I bought an unlocked Samsung Omnia 7 from Orange UK and I currently use it in the US on my ATT plan. Last night, I forced updated to 8107 yet the tethering option I want is still not an option. I have been searching this forum but I cannot find a step by step process to go about this as I am kind of an amateur at hacking/phone skills. I can follow directions just not figure it all out myself. Can anyone help please?
Look on this post maybe it help you :

Hello i need info or at least somebody tell me where to get info on how to flash the HTC XV6900 to Metro Pcs fro Sprint. I searched but could not find a definitely answer or a write up on how to do this.I just bough one from a guy on craigslist after reading it can be flashed and since my phone is dying anyway seem like the perfect moment.
I know i can pay someone else to do this but after my wife and 2 girls saw mine and watched a video on you tube of a flashed Touch they all want one so paying $60+ to get it flash plus the cost of each phone is not possible.Also there are people selling the software for flashing but i don't want to pay for something that may not work or maybe can't do myself after all.
Also want to note that i'm using linux on my laptop but have windows on my wife desktop.
nobody????

Guys, read this link HERE it will help you out with what to read up on, what files are needed and where to get them and a step by step on what you will see when flashing
This is for a Custom WinMO 6.5 ROM from NFSFAN though so if you need something else you can still use it just some of the examples may not relate but the idea is still the same
As for the Linux user - do this via your wifes desktop (I love Linux just have Windows all over my house for work as well)

People keep posting links to the HTC Elf/Elfin could someone use the steps to SIM and CID unlock their HTC Vogue using the steps for the Elf/Elfin without it bricking?
As of right now, there aren't any steps(that I'm aware of) for flashing/ CID unlocking the HTC Touch.
The best instructions I found were here. Just scroll down to where it gives instuctions for the Touch. There are even instuctions for flashing ROM via memory card(which I can tell you do work).
Basically you'll need the correct coke unlocker and the new ROM. First you flash the cokeman unlocker that matches your situation and then when that's finished flash the ROM. I recommend flashing the new ROM at least twice before you start using it. I flashed the new NFSFAN's v8 Windows 6.5 ROM three times and it's working way smoother than last time when I was running v7....which I only flashed once. The best advice I can give you is to have patience.
Sorry to ask this question, It's a simple one but all the threads seem to go into too much info. I've hunted through numerous threads, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I'm a Win 6.5 kind of person and Know nothing whatsoever about Android (Until my next upgrade (Sensation Hopefully))
In 2010 I bought my daughter a T-mobile UK Hero, unlocked it and is now running with an O2 UK sim.
She has never recieved an over the air update to 2.1, is this because it should come from T-mo and she now has O2 Apn settings??? On 1.5, I can't even find "Check for Updates" in the menu.
Is there an easy way and a step by step guide to this?
I'd like to use a stock rom, as I'll have her and everyone else to answer to if anything goes wrong.
Is there a thread or glossary that explains upgrading procedures and words like rooting etc. as all this seems a little different to Win Mo.
Thanks
a good place to start would be here:

also, please post [Q] threads in the Q&A section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=511
if you never want to root your device, just flash an RUU to the device.
you should find the correct one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622
I expect only a T-mobile one will run. I am not certain if this will remove your sim unlock.

Thanks, I'll give that thread a go, and I hadn't thought about the simlock issue. I did an over the air update on my girlfriends desire that I unlocked from O2, and didn't have a simlock issue, or is this totally different to an RUU flash?
Sorry it went in the wrong section. I spend most of my time on the Leo forum where there's no Q&A Section.
Thanks again
Does anyone know for sure if this will re-lock the phone?
If it does, can the phone be unlocked using the same code as used last time?
I seem to recall reading that flashing a rom doesnt affect the sim lock. Dont know about an RUU though
Does anyone received Tango update for LG Quantum? If you received it, what model/network that you use?
Also, is there any chance that LG Quantum will receive WP7.8 update?
I think the 7.8 update is going to be pushed from Microsoft so we should get it. AT&T makes it hard to stay with them with no updates.
Is there anyone working on TANGO, is it even possible?
Hey guys, I have had moved to Android and now going to buy my first ever Windows Phone 7...it's going to be L.G Quantum c900 since it's the cheapest...only $70! At&T network unlocked. It's going to be a secondary phone, I already have my hands full with Galaxy Note (& series)
I have been looking really hard all over the net and I have come to two conclusions.
1. The phone is Unlock-able using the LG Reg Editor
2. There are no custom ROM's for it perhaps no one worked on it.
Now that Tango is out, I would like to once again ask for kind developers attention that AT&T has not provided the update and it does not looks they'll give it any time soon.
Is there some way to port E900 (LG) Rom to C900, or any other methid to get TANGO update on c900?

