Well, right now I can't do step 15 because my phone goes into bootloader mode after seemingly starting up properly. It shows the red Moto M and then will blink and start the bootloader. I can make it to go stock android recovery by holding x, and have done the wipe data/factory reset as instructed and this keeps happening. The bootloader screen looks perfectly normal except that it keeps invoking itself without any input.
Tried it all again, still no luck Same message as before. I can search for networks, but when I select it I get the message. Any ideas?
After step 14 then you need to bypass the activation before you can go to the setting.
If you still have problems, please repeat ALL steps carefully then you should be OK. (it only take me around 15 mins for ALL steps). Do not skip any step.
after all the steps my droid doesnt into 3g and the wireless doesnt work
any thoughts ???.........
thanx
aveli032,
Seem like you missed a steps that restore the nandroid, I recommened to redo all steps over.
I am one of the (un)lucky owners of a non-unlockable D2G. I was able to use it to make calls with a SIM interposer (i-smartsim), but wasn't able to get data working on the 850Mhz band (900Mhz worked fine on EDGE, with another carrier). After following this how-to, now I get full speed 3G (H+) on my "locked" D2G using i-smartsim!
I know that I shouldn't use data with the interposer, that it will probably burn out, but I just feel better knowing that I can use data now if I need to
Hope this helps, and thank you for the post, key5000!
Ok, if you look up at post 53, there is an alternate method, with fewer steps, if you are looking to get on AT&T or T-Mobile.
If you have already flashed step 11 using RSDlite, you are now ready to use a live linux CD (or USB) to get back on a newer build, while keeping the radio from the older build.
The CD linked in post 53 will flash the current build, which can now be directly rooted, rendering the need for a nandroid backup obsolete.
The CD must be either burned as an image to CD or to a bootable USB using unetbootin, and then boot off of that.
Hope this helps
D2G still needs the sim card slot unlocked
