4.4.2 carrier unlock to metropcs... went through the hurdles still stuck - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello all, new to modding devices but having fun with it!! These forums have been a huge help, but still stuck.
situation;
Verizon note 2 4.4.2
-rooted
-used buildprop editor to open apn list
-ED file explorer let's you wright files, so added apn in system/etc apns-conf file
-reboot all that, I added two identical apn scripts in the folder just to test, and I get
Two on my list to choose from.. still no dice. Have tried several things like switching gsm, global etc. Still nada..
I'm sure I am just missing something entirely obvious if anyone can chime in.
Thank you all in advance!!

Well... I really am at a loss here.. I am going to try and go by MetroPCS. Maybe its something on their end. Still, any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Soooo.. success!! In case anyone cares, calling up metropcs and setting it up through them did the trick. Done deal

registry edit in kitchen question

Hi guys so i got a a US cellular ROM and used rstoyguy's blank kitchen from ppc. I took out all the unwanted programs that i dont need and i wanted to edit some registry, the thing is i couldn't find the hv files to edit. the reason for this is when i flash the phone using this ROM i edited and go to SMS/MMS and go to mms options i could get rid of USC in the servers tab. I know how to find it in the registry editor manually but what i want to do is to edit the registry in the actual rom so when i flash it to a phone the server tab in mms is already unlocked and doesn't show me USC. any ideas? or should i use another kitchen ?
In my GSM kitchen, I can inject registry changes in an .RGU file or .PROVXML file.
If your CDMA kitchen contains such files, you could look to inject your registry change that way.
Make sure to use a Text Editor that supports Unicode format as well.
HTH,
So my problem was the text editor. LOL i feel stupid now. thanks a bunch
Phone: Location Setting
Start-Phone-Menu-Options-Services-Location Settings-Get Settings
The location consent form has “US Cellular “ wording throughout the warning.
How do you edit this? I changed a lot of settings already but still no luck?
Why do you want to change that?
im just trying to make a generic rom. Without any trace of any other carrier. When you look at the USC ROM it seems to be one of the cleanest and easiest to modify, easy to understand. Once i finish this, this may help a lot of people who needs it. so please help me pls. Thats the only thing i need to take out. I found the registry in these files mxipupdate_oemoperators_104 and mxipupdate_oemoperators_106 but once i edit it just shows me a black box with scrolls on the side. I coudn't see the original consent like the once found in the registry. Instead it is blocked by another page. help thanks

[Q] Need some help with downanimation audio...and a little more.

Hey guys! New to register..not to forum. Sorry about such a long first post, but I try to be as clear as I can, so you guys get my problems! I'm not sure where to post this, but this looked pretty good to start! BTW...I REALLY have searched everywhere, INCLUDING the "Bible" but to no avail. 2 Important (to me anyway) Questions. 1...I have my Amaze Rooted...Unlocked and S-off. I'm using the "Energy ROM" and have changed the Bootanimatio.zip for video..and changed the Android_audio.mp3 for start up...works fine. I also liked the "Energy" shutdown screen (TV shutdown) so I left that. I then added (through .xml) a Down_Audio.mp3 file...WOW! That worked GREAT! Now problem 1... After S-off, I had to re-unlock HTC Bootloader..Done! Then had to re-flash "Energy ROM" ... no problem. When I went to re-install Bootanimatio.zip plus the audio, it worked fine, BUT NOW I can't get the Down_Audio.mp3 to work!?!?! I have check, re-checked, and triple checked the path and it SEEMS? Correct. I believe it's right, because when I change any parameter, the front Bootanimation.zip, or that audio doesn't work. WTF am I doing wrong?? The mp3 plays fine, and even if I rename it..it stills plays. It just seems not to be able to find the path...System/Customize/Resource/Down_audio.mp3.....Please HELP!
Thanks in advance guys!!
Nobody has experience with this??

