Hi everyone, I recently got my SII back from repair running 4.0.4 stock, I rooted and flashed Resurrection Remix v3.1.2 (4.1.2) last night and want to reset my binary counter to 0 and remove the yellow triangle.
I have realised however that the last time I used my USB jig I was running Gingerbread and now that I am on Jelly Bean it won't work anymore!
So my question is this, can I just create a nandroid of my current ROM, flash a GB ROM using CWM and then restore from my nandroid backup (wiping fully inbetween flashing of course)? Will this work or is there a better method?
Thanks in advance!
Triangle Away ?
Edit - Although...Why are you worried about the flash counter if you're running/obviously intend to keep running a non-stock rom ? If the phone craps itself with that rom on it, you're basically throwing dice as to whether they'll fix it or not given you weren't able to go back stock before the phone died. In that situation, won't matter what the counter is at.
Worry about the counter if you end up with a problem that needs fixing but doesn't completely disable the phone & where you'll still be able to go back to ICS stock/reset the counter.

It's really just incase something out of the norm happens, it's not that much trouble to go through to have a triangle free phone and one with a binary counter set at 0. I'd basically like to do whatever I need to do to prevent them from knowing I'm running custom.
For example my phone completely died hence the repair and I'm not sure whether the binary counter played any role (I doubt it did) but it was good to know that it was set to 0 either way.
E. g. What about if I can't restore stock and need to do it through CWM or something then my flash counter has already been reset.
i think you can flash GB bootloader. put in download mode. use your USB jig. then reflash a ICS bootloader and use triangle away on your current rom

I realize this is old but hope an email will go out or something. I have to return my phone. I updated to jelly bean through the samsung site which took away the root accesss. I know have no triangle but I do have a 1 on the binary counter. The Jig won't work. I don't want to root again to use triangle away as I don't know how to get back to stock. I rooted my sons phone after upgrading to Jelly Bean. It is a bad port. One has nothing to do with the other but we all know that won't matter. I'll post tonight in the general forums and hope for an answer.
You have no other option on JB. You need to re-root, Triangle Away, unroot (Get a stock rom from Samfirmware, flash it with Odin). Or go back to GB (again, get a GB rom from Samfirmware & flash with Odin) & use a jig.
You have got to be kidding me
This post was last answered in 2011. I am not sure how the forums work yet. I am trying to follow the rules. I realize the need to keep information from being cluttered up. I thought getting a new thread out, since this one is years old with hardly any participation anyway, couldn't hurt. If the new post I made on the old thread is going to be seen, as easily as the new thread would of been, could you explain how? Help a new person out. Talking to me like I am four years old and telling on me is a little overboard. I am curious if the Mods knew the first question was on a two year old thread. Maybe me posting a reply brings it back to the top. I don't know. I hope tp keep getting this stuff down and be in the place to help others. I know I wouldn't worry if someone asked a question on a two year old thread, that will remain up either way, and then tried to create a thread. Heck outside of someone being blatantly rude I don't see why it matters to me. Yes keeping the forums clean is important, Do you feel better know that the Mods pulled my question? Feel like you are part of XDA developers? Step outside the house and get some fresh air. It would do you a lot of good. Perhaps the way I titled the thread I may have got an answer. Now I am on a thread that the question was not answered. I have already found your answer to be wrong. It involves writing in the terminal emulator which I am not comfortable with but it kind of makes a point. People and their power trips amaze me.I guess you may tell again.
We have rules for a reason. Mods did the right thing. The end.
My answer is correct for the I9100/I9100T. You did not specify in your above post that you had some obscure ****box variant that you did specify in your thread which was correctly closed by a moderator (Your mistake again, forum rules specify you should give as much information as possible when asking for help, including phone model).
Best of luck getting your phone sorted (Yes, I'm being sarcastic, and yes, you're on ignore).
Really funny part
is I could get the question up 100 different ways. I won't. I have many other issues with this I can tie into the question and ask again without it being a repeat. Could ask a friend to ask. I know the Mods can ban me for that type of stuff. Keep me out at least from this ISP address. I have no desire for that to happen. I just am totally amazed you took part of your day to talk to me like I am 4 and tell on me. A simple explanation would have been nice. When you ask your question on a two year old thread the chances of it being seen are exactly the same as if I post a new thread, How that could be possible I don't know since the titles were different. If my posting on an old thread bumps it up to the top I will look for that. In the grand scheme of things what did you accomplish or help? You are the same type of person that lost my good friend a contest he deserved to win., He was running away with a slogan on a GIJOE site. He asked me to vote. I asked my 3 family members to vote, Someone saw the 4 votes came from the same ISP and banned him. No where did it say two people in the same house couldn't vote. It didn't matter. A senior memeber pointed it out to the mods. O no you don't....I wish sometimes that people had to say what they say on here in real life. Be blessed brother and be vigilant in making sure no one makes a MISTAKE. I sure would like to hear how this question has the same chance as my own thread to be answered.
---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------
the method will work on the model you point out according to the thread. I don't know. having my thread up may have helped clear it up.. Another reason for me starting my own thread was to clearly state it as it pertained to me. I am sure the Mods spent all of three seconds looking at it, and under the general rule of not doubling up, deleted my thread. Yes their job. If I manage to ask other questions, which I do have, and list this as one of my problems will you tell then also? I'm glad you feel so empowered by this. A real sense of accomplishment. Unbelievable.You make a good point. I didn't in fact double up because I put a lot more information. I thought that person may have solved it and could help. I then decided to word it to the best of my ability and start a thread. Thanks! Hope it made you very happy. Be blessed man. Keep on the lookout to help the Mods do their job. I mean it eing my first thread started I really clog things up around here. Amazing,
mods
So I get to answered by you because it notifies you and can't get the question out there. Makes sense. I'll take he time later to get with a mod and get Itcstraightned out. How do I know thie is your one way to feel better about yourself. I have found other optione but accordint to you I have to only hear your opinion. I can now go aek about those optionw and it wont be doubling up. Thankfully not everyone ie orbyou r mind. There arebdosenw or threads, some by the same person, that give different info rmation. I never said the phone was obscure. Several carriers use this version. Are you like the post police? I'll put together a post with all the options I have found and ask who has had luck with what. Is that something you will tell on me for?

