wat meen yu guys?

You guys never worked for T-Mobile so you do not know how the system works. Whenever you use a phone, the IMEI registers onto the system BUT the last digit is always incorrect. So when they gave him the IMEI, the last digit is 0 but it is supposed to be 5. The system never has the correct last digit. It's been like that for years.

I work for TMO, knew that
Who I dont work for is the translator of incoherency, i literally had no clue what he was asking

I had to reread it 3 times to make sure I understood what he said lol

WTF Translator:
My phone was stolen*, so I called T-Mobile to get a replacement, and they asked me for my IMEI, but the thing is that when I told them the IMEI, they said that every IMEI ends with an zero, but my phone ends with a 5! What can I do?
* The thing where he was talking about damage was untranslatable, so I skipped it and tried to make the best sense of it.
Now since this is translated, I feel that you guys can help him more.

So at 11:15 P.M. 5/31/2011 were you on the phone with vzw to see if you were going through an outage before you went on a flashing spree?
good day.
OH Hai!!!! how's the 2.3.4 update goin for ya?

Nope, must be the ROM's fault. Those darned devs getting in there and messing with verizon's 3G service.
And he reappears!!! OMG!!!! I thought you died or were abducted by aliens or something. There had to be some reason why you never responded to any of us. Just glad to hear that you're ok.

Look man, no offense intended on my behalf. Sorry. But, what did you expect to happen? You post something telling us that we're gonna get GB without clearly reading the article in the link, in which I might add you didn't even give us the link, and then you don't respond AT ALL. The whole forum is gonna flame you. That's troll material. You have to be thorough and responsible when posting things of that nature.

Because you didn't post the link and you didn't respond, regardless of the reason why. Don't worry about it man. It's water under the bridge. "In much wisdom is much grief." In other words, this whole incident made you a little wiser on how to post by all the sh** you got for it.
Back to the topic at hand, as far as 3G issues go... I recently had a problem with my 3g going in and out for no reason when my gf's had no issues what so ever. Called VZW and confirmed "no issues" in my area (chicago btw) and proceeded on over here to find a solution and this worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051543
I also googled "verizonwireless.com esn swap" and got a step by step on how to do it yourself without having to call a tech, and did it all on the VZW site with activating a new device and reactivating mine, and i've been golden ever since.
Hope this helps, good luck.

(FIX)fix error 16 without calling sprint!!!

as you may know me from all those sprint questions(sorry about those), i will now give you a tut that saved me from error 16...
step one: go to sprint.com/chat and get on chat with a pro
step two: they ask you some info-its funny i kept saying i do not know for any info they asked and then they asked for billing name and gave them that-then they will say turn off phone and take out battery if they dont just say "should turn off phone and pull battery"
step three: they say make a test call to some number and should say your services are activated.
note: if they helped i would fill out survey as i did.
step four: enjoy your rooted and s-offed 3vo

4g after unlocking bootloader (Wrong Section and No concrete answer)

My goal was not to make anyone mad or to proclaim I had a fix. I simply wanted an answer to my question. I am sorry to those I obviously offended by asking such a question. Though I could have asked Yay before I posted I honestly didnt think this thread was going to go where it did. I dont know what happened to cause my phone to shw 4g coverage (or lack there of according to yay) but I wanted to get someone elses impression of my account and see if had been something I done. Like I said many times now my apologies. I dont come on here to troll or misguide anyone. I am a firm believer in helping out when I can which is what my initial comment was trying to do, but I was just simply called a liar (though I can understand skeptisism) I dont want to waste anymore time defending my character. If YAY or any other dev wants to talk you have my contact information. I will be trying the dsixda kitchen to see if we can build a rom with that kitchen since the atrix can, hopefully I can redeem myself so to speak...lol.. have a blessed day people.

So I'm in the process of unlocking ... already flashed pudding but haven't done the oem unlock and my 4g works. Maybe the pre rooted system image is what's breaking the 4g.

LOL OK... I honestly don't know what else I did differently from you guys but I still have 4g... and when I take my daughter to the baby sitter I will take a snap shot.
I can tell you that the same thing happened on the evo when the kingdom roms kernel first came out. If you left 4g or wifi on while updating it would say error when you booted back up. Maybe this is the reason as well..
Just a assumption!

I knew that I wasn't unlocked. This is my second photon. The other was unlocked. I was thinking the source of the 4g problem was flashing the modified bootloader. Could it possibly be in Rom Racer's Recovery that is breaking the wimax keys? Has to be that or the oem unlock. Any ideas?
This was already one of the original ideas and I believe it was found out not to be it. There is a lot to be learned on the unlock bootloader thread.
For those asking for a video I will not be posting one as I don't have the luxury to take time to make a video to prove my phone has 4g. I simply stated what I did while unlocking and asked if others did the same. I don't need any credibility given from anyone as I have been helping people for quite some time now on here.
The reality of it is I have 4g after unlocking my device but I don't know how. It was a simple question to see if anyone else experienced it ..... if not then we know that, that was not the reasoning behind it! But I will post screen shots when I get back to a area with 4g...

