Samsung SCH-i760 ROM
**UPDATE 03/10/08**​
I have found some useful tools to help me accomplish this, but still have some things left to find. Any help would be awesome, first I need a way to find what I can remove (useless files that take up space) and most importantly where I should to start to make this work. I'm pretty sure the forums will be closed later today, so if you could email if your able to assist me I would appreciate it!
What do you think?​
Hey everybody, I've been browsing this forum numerous times in the past couple of weeks looking to customize my i760 and haven't found much on it for upgrading it's performance. It seems that not many users have this phone, so I'm thinking of creating a ROM for this device.
It will probably take me some time, being this will be my first time creating anything for a PPC.
I'm asking for some help for this:
a) From fellow i760 users to get some input on what might be the best items for the ROM.
b) Also from advanced users on the best way to approach this creation.
All help will be very much appreciated.
I'd like to have some contribution to this forum, seeing how my phone has been completely customized from developers on this site. Big Thanks to all of you out there whos software I am using! You all have done a great job, I appreciate your time and hard work for it.
What are your all's thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.
Any question you can email me @ jtisr241 @ aim dot com.

I had the i760. I got rid of it because of the lack or roms.
And Your are right there are no roms out there, its not because people dont have it, but its something with the way Samsung makes their roms. It's not as flexible with as the HTC devices.

Thanks for the info, I still have a ton of research to do before I look into the development, I'll keep that in mind hopefully I can find a way around it.

hey help for all phones would be cool

I'm not sure what compatibility the ROM will have, another thing I'm learning.

I would love to see a rom that does not include the d-day and all the get it now and vzw branded software there under WM6.1 with the threaded MMS of 6.1 and the Palm threaded SMS. But, that is just a pipe dream, so I will settle for just a software update.
Thank you for your effort sir.

Thanks, that's what I hear, hopefully once I figure out all the odds and ends to ROM's I can better understand how this is configured.

I second the vote for a rom that does not have the "extra" garbage including that useless picsel browser thing. An end button deactivator (comes in handy to "accidentally" hang up on the wife, but most of the time it's a pain in the ass), a built-in S2U2-like app, built-in touchscreen inteface (ifonz-like I guess). Overclocking.
Overall better memory use, power use, touchscreen use, end deactivator (tried AE, it hated my i760!!)
Update: Oh you know what I'd really like to see - one touch access to contacts, then particular category. The thing I miss most from my cell phone is pressing one button which calls up MY contact list, not the thousands of contact in Outlook. So to recap press a soft key, get the personal contacts list category.

what is the good word?

yea there's def. not a ton of support for the i760; but i've heard that there will be an update to wm6.1 for it so that should satisfy alot of us owners if its true

I hope theres a 6.1 Rom!!

I hear there is and Verizon will have it for download for the i760 on there web site when they finish there part of it.

760 for High speed Internet Bluetooth connection
Hey does anyone have any luck using the 760 as a celluar modem? I am using PDANet to open the profile and I connect without issue but I can only stay connected for a very short time usually less then one minute.
I have also been all over this site and I am looking for a ROM and there does not seem to be much of anything available for this device. Has anyone had any success with the ROM or any update that would let me use this device reliably with my laptop. I am not sure if it is Verizon or a setting on the phone but it is killing me.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Todd

I just ordered a i760 so i can help.
i say no iphone interface, its not that good i dont see why people want to copy it.