I have had about 20 people on here help or try to help. You are the only one who caused a problem. I unsubscribed from your obscure thread so I could ask the question. I have never been to a forum with more people willing to help,. Thanks to them I have to three samsung galaxy s2 SCH-R760's rooted and running jelly bean. Thanks to them the binary counter, the one you said couldn't be done, is back at zero. So go tell I called you a clown, it is only a Bryce Harper reference, and have fun.

Flash this ClockWorkMod recovery to your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
That should take care of your issue of not having a recovery , and will give you a way to return back to your current stock rom if you screw things up.
Also download LBE privacy guard from the market, at least then if you get malware you will see it trying to do shady **** like send out SMS or make phone calls.
ROM toolbox from the market will let you flash ROMS, once you have CWM installed of course and unlock the bootloader. Make a backup first!.

1. Haven't had that issue at all since I've rooted/unlocked bootloader.
2. Possible, but only if you don't pay attention and follow instructions or bad luck.
3. You can return to stock via a ROM but it will never be stock as in how you received the phone, once you unlock your bootloader, it stays unlocked.
4. You can change ROMs as much as you want.
5. Malware/viruses, download lookout mobile (free version) and you're all set.
6. Hardware, take care of your phone and you'll be fine.
7. Titanium Backup from the android market to back up apps/system data, CWM which is used for installing roms can do FULL backups of EVERYTHING.
8. Check out the Atrix 4G Development Section.
9. Banana's
10. Highest OC atm is 1.3GHz and it's very stable
11. Not as scary as you think.
For the majority of info that you need, just read up on this thread.

Do you want to flash roms and kernels then yes. If you like the stock rom and battery is giving you good life stay. Unlocking it is easy if you follow the.pudding. just read over it then start doing it, as you do each step, read ahead, do next. Wash, rinse repeat. If you run into problem come back here before you make your next move.

you should flash cyanogenmod beta #3 if you can do without camera. but you can get around that with camera apps. or so i read.
Warning!!! Assuming you can find QPST and get it running, don't play around unless you know what you are doing. It is extremely likely you will brick your phone.
In the midst of my poking around I discovered you can enable the phone's diag mode with:
In rom:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_diag/on
In recovery:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag/enable
I haven't been able to find any driver downloads that work with it, but I did get Window 7 64 bit working:
In fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm
1. Open Windows device manager
2. Double click on HTC DIAG (or HTC 9k DIAG for LTE, I haven't tried that one yet though)
3. Update Driver
4. Browse My computer for software
5. Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
6. Ports (COM and LPT)
7. HTC Corporation
8. HTC Diagnostic Interface
So far I have only done this from inside my booted rom. I still need to test from recovery.
This is a screen shot of some of what is available in QPST EFS explorer:

"If you are posting something that others may use regarding development such as a new ROM, kernel, guide, mod, recovery, or tool, it will be posted there. "
All of my threads have directly pertained to this statement. The android development folder is where this info has generally been posted for other phones, so it seemed reasonable to do so for the Rezound as well.
If mods want to move it I don't care. I was just posting in the place that most closely fit the rules.

I would assume so, although I don't know the code. The benefit of this method is that it is easily scriptable, and you can use it from recovery (although the path is slightly different).
The only benefits to this diag mode is manually changing the PRL, or if you wanted to provision the phone to another cdma network, Other then that no real development use/need.

I am sorry that you are the opinion that it is worthless. However, it does have merit and I am glad I posted it for the people that it helped out. Whatever you think, being able to access diagnostic modes for devices is essential to development. All the other people who have posted the same information in the other HTC phone dev forums seem to agree with me. Since It took me quite a while to get some of this working on the rezound due to it not being in this forum, I thought it might be useful to someone else. I personally like sharing information I have learned. The path to enable this diagnostic mode is not the same as any other phone I came across. This leads me to believe that it is useful information.
Just tell us what we can do with it. Then it isn't worthless. That is seriously the only difference. If there is something that can be done with it, by all means, post it. I know you don't want to help me so I won't be expecting anything.

I honestly assumed that all the all knowing people in this forum would already know why one would want to be able to access our phone with QPST. I've only been doing HTC dev for a couple days and I already figured it out.
Off the top of my head:
Back up NV ram without being in recovery
Full access to EFS
Access to change all NV variables
Radio troubleshooting
Radio transmit power
A real world example would be the ability to trouble shoot the SMS problems associated with using the Rezound on non-Verizon networks.
I wasn't even looking for any of this. All I wanted to do was turn on the serial output over USB, but I came across this information and I thought someone else would find it useful. As I've said before, people thought it was useful for other phones. How was I to know that it would be received as such here.
I know that a lot of you already know this stuff. The problem is that since it was assumed we wouldn't have S-OFF no one has posted it for our phone. That means that the people who are doing dev work more complicated than changing font size in a ROM have had to look elsewhere for information. I haven't posted a single thing in this dev forum that wasn't posted in another HTC phone's dev forum. I also haven't posted anything that was already clearly answered in a post in the rezound forums. I personally think that everything I have posted is relevent to dev work. Other forums have used blurry-cam shots for developing S-OFF. It was reasonable to think that clear highres shots might be useful for something. People are still locking and unlocking their bootloaders. It was reasonable to think that having super CID so that you wouldn't have to lock the bootloaders before flashing an RUU would be useful to some. Personally, I like being able to have my hboot not say "locked". If nothing else, how is that any different from people who like a different splash screen for their phone? I can guarantee I've spent more time in hboot than anyone here has spent looking at their splash screen. Aside from that, I actually have come across some very minuscule things that superCID brings that I can't articulate right now. I'm way too pissed off to get that technical. Maybe it is worthless, but with the work I'm doing it would be stupid to not consider it. Until I posted here I had no clue people would think it was worthless and there wasn't anything in any of our forums to suggest otherwise.
I could go on, but I'll change direction a bit. I'm working on getting 100% pure AOSP working with a current 3.3 kernel and a new customized hboot. I already have the kernel compiled and semi-working and would be in the same place with AOSP but google made changes to their build process in the last month and I ended up with a corrupted build tree. I haven't wanted to say anything because a. I don't want to get people excited if it ended up not working or I decide something else is more interesting, and b. because I want to have something that is past the pre-alpha stage before I say anything.
EVERYTHING I have posted is useful information for the DEV work I am doing. I just wasted 5+ hours dealing with the fact I thought someone else might like the info and having to deal with the snooty people that ruin XDA for the people like me who are doing this kind of work for the pure thrill of the fact that it is borderline impossible. I personally think AOSP is flawed at its core and is ultimately a waste of time, but I don't care because it is still something fun to work on and I'd like to think that I can ultimately make a tiny difference towards fixing the issues I see with it. Discussions like this just make me want to delete my account and just keep the info to myself.
Well if you would have posted that to begin with we wouldn't be having this problem.

