Hi all, I wonder if you can help me at all. I have just been given a GT-I9000 which is locked with t-mobile and I would like to unlock it and then flash the ROM (but I will open another thread later for that). I have unlocked only one phone so far, my old gt-I5700 and I was wondering if anybody can let me know how to unlock this one. I had a look at the sticky threads but couldn't find anything about it. Ah this phone has android 2.1
thanks a lot
Ah sorry, I need to root into my phone first...sorry! Can anybody kindly point me to the location where I can get the file to root my phone? thanks

Root is easy to obtain on this device.
You could flash a pre- rooted stock rom with Odin or depending on your rom you could flash a kernel that gives you the ability to use cwm and then flash supersu.zip.
Take a look at the development forum or search for rooting in it. YouTube offers video guides to root your device.

Thanks. Sorry I am not an expert on this so I might need a bit more help. To root in the phone as you say I need Odin. WOuld any version of Odin be ok or should I get one that supports my phone?
About tutorial on youtube, fine I will have a look. For the zip file to become root, are you saying I can get it straight from odin?
Finally, the development forum: I can't find the one for my phone on xda, could you possibly point me there please?
thanks

This is the general section for the i9000, the international version of the galaxy s1. On the left upper side, about the thread name, are links, click on the i9000. It should direct you to the overview of all i9000& 9001 relevant sub forums.
There are two Odin version that work with this phone, they are mostly included in the Odin packages or kernels.
Zip files can be flashed in the cwm/ twrp recovery, Odin can't flash zip files.
Here are some sample guides: http://m.youtube.com/user/totallydubbedHD. There are a lot of more tutorials out there, but that's a user I would recommend you. Written tutorials are in the q&a are and the development forum.

Thanks I had a look at the videos you sent me. I have managed to root and unlock my sim card, so now I have to flash the rom. I had a look around in the gt-i9000 forum, found interesting posts, but I don't understand what ROM version I should get. Ideally I would like to have the latest bug free one. I seem to understand that there are stock roms and custom roms: not entirely sure what the difference is, but as long as I can get a stable (ideally the newest) version I am happy. I had a look around but couldn't find what I need...perhaps because I am not entirely sure myself what I need. Could I ask for some more help please?

There are modified stock roms, based on the official Samsung releases but with a moded theme and some tweaks, they are also called custom roms. The development section contains also pure AOSP roms, based on the android open source project with the AOSP look and speed without OEM content.
It's up to you what you choose, both versions can be stable. The AOSP is based on the latest google release, named jellybean 4.2.1. Samsung stopped the development at 2.3.6, named gingerbread.
Take a closer look at the rom threads and try to build your own opinion with the users feedback.

I would really be grateful for any advice/guidance that i can get.
With much gratitude,

The HTC Incredible S is not going to get official Jellybean from HTC. The only way to get Jellybean is through flashing a custom ROM but it will NOT have Sense (unless someone is going to port a jellybean release from HTC with Sense.
I made a guide on how flash custom ROMs and achieving S-OFF which is right in my sig. Just click the link, read once and make sure you understand, then just follow the guide.

true.. HTC will not be officially releasing updates post ICS.. but if you want to install custom Jelly Bean ROMS (there are a plenty), then download the ROMs from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136463
follow the below link for rooting your phone and installing custom ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105

You are correct, there are no ROMs running Sense and Jellybean for the incredible S. Personally, AOSP is much better and fluid in performance
I've read lot of posts about Flash ROMs for this phone, but none helped me enough.
Can someone explain how can i upgrade for andoid 4.4 kit kat? I know that there are a ROM for that and i can get it and the gapps for it, i don't know how i flash them. I read about Clockworkmod and Odin.
Can someone describe step by step how to flash ROMs to my device? My phone has andoid 4.1.3 and root done.
Best regards

There is a thread for the international version but what you need to do is get an apk that changes your "custom" status to "official" then you will be able check for updates. I do believe this thread will get you started. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383484
If you have deleted any apks then it may mess up any updates you take. Or go to sammobile and look for 4.4 firmware for your phone and use Kies to install.
The 9005 can receive it's latest update thru kies, or by going into the settings menu, tap general tab, and scroll down to about device, then system update.
I have only change the md5 file with kies not the rom....I wanted to make the phone rooted not to change the official rom...can I correct this problem with my updates without change the official rom from my phone??? Or is there any app to do that???

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do.
Are you trying to gain root?
Are you trying to upgrade your firmware on your phone?
Are you trying to change something else on your phone?

I see.
The other reply that I made with the link in it. Follow that link and install what it tells you to install.
After you install it you can make you phone show an "official" status which will allow you to check for updates.
I do not know where the guy in the YouTube video got his firmware.
There is firmware available for the SM-9005 at www.sammobile.com but they seem to be country and carrier specific, I do not know as I do not have that phone.
You may be better off getting instructions in this section of XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3?nocache=1&z=7992070960968063
Good luck and be careful not to brick your phone.

You will probably lose root. It will not reset Knox to 0×0.

Sir I think you're looking for opinions on what to do and that's not what xda is here for. You're not even in the right sub forum for your device. We can talk forever about the pros and cons of custom roms over official releases. If you're worried one bit about knox counter, then do the official release. If you're comfortable with modifying your device and you can follow directions, I recommend you focus all your attention to this sub forum for your device here! The omegadroid link you attached can be found here on xda! I highly suggest you read through the 3000+ posts that users like you made. That might make up your mind for you.

Hi guys, I recently unlocked the recovery of my phone after the warranty ended.
I really don't feel the need to change the rom because I really like my stock Sense rom, the only rom I would like to try is one with the new Android Marshmallow. Are there any Marshmallow roms already for our phone?
Thanks,
Andrea

This was already asked a few days ago so I'll simply answer the same thing:
Android 6.0 isn't even fully deployed to nexus devices yet, you'll have to be much more patient . We will probably see 6.0 CM or AOSP roms relatively soon. I'm not expecting any 6.0 rom based on HTC Sense UI. CM13 development started about 10 18 days ago btw.

Click to collapse
You can easily find that there isn't any 6.0 roms yet by visiting the One (M7) Android Development and the One (M7) Original Android Development sections of this forum. When there will be one available, its will probably be really easy to find in these sections :good:
Okay thanks bro

As you can search on XDA. Now there are plenty of cm13 unofficial roms for the htc one m7 that bring marshmallow. Sadly I haven't seen any that are based on sense, however, there are many ways to get CM to look like htc-sense if that helps. Do note that the roms have bugs. Yes I have run the custom roms and find them to be very stable but couple of bugs such as FC when taking picture and phone rebooting when plugging in headphones really annoy me because i like to listen to music and take a lot of pictures.