Here is the guide how to share data via WiFi or USB, and it allows you to update your phone to Tango as the side effect if you choose to flash it to Telstra ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508150
Well, yes... Telstra ROM has to be cross flashed. Since my device is already unlocked, no mms trouble( besides who uses mms now?!)...
So should I first unlock(Jail break) it or should I first cross flash it? I think it gets locked(jailed) once you install a legit ROM?
Well, got a lot of reading do to. Off I go
Well I flashed Telstra ROM, unlocked (interop) the phone. But I still can't update to Tango. Can anyone who alraedy has Tango pack that ROM and post it here?
You should only need to modify the registry key at Local Machine \System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo. Change its value from ATT-US to be 000-88 (unlocked/non-carrier-specific) or ROG-CA (if you want to lock yourself to Rogers Canada).
mmm, those the CAB of tango works on our Quantum?
I mean, those cabs are intended fo phones without qwerty, so If I try to update with them (the one posted on this forum, no brand) I will probably make a mess?
I'm not sure, bit I think it'll work. SInce Tango is not phone specific, it's generic, so if a phone has a keyboard it'll detect. Now obviously this is a hunch. I'm not sure.

I have removed the targeting info completely. No to any network. Still no update.
asked in q&a but no response
hi guys,
i just bought a xoom in the uk as an impulse buy. usually i do a lot of reading on things like this so i dont usually need help when it comes to rooting, unlocking bootloader etc.
This has probably been asked but i tried searching and i just got more confused. I would like to know if the uk xoom (wifi only) can be rooted and if i can unlock the bootloader. i would like to install a jellybean rom if that is possible but i couldnt really find i guide on this particular version.
If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you

I'm sure this has been covered, must search harder!! LOL
Anyhow
I flashed this Rom on to my uk xoom. Doesn't matter that it's for the US one , well I've not seen any ill effects It also turns your device into a google experience device so updates come direct from google. You're a bit late to the party on that one however as they've dropped support in 4.2.1
Bootloader is unlockable through fastboot oem unlock ( this will wipe your data ), no hacking required.
That should give you something to start wifi!
Hello everyone,
I found a way to unlock tethering on my Nokia Lumia 520. This may work for other models and possibly for AT&T as well. Basically, I followed this guide:
Thread Here
I flashed the 059S340 RM-915 VAR APAC AU CV firmware, and after setup, just happened to try tethering and BAM, it's working perfectly. It was blocked before while using Cricket's original firmware. As far as I can tell there's no disadvantage to flashing this firmware, as you can change your region and language to US during setup, and Windows Phone 8.1 Preview is working great as well.
Happy tethering, I hope this helps someone else out there!
If anyone tries this on AT&T GoPhone or Postpaid, and it works, let us know!
Cool! Thanks for sharing.
Any chance you could follow the steps here so this could be made possible for people who don't have Nokia phones and/or don't want to re-flash their firmware? It would be even better if I could also get the info from the original ROM (to see what changed), but if it works now when it didn't before, that's very good to know.
Thanks again.

Absolutely! I'm downloading the Windows Phone SDK to do a Dev Unlock right now, and I'll attach the results to your thread over there!

I'm having a little trouble getting my phone to dev unlock, not sure why but i'm beginning to think it might be the new firmware... I'd also like to add that I discovered Double Tap to Wake is working on this firmware, but not in the original from Cricket... strange...
