I tried it and managed to resurrect several blackberry bold 9780 phones. Let me know if it works for you.</p><p>1) Turn on the phone and wait for several minutes until it fully boots up.<br />2) Press the lock button + button P + lower right corner of the screen simultaneously.<br />3) It may require to do #2 several times in order for it to work. </p><p>The reason being is that the LCD connector may be loose. The connector/cable is directly beneath the p key. By pressing the key and lower<br />right corner of the screen, it helps to align them. Pressing the unlock button is just to reset/turn on the screen to see if it fixes the white screen.</p><p>Good luck and leave a comment whether this works for you!</p>Huanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06326498257124035759noreply@blogger.com90tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211124928997293541.post-2341350088858006902013-01-05T20:44:00.001-08:002013-01-05T20:44:34.010-08:00How to bypass Samsung Galaxy S3 Verizon activation screen<p>The following is a guide for you to get past the Samsung Galaxy S III Verizon activation screen without an active Verizon sim card.<br />If you do not have a Verizon sim card in the phone, the activation screen will be stuck when you press the next button.

There are several ways to do so such as calling AT&T customer care, emailing AT&T customer service. But I found the method below is most convenient to do so.</p><ul><li>Find out the imei of the iphone in General -> Settings -> About.</li><li>Go to the <a href="https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/termsAndCondition">AT&T link</a> and fill out the unlock request form. You do not necessarily need to be AT&T customer. unless you are current or previous customer of AT&T, you will need to email AT&T a copy of the purchase receipt.</li><li>AT&T will email you instructions to unlock the form in several days.</li><li>Check the lock status of the iPhone <a href="http://iunlocker.net/check_imei.php">here</a> or <a href="http://www.s-url.ro/">here</a> to verify that the phone is unlocked.</li></ul><p>Sometimes AT&T will send you an email indicating the phone cannot be unlocked, it is because that the iphone may have been reported lost or stolen. AT&T no longer requires the contract commitments on the phone to be fulfilled, however. </p><p>Were you able to unlock your phone successfully?

Sometimes a factory reset does not fix the issue with the phone. You will then need to perform a restore to stock ROM to fully recover it. Or if your phone is bricked during flashing, restoring to stock ROM may also fix the issue. I have personally tried the below steps and it worked for me. </p><ul><li>Make sure <a href="http://hotfile.com/dl/142068729/1adcd94/HTCDriver3.0.0.008.rar.html">HTC USB driver</a> is installed on your PC</li><li>Download<a href="http://www.shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Pyramid&file=RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed.exe">HTC Sensation 4G T-Mobile stock rom</a> on your desktop</li><li>Connect the phone through USB port. Run the RUU file and follow its step to update the HTC phone.</li><li>If you run into error 155 during the process, do not exit the program. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\(User name)\Local Settings\Temp and find a folder created several minutes ago with a name starts with "{". There should be a large file (about 370MB) called rom.zip in its subdirectory. Copy it to desktop and rename it to PG58IMG.zip</li><li>Connect the HTC Sensation phone through USB port. Turn on USB mass storage mode. copy the PG58IMG.zip file to the phone's sd card root directory</li><li>Reboot the phone into hboot by restarting the phone while holding down volume down button and power button.</li><li>hboot menu will prompt you on whether you would like to start update. Choose Yes by pressing volume up button.</li><li>Sit back and wait for the process to finish. Phone may reboot itself during the process. It will indicate "Update Complete... Press Power to reboot" once it's done. Now press power button to reboot</li><li>Congratuations, now you just flashed the phone to stock ROM (Android version 2.3.3) </li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>Note:</strong></p><p>Here's a list of other error codes from RUU restore and possible resolutions:</p><p><strong>Error 110 (File Open Error)</strong>: This error message indicates that the RUU lacks some specific files or they are damaged, so the RUU cannot continue with the update. You have to get the complete RUU package and try again.</p><p><strong>Error 120 (Main Battery Power)</strong>: This error message will appear when the Android phone’s battery power is not sufficient (Batter power should be more than 30%). Although RUU will instruct you to plug in the AC adapter, it will still need to make sure that your Android phone has enough power to complete the update. (The Android phone cannot charge the battery when it is connected to the PC while installing the RUU).</p><p><strong>Error 130 (Model ID Error):</strong><br /><strong> Error 131 (Customer ID Error):</strong><br /> One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the update. The RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the Android phone. Make sure you use the correct RUU to update.</p><p><strong>Error 140 (Bootloader Version Error):</strong><br /> The rom update utility cannot update your android phone. Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again.<br /> You will get this error if you're installing an older/differently branded firmware to what your phone's bootloader identifies itself as. It refuses to downgrade. You need to first downgrade the firmware, change bootloader.</p><p><strong>Error 155-159 (Image Error):</strong><br /> One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again.<br /> Alternatively (in some cases) right click on the file and choose "Run as Administrator".<br /> Or use the rom.zip -> PG58IMG.zip flashing method.</p><p><strong>Error 170 (USB Connection Error):</strong><br /> This error message will appear when the Android phone is not correctly connected to the host PC. It might be a USB connection problem or a PC USB driver problem. Make sure the Android phone is connected to the host PC correctly and/or check if the PC driver matches the Android phone. </p><p> </p><p>Leave a comment if it works for you!</p>Huanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06326498257124035759noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211124928997293541.post-72568823262292542822012-08-04T14:44:00.000-07:002012-08-04T14:44:00.674-07:00How to check if HTC Sensation 4G is rooted<p>Method 1:</p><ul><li>Download Root Checker from MarketPlace</li><li>Run Root Checker.

