[Q] T-Mobile Prism phone...Can I root/upgrade or anything?? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wife has a T-Mobile Prism phone and I do not see any mention of it in the forum. I myself have the GS3 which rocks!
Am I missing something? I think the phone has the 2.3 gingerbread or honeycomb...I am not sure (she is not home so I cannot look at the phone right now) about the specs of the phone and operating system.
Anyway if anyone could point me in the right direction as to what I can do with this phone to make it faster for her would be apprecited. If I could root the phone I would like to set her up with tethering so she can use her laptop wherever she is. Also if the phone could handle ICS or a Jelly Bean ROM that would be awesome!
Thanks in advace for any help! This forum rocks! :laugh:

Check out this guide, it will tell you what you need to do to root the phone, install CWM, and then CM 7.2 (Its gingerbread based but a very solid ROM at that). This should speed up the performance of your wife's phone, and allow for wireless/wired tethering if she wants to use it Wireless Tether. As a side note the phone would be running gingerbread (2.3-2.3.7), honeycomb (3.0-3.2) was meant for tablets . Hope this helps .

Glad I could help man , if you want a guide that might be able to help convince your wife check out this guide. If she's more of the visual learning type of person the official CM 7.2 introduction video might be helpful as well as this video, which even though it's for the Samsung Epic 4g touch it does a good job of showcasing the features of CM 7.2 on a basic and easy to understand level.

You don't NEED a data plan , but TMO will make you get one ...
WinMo is not , well trying to say this without insulting you, as "Fisher Price" as the Iphone is, the interface is more powerful but not as intuitive.
The HD2 is a great phone, but it really is not a toy/media player , not like the commercials tend to make it sound, it is more robust and customizable , but requires more "digging in".
My first piece of advice to you if you get one, is to get rid of the stock TMO ROM and find a custom one that fits your needs, most are much faster than the stock ROM.
Hey man thanks intjinknthatnim going to do it would you mind helping memoir when I get it I would like to install android on it and I'm hoping I could get help I haven't messed around with android or winmobile in a while is it worth installing it

Android at this point just runs as an app on top of winmo, so will not hurt your phone and pretty easy , it either works or it doesn't usually ..
The current Android builds are fun to play with , but that is about it, nothing but testing right now, no stable ROM replacements yet, could be quite a while for that ..
Ok do I have to install Linux then the android wait what's the first step coming from a stock phoneno roms flashed

NO, Android at this point RUNS on WinMO as an app, linux is not fully working yet either, and also runs as an app on top of winMo ...
Sounds like you need to do some reading on the custom ROMs and , how to flash , poke around the site , there are very good tutorials on flashing your first ROM ..
The look through the ROMs thread, find one you like that is compatible with your phone, and follow the tutorial, I don't think I could help you any more than one of the good tutorials ...

Just wanted to point out that Android and linux DOES NOT run on top of winmo... When you run HaRET, it completely shuts down the windows ce kernel and loads the linux kernel. WinMo is no longer running in the background when you're running android.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7500R Questions

Hello everyone,
I just (literally 20 minutes ago) got my hands on a Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G from Rogers. I'm very interested in rooting this device to install CWM on it but none of the guides i've seen have instilled much confidence so i'm hesitant to use them. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I don't brick my tablet?
Thanks!
PS: Any useful info/links you can provide about this 7500R would be greately appreciated .
Rogers Galaxy Tab runs Honeycomb 3.2 so there's very little point in flashing it with any custom roms. (which are all based on the stock rom -no Cyanogen here yet-)
..You want to root it and flash something else, but you just have no idea of what you will be flashing, why you would do it, or how to do it, dont you?
Whats the point then?
If the root thread (the one with the video walkthrough) doesnt instill you enough confidence, just dont root it, dude. And try to grow some balls ;-)

