[Q] CM9 on Gio S5660M

So i have the Gio S5660M model, is it possible to put cyanogenmod 9 on it? do i have to take different steps from the S5660 model? If so, is there a posted guide on how to do so?

From my experience, just use the same steps.
Good luck!

Okay, well ive successfully installed it, few concerns. Uhm, where it should say my service provider, it says 302880(not sure what that means) Every few minutes, the screen will go black, or go black and then the brightness changes. I can hardly connect to the internet, sometimes my texts wont send, also wont sync my facebook which i noticed was an update in beta8. Not sure if i did something wrong, seeing as these problems shouldnt be occuring reading the changelog. any thoughts?

It sounds like you've flashed an Europe/Asia 5660 baseband as well. Undo that and you should be fine.
302880 is the MNC/MCC pair for your carrier. In this case, the Bell/Telus shared network. (Which I find somewhat odd; I would expect 302610 or 302220 for Bell/VMC/Solo or Telus/Koodo respectively.)
Good luck,
Darkshado

That sounds about right How would i go about undo ing that?

Through Odin, flash the amss image only. Or you could use dd in recovery as well.

The amss image of the S5660M rom? (sorry still new to this stuff)
How do i flash only the amss file ?

Dig some more through early Gio related threads. The explanations are there.
Hint: Tar archives can be edited. Remove what you don't want and flash with Odin.

So whats the deal with N7105 and T889

As the title says, whats the deal here, I read rumors of people runnign 7105 roms, and there are several ports here, but I haven't tried any roms here that are completely working yet. I don't care about wifi calling because its a gimmick anyway until it becomes full voip with no minutes lost, plus I have unlimited anyway. So really all I want is real tethering, not a toggle workaround. I was thinking of cooking my own but is it as simple as taking a 7105 rom and putting the 889 modem.bin into it and flashing a Tmo kernel?

So for example the omega rom, just download the Rom, which appears to be a CWM package for ATT note 2, flash it in CWM, then flash the Tmo modem and a kernel?
Don't feel like a hard brick. I get the Odin version, just use an extracted tmo modem.bin and kernel but the file I downloaded looks like a CWM, the kernel/modem files are in a folder marked "indie"

I believe there are libs files missing that will cause audio issues/loss. I'm tinkering tonight and I'll follow up with the results.

Koodo SGH T-989D

The tutorial for Rooting and all these ROMs present in android development section, are they the same for the T-989D Canadian version? Flashing them would work? I'm tried searching but it would just bring up roms based on T-989D. Just need a quick confirmation before I root and flash. Thanks.:angel:

I'm pretty sure that if something can be flashed on T989 (T-Mobile), it can be flashed on T989D (Telus/Koodo). I understand that the are just some small differences wrt access to download mode and recovery. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2079776
btw, I have a T989D on Koodo

Short answer is yes! Everything you will find here is working perfectly fine on the canadian version.
So go ahead and root/flash away!

Thanks for your help!

I have a T989D on Koodo which I've been messing with quite extensively, and yeah, everything is basically the same. The download/recovery mode linked above is the only major difference.
One thing of note, if you end up messing up the device and need to fully reflash from Odin, the t-mobile stock may not work. I tried over and over to recover from what was essentially a brick (ultra, ultra slow) and it just stayed that slow, even though it did seem to boot and connect and everything. It was totally unusable, however.
I found a different one that did work however, I can't seem to find the post anymore but I'm sure you'll be able to get it if you need it, there seem to be others out there with the same name, but not quite the same filesize. That shouldn't really matter as you'll doubtless go back to a custom rom anyway, the point is just to get you back to something that works.
For reference, the name of the one that worked for me is "SGH-T989_UVLH1_Stock_Odex_zipaligned_signed.zip" and it's 422 MB. This post seems to have a Koodo stock zip as well as the T-mobile one, it's about 100MB less but again, that really shouldn't matter so long as it's Koodo.
Hopefully you'll never need to use it, but I just wanted to let you know that even if you have to recover and some files don't seem to be working, keep trying, because the correct ones are out there! Just may need to search a bit for 'em

A few more things SGH-T989D owners may want to be aware of:
1) This is an excellent resource: [ROM][Stock]T989UVLI4 (4.0.4) ♛ T989DTLLE4 (4.0.3) ♛ T989DTLLG2[ODIN][TWRP/CWM]
2) You might want to search and replace all "T989" with "T989D" in build.prop
" " replace all "TLLG2" with whatever radio your new ROM is using.
If you're on Koodo you might want to assign that to the ro.carrier property
3) If you've got a data plan with you might want to search the web for your carrier's apn info and insert it into "Settings|Wireless & networks|Mobile networks"
Note: This stuff is optional in the sense that your stuff is probably going to work if you don't make these changes. I haven't always updated all this after switching to a new custom rom, but I did notice that I showed up on the Telus network as a T989 as opposed to a T989D on the Koodo network. Really they're the same network but ... I don't know. Maybe I just over think things... I do like the fact that when I plug my phone into the computer or go to the play store or whatever that my phone reports as what it actually is and what radio it uses etc. I don't really care that much as long as my stuff works and I have access to apps that are appropriate for the hardware I'm using. YMMV.
Note2: Most of this info can be gleaned from your stock rom's "CSC" folder and build.prop file. When I have a little more time I'll write this up so its more understandable for those new to flashing Roms. Just wanted to mention that there are a few other tiny, nearly insignificant differences btw the T989 and T989D so that the OP and/or others can address these points if they choose to. At least not be surprised if it looks as though they're using data on a network with a different phone.
Note3: Maybe the only thing that matters is an imei number from your SIM. I don't really know. Be glad to be "told" by anyone that knows. I just know that these things are different even if they don't make a bit of difference in practice.