I assumed that all knowing people like you already knew it. I admit it is completely my bad for not going deeper into it. Aside from the fact that I thought I was doing the right thing part of the reason I posted in the dev forums is because I didn't want people who haven't at least read the dev forums messing around with this stuff since there is a pretty much 100% chance of ruining your phone if you don't know what you are doing (and probably not much lower of a chance even if you do. I'm honestly kind of surprised I haven't bricked my phone yet).

Concerning aosp are you close to just booting? Or have you been working on ril too?

Good point, will do so. Don't know why I didn't think of it.
Unfortunately I lost all my work with AOSP. I only just now got the source re-synced. Hopefully it won't take me too long to get back up and going though. I'm going to start from scratch this time instead of building off of someone else's work so when I have errors they will be mine and I won't have to look all over the place trying to figure out what is going on. I did just get done with a basic generic build though so at least that is working.

1) Alto of times when the i777 is flashed with a i9100 firmware (or just rooted and has the yellow triangle on boot up) you will get the i9100 startup screen.
2. When you flashed a i9100 firmware it will include a modem for the i9100 which is not compatible with our i777 and the sound when making calls the other person on the call will not hear you.
3. Baseband is the installed modem. Which shows you have a i9100 modem.
So just download this file and flash it in cwm and you will have a i777 ICS kernel from Entropy, a i777 ICS modem, and all the appropriate files for your phone to work properly.

I think maybe u misunderstand. I never post BS....or call someone names...I do however encourage them to search. Sometimes I'll just say search. Other times ill try and answer the question. I'm far from a professional. I've just been here longer. That doesn't make me any better than anyone. But we all have to be held to the same standards. I understand his first language isn't English. I didn't call him stupid or anything. This isn't personal. Let's not make it personal.
Edit: also this is a double post. At least one or both his threads should be deleted.

Never personal, a BS responses to me = a non value response as 99% of what I see you posting is... If you can't help someone why even respond? uMM to up your post count? If they didn't get it before they posted it they wont get it with you telling them.... People who post these threads are scared, confused etc. a little help in the right direction goes a long way... You are 100% correct about searching Google but sometimes the 1 on 1 help is a comfort... I know XDA is not a place for comfort and all the threads clog the search but once they post what can you do.

if you dont want "BS" to be posted, the why are you responding to a guy that you claim to only post it? knowingly encouraging something that you say you don't like would only make the problem worse in your situation. wouldn't it? it would be cool if everyone would either....
1.) not bicker back and forth
2.) just not respond to eachother
3.) focus on the OP's question at hand
by the way. getting scared and coming to XDA should never be a reason for someone to get "special" treatment. that only makes the issue of clogging forums and spoonfeeding worse. if someone has done something that they are scared about or nervous, then they decided that they were better than most people and decided not to read all the prior warnings that are usually labeled before flashing anything.

Let me start first by requesting you spend more time reading since reading is not only good for us but for you too, seriously.
You said you found out the device is actually i777, it's good, it's a good sign, at least you checked and asking in the right forum.
For ROMs, both GB and ICS, let me direct you to this thread by Chris.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1532368
But before digging into any of those, I strongly recommend you getting your device back to stock first.

For those questions you asked, I believe Rock has already covered.

My point Ratt I hope linked him to the right file. The OP said thanks, why does he then have to post unless it's something positive to add it's not the first time..... I did call him out first sorry for that. My response was only to his response... The OP only had 3 post I felt bad for him. (Should I not be responding again)

Because if you don't correct the behavior, it perpetuates and repeats. The guy made multiple posts on a subject that could have been answered by reading. How else is he going to know that if no one points it out?

The responses in this thread is exactly why I regret buying my phone. I love the phone and hardware but the behavior of members in the forum is downright rude.
The OP should have posted in Q&A. The OP should have read more, but it does not warrant the responses from others of being rude. The OP can not write really well in English, what makes you think that the OP won't open 10 new threads asking what they can't understand after reading? I want people to read like crazy, but I don't want to read rude post... there is a moderator that takes care of all this, stop trying to act like one with the rude behavior.

