Can I flash ATT 31-US baseband > Dell Unlocked 00?

Hi all
I am sure this question has already been answered, but I can not find it, either here or at Modaco. There are threads for the European basebands 21>00, but I can not for the life of me find the US equivalent.
Obviously, I want to get the unlocked Dell baseband for the 2.2 ota update, plus the features that ATT are sure to lock out.
Is there a walkthrough for this? Or at least, a link to the official rom?
Thanks

I would like this too
I am interested in doing this as well. I am guessing ATT will change the market, and will also not have the hotspot feature.

Good question...I'm sending back my locked AT&T Streak so I can re-order an unlocked US Streak once they are available in a week or two. If I could just flash it to the unlocked baseband that would fix everything.

Sorry a bit off topic...
dude that seems like a lot of hazzle why not just call ATT and ask for the unlock number?
If its warranty then I said nothing

Because even if I get an unlock code the 2.2 version that will be pushed out to this phone will still have to be the version approved by them. So that will probably mean no tethering built in. I would rather have 2.2 without AT&T's hands all over it.

This can be done.
I have the official dell 2.2 running on my ATT locked phone. Here is how it can be done, but it wasn't easy and I would not recommend it to a novice.
I am not responsible for any damage you do to your phone, do this at your own risk.
I first tried to flash right too the new firmware and a system image from another forum post, that didn't work and messed up my phone, so I used instructions here hxxp://android.modaco.com/content-page/315825/bricked-streak-after-update-to-2-1-and-rooting/page/48/# to get my phone to O2's 1.6, and then upgrade to O2's 2.2. These instructions also have you on the 21 baseband.
I then used instructions and a download from DJ Steve's post here hxxp://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/323484/2-2-out-for-us-bets-streaks/ to flash my firmware and a system img and a boot image, and now my ATT locked streak is at 00 firmware and running the official dell 2.2 froyo build. I don't have to worry about ATT locking my apps, and I also can install apk's that aren't from the android market.

Hello all. I just ordered my Streak today from Rogers, which I believe is ATT's northern brother so to speak. Why can't we just run Vanilla Android 2.2 on our Streak's?? It was my understanding that once full root was achieved it was a matter of porting the OS to our device. Now, im no dev so im probably talking out of my a$$ here, but its been done on the HTC HD2 which is a freaking Win Mobile phone! So why can't someone, say, port the Nexus One 2.2 rom over to the Streak?? Man this stuff confuses me. Is there an "Android for Dummies" text out there?

Yes, I am running the 00 BB and the Official Update. http://android.modaco.com/content/d...how-to-install-official-dell-2-2-upgrade-pkg/

If I do this to make my at&t streak essentially an unlocked dell unit because of the 00 baseband, will I still automatically get update notifications in the future when they are released for the unlocked models? or if an update for like 2.3 ever comes out will we need to manually find a way to install that update on the phone using like fastboot because the phone has been modified from an at&t model to an unlocked dell one?
Basically I just want to know if the automatic download and install notifications for new software (gingerbread) that may come out later will still work and it would just give us the unlocked dell version of the software instead of the at&t one?

Thanks Homiss
I'm giving that guide a go now.
Will post back later

When I go to flash the 6267 build I get to the recovery and tell it to do software upgrade via Update.pkg and then it goes to a black screen and stays there. Nothing happens after that. I have gone through the process on http://android.modaco.com/content/d...l-official-dell-2-2-upgrade-pkg/#entry1481942 5+ times now trying to get it to work. I had a 1.6 US AT&T streak. flashed to O2 1.6 just fine then this issue.

