[Q] Tmobile Modem 3G & Calling

---

Hello i installed the roto modem switcher and i need help to keep it from going to the tmobile.com site on 3g.
i know someone said that i might have to delete the efs folder so that redirected in the browser to my.t-mobile. Please help..

omgomgomgogmogmomgomg how many times am I going to see this question god dammit! Nobody here will be able to help you with that outside of a PM. The instructions were here at one point but they have been removed due to the illegality of the process.

I dont understand how it is illegal? Aren't we allowed to alter our phones in anyways we want since it is our property? Its not messing with anyone else, its just allowing us to use what we are paying for.


PM me and I will explain how to stop it from redirecting.

Maybe you need to remove the tab from your ass and learn some manners.

Or you could pull your mouse out of your ass and learn to click on the search feature. This question has come up more times than the honeycomb issue. I just ran a search...ONE search

http://www.google.com/cse?q=tmobile+...&ie=ISO-8859-1

And the answer was in the FIRST result.

* EDIT * - Looking over your OP I see now that you even used the term redirect AND you knew about the EFS folder so please please please use the search feature next time

Some people here were mentioning that to change your IMEI is actually illegal in some countries. I am not sure which countries this applies to.

In the US, according to a recent ruling, for the next two years you can modify your phone any way you like. The legality issue is regarding the iphone only, because you need to use pirated software to do the jailbreak. Not so for android. Just back upyour efs folder, then delete the original files, and you no longer go to the redirect site.

I agree, the amount of repeated questions is growing. People are losing patience with the lazy who don't try very much. It's taking a toll - I don't see a few prominent developers here anymore. Do your homework! Chances are, since you're getting to the game late, those new guy questions have already been answered.

Perhaps someone needs to read a contract on cell phone service. I am sure that it contains language prohibiting user to alter its identification on the network. IMEI is very similar to MAC assigned to every Ethernet network device. It allows to avoid clones on the network.
The cell phone number and IMEI are both identification codes but used in different layers of communication.
My guess that if number of clones would exceed tolerance level of some carrier it will introduce extra filtering and enforcement. Not sure that somebody would win in that case.

I have no contract to read so you guys can post all the help you want. The most amazing thing happened to me. I bought tmobile tab on amazon with no contract.

Thank you rangercaptain for saying something useful.

I haven't had a contract for years either.

The court ruled on something called fair use saying people can unlock a phone for any network, remove any restriction to add any apps from any source, on any network they please.

I have an unlimited data plan and t-mobile is creating a software limitation that keeps me from using what I paid for. BY LAW I am permitted to modify my phone so I get what I paid for.