FAQ
(Other common questions/answers may be added to this list by posting them in the thread.)
Can I root this phone? / Is there a root for this phone?
NO. Not one of the multitude of root options currently work for this phone. We have exhausted every single option. None exists. The very best minds on XDA worked on it but were unable to make the root stick. (It is a read/write issue) There are no plans to continue development of root by existing XDA devs. At this time, No **ACTUAL** dev is working on this phone. Only novices and those new to root are working on it.
Can I post a link to a root for another phone I found?
NO. It's likely one of the many found below. (see: Untrustworthy sites/links)
Has anyone tried [INSERT THING HERE], yet?
YES. We have been at this for months. We know all the methods, already, and have exhausted them. Anything more would require a brand new method no one has tried or posted about, yet. You can share something that has not been offered before in the old thread or is not one of the Untrustworthy sites listed in the bottom of this post.
Is there a custom ROM/TWRP/ETC?
NO. Until root is achieved, this is an impossibility. If you want the Lollipop feel, why not try Nova Launcher. It has material design built in!
unlocking is the same as rooting, right?
NO. Unlocking is for network access (like using Verizon on a TMOBILE phone). It in no way means you have root.
Is it true TMO/METRO/ZTE is releasing root for this device?
NO. There is zero confirmation of this even being a remote possibility. Only speculation after a single email from an unknown sales rep. Please do not keep this rumor alive. It is the #1 reason the devs stopped working on this phone. #2 was negative attitudes/disrespect.
I just installed/used a file browser and I can get into /system. Is this important?
:
NO. That doesn't help root or show that you have root. Think of it like this: You can use Windows Explorer to view your System32 folder, but you can not manually alter its contents. Being able to see something doesn't mean it is editable/writeable.
How do I turn off connection/touch/etc vibration?
Go to settings> sound> alerts and notifications (Toward the bottom) Uncheck the box associated with the item you want to disable.
Can I...? should I...? Do I...? Is this...? Will you...?
99.9% of your questions have existed and been answered in these amazing forums for YEARS. Please use the search feature built into XDA to find the answer to your common questions.

...
IMPORTANT
Please make sure all posts are on-topic, respectful, succinct, educated, researched, reviewed and have correct (or at least adequate) spelling and punctuation. Thank you!
Also, PLEASE RESPECT ALL DEVS AND THEIR HARD WORK. This is not the place to beg, brag or post messages like "Boy, I'd really like to have root". We all want root, but hounding the devs to do it is not a good motivator. Patience & respect are.
The original discussion thread was closed at my (the OP) request, since I do not own the device, nor do I have any interest in maintaining a database of FAQs or guides or accessories. Thus, a new thread was created by someone who willing and able to keep any and all pertinent information on the first page of discussion, rather than scattered and buried amongst dozens of pages and a couple thousand posts.
@therealduckie It's all yours now.:good:
Add purpledrake to the WILL NOT ROOT zmax list before it's asked.
A fresh start! A great idea @therealduckie and @Planterz :good:
If you need anything, I'm an "@Darth" away!

How on earth can a thread reach the epic proportions of this one, yet the ZTE zmax hasn't been offered its own forum?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Because nothing has been achieved yet deserving of its own forum. Forums are granted to devices when there is so much going on with them that there's too many individual threads scattered about the place that it behooves the people that organize XDA to contain them all in one place.
For example, one of my phones, the Samsung Galaxy Light. This phone has a "how do I root" thread, a discussion/development thread (with accompanying Q&A Bot thread), a couple different modified stock ROM threads, a TWRP development thread, and a CyangemMod porting thread (and accompanying Q&A thread). That's like 9 different threads, give or take, plus several more asking specific questions. All scattered throughout the place, but it apparently it's not enough yet to warrant its own subforum. There are many other devices in the same boat.
At this point, all the ZMAX has is discussion. No root, no recovery, no ROMs. Everything there is to talk about with this device is easily contained within a single thread. Turning OP control over to someone willing to maintain it is something I should have thought up a while ago.
Realize also that new forums need moderators to monitor and micromanage them. So if you ask "well, why not just make a new forum?", that's a big reason why not. The forum software can handle it. It'd reduce confusion and clutter. But someone has to herd the cats.

