I have an LG-P509 from T-Mobile. Recently, I flashed the Megatron ROM, but was not able to unlock my "new P500". (Calls and sms worked fine, but no 3G and the phone was no longer listed as a T-Mobile device.) I cannot be without 3G service, so I reflashed the Nand backup from my original stock setup without wiping anything. Expecting the LG splash I was surprised that my phone is still running Megatron and is still listed as "P500".
What specific files are responsible for identifying a phone to a specific 3G carrier? It seems that my phone is now a "mash" of two different ROM's. I am OC'd and running just fine even though I may not be running as efficiently as possible. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would like to isolate the files needed for my phone to stay on T-Mobile and copy them into custom ROMs for convenience (and the challenge).
Thank you!
Brian
I have the same phone as you, but Im running mik's cyanogen port and ive never had the problems your having. I've never ran megatron, but I've ran several others as well and always had 3g. Your carrier and stuff like that comes from your sim card, not any files on the phone. You should give miks cyanogen mod a shot.. just make sure to follow his instructions, and wipe everything first.

That is what I thought, but when I loaded Megaton my phone was locked. I'm going to try a few T-mobile Roms & see what happens. As long as I can learn without making a brick...

Yes you can root with z4 root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953 and i also suggest you install a custom recovery and ROM here http://tablet-crunch.blogspot.com/20...overy-rom.html I am overclocked using Setcpu at 806mhz on megatron ROM it is a safe way to root and put in custom ROM i dont know about your phone but even rooted with setcpu it wouldnt overclock past 600 the best kernal to use is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929941 its very fast and fixes the touch screen bug
I posted this for someone else but it will work for you I sugest using milsos Cyogen Mod 7 for your Rom here is the link please be sure to read all instructions and its not my fault if you **** your phone up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
My complete phone history is as follows:
Z4Root - Successful
Thundurg Recovery v1.2.1 - Successful
Nand Backup + .android secure - got the .img to prove it
Complete wipe & SDCard format
Flashed Megaton - Successful
Opening the T-mobile My Device app results in a locked phone message. Browser will not connect to the internet. Phone & SMS work correctly.
Restored the original Nand backup from adb shell.
Phone is still running Megaton & is listed as a P500. I can overclock to 806 with no problems.
There has to be a certain file or set of files that makes the words T-mobile display at the top of the notifications.
I'm going to flash a different Rom this afternoon to see what happens.

Hi all...
I just got my first Android phone... is an X10i...
I have version 2.1-update1 on it, and i tried 2 custom roms (2.2) with the install from SDcard.
After installing first rom (Froyo_2.2.1_xperia_TripNRaVeR-v1.0.zip) the result you can see it here: 220.ro/documentare/MOV01113/AVtgAccdjh/
After this, i instaled the 2nd rom (FreeX10-beta4.zip + gapps_FreeX10.zip); the result was: it work perfectly but after 30 seconds it was rebooting. it never stops.. the phone start again, and after 30 seconds , again reboot... and so on.
I must mention that the phone is SIM locked, and to work in my network i must unlock it... can this be a problem? if not can any one help me to fix this?
Or can anyone tell me where to find a custom rom that can be flashed with x10flasher? because when i install the rom from SDcard, is loading normally untill 50%, but when it reach 50%, he instantly go to 100%
Some info about my phone:
model: x10i
firmware: 2.1-update1
baseband: 2.1.54
kernel: 2.6.29
Can anyone tell me what is the problem and advice me what to do?
Thanks in advance.

For now you can only flash stock 2.1 roms using the flashtool, everything else you have to use xrecovery.
As far as your phone being sim locked, I really don't think that's related to any of the issues you've mentioned.
Here's what I suggest:
- use the flashtool to flash it back to stock 2.1
- root
- install xrecovery
- try Wolfbreak's custom 2.2 rom from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945264
the instructions on the first post are kinda confusing but let me know if you have any other questions. Make sure to use the thanks button if any of this helps.
To install custom ROMs, your phone needs to be rooted and then install the ROMs via xrecovery.
Also for Trip's Froyo or Gingerbread ROM, it is preferable to on bb49..

@Lockon Stratos
this rom is working good, is only rom that installs properly and work without reboot, but SDcard is not working, and when i applyed the hotfix, it enter into a reboot loop
@regencyhood
i tried MIUI... same problem... reboot loop
***********************************
i tried again all roms that i have downloaded until now from here, but unsuccessfully
I do not understand why, but ROMs are not installed correctly (i have root and xrecovery installed, i made factory restore, wipe cache, format cache, wipe dalvik cache).
so i think i will stay on 2.1
I was very enthusiastic when i got it, but i see that is not such a great phone with no official update for 2.2, and is low on internal memory (only 465MB data memory and 280MB RAM).

Reason for Reboot on MIUI is because you are on baseband 54 (i.e 2.1.54)....
Recommended baseband is 49, either you flash and change your bb or you can apply a patch... all the necessary help regarding bb is given in the link in my above post...
hope i was helpful
So which one do you want to use trip's froyo or Z's froyo? I hate to say this but I have a feeling it's something you're doing in between installs that could be causing the problem. I say pick one that you want to use/test, flash back to stock 2.1 using je flashtool, root, install xrecovery then flash just one of the custom froyo roms using xrecovery.