Perhaps i should make myself a little more clear. I'm interested in flashing one of the custom roms that are currently out there (ie Kang's ICS ROM or a more stock/acting looking honeycomb rom). I'm well aware on how to use ODIN and get into download mode, i'm just concerned that since its a 7500R that'll throw a wrench into things and put the tab into an unrecoverable state. Thats really all.
I'm interested in this as well. I'm currently debating whether I should get the Rogers Tab 10.1 or just go with a WiFi.. I'd like my tablet to have 3G capabilities and a real GPS chip inside, but since it seems that a majority of the ROMs available are meant for the WiFi version only (because it seems most people have the WiFi-only version), I'm leaning towards WiFi just to have better ROM support. Or maybe having the 3G model is just as simple as getting the WiFi-only ROM and flashing in modem support? I'm not really sure.
If you figure out anything about the 7500R and any solutions about the challenges it faces, I'd be interested to hear about it!
As you might know, there's no 3G (nor LTE) support for Kang's roms at this point; so there's very little point in using this with a Rogers Tab right now;
And keep in mind that it looks like 3G versions are getting some form of favor treatment; they all have been upgraded to 3.2 while many other versions are still stuck on 3.1
Still, if you want to play ball, just remember it is a GT-P7500 3G RETAIL MODEL : not a 10.1v, not a 10.1 4G, nor a wifi or anything else! ...And everything should be fine.
-- The "R" in GT-7500R doesnt mean anything... maybe stands for Rogers.. We just dont see much Bell's; they dont give tabs with any 2 new activations.. 'nway.. who cares.

is it worth it to root and upgrade to ics?

I got a 10.1 wifi recently and am wondering if its worth it to root now and get ics installed (with the -of no camera) or to wait untill samsung gets its act together, and get the offical version.
You're asking in an Android Hacking forum, we're all rooted and I'd bet 80% are running ICS .
If you can live without the camera then definitely go for it, if you're comfortable. You could be waiting a while on Samsung, they tend to delay such things.
If do decide to root it, don't be afraid to ask questions here. Welcome to XDA.
I don't know if the question asked is appropriate or a trick question considering this forum is completely dedicated to the benefits of hacking to gain maximum benefit.

It's really not very hard to try it out for yourself and see if you like it. You can always flash back to stock if you need to.
I have CM9 ICS on my personal tablet, but am still using 3.2 on my G-Tab 10.1 because I need the camera for work. I am running the Overcome ROM on it though, which gives me a little more options/flexibility than stock samsung.
but as far as performance, there is little difference between 3.2 HC and ICS (at least at this point). There are some UI differences that I like, but they are minor changes from honeycomb, so don't expect a huge difference on ICS.
Easy answer: yes, it is. And it's very easy to install ics. Just do it and have fun.
Three more questions:
Is there any other bugs besides the camera not working?
And any links to upto date root and ics (i think i read 4.0.4?)?
Is it not possible to get the camera drivers (which from what I have read is the missing link) from the old stock version?
Fyi I have the Samsung 10.1 wifi gt-p7510
Thank you guys already I am not trolling btw i have never rooted/ flash a new operating system on android and kind of afraid of bricking my tablet.

QBKing77 has great video instructions on YouTube,check it out. Very easy. Make sure you do a backup b4 putting a rom on and make sure it's for your Tab. Only issue I have ever had is no camera, but I knew that going in and I use my S2 for pics anyway. We can't get the camera because Sammy will not release the needed info. You can brick your tablet that's a risk but there r ways to unbrick, like I said just make sure the root method and from is for your version of the Galaxy Tab.

Once rooted you wont look back and its so easy and quick to do. Much more freedom IMO, I started with ICS and its great, but went back to HC just because of the camera. Such a shame, I have htc dhd phone rooted on ics and camera works fine, just a samsung thing.
As said previously, give it a try
Question about rooting what dose it allow you to do?
Rooting allows you to gain access to the system files, lets just say its like your employee ID to get into your company
i rooted my g tab to ics once, i guess it was worth it, but i went back to honeycomb because of the camera.
It's not like camera on a tab plays a great feature, because taking pictures with the tab is like using a laptop to take a 5MP picture.
I'd say I never use the camera on my tab.......... Until I flashed ics then I just kept needing it think it's just a case of wanting what you don't have.. So I'm back to HC.
Is there any good roms out there with the camera working? Sorry for the noob question, Im a new tab owner.