I think this is somewhat on topic (if not please delete) but I was just able to pair my dualshock 4 controller with the ZMAX. I played a little GTA 3 but with considerable lag. I'm trying different ideas for how to be able to map the buttons so getting in a car isn't L1..anyway, this was amazing to me because I thought you had to root the phone for the DS4 to work. If it's ok I'll post more when I have something else to say on this.
Thanks!

Everyone including @Darth there is literally no development at all happening here so what is all the STAY ON TOPIC talk about? I don't understand it. Really I could see if someone was actually doing anything toward achieving root then, ya know, we need to stay on topic. But this is a GENERAL THREAD so what , if any, is the topic. This is, at best, a thread that a few people are trying every one click root in the world.
I'm sorry if I'm hurting anyone's pride or sense of accomplishment or always being negative, but honestly there is no topic here. It's about the Zmax and 99% of the people here have no idea what root truly is or how it even works, let alone have a chance in achieving it themselves for this device. Myself included! I'm just against getting my hopes up or anyone else's for something that is nowhere close to being completed, or started, for that matter! I mean isn't it better to be realistic or is everyone here really that optimistic. I'm all for getting root but we need knowledge to achieve this and without ZTE or a mobile securities expert, cough cough @jcase, then we are just passing the time here, surrounded by friends, at best!
So, in saying all of this, I ask all the people that say, "Stay on topic!" Why can't this thread, be a hangout/ fun/ noob friendly/ awesome freaking place to come and talk to friends and people, that have the same phone, interests, and love for Android.
Also, I ask you,(the OP, @Darth, and etc.) in the kindest, awesomest, only way I know how, to not turn this place into an, "It's in the OP!"/ impatient/ rude response giving everytime/ awkward/ no sense of humor having/ no fun having/ dull/ dead/ boring/ thread!? Because to me that's the vibe I'm getting from this place already! But maybe it's just me, I just don't get why everyone is so uptight and mad about nothing! If development does occur ask people to sit back and watch and listen. But just because you make a thread OP organized with a FAQ table and a few rude sentences doesn't turn this into a Development thread with actual progress. I want my ZMAX rooted as much as the next man really I do we just need more than us to do it. We need to find another DEV like jcase that's willing to help! Even if for a fee AND WE actually treat him or her like a dignified human BEING THIS TIME. I truly believe that is our only hope!
I've been around XDA-Developers for 5+ yrs, yet only been a member a few and I've seen my fair share of awesome threads and I think this could be one!
Live Long and Prosper! \\//
It doesnt take an "expert" (i hate ppl calling me that), it just takes someone dedicated. I have no education in computer science, well i didnt when i started.

@jcase I don't suppose you could point me in the right direction when it comes to starting android development? I've got a rudimentary knowledge of Linux, Java, and C but I really don't know where to start learning when it comes to android development. I'm willing to be dedicated, I'm just not sure where to start.

Sorry friend but can WE as in this thread and community start over with you! Can we be friend again. Don't forsake us for a few bad apples @jcase ! As you have seen and can tell we don't know what we are doing here honestly. Is there anyway you could point us in the right direction. Or maybe get us started somehow. I or maybe We don't want spoonfed or maybe we need spoonfed even if we don't want to say it. But anyways if we don't know where to start how can we finish is all I'm saying!
We need your help and I'm willing to do whatever to help in the endeavour! We do have quite a bounty amount built up $400+ pledged. I don't know if that's enough for you to be interested but I know money would help anyone!
So what I'm asking is for any help friend!
Hope your health is improving. Your life is more important then this phone. So when you're well and rested and ready we are all here waiting with baited breath.
See ya when you are up to it.

Our condolences go out to you and your wife. I think I can speak for a lot of the people here when I say that your health and well-being are more important than what this thread is trying to accomplish.
Glad you're getting better!
Hi guys, I installed the 35b and the latest azadi rom following all the instructions and i dont have movile data at all, calls are normal, on screen notifications the message: "SIM card is not from Verizon Wireless", I really like this ROM so i´m very sad, i´m in Colombia in Movistar service, thanks for any help,
You might change the title of the thread to include the carrier you're using since it's possible only people who use this phone on that carrier would know what specifically to do to make the phone work with the carrier, if possible.
Did the phone previously work with this carrier on another ROM you had flashed or on completely stock?

Yeah, anybody know what happened? I was getting ready to install Azadi .... now the thread is MIA. I've only heard good things about the ROM. I hope this is just a fluke that an Admin can correct.