A big thanks to homeiss
Followed the instructions posted over at Modaco and flashed the Official 2.2
Dell Streak - US ATT (Unlocked by ATT)
-- Was on O2 - 2.1 (for about 3 weeks after using the homeiss guide for upgrading/downgrading)
Today:
--- Followed the instructions to downgrade to O2 - 1.6 (4399)
--- Followed the instructions to get 00 baseband and 1.6 (6267) flashed
--- Followed the instructions to get 309_00_00 - 2.2 flashed
w00t

I was finally able to get mine working as well. Some things I like about froyo and some things I don't. I miss the notification bar and menu bar from 1.6. Stage isn't that great.

can you share if your baseband is changed by this upgrade to 2.2 ?

Yes it is changed. It's now on the 00-US baseband.

thnx
i was going to upgrade too with this package untill i realised that there is a european and an american version. the difference in here lies probably in the radio frequenties used/enabled. with the engineer app one can enable these again so that shouldnt be much of a problem. have no idea what else is different.
edit: seems eu version has few apps more and radiofrequencies are different.

Do you remember what was your baseband and build when you were in O2 2.1?
(just trying to see if your starting point is the same as mine)
Thanks

Hello fellow Canuck
I was on O2 - 2.1 (8105) with a baseband of 21

Using the pages suggested by Homiss, I have managed to get to the O2 1.6 build (4399).
But even though I can modify system files after using Universal Androot, I can not get su?! I have used a few different terminal emulators, my preference being connectbot and they all report 'permission denied.
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong? I am stuck with 4399 at the moment which is slow, and has the flashing led issue! very uncool...

I performed the upgrade on my ATT phone today and am looking at 2.2 and it's beautiful!!!
Thank you Homeiss!!!

I hate my omnia7 becouse of ..

I don't know what to do ???
I can't play games!!!!!!
the problem is :
when I play any game ( for example ) all of the sudden the phone restart by itself , when the main screen show up then restart again and again ..
sometimes it shuts down and the logo ( samsung omnia 7 ) freeze and I have to hold the power to turn it off then, I have to keep it off 5 - 10 minutes till I turn it on..
It's pissing me off guys ... what can I do ..
I bought it from amazon ( with no warranty )..
please, help!!!!

K lets try to fix this issue. First of all.
Is it branded? And which version is it?
Did you update it? Format it?

Is it branded?
No . I bought it from amazon and it's UNLOCKED ..
And which version is it?
OS version : 7.0.7392.0
firmware revision : 2424.10.11.1
radio software : 2424.11.2.2
bootloader : 5.3.0.4
PDA : 18700XXJK1
phone : 18700XXKB2
CSC : 18700XENJK1
Did you update it?
yes , I update it to mango then return it back to pre NoDo and now I'm on NoDo..
Format it?
by format it you mean flash it , then yes ..

I guess the handset did not go the "official upgrade path" to obtain:
phone : I8700XXKB2
The reason I am mentioning it is because if you were to follow the official update path your PDA and CSC would be at:
phone : I8700XXKB3
Maybe that is the underlying issue here. Something that makes it act funny.
Did you return it to pre NoDo by flashing it?(which firmware?) Or reverting to a backup?
Did it freeze before as well?

Did you return it to pre NoDo by flashing it?(which firmware?) Or reverting to a backup?
by flashing it .. this one
I8700 XEN I8700XENJK1
Did it freeze before as well?
yes , since I get the device and start using it .. it happen all the time ..

Uhh :/ This is a bit of a stretch but it could be that your flash memory is corrupt.
I suggest to try and flash a newer ROM to it to see if it is broken.
If it persists you can always get it repaired. I believe EU law puts a 2 year warranty on electronic devices. .. I might be mistaken.

I've downloaded a KC1 but there isn't a CSC and I can't flash it ??
here no warranty !!!
I might take it to samsung center and hoped they'll fix it ..

