Hello, would someone kindly post a link to the best directions for unlocking the Photon and getting 4G working again?
I have been looking for 2 days and have found various conflicting posts on this topic...
My intention is to run CM9 Beta 2.
Also some of the links from this thread were on Megaupload and are therefore borked ;-(
Thanks.
Not happening on CM9. There was a way to unlock/ flash alien rom/ then relock and have 4g. You can check out this and see if there is anything useful for you http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?2113-ACS-HOW-TO-Root-Install-CWM-Unroot-Flash-Roms-Kernel-Themes!-%2818-videos%29-1-9-12
But for CM9 you'll have to go without 4g.
Ah, thanks for the information.
I guess I really never use 4G anyway because of the battery drain. I am always either on wifi or 3G.
To be clear though, flashing the nopudding4u does indeed return to 4G? If not, what is the reason for removing pudding?
-ron
Yep, flashing nopudding re-locks the bootloader and restores 4g. For me, having 4g isn't worth the trade off of being able to flash all the great roms we have.
So relocking causes cm9 to stop working?

If you flash nopudding while running cm9 or other rom with custom kernel, your phone will not boot. You must have stock kernel installed first.

I have a Rezound that's running the latest leaked official ICS. I do not want to flash other ICS roms at this time.
How do I make data work on T-Mobile USA prepaid GSM SIM card? It now works fine for voice, but I can't make data work no matter what I've tried.
Any help appreciated!
Did you enter in the APN

Use Joel's new Sense 4 rom w/ the patch for it to work perfectly. I know you don't want to flash one, but you should.

and the GSM fix is here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Rezound_Developers/Joel/
Called GSMFix.zip. Flash that over the rom.
Does your 3G work?
I am going to go on a trip to the Cayman Islands in a little over a week and I was thinking about snagging an international VZW phone to use while I am there. Last time I went I carried a sim unlocked iPhone and it worked great by just picking up a prepaid card. I know the Rezound had the radios in the beginning but I am having a hard time figuring out how well it works and where it stands as of now thanks to updates and what not. My question is, how is the Rezound working on voice and data and if I should be looking at certain leaks for better performance? Any insight would be appreciated, and if you guys think there is a phone that will work better for me, feel free to make suggestions.

The rezound is a global phone, if you whant a easy to us eno setup needed rom for gsm, use one of mine(Rezound Miaster) , when you flash this custom rom, just pop in any Sim card and it will work, no settings or tweaks or anything needed to do. you migh thave to enter your apns depending on your carrier.

When using Rezound Miaster for GSM, will I get HSDPA ??
In most of the post i've read before. Rezound were only goes as far as EDGE...
And if I want to use Rezound Miaster, I just flash it ?? no Clockwork Recovery ??

You're gonna get HSPA+ if your network provider uses the 2100mhz frequency band (almost every global provider does). Otherwise you'll have to stick to EDGE.
And yes, you do need recovery, though it's Armon Ra that is recommended not CWM. The later still got some bugs.

I flashed the ICS leak the 605.10 the one that's supposed to be the OTA one. I went to the Verizon store they said it should work but they don't know since its not technically official. It should work with the 4G SIM card. Is it unlocked for any sim or can I only use it with the Verizon SIM? I just didn't wanna post a thread about this.
Thanks

Yes, the rezound is factory unlocked by default, you gotta enable gsm by either flashing a gsm rom (and be able to send texts on gsm for a change) or simply root and look for the stock gsm patch that works on that leak you're running.

But in Sense 4, mms not working
I'm on the leak from three months ago in Afghanistan with an extended battery. Popped in a sim card from a shop on base and it works with no problem. Calls only though no data. I had to use the lte on off app to put it in gsm.

Which recovery I must used ??
Hi Luis,
To use Rezound Miaster, do I use AmonRa or CWM Recovery ??

"you migh thave to enter your apns depending on your carrier." this quote concerns me since I haven't heard of it before, I tried to look around but without testing not getting far. Anyway, Verizon cust, plan on flashing GSM Rom and getting prepaid SIM in Ireland. Do I need to focus on apns?

It will probably be sent automatically by the carrier but still, it may not and you're gonna have to manually set it up.

You should use fastboot to flash the boot.img from the rom's zip. Search the how-to up

Hi Abu,
Can I flash it from recovery... In the how to, it said to be flash manually not by recovery...
And how can I get to manual fastboot... while I have'nt pass the boot logo yet ?? should I wait much more longer ??
Last thing, Do I need to S-OFF first ?? or it can be done in S-ON ??

If you s-off it will be much easier ssince flashing the rom after wiping will be your only step.

After flashing Meanrom and a few other ICS roms I've noticed that mms has not worked on either of them.
mms worked back when I was stock but doesnt work with any ICS custom rom I flash.
Does anyone know why or have any info on this?

Virgin Mobile
Hboot 1.57
S-OFF
TWRP recovery
I keep bouncing around trying to find a fully functional stable rom but no luck
as far as i can tell these ICS roms are set up to run MMS on sprint. I used MeanRom ICS and it ran everything without a problem (im on Sprint). there are a few guides in the JB threads on changing the MMS setting for different providers. I'd go look but i'm sitting in class trying to listen......im not succeeding apparently.

You need to get into the epst programming menu and change the settings for MMS to the virgin MMS settings.
Howdy, so I am already S-off'd and rooted running an ICS rom on my VM Evo V 4g. As of now MMS is iffy and 4G does not work to my knowledge. I've been out of the loop for a few months and was wondering what I need to do to catch up on the custom advancements.
I think I need to:
Flash a new radio firmware?
Fix MMS?
Fix 4G?
Can anyone give me a lowdown on what I should get caught up with in regards to those 3 topics? What do I need to do to have absolutely everything working correctly on a custom rom?

You can try flashing to stock rooted to fix mms and 4g wimax but on aosp roms and custom roms, 4g doesn't work!