I use the camera with visidon which lets me face lock certain apps, also lets me make video calls and google goggles to translate foreign signs so yeah camera is a must have for me and not necessarily for taking pictures

Sorry to bump this, but I'm curious to know if it's easy to replace the tablet for a decent price? That's really my only concern about rooting my tablet.
Of course it is, you are in the right place
i havent flashed the 10.1 to ICS purely because i use the camera for such things as skype or google hangouts.
so im using overcome rom, but i miss being able to group apps into a folder like ICS can do
ICS Or Not??? That is the Question!!!!
Over the last 6 months I have tried every ROM listed for the Galaxy Tab here on XDA, including ICS. I must say ICS offers better battery life, faster processing and better visuals, but I am like a few others and need the camera so I am sticking with Galaxy Task Rom. Out of all of them it is the most stable, and fastest giving me Quadrant Scores of just under 3100. Using ICS I was closer to 3600 and I thought at one point hit 3800, but I think that was a fluke, but then I had no camera, so back to 3.2. For me I have compiled the best apps I could to make my tablet a screamer.....If you have any others please let me know.
Galaxy Task
OC 1.4 Pershoot Kernel (is there a 1.5 or 1.6)
Swapper File @ 500mb (app)
SD Speed Boost set at 4000 (app)
Volume + set on Beats Emulation with +10 speaker increase (app)
Poweramp for a 10 band equalizer for great sound (app)
Now using the same apps with ICS made it ultra fast. But I wish the camera worked.
Definately appreciate everyone on here with their input.....my knowledge is only as good as flashing and recovery, but am trying to learn more as I move forward. Love the Galaxy Tab, it is my 10th tablet I have owned and my favorite. Now I have to figure out how to flash my Atrix 2 phone........love this site!!!!
Quick ques about ICS Roms [from what I've seen in Cm9/Muiu]
1. can you change screen mode [dynamic/movie/normal]
2. change font styles?
I don't remember seeing these options, but it was about a month ago when I flashed these Roms?

[Request] Roms for Samsung Illusion/Proclaim

I have searched high and low about information regarding any custom roms for the Samsung Illusion (verizon) and Galaxy Proclaim (Straight Talk) for a while now. I know there is a root for it finally, but can anybody more knowledgable than myself help a) get the stock base image for the device as this would be a great starting place for basic tweaks, and b) develop a CM7 or perhaps CM9 based rom for this device? I know its not a high end phone by any means but it is a very capable phone for the price and fact that it runs on Straight talks no contract Verizon network. I don't know how to develop a rom at all but I am having rom flashing withdrawals after getting rid of my old Optimus V which had many customs ROMS including CM9/ICS. If any developer could help out with this I know many people including myself would be very grateful
we already have a stock base for the proclaim and are working on a new Rom for it, http:/androidarea51.com

I got in contact with somebody that does custom roms for phones and this is what he said: "I might to if I get more requests..."
If you would like a custom rom for The Samsung Galaxy Proclaim (Straight Talk) as I am pertaining to ICS 4.0 (Google Android OS), then request it through this website: http://www.roms-db.com/contact/
He will only take requests through this form of contact/request form!
I hope that this helped everyone in this forum and those like me that are helpless with this phone on XDA Developers!!

I've very interested in some roms for this phone as well. It is my first android phone, I've already got it rooted but I would love to have ICS or CM9 on it. I think it would improve my battery life substantially.
Curious to know how development has come with this phone? I'll be picking one up on the 23rd and I bought one already for my husband yesterday. We are in the process of switching from Verizon to StraightTalk. (Gotta save money anywhere we can in this crappy economy)
All I know is that it is not the best phone that I had from Straight Talk, but it is the only smartphone through Verizon :thumbdown:

This isn't the only Verizon smartphone that Straight Talk has. In my local walmart they also carry an LG with a slide out keyboard, 3.2" touch screen and 800mhz processor. I purchased one and it seems to get better battery life than the proclaim. I got the proclaim one week and the LG wasn't there, but when I returned it was on the shelf next to it. I haven't been able to find it on their website yet though.

