[Q] rooting flashed phone - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Well i tried searching but had no luck findin anything to do with what i'm needing to know. Guess i was searching for the wrong stuff idk. But i was needing to know since i had my shift flashed from sprint to cricket can it still be rooted? Thanks in advance.

Hum, 70 views and nothin.

Hell yeah, 2days and 124 views and not the first bit of help. Looks like i picked the wrong forums to turn to.

You left very little information dude. See if you can get more replies with more details.

Details? It's simple, evo shift flashed from sprints network to crickets. CAN it be rooted now? Simple yes or no. But no help needed anymore, went to a more helpful resource.

[Q] Rooting my HTC EVO 4G was cool at first, but its not for me...

I thought rooting my HTC EVO 4G would be the coolest thing to do, which it was at first but im having a lot of problems with my phone now. Like, i hate that i dont have service anywhere, my wifi doesnt work, wen i was in ATL and able to get 4G coverage, i only had 2 freakin bars.. So, with that being said, i need for someone to kindly instruct me step by step how to unroot my phone and get it BACK to normal. this crap is killing me.
I'm pretty sure it was user error. What roms were you running? And by the way this thread should be in General or Q&A.
The unrooting procedure is in this forum. But before you do that let me reinsure you that rooting isn't the reason for your malfunctions. I'm sure its just a coincidence.. different roms, kernels, and mods actually help resolve issues and make your phone better.
But do a lil searching in this forum for the unrooting. But I hope you reconsider

I'm sure it's your setup... Hell, my Evo wouldn't make it through security at the airport. Some sort of weapon if you ask me.

Well, since its our responsibility to help anyone who gets in over their head here is the ruu to unroot your phone and make it "iphoney" again. Run the ruu labeled stock 3.70 and your will be the subordinate to your phone again
It will look like this; RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11919374&postcount=2
Or take the blue pill, read up on some stuff and join us in the ways of doing whatever the hell we want with the stuff you bought. Because I promising rooting didn't mess up your phone.
wow give him a break, if he got his phone rooted in the first place he can't be extremely helpless. Viper, yea he posted in the wrong section(mods can move why whine about it?) I can clearly tell he is asking how to unroot his phone and go back to stock.
With that being said, read through this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701245
For instance, I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
which has an one of many un-root guides. Scroll down until you see
================================================
UNROOT GUIDE
NOTE: This will erase all data on the phone. (Will not erase data on the SDCard)
and follow instructions.
his daily rom is Incredible S port, he should of started with something more capable than that lol

Well that sure is running before you can walk lol!
If that's the case op, please consider this Rom before unrooting. Always good to me. 3.70 version for best results.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864501
I would try the latest Cyanogen 7 if I were you...my phone has never ran better and its still not a final release ROM. If you're first attempt was the Incredible port you really need to take a step back and try something that is not in initial stages.
Well you do gotta cut the man some slack noobs are noobs lol suppose to help them not throw bricks at them
how to unroot your evo ---
honestly rooting is the best thing that happened to my evo --
here you go.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141 -- thats the unroot thread
--- still dont get what all the flaming is all about.. suxx that he failed to put this thread in the right section.. i messed up once..
but none the less i also got stuck in a bootloop day 1 of owning my device.. i blamed fresh -- i later learned it was user error..
im sorta TARDED lol -- but learning is the battle that won me over.. the flaming just makes the situation worse
cmon now havent we all hopefully even thought if not already posted " which rom is best"
i know i asked all my friends and i got just try em and shut up i said thank goodness for friends or i would be pissed .. lol
none the less.. maybe its too much for him suxx that the person wont get to experience what we all enjoy about this.. but people
change their minds daily who knows he might even thing ahhh wth lemme keep trying stuff..
not that im his lawyer but flaming suxx.. thats all
OP! i posted in your first thread when you were crying about not being able to figure out STEP BY STEP instructions for flashing... that was like 2 days ago! i really dont know what to say... but READ READ READ the forums.... i have a nokia 5100 series phone i will give you for free, i think that phone will be better suited for you.
EDIT: if you are wondering how in the world this person got rooted, read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006914 its a play by play of how he managed it...
if you checked this thread expecting laughter and need some.. read that thread..
Dude flash a ROM that lists everything as working in the OP. Sprint Lovers or Stock Turbo or Fresh or one of many others.
If you need to unroot, download the unrevoked s-on zip and flash it. Then stock 3.70 PC36IMG.zip file and put it on the root of your sd card. Power on the phone while holding down the Volume Down button and follow the steps on your phone to flash the update.
But honestly you don't need to unroot, you need to READ. A lot. You will be fine if you just read even the stickies in each of the forums.

