Let me start off by saying I am a true noob.. I would love to learn how to flash Phones to a new carrier.. what is the best program to use? and is there a forum to explain the flashing in detail. I am working with the kyocera echo. which I know is a tough phone to mod.. from reading here in xda.. is there anyone who can put me in the right direction atleast where to start..
What carrier are you trying to flash it to?
Please hit the thank you button if i helped!
i want to switch virgin mobile or page plus. Im having trouble finding the software needed. Are there any free ones? CW looks like a user friendly software, I dont trust giving my info to the website CMDA-Ware.com. I also heard you can Flash prls for free through the demo. I also dont know where to find the PRLS. I was hoping it was possible to get a step by step explanation on how to do it. -- thanks
What phone?
Please hit the thank you button if i helped!

hi there, sure we can help you, 1st use the search button, and you will be able to find what you look!
good luck then!
ok I have reflashed my wizard 4 times tonight. I have tried the newest TNT rom, Hornet 5 and Touch HD. On flashing TNT and Hornet, it says that the updater is not new enough and leaves my wizard in the 3color bar state. I also have been unable to connect to my home wifi network through my wizard, through either the love rom, or the touch hd. anyone have suggestions?

ok i appreciate the time you took to post but i did say that i have read a lot of threads and posts and not many of them make sense to me, i am a n00b at flashing these devices and i don't mind admitting it, all i asked for was some help not a derogatory remark.

but you have to read HOW TO UNLOCK, HOW TO FLASH and thats it, once you read you wll be able to unlock/flash
be sure to know if you have a G3 or G4 device, always have a fully charged battery to unlock, flash etc.
Better to use a xp based PC, use the lastest activesync, have a USB cable in good conditions, never ever touch the screen/cable in the unlock/flash, do not run another programs while unlock/flash.
Ok those are just some advices, all you migth need is in the forum..
GOOD LUCK!
Iinstalled a rom well thats what i think ..and my phone i know its unlocked because my brother has put them before everything works fine. It installed but when it get to where he has to turn on ..it just stays saying Samsung and thats it. It will stay there...please help i need my phone
Sounds like you need to odin back to stock. Search the forums for info. Threre are plenty of threads on odin.

Use Odin to get back to stock and post questions in q&a
Runninero
Odin back to JFD, re-root and your good to go for installing new ROMs
How do i use that please help me i cant use my phone i need it how do i get to make it work abd how does that programs works
Your going to need to do some reading, look for an odin guide in the tread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111
Like everyone says, the "SEARCH" feature is your friend. Start with looking up Odin and read up on it. From reading your comments, I'm sure it won't be the last time you will need it

Do a search for Odin or go into the Vibrant Bible and look in the first group of links. It's in there. Just follow the instructions. If you took the chance of flashing a ROM, you need to be able to do the research in order to fix problems that can arise. All the info you need is right at your fingertips, use it and happy flashing.
These type of posts just blow me away. 3 people were nice enough to provide information as to how fix your phone. Yet you ignore the offer for help. Tell you what. Send me your phone and I will fix it for you. In return, I will just keep it so you don't have the chance to brick it again and have to beg for help when the answers have been posted in the hundreds of other.....URGENT...HELP ME NOW I THINK I BRICKED MY PHONE threads and have also been posted in countless other places on the forum. Please, read the forums before you flash. I am all about helping, but when you blatantly ignore help that is offered, I feel little to no sympathy at all.
Oh man. LOL
I remember the first time I flashed a ROM. I read everything I could about it for 3 days first.
If people skip that important step, they kinda get what they deserve.
Lazy people suck!!!
Hint. The very first thread in this very forum has everything you need! READ READ READ READ
PS. READ
Thread moved to Q&A.

Im no pro. But I would say the first thing you should do is go to the development section and read the vibrant bible. You don't want to be on here in a day or two saying omg I bricked my phone what do I do. Just read through the sections and it has the answers.

This is my favorite noob guide so far. Link
Make sure you follow the steps on backing up everything. You can never be too careful. These phones are really hard to brick, but you can easily loose a lot of data if you haven't backed up the phone.
Just go to the bible in the stickys, it has all the info, read everything twice if u have to

I am brand new so I apologize for just jumping in here. My problem is I have tried many root methods and have yet to get root or close to it.
Thunderbolt
My firmware is 1.03.0000
radio is 1.15.00.0128w3
any help would be much appreciated!!
If you use the method in jcase's thread, you simply copy+paste commands into the adb window
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Sounds like you used the 3 click method. If that's how you want to do it I think you need to start at step 2.
You should do it through adb though since it sounds like you're a rooting rookie. It'll help in the long run.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
JCase's method is a sticky in the development section btw.

Many thanks!
Thank you guys who posted! And a big thanks to those who developed all the materials for the root process.
I had apparently not done something right the first few times !! " CHECK MD5 SUMS!! for those of you who overlooked this every step it is important!! I now have root and as soon as I am set up proper on here I will be donating! Everyone should! These guys work hard to make it easier on the rest of us. Again many thanks!

I don't know about anyone else, but I stopped reading after this part. I didn't even get to the problem. Remember, you messed up your phone. You need others to assist you. Complaining that other people aren't helping you fix your mistake fast enough isn't going to encourage many people to want to try harder to help you.
Edit: I peaked at teh rest of your post. I think it's a fairly simple fix. But I'm not going to respond to your demanding post that is so overtly negative about this community that has helped so many.
If you reask the question nicely I'll be more than happy to try and assist you.

Well I didn't read your post as thoroughly as I should have before saying I thought I had the correct answer.
I missed where you said you were using an LG Doubleplay. This forum is for the HTC Sensation. These are VERY different devices. What would work for the Sensation may not work for an LG device. I don't want to give you bad information.
You are much better off asking your question in the Doubleplay forums where users familiar with the device will be able to assist you.
there isnt a forum for the double play thanks anyways
wait. i downloaded this file called c279.dll thats 89 mb. can i use this with odin to re flash the phone?
You are flashing the wrong ROM...find one for sensation

Firstly if you try to flash a wrong rom...you risk bricking...specially without backup.. find sensation roms by googling htcsensationroms
The rom you have mentioned is NOT a sensation rom
Dont open the rom you downloaded, connect the phone to ur pc and copy the rom to sd card
Also you need to speciify if you are S-On or S-Off.....
Provide more info abt ur situation (android version, recovery, S-On/Off) ...ill try to help
AND there are some really good devs on these fora...professionals(ask Skipjacks nicely, you should have your problem solved)....but you are going to have to ask NICELY....I'm preety much a noob but can handle rooting a etc
OK...just refreshed this thread...guess youre in the wrong place...look for LG forums...best of luck
sorry, im using the lg double play v 2,3,4 and im hopeless right now.
can anyone help?
No. You are asking this in the wrong place. You are going to get bad advice here that will likely break your phone even worse. Find an lg forum.
And do not use odin to update an lg phone!
