Metro, T-Mobile SiM Configuration Questions - Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers

I'm trying to diagnose an issue I'm having with my Metro (MetroPCS) SIM card. If anyone is using their X Compact on Metro or T-Mobile, could you please run the following command and let me know what the output is?
adb shell getprop ro.semc.version.cust.active
The output should be 3 digits. Mine is currently blank, so I'm trying to determine if it's because of my SIM card.
Additionally, could you go into the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) > Service info > Software info, scroll to the bottom and post the Current Modem Config value (I'll also need to know if you're using T-Mobile or Metro)?
Knowing this information will help me figure out my problem. Thank you.

Thanks. That's surprising because there's a T-Mobile specific modem binary file that should get loaded if the SIM is recognized. The one you mentioned is the default modem binary file. I'm interested to look at what other people are seeing.

Would loading the T-Mobile one change anything? Like better service? Because I did not have service when camping when other on T-mobile did. Other than that its been working for over 2 years.

Probably not, but I don't know for sure. Comparing the two files, the T-Mobile file is smaller and what is shown is not readable by me (encrypted or binary blob). I just thought that it would be loading. If you run the command I mentioned, I might be able figure out why it's not loading. Running the following command would also help me out:
adb shell getprop persist.sys.sim_config_ids

If I'm honest, I have no idea how to do any of that. I just use my phone lol.

No worries. It would involve downloading the Android debug bridge (adb) and running the commands with USB debugging enabled.

Ok got it to work,
okay my converter sux I got it .D if you could post more info to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4385729 your tutorial for Hero could be much more simpler...
and dont forget to give credits plx .D
best regards
I had mentioned your thread as a credit in my blog post. Maybe I will make it bold now . And I know it could be simpler. When I have time I could write a tool to insert the xml generated by Amber Nokia convertor into the SQL Lite databases directly without doing all the hacks i.e. merging a tutorial to convert NOkia->WM and then WM->Android. The WM bit isn't really necessary tbh.
Sorry I just noticed.. I forgot to include the link to your post and only included the modaco ones SOrry for that.. Done it now
iphone to htc hero???
anyone?
Almost there, but a little help needed please
Hi, have followed all the steps and got a saved copy of import.xml.
Next I connected the phone using the USB cable. (Didn't mount it as a USB device)
Then I opened Command Promt on my PC and changed to the android SDK tools directory.
Then I type "adb shell" (without quotes)
It says:
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
$
At this point the phone disconnects from HTC Sync and I have to end adb.exe (which appears twice) in windows task manager to get it to reconnect to sync.
Any suggestions please?
If it disconnects from HTC Sync, it's fine as long as you get the shell prompt

Maybe not. To be honest I'm starting to feel a bit out of my depth here. I don't really have any programming knowledge and haven't really used dos much before. I'll go and research 'rooting' now, but if you can come back with a quick instruction in the meantime that'd be great
Ok, so I've found various instruction for how to root my phone. Only problem is that they each seem to relate to what network I'm on. I was originally on T-Mobile, but paid to have it unlocked so I can use my 3 sim. Should I just use the instruction relating to T-Mobile? Sorry for so many questions, but I'm a bit worried about permanently wrecking the phone

Ok, if I use the instructions here (my ROM version is 2.73.+) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4525393&postcount=1 do you think it should be ok? I am a bit worried about the part where it says "flashrec is using an exploit that isn't patched yet in the current kernel used by HTC, however if/when HTC patches this, flashrec will stop working. So for now it's ok but a next version might have patched this, so keep this in mind !"

Unlock your Vibrant or Captivate for free

Now that the unlock is out I would like to do it for users without charging like other members.
From a terminal shell on your PC type the commands in the image. Sorry but the forum reads it as a link and since I am a "new" user I am unable to post it. Maybe someone below me can?
PM me and I will give you my email address to send the file to. Again, new user no links
If you wish to make a donation for this service be my guest but it's not necessary.
Thanks to rhcp0112345 for discovering this method but this community is about sharing not profiteering.

