Flashing Motorola Droid To Tbaytel Canada and possibly many other CDMA networks

Okay so now i finally have my droid working on tbaytel, there was a few issues i ran into with android for working on it but it should be solved for now. Just follow these steps carefully and if your phone ever gets in a boot loop don't worry because you can fix it with RSD Lite. This Guide was written by Dexter Fichuk
What you will need:
Everything is listed in this text file with with the links seeing as i cannot post them straight onto here because i am a new user so no links just downlaod the attached file at the bottom
1. First you need to root your phone. i just used the Lifehacker Droid rooting guide because you will end up losing all your data anyways with this guide. So for rooting use the lifehacker guide by googling "lifehacker droid rooting" guide and download there Files
2.Now Fire up rsd lite again and flash the SPRecovery SBF file you downloaded from mediafire onto your droid.
3.Now Shut your phone off and turn it on while holding the X Key and you should get sprecovery, now click mount options -> Enable Usb Mass Storage and now on your compter drage the blugess beast zip file onto the root of your card. Delete the update.zip file there and then rename Buggless Beast "update.zip" but without the quotation marks. Now Click Disable usb stoarge and go back with the power button. Click Install -> Install /sdcard/update.zip (deprecated) and let buggless beast install
4. Now install the Motorola USB Drivers
4. Now Turn the phone off and turn it on while holding the T Key down for diagnostics mode.
5. Start up HW Virtual Serial Port which you can download from the top of this page. Click Login and the password is admin, Put Port Name 5, ip adress 192.168.16.2 and port as 11008. Click Settings on the top bar and disable NVT Enabled.
6. Now open up CDMA Workshop and change the port to COM5 and click connect at the bottom. Click Security and in the SPC box type 000000 and click SPC -> Send and it should say its correct and phone unlocked.
7. Click the Memory tab and where it says NV Items click Write and find the tbaytel nv items you downloaded.
8. Goto the other tab and in the prl box click Write and find your Tbaytel Prl you downloaded. Go back to the security box and in the ESN box click read and write down the first number it gives you.
9. Now you need to go and get it hooked up so make sure you bring that number you just wrote down and tell them that that is the ESN Number. And tell them to get to the programming screen is ##PROGRAM on the dialer not the keyboard so you might want to write that with the ESN number.
10. Now once you get your phone back it should be hooked up and everything should be working except for me i found that i couldn't get incoming texts working, i called Tbaytel, Verizon and Motorola and they couldn't figure out the issue. After a while i found that if you use the Blended Bliss rom Which was ported over from the htc desire the radio framework is different and it worked. its the only solution i could find to the problem if you find another please post it
11. Follow the Instructions for installing Blended Bliss if you cant get incoming texts working but after you get it installed go to SPRecovery and do another Factory Reset on it.

[Q] Big problem

Hello,
i had yesterday rooted my LG Optimus Black, after that was all perfect but at the evening i got a big bug.
They didn´t find my sim card. I searched for many solutions.
I have a good one with smart flash but i cant click at Erase Entire CP but i have WIndows Enabler active.
What can i do?

Hello. Just wanted to clarify. You mean that you cannot connect to your mobile network? Any other changes besides root?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app

only root and zeus v7 rom installed
the lock screen shows No sim card and security failure.

click twice on the button
really make sure windows enabler is on
are you on 64 bit or 32 bit?

i have win 7 64bit
after 2 clicks it isn´t activ at smartflash i try it in the next half hour but i think it had to be active to work.

Don't erase entire CP. It damages a partition that can't be recovered (Even with SFT) and a repair person might refuse warranty if they notice.

i have no warranty it was a present but i can´t use sim cards at any kind of rom its say the same.
At a german board the say you had to erase entire cp and after that change the imei to your original imei.

Still damages nvram. If warranty is not a issue then you can go ahead.

Sorry, since I needed to do that last year, I'm curious about what damaging nvram implies xonar_ ? Thanks.

what's the thing with nvram xonar?

When you wipe CP it wipes nvram partition on your phone ( or at least part of it). All data like mac address of and IMEI are stored there. This data isn't touched by reflashing with SFT. It's possible to read that data from phone to restore it since it's hardwired to the phone, but kernel 3 only reads it from nvram partition. Rmcc made changes to the kernel to make a dummy address if the mac address is zeroed out to allow people with corrupt nvram to use wifi. I don't know if the kernel then later reads it from phone self, but it could cause some problems with wifi and bluetooth.
If you tried flashing the official firmware of KU5900 (kdz or bin not the repack) and didn't change it to fits our device then it also corrupts nvram.
Its possible that ticking wipe CP only wipes the first bit of nvram where the IMEI is stored. There is two entries in nvram that contains IMEI and replacing both of them could 'repair' it then.
I made a backup of my nvram incase something like that happens.
LG R&D tool might fix this,but I'm not sure. It takes forever and I'm making the assumption it's because it does more than SFT.