Yes slide out keyboard, with a touch screen, and its running android version 2.3.x i think. Its just lower than the version that the Proclaim is running which is 2.3.6

don't buy the zip over the proclaim!!! The ZIP has half the memory and you can only install a few apps before having run out of space (I have the Proclaim while my sister-in-law bought the ZIP). She wishes she would have gone with the Proclaim.
I'm also interested in custom ROMs for the Proclaim but don't see it happening...I still haven't rooted as some people are saying they have issues with wifi hotspot after rooting.
I can use FoxFi now without rooting for wifi hotspot.
updates?
Any updates on ANY roms for sch s720c? Somebody help! Lol
Root First?
While we're all waiting patiently for some roms... has anyone found a root method that DOES NOT disable the functionality of USB drive?
From what I've read, the root methods so far work, with the exception that afterwards, when you plug in your phone, it shows up as a CDROM drive.

YP-G70 US Stock Rooted Rom dump

This was originally an opinion post that turned in to more.. I am leaving the thread intact and the stock rooted rom dump can be found in post #20
Original text:
I picked up a couple of the 5" refurb players for my kids (ages 6&7) for christmas (both are YP-G70CW). I am actually quite impressed with this device, but thats not why i am here.
I plan on rooting them so i can do a hidden install of Cerebrus just in case they lose them or they get stolen. Anyway, since these will be going to my kids, i dont want to heavily mod them, i want them to be reliable.
This is where the opinions come in, do i leave the stock rom on there or is there another reliable rom that would be super kid friendly that has no problems?

Thanks.. i will just keep them stock rooted then
i dont think that any anti theft is that helpful due to the lack of mobile data.
unless a thief is dumb enough to connect to their own wifi, there is no way for the galaxy player to report its location
I fully agree with the above comments.
I have a 5.0 for more than one year and now a Nexus 7. if I take at side the device speed (for heavy games) The 5.0 is in my view the best staple in today market. Especially in term of portabilty!
good choice

You can flash a cerebrus zip to the system and hide it from the app drawer. This also keeps it from being removed from a factory reset. If someone stole, or "found it" then they would have to be at least smart enough to flash different firmware, or manually remove it. I would rather have little protection than none at all. And if it fails me then i am only out the $140 per device that i spent.

I have N7, N4, HTC Vivid, an older LG Optimus, a few chinese android knock offs, etc... my kids love playing with my N7 but i wanted to get them something a little more portable that they could easily take back to their mom's house. I came across these refurbed players and knew immediately that it would be perfect for them.
Just like any big kid with a new toy, i couldn't wait to get them and try them out (well, i have to test them, they are refurbs)... And i have to say that i actually really like this device. I kinda want one for myself.
I use chip rom and everything works(its based on GB ) ..i use mine on 1.5 ghz with undervolted FQ and i tell you (at least on chip rom) most apps works faster then on nexus 7..i put side by side nexus 7 and GP5 and press buttons on same time ..in 90% SG5 would open faster or finish faster.

So i still didn't get this... I plugged the one in to my machine with windows booted up and Kies told me there was an update. So i figured i would grab the update and dump that, then also dump my other one without the update and give you guys both.......
Well this turned out to not be an easy process. Kies did something and F'd up the drivers. I spent a good hour (uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, hard reset phone, etc) with it trying to make it see the phone again to no avail. So this morning i booted linux and tried to get a dump and ran out of time. I am off work tomorrow so i should have more time.

I would recommended giving up Kies all together because it's more problematic then it's worth. You could install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11633550 (this) and it'll fix your issue. Sorry for the issues.

yep, i saw that earlier.. i will give it a shot. No worries about the issues, I have been so far up HTC the last few years i need some different exposure.
The one is in the process of uploading now.. I still have to update it yet and get the dump of that one also. But i am going to bed, i have a sick kid to deal with now (guess i had the flu and not food poisoning, lol). I will update with a download link after i get up. Which should be in a less than 5 hours.

*since this was my first attempt, if you have a way to test it, then please do as i dont want to mess up your device. But i followed the instructions and encountered no errors to achieve an Odin flashable TAR file, it was just over 300MB, It zipped down to 183. SO file size to me seems to be normal.
Many many thanks to hanthesolo for pointing me in the right direction!