How to Unlock Your Samsung Captivate (AT&T) for FREE
Someone test this:
Code:
cd /dev/block <enter>
su <enter> <at this point your phone will ask for superuser access ALLOW it
dd if=/dev/block/bml3 of=/sdcard/bml3.bak <enter>
do that to your rooted phone in ADB
Then just open the file with a hex editor, and SHAZAM! your code is there,
Around line 515040
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...t-Vibrant-quot-NAM-3G?p=13984529#post13984529
I have the file but cant find my code at the area he said it would be. Anyone have a search term that will make it easier to find?
Edit:
Actually, I think I have it. How many digits should the code be?
I posted some detailed instructions here
Got it. Thanks. Now I need a different sim card to try this out on, unless anyone has another suggestion.
Here is another guide. Credit goes to r34p3rex on Howard forums.
You must be rooted Here's how to grab your unlock code off your own phone, for free!
Connect your phone via USB and open an adb shell (you need the SDK installed)
My SDK is installed in C:\Android
cd c:\android\tools
adb shell
Now that you're in shell type in the following
su
dd if=/dev/block/bml3 of=/sdcard/bml3.bak
Mount your SD card on your computer and open bml3.bak in a hex editor. Search for the string SSNV (it's in caps). You'll see something like this
SSNV.±Ì.ž.Ì.å....`Få•1Š>...OÊÄÏñ..ý“œÌ5..ÇõÎ_.coõã Ò@×`^ãQ.ÚR=€[¥×‡ùáâß-P.5370859753708597.51531930.00000000100100101#3101503101703111803104103109809 9999#
In my case, the 51531930 is the unlock code! So basically, it's the second set of numbers (separated by periods).
Pop in a foreign SIM and it'll ask you for an unlock code. Punch this baby in and you're unlocked!

Confirmed working on my Captivate tried a Claro sim card and code worked fine.
Hey guys, I just bought a Captivate from eBay that said it was already unlocked (it was a sub $400 purchase too), how can I verify that it really is?

Put in a different SIM then an AT&T one...
Confirmed here too. Copied the BML3 to computer and used Hex Fiend (Mac), searched for SSVN (in caps). Code is right there between the dots.
Put in a T-Mo SIM and made and received a call.
THANKS!
I don't have any other sim cards, nor do I know any one that uses another SIM-based network (only ATT, Sprint, and Verizon people around here). Is there any other way?
I was thinking about grabbing a pay as you go sim card from walmart or a t-mobile store and trying that route.
Some of the links indicated this works with some firmwares and not others - I wonder if this is the same code AT&T would hand out - if so, it should work regardless of firmware.
Can any unlock expert weigh in?
Actually, I'm gonna use my gophone SIM in the Captivate. I've found someone online that did it and it's now his daily phone.

that method worked great for me. Used HexWorkshop and did a text string search.
It works....So I guess my question is if and when custom ROM's start coming out will flashing a custom ROM undo the unlock?
Works perfect - I used an old T-mo prepaid sim that is not even active (no $$$) - all the SIM has to do is connect to a network.
At one time I bought this T-Mo prepaid kit online for $5 and they mail you a SIM card with 10 minutes on it. Put my AT&T card in and all is well.
I wonder if there is anywhere on the phone to see an unlock status (with the AT&T SIM installed). Does anyone know if Android has a setting to show if a phone is carrier unlocked?
BTW, I used HxD: http://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD

[GUIDE] Galaxy Tab Network Unlock

**UPDATE**
This method causes your serial number to change to 00000000 (which isn't a problem as such as this isn't currently used for anything) but there is a new method which involves directly hex editing the nv_data.bin file, which may be faster and does not change your serial number. You can find the details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843323.
**UPDATE**
First up I'll say that I'm not incredibly familiar with Galaxy S firmware changes/modding, and this mostly builds on work done in these areas, so not all these steps may be necessary but they worked for me. If someone can suggest a faster way to do this/unnecessary steps then please go ahead and reply with them!
This unlocked my Network Locked Australian Galaxy Tab and so I assume should work for others.
You should back up your /efs/ folder before you proceed as you may need this to undo if something goes wrong.
*I take no responsibility if something goes wrong!*
Requirements:
Root access
repair_nv_data.zip (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8942669&postcount=94)
Java
Busybox
The Android SDK for ADB, Root Explorer or some similar file system explorer/editor
(If you have US firmware with no Phone software, you may need to flash European firmware as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838250 ).
Firstly, on your phone dial *#7465625# and check if the Network Lock is set to [ON], if so then your phone is locked (duh), so continue.
1. Use Superoneclick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367) to root your phone (the other z4root method may work as well, but this isn't what I used).
2. Either use ADB or some other method to rename or delete (backup first):
/efs/nv_data.bin.md5
/efs/.nv_data.bak
/efs/.nv_data.bak.md5
(I just used Root Explorer to rename them to something else).
3. Restart your phone and then go into the /efs/ directory and see if the 'nv_data.bin.md5' file has been re-created by your phone, as long as it has been created then you can proceed.
4. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8942669&postcount=94 and download the repair_nv_data.zip file (the credit for all of this mostly goes to that thread and helroz).
5. Install 'busybox' from the Market. Once you install it, you actually have to run it and properly install it (the Market app is basically an installer) - the files in the above zip have a dependency on this.
6. Extract the above zip to your PC, plug in your Tab in USB debugging mode. Run the Step 2.bat from the extracted file. You may need to allow the script super user access several times. This should copy the /efs/ and a bunch of files into a directory with a french name.
7. Run the Reparation_nv_data.jar file. (You will need Java for this step.) It will prompt you to enter two numbers, which are your pseudo-unlock codes. I entered '11111111' and '11111111' (eight 1's) both times. This rewrites the nv_data.bin file to be simunlocked with these details.
8. Run the Step 4.bat. Your superuser app (the one installed when you rooted using SuperOneClick) will need you to allow each command to have root access so keep an eye on your Tab. You may need to press y/n a few times if you encounter errors. This is uploading the edited nv_data.bin onto your Tab.
This batch file will stop several times and need you to hit a key when it pauses. My Tab rebooted halfway through this batch file - when it did this I waited for it to fully reboot back to the lock screen before pressing a key to make the script continued while the Tab was actually able to respond to its commands.
9. Towards the end of its execution it rebooted a second time. It paused during loading up and had some yellow writing on the screen saying it was updating media (I assume it was rebuilding the nv_data.bin). Leave it for a minute and it will prompt you to reboot/some other options. Just press whatever it wants (home I think) to reboot the phone - you don't want any of the other recovery options.
10. Go into your dialer and put in *#7465625# again and (hopefully) voila! Your phone should no longer be network locked. Try a SIM from a different provider to make sure.
Enjoy!
Edit: I had to go out and actually buy a prepaid SIM to confirm that all was working with a different provider. Attached are screen caps of my Tab on two different networks, as well as the network status screen, making/receiving calls etc. all works on both.
Awesome man, thanks.
This is much better than the 2 month wait we had for Galaxy S unlocking.
Hello, I'm french and i use your post to unlock my Galaxy TAB SFR ''réunion island'' and she is unlock thanks for your AMAZING post for unlock TAB
Ps: For unlock my TAB by SFR REUNION, he tell me 150 Euros.... Vive smithdc & helroz
Works well! I had little trouble running java on windows7. But changing compatibility mode to windowsxp sp3 and check run this program as an administrator solved the problem.
Thanks for easy guide!
tacoda, you mean for running the .jar file? or for installing Java itself? (I assume the former).
Sweeet thx , curious if unlocking the AT&T version has hardware only set to AT&Ts 3G frequencies, so 3g wont work on tmobile or is it capable of running 3g on tmobile with a unlocked AT&T tab?

Running the jar file. I didnt know how to run it.

Does the sim card and/or sd card should or should not be plugged in during the unlocking progress?
It shouldn't make a difference Zeron.Wong.