Just pretend like you left the warranty somewhere... don't even mention it... act like a casual phone user ;D. When ever you start giving them details it will become more complex. So don't tell them anything about flashing etc. Tell them you tried the "reset" button hehe. At the end of the day they just want to process you.
TBH I think the warranty starts when you start using the handset. i.e. that's why they need the serial number. (I just noticed you are in the US)
I don't know about the CSC but I think there a couple of other ROMs out there that can be used that have CSC files... look around in the dev forum.
JK1 isn't the only ROM.

well, I'm not from US ..
does any samsung center will take my phone and fix it ???
becouse it'll be so much annoying couse I have to take it back to US then to amazon !!!
see how lucky I am !!!!

Yup any Samsung partner place will take it. Just have a look on the Samsung website. They list "mobile phone repair partners" etc....
When I tried to hand in my German phone to a certain repair centre in the UK I was met with bureaucracy. Excuses such as "its different" "cant be serviced.. only in germany" were given.
Granted.. I made the mistake of telling them that my phone was bought in Germany.... its too much for most call centres and receptionist at repair centres to comprehend and digest... I just went to another one and kept my mouth shut.
Simply put... come in. Tell them it broke. Tell them that you bought it a while ago. If they ask for papers tell them you left it at home and that they should check the Serial number or something.

my problem is that non of the samsung center in my country selling windows phone 7 devices ..
they might say: we don't know what the hell is this !! we can't fix it !!!!!!
but I'll give it a try ..

The Samsung Repair Centres are usually just "partners" they usually fix all sorts of phone but also have a certificate from Samsung to repair their devices.
Should be on the website.

Sorry for the off-topic, please bear with me sasukee, hope you get your phone fixed...
@ VonCrisp:
I debranded by flashing the ''I8700XXKC1_XXKB2'' Rom and phone was updated to:
OS ver.: 7.0.7389.0
FW ver.: 2424.11.3.1
Radio ver.: 2424.11.2.2
Bootloader ver.: 5.3.0.4
Then I tried to update to 7.0.7392.0 via Zune, update failed at the 6/10 step.
I used the Samsung patch, updated fine to 7392 via Zune, but the phone version remained I8700XXKB2, not I8700XXKB3. Actually I've never heard of I8700XXKB3. Can you confirm that you 've got I8700XXKB3 phone version, and how didyou get that?

I went there today .. and like what I expected .. they can't fix it !!!!
they said : this device doesn't exist here ( our country ) so that they can't fix it ..
I'm really disappointing ... I don't know what to do ???
any help !!! any thoughts ???

There are many csc's in the Rom development section. Just take the one that fits to your region/provider.

I flashed my phone ..
my new PDA : 18700XXKC1
phone : 18700XXKB2
CSC : 18700XENJK1
OS version : 7.0.7389.0 ( I'll update it later )
Firmware : 2424.11.3.1
radio : 2424.11.2.2
bootloader : 5.3.0.4
I did flash and while the phone flashing my phone stuck ( as usual ) in samsung logo ..
and I turn it off manually .. but now I have KC1
I'll give it a try and see where things going ..

OK, that's it ..
I'm gonna throw my phone at the wall and bury it ..
It's been worse and worse since I starting to flash my phone ..
the conclusion is : never buying anyting WITHOUT WARRANTY ..

I bought mine Omnia without warranty . Well in theory I can always send it to Germany...
Don't you want to donate your device to "hacker" community to create "hardspl" ("hardeboot" since this is Samsung)? Omnia 7 should be hacking friendly, since there is JTAG port (should be) right below battery below the FCC sticker.
But this looks like there is something overheating inside... There is no proper cooling, it looks quite similar to HD2 and other Snapdragon SoC-ed chipsets. Usualy reflowing it with either hot air gun or (as some people do with GPUs) in oven could help, but for how long (I wouldn't risk the oven, this is way more sensitible part).

