Hi. I haven't been doing changing roms in D620K for few months and now I want to get back doing it, however I'm not sure which custom rom has well working USB tethering. I really need this thing because I use it frequently and I haven't got any way to give my PC the internet. Have you tested it in specific Custom ROMs? I'm really thankful for every helpful answer.
Sorry for any mistakes in text, I ain't English speaker.

I'm just getting ready to flash my first ROM. I haven't been able to find out whether the tethering feature will still work through MEdia Net when I get done. This is critical for me. My old Cingular 8125 was a real pain to get tethered, but the stock ROM on my Fuze makes it simple. I can't afford to lose that ability.
Thx
Tether should work with the custom ROMs. If you have any troubles with it, post in the thread of the ROM you choose.
Currently I have a HTC Touch Pro with Sprint, the ROM has never been changed since I got it, I have modified many things about it but I have never gotten as deep as flashing ROM's. I'd like to do this without bricking my phone so I am sort of paranoid about being careful doing this.
Basically, I am canceling with Sprint and I want to change my ROM to work with the Verizon/Alltel network so I am able to activate it on the PagePlus network. I know there are many things to go through on this forum that probably answer my question.. but I don't know where to start.
Are there already instructions for this somewhere or could somebody give me some? Any help is appreciated.

You have to unlock your device before being able to flash a rom on it. The flashing and the transferring of the device to another carrier are two separate matters. If I were you (and considering that Verizon tech support are not the smartest, or the brightest), I would leave the device with the stock rom, take it to Verizon, have them add the device to their network, and then unlock and flash a new rom. I have a tutorial on how to flash to other roms (look in my signature), but do it only when you are ready.
Good luck!
1st- no pc experience. eww. mac based, no boot camp, parallels, or any pc stuffs on my workstation, because its mission critical.
i see you guys usually give a lot of options as far as custom roms, but i want the idiots guide. do it like this and you cant fail guide.
my phones performance has deteriorated, and has been hard-reset twice to no avail. So before i smash this thing (seriously almost tossed it like twice already). I want to crush it so badly.....help!
questions:
can i do this without a pc?
is there a 6.5 rom that i could use?
is there a custom rom that has all of the standard sprint apps?
tell me the best, most stable one to use if i can- and WHY?
thanks in advance
Try this...

Here you go man, this is what you need to unlock your phone without having to use a pc or mac for that matter, you can unlock the phone with your microSD card with these instructions and learn some more incase you ever have to flash back to stock. (sorry, link from ppcgeeks, I am sure there is one here at xda but this is the one i knew of...)

