Does anyone know if the Moto xoom will be flashable to boost mobile or metro or cricket like how the samsung tab is
Great question. I don't know the answer but the question is can any Verizon 3G work on Sprint/Metro(same company). You don't want Cricket. My quick look makes me think the odd's aren't great. But I think the EVO was fully ported to MetroPCS.. so maybe.
I don't think a verizon phone can work on sprint and vice versa. If metro works on sprints networks then a sprint phone could be flashed to work on it. It has to do with the wireless technology in the device. Plus, even if it was the same, I doubt sprint would activate it.

I doubt it honestly
My research showed that in some markets Metro has a program in place for reprogramming Sprint and Verizon phones for use on their network. However, I suspect they won't do it for a product like the XOOM.
I hope that someone figures it out. I am partially hopeful, I just bought a 11,000mAh battery for my EVO so that I can tether for hours at a time. Testing it right now with everything turned on, streaming tversity video to the phone for hours and barely drained the external 30%.
I'm honestly fairly ignorant on the matter so if I sound stupid give me a pass..
But..
If the hardware could do it, isn't it 'just' a matter of which 'radio firmware' is being used? (with regards to porting to a different carrier)
Motorola Xoom
Hey everyone, hows it going. First I would like to thank everyone here for all your hard work on these new android devices and helping people like me figure out problems to how to get these devices working.
I just got back from the store where I picked up the new motorola xoom. I've noticed that its on verizons service, but would like to know if anyone can point me to the proper direction as to how I can get this device working on crickets network.
I have a droid x, droid 3 all working on cricket data, mms and all working. next task is to get this xoom working on crickets data... any idea's as to where I can start off...
I'm not finding any informaiton about this device at all for flashing. I found someone who claims that they can root there xoom, ... its a start, but not really wanting to do that without consulting the professionals first.
please note that this is not my first go around with custom roms or rooted gingerbread roms. also please note that I'm aware this rom is the hunnycomb rom.
any help is much appreciated .... sorry about the spelling and thanks for all your help in advanced.

If by the new Xoom you mean the XYboard, it is not yet rootable. The original Xoom is rootable and has a number of awesome roms and overclocking kernels. Take a look around the forum and you will see many wonderful things. I'm sorry that I can't help you with getting your Xoom to run on the cricket network...

I must have the original then, I just got finished rooting the xoom. I do have a Sim slot that has a clear card in in, just in front of the microSD slot that says "replace with 4G card after system update"
So seeing as how I got this tablet rooted.... lets see if I can get it working with data, .... any help is appreciated
Basically, I have the option to trade my AT&T HTC One X for an Acer A501 and $200. Does this sound like a good deal? Sounds like a good deal to me but I don't know much about this tablet. I already have a Samsung GS3 so I don't really need the phone. The A501 is factory out of the box. Does the A501 use all the same rooting methods and stuff as the A500? Is there anything that would prevent me from being able to root this tablet and flash ROMs on it?
Thanks for any insight that can be provided

No Problem Mate.
Sounds like a fair trade to me. The 501 is a pretty good tab. If it's brand new out of the box. What I would make sure of though, is that it's not one of the ATT 501's where you are locked into their network. It's almost impossible to get ATT to unlock the device. And, there is currently no way to unlock it via hacks. You would be stuck with ATT for data access.
As far as rooting and installing roms, it can be done. But be advised, as with all rooting and flashing bootloaders, there is risk involved.
Yes, it is virtually identical to the 500 (except GSM and GPS), so what you can use on one, you can use on the other.

Thanks for the info. I'm not really concerned with the mobile data part of it. I'll more than likely just use it on wifi. Yeah, I know all about the risks involved, this isn't my first rodeo, so to speak. I just didn't know if there was some of the tablets that weren't rootable or something. Thanks very much for the info. I'm getting it today, but I decided to keep my One X and trade my GS3 for the A501 and $300. I'm pretty happy with the deal.

You need some help rooting and such, drop a pm. Will be glad to help.
Note that my PC is under repair and reformatting, so will be a couple more days till I am at 100%. Other than that, there are some pretty good folks in this forum. So am confident they will help. Except FFM , floating fat man. Yeah he's OK and a good mate. Just tolerate him. And he will steer you on the right path. FFM will read this, and if he doesn't reply, I will be offended.......