Kernel discussion

So what is the latest with bootloader?
Lets discus everything here, where everyone can speak
and moreover that thread should be kept clean because a lot of work has still to be done.
the_laser said:
Greetings.
warning.
if you are not developer, please quit reading that post.
wait for user friendly tool with one big button.
here ( View attachment 712577 ) is toolset to permanently "unlock" semcboot of msm7227 semc phones.
that means, you can use own kernel and so on.
steps,precautions, etc.
unpack archive to any directory.
if you using eset antivirus or similar ****, it will find evil virus in adb.exe.
ignore that, it is not virus in any way, it is standard android debug bridge, bundled in one file to save space and usability.
now, if your phone unlocked officially:
flash phone with standard 2.0,2.1 android firmware,because kernel mapper module compiled for "2.6.29" kernel.
of course, enable "usb debugging"
run msm7227_semc.cmd,
( if you want, examine it before run, it is pretty straightforward. )
you will get similar output
Code:
process requires standard 2.x android firmware.
Press any key to continue . . .
Getting ROOT rights.
1743 KB/s (585731 bytes in 0.328s)
error: protocol fault (no status)
Waiting ...
Removing NAND MPU restrictions via SEMC backdoor. Permanent. Require ROOT rights.

Getting ROOT rights.
Waiting ...
Writing patched semcboot. Two step process
First, we need get access to semcboot area
504 KB/s (8064 bytes in 0.015s)
Second, we need to write semcboot ;)
1130 KB/s (596916 bytes in 0.515s)
successfully wrote 0003ff00
Press any key to continue . . .
bingo, your phone now has unlocked bootloader.
if your phone unlocked by setool2 software, use msm7227_setool2.cmd
if your phone unlocked by 3rd-party software other than setool2, do not run anything -
it will disable radio capability of your phone and you will need to unlock phone by setool2 software.
hopefully, mizerable flea and mOxImKo will release something similar for your phone.
okay, now about other details.
1.
unlocked bootloader require unlocked loader, yep ?
loader\loader.sin is special unlocked loader, which will be accepted ONLY after your "unlock" semcboot with previous steps.
to distinguish unlocked semcboot and original semcboot, first letter in version tag of semcboot output will be lower case, i. e. "r8A029"
( same applies for loader version tag )
so, all that stuff with signatures are not for us, so i removed them - loader will ignore signature part of SIN file.
2.
we should make SIN file somehow, right ?
for that i prepared "dumb" bin2sin utility.
[input] - is input binary file.
[partition info]
android implementation on s1 semc qualcomm phones based on partitions,so we MUST define it for our file.
you can get required partition info from standard semc sin files, it is first 0x10 bytes of DATA, right after header, i.e.
[type] - partition type, 9 - partition without spare, 0xA - partition with spare.
kernel partition is partition without spare.
if that parameter omitted, type = 9
[block size] - nand block size, if omitted, it is standard size 0x20000
there is example in sinTools\example_build.cmd
3.
kernel should be prepared specially to be accepted by semcboot.
for that there is tool bin2elf.
we need 2 segments:
segment 1 is unpacked linux kernel image, i.e.
( e10/kernel/arch/arm/boot/Image )
it looks like entrypoint and load address for segment 1 is always same for all msm7227-based semc phone, it is 0x00208000
attributes for image 0x0
segment 2 is ramdisk.
it looks like entrypoint and load address for segment 1 is always same for all msm7227-based semc phone, it is 0x01000000
set attributes for ramdisk 0x80000000, that is extremly important.
there is simple kernel example in sinTools\example_build.cmd
ps.
@blagus:
NAND MPU disabler has only one relation to rFoNe - he took it from setool2, together with entire idea for msm7227 bypass.
your 6-wings friend with many nicks done exactly same.
NAND MPU has nothing to do with memory firewall, so it will not help with kexec things, however, who will care now.

I like to take this opportunity to thank all the devs involved in this process, especially blagus as he was the driving force behind this, without him I doubt
the bl would have been cracked and also I am really thankful to an new X8 hero the_laser for achieving something that will change our devices and enable devs to develop our phones much further than ever.

