hello i have a samsung vibrant from bell canada
the phone is root and run 2.2 but im not root another person do
my question is
how can i go back to 2.1 official firmware?
Yes I tested XXJPC 2.2 Rom and loved the changes and will love Froyo when it officially comes out for the i9000m. Unfortunately I had a lot of problem with the radio. Specifically losing my 850 Band. I did go back and now running stock 2.1 Bell official rom. Please be aware you may have to fix your Radio and that is located here.

I've put custom roms on other android phones but never "unlocked" one before.
This is my dad's phone and his main requirement is to get usb teathering (at&t seems to have blocked it). I figured I'd just put a custom rom on it for him like cm7 which i use on my galaxy s.
his phone is running at&t 1.8.3, what's the best process coming from this older release? Should I upgrade to the newest rom first?
Sorry for the stupid question but i'm overwhelmed by all the info i'm reading in the forums.
There are some pretty clear instructions on how to do it from that version. Try reading the NOOB guide in this section first.
Unlock it from that version and then load your ROM of choice. I wouldn't even bother with the OTA version.
AT&T blocked his tethering because he didn't pay for it.

RSD to stock 2.3.4 (no pudding). and then downgrade back down to 1.8.3 (no pudding) using RSD. That'll get you where YOU need to be.

I just got the Verizon refurb... I let it do all the updating and then I rooted. I wasn't looking for custom Rom's... just the ability to tether it to my droid 3.
Verizon had some weak bluetooth support in the begining and I think I read that Sprint did too. I think most of the rom upgrades fix it, but I know the OTA Verizon one did.
I think what you want to research is HID bluetooth. I'm not sure it was available in 2.2. It is in 2.3.5
Sprint Custom Rom
not much out there in the Rom market for CDMA Sprint, most of the custom Roms are for GSM
Do you have the link you used to root 2.3.5 I am fine stock with a root.
Here are the directions I used to root my Galaxy Tab:

I got the update requests from 2.2 pretty immediately and went ahead with the update to 2.3.
As others have mentioned, there's isn't much selection regarding custom ROMs for the CDMA Galaxy Tab. But I'm fine with it rooted--it's not running Sense-level bloat so it's still fast.
Pay attention to my notations at the end of the first page in the above thread--good bits to note when rooting your 2.3 CDMA Tab.
Hello everyone,
I have a Milestone X on Alltel bought in Georgia and I am currently in school in Florida. I noticed that there was finally an official update to Gingerbread from Alltel the other day but I can't access system updates (or *228) while I'm in Florida because I am roaming/half-roaming (the famous flashing triangle). The "system update" option is greyed out as long as I'm in a roaming region and it would take more than half a tank of gas to enter a non -roaming location.
Will it be possible for me to force an update to 4.5.604.MB809.ACG-Alltel.en manually from a roaming network or download the update off the internet and install it/flash it on my phone manually?
I am not running a custom firmware but I am currently rooted. I rooted it the hardway (good ol' adb).
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Hi there. I have a Telus Samsung Galaxy S4. I recently unlocked the phone so i can switch to rogers, i was wondering if it is at all possible to replace my telus stock rom with a rogers stock rom.
I'm pretty new to this whole rom flashing situation and i'm concerned about bricking my phone. but on the other hand i wouldn't mind getting rid of my telus apps and getting the rogers ones.
i understand that rooting my phone will allow me to delete apps and what not, but i'm not really sure how to start with all this.