Yes, it will work.
Regarding the camera I am using "TripNMiUI FINAL 1.0.63" ROM, and the camera is working a-OK. (Pic and Vid included)
Zoom results in FC for me in the stock and MIUI camera app, because of which I use Vignette....

Hi all,
I have been on xda-dev for years and my new Streak arrives tomorrow. I have read a ton of posts all over this section including the wiki and faq's but if someone could help me with a few basic questions that would be great.
I'm assuming my streak will arrive with 2.2 (froyo) or do they still come with 1.6 on ?
What is the best course of action for me rom wise ? I run a very lightweight rooted 2.3.4 rom on my Nexus S and would like something similarly light on my Streak. Can I just root the standard 2.2 (and strip out the bloat) or am I best off installing a custom rom (maybe Streakdroid 1.9) right off the bat ?
Really excited about my new purchase and looking forward to contributing.
Thanks in advance.
maltloaf
The closest thing to 2.3.4 is djsteves gingerstreak 2.0
It still needs a little work but is looking pretty good.
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
I don't particularly need gingerbread just lightweight, fast and rooted
Streakdroid 1.9 with baseband 354 is super light. You can root through rom installation or through flashing superuser.zip.
You'll need clockwork recovery or streakrecovery (or whatever) to do most of this.
When I got my phone in feb/march it had 1.6. When I got my replacement it had 2.2. You'll want a launcher (i'm sure you know) because the dell launcher is meh.
it arrived this morning with 2.2 on it. I updated with the official update to 2.2.2 and rooted by fastboot flashing streakmod recovery and then superuser.zip.
Feels a bit sluggish at the mo so have installed SPB Shell 3D (as I had already bought it) and that's a bit more spritely than stageUI but will have a look at streakdroid 1.9 before I play too much I think. I quite like the dell widgets but I can see how the novelty would wear off quickly.
ok noob question. My baseband reads as GAUSB1A135100-EU
am i ok using that with streakdroid 1.9 or do I need to flash the one in the streakdroid thread (or some other) ?
many thanks again.

Sent from the Almighty Streak!
my suggestion is to upgrade to stock 354.
remove the bloat
remove dell stage ui and widgets and go with adw launcher or launcherpro
don't load more then 20-30 apps..
you will be screaming...
you can use a flashable zip to root, or use gingerbreak to root.
Thanks for the replies...
Which one is 354 and where do I get it ?
I've installed streakdroid 1.9.0 and it's really nice but i'm getting random reboots, even through factory resets. I think stock/rooted/lightened is the way forward for me personally.
This page is full of great info and links to all the roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak#Official
OK, now I'm on 354 rooted, installed ADW launcher and much happier with it.
What method do people use to remove unwanted apps ?

root uninstaller.
( from my personal experience , i have not seen any benefit from removing system apps
I'm inclined to agree after some investigating. On other handsets certain system apps are sometimes loaded into memory even if not being used.
I installed system panel lite from the market to see what was running and only saw items I had started.
Tomorrow I will be battling with locking the default orientation to portrait!

i use titanium backup to uninstall apps.
Getting occasional internet drop outs. Data just stops even tho signal is good. (Doesn't happen on the same sim in my nexus). Would this be common and might a different baseband help?
Thanks again
I'm liking the 351 baseband more than I did the 354. My internet connection is more stable and I am able to switch between HSPA and WiFi in one click, whereas I wasn't able to with 318.
For unwanted apps, I use Root Explorer and go to the system apps and just delete it, it's worked better for me than Titanium.
But then I flashed StreakDroid 1.9 with the noapps in my install.txt and there really isn't anything left to get rid of if you flash that route, that's about as bare as it gets.
Although I do go and eliminate the stock browser and the stock gingerbread launcher and replace them with my preferences
Ok how do I go to a different modem firmware? Do i have to flash a whole Rom?

Nope, you just flash a different baseband through fastboot, like I mentioned before, I decided to go stick with the 351 and have been happy since.
Had a look round but couldn't find the amss file (or any others for that matter) for 351. Are they all stored somewhere I haven't come across?
I had a go at downgrading to the full 351 Rom too but ran into problems. It seemed not to want to restore a Rom with an older date than I was running. I think the amss file will do fine for now though. My net connection really is hit and miss! Almost like the cellular radio is going to sleep.
Thanks,