Traditionally, AT&T and T-Mobile hardware used different radios, it was more than just firmware. That's also true on the little brother Galaxy S series, the Vibrant has a different radio than the Captivate (though the Vibrant radio DOES have 1900 band in the hardware, for some reason).
Kudos to smithdc for this awesome guide! I saved a lot of money thanks to him. Congrats again.
Bump, is there any way to sticky/pin this for people?
So your saying if I use this method and install my tmous unlimited sim I can get calls and 3g or do I need a prepaid sim
I'm not sure on how T-Mobile are blocking, but if it IS my IMEI then you would have to use a SIM from a different network.
If they are blocking your IMEI on their network, then you would have to use a SIM from a different network (as a different network, wouldn't be blocking this IMEI number). Changing it to a different SIM on the same network won't help as your IMEI is for the device itself.
I just want to clarify something..
I have a T Mobile Tab and want to use a SIM I have for ATT.
Will I have to flash my device with the EU firmware first in order to get the phone software on it..then do the rest of the unlocking steps?
Assuming thats correct..after unlocking it I then can put my ATT sim card in and it should work for calls and data (Edge only) with not having to tweak any setting at all? Or do I have to set up my wap.cingular connections for the data like on a WM phone on ATT?
And if I want to get back to original out-of-the-box firmware from T Mobile (like if I had to send it in for repair) I just have to flash stock T Mobile firmware and its back completely to original?
Thanks..and wow am I loving this TAB !!!
You'll need to set up your APN data for AT&T, yes.
Thanks for the fast reply. As for the flashing of the EU rom..is that the only/best way so far in order for me T Mobile Tab to get the radio software on it. I was thinking I saw an APK for the radio software someplace but did not know what way was better.
I just want to be 100% sure bfr I take the jump to unlocking and playing with the phone part
thanks
I got a quick couple of questions:
1. If I restore original firmware (Canadian), does it relock my phone?
2. Where can I get the Canadian firmware release? I see EURO and US, but no Canadian.
I read on one of the other threads that sim unlock method also changes your imei number. Is this really case?

Yes, it will set your IMEI to a bogus one that will get your T-Mobile internet access disabled after 1/2 hour.

