That thread had to be removed per the forum rules, specifically those regarding rule 9, as that thread was telling people how to overwrite the IMEI on a device.

I see, it is a shame because that info did help a lot of people.

I understand, as the info was useful, but the legalities of the IMEI tampering are clear, and it's not something we can host, per rule 9.

I am all for rules and enforcing them, but if it wasnt for that info a lot of us t-mobile customers would not be able to use the tab they way it was intended,as a phone. But nothing can be done now but i am glad i found it before it was too late.
But one thing though, there are other threads about changing IMEI and stuff but they are still out there, so i believe it should be the same for everyone.
Not trying to be a snitch or anything lol

Well... If you fancy the job of looking through 500,000 threads, be my guest and report them We can only act on what we find or get reported to us, as there's too much otherwise.
We know where you're coming from, but the legal situation is clear.

lol thanks for offer but im good. so if tmo would have gotten a look they could have involved lawyers?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

I don't know specifics of this case, but the changing of the IMEI in general is illegal under communications laws. That's the issue here.

[Q] How to port WIMAX??

I've searched and searched and searched and can't find this info. anywhere. I found lots of post where people say they have fixed wimax in their ports, but of course they never share how. I assume that all the dev help was done in PM. All the PMing of dev info. around here makes it very hard to search for help or "how tos" on issues. I'm hoping that someone will be willing to take the time to help me out here.
I've been working on a Speedy port. I know it's old software at this point, but since this is my first port, I figured I'd start out with something easier than 3.5.
Because Speedy is a Sprint phone and naturally has 4g capability, I assume that all the needed files are already in there. I further assume that I must just need to edit the correct file/files in order to get it to work on an EVO. Just for ****es and giggles I've replaced all the Speedy wimax files with Supersonic wimax files, but still a no go.
These are all the files I've switched out so far:
From system/bin:
dhcpcd
sequansd
setWiMAXPropDaemond
getWiMaxPropDeamond
wimax_mtd
wimax_uart
wimaxAddRoute
wimaxConfigInterface
wimaxDhcpRelease
wimaxDhcpRenew
wimaxDumpKmsg
wimaxDumpLastKmsg
wimaxDumpLogcat
from system/etc:
the entire "wimax" directory
from system/lib/modules:
sequans_sdio.ko
wimaxdbg.ko
wimaxuart.ko
I think that's all of them. I read somewhere that it involves changing some code in a few files, but of course, again, they didn't mention which files to look at to make these changes.
Can anyone tell me where I should be looking? I've done lots and lots of comparisons on different files between my ROM and a couple other ROMs that have wimax working, but I'm just missing it somewhere.
I don't think I need someone to explain it detail, I just need someone to tell me where exactly I should be looking.
Many thanks in advance for anyone will to help me out on this.

Alot more to it then the files. Alot of its hardcoded into framework and jar files. If it was easy enough it would be done. A few of us have been trying to get into 3.5 but no luck has really been made yet. In time we will figure it out.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Yes, I realize that it's a lot more than just replacing files. I only mentioned that because I assumed somebody was going to mention those files. I could also list everything else I've looked into, but I figured I probably wouldn't get any help anyway so why bother.
I'm not a noob to this. As I stated I'm working on a speedy port in which most everything works except for 4g. That in and of itself should be enough to show that I would at least realize it's not going to be as easy as replacing files. I've had to open things like framework.jar many times and mess with smalis and what not. This why I didn't ask for a detailed explanantion but more of a where should I start looking.
As stated, I'm not using Sense 3.5 at the moment, but Sense 2.1. There are many 2.1 ROMs with working 4g, so the answer has already been discovered. It's not in any public forums or anything that I can find.
If I need to post a link to my ROM here so that someone will take me seriously, I'd be more than happy to.

Sorry I wasted your time then by answering your question.

If you're talking to me, there was nothing remotely close to an answer to be found in his reply.

WIMAX incorporation
Couldnt this be done by downloading the source from HTCDEV and just porting over the wimax driver?

Full WiMax Settings

ALL credit goes to sbrissen for completing this task. Without him my bounty thread would probably still be up and unresolved. Be sure to show him thanks as well!
I've been waiting to see what Sprint was doing with WiMax first before releasing this but now we know there will be no more WiMax smartphones... although I'm still waiting to see if they sneak the Samsung Note in with WiMax.
As the WiMax enthusiasts already know... we can edit 99% of the same values as the OG Epic already using both ##DATA# > View > WiMAX and ##DEBUG# menus. Possibly the most useful edit is setting the Entry Rx levels from -89 to -110.. allowing those in low signal areas to still jump on 4G. The big edit that was missing on the E4GT was the ability to edit the WiMax MAC address. This is what I'm sharing today.
UPDATE
This can also be done on AOSP ICS without the need for the attached apk(still no ICS Touchwiz option). I've personally only done this with CM9 built by darchstar or sbrissen.. but it should work for others.
1. Use an app such as 'Any Cut' from the market to make shortcuts.
2. When scrolling through all of the available shortcut options you will see WIMAX_CFG and WimaxHiddenMenu. Make a shortcut to each.
3. Use WIMAX_CFG to set the Realm. Use WimaxHiddenMenu to set the MAC.
4. Hit the THANKS button because I'm jawsome.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Download the attached file and unzip
2. Replace unzipped file w/the file in /system/apps. make sure permissions are correct(Root Explorer makes this EZ)
3. Go to the dialer.. enter ##DEBUG# > WiMAX CT > Open Device.. Edit MAC and hit set. Done.
This will work on all Touchwiz based roms released up until this point(with unmodified dialers). I can not promise it will work on upcoming ICS Touchwiz builds and it will definitely NOT work on any current/future AOSP/MTD/Cyanogen builds!! If you do have a Touchwiz based rom but the dialer has been modified and does NOT allow ##DEBUG# to work.. use an app like AnyCut to make a shortcut to WiMAX CT instead. Again.. this will NOT work on non-touchwiz roms.

You're welcome. Dont forget to say thanks and/or donate.. I just made your E4GT on Sprint/Boost/Verizon/Cricket/Metro/Etc wayyy better until at least 2015. And try not to fill up the thread with BS questions like "what is this for".. or "how do I get my MSL"...

Good thing is worked congratulations!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Thanks for this. I'm sure this will help a lot of people.
To get your MSL download Terminal Emulator from the Market. You MUST be rooted.
Open it and type:
"su" (for super user access)(don't type the quotes)
then type "getprop ril.MSL"
(then enter to get you Device's MSL code, NO QUOTES)
I know even though you stated in the OP not to ask someone will.

Thanks very much.
Question: will a ##786# reset restore original values if needed?

some more info
I know who ever posts this question first is going to be flamed by other IVY League Graduate ( Acting) here...So I am taking the heat...what exactly does it do...

Not 100% sure but I believe it would remain untouched even after a ##786# reset.. just as the meid etc would remain untouched. resort to checking the label under your battery for original MAC

At the risk of being the first uneducated poster to ask the "what is this for" type question, I have to ask:
Will this do anything for me if Sprint has no 4G coverage in my area?

sprint/clear/comcast all share the same towers.. if you currently do not have coverage this will not help. Though I would not rely solely on their coverage maps. http://s4gru.spruz.com has detailed info in their forums on WiMax "Protection sites/Phantom sites" that list towers not listed by Clear/Sprint. Though if WiMax is NOWHERE near you.. this prob wont help... unless a local college or something is using WiMax.

if you have working 4G already then you dont touch anything... this is for those on other carriers or non-working WiMax 4G.

because i said what its for.. its for editing your mac address. editing mac addresses is a touchy subject so that's all that will be discussed on the matter. and just because it's in the General Forums does not mean technical knowledge shouldn't be required.

um, whatever
but you replied in the other post "this is for those on other carriers or non-working WiMax 4G"
If you had simply included that in your original topic, could have avoided some replies
Tis all

Its like this, I have great 4g but I went to a farmers market there a company was showing off their WiMax for gaming. The MSL was on the side. Theoretically, you can Crick that Mac on here and use it. I was seriously wondering if there is a mini throttle between Clear and Sprint. Straight Clear seems faster. This is not legal to do I believe unless you own another WiMax device like portable hotspots...

already covered in the thread.. simply rewrite the old MAC thats on the label under your battery. there is no partition etc that requires backing up.. it's not like HTC devices.

if you have working sprint then you dont need to add anything. if you dont have working sprint 4g then you can add the mac address from your Clearwire modem.

Needs serious help!!

I am trying my hand at flashing to other carriers and I am so lost and stuck. I spent the last 4 hours searching all over the place and have yet to find an answer so.
I am wondering if anyone can help me with this problem. I am try to put my Sprint Epic 4g touch onto Boost mobile. I am using a ZTE Warp to accomplish this.
I am so I pretty much understand what needs to be done but, I am stuck in a place where I cannot retrieve 2 NV files. I am trying to read and save 466 and 1192
IN cdma workshop it shows that it reads but when i go to open the files and look at it inside the .txt file its says just for those two files access denied. I can open the two files and browse the contents ok enough. But there is no hexadeximal numbers in there. I would post what they look like but I am not sure if that is against the rules. But I would be so eternally grateful if anyone who knows about this could teach me a way or show me a way to access these two files so that I can get this phone working.
To summarize :
1.) Epic Touch 4g to Boost
2.) Stuck on the part where I grab the NV files from the other phone I own.
3.) My other phone is a Zte Warp
4.) The files I need seem to be locked and unreadable
5.) Looking for some expert advice on how to accomplish getting those files because I have searched under all the rocks I know of.
I don't like asking for help unless I have knocked down all of my doors. But I am out of options at this point and my brain is about to explode.
6.)Thankyou in advanced.

Wrong forum. Click the triangle with the ! in it in the top right hand corner of your post to report it to mods, and ask them to move your thread here. You're more likely to get the help you need there.

Neither of those phones is a gti9100... wrong forum?

That is the exact walkthrough I am following. It's fairly simple to follow and easy to understand. But, unlike in that tut, I am not using the incognito I am attempting to use the warp and I am running into problems getting two of the NV files mentioned. Both of the files I am refering to have access denied as the output. So I am basically stuck until I can afford to purchase the exact phone used in the tut or someone smarter than myself decides to help me out a little.
But I will say this. Getting stuck like this has taught me soooooo much so thankyou guys for all of the wonderful posts and guides you write. It is people like this that keep the world turning

THANKS to you I was able to figure it out. I dont know your name on here to give you proper credits but thanks man you are awesome!

[Q] NEED HELP. Where is the modified verison of DriveLink I am hearing about????

Hey guy's I recently got the XAV-701HD mirrorlink unit for my truck. The driveLink app is beyond horrible. I read a post from a guy on the reviews section. Here it is
It's a shame that a developer outside of Samsung had to modify this app to make it what it should have been. If anyone reads this review, please know that their is a modified version of drive link. I currently have it on my phone and it works great on my Sony XAV-701HD head unit. I am able to use Pandora and all apps including Netflix. I can load all shortcuts to my home screen and they stay, the annoying warning message is removed, and the app works flawlessly and it is still in development with users reading at xda developers. Make sure your head unit is up to date on the firmware, if you want apps to work while driving, the unit must have the video bypass simply by grounding your parking brake wire. Once you uninstall Samsung's crappy version and install the new version, you will see a whole new world on your unit. I recommend installing button saviour to your phone and using Nova Launcher. Check out all of the videos on YouTube. I am now a happy camper but not with Samsung.
He raves about how awesome this app is but doesnt tell anywhere the damn name or where it is. Does anyone know this and can direct me to where it is? I need it asap. THANKS

I think I found a thread dedicated to it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951960&page=17
But I cant post in it. I just need to know where and how to download the modified version, and Do I need to have my phone cracked or unlocked or what have you? Id rather not do that. someone let me know.

According to the OP, it also messes up data on CDMA SGS3's. Of which the Sprint S3 is one.

Man posting anything in this forum is really invloved w/ all these restrictions...
Forgive my ignorance. But what data does it mess up? I saw this on youtube it wont let me type the damn link but its video g1rnm5Cd2ug
search "Drivelink full mirroring"
and it seems this guy is using it w/ the s3.
thank you for the help.

It's too limit the amount of spam by some new users. They tend to post in the dev section when they shouldn't, making question threads or things that should go in general
So that's where that rule comes from :thumbup:
