Is anyone else out there using a stock ROM from a different phone company on their Vivid/Raider?
I'm on Bell (in Canada), and managed to get the AT&T stock firmware to load on my Raider. It took a bit of doing (CID error), but it works well. Titanium Backup was essential to restore my apps & settings from my previous ICS install.
I am s-off with an unlocked bootloader.
I installed Clockwork Mod and ran a full back up onto an 8gb microsd card. Then I put that card away for safe keeping so I can revert back to Bell's firmware. I burnt a copy to DVD to be double sure...
I googled "VIVID_ICS_OTA_ROOTED_CWM.zip" and downloaded it right onto another microsd card. I booted back into CWM and flashed the .zip file and restarted the phone. I saw this file mentioned in other posts but the links were always dead. Doing it this way bypasses any CID errors.
Being that it's rooted, I was able to remove a lot of the AT&T apps I'll never use. I restored my apps with Titanium in about 20 minutes.
The only odd thing was I had to locate the APN entries for Bell so I could get my data back. They are here, just search for it. It takes about 5 minutes.
I've made a safety copy/back up of the AT&T firmware on my system.

Overall, it was a bit of a PITA, but I like the look of the ROM (4G).

I've messed up my efs folder, and idioticly didn't back up, and now my phone doesn't work with my sim card, so I'm shipping it off to Samsung to get fixed up. But of course, I've rooted, used half a dozen different roms and firmwares, and I'm not really too sure how to cover up all my tracks.
I've unrooted using BackfireNL's method for Eclair, before upgrading to Froyo (just to make sure).
In my 'About Phone', though, three things are concerning me. my Baseband, kernal version and build number. My Baseband version is 'I9000XXJPP' and my build number is 'FROYO.XXJPO'. These don't seem very official looking to me. I've flashed the JPO rom from Samfirmware.
And, more worrying is my kernal version.
'2.6.32.9
root(at)sep-35 #1'
(I couldn't put an at symbol cause the system thought I was trying to post a link)
Surely it's not supposed to say 'root' all up in there, plain as day? Is there an official stock kernal I can flash? I've had a search, but I can't seem to find one.
Those are the correct settings for the JPO ROM.
I have exactly the same and haven't rooted yet:

Cant you just format the internal sd from the recovery blot?

I have a rooted HTC One, and I've been running Viper Rom for months. I recently tried to flash the Stable CM10.1.3. When it booted I had lost Phone/Mobile Data. I tried to restore the data, but nothing worked, so I nandroid'd back to Sense.
I still don't have data. My 4G works, but I cannot make calls or text.
Am I correct in understanding that I need to achieve S-Off and flash a radio? Ideally, I'd like to have CM10.1 running on my device with data back. How can I achieve this?

Sounds like you flashed a non Sprint version of CM
PM me I can help you fix it
or you changed your CDMA Subscription status in CM10 from NV to RUSIM
flash back to CM10 and check that. happened to me once
I fixed the signal issue. Here's what I did.
Other thread
I flashed a CM Rom and confirmed that I was on NV not SIM per that thread linked above. I was already on NV so that wasn't the problem. On the CM rom, I typed *#*#4636#*#* and I changed the network from unknown to CDMA/LTE. I tried to make a test call, and it said my phone wasn't active. Awesome sign!
At this point I restored my Sense nandroid. I ran Activate Phone from the menu, and then made another test call. Mission Accomplished.
Hi! I have a huge problem. A couple of days ago I decided to install a custom ROM on my DEFY. I am a total rookie in this field, so I googled a little and got some information needed. I rooted my phone with One Click Root method. Then I installed 2ndInit and got an access to Custom Recovery. I downloaded CyanogenMod10, did a backup, wiped all my data and flashed CM10. Everything worked just fine and I was satisifed. But I forgot to do a copy of my contacts and some other stuff, so I decided to flash my backup back and store my contacts on sd card. I opened custom recovery and wiped all the data from the phone. Then I wanted to restore my backup, but my phone got somehow stuck or something and I had to reboot it. Now I cannot access custom recovery any more! When turn my phone on, I can only see Motorola logo. I can only get to so called Android recovery, where I can only wipe my data, and bootloader. So I tried the whole RDS Lite method, just as it was described here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828639
Everything seemed to work fine, but after getting to around 97% it looked like this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
So I am out of options right now and I have no idea, what to do now. Can anyone please help me? I searched the web and I can't possibly find anything! Please, I really need to fix this.
Say more about phone and computer .
Computer OS , 64 or 32 bit
Phone MB525 526 .. Red or green lens
Have you try other SBF ?
See pics. After unlocking I get a custom Android boot screen and the phone will not read any SIM. Appreciate if someone knows how to reverse this. Running Android 5.0 (can't root, install custom recovery, flash, or update from external storage).

WTH?
Did you unlock the bootloader?

No. AT&T and Verizon lock the bootloader starting with Android 5. I did find that the baseband version is "unkown", which is why the radio is not working or reading a SIM. See picture.
Hmmm
So your ril got corrupted some how is what it looks like to me.
What is "ril" the acronym for?
In any event, where can I get a stock 5.0 or higher ROM that I can hopefully flash from my sd card. All I'm seeing is 4.4.2. Apparently, the AT&T updates are OTA.
Hmmm
I'm out of town right now and can't find one on xda. Try sammobile.com. Don't try ro flash it via sdcard. Odin or adb sideload would be the way to go. I would also suggest rebooting into the built in recovery and resetting it that way.
Thank you. for the suggestions. Before posting the original thread I tried a factory re-set (volume up + home + power), as well as Odin, and neither worked.
AT&T has the bootloader locked tight on Android 5.0 and above.
Yes
That is unfortunately true. Where did you buy the phone? And do you live in the states?
Use Triangle Away apk.
It's US stock, original AT&T device. Worked fine with the exception of poor battery life after the 5.0 OTA upgrade untilit was unlocked.
Hi everyone,
few days ago i decided to flash custom ROM instead of my stock 4.1.1 android to my Smasung Galaxy S3 LTE. Everything seems to be fine but when i wanted to make backup through CWM it did it but to the last cwm folder in storage/emulated and then i couldn't make recovery from it. The path of my actual place where is the data is storage/emulated/0. I don't know why the old files are saved in storage/emulated, i can't see them in my windows. Only root browser can show them. Can i delete them? Or can i just change my new storage/emulated/0 path to the old one and use my old apps with new ROM? This is very annyoing problem cus i've got ~16 gb Samsung, and windows shows that there is only 11 gb available and a lot of this space is coverd by files i can't even see. How can i fix it?