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I'll be on here looking for methods for rooting because I know the A501 is completely stock. I may send ya a PM if I run into any issues. I actually ended up selling my GS3 instead. I actually like the One X better and I'm getting $300 and the A501 for my GS3. The A501 has a little damage to one corner of it but I've seen it in action and all seems good. He's even going to let me swap back if something is acting screwy with the A501 within a couple of weeks. Seems like a straight up guy so I'm sure it's fine.
Since I know it's stock, I should plan on using this tool, correct?

Mr Moscow Desire did you how i can unlock wig AT&T and 501?

Your only chance to Sim unlock the ATT version of the tablet, is to first email Acer Support, then e-mail ATT technical support, and explain your situation. Explain that you live in a different country and that ATT service is not available, and you didn't know 3g wouldn't work on non-ATT Networks when you bought it.
You should always include your Tablet Serial number AND your IMEI number with EVERY communication. You will find this either on the Factory box, and also on the SIM/SD cover of the tablet.
Eventually, ATT will hopefully give you the unlock code. Each code is different and based on the IMEI number.
You may have to e-mail them several times. Always remember, BE POLITE in your mails. And go to a higher supervisor if needed. Hopefully they will understand the situation and give you the unlock code.
This method has worked for a few other people who bought the ATT/Rogers a501,but live in other countries.

Hi there,
my friend is coming from Korea soon, and I have a chance to get him to buy me an "UNLOCKED Samsung Galaxy S4 SHV-E330L" which is the Korean version with LTE-A and a better processor (snapdragon 800)
I have a few questions:
#1) Will this version work fine in Canada without problems? I understand we don't have LTE-A but it will just revert to 4G, right?
#2) I don't see a lot of support for that version. If I got it, will I still be able to customize it, flash the rom, and use files from this website?
what should I do? should I better off stick with a local version?
I just think the Korean version has a better processor, and I can get it for a good price + it comes with an extra battery...
advice!?!?!?!?!?!?
or I might just wait to hear what the Nexus 5 will be, it could be a galaxy killer
there is a Q&A section. cheers

He means you should be asking in the Q&A section since you have a question.
If it has a radio compatible with whatever frequencies your carrier uses, then it should work service wise. Check the Wikipedia article about the S4 and compare. As far as ROM's, since it technically has different hardware I'd say there's pretty good doubt it would work with these ROM's and certainly no guarantee that root and recovery made for others will work on your model.

2) As i have tried my best to look for the support from XDA but there is no luck, so i try another develop web and it works for me, again take time if you dont know chinese, All the rest, the device is extremely working fine. . Looking for Someone to sale it to go with the note3 LOL

Hello,
So I'm looking at getting the G2 for T-Mobile.
How is the Root and ROM scene coming along? It looks like there is a pretty simple and solid way to root, although it seems like only stock ROMs for now. Also I didn't see to seem a recovery thread for the TMO phone?
How soon does it look like we will start seeing the flagship ROMs? Like AOSPA, AOKP, PAC, etc. Also, with those ROMs, would it be possible to carry over some of the LG features like knock on?
Thank you in advance!
Just read a few threads and you'll get your answer.

Its like you didnt even try to read through the dev sections, there are already AOSPA, AOKP, CM and stock based ROMS all in the development section. You cannot miss them. Rooting method is clearly discussed in these threads too...
Knock on already works on these...read please.
This is an asinine OP thread...

I went through the threads, saw NONE of what your talking about. Went again, repeat story.
I see FOUR ROMs and ALL of them are stock rooted. Not a single other ROM.
So I go to android development, main thread there. Zero ROMs. EDIT: Found 2 modded stock in here. Both of them were in the TMO dev section already though.
Alright, original development, I see a few ROMs, none mention if they will work on tmobile.
On stuff like the CM ROM, assuming it works, no where does it say if knock on was ported/works at all, and NOTHING about the other features.
I still have no idea where you're seeing that AOSPA thread. Not in dev, original dev, or TMO dev.
Also, if you actually read what I said instead of being an assuming jerk. You'd see I said that I say the root method, and it looks pretty easy and solid. I didn't ask if it had root, or how to do it, just saying that I did find that thread, and it looked easy and like it applied to all variants of the phone.
So, why so mean? I read the forums, I found none of the answers. Then you get mad, telling me to read the forums, and again, nothing there. So apparently there is a magical forums with all these threads you are finding, and that's why I'm asking.