Ok bro, did the legwork for ya.... (hit that Thanks button) and here's Manii's page where you can find the basebands and most anything else
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/
Hi all,
I've had a search but can't seem to find the answer to this query:
I've seen a few posts now that say you need to do an update via a .pkg to put a new baseband on, rather than just pushing the amss via fastboot.
What I'd like to find out is what's missing if you just flash the baseband?
I went from O2 2.1 to various Streakdroids (1.4 to 1.5.3 to 1.7, 1.8.1 and now 1.9.1). I flashed baseband 318 at some point and recently flashed 354 to the 1.8.1 build before upgrading on Monday to 1.9.1
Im not happy with battery life currently and also feel the performance should be better, compared to other people's posted figures.
Also a lot of folk are claiming over double the battery life I'm seeing.
What do I gain, if anything, by installing say the official 2.2.2 or 2.2.3 update.pkg and then re-installing Streakdroid 1.9.1? Can anyone give me a few pointers?
cheers.....
Read the last few posts in gingerstreak thread where they have very good explanation on this debate.
Sent from the Dell Streak
thanks!
Ideally I'd like to discover a bit more about what there is and what does what but that certainly tells me i need to go do the .pkg update and re-install!
much appreciated
Yes I had a issue with just flashing the baseband. Market and any other app would not update or install on my phone. Once I did a update pkg then install 1.9.1 all is good now.
Sent from the Dell Streak
quick answer would be, is that an official update.pkg will flash all the images built specifically to be compatible with eachother, including some core code.
afaik, flashing baseband on its own shouldn't really make a huge impact on stability..
I use 318 BB just cause its the last official 00 regional update in australia.. I could use 351 BB, which is the last 00 BB, which I've tried, but 318 works best.
cheers!
Stability is very very good, in fact it doesn't hang or reboot at all (as long as the CPU is kept at 1152 or under)
I was really thinking about battery life (there are rumours of the batterystats from 2.2.2 showing longer life and mine is currently awful), signal strength, wifi, graphics performance (my quadrant score seems low at 1571) etc.
i'll probably give it a bash anyway - all good for experience!
I am having the same issue with my streak. Battery performance does not seem as good as others report on 1.9.1, and I am unable to overclock past 1152 without freeze/eventual reboot.
Phone originally had ATT 1.6 on it, then upgraded to OS2 2.1, then to various versions of StreakDroid and currently 1.9.1.
Today I tried using the 351 recovery.img and flashed the 351 update.pkg for the stock ROM. After successfully booting and using the stock rom for a bit, I did a factory reset then I flashed back to streakmod recovery and then re-loaded streakdroid 1.9.1. Then I did another factory reset.
This made no difference on the overclocking issue for me. Any ideas what I could/should i try next?
I think thats purely a hardware factor. The CPUs have varations in clock speed limit and it looks like yours is the same as mine
Gonna play with .pkg updates over the weekend and see what if anything happens to battery life. Maybe I just use it too much
Well I am having the imfamous rebooting problem with my streak 5.
I am running stock olleh 407 with root. I have tried other roms such as Steve's Gingerstreak rom, DSC, Longhorn, MIUI, and always seems to still have the issue with the phone rebooting for no reason, sometimes out of the blue when not even doing anything, most the time when running applications and 99% of the time with games.. I'd love to get this fixed.. simply because I bought it off of craigslist and love this phone, I cannot goto Dell and try to get help because they need to know where the phone was bought from originally which I have no way of finding the info, I wish I could just get a new warrenty(sp?) but they wont help me out..
any clues? even if I got to go back to froyo to make it stop this crap Im willing too..

Try changing your baseband. The baseband you're using is the beta baseband and that could be the source of your difficulties. I'm surprised however, as I figured 407 would have changed the baseband. Perhaps you're one of the lucky ones to not have the new baseband "stick".
I used to have this problem with resets and no matter what rom i put i got the same result, so by accident i figure it out it was from the back cover, i open up the streak and put something to the senzor so no matter what i do even if i take the cover off the streak is not turning off.
You should shake it and try to hit the back cover but not to hard to damage the streak and see if it is from the cover.
My guess is that the cover is doing that.
my streak restart when i watch youtube video.what can be the problem?Am running a stock rom 407 olleh.
I too use to get random reboots with streakdroid roms and some stock roms. When I installed MIUI 2.4.20 the random reboots stopped.
Im not 100% sure that it was the rom that fixed this but its too much of a coincidence that its the only rom i had no issues with whatsoever.
With every custom rom there is always a detailed guide on the best way to flash to get the best results.
Its absolutely crucial that you follow these guides. It makes a big difference.

and so far no reboots! thanks dude.. I hit the thank button for you also.
I follow the directions on the roms to the T but I guess things happen sometimes.
anyways thank you again
While it is certainly not common, it's also not unheard of for a baseband flash to not "take" and have to be reflashed.
I was having the same problem and installed a battery app that reported charge/temp etc. Everything was fine while used for approx 15 mins, but as the temp started to rise thats when rebooting happened. Tried new battery but made no diff, tried a number of roms to no avail.

Thats parts of your problem.
I find that stock roms are totally useless. Thats my opinion.
Yes there are custom roms out there that are still buggy but i find they are all much better that what is offered from stock.
I also find that it necessary to read the whole post before flashing any rom. There are always helpfull hints inside as to how to make your custom rom work without issues.
I sold my dell streak for a htc sensation, I put MIUI and reflashed the DPS1 msnn and it ran like a charm.

your sd card probably gone bad already.. and you may need to reformat it again using sd card adapter ...
however... you need to use streakmod recovery.... if you want to upgrade... i say try DSC 1.0 because all the required file is there at the dev forum...