[Q] Cricket Rom And Flash Help!!! Evo 4g

First off, i would like to thank everyone who puts this awesome crap on the internet for us retards to try to do something cool with our friggin phones. Second, this is my first EVER post on a forum of any kind, so please go easy on me if i sound like a complete moron...
Im sure its important that i put what im working with here. Its an Evo 4g PC36100 Build 4.54.651.1 with Android OS 2.3.3 Kernel 2.6.35.1,
Not sure what other info you might need but let me know if you got anything else i gotta put on here.
Oh yeah... i found the phone outside a corner store about two months ago with nothing but the "owners number" and an email address on it. Dont think i just kept it though. I called the number and left several voicemails and even emailed the person a million times in hopes that i didnt have to throw away a brand-spankin-new phone. They never got back to me and instead i guess they cut off the service (which i only used to call its voicemail) about a week or so into having the phone. My brother had given me a charger that fit one of his old phones so i could keep it on incase some one called.
a few days ago, someone said that i could just flash the phone and use it with another provider. I decided i would prefer not to pay for a new phone so i would use this thing. another person told me that i would first have to root the phone before i could flash it. So i did. I rooted it with the unRevoked/revolutionary Tool method. i backed up the original stuff using this method and later installed Myns Warm TwoPointTwo because the guy online said it was a cooler rom. so i was like what the hell.
I went to the cricket store and they said they would charge me 65 bucks to flash a friggin phone. i was like "naw *****es" because my brother said i could do it at home. Most of the descriptions for Flashing say i should have Jiminy V installed BEFORE i flash my ****.
I tried that on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784776
Every link send me to some site called MassMirror And that site doesnt let me do Jack ****. I signed up an account on the site but still nothing. then I uploaded a 21Mb program so it might let me. But still nothing. So i cant download it anywhere. And now im stuck.
Can someone help me access these files that u guys put on here? is there something wrong with my PC that is not letting me download them? i hope not.
If i end up being unable to get the ROM can i just try to flash this phone with the Warm2.2 Rom that i have on it? it is pretty cool and i would like to keep it, but if it wont work, Can someone suggest an alternative that i can easily find that is either similar or at least moderately user friendly? i know im asking a lot, but i really suck at this phone crap and am looking forward to not giving a some dude my money if i can do this **** at home.
BTW I intend to get the phone connected (Full $55 Plan) with Cricket next week after i get payed. I just dont have the money today to do it, and would like to have the phone flashed and ready to connect, hopefully with a fully functional ROM, by the time i go to the cricket store.
Any help is VERY much appreciated and sorry again for the huge ass post.

that link you listed is for a rom that you flash AFTER you get setup with Cricket. In the OP of that link there is a guide that tells you how to reprogram your phone for Cricket. http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...o-Flash-to-Cricket-with-Talk-Text-Wap-and-MMS that was in the OP heres a note from the link you posted to the JimmyV rom
It might be a good idea to use a newer PRL than the one suggested in that guide (since it's old). I am attaching the most recent PRL I have to this post. Also found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002910. Im not on Cricket so i cant really help and IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE . There might be someone on Cricket that can help you more but im not that person
Also OP means original post

