Issue with Rogers Captivate and Custom ROMs (title edit)

I'm about to save you a lot of time Rogers (Canada) Captivate users.
I spent the last 6 hours using http://serendipityrom.weebly.com/download.html these directions to flash a rom.
Here is what they don't tell you.
This is for the AMERICAN version (AT&T) Captivate only. Yes. You will be able to install the rom on your phone... but the SIM card supplied to you by rogers will not work with this rom.
Also, after following the "excellent" tutorials online and via youtube, you will end up with a phone flashed back to "stock" (At&T) stock... with all their bloatware. AND your startup graphic will now be "AT&T world phone"
Who would have known how good we had it as Rogers customers?
Bottom line. Stay away from Serendipity, and possibly all roms. Launcher pro is better than 90% of them anyway it seems. And you can turn that off in .6 seconds.

I'm currently using Serendipty 5.2 on my Rogers Captivate with no issues what so ever. You're most certainly doing something wrong.

Nice to know. The latest version is 5.7, which I installed. I will not add a clever image showing your folly by responding to my post out of common courtesy.

How about explaining what I did wrong instead of a face palm? I know that's asking alot.
Are you saying the tut online doesn't flash to an ATnT stock? Are you saying I'm stupid? Are you saying your rom works no matter what? Tell me. Educate. Communicate.
At the very least refute my claims.

Do your self a favor and delete your comments. It is still early, not too many have read it yet. You need to read much more and gain a better understanding before you post something like this

It would appear that the statement made by the OP is false, in that the ROM works on various versions of the device.
If you need assistance, make a new thread in Captivate Q&A, without a title directing the issue at one particular ROM (how about something like the new title of this thread?)
Explain what you have tried, what isn't working (exactly), and someone might be so good as to tell you what you did wrong.

Unusual Note

A friend of mine sent me this image, he has had his Note for some time now and only just recently got an update to 4.0.4 .He bought the note without a carrier so there is nothing extra in it.
However, he's never been able to root the thing.
I have used this site before, ages ago with my pocket PC's and more recently for my HTC Sensation.
I replaced my kernal for a 1.5Ghz overclocked version with mikes ics rom and rooted, and the phone has just been awesome. However a few months back when I did some digging for his note I was unable to find anything on it, and now that its updated I thought i'd give it another shot. However im not sure if the information I need is in the image he sent.

oh, blah, How could i of missed that. Ok thankyou
Question, I assume I want the
N7000ZSLPM---4.0.4/12.07.18-N7000OZSLPM
Is this correct? I note there is nothing that matches the Baseband number.
Also, Honk kong or Taiwan? It was purchased in Australia.
I found my HTC less confusing, even though they are more work

14 days for an unlock code?

trying to get an unlock bootloader code for my mate S .... keep gettiing "The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days."
do i really have to wait 2 weeks before i can root my phone?

hey,
i did not have to wait at all.
i followed a guide posted in a german forum where they point out going here first:
http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=list
on the top right you can see "download", click that.
you should see an "unlock bootloader" link. check the pic below to see what i mean:

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
on the following page check the "remember ID" box and click the facebook button leaving everything else empty (you need a facebook account to log on at the following site of course). see the pic!
you should then see an "unlocking agreement". accept it and then enter the data as required in this pic.
upon entering my data there i instantly had the bootloader unlock code on my screen.
try it out, hope it works for you!
greetz,
vercetti.

thanks for the reply, but i still get the same message....."The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days.".....guess ill have to wait a couple of weeks....

unlocking bootloader
I am as well unable to get the unlocked code, kept saying the same message. Do you really have to wait 14 days? Did you get any luck, I see the other post about DC-Unlocker, don't know how to go about it. I had my phone for quite awhile just haven't happen to unlock it yet, however it is already SIM unlocked, just not the bootloader.
***update
So i went ahead and used DC-unlocker; paid the $4.59 for it and was able to get the code and unlocked the bootloader and was able to install a custom recovery, I couldn't wait/stand for Huawei website, it was frustrating me, so buggy and unresponsive.
After all that just search google, "root mate s TWRP recovery", a lot of helpful content out there, that'll explain how.
By the way, I have the model CRR-L00, it was already network unlocked when i bought it and came with google play already installed.
TWRP recovery i used - twrp-2.8.7.0-carrera.img (searched it on google)
root i used- BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503
A complete guide would be here, very straightforward: http://www.android.gs/root-install-twrp-recovery-huawei-mate-s/ It states that it was done on a crr-l09, I've tested on mines it works as well.

Yes I have tried this, all user ids and passwords were incorrect except first one but the credit was not sufficient to get bootloader code.

I'll buy credits.. But I need to ask if this will work for Honor Play on Android Pie or not?

Dont try its wount work

You tried it or just trolling?

Just list of stolen usernames and password, so you will be stealing random users credits.

I bought credit from dc unlocker. Xda is not the place for troll broh. I have even tried to test loint method to bypass. So u know..

I know that dc unlocker is useful tool and i have used it many times my self and probably will use in future too. As a paying customer i don't like to see list of usernames and passwords included on that zip file because someday there might be your or mine usernames and passwords on that list.

So I downloaded it and bought an account just to try it, and installed the required drivers, got the following:
{
"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"
}
Which I'm inclined to believe means it's not supported yet. Any ideas? Maybe I must've done something wrongly.
EDIT:
Just received an email from support confirming this:
"
DC-Unlocker Support <[email protected]> (sent by [email protected])
4:31 PM (11 minutes ago)
to me
Hello, refund now completed since your mobiles android and security version are not compatible for services.
"
So there you go, I think it might work for other devices but not this one right now

Ok, close thread if needed.
I didn't realise that this included stolen credentials.
Thanks all for feedback.

Soft-Bricked A71, need help.

So, I rooted my hand-me-down Samsung A71, and enjoyed learning about the process and experiencing it. Now, here's the problem. I soon found out that it is just not worth it to root this obscure (*Ahem*) phone, and uninstalled Magisk through the Magisk manager. I checked that the phone had indeed unrooted, and then tried to lock the bootloader. I forgot to flash the stock firmware. And now I have a phone boot looping into recovery mode, and just not allowing me to access the OS. When I try to flash stock firmware through Odin, it freezes. ****.
I screwed up. Help. This thing is very dear to me.
I checked for ways to force-flash, and found EDL and QPST. But this method requires the damn firehose/.mbn firmware file for my A175F A71, which I just can't seem to find.
Should I contact Samsung to generously provide me the firmware, or what? Any suggestions highly appreciated.
P.S: Will soon attach a video of it.

Sorry to unintentionally violate. Will take heed.

maybe try unlocking the bootloader again, it worked for my a30s

I can't, and that is precisely the problem. When starting the device, it straight away takes it to recovery mode, and tries to lock the bootloader continously, but just can't because of the firmware. It doesn't let me do anything.

I managed to unbrick my A71! The above attachment is of it. I was such an idiot. Even in such a circumstance, you can go into download mode, and unlock the bootloader. I did so, set up my A71, and enabled Usb Debug and straight away flashed stock firmware, and THEN locked the bootloader. Damn was I scared. Thanks for your help, Ahmed.
