So I was given an Lg Vortex from Verizon as a form of payment for doing some rooting and what not on my buddies phone and I do not have Verizon and would like to maybe user it as a backup phone for sprint. So I'm wondering if there is an easy free way to carrier unlock it or whatever. I am sure I can use cdma workshop but if I root it is there an easier way? If anybody knows anything about this please do let me know.

Bump! Anybody know anything about this? I have it rooted now. Oh and I do believe it's basically Verizons branded version of the optimus one.

Sooooo I guess can't flash it to sprint without them knowing, from what I've read. However it should be possible to flash it to cricket. That way I can give it to my mom. Does anybody know How to do this easily? I can't find much about it.

Does the GSM radio help when roaming in the US? Was thinking of getting this phone for my wife since Sprint reception is horrible were she works. Also how is the battery life?
Was hoping for a non root answer as she will not want me to root it. She, for some reason, doesn't enjoy when things don't always work.

GSM will not help in u.s. however it has the best reception of any sprint phone I've used. Battery will last all day.

Hello. A friend of mine is wanting me to root his bluegrass cellular Droid x2 and install cm7. I had someone tell me that I need to make sure that it is not for Verizon because it can disable 3g? I'm not sure if this is true but I want to ask. I've only installed roms on GSM devices. Thanks in advance for help =]

Do I detect a duh moment??? In j rummys root tools you can "switch" service providers until reboot... dnt know if that's helpful or not ..

Sounds like it may be a Milestone X2. Post your phone info lines and include the kernel ver.

I have a droid x2 with a flashed liberty3 rom and for some reason i don't get any 3G service in the whole state of kentucky...i know they are on bluegrass cellular their...anybody know a fix for this...??
My wife has a Atrix 4g that i have to send back to att. She is not into flashing roms, etc but i am so i know what I'm doing just not with this phone. I'm wanting to root it, tbu all her apps and then unroot it to send it back. Is their such a tool for this phone? I've searched the threads and did not find anything. I do not want to have to flash sbf files. I have a one click root and unroot tool for my Atrix 2 but I'm sceptical of using it on her phone. She is on the 2.3.6 update- 4.5.141. If someone could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.

Bump.

There is a file that enables one click root/unlock.
But to get back to full stock and locked you would have to use the sbf's.
Ya i seen that. I don't think I'm going to find what i am looking for. Iv read about this phone all morning and the phone itself is a hell of a lot different than my A2. She doesn't care for a rooted phone so I'm just going make her reinstall all her apps and data herself. Thanks for the help though.

What would my phone be worth? I took the official ics firmware zip and had no cell signal after. Even took it to a guy I know and he couldn't fix it. Everything works even wifi just gets no cell signal at all. Got no answer about what it was in multiple forums but ppl did try to help me out . What would it be worth? Anybody want an evo 3d tablet? Lol

did you try running a ruu???
That's very true. Try running an ruu and see if that fixes it.

Lol tried everything. Even took it to someone. Noone knows a price?
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
Usually running a ruu fixes everything.. maybe ur cdma radio burned out... Jus sayin ill give you like 20 bucks for it though

That could be a problem for Devs.
However, I'm 90% sure you can fix it.
It says you flashed it to Cricket?
Why not try flashing it back to Sprint?
Lol an RUU would flash back to sprint. Believe me..I've flashed phones..and i took it to someone who has an actual HTC dev account. Nothing worked. Like the other Guy said. I think my radio burned out. Unless its something like if you flashed a GSM firmware to a cdma phone. That's the only thing that might compare

I just wanted to know if anyone has done it. I don't really need help. I just want to know if it will work. I can do the flashing myself. Thanks!

Talk about a network downgrade.....
Well, flash the latest global RUU and stick the sim in and it should work.
Virgin mobile doesn't use a SIM. you gotta change the ESN , PRL, ETC. I just want to know if anyone has tried and succeded
