I got a big brick!

Hi all...
Just for know if exist a way to rescue my milestone 2, I get it really hot since I installed a lot of apps, so used app remover (the phone was rooted) to "recycle" or disable motoblur apps, but I didn't make it well. I get back all that apps but the original blur launcher and dial program didn't worked.
So decided reset to factory settings, now I cannot access to the launcher, so I just see the HSPDA indicator, cannot recieve calls, cannot do anything.
I will send it to warranty tomorrow, this is just for know if there is something to do before, of course, I cannot configure to usb debugging, so I guess I cannot do anything.
Thanks...

Flash the stock rom sbf with RSD lite, and you will be fine
you can find the sbf files here:
http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2

Download the SBF according your region here:

Turn off the phone.
Turn on the phone holding vol down and camera buttons.
You will enter in Bootloader mode.
Flash with RSDLite.

Yes, I read it before, the problem for me is not sbf from my carrier, iusacell in mexico, just telcel, but is not my carrier.
But, this phone is from the job, they bought more, so I have this question, ¿Is there a way to dump a valid rom from a partner with the same phone and then flash it to mine?
It wold be great! Since my phone was rooted, I guess the warranty is lost...
Thanks!

You can do a nandroid backup using the Droid2Bootstrapper from a partner phone, and copy to your phone and do a restore.

Hi, have you tried to install adw or som eother home laucncher using adb? I think that way you can fix your problem , im not sure if its correct but it should be like :
> adb install launcher.apk

Unlock BL and root on C6606

I know there are 100 different threads on both of these subjects but they are out of date, cluttered, and unorganized. So my question is, can I unlock the bootloader on this thing and root it, or not? Here's some info:
Model: C6606
Carrier: T-Mobile
Android Version: 4.3
Build Number: 10.4.C.0.814
Any help is greatly appreciated.

*#*#7378423#*#*, then Service Info> Configuration (I guess).
If there is written Bootloader unlock allowed: YES, then you can proceed futher for bootloader unlock proccess,
If there is written Bootloader unlock allowed: NO, then your bootloader is hard-locked and you can't unlock it, it's impossible to make it unlockable.
If there is written Bootloader unlocked: YES, then congratulations, you've unlocked your bootloader!
If your status is YES and you want to get tutorial, how to unlock it, quote my message and I'll reply regarding your question.
Hope I helped

The C6606 has a non-unlockable bootloader. You can look in the service menu as explained above, but it's definitely permanently locked.

Well that was a waste of $130 then. What about root, recovery and ROMs? Any hope for that?

Got rooted by using TowelRootv3, now to see if TWRP can be installed and such. I'm guessing the locked bootloader just keeps me from flashing kernels on this phone right?

You can use XZDualRecovery.
Yes, you're correct. You cannot flash custom kernels so can't flash any custom rom that requires a custom kernel, such as CM, AOSP etc.

I have a C6606 with a custom ROM and use TWRP. I run Rajeevs 4.4.4 ROM with no issues.
As mentioned before no custom kernels with locked bootloader. Stock based only.

Data and wifi are fine. I've never used wifi calling since I have unlimited talk and text and have cell service most of the time and don't really care when I don't and wifi is not available when I have no cell service. I know I no longer have wifi calling apps or what not. I finally have no t-mobile junk on my phone. It is nice.

Thanks for the input, guess I will check that ROM out. Been trying to get a recovery installed to no avail.

His ROM has TWRP in it. Install XZDual Recovery, back everything up and follow his instructions. I like his ROMs the best because there is no need to flash the kernel separately. My last Z bricked its self about 3 reboots after flashing a stock kernel with the flashtool.

My guess is that I have to flash a new firmware before flashing this ROM right? I'm on 4.3 right now.

Nope. Your ROM version is android 4.3 right now. Flashing the new ROM will update the necessary stuff. On first startup you might see messages like updating NFC drivers and so on.

No worries. Let know if you need anything else Rajeev's 4.4.4 aroma rom is a great place to start and is very bug free.

Well I can't get recovery installed because I can't find fastboot drivers. Tried downloading flashtool and it won't even start downloading. Any help on that would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my C6606 using Tapatalk

Hmm. I never needed flashtool. If you are rooted I believe there is one that you download the app, install it and have it install the recovery. I just got off work after the shift from hell and 12 days on and another 9 to look forward to so Im going to bed. Ill look for the one I am talking about when I get up if you have not found it by the. It will be in the dev area here.

Don't worry about it, get some rest. I got everything going now. Just needed the ADB files (not fastboot) and I got recovery installed, making a backup and will be flashing shortly. Thanks again for all your help man!

This is why I asked about data. After flashing the ROM, I had no data at all. I didn't know I had to manually add the APN myself.
Also, none of those ROMs contain a radio that has a baseband that allows T-Mobile LTE. If you're on T-Mobile, you're stuck with 3G or H+. So it looks like I'll be sticking with stock from now on.