Re:Koodo SGH-T989D
Hello I'm new to posting on the forums, sorry If I've missed the answer to this question already!
I have a Koodo SGH-T989D that I got in September, before that I was using a non smart flip phone . So I'm quite new to this whole rom business, but even android/ smart phone os in general.
I've been able to flash many roms in the past couple months and have a good understanding of what it is i'm doing. Never had an issue I couldnt fix myself actually, so I've never made an account.
This latest problem has me puzzled though, I've totally lost data connection on my s2x while using any radio. I use SGH-T989D_TLLG2_Koodo_radio but I tried UVLI4 just to see.
However I did change a few things up from my usual routine to flash 4.2.1
1: changed twrp to 2.4.1.0 from 2.2 cwm flashable zip
2: moved all my zips to sd card and formatted internal memory(to eliminate possible issues)
Before this I was using twrp 2.2 and only doing a clean install, not formatting internal sd without any issues or instability.
I've been on [4.2.1 | 4.2.2] AOKP :: jb-mr1 :: build 3 and very impressed with it, except this one issue.
In the thread there is a post that refers to getting data working with koodo, so I think its an apn/proxy setting. I just am not sure where I would have to change these settings.
Just restored a recent nandroid backup and everything works fine.
Can anyone help me out, any insight or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Check here for Koodo APN settings: http://koodomobile.com/en/on/switch2koodo-step-3-c.shtml
Go to settings > wireless and network, more... > mobile networks > access point names > then hit your options button > New APN > enter the details found on the page linked above.
Hope that solves it for you.

Re:Koodo SGH-T989D
Thank you so much, worked right away!
The reason I didnt just look up koodo apn settings is because I had no idea what they were.
And Until now I've never had an issue.
Is this something to do with aokp 4.2 or is it because I formatted my internal storage?
Since mid December I've tried out about 5 or 6 roms just to see how they compared to stock. And all I have to say is wow!
Thank you to all those who make this possible, it really is a great community.
I was on stock koodo rom and unrooted until december because my charge port stopped working after like 3 months...? So I went looking for info and I was brought here, haven't looked back since.

When to check for proper apn info?

Ususally associated with radio upgrades; but rather than get too particular, its good practice to check the apn info after any ROM upgrade. If you think about it, any of the hercules upgrades are going to be the same across the board for any given update. Where they're different is where we want to pay particular attention. In this case, carrier specific information.

[Q] wind note 3 with t-mobile roms?

so before i go flashing any new roms that come out for this thing, i need to know, is this phone like the S3 was (and many others i think) where i can flash any rom that is made for T-Mobile onto the wind phone? what about roms for rogers/bell/telus, as the model number and baseband number for the phone is all the same (SM-N900W8 is the model, baseband is N900W8VLUBMI5). i know that the Tmobile note has a number ending in MI7 and then the two numbers right after the N900 are different, but those two numbers, i was told, are maybe for something to do with country code and shouldn't really matter?
please help me figure this out, as i'm sure lots of other wind or other canadians are wondering the same thing.... got my phone rooted and flashed with TWRP and am just waiting to find out if i can flash the darthstocker mod onto my brand new phone, but i don't want to risk screwing it up if i can't
thanks for any and all help

Yes, just keep your current kernel.

How do I do that? Do I have to pull it off of my phone? Is there a way to extract my phone's stock Rom to my computer so it is Odin flashable?
Is flashing a Rom while keeping my kernel something even somewhat straightforward?

Just make sure the rom you're flashing doesn't include a custom kernel (most of them dont, just be careful though). To answer your second question, no you cant make a odin image, but you can use the official one (find it in your carriers section)

The carrier one is mitt available yet, otherwise I wouldn't be asking if I can pull my own. Can you pull the one off your phone using terminal emulator or anything else?

[Q] Need help with modem

Hello all, I posted here several weeks ago about me trying several things on my SPH-L520 to get root back after Knox, and ultimately failing until I found s0be's CyanogenMod project for the SPH-L520. This saved my device and I have a fully working ROM again with root access and the likes, however back when I started this commotion I deleted the modem off of my phone. After tinkering with my brothers phone today and following some very helpful threads I have successfully recovered the modem.bin from his phone. Unfortunately, this is where my expertise ends, as I don't know how to build the constituent parts to include in a .zip to make this modem flashable. Do to the current state of development for the SPH-L520 I also haven't found any modem packages that would work for me on a CDMA network, as most (read: all) of the modem packages I have found are for international LTE variants, and even if my phone successfully accepted them, well you know why that probably wouldn't work. So I'm asking for help, one final push to make my phone a phone again and not a fancy PDA. If anyone knows how I can turn the modem bin i have into a flashable zip, I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance, Hans.

Perhaps this thread can help you: http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/archive/index.php?thread-92.html
You need to flash through Odin twice for the modem to take effect.
You will probably be creating a .tar.md5 for modem.bin only

Thank you for linking to that thread.Unfortunately, Knox prevents Odin from successfully flashing the modem.tar I created. I'm going to try backing up my brothers modem with ZipMe and installing it on my phone that way.
Hans

What the hell is up with my phone? I just when checking around the firmware file with ES File Explorer, and right there inside is the modem files! But for some reason it's not working, the modem isn't being loaded or something because I still have no phone coverage... This is very strange.
Hans
EDIT: So I went into my connectivity settings and tried to add a APN. It wouldn't save to my phone. After that I tried changing my phone from NV to RUIM/SIM, but it wouldn't switch. I also tried to configure a network, but it said I needed to insert my SIM and restart the phone. Odd...