OP, please include original post in BL thread from the_laser in 1st post, this will keep non dev's out of BL thread in dev section and hopefully keep it clean, Thank you.
I dont think true multitouch is supported by synaptics hardware so we prob never have real multitouch.
I think Blagus confirmed that sim lock is seperate to kernel so prob wont be able to unlock device from network.
Above comments need conformation from a dev.

So, the bootloader unlock is done. Now users like me Can know that "We must wait for a super one button press program." em'I right?

if we unlock our bootloader from original se firmware, will we still be able to flash a custom rom, i.e. froyobread and still have it unlocked?

Congrat to all dev... Finally our X8 can be free up from SE kernel.
So... To unlock we need to flash original 2.1 firmware... Then we can still able to install current custom ROM or we must wait for new custom ROM after unlock?

Can anyone sumup what doors does this open in terms of development? Increase in performance, additional features?

Nothing more than the hardware allows... next... kernel...

Except for the devs who will take advantage of this for making better roms u need not bother about it. No one forces u to do anything right now... use the phone and wait...

I'm talking about compatibility not asking some noob question, as far as I can see no one else was yet to ask and I was curious, so why can't I?
I wanted to know that if i unlocked my bootloader in preparation for custom kernels would I still be able to install the custom ROMs that i have come to so enjoy and appreciate, you don't exactly have the answer so don't come in and try to indirectly flame me.

i THINK i remember reading somewhere that if we unlocked the bootloader we could remove the fps cap. or maybe im just dreaming?

no more fps, meaning that games will be ultrafast?

just dont get too excited guys there are no official announcement especially from the developers. did anyone here tried to unlock there bootloader using that method and confirm if its really does unlocked/bypass the bootloader? For now answer "NONE", so i guess lets wait and be patient, disappointments are always around. My observation and opinion tells me that if its already confirmed Blagus will actually reconstruct the first page of Bootloader Dev thread for confirmation, that what i thought.

I unlocked the bootloader on my x8 while running GingerDX and MPU disabler tool. I think that you should wait for further information before unlocking your bootloader.
@Questioner
Is this unlock of bootloader a bootloader bypass or bootloader crack?
@Mika Dee
Blagus has reconstructed the first few posts already.

Unlock a BL isn't useful if there's no new kernel, and it will takes a lot of time to write a kernel.

yeah, whait for tsunami tunning x8

There are already 2 other threads about the same subject... Unlike u, I already saw ppl asking the same thing which u say u haven't... Do whatever u want m8. Whether u try the unlock or not this soon won't hurt me. You can put a tail on it and call it a weasel. I was trying to explain that the whole point of this breakthrough is the use of better kernel for starters... It's like you 're too eager to unlock the bl without anything to benefit from it afterwards. I can't do what the devs will, the ones this unlock is mainly targeted to, for now.

Well then I do apologise for picking the thread which seemed to be the most active, rather than going anywhere else to ask being as I thought this thread would be the place for me to get the quickest VALID answer (@SpyderX - Cheers for that mate, I unlocked mine successfully on FroyoBread V023b UD11b) And being as you don't seem to know what I do, which is testing for developers here and there on different sides of the Forum with my mates HTC Widlfire S, so why should I not? I'm not jumping to the conclusion that I will actually end up testing for any one of the many brilliant developers here, but why not plan ahead? As far as I am concerned you have yet to give the answer i was looking for, someone else has managed to help me out, so save yourself the effort of replying, I'm sure your useless comments are needed elsewhere.
Beans.

Little update: X10 mini pro are about to have their first kernel. Looks like devs have the capability to build a kernel very fast ;D. X10 mini already have custom kernel. X10 has their first bootloader unlock kernel rather than bypass kernel.

Glad some1 else helped where I thought the answer was obvious. Enjoy your phone... and u will be a tester after all for the devs. We all will be in the near future... The new kernel is still the answer to the usefulness of the unlock...