Alright, it seems there won't be an update anytime soon from Verizon, so I'll try to get something accomplished here, it seems all I do is work sometimes. Anyways, I'm still messing with apps and plugins to see what I want to build here. As soon as I can figure which I want I'll post the news.
Any suggestions on what should be included?

i760 Rom Dump
@ TheChampJT
I've been watching this thread for a bit now. At the same time I have been digging deep into my i760.
I was finally able to use itsutils (from here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html ) to run the following commands without errors:
pdocread
pmemmap
pmemdump 0x80000000 0x02000000 rom.nb
That last one gave me a 32Mb file obviously titled "rom.nb". I was feeling all uber l33t until I realized I have no clue what to do now. I am trying to decompile the file I dumped with the perl script that Willem (aka itsme) posted on his RAPI tools site. I am trying to compile the perl script in WinXP, because that's the OS I dumped the rom.nb file with. Should I boot into linux (fedora 8 or Backtrack3beta is all I got) to run the perl script? I haven't tried much of anything with it yet because I just dumped the rom.nb file late last night. However, any advice would be much appreciated.
I think my i760 is CID unlocked, because the first time I tried to run pdocread I got an error that said "Have you CID or application unlocked your device?". When I was able to run pdocread, I assumed I had somehow CID unlocked my device. But I have no way to tell for sure whether its CID unlocked or not. Its not like there's a popup window on the i760 that says "You've CID unlocked you device!!" So that's my second question, how do I know if I CID unlocked my device?
I've been hacking away at this for a solid 12days now Well, more like a month or so. I always peek into my new toy's registry as soon as I get it and make a few changes here and there to see what happens. I've run the Windows Mobile Security Configuration Tool and set my profile's security to "off". I made some changes to the reg entries under the policies entry. I've also done the whole **33284 then set to DM then reboot and set data connection to Modem Through USB, connected my i760 and installed the drivers for the Samsung modem in that mode (they are different from the MCCI drivers and modem set up). As you can probably tell, I operate on a "try a small hack, then see what happens, repeat" basis.
So that's where I'm at right now. Probably TMI for you, or anyone else reading this, but I am trying to put out as much info/knowledge as I can.
Obviously I am willing to help get a working, easy to use, cooked rom. Let me know if you want any of the files I have pulled off my device or any of the tools or dll's that I have found on the web, or any of the print outs I got from the itsutils cmd line tools.
Ta Then,
Alqui
You can PM me here at XDA or over at PDAPhoneHome, that is unless you think I'm a total ****tard, then don't PM me anywhere.

T9 for the front.

IMEI-Reader ! Help-me !

Hi guys, I need some help !
First of all, I'm Software developer, where I'm working to make an automation for production in my company...
I need some software to read the IMEI and if is possible another informations from HTC phones....but the more important information is read the IMEI numbers, to store in our data-base to control the production !
If any know how to do / where have some software... let-me know !
Thanks in Advance.
Rodrigo.

Everyone here would love to help you out if you are able to start SIM Unlocking our phones.... so whatever we can help you out with, let us know.
I am not aware of any software that does what you're looking for, but I suggest you look up people in the Kaiser forum who have managed to SIM Unlock their phones in here as well as other phone forums have managed the same.
They may be able to give you the best guidance.

i dont know about software but *#06# tells it to you. tmobile has you do that to give it to them when you ask to unlock your phone. also if anyone needs unlock codes to help with the algorithms i have mine still, but will not post the ieme.

We should organize and find a way to Sim unlock these phones ...
I wonder what we would need ... if we can all get together, but one and send it to Pof or olipro or something... and get them to unlock it... or if we can dump the software off of it for them to look at.. any one have any ideas?

Unlocking my Orange Touch

Hey
Just bought a HTC touch, locked to Orange network, and would love to unlock it for O2
I have looked at this Thread CLICK HERE
However user 'pof' is saying I need to unlock my touch in 'RAPI, which means nothing to me.
And looked at this Thread CLICK HERE which mentions nothing about RAPI or any other extra files I required
Any help would be great
(sorry if similar threads exist)

whatwhat101, you've found the good link but you are not reading !!! Rishi says to install first Cert_Spcs.cab and then EnableRapi.cab, these 2 progs are attached along with the Unlock at the bottom as attachments.
Good luck...

