I ended up bricking a co-workers Wing yesterday and after some internal research, found out that there is a recovery rom that is developed by tmobile to reinstall the original oem rom. I am working with internal departments to allow the rom to be available legally right now. Prod development has the rom currently on t-mobile's intranet. Hopefully they will allow us to use it and essentially make it available to the general public.
No more bricked wings!!

Well that sounds good, please keep us posted.
Incidently it isn't nice to tease the animals . . . .
Well, I am just looking at the legal concerns of uploading the rom without express permission. Maybe I could do so on my home pc.
I now have a copy of the tmo wing RUU but I am trying to get tmo to release it to the public before I send it anywhere.

Is your phone bricked or are you looking to tinker? I might be able to get it to you somehow.

Just looking to try some different ROMs out, but I have no reliable way of backing out if something screws up. I've tried taking dumps but have been unsuccessful.
How'd you get t-mobile to release it to you in the first place? I'll gladly call up and get a copy for myself if I knew what to ask for without sounding like I want to void the warranty.
Xavier6303,... I would really like to get a copy of the t-mobile wing ruu. I bought a phone from an ex-t-mobile employee over ebay, and the bluetooth modem does not work correctly,... I eventually got though to t-mobile's level 3 support and they said my ROM version was old but could not give me the new one. Said I needed to replace the phone.
I have ROM version 4.10.531.3 WWE, dated 03/15/07,... he said the latest t-mobile has is 4.27....
What version do you have? Can I get it from you,... Pretty Please.
What!?!?!? They have a NEW rom and haven't released it? With all the problems this ROM has they are sitting on it?

To my knowledge this is the stock ROM that comes installed on the wing, not an upgrade.
Does anyone else have it or know how to obtain it from tmobile? What could we ask for that would make them give it to us without making it sound like we're going to do something that might void the warranty?
Edit: Sorry. Just realized that I had pretty much already asked this... long week... lol
Xavier just upped it here.

So many smart ass responses to that, but I'll just leave it be
Seriously though, this just might be the beginning of a whole new era for the Wing!

so this is the real deal?
so im thinking of trading my blackberry storm for a g1 but i don't want to get a data plan. i had a g1 when they first came out i hated having to have a what can i do i can flash rom but im kind of new to it im currently on my htc fuze any help would be appreciated thanks in advance
Search will give you the information you need. I believe there's a way to bypass the initial sign in so that you can root then install a custom ROM... but afaik, T-mobile will require you to get a data plan and pester you till you do. I do think that with a custom ROM you can do the initial sign in via wifi...

You only need to sign in on the first boot after a wipe, and only if you have a carrier-customized build. Builds based on ADP1 (or any other engineering build) have a "Skip sign in" option. Then you can enter, set up your wifi and then sign in from there.
thanks dont really understand ill figure it out i mostly catch on quick

the process i guess its cuase i dont have the phone but now that i no that itcan be done ill just buy it and take from there
i believe cyans rom allows you to skip the start up process. if u do go for his rom always get the latest stable version, only get the experimental if ur brave lmao
thanks whats up with the hero roms
Hey all been out of the loop for a little bit and I have a question. With the phone being as locked down as it is I was thinking of getting the Verizon GS5 Dev-Edition. Can I use ROMs and/or Kernels that are in the main GS5 forum?
Thanks for the advice/help in advanced!

If it's the Dev Edition and once rooted, I would think so. I could be wrong.

Appreciate the quick reply! I'd imagine Kernals might be hit or miss but ROMs would be ok but I could be wrong on both accounts and I just wanted to make sure before I bought it.

Either way, the Dev edition is the way to go. There is a custom build in 'Original Android Dev' for the VZW S5 down a couple subforums that is confirmed stable.

Yea I saw the Kernel but there aren't any ROM's in the Verizon forum, the main GS5 forum is hoping though so I wanted to make sure I can actually do what I intend with the device given the money. Especially since I know the Dev-Edition will never get official updates from samsung.

I'm curious myself. I just purchased an M8 but if we can flash ROMs from T-Mobile/AT&T/Int'l/Etc onto the rooted/unlocked S5 DE I'd probably buy that instead.

From what I'm reading it should be ok as long as we use a Verizon kernel because the Intl version seems to also have the Snapdragon 801.
Waiting for someone with experience to confirm though.
Anybody?
Firmware change (htc one m9+)
Hi! I heard that HTC ONE M9+ will be relased in ITALY... :laugh:
But I have imported it by Hong Kong...
Will be possible to change the firmware?
Maybe with a RUU?
Thanks in advance!

Yes.. Since I imported it from there, here in Hungary a shop is selling it much cheaper... I'm crying too lol
You can convert with soff, modifying cid, and using ruu zip, yes

Is possible to Flash the firmware by the preloader? Is a MTK device... If someone have the scatter and the flashable package to share... can be more easy and fast than an soff...

I don't think so. It's actually more of an HTC device which happens to use Mediatek SoC. It's highly customized to HTC's spec. It's not just an iteration of Mediatek's turnkey solution, like almost all other Chinese minor brands.

Scatter file was in the RUU.
Be careful to use SPFlash Tool.

Scary stuff. I'd rather stay on safe path, download mode in s-off, like on recent HTC phones it's fine. Much less risk indeed

Maybe you have reason but i'm not a developer and more difficult than click a button i don't want to do... last time, I burnt my smartphone... completely... I don't want other risks... if there will be a more easy way i will do that... if no, i prefer stay safe...

The reason I'm creating the cleanslate rom is to offer an easy way to update Chinese imported phones. That only needs the usual unlock and custom recovery, which are present.
The more complicated part is when you want to go back to ota.
But of course, I'm just trying to provide what fits in my schedule,and what I use myself everyday. So my stuff is just a possible choice to go with updates instead of ota, like I'd do with other phones custom roms. Admittedly I don't do much customization in the rom I cook, no time for that, but with xposed and sense toolbox working I don't see much reason to reinvent the wheel
I'm guessing we might see some more choices soon, as the phone gets into more countries, and devs might start to buy it.
Still my bet is aosp won't happen too soon with a mediatek chip, but who knows, maybe some talented devs with lots of lots of time might even try that

I've done some searching and I couldn't find any straight forward info about how to relock the bootloader and reencrypt my OP5.
I'll sell it but the buyer asked for it.
Can anyone shed some light and/or direct me to a thread I can rely on in order to do so?

if the customer wants it all stock, u can use that unbrick tool. it'll get ur device all stock again (I guess). do some research bout it before, as I'm still a newbie nd this may just seem a bad idea.
Good luck!✌?

You can have it even simpler(https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...bootloader-flash-twrp-t3704592/post79512430), but it's also a way.
