Howdy all. First off, I've got an lgc555, which no-one uses, so there's no info about custom roms and such, HOWEVER, I was browsing some device info, and it said I gotta p350 board. ?#1, therefore, is, does that mean I can use info for the optimus me for my phone? Says the device name is "pecan/hazel", got all the same specs and everything.

Hello,
I know this has been asked here before, I've done about 5-6 hours of bouncing around forums looking for answers, yet I still remain stuck and confused.
Heck Jailbreaking my old 3GS seemed simpler!
Maybe I'm just used to that OS
Anyways, Im looking for a clear cut, laymans terms response.
If anybody is able to help, its VERY appreciated!
Im running an unlocked and rooted Rogers Dell Streak, build 6601
So far Ive been able to take it from being the "Rogers OS" to the AT&T one.
A guid I found here told me to do so.
I got rooted and have fastboot and clockwork on the unit but I cant seem to find out what to do next.
I tried streakdroids QDLtool video but my laptop wouldnt allow me to change the certificate signature checks off and I got turned around and now cant see "quaalcom HSUSB" in my device manager..
Im a complete n00b to android, I apologize if this isnt making much sense and please explain slowly
How can I get the Custom froyo on my phone from my current state?
Anybody?
Or do you know where to point me for more information?
This is driving me bonkers!
Greetings!
I just got a HTC Desire from a friend. This is my first smartphone and besides normal uses of the phone like calling, texting taking photos, I don't know anything.
Now, I can't use my simcard on the phone, but I know my friend could use his, so I suppose it's sim-locked and it's obviously possible to unlock phones without going to a store and paying them a stupid price to get it done.
That's where this thread comes in; For starters I want to learn how to unlock my phone. I've searched the forums and looked here and there for ways to do it and I might've found the solution. The problem is that I don't really understand the solution, because of words like "rooting/unrooting" S-OFF/S-ON" "Goldcard" and even "HTC Desire (HTC Bravo)" doesn't make sense to me.
Here's a thread that keeps poppin up in combination with Desire and Unlocking:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943726
But I'm afraid of following the steps on that thread because of my lack of information and knowledge about my phone.
Do I even have the phone they speak of? (HTC Desire(HTC Bravo)), Do I have the right androidversion or doesn't that even matter? Are there previous steps that has to be done before proceeding to use the "HTC Desire SIM-Unlock Utillity"? (if that is what I'm supposed to use)
Any help is appreciated even if the help simply is a redirection to another thread.
If you cannot provide me with help because my thread lacks some information, then please tell me that so I can try to provide the information necessary.
Thanks,
Jerry.
I used it twice for my DESIRE's worked well but I used iso version as it was ages ago
Any doubts ask in thread
Okey, so I should just do it?
And there's nothing I have to do before, and my android version etc doesn't matter?
I really don't remember what state my phones were... have a good reading throughout the thread then decide, that is your call
read the thread thoroughly and if you dont understand a term then just google it like "What is S-OFF?". And the HTC Desire is the HTC Bravo also.
Yep, read, read and read some more until you are confident you know what each term or reference means and what it is you are actually going to do with your phone.
Don't rush into it, take your time. It's actually a lot easier and less painful than you might first think, as long as you do the research first.
After reading ALOT, I decided to try the sim-unlocking utility since it seemed harmless, and harmless it was. It was executed without any errors but I can still not use my simcard for it. It doesn't appear in the list of "Network operators".
After some more reading I used Revolutionary to S-off my phone (even though it was s-off'ed before) since that had hepled for some people, but not for me.
If the phone was bought in say, UK, is it possble that it will never work with my swedish operator, or should an unlock fix that, regardless of where the phone was bought?
Also, any ideas on what I should try next?
Is it possible that rooting the phone and doing the unlock thingy again will help?
It sounds like the phone hasn't got your particular networks settings in it. You'll need to look on your providers website and search for 'APN' settings. In 'settings', 'wireless & networks', 'mobile networks' and finally 'access point names' you can enter these settings then set them as default and hopefully, job done.
I checked the providers info and entered it, but it seems that that info is mainly for internet and mms. It still didn't solve my problem, since it doesn't recognize or acknowledge my simcard.
