Can I connect 2 phones without having to reset the watch??
The best thing I succeeded in doing was connect to friends phone to upgrade firmware. Then reset and connect to my HTC keeping the update.

I would like to apply the network lock to my phone again. The reason being, I can't get the official update to Froyo for my i9000.
I have multiple friends who have the same phone, and I had one of them over the other day. I plugged her phone into my computer, opened up Kies, and it told me there was an update for the firmware.
I then unplugged her phone and plugged mine in, but Kies then said that there was no update for this phone.
The only difference between the two phones is the network lock.
I have the same firmware and everything.
Any ideas what the problem would be?
Thanks

Hi everyone. To date, I've rooted every Android phone my wife and I have owned (and several for other people). I bought a Verizon Samsung tablet today and of course I want to root it. The tab was used and the girl I bought it from did a factory reset BEFORE disconnecting it from her data package. I noticed that the tab went through an activation process after the reset. Everything works fine on it now, except it's stock and not rooted.
I'm not sure if rooting this thing will require me to activate the tablet. I haven't researched to see if the software is replaced or if it just pushes super user to the tab but I'm pretty sure flashing a rom would require the initial activation set up.
So my question, if I root and rom my tab and DO NOT have a data plan, will I be able to get back into the device? I asked Verizon what would happen if I did a factory reset (which is the same as wiping data in recovery) and they said I could temporarily move one of my phone lines to the tab...which is also a problem because we have 2 Thunderbolts. If I transfer my line from the phone, my sim card will be no good. I'd have to go to Verizon to get a new one.
Any way to bypass the initial activation after a factory reset or rom flash? Or is that even a problem for rooters without data plans. Am I over thinking?
No one?

Thanks, I found something online saying that I can press the following at the activation screen to bypass it:
Vol up once
Vol down twice
Vol up three times
Vol down four times
I'm yet to try it but I will this weekend.

I updated to marshmallow 6.0.1 a few days ago and the phone was perfectly fine. Just yesterday I factory reset the phone because I've read online the battery is better after that so I did it and restore my data with smart switch after. The sim card was working last night. I fully charged the phone and unplugged it and left it there until morning. When I woke up i noticed that the phone is stuck in emergency calls only. So i just waited the whole day for it to reconnect it self because this happens when i lose service (i rarely do at home but sometimes). Till now I still cannot connect to a network. I tried rebooting, resetting the network settings and selecting the available network providers from the phone search. after doing the search it did not include my own carrier (mobilicity). I am in Canada and the phone is the Canadian variant. The phone search showed telus, bell and wind and cdn roaming. I reinserted the sim card no luck. I can try to factory reset but I doubt it would work. Any one can help me out????
BTW the phone is UNROOTED no mods or anything done to it.

I did some research I think there's something wrong with my Sim card as I can't scan my network through the manual scan. So I'm gonna replace it tomorrow and see if that fixes it. If not then I may just switch to another phone.

Hello!
I am new to this forum and also completely new to phone modding etc.
I will shortly explain what situation I am in so maybe someone can enlighten me a little so I know what to do.
A year ago I bought a phone on polish trading site called Allegro.pl, for months it worked without issues, it was a brand new phone.
A few weeks ago a message popped on screen telling me the phone is now locked due to failure in monthly payments. (Previous owner).
I tried all ways of contacting the seller but to no avail. His phone number is off, he does not answer e-mails.
I decided to just ditch the phone and use some old backup phone I had saved. The problem however is that the old phone died and right now I can't afford buying a new one.
Getting this phone into a working condition (without any lock) is my only option so here are the things I have done so far:
I have flashed the latest Android 10 Firmware but right after the initial set up is done (after recovery) the phone locks.
There is no window with the information anymore however, but I can't use any of phone's options or apps in anyway.
I have found a way to bypass that for a brief moment and managed to turn OEM lock off and Enable USB debugging.
(When phone asks for Wi-Fi network I used my old SIM card and told the phone to connect using SIM's connection and right after the initial setup is done I quickly unplugged the SIM so the phone has no connection to internet anymore and the lock didn't start right away. It took me a while to figure it out, been sitting in front of my PC up until 5 am last night.)
If I install TWRP and a custom rom will it bypass the lock on the phone and will I be able to use it normally again?
Will I have to change the firmware somehow, or what exactly will I have to do to make use of the phone again?
IMEI's appear to not be locked as of now.
Any help, information, advice on this subject will be greatly appreciated!
I have a Sony XZ3 which was bought second hand 18 months ago. It's worked fine until about 1 month ago when it didn't get good signal or data anymore.
I am in the UK and use a giffgaff sim which runs on the o2 network. I found after some investigation that the phone for some reason was now connected to The Virgin network and I can't get it off.
Giffgaff have not been able to help, they said the phone is now locked to Virgin, Virgin said the phone is not locked but they did confirm that when it was bought new it was from them. Checking the handset it actually does say unlocked.
Have done a sim swap - the sim works fine, it's the phone that's the problem. It does the same with a different giffgaff sim in it.
Have reset network but it doesn't work and just defaults back to Virgin again. Have done factory reset 3 times but again just defaults back to Virgin every time. It says all other networks unavailable.
Can someone help please with what to do next?
Is there some kind of hard reset which will wipe everything including whatever is causing it to be switching to Virgin all the time? Or some way to override it?
It still shows no signal most of the time even though it says it's on Virgin
Thank you.
Hi everyone. I have the same problem. Since some weeks ago my phone doesn't recognize any network, not wifi or mobile and the it reset alone. I was told that it might be a software problem. I have already done factory reset and software repair from xperia companion but the problem persists.
I don't know if any of you knows if this is a hardware problem. But also I was trying to install a custom rom for android 11 to see if the problem is solved, but I can't unlock the bootloader either. I followed Sony official instructions to do this but for some reason Windows 10 doesn't recognize the phone after I turn it off and the press and hold the volume up button while connecting the phone to the PC with the usb cable. The drivers are installed but in the device manager it appears with a code 10 saying that the device might not be able to be recognize.
I have already checked if I can unlock the bootloader and it says yes.
Thank you very much.
