OK, I bought a Evo Flashed to Metro PCS from someone. I simply did *228 and was able to activate the phone. When you activate like this, you wont get MMS and Internet working, just talk and text. Can i get this working myself? IF so what steps do I take?
wow thanks for the help

Team,
This One-Click Root process will copy over the rooted-update.zip or unroot-update.zip file then reboot your phone. Follow the instructions in the CMD prompt that launches.
Credits:
LeshaK at Samdroid: for the original rooted-update.zip.
gunnarhafdal : for creating the Mac GUI for my app.
This has been tested on stock Android 2.1 Eclair only. If you rooted using another process you can use this process to unroot as long as you didnt load a rom that created links to busybox.
For the following models:
GT-I9000
Captivate SHG-I897
Vibrant SGH-959
GT-I9000M
Epic SPH-D700 (Untested but should work like other phones. Post with your results. This is harmless it will either work or it wont. It copies over 3 files to your existing build.)
Rooting adds the following to your system and unrooting removes them:
/system/xbin/busybox (version 1.17.1)
/system/xbin/su
/system/app/Superuser.apk (version 2.3.1)
and links /system/bin/su to /system/xbin/su
More will follow as they are released. PM me to add your Galaxy S Model.
Warning: I am not responsible for bricked phones, rooting can void your warranty....

One question since this seems to be a major topic as well, any way you could have it load a generic settings.db file or one click exit to the existing one for non-market apps?
That seems to be giving some people a bit of a headache.

This is awesome, I have been waiting for this!
I am having a problem though, I have gotten to the "press the One Root Button" step. The green shell screen says it can't load the update onto my sd card, so when I re-install packages, it can't find the zip file. It does reboot the phone though and it is set on debug, is there a step I missed? I do have another 8g speed6 sd card I put in the empty slot, could that be messing it up?
Well sounds like your drivers maybe not set up right. go to start then run and open up prompt by typing cmd and see if "adb devices" runs and sees your device.

Ah, I just did it manually. Easy. Thanks for the motivation though.
Awesome work. I'll probably wait for the updated version with the "Unroot" option, but very cool nonetheless!
Here is my settings.db file. Some have speculated that it varies some from phone to phone so may need some testing.
It has been edited to enable non-market apps.
reminder to anyone using someone elses settings.db:
Make note of the android_id in your settings.db before swapping. You'll need it!
I think I am going to leave deploying settings.DB alone.

I created a duplicate batch for vibrant when it comes to rooting.
Ill paste the code in a sec.
Side loading
Script I had for SL'ing didn't work cause once adb shell is launched batch imput no longer works.
For those of you who have an error completing the setup wizard, this is how I bypassed it.
1. From the wizard, on the Samsung account screen, select sign up for new Samsung account
2. Select log in with Facebook - which launches a browser
3. On that page click and hold a word to select it
4. Scroll to the right to do a web search
5. Select Chrome
6. Navigate to facebook.com
7. Click the link to download the app which launches the Play Store
8. In Play Store download Nova launcher and then launch
9. From here you can enable developer options and USB debugging
10. Root again and reboot
11.From here, you can use your ADB skills to rename/remove the SetupWizard.apk and SecSetupWizard2013.apk files from /system/app, or as I did, repeat the steps 1-7, install Root Explorer and alter the files that way.
12.Reboot
I hope this helps until we can install a custom recovery and flash ROMs.
Thanks to RandomHandle for helping me repeat the process to verify it worked, as well as clean up the instructions!
I followed all of the steps but for some reason I can't rename or delete the setup files. I re-rooted and even installed root checker to make sure I had root access but it's not letting me touch them.
Did you mount as R/W ?
I am able to rename those files with Root Explorer.

I am still getting boxes popping up occasionally saying that text-to-speech has stopped. Other than that the phone is working good. Thanks again for finding this clever fix.

I don't have the Samsung account screen. I had uninstall alot of Samsung stuff with Titanium, so I don't know if that is the reason. I did do a factory reset from the recovery screen but I still don't see where it says sign up for Samsung on setup...

When you do the factory reset, do you get the setup wizard on the first boot? The Samsung account login is a few pages in after the personal information.

Yeah unfortunately that is the only way to get into the browser to be able to get out of the wizard. Looks like you need to wait for the official firmware release.

Background
Back in the day when every computer connecting to the internet was using a modem and dial-up link, you could also use the modem to dial from your computer to any phone number using dialer.exe. This was great because you didn't have to leave your keyboard and could use your pc speakers and microphone to make a call. This made me wondering if it would be possible to use my mobile phone (in my case the Samsung Galaxy Note II) to act as a modem to make phone calls. I have looked over some forums and managed to get this working. Since it took me a while, I made this thread so other people can replicate.
Before we begin
These steps were successful using:
Samsung Galaxy Note II (Android version: 4.4.2) and Windows 7 (64-bit)
Steps
Connect phone to pc as a modem
Install phone as a modem in Windows
Make a phone call
Step 1: Connect phone to pc as a modem
Enable Developer Options menu
On your phone go to "Settings", "More", "About phone".
Locate "Build number" and tab it a few times. You will get a notification that the Developer Options menu is enabled.
Enable USB debugging
On your phone go to "Settings", "More", "Developer Options"
Locate and enable "USB-debugging"
Enable USB to act as a modem
On your phone go to Phone and dial *#7284# (including the asterisk and hash). The Phone Util service mode will appear.
Under "USB" select "MODEM" and press "SAVE and RESET". Your phone will now reset.
Connect your phone to your pc using an USB cable
If your phone isn't already connected to your pc, now is the time...
Step 2: Install phone as a modem in Windows
I have used this thread to enable the modem under Windows: [REF][XMM] Infineon FlashTool & Comneon 7 CDCs Driver by E:V:A. This might also be helpful to install the drivers for other phones.
Detecting hardware
When your device has reset and is connected to your pc Windows will detect the new hardware, but will probably not find any drivers. There will be 7 CDC's listed as new hardware and one Comneon USB device.
Download drivers
The drivers for the Comneon modem can be found here: DRIVERS___WMC_comneon_3.33.0.exe - 694.68 KB
Or for the brave the direct download link: http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00111/55i/DRIVERS___WMC_comneon_3.33.0.exe
Install drivers
Install the drivers using administrative privileges. After installation the modem should be found and installed correctly. The following devices should be listed in Device Manager
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 3: Make a phone call
Phone and modem
In Windows go to Control Panel and search for "modem". Click on "Phone and Modem". If you haven't set a location before, add one now.
Go to tab "Modems", your device's modem should be located here. Select it and click "Properties". Go to the tab "Diagnostics" and click "Query Modem" if you get a response (e.g. not a blank response) your device's modem is correctly installed. Close all windows.
Phone Dialer
Press Start, Run (or Windows key + R) and start dialer.exe, located in the system32 directory: %windir%\system32\dialer.exe.
In Phone Dialer go to the "Tools" menu and select "Connect using".
Under "Line" select the modem we just installed. Click "Line Properties" and set the "Port speed" to "115200" (this step is not really required).
Now we are ready to make a call. Type in any Phone Number and the Phone Dialer will start the call. The "Call Status" will pop-up. Do not press any of the buttons unless you want to hang up.
Tips & Tricks
You still have to use the phone's speaker and mic to actually communicate. To use the computer's speakers and microphone I use a bluetooth dongle to let the computer act as a bluetooth headset for my phone. Not every bluetooth dongle is capable of this feature, you need one with a headset profile (HSP). The Konig Micro Bluetooth USB 4.0 Dongle has this profile and I use it to turn my pc into a headset.
You can also make calls from Windows using Outlook. Go to "Contacts" and right click any contact and select "Call". You can also make a phone call to any number by selecting "Call" under "More" in the ribbon of "Contacts".
Using Hyper Terminal it is also possible to receive incoming phone calls. You can connect to the COM port that is used by the modem (the used COM port is located in the properties of the modem). When connected to the COM port you can answer a call by typing the command ATA followed by Enter.
Final words
Any comments are greatly appreciated, since this is my first ever post. Also if you have similar successful implementations, feel free to comment so I can add these to the list. Thank you for reading and special thanks to E:V:A for submitting his useful post on where to find the modem drivers.
Great job... but it would have been easier to use speaker phone mode on the phone
Use MyPhoneExplorer...
You can call, sms, install apps, access data, call logs any many more...
No need to do any setting, just keep USB Debugging On....
You can even connect mobile wireless also thru wifi...
Nice work OP!
Another easy way to do this is to install MightyText. But then you're entrusting all your data to a third party.
Nice trick but a difficult one.
Did you ever ask yourself the question ... "But Why?"
The guys over at the Sony Cross-Device forums wrote this up to unlock all bands on Qualcomm boards. Theoretically, it could work on this device too right?

