Root doesn''t work on Bell Vibrant

I suspect it's just because the update.zip file does not contain any mention of the correct model for Bell. The Bell model is a GT-i9000M. Anyone can update the zip file so I can try again?? Thanks.

Did you try the update method for the i9000? That one might work

Yes, I did. When it runs it shows i5800, i9000, sgh-i897 but not i9000m. I think it's a simple thing to just add the model number to the script, because I'm pretty sure it gets installed to the same places, but I'm no expert.
Edit: I found the updater script in the zip file and looked at it with notepad, but I'm scared to just add similar notations for the i9000M without some confirmation from someone who knows more.

It really is that simple as finding the few lines in the script and copying the two you need and adding the model name displayed in your settings > about phone.
I'd throw an update.zip for ya but I have to run soon. The worst that'll likely happen is the script won't run if you get the model name wrong.

nice so I'd give it a go

Ok, thanks, I know enough to try it. We'll see.

Sweet! It was that simple. I just added an M to the i9000 already in the file. Thanks guys for the feedback.

could you post the update.zip for other bell people?

What are your radio frequencies? im interested in knowing if the Bell Vibrant has any compatible freqs... Our vibrant works 3g for Tmo and AT&T, a first for gsm phones i think?

Frequencies for Bell are 850/1900. So it works on Rogers, Telus, ATT.

I still find it really strange that tmobile chose to add in utms 1900 to the phone...do they even have any unused spectrum in that band...its just really bazar

I don't want to know bells freqs.. I wanna know what the bell vibrants box says...

I couldn't figure out the button sequence either. I ended up using the tools from the AndroidSDK and the 'adb reboot recover' command.

Wow, if you're sure it can be done easily from the Nexus S dump then it must be true. Someone who can make a statement like that must have the expertise to whip up some drivers for our CDMA radio, wimax, and all the other stuff that is different in the Epic from the Nexus S. Let me know when all this "pretty easy" work is done so I can flash it.

it can be done easily all we need is cm7 source done

Sure, if easy means that you and all the other super smart guys on the CM teams spend time working on it. As for the OP, I'm guessing he hasn't been committing any code.

this is why im debating if it's worth keeping cm7. id like to be able to update the profile, utilize phone codes for data resets and update my prl's. i do not see why the cm team cannot get these to work, i mean they got 4g & hdmi.
at least give us a prl that we can flash, using qpst is too time consuming, so is flashing sense to do it.

I say its worth it. It only takes like 8 minutes to do the whole process.

Whats qpst? or did you mean epst ?

It's possible to flash a PRL update but someone has to pull it from their phone first. There was a flashable version of the last PRL linked in this thread.

im not dissing the cm team i just think it would be a welcome addition.

Mine just updated automatically after I received a call. I wonder if that's something new or of it only does that when it's needed?

[Q] will N4 ever see a ported WiFi-Calling app?

That's the next update that's in the wings for our phones. This has some new code for Bluetooth and maybe other things I am not familiar with. But with this update alone, I highly doubt tmo will "add" wifi-calling to the N4 or even ever. If they intended it, they would have installed it on the Tmo version/sold by of the N4.

Right, but is it that integrated of an app that someone cannot port it into a custom rom, from a t-mobile phone on jellybean that has wifi-calling?

I don't know the semantics but the gist is not just an apk. I think it intertwines with framework and that's a lot of shifting through code to bring one app to light. I mean there's a thread created with a reward of like over $1,400 to "port" it. lol

That reward thread pretty much speaks for itself then.. lol...
Yeah I believe for ICS it still was an app, and easier to work with. But I did notice that in Jellybean it's no longer in app form, and it seems to be tied into the updated sim cards they are running and I guess, more "baked" into the framework itself.
You would think they would come out with a stand-alone app for ppl without actual T-mobile branded phones..

Yes you are correct. These build prop edits do what you say. But as I understood the op he wanted the 4g icon to say ONLY LTE. Those edits will not do that... maybe I misundertood what he was asking. In any event, in my rom I edited the actual icons to say only "LTE" while on 4G without needing to change the build.prop which the average user doesnt really know how to do (although it is in fact, easy). Either way he has his answer...:good:

I would like for it to say 4G LTE but LTE alone is fine if no 4G LTE is available.

What @Joe0113 posted the link should help you get that icon. But just watch out when downloading something that reads build.prop because it might think you have that variant but you actually have a sprint variant.