Here the guide of the german board.
Here is a summary of my approach: (Before installing the SIM card process!)
1) Smart Flash tool load.
3 loading) The image of the LG P970 V20B page.
4) Smart Start Flashtool
5) Erase entire Ap select and process restart select (Previously appropriate COM port) The port will be displayed only if you have installed the drivers and the LG hidden menu of the smartphone "AP CP USB Switching" and "CP USB" selects.
5) Windows Portable load start, and enable the bottom of the icon menu with a simple click.
6) The Windows Portable you have the opportunity to shaded box "Erase entire CP" enable the Smart Flash tool.
7) You select the pre-loaded CP and Ap-bins and start the process. (Before you have to take the battery off the phone, disconnect USB cable, hold the loudspeaker key pushed up, tuck USB cable again. Then the phone is in programming mode, and you can put the battery back.
8) Now click the Smart Flash tool easy to start. After about 5 minutes the process is completed.
9) You should see the SIM error be gone.
10) Note: Since absolutely everything in this process will be deleted right, not the IMEI! This can be changed using a HyperTerminal program again. The right is under the battery.

If everything is deleted then your MC address will also go poof. It can be put back into nvram quite easily. Make a buckup of your nvram so that you can get your Mac Addresses out. (You can get them other ways aswel but I think this is easiest way.)
Code:
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 /WHERE_YOU_WANT_IT/nv.img

i have no idea how i can i do it.

[Q] S3 LTE I9305 - Unable to boot, corrupt OS? and data recovery

Hi all,
I hope you can help as something very strange and unusual has happened to my Galaxy S3 LTE i9305 (on Orange in UK). Samsung technical support tell me they've not heard of the issue before as do the official repair shop. I have never installed any unusual software or tried to access the internals etc.
On Sat 26th Oct, in the evening, the phone was connected via USB to my laptop charging. There was no data transfer taking place, and the laptop was idle. The phone was not in use, nor was I nearby but randomly it showed the Samsung splash screen logo - it looked a little weird as it was pure black but with random speckles of coloured dots (which made it look like a Galaxy - I thought perhaps I hadn't noticed it before). I was unable to reset so took the battery out and replaced. It did the same thing and then on the second time of removing hte battery the screen became completely white with black marks generating a fuzzy effect - it's been like this ever since.
I get the white fuzzy screen if attempting to turn the phone on, or attempting to recovery mode, however if going to the install option (which I assume happens before Android boots), the screen is absolutely fine and proves not to be at fault. I should add the screen is cracked slightly, it has been since April and is not the cause of this random error.
Tech support tell me that they'll happily accept it back but ultimately, they will wipe the phone and send back as reconditioned. I've tried to connect via Kies, device not found - nor is it when connected to a computer - infact the computer tries to 'install device drivers'.
I'm sure everyone says this however I am an organiser of a large local festival in the UK and the phone has some very important detail storesd in the ColourNote app which I need to access - also the contacts appear not to have synced with GMail since May.... I'm desperate to access these files, for money too potentially, but cannot afford to go down the simple, wipe and reformat easy option. Can you help? Do you know any software that can access data from the internal memory card (note I've removed the external card which contained the photos) How about once the phone has been wiped, to try and see if anything can be recovered then.
Would really appreciate your support, this developer community is my last option and you're normally so awesome, as can't find any reference to the problem online.

Is your colour note app not synced ??
You can try RECUVA data recover.
You need to read the faqs and guides first .
Including the one that covers storage and recovery ..
Samsung reject warranty on phones that have damaged screen .

Hi,
....no I had never set it up. So ironic that was on the to do list in the app.
I'll look into Recuva, is that for before or after I send it off. Is there much chance do you think?
Yes, sorry. I meant to say I also have phone insurance which covers the screen so will have it off to them first, and then onto Samsung - ie 2 places of data wiping!
Thanks for your reply though,
Kind of hoping I may just be able to fix the problem, even if only temporary, but realise it's unlikely

Hi mate,
You can try flashing just the system (and boot) images if you think it's a software issue.
That way your data partition will be intact.
Instructions:
Step 1) Download the Stock ROM you want to use
Step 2) Rename the file from .tar.md5 to just .tar
Step 3) Open the .tar with WinRAR or something similar
Step 4) Extract: system.img (and boot.img if you want the Kernel)
Step 5) Create ODIN file from .img files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484304
Step 6) Flash the new ODIN file to restore your firmware to Stock!
On Windows you can use Cygwin to run these commands if you don't have access to Linux.
NOTE 1: That guide uses recovery.img as an example but you can replace that text with system.img on the first line.
NOTE 2: If you are adding more than one file (eg. system.img & boot.img) simply list them one after the other with a space between each file.
NOTE 3: Do not include data.img, it WILL wipe your data! Do not include cache.img, hidden.img, these MAY wipe your data!
Best of luck, I hope this helps you out :fingers-crossed:
Have a great day!

