Ok, I've always run custom roms when I can and I hope to be getting the Nexus One soon and will be using it on Rogers in Canada...
Should I run it with the stock rom (root of course!!) and flash a custom rom?
I would run it stock for a while just to see what it's capable of and how it performs. Then U can flash away if U want to
I would try and hold out for the ATT band equipped N1 if at all possible so you can use the 3g on rogers.
Hi all,
I own a SM-A500M phone. The phone has unlocked stock rom (original rom is not modified by carrier) and updated trough OTA to android 5.0.2. I know 4g does work in my phone because I could use it with my prior carrier, but I recently changed to CLARO and with this new provider I don't have 4g acces, only H+ and it is really slow and laggy connection.
I know the following:
1) Sim card is a compatible 4g nano sim
2) The carrier CLARO has 4g coverage where I live
3) The phone is not the problem
4) I have tried all the usual FAQS (APN's, select LTE in config, reboot) with no success.
5) The phone's variant is right (latinoamerican brand), so It can't be due to frequencies or bands problems.
I asked for help in CLARO and told me that this has happened amongst users with unlocked phones (that is, rom not modified with CLARO's bloatware), and the solution is to flash CLARO's rom. But the problem with this solution is that CLARO hasn't released android 5.0.2 update (and I think it will never update) and I really like android 5 and wouldn't want to return to 4.4.
So, is it true? Is there a chance to fix this problem with minor tweaks? What is the problem here?
Since I recently acquired this phone, I would prefer not lossing warranty, so rooting and custom roms might not be an option.
Thanks in advance. Kind regards!
You could try to flash their rom and check if it works. Then you can be 100% sure that hardware/chip/network provider are fine. I have the same phone on since last week, but still did not go to get the chip at a movistar office. Maybe you need to activate the chip and they refuse to do it unless you get their rom. Maybe just getting their rom, and then flashing back the updated stock one or a CM or whatev would be enough.
Hey guys, kind of a funny thing; my T-Mobile On5 (I got pretty much for free..) had a hardware error a few months ago, so I RMA'd it to Samsung, and they sent me back a MetroPCS On5 (supposedly replaced the main board). I didn't really care at the time because I wasn't planning on using the phone as a phone anyway, and thought that I could just flash a custom ROM if I ever needed to and that would unlock the phone (..nope?).
Phone has TWRP recovery w/ SuperSU, currently still on the MetroPCS stock ROM.
Any way I can get this thing working with a T-Mobile SIM? Preferably with a T-Mobile (or barebones universal) ROM?
Thanks!!
I have been having service issues with most ROMs I've tried and was wondering the best custom ROM for use with vzw.
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.