Issue 2... The ONLY reason I stuck that wire in my phone was to be able to change that Dang splash screen! I've tried ALL of the downloads for this from this forum, but I keep getting error messages...Not Valid Command...Can't find path...path not valid...cant't find adb...can't find fastboot..plus others! These show up differently with every try..not all at the same time. I'm also not sure (see I do read!) How or if I need to flash a different Bootloader...I didn't when flashing "Energy". ANY help would be greatly appreciated from a long time viewer, and now member, of xda forums!!!!
Thanks in advance guys!!

1) You may want to try checking out your default.xml file (/system/customize/CID/default.xml).
Look under <ShutdownConfiguration> for the correct down audio name and location. If there is no audio="..." you may have to add that in"
Look at the <BootConfiguration> as an example
2) not real sure about this one.
Also, make a backup before editing any files, just in case something goes wrong you can always just restore to your previous spot.

Thanks for the reply! I did change the .xml files for both boot and shutdown..boot A/V still works fine. The first time I flashed the new ROM, I was able to add Audio="\ to the down sound and it worked...after re-flash is why it won't work again. Maybe I should re-flash the ROM..but I really hate have to recover everything all over again.

Rom Development for Alps E120L and Other Mediatek Devices

I wanted to start this post to see if anyone was familiar with the Alps E120L specifically, or at least has any knowledge of rom making for any china phone with MT65xx processor.
I would like to be able to fix a few quirks with the phone I have and see if I can develop a rom.
The help I need, which I feel is encountered the most often and not always answered on the forum are:
1. My china phone is rooted, but the bootloader is locked. How do I unlock it?
2. I can pull the framework-res.apk off my phone, decompile and edit it using any of the apk tools, but I get errors recompiling it every single time. what is the problem here? By the way, I was able to successfully pull the same framework file off of my samsung galaxy tab, edit it, and recompile it with no problems so it is not a problem with me!
3. How do I get the gps on my phone to work without A-GPS? What files are responsible for the GPS to function?
The reason I need to know this is because my GPS doesnt work and I dont know if its because I dont have A-GPS enabled because I dont have a data service. Personally I think either GPS files are missing or they are not programmed correctly. I have edited the gps.config file and no success.
4. How do I get mms settings setup for t-mobile without data plan? I could send picture messages via edge with an old phone but now my new android ics phone does not allow it to be sent. I have tried pulling settings from t-mobile, but to no avail. Again, i dont nor did I ever have a data plan. I dont know if my phone just doesnt support edge or requires an internet connection or t-mobile is blocking the service? My APN settings do not allow for me to select edge as an option, either LTE or eHRPD as a Bearer?
If anyone is willing to help I thank you in advance. Im sure other people have similar questions. I will keep searching the forums for more information as well.

[Q] The connection was not supported by oFono

Hi,
I keep getting this error on my Nexus 4. I'm on Orange UK. This is the cat file
id=Orange Contract 1
uuid=49bda4ec-5427-4279-9bc1-cff80c08f8c9
type=gsm
autoconnect=false
[gsm]
number=*99#
username=eesecure
password=secure
apn=everywhere

method=auto
[serial]
baud=115200
I've tried changing the apn settings to
orangeinternet user pass but to no avail
Fixed the probem. I'll post here what to do in case anyone else wonders. Basically pushing the file is no longer needed. However the reason it didn't connect automatically first was because the apn settings were wrong in /usr/share/mobile-network-providers/serviceproviders.xml. So you need to pull the file change the relevant apn and then push it back

[Q] huawei y300 local.prop help please.

Hi, im new here, sort pf starting out with the small amount of knowledge that i have.
So ive rooted said phone without gaining the bootloader unluck code from
Huawei themselves, that said, the root was successfull.
I heard of a trick to edit the local.prop file to gain higher data speed etc.by editing hsdpa, hsupa etc, i used it on my old phone
And it worked great, the trouble im having this time is that i cant find the local.prop file.
So i set some permissions and created one, to no avail, the file created but was empty.
Any help to find the file would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