Flash to Metro PCS instructions

I haven't seen a post or tutorial about this yet so I figured I'd post one for those who might be interested.....BTW,
I AM NOT A PROGRAMMER AND I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR ANY OF THE INFO IN THIS POST, NOR WILL I POST ANY CREDIT.....I pieced so much of it together from so many different posts, that I just don't even remember the OP's. Sorry I'm no genius, just a jackass who stands on the backs of geniuses.
Disclaimer: This is just how I got everything to work on Metro PCS, it may or may not work in the same way for you. I don't warrant or claim that anything discussed here will not brick your phone, bankrupt your business, or impregnate your cat.
Things you will need:
1. Samsung Fascinate (Already Rooted)- Please don't ask; as there are so many already posted and accepted rooting methods for this phone. Seek and Ye shall find my son
2. QPST 2.7 (I used Build 355)- Again, please don't ask as this is considered warez and a taboo discussion on most forums.
3. CDMA Workshop (I used 2.7)- Uh....Ditto my previous remark...DON'T ASK!
4. Metro PCS Files and Support .apk's
a. u2nl
b. autostart.sh
c. autostart.apk
d. anycut.apk - I can't post these files or links to them, but I would appreciate anyone who would like to post or host them for me...just PM and I'll send you the zip if you need it.
5. Android SDK (I will assume that you have this if you have rooted your device) -Please no lectures about assumptions.
6. Samsung Drivers - I can assume you have this as well if you rooted your device. Again, anyone care to post or host...just PM me.
The Task at Hand:
1. Insert and Permission Files:- Let the fun begin
a. Copy all the Metro PCS and Support files listed above to your Android SDK tools folder...in my case this was c:\android\tools
b. Connect your phone with USB debugging turned on (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging)
c. Now open a Command Prompt and change to your Android SDK tools folder.
d. From the c:\android\tools> prompt run the following commands:
adb remount
adb push u2nl /system/bin/u2nl
adb push autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
adb shell
chmod 755 /system/bin/u2nl
chmod 755 /data/opt/autostart.sh
exit
adb install autostart.apk
adb install anycut.apk
adb reboot
This will work if you have system-wide root....if you receive a "permission denied" error after the first command you have local root and will need to run the following comands:
THIS IS ONLY IF THE LAST SET OF COMMANDS DID NOT WORK....from the command prompt c:\android\tools>
adb push u2nl /sdcard/u2nl
adb push autostart.sh /sdcard/autostart.sh
adb shell
su (prepare to allow the permissions on your phone at this time....LOOK AT YOUR PHONE NOW!!!)
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
mkdir /data/opt
busybox cp /sdcard/u2nl /system/bin/u2nl
busybox cp /sdcard/autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
chmod 755 /system/bin/u2nl
chmod 755 /data/opt/autostart.sh
mount -t rfs -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit
(back at the command prompt)
adb install autostart.apk
adb install anycut.apk
adb reboot
2. Provisioning Your Phone:
a. Connect your phone and put it in "diagnostic mode" (Settings > Wireless & networks > Dial up networking)
b. This should present you with a new port in QPST....take note of the port.
c. Now go to whiterabbit's site and enter your login string, then click on generate. (remember to generate the file appropriate for your version of CDMA Workshop) -P.S while you're there at whiterabbit- type your ESN into the lower box and generate your Metro PCS MSL...you will need it later.
d. Now open CDMA Workshop and choose the port you took note of earlier...click connect. Open the security tab and enter the SPC in the box (000000 <SPC) and click SPC then send....then in the bottom left corner click on the custom password box and replace "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" with "2010031619780721" and send....now click on the memory tab and then click on the "write" button under NV items...navigate to where you saved the file you generated at whiterabbit's website and write...now exit CDMAW and click yes at the exit message....your phone will reset.
e. Unplug your phone and plug it back in when it has finished rebooting...it will still be in diagnostic mode...so go ahead and open QPST Configuration...click on start clients and service programming...this brings up a new window...click ok...then click on "read from Phone" in the next new window...enter your MDN and MIN under the CDMA tab them go to the M.I.P. tab....make sure to change from MOB only to MOB w/Simple back....then delete all entries in the top window except the first one...then highlight and edit that entry...make sure the top 2 entries under the new window are correct...then change all the IP's to 0.0.0.0...click OK and now go to the PPPConfig tab click on UM and enter your MSL from whiterabbit's site...do the same to AN....thats it click write to phone and let the phone reboot.
3. Now the Easy Part:
a. Once the phone reboots..you have to turn off "dial up networking" to get your 1x and arrows.....now you have full data
b. Now MMS.....open anycut on the phone...tap the new shortcut button....choose new activity then scroll down to MMS Provisioning and tap it. Your new short cut will be on your home screen...tap it and enter the MMS server for metropcs... exit and your done.
It is 3:04 am and that's as good as it gets for me..I wrote this from memory and I am sure it's not the best tutorial or the most svelt, and I may have left some things out or maybe I was a little vague....do not berate, just feel free to rewrite, edit, append, addendum, or be as helpful as you can in your replies. Leave your egos at the door and treat this like you would a wiki. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Any constructive criticism is welcomed. Have fun.
thanks for the guide! just a quick addition. I think you need to press ##8778# to get into the diag menu so that qpst 2.7 recognizes your phone on your port.
update: got the messaging to work and the data arrows. but the internet just won't push through. also, when I opened Any Cut and went to new activity, "MMS Provisioning" wasn't a option. Is there a specific version i should be looking for ?
Where do I get the metro pcs files? I've looked high and low for them but can't seem to find them.
you can get the u2nl and autostart.sh from white rabbit's website where it saids "precompiled arm binary"
the other two you can just turn wifi on and dl it from the market. hope that helps! if not, just PM me and i'll send em to you.
I've got step 1 completed but I'm having trouble with step 2...
Phone doesn't show up in QPST.
When it says to go to whiterabbit and enter the login string, I'm not sure what to enter. I don't have a MPCS phone number yet if that's what it's looking for...
did you dial ##8778# to get get into the diag menu and set them both to modem? that and putting the phone in dial up networking mode should get qpst to recognize your phone.
for whiterabbit, you need to enter your MPCS [email protected], so i suppose you do need one lol

Ok, the problem was that I had to go to my device manager and tell it to make the phone a different COM port - 3. Then restart QPST and tell it to monitor port 3. That works...
Stumped again...
Ok, we only got this phone to test out the metro pcs service. So we don't have a metropcs account as yet.
When we called the local store, they said they wouldn't add the ESN for us for ANY smartphone.
How did you guys do it? Buy a regular phone first and get it activated, then flash the Fascinate and somehow add the ESN to their database?
Very Nice Guide.
can you please PM me (Metro PCS Files and Support .apk's)

I used on of these sponsored independent agents on howardforums to add your ESN to the database. I would link you to it right now, but I'm not able to as a new member of this forum. Just search "ESN added to metroPCS" on howardforums or PM me

Just PM'd you the u2nl and autostart.sh files. btw, are you the same arvinghost as from howardforums? Did you ever get data to push through because I'm stuck as the 1x arrows showing, but no data too
flash to metro pcs
Damn man I guess nobody check their messages anymore, but anys ways I got everthing done still no internet, so whats the deal
WHO BESIDES THE OP HAS ACTUALLY HAD ANY SUCCESS?
yeah i am also trying to flash a cdma hero and i dont know how to use sdk, not too familiar, but im up for it. any video tutorials any1? this sucks dude, i really wanna learn how to do this i have a phone and i cant even use it.
Did you use a custom ROM or just the standard ROM?
I've tried a few different variations of this method and it doesn't work. At least not with the standard ROM. Also the PPP username and password kept resetting itself back to verizon after reboot so I'm guessing we're gonna need a modified NV-Items file to fix that; the one from whiterabbit doesn't work on this phone.