She posted in the CM13 thread that she sometimes hates XDA and something like that all Android users are stupid:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Maybe it's related to that.
I don't fault her to be honest. I see the attitude not just here on XDA but in real life with certain people showing little to no respect at all towards others who have put long hard hours working away from family/friends/etc only to be treated like crap and "ooohhhh why doesn't this have this feature like other thing has you need to have that feature."
I'dont get it...it was the best MM rom for that phone. Of course u are gonna get many folks asking for this feature or to do this and that...there are so few roms and this is the most popular. Its a given when u post your stuff to a site like this.
Its like whining about youtube comments....deal with it, get used to it. Ignore it. Real idiots is ones who throw a tantrum, or give a giant middle finger and fume their way off a site blaming others.... BUt they can choose to delete their stuff if they want to, still a **** move. So she switches to an iphone and no longer wants to dev Android...ok....so update the rom thread to say discontinued, and lock it. Simple. But nooooo....to bad. Least I had the files saved.
Even more sickening is that people 'thanked' that snotty reply by bschmidy.

I use @xdabbeb 's stock rooted 47A firmware with maximum debloating. Debloat zips [UNSTRIKE]and link to @joshua70448 's nice online custom debloat zip generator[/UNSTRIKE] (was down but it's up right now) in the third post of that thread, or in my signature below. I use Nova Prime launcher along with G3TweaksBox, Flast Style Bar Indicators and Greenify Xposed modules (the last one with aggressive doze), and a few others.
While I do want to give Fulmics a try if they ever resolve the reported US 4G issues on the vs985, the 47A rom seems to be working out great. My only "issue" at the moment is that it seems to suck down battery a LOT more (when active) than it did on KitKat - standby is fine.

Ugh, it's amazing how one or two bad apples spoil it for everyone... Azadi was an awesome ROM.
Does anyone happen to have an archived copy of the last build? (2129 I believe, came out a day or two before the thread was deleted) -- I was waiting for it, got sucked up in real life things, then it was gone.
Okay, I can't keep my mouth shut anymore.
Out of the blue, RoxanaSchram posted in the CM13 a rant that I, for one, didn't even understand what she was referring to. This was only the most recent time she had expressed a desire to leave XDA and to go back to iPhone. My impression of her post is that she was rude and disrespectful. Hate XDA? Can't wait to go back to iPhone? What was keeping her? If she did hate XDA and couldn't wait to leave, why was she posting on XDA about it at all, and why in the CM13 thread?
Even before the other person's response to her first post, I thought something similar. "Well, see you!"
It was RoxanaSchram who chose to leave XDA. She was already on her way out - she said so. Noone pushed her. RoxanaSchram is the only one who's responsible for deleting her ROM thread. If you want to blame someone, blame the person who did it - her! Noone else made her do it. Noone else made her delete (or hide) her G3 files from Android File Host.
But somehow you people manage to blame anyone but the only person who's responsible for these things. Roxana. Sure, a few of us have remarked to her initial offending post in like kind. If anything, I felt that responses to her have been fairly restrained. If she doesn't have respect for XDA or it's users (need I remind you her claim about Android users being idiots?), then she should've just gone somewhere else and not posted off topic in the CM13 thread about it.
I keep waiting for users to stop mentioning the whole thing. Somehow, once a day or so, someone manages to make sure the issue is still alive, and here I am doing the same thing so now I'm guilty of it. I'm just tired of Roxana not being held accountable for her actions and the blame being put on others.
Good day.

I may know someone to contact for your question above....(uhhhh me) However, I'm not sure what the XDA rules are about reposting and/or distributing something like that. I certainly enjoy being here in the forum and want to follow the necessary guidelines. So if a moderator wants to clarify on want is acceptable, I would be glad to share Buzzy.
Actually, since the files still exist on AFH in public domain I assume it's fine

I take no credit for this ROM, just re-posting links that were already created by Roxana Schram. This ROM was designed by RoxanaSchram....
Without quoting anyone in case there's an issue, I'll just say thanks for the posts, and I apologize for my part in keeping this going. I just assumed (I know, I know) there had been a blowup in the support thread as there had been occasionally before. Sounds like there must be a bit more to it, though, so I'll just be quiet in my uninformed state.
But thanks b00ster!
