I put this little Video together. I searched all over for a easy way to do and this is what I made. This will only work just after you have your phone flashed over to metro and before you load your rom. As with most roms you can not access the ## from the dialer after flashing a new not stock rom.
Here is the link for it.

Let me know if it helps anyone out. Thanks

I would like to be advised if it is good to update my Phone which is version :
2.6.27-a5504199
build : 1.76.66.5 146733
Soft : 1.0.0.A6288
Is this one recent version, is this usefull to update to anewer version... What I tried but not working troughout HTC.com
I know I need to root my phone, but what will it bring to my phone as rextra features or speed...
So, please give me your feedback and if it were your phone what will you do... ?
thanks for your reply
if it were my phone i'd install modacos custom rom 2.9
thanks, but what does offer it more ?
it gives you everything that it says it will in the first post of the thread over at modacos forums. or here at the forums. i believe in you, you can read all that.
yes I can read, and I've already read the topic at modaco... but nothing clear for me, and is it quicker than my original ? exept the radio update cwich give me better signal, what can I expect ???

it is way faster. and has some tools. and is rooted.
To add to what all above members have contributed , I can say that
Modaco is a master chef and adds all tasty ingridients and spices to our taste.
sorry can we just take a step back a moment? (sorry to sort of hijack this thread with another question, though related)
can someone explain what rooted means in terms of these phones?
im also new to using smart phones, great phone, though when something goes wrong its bit more tricky to sort out.

you can execute commands as user "root". means you can do everything, including access every part of the filesystem, delete/replace/alter every file. wifi or bluetooth tethering needs it for example. also droidwall, which can control web access for apps.
ok i understand that. so does that mean i could delete things like the stocks n shares app along with peep and other things i dont need or want?
Would this enable me to change the colour of the menu bar at the bottom or even the whole theme itself? if so could someone direct me on what to do?dont want to mess anything up.
but also as buzjay asks is the new update neccesary?
sorry these questions must sound so simple lol just want to make sure before i go delving into the bowls of the phone.
thanks
- yes
- yes. ask someone in the themes section who already did it or find out by looking at their themes.
- it is not "necessary". your phone does make calls without it, doesn't it?
Hi guys,
I am running the Lite'ning Rom v5.0 XXKG6 on my Orange UK Supplied SGS2. I would like to know if it is possible or if anyone is able to get the Orange Signal Boost App to run on this or any other custom ROM?
I don't really want to go back to the standard Orange ROM, but could really do with the UMA Signal Boost App as I get very poor signal in the office.
There is another thread which talks about this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036713 on the Desire S, but they haven't managed to get it to work, however I beleive that is becasue they are trying to port it from another device. Whereas we know it works on the SGS2 already!
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help or make a suggestion
Sorry to bump this, I was wondering if I was the only Orange UK user who would like to use UMA Signal Boost App on a custom ROM?
I guess you didn't see this thread then on page 1 of this forum.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208830
I'll keep an eye on this, because it's the only thing keeping me from running a debranded ROM!
Nope missed that, I think it was because I kept searching for UMA, which didn't come up in the other thread!
Suggest everyone follows the existing thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208830
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, lets hope an APK is developed soon.

Orange Signal Boost - I9100 / ICS 4.0.3 xxLPH - SIM Card Not Recognised
Hi all – I just wanted to give my experience of Signal Boost on ICS xxLH.
I followed the instructions given by 5aq1b on page 18 of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20803760&postcount=172) using the SignalBoost.rar posted by Joey2o11 on page 12 of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19692151&postcount=119).
When I restart my phone it does not recognise the SIM card.
When I copied the new default.prop to /system, I was given the option to merge with the existing default.prop.
Was this the correct choice or should I have first deleted the existing default.prop?
I've restored using CWM so no problem.
If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
I really do not want to return to the stock Orange ROM but I'm not so happy about having to stand at the bottom of the garden to make a call .
With thanks
I am also trying to get this working, would love to use a custom rom, but rely on the signal boost app! If anyone has any ideas i am willing to try them out, in the meantime i shall keep trying!