Youll have LTE. Everyone told me I would not but I always did. I always had to go into settings and download the data settings.

[Guide] GSM unlock for Sprint LG G5

Unlocking the LG G5 Sprint model! ​
First and foremost thank @vittger over in this thread where the method was posted - HERE
Reason I am making this Guide/post is it seems like even though its been posted, theres not a thread for it and some miss the actual method of doing it.
I haven't tested or seen it tested on any OS below Android 7.0 so it may not work unless you've updated.
1. Download this APK - HERE
2.Install the APK
3 Open the App
4. Scroll down & Select IOT(CDG2)
5.Select LTE setting,Select Operation Mode, Then Select Lab Network
6. Device will reboot, Then go back to step 3,4, and 5, and the option Band25 make sure its enabled. scroll down to LTE Data roam config, and enable all the bands towards the bottom in that menu as well.
7. Go back to the Hidden menu APK main menu, ModemProtocol, RAT Selection, then choose GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto
8. Reboot and you should be good to go!
9. You now have you Sprint LG G5 LS992 GSM unlocked for both US and international GSM carriers
To Add your APN (for data):
Go to, The hidden menu APK, IOT(CDG2), LTE Settings,
APN settings and then add your APN for your carrier
Remember you'll need to set APN type to "default" and
authentication type to "None" or else it wont work
Tested and working with AT&T 3G/HSPA,4G/LTE And T-Mobile​ 2G/4G/LTE working perfectly fine in the USA. Also tested with a GiffGaff UK sim roaming in the US.
This method also works with the LG V20 and LG Tribute HD so it may work on other LG devices.
Having an issue with it stop working?
Disable your screen lock. No password/swipe to unlock/fingerprints - Having a password seems to be an issue with this method.
Here's a quick YouTube video I made,

This method works entirely on stock. Been running a TracFone GSM BYOP SIM card for the past month with use of the APK above.

Is this the same as the remote unlock? Thank you

Sort of but its FREE. It will do the same exact thing. The instructions are in the OP. All you do is download the APK follow the directions and GSM unlocked

Thanks.... Bro

How do we return to sprint? Can you put that in the instructions too?

Just dial ##RTN and enter your SPC code, which will reset your device. If you need your SPC code Give Sprint your IMEI and they can provide it.

Thanks,
RTN would do a reset of all sw or just the provisioning/network/sim setup?

Will this work on a Boost LG Stylo 2? I have tried and it is not unlocked and I cannot find "scroll down to LTE Data roam config, and enable all the bands towards the bottom in that menu as well. " this part in the app.
FYI it has Android 7.0 on it.
Thanks

Its not supposed too so I wouldn't think in would. But it probably doesn't hurt to try at least. But it's doubtful.

same issue with somebody mentioned before, I was using on at&t and after a reboot, it will display no sim no matter what you do, have to do a R&D reset to make it work again, and this has happened 2 times for me. anyone have solutions?

This has never happened to me. Only way I can see it happening is unless your phone had an update, or something Sprint wise is doing something. Did you do a FULL reset before doing so? As in ##RTN#? Where it wipes all the Sprint carrier config etc?

Lost LTE after PIE

Hello guys.
I have an issue since I decided to flash a pie rom, specifically simplix blue, have no idea if has something to do with that rom.
I used to have LTE as normal and everything was good. Since I flashed a PIE rom I lost LTE. I tried going back to stock and LTE is still gone. Had tried flashing some modems, did not work either. Tried several radio combinations on *#*#4636#*#* did not work.
Any suggestions? I am on Tigo Colombia as carrier and never had this issue before across several xiaomi devices that I have had

I had found a solution already. It is kinda long so tomorrow I Will post a guide. For some reason the band 4 that was the one that my carrier uses was blocked. So I had to unblock it
I have seen several people here with similar issues and not being able yo Solve it. Hopefully the tutorial that I Will make, help them as well.

Yep, I have been quite busy, as soon as I have time, I will post a tutorial. Meanwhile, take a look at this post, read first part of post 3 and then post 7.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/how-to/enabled-4g-ca-p2-t3707584
As soon as you finish adding the band, install network signal guru, provide root admin rights and then select on the 3 dots at the top right corner lock bands, select lte and pick up the band missing and reboot.

Also facing this, I'm waiting for tutorial.

Here it is.

totally frustrated, how do I restore the stock ROM to the xt907

I has a previous flash from someone else and is rooted and has 4.1.2 but to make things bad it was programmed to only get 3g and I can't even factory reset it because it seems someone locked that up so it can't be accidentally unflashed. It was flashed to work on Pageplus Network years ago and 4g wasn't available on their network at that time hence 4G was disabled intentionally so the phone would work on that network.crazy
Noteon't assume I know anything about the process!