Well you won't need the jimmy rom until AFTER you have succesfully been setup with Cricket. So reprogram phone for Cricket then flash Jimmy rom. Also I'm not sure where to download the rom I'm pretty sure those links might be dead

FYI Jiminy V is over a year old at this point and is based on Froyo. I don't even run it any more.
Follow the flashing guide I provided in the Jiminy thread to program the phone to work with Cricket (this is completely independent from flashing a rom and flashing roms will not overwrite any of the "cricket" flash). It is the same guide I used to flash my personal phone.
No custom rom magic is required at this point with all the roms that have come out in the past year. I myself am running MikG. I like Sense roms (aside from their poor bluetooth support). I've never been able to get MMS working with Cricket on an AOSP rom unfortunately. I'd run AOSP if I could but I receive far too many pictures via MMS to give that up.
Flash a modern rom and if it is Sense based then use the dialer to enter into the EPST settings and change the MMS server urls and everything should be working as long as you set the MMS size limit to 500k.
I'm editing the Jiminy thread now to advise people that it is obsolete.

Stock shipped rom gs2

Hey everyone, I'm honestly getting confused looking at all the roms and I'm not entirely sure I'm looking at the right thing - Essentially, since the ICS ****up I want to go back to gingerbread when my phone worked. I get 6 hours battery life, on standby, never touching my phone, all radios off. ZERO reception no matter where I go. *****ing aside, I've rooted my GS years ago and havent needed to root the gs2 so I'm a little rusty, Just a simple link to the shipped/stock rom would be appreciated, as I said before I get too confused with all the titles.
Thank yoyu
If it lasts only that few hours then there is definitely something wrong. Try factory reset/wipe. For rooting ICS use method 1 from guide in my signature. For GB ROM check sammobile.com

I have no idea why you keep ignoring me.
I said in your other two threads (here and here) - YOU'RE IN THE WRONG FORUM.
This is the forum for the GT-I9100 model of the Galaxy SII. This phone doesn't even work on Sprint's network.
You have the Sprint variant of the Galaxy SII. It is also called the Epic 4G Touch. That device's forum is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281.
I can't make this any more clear. This should not be confusing.
You're confusing yourself; getting confused looking at all the ROMs in the wrong device forum. Stop that. Go to the correct forum for your device.
Also, STOP POSTING the same issue over and over. As I noted above, this is the third thread you've started to complain about ICS on your device. (which still isn't an I9100)
LMAO
the SGS2 fori have become pickled with and by the totally bewildered...
Well, sorry. I've been doing way too much in the past week and the phone not working has made things a little difficult. Didn't mean to ignore, I think I had a post typed out and closed the tab on accident. Will do as you advised shortly.
Thank you
Moved to Epic 4G Touch Q&A, locked other 2 threads.

[Q] to flash or not to flash? HELP PLEASE...

I just bought a Sprint Epic 4g touch from a girl who says she got it just 2 months ago new as a gift. I believe her as the phone is flawless and in the box which looks new. Im with Cricket and want to flash the phone to it but after reading these forums I'm not so sure. What is a leaking kernel? Do I need to worry about having a expensive paper weight if I try to flash this phone? ...Anyone help a newb out?.
You really need to do a whole lot more reading.
All your questions are answered. Except the leaking kernel thingy; think that requires a doctor.
You may need this too.