Well i dont see the point in your post other than trolling the video is so we can verify that you are indeed in unlock status and have 4g. You could have unlocked your phone flashed rom nandroided relocked and recovered from bootstrap and think you still have 4g and unlock status but that wouldnt be the case. Its just to cover all bases, if you want to help others than that would be the first step then you could get with yay and figure it out.

Agreed, the fact that you just want to"kinda" help everyone out is bothersome, in that making a video is in fact the only way it can be proven. Creditable or not, it really is the only way. Screenshots do nothing. You don't need a 1080p hd video explaining all the ends and outs. Just a quick 40 second jobber showing us unlock status and 4gees.

You aren't understanding anything, that's your first problem. It isn't him you are proving something too, its everyone on that forums, every single person here is wanting what you supposedly have. Being a prick about it only shows that you really don't have what you say you do, because anyone that did would be going crazy right now trying to find a camera that records, which almost all do nowadays. You are the one being selfish here. If you truly wanted to help the community, you would be doing anything you could.

GT-I9100 or SGH-I777

So I bought my phone striaght out the AT&T store and I have heard repeatedly that the AT&T version of the Galaxy S II is the SGH-777 but when I boot my phone it always says GT-I9100....is there a difference? And if so does that mean I should be using a different forum to get my ROMs? Thanks for answering my question in advance and for any help provided.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I9100 is the international version of the SGSII. If you bought it new in the U.S. it should be an i777. If it has been flashed it could have an i9100 ROM on it, but if you got it from an AT$T store I doubt that's the case.

Was your phone sealed in the box or refurbished?
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
Sounds like he somehow got a device from the store that had a custom kernel flashed on it... Same question, is there a big yellow triangle?
Was this a refurb?
Yep, sounds like someone messed with this phone before! I'd take it back and exchange it!
I dont believe stores can sell refurbished phones, only online can sell them. Either someone in AT&T was messing around with a phone and flashed a custom rom on it, or somehow an international version got slipped in... but the box would have to be a blue/white/orange box with AT&T on it.
Weird.

Before rooting my phone for the 1st time, I read the entire FAQ and knew that if I used methods that tripped the flash counter I would get the caution mark boot screen.
Your first post makes it seem like your phone came rooted from the store, when that wasn't the case.

Verizon is selling your browsing history to marketers

I read somewhere that verizon is selling our browsing history. So I decided to call them up and ask to opt out. They are actually doing this. Seriously. I cussed him out until he hung up on me. I am no where close to being done. I would call up and complain about this. This is an invasion of privacy.
Uh oh, they're going to find out about jayochs' you-know-what videos
Seriously!! I'm wondering now if att and other providers across the globe are doing the same thing..

Please post the source of the information!
Listen to me, I called them and opted out. Ok, the source is me. The tech knew exactly what I was talking about. He even told me that if I didnt like it. I needed to push politicians to make this illegal.
Damn, will they find out my RedTube account info?

Ok, so I hung up on the first guy so I decided to call back to make sure that I was opted out. This time the lady said they dont do that and the guy is apparently going to get reprimanded. I dont know what to believe.
I don't think they could do this without a change in their privacy policy... I haven't received any notification of a change in the policy for years that I remember, however sometimes I just chuck that stuff in file 13 if I see it. If such a change came out, it would cause a huge stir in the online community, and I haven't seen any such thing.

Does Verizon use software installed on handsets to collect this information, or do they collect it externally by inspecting the traffic going across their network?
If they are installing software on our phones... well thats bad and shouldn't be allowed to happen.
If they are using equipment on their own network to inspect traffic... well, we can't do anything about that other than switch to a different service provider. It's their network afterall..
This is like CarrierIQ. That junk was everywhere and as soon as consumers found out, Verizon and a bunch of other networks got hit hard.
I don't think they would make that mistake again (I am giving them a lot of credit here).
It just makes me mad whenever they think that they can just go on our phones. Internet history is private property, and they shouldn't be snooping in it.

Verizon was actually the only carrier that didn't use CarrierIQ (that doesn't mean they don't use a similar software though)

You are getting there.
I am sure they have some God-forbidden program running in the background of every stock ROM.

Np. I saw someone tweet @ vzw about it. Saying like "if you care so much about our privacy, why make all our stuff shared"