as far as a rom that is 6.5, that is totally up to you, I have a hard time sticking with one. I usually use VETVITO/ENERGY/NFSFANS/and Mighty roms and constantly flash to their newest and greatest. here are some links to their roms...
VETVITO: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570186
NFSFANS: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=98809
there are more others, you are going to have to search on what you need. I find that for CDMA devices PPCGEEKS has a bit more roms.
I started here at XDA when I flashed my first phone and people here help you out so dont feel bad asking questions, if its not out there, someone will help you find it.
Hi Guys as my title Says..
i need Help very Badly.
First of all MODS and USERS i'm sorry i didn't knew where to post this thread so if its in in-appropriate section please move it to correct section. THanks
OK my problem is this.
i recently (less than a week ago ) bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 its by Bell Canada and its i9100M. i bought it online since my service provider is Rogers.
i guess this phone is already rooted to unlock it and i can see CWM and SU icon there.
Well i'm a Hardcore Blackberry Fan and have been using Blackberries from last 6 years. I loved the new samsung because of it looks and its screen.
I Had Lot of Problem with it like setting up my yahoo as push email, setting the Ringtone Profile, setting up the Custom Ringtones for Text Messages..
Having wrong time stamps on Recieved TEXT Message.. well i fixed all those by installing apps from market and forwarding my yahoo to my gmail...
i Hated doing all that but infront of the beauty of this phone i had to compromise but today it took 3 hours to find my gps location and day by day im using it i'm hating it .....
SO OK I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT ALOT... the more i'm researching the more i'm getting confused...
first of all what is the difference between custom ROM and KERNEL.
i know custom rom could be like operating system but customized by unofficial person.
what the h is KERNEL..
to install rom's or kernel do i really have to root.
To unlock do i have to root or is there a paying method.
also i want to know if i'll go back to stock rom can i still unlock it.and recieve all the updates from samsung or google specially when ICS will be launched.
after unlocking and installing custom root. can i unroot it
and lastly which is best custom kernel and which is the best rom availble.
since been a blackberry user i have very basic needs. i don't play any games or download much apps and if an app is paid..i'll pay for it.. i don't want to jailbreak anything .
all i need is better battery life, gps and network coverage.
Thanks for taking time to read and reply.
Hi there.
I'll try and get through your questions as simply as possible,
Imagine your phone is like a car
A kernel is like the engine of a car - it's the low level machinery that keeps it going.
The Rom is like the body of the car around the engine. Roms can be official (or Stock Roms), or they can be customised by other people.
So, when you install a stock rom - you're installing the kernel, but you're also installing the radio (called a modem or baseband) and the registration (or the CSC which is location specific information) as well as the unique 'body' of the car for that rom - tweaks, default software, etc.
You don't have to have rooted your phone to install a Rom. When you update your phone via Kies, you are, literally, installing an stock rom. You can even install stock roms from elsewhere without rooting your phone. Because stock roms are released in different regions at different times, lots of people update their phones to the latest official roms via this method - no root required.
However, to install a custom, unofficial rom, you will need to root your phone as they will require access to the 'root level directory' of your phone's file system - which is what root really means.
You can find everything you need to know about that, how to root and also lots of stock roms you can install without rooting here:
Some shops will root you phone for you if you want to go down that path and don't want to risk it. But it's easier than you think and the galaxy s2 is very hard to break. There's lots of help available on XDA - just remember to search before you ask so you don't ask a common question the millionth time.
If you have installed a custom rom you can easily re-install a stock rom over it that will still work with Kies and thus be updateable when ICS turns up.
There is no 'best' Rom or kernel. Some Roms go 'as is' and some are customisable to the nth degree if you like fiddling with your phone non-stop. I personally use CheckRom because I like the kitchen app that lets you swap kernels, modems and mods with ease - but check out the Original Android Development threads and see which other roms you like the sound of.
Depending on what you are currently running, a new rom - even a stock one if you're running a very old one - could easily help with battery and range issues. For GPS - try installing FasterFix from the market and see if reassigning your GPS fix to a closer location helps.
Best of luck - it's a great phone once you open up its possibilities
Thanks a lot for the reply
well your reply did help me a lot...
my phone is been already rooted by someone else already from the person i bought it....
as for searching i did a lot.. and its been confusing me more and more ..well thanks for your answer
also as u said S2 is hard to break..i guess u mean is that the JIG thing on EBAY
and as for flashing the stuff i've played with other stuff just not android thing ive replaced the os on BB and jailbreaked iphones and installed macintosh on HP PC and also worked on most of the languages 10 years ago... and i believe nothing is impossible so going to someone else is never an option for me
just want to know as much as stuff i can before going further
well i have few more questions
how can i find which rom or kernel is already installed...
i mean is it possible to tell if its stock or its customized and its customized by which group.
and one last thing.. u know the words u used modem and baseband...
i read about it before...
but my question is ...
IS THE BASEBAND ANYTHING LIKE IPHONE BASEBAND???
u know in iPhones when baseband is updated u r screwed sometimes its hard to jailbreak and definately hard to unlock and reverting changes to baseband....
is it the samething in Galaxy S2 as well...
Thanks a lot for replying...i really appreciate all the time you took to reply.
Thanks once again.
Yeah baseband is the code that handles the phone part of your smartphone. Talking to your wireless provider, 3G, texts all these things are done by baseband.
Flashing a different baseband won't screw your root, and you'd still be rooted. Samsung doesn't make it hard to root as Apple does to jailbreaking. Even if something goes wrong with a new version, you can always revert back to old one using Odin(Samsung ROM flashing tool) and you are good to go.
Thanks a lot... about that quick reply...
i'm gonna collect more information and hopefully i'll be flashing it on weekend...
but how can i find which rom or kernel is already installed...

Everything you need to know can be found here. Most of it, anyway.
Backup your device with cwm when rooted ... So you can always restore to previous state. ;-)
Good luck there. But reading is a must.

Setting went wrong when quoting
sgs ii - xda
also you can go settings - about phone - then look at the bottom fields to see kernel, baseband and build. Quote those and we should be able to tell what you have.

Hi everyone i am new here and I would like to ask a question. Does custom roms, rooting, developing tricks etc. that work on a certain phone will work on another phone with same hardware...In other words are custom roms work on phones with same hardwares.For eg. Mmx a110 and a89 have the same processor,so will custom roms for a110 work for a89..If not why??
Unfortunately no, even if the 2 devices have the same hardware, the software might be installed to a different part of the flash memory.
If you flash a ROM for a different device you will brick your phone, and you might not be able to fix the damage.
how can ai install a new rom on my droid razr
Hello everyone! i own a razr XT910 gsm version, wich is 6 month old. Everything was great until last week when i decide to upgade to ICS. After upgrade my phone is much worst than before. The batery is lasting now just 6 hours no matter if phone is on or off. The second big problem is that i cannot conect to radio internet anymore, just by wifi. I was thinking to reinstall the GingerBread again coz it was working perfect. Anyone knows how i can reinstal back GB or another ROM sistem that is working good? Do i need to preinstal a special aplication for that or not?
Any answer and guide will be welcomed.