[Q] Samsung note 2

First of all I would like to thank all of you hear that have sound wisdom in dealing with my nightmare. I'm so new to this that my last phone's antennae is still on the top of my care and phone is in it's big carrying bag LOL. I'm 50 years old but am not done trying to learn something new. Here's the problem. I have a note 2 i317 that i bought online from someone. It's build number is jedi xp 9 android 4.1.2 Dernel version 3.0.31 SaberKernel_07+ptmr3 ect ect. So I have little to no signal strength and cannot hook up to the internet. I've called straight talk and spent an hour or two with them as well to no avail. I've been up and down these posts but I'm lost as how to employ some of the things that I have read about. Remember that I'm a noob to the max. I would love someone to put the instructions on how to fix my phone, in plain english that i can understand. I thought I might have a bad sim card as well but don't know how to check it. I've put at least 6 different apn's in and nothing. My old phone worked great in my house now i have this 500 dollars ornament that I can barely even get calls on. PLEASE can someone help me? I would be very grateful to say the least. I've read if you install something wrong that you can brick your device (whatever that means, but it doesn't sound good). I will be anxiously awaiting for the bravest soul to write me back. I say brave cause with me it might take a while. Sorry

Did the phone ever work at one point, or once you gained possession and tried it, you got the described result? I don't have your AT&T version phone but may be able to help with more info from you.
Is the modem is ur carrier modem?
Have u tried to change the modem to your carrier modem?

Yes it does work with voice and text messages but no mms and I can't connect to the internet cause of the weak signal I suppose. I haven't tried a new sim card just yet. Installed one that they sent me 5 months ago but when I called them today to activate it was no longer any good. They told me I took too long to activate it and they were sending out another one. As for the signal ...it's very weak. Like one bar two at the most. When we went to oshkosh over the weekend I saw that most everyone was on their cell phone and I couldn't call my kids unless I went searching for an area where my phone would work. I never had this problem before with my other phone that was through straight talk. I spent all day today looking for some more possibilities here and saw that maybe my modem on the phone is no good. I tried to download one and I did but haven't put it into the phone cause I'm scared that I might do it wrong and then the phone will be even more messed up than it is. i believe it's this one i717-ics-ucle2. The guy said it worked good for his straight talk. But if you all think that it's something different then please let me know. Thank you all very much for your time and patience with me. I will definitely try to learn more now that I found this wonderful website.

Hi Ed,
the phone has been modified by the owner who sold it to you. He has changed the software oh the Note2. The Problem is we don't know whether there was any problem in signal for him as well. First check whether the SIM is working fine on any other phone. If it does, then I'm afraid you might have to restore the phone to the original Software to make sure this is not a Hardware issues.

So I have little to no signal strength and cannot hook up to the internet. I've called straight talk and spent an hour or two with them as well to no avail. I've been up and down these posts but I'm lost as how to employ some of the things that I have read about. Remember that I'm a noob to the max. I would love someone to put the instructions on how to fix my phone, in plain english that i can understand. I thought I might have a bad sim card as well but don't know how to check it. I've put at least 6 different apn's in and nothing. My old phone worked great in my house now i have this 500 dollars ornament that I can barely even get calls on. PLEASE can someone help me? I would be very grateful to say the least. I've read if you install something wrong that you can brick your device (whatever that means, but it doesn't sound good). I will be anxiously awaiting for the bravest soul to write me back. I say brave cause with me it might take a while. Sorry
Sincerely
Ed

Ed, I'm hoping the links provided to you from other posters has helped. Some of the suggestions have been to try flashing new modems (you're hesitant) and even to install a new ROM. If you have managed to correct your problem, kindly update the thread so other users can benefit from your experience.
If you've had no joy, pursue within the forum for your specific device (AT&T it seems) and good luck!

Hi all and thanks again for the help you have given me. I just got my new sim card today and it seemed to help. I can get on the internet now but my signal is still only one bar and sometimes not there at all. But at least I can connect via wifi. So the sim was partly to blame. Tweeny...I never said that I wouldn't put another radio or modem on my phone, I'm just not too sure about how to do it just yet. I don't want to ruin my phone anymore than it is. I should just dive into it and see what happens. If anyone else has anymore ideas as to why i have poor reception and also I still can't mms, please let me know. Thank you all once again. I will be a regular visitor here and hopefully one day I can be as confident and resourceful as all of you. God bless you all
Hi ed
i reckon u could read up and try flashing a different modem. beyond that flash a different rom. but u obviously have a lot of reading b4 that. good luck