Excuse me you did say "ROM scene" so taking all the G2 ROMs collectively, I'm putting it out there that collectively we have all these Roms already. Check the Verizon thread as well. Those Roms I was talking about are there. You wanted an answer to your "ROM scene" you got the answer. Next time choose your words more carefully. Sorry if I misunderstood you on your question here.
He did ask about T-mobile though in his op.
I believe it's just stock roms at the moment.
Rooting is solid and easy.
Great way to get rid of bloatware.
I think we just have to give it time for "other" roms to come.

This plus a couple devs just got and or are about to get the T-Mobile G2...get the phone first. Stock is a beast anyway.
You're not going to need to do much tweaking at all because of how fast and fluid the phone comes out the box
By the time your treaty to stretch out your wings the Roms will be there waiting

Thanks. Yeah I assumed as much but was hoping for otherwise.
Yes I was talking about T-Mobile. I thought that made sense but I could see how the other guys read it as just a general question.
I already see some decent looking stock ROMs that should hold me over until a real AOSP or CM base ROM comes out. I assume we have no ETAs on that. The optimus g (on sprint) still has pretty much ONE person porting 95% of all the ROMs. He's great at it, and updates all the ROMs weekly, but still, if he fell of the face of the earth, that phone would probably almost never get an updated ROM besides the CM builds and the one official ROM, PACman.
I got the phone yesterday....and dear god. The screen, form factor, buttons on the back....all of it is amazing. At 67% battery life and it's been running since noon yesterday. My old optimus G is at 75%....and it's been running for only 3 hours. Such an insane battery, I love it.
I am waiting to hear back from Sprint, in a battle to cancel my contract and get some discount on the ETF. I actually have a decent poor service case so we'll see how that goes. Worst case I'll just cancel the TMO plan and keep the phone until I can cancel Sprint.
I'll probably wait on rooting and using a ROM for a bit. Although I can't STAND the high DPI (on any phone really, I always have most of my apps on my other phones at 240 DPI or so) or the notification bar. Is there any non root way to change that? If not I may root today just so I can at least change the DPI and look in to the notification bar. Quick settings aren't even that bad. It's that brightness and ringer slider that I can't seem to turn off. I can't imagine why they though all this, plus qslide on by default, would be a nice experience for the user.
Most of the rest of the ROM they got right though, with some pretty nice features.
Thanks for the help, all of you!
Bought a N-910S. That's what's floating around these parts, was a good deal, didn't think much of it.
But after the usual trip to XDA to find a good debloated, fancified Touchwiz based latest and greatest, I come to see ....
Not much of anything.
It's all 910C, 910H, whatever, but no 910S. Yikes. Yikes?!
What gives? Googled, searched, read, can't figure it out. No love for the 910S? Do I need to open my living room window super wide and throw this thing as far as I can? What will happen to the 5.1 update, and me-never-ever-getting-it?
Omg. Stop me from going crazy right now. Shed some light on this totally human life existential drama question.

Surely you jest. I would rather have the S version than the H version. At least you get LTE unlike me with my H version.
Well ... no LTE-A on any of the prepaid carriers here.
What about ROMs? Does nobody know? I quietly wonder if ROMs from any other 910x might work but not finding answers via search.

The N910S is the equivanlent of the N910F in South Korea. There's not much info about it in internet, they seem to be the same device hardware-wise. They both use the same SoC and Modem so maybe N910F roms are cross-compatible with your device (They MAY be compatible or may not, If you want to use a N910F rom, do It at your own risk. Remember that a different rom in a non-compatible device would result in a hardbrick so be carefull). Download a N910F custom rom, delete the "modem" folder and flash it to your device via CWM, it may work.

Good one appreciate the insight. Though... worried about hard brick.
They have to be selling millions of these 910s. This one came straight from Korea, s/l must be a big market. Odd that there'd be no demand and supply of ROM goodness, yea?