So, here’s how you can recover data from a Soft-Bricked Android smartphone:
1. Once you’ve installed a custom recovery on your device, open it using the specific method for your device. E.g for Samsung you can turn off the device completely, then turn it on by pressing and holding Volume Up + Home + Power Key and you will be able to access the recovery. These methods vary for different devices.
2. Once in CWM or TWRP Recovery you will find a number of options.
For CWM Recovery, select “Mounts & Storage > Yes”.
In Mounts and Storage menu you will find some more options, from the list select “Mount USB Storage or the option depending upon your choice.”.
Now connect your phone to your PC using the data cable.
As soon as you connect your phone to your PC, the USB Storage / Internal Storage will open up in folder view.
You can copy all of your files to your PC now.
3. For TWRP Recovery, Select “Mount > USB Storage”.
Connect your phone to your PC and it will open up the USB / Internal Storage.
3. Copy your desired files.
That’s all! You can easily recovery all of your data stored on the internal storage of your Android device.

IMEI and BaseBand Version Fix Works 100 %

Lately i've been watching people as well as myself screwing imei and not getting reception.
There are two cases possible
1> You screw only the IMEI
2>You screw the baseband version also ( which in some cases makes the mobile lag )
Lets start with fixing the baseband version nothing can be done with a simpler way you just have to flash the stock firmware again and the next time you boot the baseband version will appear.
Imei Fixing
Prerequisite
** Make sure you are using Stock rom and Locked Bootloader
1> Install PDA Net and CDC Drivers*
2> Install MauiMeta 3G Software*
3> Download MTK 6582 NVRAM Database* (The Chipset our phone is using )
After you are done doing all these things
1) Open MauiMeta App
2) Click on Action select open NVRAM DB, A popup will appear navigate to the database files downloaded and select the db files and select the files starting with APDB... and the next time BPLG...
3) Click on Option on App and select "Connect Smart Phone In Meta Mode "
4) Select USB COM as your host and click on Reconnect
5)After doing this switch off your phone and connect it if drivers are installed properly the phone will boot in meta mode and the window besides the USBCOM will be accessible click on IMEI Tool if NVRAM DB files are asked provide it
6) Write the IMEI from the Mobile Phones Box (Behind) in both the tabs and press Upload to flash
7) Restart Phone
Voilà IMEI Appears and you can now get Network Signal
AS THIS IS MY FIRST POST AND I HAVEN'T COMPLETED POSTING 10 TIMES IN OTHER THREADS I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SHARE LINKS FROM OTHER WEBSITE WHICH INCLUDE THE SOFTWARE DRIVERS AND NVRAM DATABASE FILE. YOU TOO CAN BE INTELLIGENT AND GOOGLE THEM.

Help, P10 bricked

Hi everyone.
I have bricked my phone and I don't know how to fix it. When I turn it on, it shows a green screen with two rectangles (one blue, one red).
Sometimes, after that screen with the rectangles, there is a menu to configure my device, ant it says "welcome to device D188" , and when I choose the language, setting as new phone, it tries to connect to network but it never does. So I'm stuck there.
Before this mess, I made a backup of the oem info with twrp, but I think something went wrong because it seems that this oem info has a one ".bin" archive (that i what I've seen looking in the internet), and my twrp backup is a folder with a lot of files(with .win, .sha2, .in extensions). I have two called oeminfo.emmc (one is .win, one is .sha2).
I've tried creating a dload folder with the update.app file in my micro sdcard, and then try to update but it shows "failed".
I was going to try and flash my phone via ADB but then I realised that I have to extract this update.app and I cannot do it because appears the error: RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img: Invlid header crc - Expected: 36587 Got: 6910.
PD: all this comes because I have the Huawei P10 chinese version, and Android Pay wasn't working in Europe (I had some problems adding my card). I thought that was a problem of the chinese ROM in Europe (because when I was in China, I dind't have that problem). So, what I did is rebrand my phone, but Android was still not working (this time because android pay detected a custom rom), and anyway, I didn't like it because the update system option disappeared, in system was a lot of information that wasn't about my phone, that it was wrong (things as processor, ram, etc.). And here is the crazy thing, I went to TWRP, and I restored, when I only had a backup of OEM, system and something else...
I think my phone is now usless and canoot be fixed, but I had to try posting this, just in case someone can help me.
Thanks.
