax
When you've read these two, come back and edit your post. You're very unlikely to get any sort of help if you post stuff the way you did.

So helpful in this thread, cheers

Your as same rude as we helpful. So maybe think about that.
It isn't hard to write carefully, even for silly people..
If you don't want help, put your phone in microwave and turn on - happy bricking... :-$

No luck for today, for any dev reading this you won't find write permissions on data partition and on data not even read permissions on /dev no way to flash a insecure boot.IMG can't get ADV restore to restore anything , no way to flash stuff , no user mode on adb and no way to get boot loader unlocked( needs key) if I can find someone with a official boot loader unlock with his device I can maybe find a way to guess how making a device password works that means you can get unlocked if I find that way also tried another methods and no way to do since even files on data partition don't have read permission so sorry guys but I will try again and again if necessary

[Q] Need help unlocking Exhibit sgh-t759 halfway done

Hello guys it's been a while since last time I enter this forum I came back because I need help unlocking an Exhibit sgh-t759.
I choose the method where you copy the nv_data file in the computer and that is where I'm stuck now.I have the file but don't know exactly where and what to look for.I can even send the file to someone who knows how to decipher the unlock code.Thanks in advance.

Someone misdirected you. This is the t679 forum.

I'm trying to sim unlock my exhibit sgh-t759to use on a prepaid carrier I already rooted the phone and have the nv_data.bin file on my pc . Im supposed to get the code out of that file by using a text editor or a hex editor but I tried both but don't know what or where exactly that number is.
I've included(I think) the bin file so maybe one of you guys can take a look and help me unlock the phone.Thanks.

It's alright just post whatever you find and no i will not try that I read some more and it doesn't seem to safe .

Ok that's what i got, I believe it should be an eight digit code so that eliminates most of that. The limit of trys you get to unlock is either 3 or 10 so... Hopefully i helped, good luck

OK too bad I guess using this won't work. In theory something like what is described is how it should work, but I guess our phone is storing that data elsewhere.

Hey i don't mean to be a party pooper or anything, but this is a publicly accessible forum on the internet, and unlocking phones is illegal....

I and I'm sure others are well aware of the law however the entire basis of the rule is under the pretence that you do not own the phone because it is under contract and each monthly installment will get you closer to actually owning the phone. I however bought this phone without a contract and android under the GPL licensing is open source therefore in my case I can unlock the phone (which tmobile all ready did for me). So on a superfluous layer I can see why you think it is illegal but it is not.

Negative, i will be contacting playfulgod for instructions and maybe to help out. The flex and gtab 3 are really under-developed. I would like to try and cintribute in some way

If you really want to help. Start reading everything you can about kernels. That's what's really needed is a kernel guru