HTC touch pin problem
Hi Guys,
I bought a HTC touch. I got an unlock code through a software in this forum. My problem is that when I put a foreign sim card, it is asking me for some pin number. I am not really sure what that pin number is as I never set one.
Can you help me reset it to some default number.
What is the defualt number for HTC touch. I should try that too.
Cheers

If you unlock it then kiss goodbye to any warranty from Orange. And if you **** up the unlock you will have an expensive little useless object of art.
Mine is on Orange and I think orange is great but now I have changed my white case to black my warranty has gone but I am still not tempted to unlock it, too risky for me.

[Q] Unlocking Desire HD

Hi there,
I found few websites that offer an unlock code, but I just wanted to check it with you guys which service is the most reliable.
My Desire HD is on its way to me, but it will be locked to T-Mobile UK and I will need it unlocked.
Any recommendations? Or perhaps there is a DIY, free way to unlock it?
Thanks

Yep, there is a free way to unlock it. Over in the Dev section there is a tool to Root, S-OFF, Unlocked CID & SimUnlock all in one.
If you dont want to do all that and just unlock the SIM, I have personally used http://www.unlock-now.com/ for my HTC Hero. I had no problems, and I got a code in 15 minutes.
I've just checked and they support the DHD, just make sure you use your Paypal account, "just in case" there are any problems, atleast you'd get your money back.

Thanks a lot for a clear answer
I'll try the "free" way first, otherwise I will go to the site you provided.
Although when you said about money back I'm not sure about this. I bought something once from one of the worldwide websites and something went wrong and when I wanted to get my money back, PP said that they don't support "other" websites than eBay. But it may have changed now.
Thanks for your help anyway I will definitely go for it.

No problem at all.
I can confirm that if you log in to your PayPal account then pay, you should still be covered. I previously tried to buy a unlock code for my Hero from >> www.htccode.com <<, I did not recieve my code and submitted a PayPal dispute. After 21 days or so I got my money back.
I wouldn't recommend that site to anyone, others may have used it and had success. Strangely Google Chrome now flags the site "Malware Detected".

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S which can be easily unlocked by code. A friend want to buy a HTC Desire HD, so we want to know about the unlock as well.
I was looking at the Tool Radio S-Off. I want to know if it's the same as unlocking by code, or I will lost my SimUnlock by restoring the Desire HD?

The tool in the Dev section is very different from a code you would normally buy.
If you or your friend is comfortable and experienced in using the SDK, adb & fastboot then you should have no problems in using this tool.
Make sure you read & re-read any steps before you perform them. I almost bricked my wife's SGS! - Fortunately her's did not have a faulty download/recovery.

I almost broke my SGS many time and I have a faulty device without R&D. Luckily, it can be fixed but I always check its avaibility before every flash.
My friend know nothing about IT in general, that's why I want to know there is a tool which can generate the code like the case of SGS (as I understand, the code is available in the phone itself for the SGS, but it may not be the case for the Desire HD).

I don't know how this tool works, whether it retrieves a stored code or not.
If you've read though the guides and its something you'd want to try both for the experience and an unlocked DHD then I'd be happy to help should you get stuck.

Will I loose unlock when Android will be updated to future firmwares?

No, once you have SimUnlocked your DHD that is it. It will not locked again.

Good
So is this guide good for the first-time-android-user? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857444
What's missing in this guide for noobs? Things like, at which point should I connect my DHD to the computer? Does all these apps work under win7 64-bit? Or do I have to install any additional software etc etc?
Thanks

[Q] Unlock?

I'm new to Android, but after some very brief research it appears that there are websites that will do it by submitting your IMEI to official servers to get an official unlock but no one has come up with a solution?
A friend has just got a Wildfire and I'm surprised it can't be unlocked - if anyone is working on it and wants some help, let me know. What's the problem? I'm not used to not being able to unlock!
I know very little.
But I do know some very clever people - who are probably not interested.
If I'm wrong, please point me in the direction of the solution.
If I'm right, and I can help. Please get in touch.
I know a bit about WinMo and Apple iOS - maybe it's time I started learning about Android....