What do you get for doing this?
Propably you'll be able to use a lot more bands than before. Most likely your phone will work on every place in the world now.

after
1. Download this zip http://d-h.st/0Me
2. Extract it and install QPST from that zip
3. Open the caller app and type in *#*#8778#*#* (it should go off the screen after you type in the last symbol "*"
4. Connect your phone to your PC
5. Open ADB console
6. Type in these commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
setprop persist.usb.eng 1
7. Turn off USB Debugging, Disconnect your phone from the PC
8. Wait about 10 seconds (don't have to be exact, just let it all disconnect in the PC) and turn USB Debugging back on
10. Connect it back to the PC. It should try to install drivers. Wait until it fails to install all of them.
11. Open device manager - you will see your device model a few times. Go to details tab. Scroll down a single time on that tab. You will see MI_0x there.
12. Go through those devices until you find MI_04 under the second drop down position.
13. Select "update driver" for this device and install the htc driver from the zip.
14. Press start button and navigate to QPST -> QPST Configuration
15. Go back to device manager -> modems -> HTC
16. Find "COM*" in my case it was "COM3". It might be different for you.
17. In QPST Configuration click on "Add new port" and in "Port" type in your "COM*". In my case It's "COM3" in there. In Port label it could be anyting u want. In my case I used a Z1 so I typed IN "Z1".
18. It should look like this now.
19. Navigate to QPST/bin and open RV_NV_Manager.exe
20. press on settings -> Comport and choose your COM port.
21. Press on file -> read from phone
22. Wait patiently until it is finished. Now pay attention!
23. Go to line 1877, click it and copy the decimal number on the right side of a programme. right click - copy
24. Go to the place where you extracted the zip from the first step and start mzTool
25. On the left side you will see "Input radix" - press decimal there.
26. On the right side you will see "RF BC CONFIG" paste your previously copied number from the RV_NV_Manager.exe there.
27. You will see now what bands are you able to use on the bottom of the app in "Bit information"
28. Switch tab to "Band Preference (NV Value)"
29. In there select all GSM bands and WCDMA bands. This place is really a field of testing. In my case (C6903 LTE) I selected all of GSM and WCDMA. I wouldn't suggest you to do anyting else in here unless you know what your'e doing. Let me know if you got something interesting in there.
30. After you're done choosing what bands do you want - copy decimal number from the bottom right
31. Remove all commas from that number ( "," ) so it would be just a bunch of numbers without anything else.
32. Open RV_NV_Manager.exe from the point you left it (step 23) and paste your new number without commas "," there.
33. Press on write NV and then press on file ->write changed NV to the phone.
34. Open up the terminal emulator on your phone and write there this:
Code:
su
setprop persist.usb.eng 0
35. Reboot the device and hope you'll have the reception. If you do, hooray!
36. Type in *#*#SERVICE#*#* (*#*#7378423#*#*) to see your new bands that your phone can use!
If your phone can't boot then flash stock FTF to your device and you should have your reception back!
Enjoy!
I wanted to mention that I'm just the guy that was interested in this and the person that actually made it possible is @BlackSoulxxx all thanks go to him! He's the guy that did it! Please thank him in the second post!