I had success flashing to metro with everything working. for the ppp settings to stick make sure you use qspt 2.7 build 215 and the m.ip settings with build 355.

You have that xml file? Or a link to it? I'd like to try with new ports, I didn't even have to install AUTOSTART for web to work...wonder if mms works with just the apn.xml....

US Model (x727): need dmesg / logcat and other stuff, root not necessary

Thanks guys, I have what I needed!
Hi, I'm wondering if someone with a Le Pro3 US model (x727) could please provide me with the output for dmesg, logcat and some other things.
Pre-requisites:
have adb installed and working for your device
Make sure adb debugging is on for your device, and your computer recognizes your device, and is authenticated for your device. (I don't know EUI, I've only ever dealt with western AOSP/CAF style roms, you'll have to understand and manage this all yourself).
PLEASE don't type the commands from memory, they have case sensitive options. Please copy and paste them. Thank you.
The following commands need to be executed shortly after fresh reboots. Please don't run them if the device has been on longer than a minute. In fact, please don't stray far from the procedure... please.
Reboot device
Once booted run "adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt"
Run "adb shell cat /proc/partitions > partitions.txt"
Run "adb shell df > df.txt"
Run "adb shell mount > mount.txt"
Reboot the device and perform the next adb step once it's started to boot
run "adb logcat > logcat.txt"
Press "CTRL-C" to stop logging about 30 seconds after the device has settled and connected itself to the cellular network
Reboot the device and run the following once it's started booting back up
run "adb logcat -b radio > logcat-radio.txt"
Press "CTRL-C" to stop logging about 30 seconds after the device has settled and connected itself to the cellular network
Now, the following will likely fail without root, but we'll try for them anyway. Who knows, this might work out:
Run "adb shell ls -la /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name > by-name.txt"
Run "adb shell ls -la /dev/block/bootdevice/by-num > by-num.txt"
Note: None of these commands will produce empty files. If you get empty files, something went wrong. If only a few are empty and you can't seem to get them working properly, just send me what you do get.
Once you've done these things, zip up the files and send them to me in a private message. You don't want these posted here unless you want people knowing your phone number. The text files, especially for the logcat and radio output will be large, but they should compress down to something quite reasonable. Also, please make sure to include your model number so I know which I'm working with. Thanks much.
Thanks.
I can do this for you a bit later today.
Guys, anything? You people want development but can't take time to answer questions....

Don't have my phone yet. If you don't get it by Tuesday I'll gladly help you from that point on. Unfortunately I'm 5 days from the west coast shipping wise.

I have the x720 (chinese) and not the x727 (US) version.
If you are still interested in the data, I will be more than happy to send it to you.
In the meantime, if you are interested in the partition layouts, I've already posted some details about it here: [REF] LEX720 - 64GB - Partition infos

I just sent you a PM.

I think LeEco has disabled adb service as well. adb is not detecting the device. I installed terminal emulator and the device and checked for adbd process, but could not find it running even after enabling USB debug. Looks like the device is completely locked out
I can only speak for the chinese version (x720), but my device came with an unlocked bootloader and adb and fastboot are working perfectly fine here.
Yeah, chinese version is unlocked. I was talking about the US version that I got yesterday. It was a complete disappointment
Thanks guys, I appreciate the help!

How does using the Chinese version work out for you in the US. I'm thinking about returning my US version and getting a Chinese one so I can unlocked BL. Looks like the Chinese one supported all of the same LTE bands in the US, but I could be wrong.

I am not located in the US, but in Austria (Europe) and it works perfectly fine here. (Also supports LTE band 20/800 MHz, which is used here in Europe and often missing in phones made for the chinese market, so I'm perfectly happy with it.)
