Hi. I finally bought the Xperia x1i a few days ago. But i noticed it said "Verizon" on the back. Also, there are a few Verizon apps like "Verizon Live", which seems i cant remove.
Right now im not in my country so X1 couldnt fully recognize my network, but it did answer to my Minutes Credit request properly.
Im not sure if this is fully unlocked, and if it is, if there could be any problems with my cellphone using ANY of its respective functions. Would it??
Please answer i would thank you a lot!!!
If the phone is accepting your non-verizon sim then it isn't locked.
However your ROM may have some custom verizon settings which you don't like, most can be removed via registery editing.
Another option is to head over to the ROM section of this forum, you find ways to install the generic ROM, or even custom made versions.
Oh well i thought of that! But how risky is it to install roms for someone who simply has no idea of that or programing? Im not stupid, but i would be good if there was a step by step tutorial. Are there any?

Hi,
I am not new to xda or this flashing things,but g2 is my new phone,and after searching a lot,I couldn't get specific answers to some question.so I have to open this thread. ?
In other phone I have to unlock bootloader,then start other thing.but here I see something said loki.I searched a lot to know about it,but I am more confused.
How to unlock or install this loki?or what I have to do before flashing anything to maintain this?
It will be very helpful if someone tell about it or point me out where to go.
Thanks. ☺
Is anyone ever going to make a full root for this with CWM or TWRP or is it a lost cause. I was following the threads discussing making a working root for this phone but no one is posting in them any more. I'm really sad because it would be a great phone if it was fully root able.
Don't lose hope yet. My roommate is going to work on it but he needs the source code for it. I don't fully understand these things but what I do understand is he needs the kernel and the uncompiled code so that he can work on writing something. So if anyone out there can help with that that would be great.
Nice thanks man well I have one idk if that helps

It might, it depends on your level of experience and what you're willing to do. More testers always helps, my device will be used for the first testing of things, and if I'm able to boot without any issues I can push it to anyone else willing to test it. This is still a ways off because we still need someone to help us get the stock source code so if you have any tech savvy friends network with them and see if they have any input on how to get that code.
For sure will do man

With all do respect.... I don't think he was bashing anyone....he was just saying he flashed a ROM that wasn't posted to XDA...more than likely there wasn't any other option to ask for help elsewhere since XDA is very helpful with responses from developers and others.
I was wondering if anyone that is overseas (outside america) could share an EFI backup partition with me so I can fix my phone. Maybe that would fix.
keep watching the echorom thread someone else had the issue as well.
I cant they banned me from seeing their forum when I reported the bug.
O I see. If something gets posted that might help I'll let you know. But 1 thing I saw already is trying to flash multiple times with Odin
It might not work the first time. Or the second... or the third. Try like 10 times in the mean time until someone can help. If all else fails there has to be a way to make a working imei again since you know it anyway

It was not because of unlock. My phone was already unlocked. It happened after flashing a bad rom.

write stock rom
This happened to me before in a old Tmobile S3 (T999) I had only edge network...
It was a headache and I was only able to put it back working going to a store that had BOX for flashing and do it myself with their box
and rewrite my IMEI manually during flash, as they were not able to do it (more say didn't have patience) .
I dunno if there is a easier way to do it... but this was how I fixed mine back then. But one thing is true, I lost a lot of time back then trying to fix it and if it happens me now again I would do a quick search and if not quick solution, try to find a guy that owns a box as it will literally save you days and sleep. However there are excellent devs around so they might be able to help..

Would u have any suggestions on where I could go to fix?
Quick question. What csc is in your phone now? Have to tried changing it again with a new one or the one that was originally on it when you got it? Like a flashable zip? Cos it looks like somehow the one you used must corrupt something in the efs... which is bizzare

I went to local store that usually unlocks/fixes phones, but I had a friend connection around.. hence they allowed me to go inside and do it myself.
Try to search 1st around if there is a solution, as it might be... I can't remember how it happened to my phone, but I was flashing lots of ROM without a problem and then it happened for some reason. There is a reason for it, however I couldn't find it as my knowledge is limited. I do remember that I tried, stock, odin, kies, whatever... and nothing worked until I went to try with a BOX.
IF you can't find a quick solution try to search around physical stores that flash phones, as they usually have a BOX and probably they might pull the S7 image already for their box... try to search a friendly one and take the purchase papers with you as most are not very comfortable with anything that might involve IMEI if you odn't know anybody.

It was the German based CSC
G935FDBT1APC5
However I flashed back STOCK which has
G935FNZC1APAX
The bizzare thing is my phone appears to still get a signal, but emergency calls only. When I #06# It shows 00000000000000 for 2 MEIDs. Which is weird as I don't have a dual sim model. This is even after Odin stock, no root.

Fair enough, I still have the original purchase, I got it from overseas, receipt, and sticker still on the phone. Even the box. at the same time i was wondering if anyone overseas, (not in the usa) would be willing to backup EFS and PM me with a G935F because I could use that meid in the usa. I have no intentions of going overseas to Europe anytime soon but I might go abroad if its oceana or Asia.
Hello guys someone gave me this phone to repair it,the problem it s he s not booting (mmc_read) problem. The model it's in title. Sorry because i didnt searched first for other threads about this but i need to fix it fast... Can someone help me? Thanks a lot!
No one can really help you if you don't describe how it got bricked. If it was run over by a mac truck, probably not fixable. If you installed a custom rom and/or twrp and things went badly, it probably is fixable. More info needed.

There is multiple threads on xda with your issue. I know this because I had this issue myself and it comes down to 2 things
Option A its a software glitch in which case the solution is to odin downgrade to stock kit kat and see if the problem still exists
Option B which was the case in my situation its a Hardware issue, in which case you need to change the emmc chip, or what I did change the whole bord which is much easier and quicker then changing that soldered on chip