I've been trying to open the UMTS band VIII, for my Galaxy S5 T-Mobile without any progress, My Galaxy now has the Version 4 of the Phoenix ROM with its own kernel, update the Baseband to G900TUVU1BNH5, the Kernel is 3.4.0 Kernel Ver 2.0 PhoeniX and the number of compilation is KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANH6, install the latest drivers from Samsung and use both Windows 7 and Windows XP (both with Administrator permissions), also use QXDM (Version: 03.12.714) and QPST (Version: 2.7 Build 362), using the code * # 0808 # Access the USB menu and select RNDIS + DM + MODEM, the problem is when I use QXDM to edit the Nvitem 1877, I first write a "0" to enable writing and then write the decimal value to enable the band VIII (562950069289856) I do the same for NVitem 2954 I put a "0" and I write the decimal value (131072) and so far so good then I press the button "write", and the program writes the values to the phone, this I know, because without restart the phone, close the QXDM and QPST, disconnect the phone, then connect again, and run back both Programs and seeking the NVitem edited and there appear the values that putted but when I reboot the phone these returned to their initial values as if they had been edited never .
I know several have done so, even I known a Senior Member (fffft) who was the first posting and helped me with this issue initially, but for reasons that someone plagiarized his material, he decided to close the post where he was helping me.
anyone can help me with this particular? I have changed several kernels (AOSP), and even several ROMs, I used the original Samsung Cable and microUSB generic one.
I've even tried using other NV editors with the same result.
I need to open the band because in my country is where my service provider offers HSDPA + whe the LTE coverage it's no supported
Thanks in advance
Just bought a new phone OnePlus 8 Pro with HydrogenOS and upgraded it to OxygenOS. Although simple I thought this could be of help:
Preparation
Download OxygenOS latest version from OnePlus official website, make sure you choose OnePlus 8 Pro
Copy to phone's root directory
Installation
Power on the phone, no SIM, skip WIFI setup
Go to System > System Updates > Top Right Corner > Local upgrade
The package will be visible, click to update.
Package will be installed, confirm reboot
Installation will take a while
At some point the phone will reboot and get stuck at the dot animation (red dot with two white dots circling around)
Press power + volume up to reboot
Once the phone reboots, press power + volume down immediately to go into recovery
System reset
Good to go!

Hey there, every time I go to copy the global 8 Pro oxygen zip file into root, it says there's not enough space. What should I do?

i have the exact same issuse.
Internal storage in win explorer says 15MB of used storage, 0 MB free.
seems like there are a couple of guys with this issue but every time they post this question related to a specific oxygenOS release, the thread is closed

Ok, i got it working to a point. Now I can get it into the root directory, but it says that its too old for my phone to install and refuses to install it. I think i have to root the phone as the next step, but I'll post updates as I go to keep you in the loop. Here's what you need to do to get to the same point I'm at now, i.e. getting the file into the root folder -- from a total noob (me) to you:
You're going to have to:
1. Go into Settings -->About phone, then tap Build number 7 times. It will make you a "Developer"
2. Hit the back button to go back to the main "Settings" page
3. Hit "System"
4. Hit "Developer options" (this menu will be unlocked after you hit "Build number" 7 times.
5. Turn on "OEM Unlocking"
6. Scroll down and turn on "USB debugging"
7. Go back to the main "Settings" menu
8. Scroll up to "Bluetooth & device connection", open it
9. Select "USB"
10. Select "File Transfer"
Now you'll be able to see your phone plugged into your pc as a storage device labelled "IN2020", you can copy and paste the .zip file directly into the main page of that device. Then when you go to do a local update you'll be able to select it, you'll just likely get a message saying that the version is too old an incompatible.
I'm gonna keep troubleshooting. Will update with more info if i get it. Please do the same if you figure it out before me.
After doing the above steps would my phone got rooted?

Ahoy! So this works, right? I hope to grab one (live in China) so will need to switcheroo immediately as I can't deal with non-google or playstore issues. I figure I won't use this, but will use the toolbox (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t4103509/page13) as I did with colleagues ONeplus 7Ts. Yes? More than happy to unlock, root, install magidisk or TWRP, just want to check this is still an option.

And it did. Noice! Noted that the phone wouldn't pick up my wifi on a VPN enabled router ... but found a setting buried in wifi called 'Network rating provider' and switched it to 'none' from 'Google'. Seemes to have done the trick.
Loving finally having google assistant on a phone - coming from mate20x. does feel small though. thanks. to the person who posted by the way.
I also used two links with similar instructions. Had to use GOogle translate of course. https://www.zhihu.com/question/388849329 and https://24dian30.com/notebook/3413.html
