Interesting. My telus E973 is E97310e, and I wonder if the initial batch of bell phones were the same. Might indicate a slight version bump as part of that misc partition modification.

hey tracky, your telus phone, did you got it unlocked ? I'm planning to buy the Telus optimus G and bring it to koodo, to keep my excellent plan.

Telus phones will work with Koodo without being unlocked.

Install the drivers loaded on the phone itself.
Also, silly question, but you *do* have debugging enabled on the phone correct?
The drivers should install if you switch the connection mode on the phone from charge only to the driver mode (or whatever it's called).

Hey everyone, i have a Rogers E971 and I downloaded the freegee app and unlocked my phone. It unlocked my phone flawlessly. Today I wanted to bring it to the dealership so i wanted to lock it back up and unroot the phone. However, when i press the "restore with backups" button within the app, the app simply crashes every time. Whats going wrong? I checked the phone and the backup files are still in the freegee folder. I'm just wondering, is there a manual way for locking the phone again?
I'm sorry about the crashes, I'll look into it tonight. In the mean time to manually relock, do in adb shell:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/freegee/aboot-Rogers.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/abootNote replace the if=/sdcard with the actual backup location and do the same for recovery and boot also. I've got to run but get on irc if you need further help. Also make sure you reinstall any google apks you deleted.

probably not the response you are looking for but the unlock code is attainable for ~$1.50 online (ebay).. free is always better though
CWM Backups do not work????
So when I first unlocked my phone, the very first thing I did was take a CWM backup. Now, I have done a bunch of things to my phone, and want to go back to stock.. so I try restoring the backup I took on day one, and it says "MD5 sum mismatch". What? These have not been touched at all.
Checking in the backup directory, there are *no* .md5 files present. Are they supposed to be there?
Is there any way to work around this problem so I can restore my backup?
Also.. how come the time for the backups always starts at 1970 ?
EDIT: So I worked around the md5 problem by doing this

Still seems weird to me that this seems broken out of the box.

Pretty sure it was determined that SaskTel piggybacks on Bell, so you guys should be fine. I'm originally from Speedy Creek, btw
EDIT: SaskTel is Bell affiliate: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34593218&postcount=35

I have the Rogers w971 and I messed up and unlocked it with the ATT freegee 0.5 instead of the rogers version. Phone seems to work fine, I dont notice any problem. I am wondering if I created some partitioning problems that will haunt me later. Please advise.
You are fine. I the only difference is the boot.img, and recovery and in those the only significant difference is the kernel. The kernels work fine on any device but each are tuned to the specific device. Like att includes sd card support which everyone else doesn't. In the end you won't notice a difference.

Shelnutt2, thanks. I feel like I got away with one this time
Is it possible for me to use the correct version of freegee 0.5 and "re-unlock" my phone's bootloader again? Maybe the proper kernel would be a gain me a bit more battery (eg. no sd card lookups) or maybe it will save me problems later if I do an over-the-air update- so I get the correct provider software.

Used the LGMobile Support Tool to recover the phone
Guys, download Freegee from market after rooting. The OP's files are for ICS. For JB, you need the newer version which is later in the thread. But go on google play and download the latest. It'll work.

Good and bad news. The bad news is you can't unlock. The good news is you aren't the only one, just first north of the border. We know what the issue is and are working on a proper solution now. The issue is you're misc is different than everybody else's.2
