Will or Is Force Roaming be available?

Curious if anyone knows the status of the Force Roam option.
I've really enjoyed having that option on my HTC EVO LTE.
Thanks

I've heard a rumor that Roam Control works on it. Haven't had a chance to test it out, I'll see if it works at all sometime later today. I too would enjoy having the ability to force roam (I live in the vicinity of a rural area so at times it's needed) - is great on my EVO LTE running MeanBean.

I've ported the mod but it's not working it worked on the sense 5 port for the ELTE

Roam control v1.4 does work, it's an old version but you should still be able to find the apk.

I'm using version 2.7 working great.

Thanks for the info guys.
I read mixed opinions about latest Roam Control working.
I hope OMJ figures out how to do the built in hack

1.4 works for me, rooted of course.

No you didn't. It's a free download on the website, so you're cool.
Is it working on non rooted phones?

Ah I got it. Thanks I've never dabbled in force roaming before outta fear of Sprint axing my contract for "excessive roaming" and that causing my wife to kick my a** lol but I'm checking into it to see the difference in speeds and just use it in a "as needed" situation. I've come to the understanding that with the right mods you can do the ##778# and edit the prl from there but I'm not entirely sure yet what all that entails. I was just checking around in there and when I selected edit mode under the prl option it asked me for a password and I'm not sure what password it wants. Lol still digging but I'm at work now(in a warehouse so reception is god awful) so after work I may looking into it more. Thanks again any further knowledge anyone shares is much appreciated.

Okay, the RoamControl app does not work on an un-rooted phone. Confirmed using version 2.7 and selecting htc unrooted in options. The developer does not return emails, so those that are looking to roam on a stock device will have to wait for the app to be updated.
It's cool tho, I will be rooted as soon as I'm convinced this phones hardware is worthy of the pounding I'm gonna put on it over the next year! hehe
Peace.

[Q] anybody else not receiving bootloader unlock code from motorola

After successfully registering my Moto X Developer edition to receive a bootloader unstill no response. I have emailed motorola but not heard anything back from customer support either. Any one else experience this? My last moto x DE received the code in a matter of hours.

I got the response in about 15 seconds.. You may want to try again....

I received the bootloader unlock codes for the phones I have unlocked within 5 seconds of clicking the submit button.

Yes I know it wouldn't be a good idea but I know who he is and he has been providing support for us, he is Matt the forum admin from the Moto support forum. I have my device registered with Moto so I don't believe anyone can do anything with the IMEI anyway since it isn't registered with the carrier. Thanks for looking out though I appreciate it.

I tried probably 10 times to get an unlock code using Chrome. When it would go to the final screen it was blank. Used Internet Explorer it went through the first time. Just an FYI

unlocked bootloader for my motox on attunlocked bootloader
Hi, I am totally blind, and it's really hard to navigate these forums, I tried to send a message to zat and the other motorola employee, but my screen reader doesn't read the imbeded objects very well. I understand in general that bootloaders are not unlocked for att devices, but with the overlay, my talkback screen reader doesn't work very well, so would like to gain root, to use a different rom or remove the overlay with titanium backup. If you guys could please make an exception, I love this phone and don't want to return it, or could you guys trade me for the developer adition or some way for me to resolve this problem. My email is [email protected], and I'd really appreciate you guys allowing me to unlock my bootloader or some resolution.
Thanks:

Bounty Thread in Verizon forum tallying ATT exploit

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52145867
Come on guys go over there and kick in some money. I'm returning mine tomorrow and I'm still kicking in 50.

I pledged $35, although I may raise that after some thought.
Come on guys! If you are at all interested in pitching in for a bounty to find an exploit for rooting our S5, head on over and pledge any amount!

I pledged $50 but in two weeks im going to up mine to $100

Is there a reason why anyone can't just get the T-Mobile S5 and unlock it for use on AT&T?

Perhaps some people don't feel like paying $700 upfront, plus other charges to sim unlock.

I don't understand the logic of offering a bounty in a forum for a different phone. Yes, Verizon has locked their bootloader as AT&T has, but there is no reason to believe that one hack would work for the other.

Since both bootloaders are locked and root will depend on a kitkat exploit there is a better chance that it would work for both than you think.

I think it would depend on the exploit. If the exploit has to do with the hacking the key used to encrypt the bootloader, the assumption that it would work in both versions would rely on another assumption that they are both signed with the same key. Either way, it may prove to be difficult, it it may take so long that nobody will really care anymore because most people will have moved on to a different phone.
I bought mine after owning an S4 Active. A root exploit exists (for now), but the bootloader is still locked after almost a year. Flashing a ROM on that phone involves using Safestrap, which is tedious. I hope you're right, and I hope that someone finds an exploit. I miss being able to simply flash a new ROM using CWM or TWRP.

That's my thoughts. I've been waiting on the s4 active (unlock bootloader) for a yr almost. Lol.

Maybe not the bootloader unlock but at least a root method.
The thing is with the active, many factors are the reason why the bootloader was not unlocked.
1. It was a side version of the popular S4, not too many ppl got that phone since they already had the S4.
2. It was only available on AT&T and wasn't a major release
3. There wasn't a huge bounty like there is for the S5

Upwards of $700 for the phone + whatever charges you incur to SIM unlock. A lot of people don't feel like dishing out that much money upfront...and rightfully so.

You paid $52 because its on contract. Off contract prices are between $550 -700 right now depending on condition, accessories etc... Those are regular prices. Is it a lot of money? Yes. But its the regular price.

Wow still no root

I'm so surprised there's still no root for the ATT s5..im losing hope

Alternative: You can buy a T-Mobile S5, sim unlock and use on AT&T. T-Mo has unlocked bootloader...I did this and it works perfectly.

See people on the Galaxy S4 that are still looking for an exploit. It's highly unlikely bootloader unlock happens. Root is quite the long-shot as well.

I wish there was a more active way to contribute despite having no developer background.
I know I'd be more than willing to do some seriously tedious code checking among other things if i knew it would help the cause.

Root will happen. It's not a matter of if, but when.

The T-Mobile S5 is worth more because of the unlocked bootloader. You can sell the AT&T S5 for about $550 and get a mint T-Mobile S5 for the same price if you're lucky and negotiate on Swappa. Then you'll have to unlock it for about $30. Its all worth it in my opinion.

The thing is the T-Mobile S5 will almost always show a full signal bar. When I had the TMO S5 it would show 4-5 bars with a -100-110 dbm signal. ATT signal is much stronger and therefore it will almost always show five bars with a -90, -80-dbm signal.

I can see your point on this one. If the phone is unlocked then you'd be fine. You would be getting service with AT&T, not T-Mobile or Sprint lol.

What I'm kinda worried about is that the S5 becomes a phone with wasted potential kind of like the Optimus G was due to lack of root

I have never understood the mentality of "just go buy it from another carrier." Some do not have $650 just laying around to make that happen. Another thing I don't seem to understand is all the dislike of subsidiaries. I have been with AT&T for over 10 years and never had an issue. My bill does not seem to be affected when I get an upgrade either, so I don't see the logic of paying full price for a phone from another carrier and remain on another one. It would seem like I am paying more out of pocket that way.