Hello XDA Forum, I would like to say sorry if someone has allready asked this question, i have checked the forum and couldnt find the infomation i need to help rooting my R800i.
the phone will not root for some reason. i been on this website offical unlockbootloader.sonyericsson website to get my ID.
when i try to Root the phone i get to step 10 (off the sony ericsson website) and the phone doesnt do anything. the blue light doesnt come on, it stays green. s1boot download pops up in my Device Manager but when i point the driver to Folder it says to on the site it says it cant find anything.

You can flash the generic UK 2.3.2 firmware without an unlocked bootloader, then do an OTA update to keep root. There are several threads on here about it.
Look for the thread about flashtool, the UK generic and gingerbreak.

[Q] [HELP] phone bricked by flashing the latest frimware from Huawei

Hi,
After some hesitation I just flashed the new General Overseas firmware that I downloaded from Huawei's website. The flashing process seemed to go fine, but afterwards the phone turned off, and now I cannot make it turn on again.. I tried charging it but no response. On/off key does absolutely nothing. Also no luck pushing volume buttons + power.
I noticed that during flashing the red LED turned on and off a few times, I don't know if that's normal or not.
Anybody got some help? I am quite desperate because I really need my phone!

Put battery out for 5 min and then try again.

I tried it, but no luck, phone is absolutely dead.

Ok what dis you flash exactly?

Hey, at last I'm not alone with this problem. I broke my 8800 pro just like you. 2 Service Centers told me that problem can't be fixed with "software healing". Only changing the motherboard or bootloader can help solve this problem and a bit of our money for a new device.
Tell me please details. How does you flash your device? With which firmware? And etc.
Read this thread! It's mine where I had described the problem
HERE

Have any of you tried to contact Huawei on their website and asked for help? I mean, it is their fault that your device is broken because of an official update, downloaded from their site..

I agree with this.
You must contact them, to push them for a solution and to inform them that this firmware update bricks the devices, so to remove it from download section.

The exact same thing happened to me about a month ago. I was trying to install B138 and after the update the phone turned off once and for all
Relax people the update process was ALMOST complete, that beeing said the phone is "clean" with no traces of rooting or other tampering. Take out your memory card and send it for service. They'll change the mainboard and all is well. Apart from the "waiting for a month to return" part.
If Wind Hellas and Huawei Greece actually managed to repair it for free everyone else is bound to do it too.

Does any of you know if it is normal that the battery LED goes on a few times during flashing? I have a theory that the battery might have gone empty during flashing (though its was over 40% full at the start). Yesterday, I accidentally dropped the battery; when I put it back in the phone it actually tried to start up and showed the Huawei screen. Then it went off again. Maybe the battery is just so dead that it doesnt even charge anymore (is that possible?)
The solution would be to try another battery or to charge it in some other way, so I'm gonna see if I can do that.
The ROM I flashed is U8800 V100R001C00B138SP04(Normal).
I did install recovery and superboot from Modaco, and i repartitioned to have more space for apps. So I think they will see some traces of tampering if I send the device back for repair. However, if the battery thing doesnt work, I will contact Huawei. I saw on their website there was a service centre of Huawei in Germany, I might go there to bring it for repair. Does any of you have experience with their service centres?

I had the exact same idea. The LED flashes red during the update but my battery was at 95% when i started it the first time.
"Off" charging depends on your recovery image, judging by the fact that some custom ones didnt offer that option at first. Did you have perfect recovery on? Try leaving the battery off the phone for a few minutes and then plugin it in straight away.

The Service in Moscow that is in the Official Huawei Service Centre List told that they will not repair it for free because the device was bought in China

Oh, ebay? Well.... Thats the downside of online shopping. I bought it from a store in greece so i just took it back :/

That's just pure wrong. You Russians have such a weird distrust towards China that even Service centre of a Chinese brand of phones mistrusts "China made/bought" products!

i think it's weird that official russian SC of the chineese brand don't want to take warranty responsability. so i can only tell that sh*t happens *pardon*.