Right now I just wanna throw the phone at the wall, then go stomp on it a few times...
Hi all,
So I've bought the new LG Optimus G today and tried to install internet on it, but after using a guide on my providers website, it still will not work. I filled in a VPN network exactly as they say, but then I have to select it, something which is shown on the guide, but isn't possible on my phone. Maybe that might be the problem? I have updated the phone completely.
Thanks
Hello!
I currently own a virgin mobile Samsung Galaxy s2 E4GT (sph-d710) and I'm having trouble finding any help on this subject. This phone has had a good life and I've since moved my number/service over to sprint, however my number is still shown in my phone's carrier information on the About Device page even after factory resetting it. My username is also shown and contains my last name in it. I wish to sell this phone on eBay, but I don't want my personal info to be revealed on that page to whomever purchases the device from me.
Is there anyway to clear my carrier info off the phone directly? Since my number is now on Sprint, my virgin mobile service has ceased and no longer exists making me unable to update the phone's profile or anything like that. I've searched for an answer and found nothing remotely related to this, but I do apologize if I missed something. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
And some basic facts about the device. It is currently running a rooted 4.1.2 stock rom on GB28. I was previously running CM11 nightly builds on it prior to bringing the phone back to stock. If you need any more info, just holler.
No comments? I would think this would be a relatively simple thing to do.
Hi,
Just something that worries me a lot atm and wanted to ask/alert people about. Probably 'a thing' that everybody knows about (?) in which case .. .well.. carry on, nothing to see here
I ordered a replacement motherboard for my LG G4 (H815) on ebay and the board I got does not seem to have come with the Stock ROM on it although it does appear at first to be stock.
When going through the pre-installed Apps I noticed that there was something odd though : it comes pre-installed with SuperSU (which starts automatically at boot). Even worse : I can't remove that SuperSU either, only Disable it.
When I tried to Unlock the bootloader at LG's website and replace the ROM (something I had done before so I know the procedure) I was told that the IMEI and DeviceID do not match. Replacing the ROM seems to not be an option even though it probably was rooted before to install the current ROM. I haven't tried to flash it with LG Flash yet ... so maybe that'll be the way out.
The more I started thinking about it the more nefarious this seems to me : a replacement motherboard with a locked bootloader that can't be unlocked (the ROM on it is Android 5.1 btw, not 6) which starts a SuperSU service at boot that most people probably wouldn't even notice and which has access to :
- Google Play billing service
- Retrieve running apps
- Run at Startup
- Prevent Phone from sleeping
That service could turn that phone into a zombi and considering that more smartphones than this one are probably in the same state things could get ugly.
What's worse, although I did disable it, there really is no way of really knowing that the smartphone is indeed 'safe'. I'm surely not going to use it for Home Banking atm! But even email or adding a Google account , or using facebook, etc already are things you probably shouldnt do when somebody else may have root on your smartphone..
kind regards,
Benny

Wow that's unfortunate
Maybe try @steadfasterX's SALT utility and see what info it gives you. Also, I assume the IMEI is from the software and not the back of your phone (e.g. the one from your previous motherboard)

hi, Thanks, I'll have a look at Salt Utility. Got the IMEI from the OS, not the sticker. It's actually not just the mobo that I replaced. This G4 is 'lego-ed" togheter from parts sourced all over the place so do not have the original housing I have a second, unlocked G4. This one was supposed to be my backup. Maybe the unlock simply fails because somebody else already unlocked it before - not sure if they could relock it afterwards , maybe they used Salt and didn't unlock...
Thanks for the response.
Edit : Come think of it, maybe the Device ID is not only dependant on the Motherboard but calculated from information gathered from other parts in the system as well like the screen , cameras, sim card reader ... who knows :-/ Might not be able to unlock any LG when any of those unknown parts is replaced.

. As long as you talk about the device ID displayed in fastboot it is coming from your mainboard and can't be changed. if you talk about the Android device ID it's generated by the ROM and that one can be changed easily

Good to know.
The Device ID came from fastboot in this case.
(and thanks for Salt Utility

I'd be interested to know whether the IMEI and device model from SALT match the values displayed in the OS