Here's what you can do to remove it. I've tried the steps below and it worked for me.</p><p>Option #1:</p><ul><li>Download and install BlackBerry Desktop Manager from <a href="https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22">here</a></li><li>Go to Start -> Run -> Type cmd</li><li>Go to the apploader folder by typing the following in the cmd console.<br /><em>cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Apploader <br /></em>or <br /><em>cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\Apploader </em> (64 bit windows) </li><li>Type loader.exe /resettofactory</li><li>If your blackberry is password protected, you will be prompted for password. If you forget the password, you may simply try incorrectly for 10 times and the blackberry will then wipe itself out. </li></ul><p>It will work most of the time with option #1. But if it happens that it does not work, you may try the following. I have had some luck</p><p>with that as well.</p><p>Option #2:</p><ul><li>Download and install BlackBerry Desktop Manager from <a href="https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22">here</a></li><li>Download the <a href="http://www.gsmliberty.net/motounlock/policy.bin">policy</a> file and save it to <em><span class="normal">C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry</span></em></li><li>Go to Start -> Run -> Type regedit</li><li>Navigate to <span class="normal"><em>HKEY_Current_Users\Software\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\PolicyManager. </em>Right-Click the<em> Policy Manager</em> and create a new string value named <em>Path</em>. Set its value to </span><em>C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\policy.bin</em></li><li>Go to Options -> Security and choose Security Wipe on the device </li><li>Start BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect the blackberry to PC</li></ul><p> </p><p>You can verify on the blackberry's Option -> Security menu that its IT Policy should be empty.</p><p> </p><p>Did it work for you? Do you know any easier way to do this?

That is, iPhones that are either not currently in contract or bought out of contract. All you need to do is to call AT&T and provide the imei number of the phone. An email will be sent to you once it's unlocked. </p><p>Here are the steps:</p><ol><li>Find out the imei number of the phone (Settings -> General -> About)</li><li>Call AT&T customer service line (611 or 800-331-0500), Start an<a href="https://www.att.com/olam/passthroughAction.myworld?actionType=tech"> online chat</a> with AT&T customer service rep or <a href="mailto:icare3@amcustomercare.att-mail.com">email</a> AT&T customer service directly.</li><li>AT&T rep will obtain phone's imei from you and ask for your email address.</li><li>You will receive an email once phone's unlocked. It typically takes couple days to a week. </li><li>Once you receive the unlock email from AT&T, connect the phone to itunes and restore it with latest firmware. Once the restore is complete, itunes will show a message indicating the phone is offically unlocked.</li></ol><p> </p><p>Notes:</p><ol><li>Reports have shown that you do not need to have an AT&T account in order request unlock from AT&T. You can even call from overseas.</li><li>All iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G can be unlocked this way. However, we have not seen AT&T unlock any iPhone 4S as of yet. </li><li>Any user can unlock up to 5 iphones per account.</li></ol><p> </p><p>Are you able to unlock your iPhone 4? Please leave a comment on your AT&T iPhone unlock experience. </p>Huanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06326498257124035759noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211124928997293541.post-86791974449320232592012-04-13T09:04:00.000-07:002012-04-17T18:34:01.237-07:00How to unlock Samsung Galaxy S2 T-Mobile T989 with Z3X Box<p>The following is a guide to unlock the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II with Z3X box.
