Hello! I currently have a Motorola Milestone X (the non-verizon Droid X) on carrier Bluegrass Cellular.
I was running Liberty 2.0 just fine, everything was awesome. Then when I saw Gingerbread Liberty, I immediately bought Liberty Toolbox donate. When I flashed GB, however, my data stopped working.
I SBF'd back to 2.2 then put my carrier's stock ROM back on it. Data still doesn't work. I went to them and they tried to fix it, and it just won't work. Can anyone please help me?
This may be one of the rare situations where you are going to need to get a warranty replacement. I'm not exactly sure what happened
Flashing a sbf usually leads to the modem being flashed as well, which is overwriting your carrier specific modem. Usually smaller carriers are willing to flash your phone back to stock if you ask.
If you flashed the GB ROM you got the Verizon baseband.. the leaked SBF you can find for bluegrass may not have the modem file.. So you'll need them to flash it back and reset all the QPST parameters for their network..
Verizons baseband WILL NOT work on non-verizon carriers
Figure out who your carrier is partnering with like up here GCI is with Sprint, and ACS is with Verizon and that might help like if you know you could try and flash one of those ROMS.
Hope that helps
I am a Rodgers subscriber and have purchased a used Sprint Moto X. I have unlocked it so I could just put in a SIM and go. Is this my best option or should/can I flash this with custom firmware, updated Sprint firmware (KitKat), or switch over to Rogers firmware. Any other Sprint Moto X users in Canada out there? Current software is 161.44.32.ghost_Sprint.en.US

Hi, i need some help deciding which ROM to flash on my new phone.
I want the most vanilla experience possible, the one that resembles stock firmware the most, i have to flash a custom ROM because im not in the US and need to use a GSM carrier.
Been out of the Android loop for several months sicne my two previous phones were bootloader locked and couldnt flash custom ROMs.
I have Moto E4 Virgin from sprint on Dominican Republic and i just pop up a gsm Sim after open the brand new box and just Work On Stock.
Bought "Unlocked" phone, has sprint branding, seller insists that's how Samsung works
Hi everyone, I bought a Galaxy S10+SM-G975U (same model that all 4 major US networks use) that was sold as "Unlocked" without specifying that it is Sim unlocked, Network unlocked, or Factory unlocked. Most of the time unless a seller specifies which unlocked then it means the phone is Factory unlocked, I gathered this from 9 years of buying and selling Android devices so it's not just a guess.
When I got the phone Sprint OMADM pops up and tells me I have an incomplete activation, "about phone" told me it was Sprint Network Unlocked; after a week it now says unknown under "Brand" in the "status" section.
The seller said that when you buy a factory unlocked Samsung phone and put in a network sim card that Samsung then loads the branding (bloat in my opinion).
1. Is this true that Samsung could have loaded Sprint OMADM?
2. If true can I remove it so that I don't have to "Force Stop" it after each startup?
3. Is there any piece of software or database that I can look up the origin of this phone so that I can either change my eBay review of the sale and apologize for my mistake, or affirm that indeed the seller failed to disclose branding that he knew wouldn't go away when a buyer puts in an ATT simcard such as I have.
I've read one single thread by a user and not a Samsung official that claims that you can pop in a network sim card and then restart to change some software but I have not found even one more thread mentioning this phenomenon.
My background:
I've bought factory unlocked my Moto Pure X and a OnePlus 5 and neither did any ridiculous **** when I switched networks, so that's why I doubt this claim.
I bought a AT&T branded one for use on TMobile. It kept popping up errors. I flashed the unlocked firmware and it works great. I get unlocked updates and everything. You'll need to look on here but there's a walkthrough somewhere. But there are a few advantages for running the carrier branded version so you could flash the AT&T firmware instead. I wanted less bloat so I went with the unlocked one.
Think this might be the thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/sm-g975u-firmware-downloads-tmo-spr-att-t3908657
That said after I did all this I did read there was going to be a update to the firmware which would do what you described.... Switching firmware based on the sim card. Never seen it happen on mine still on unlocked unbranded firmware. Maybe this phone is running old firmware prior to the update that implemented this?
not normal. LIke you, I purchased an 'unlocked' phone and when I powered on, it was a Verizon phone. I popped in my TMo sim, and it worked OK, but I would get the annoying Verizon popups reminding me that I'm on on their network. I installed the unlocked firmware and it went away.
But there's more: when the phone had a problem, I sent it back to Samsung under warranty (still unlocked) and when it was returned, I just installed the original sim and powered on. Now it seems to be a TMo phone, and when I look at the phone's software version, it shows TMB/TMB/VZW. It's been receiving OTA updates and I've disabled bloatware, so I'm OK with it.
Just to be clear I'm not going to flash anything. I'll just turn around and sell it. I need a stable phone for work and I used to mess around with flashing different roms and while it was fun it was a frequent activity and I don't have time for all the annoying trouble this phone has been. Thanks everyone.
Flashing rom is different from flashing a stock firmware. In your case the only way to be completely off from the previous network you are getting the notification from is to flash a G975U1 or G975U stock firmware which is unbranded or your network branded respectively and you are good to go. I switched my yesterday and am okay ?. I will be happy to assist should you change your mind