I have looked everywhere for the file. I cant us the Xutility tool as i ma on ubuntu. my emulater wont run so thats out of the question.
I really need a stock deodexed 4.1.26 rom so that I can mod and them it to my liking.
is there anyone out there with a cwm flashable zip or a completely wiped recovery backup that i may use to install on my atrix and do my theming and modding on?
Thanks a bunch in advance.
Ok.........Bump......bump...
I am not trying to be rude by anymeans when i make this statement, however i am finding the atrix community to not be very helpful. my previous devices communities are so much more tight knit and more than willing to respond to even the dumbest question and to help all members out no matter what.
Since i have been a member of this community i have gotten very little assistance with things that i thought would be simple to answer and give feedback on that i am really actually disgusted.
I am not interested in changing to a custom rom as i havent found one that i like and really just want to theme and mode my stock 4.1.26.... can someone give me a hand in this or did i just happen to get the wrong device and join the wrong communtity?
Hey there i got few questions i got Samsung Galaxy S II and i just noticed it has custom rom Omega 2.3 or or something like that(got that phone from my friend) and my qestions are how can i get back standard samsung rom? I dont really see any profits from that rom on my device and i think it would be better to get back Old one original since i heard that s2 gonna have update to 4.2 at the end of june .I dont really know how to work with custom roms so i would really like to get back original one can someone tell me how to get old one? I dont have acces to computer and i hope i can restore it somehow from options in mu phone please help .

This is the thread for going back to stock, but I don't know if it works without a Pc. Maybe mobile odin is a possibility. Search for it, if it hasn't been asked jet then go ahead and ask.
Verstuurd van mijn GT-I9100
Omg no idea how to handle that topic so another question am i gonna be able to update my phone to 4.2.2 when its gonna be released with custom rom via settings-> check for updates? If not guess im gonna go to some service saloon to recover old stock :/
Mobile Odin.

Ok, it'll flash any stock ROM you want by itself, no pc needed, only root.
More info? Search for it, watch a vid or something.

If that would be so easy for me i wouldnt bother myself with creating a thread here . I dont know what is flash and as far as i know i need some files to do that and i have to put them in some directory internal/external sd. I cant go to yotube cause my data plan doesnt count yt as free website so its charging me for streaming .So if someone care to help i would apreciate (browsing tons of threads with phone is painfull) so if you can help post me a guide if not dont bother to use reply button .
That's all good & well, but this is how everyone here learns stuff. If you're not prepared to learn, leave your phone stock lest you break it (I can almost guarantee if someone regurgitates 10 steps for you & you don't understand the why & how, you will have an expensive 'accident').
Or you could take the time to read the guides & stickies and learn.
You also need to lose the sense of entitlement. Nobody here owes you anything/XDA isn't like your carrier you paid money to for a certain level of 'service' (You're on ignore now, so I won't be reading any response to this).
Edit - Messing with your phone without access to a PC & not being prepared to learn a few things probably doubles your chance of turning your phone into a 116 gram plastic paperweight.

Hey guys I successfully rooted my sprint samsung galaxy 5. Works flawlessly. Now on to my girlfriend sprint mega. I've done my googling and looking at previously posted threads but its so much to take in I just confuse myself. Can some one who has already achieved this answer a few questions for me. I'm sure its been spammed here a 100 times just looking for anybody with the patients and or knowledge to help me out with a few things.
#1. Is there any mods that unlock the hotspot like there are for the galaxy s5?
#2. Could I possibly get a link to the best/most popular mod for the this device with #1 included
Its easier to narrow down the correct rooting tutorial. Its just having the confidence of finding the right mod and applying it. Do I need to flash a custom kernel or do the mods for this phone have them included.
Like I said any help is much appreciated. I'll patiently await your replies! :good:

None that I know of. When I try the Toggle it tells me it's unsupported. May need to have some things added and changed to make it work. You can always try an aftermarket app. Seeing that I do not have service on this phone and use it for modding purposes only.
#2. Could I possibly get a link to the best/most popular mod for the this device with #1 included
Not much being done for the Sprint L600 unfortunately. Unless you can do it yourself, you can try porting the roms from the other Mega's but it's very likely you will loose your radio afterwards.
Look for the 4-way reboot menu, just search my forum name for the post. You can also do a couple of CSC edits in the feature.xml file located in the CSC folder to get a couple of things like the camera shutter sound menu and the call button in list in your contacts. There are a couple more mods to come like a working flashlight toggle and am buttoning up porting the S5 Launcher for the L600 with Theme Chooser included.

Rooting could not be more simple for this device. Just download PhilZ Recovery or TWRP for the L600 ( look for the meliuslteXX version i9205), flash via Odin. Make sure the first boot is into recovery and not the OS after flashing the recovery or it will not stick. After, flash root via recovery through the options in the menu and and then reboot the phone. Once rebooted install SuperSU via the Playstore. After you should have gained root access.
Like I said any help is much appreciated. I'll patiently await your replies! :good:
