Hi there,
I have had a search and found a thread for the S4 that started off for Aussie users but became general discussion and was closed.
So... is there another one I can't find or that is specifically for users in Australia? I only ask because before moving here, I lived in NZ and had a hell of a time trying to get my first few rooted devices working correctly because of baseband issues and the radios not being correct for the network at that time.
I have had a look around and from what I can see, general information is ok, but its that one time, ya know.
So yea. Thanks

Hello all, I am needing to unlock an AT&T 8525 to use on T-Mobile's network.
Can anyone give me some cliff notes? Mainly just differences. I have unlocked and reflashed quite a few MDAs so I am just looking to see whats different on doing this to a newer phone. I would imagine lokiwiz.bat wouldn't be used for this? What is the OEM radio? Is there an official WM6 ROM available?
Thanks in advance!

Please?

Dude, its a simple question on the differences of the procedure of unlock two different phones that people feel would be good "tips" for me. I read plenty and it all just seems a tad different. If you think that your post was a great contribution to my current thread then you are highly mistaken.
Anything else?

When you search, or read anything, you may find people being more co-operative. Posting a new thread is very likely to get you flamed!
Since the 8525 is a Hermes in a coat, unlocking is going to be the same as any other Hermes based device. It doesn't take a rocket scientest to work that out!
Stickies are there for a reason! - If you'd looked through the first 5 threads in the forum you posted this in, you'd have found what you needed, and then, if you had an issue with that because you couldn't be asked to read the post, then you could have posted in that thread!!!
Or, as someone else did, you could have PMed someone - including me!, asking for clarification on the wiki page.
To be honest with you, I don't think posting in a thread 100 pages long yields great results based on my past experiences with XDA. Maybe that's just the Wizard section though...
I get what you are saying but I don't think you are getting what I am saying. I read plenty. I am seeing a lot of terms and processes that don't seem the same that I am used to so I was just looking for opinions. If you want to cripple your "section" of this forum by not letting someone asK for some opinions then so be it. I am not just some n00b logging in asking "hey how i unlock dis fone i got today?"
Hi All!
Do we need a sub forum for Linux / Android development for the HT2 now? The old thread in the HD2 ROM development sub forum is starting to become very cluttered. The amount of topics discussed in that single thread could definitely benefit from being split in many separate threads. I guess the information will be easier to find and the amount of "stupid" questions reduced.
I understand the need for cleaning up some of the sub forums here on XDA (that is actually the reason for this post), but I don't think moving thread out of their context is a good idea. The question asked in my post relates heavily to the ongoing development for the HD2, and will not get the right attention in the Q&A sub forum. People interested in (or having an opinion about) splitting Linux and WinMo ROM development does not frequently browse the Q&A forum.
This post is not of that type where I'm interested in getting a single clear and cut answer. The reason for posting the question is to hear peoples opinion, and maybe getting a discussion going regarding the subject. If I'm not totally wrong, discussion is what the other sub forums are for, right? If we are not allowed to ask questions in other forums than the Q&A, how are we suppose to be able to discuss and debate then?
Could any MOD pleas consider moving the thread back to a forum where the question would have a fair chance of getting some qualified feedback?
YES

100% with you , it will lessen the clutter and make the project look even more serious !!!
I don't think they're far enough along to really need a whole subforum for it. Maybe once we get a halfway usable version of android in a couple months, but for now I think the one thread is enough. I mean, how many different threads could be made for it right now? All we have is a bootable android with no drivers so far, so there's not many different things or subjects that could be made into threads right now.

I agree. Once the wheels are in place and we have workable drivers, then creating a subforum would be ideal.

Well, then we disagree
I think it should be locked so only the guys working on it can post

Right now one thread is fine, but when things begin to get underway we will need another subforum for alternate OSes for the HD2.

NO WAY is it fine take a look in there now and look how many pages been posted asking the same crap in like 40 mins n00b retards
maybe something like this could work in the future:
---HTC HD2 Android
--------------------Information (locked forum)
--------------------Questions
--------------------APPS & tweaks
No use the wiki for the android project not more forums
answer:No, I'm fine with the single thread in HD2 ROM dev sub forum.

i would be fine if it were a single thread, but it isn't, people are starting threads every few minutes 'why cant android run' 'how to install android' 'help, bluescreen' and on and on and on.

i agree 100% , of the 2898 posts there are probably 800 posts " i get a black screen "
Its all about whats hot now
6 months ago alot of posts were when is android going to be working on Hd2?
a month ago nearly all the posts were new cookie clocks
now there all blue screen, once its fixed and more stable releases are brought out the posts about this will drop down and the next new thing will be flooding the boards. its all about whats hot at the moment and in the future android wont be the hot'st thing
So I have just purchased and recieved my unbranded sgs2
Model Number - GT-I9100
Android Version - 2.3.3
Baseband version - I9100XXKG1
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.1-I9100XWKG1-CLlabeltest_I9100XWKG1
Build number - GINGERBREAD.XWKG1
I imported this phone and am Running on Telstra (Australia) and I have noticed that a new version of android has been released (2.3.4, 2.3.5) I have tried to get an OTA update but it keeps saying that there aren't any updates so now I'm wondering if because I have an imported sgs2 that I won't be able to receive a FOTA. Do any of you know anything about this?
Thanks in advance
Read the stickies, expect to be hammered by the old school guys if you continue with questions like that.
And how is the poll relevant to your thread?
Obviously I'm a noob at this. J came to this forum for help. not a warning. My poll is up because I wanted to see what people thought.
If you are new, please read. All info is available and very well structured.
What you say to all of us with a post like that is:
"Hey, I'm new. But even if I'm new, I won't bother to read and learn about my phone because is much easier for me to just post a thread so someone can spoon-feed me."
I was new also here, but I took the time to read all related forums and ask pertinent questions that helped me understand what I was missing in a procedure, feature, etc.
Cheers

I have been looking through the posts and have not come across anything that will help me, so I decided to make a new post, specific to my issue. XDA developers is a place for everyone to come for advice, that is all I wanted. Not you telling me that I'm lazy. You have helped me in no way whatsoever. So for future reference, please, If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.

You contradict yourself. First, you tell me that XDA is a place for everyone to come for advice, then you tell me that I should not give you my advice.
Again, my advice for you is to read and I say this because the way you look at things, you might end-up with a bricked phone since you don't show interest to read the HowTo stickies that are so important for new users. I'll do more than that, I'll show you where to read about your question:
Official firmware, compiled by Intratech (make sure you thank him)
Carrier firmware
If you would of read a little, you would of found these threads (and many others with similar important information) that were linked into zillions of other threads and stickies. Those are the things you should focus first, so you are comfortable with the various procedures described on this site. The fact that nobody replied to your thread should be a flag for you.
get an OTA update but it keeps saying that there aren't any updates so now I'm wondering if because I have an imported sgs2 that I won't be able to receive a FOTA. Do any of you know anything about this?
SAMSUNG have not switched it on apart from a few test areas as posted multiple times .
You noticed that a new firmware has been released read up on it before going further .

Thanks for your concern. And for the extra information.

Hi SGS2 peeps,
First off I'm a epic 4g user, my girl friend bought SGS2 i9100 so I headed to XDA right away.
Looked under SGS2 i9100 there are 2 developments?? Thats confusing I had to read through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175660 to understand what exactly the issue is,
Anyways to voice my opinion I DON'T support split at all.
Reason: As a mere new user I don't want to look in two places and decide what to do more than anything else it is confusing.
If any developer so want to then they can easily create their own web portal for e.g. ACSyndicate over at EPIC 4G, they have probably the best ROMs for epic and have their own website, however they still actively post new development over here at XDA as well.
Anyways thats just my view, I don't think it matters to mods. So the question is: Which ROM currently users are favoring? and is there any separate forum (other than XDA) for SGS2 to follow ?
I dont support the same question or topic posted multiple times .
Nor do i support questions posted in the wrong forum .
jje
Even I don't like duplicate questions but if above mentioned thread was not closed I would have replied to that only.
Well in any case if this thread is so much bothering, moderators can delete / move it, I'm pretty sure they can do this much after going all the way to split the forum.
I'm not sure I guess how the posting works. I have problems with a particular rom, but because I have less than 10 posts I cannot post on the DEV forum. While I see many others with less than 10 posts posting questions there even more basic than mine. I have read 100s of posts before I even post a question yet there are much more basic things being asked in DEV. Such as how do I flash.
This is very confusing since I troubleshoot computer and software problems for a living and usually have exhaustively(word? lol) tried to find the answer to my questions.
I know my questions sometimes could be answered in 2 seconds if the developer of the rom saw it but I must post in the general areas possibly never to be seen by anyone running the same rom.
Just confused. TIA for you straightening me out. Thanks moderators or whomever replies.
Bill
