Is this thread still alive?
Hello,
I'm getting ready to try this. I've read the thread and even with your amazing directions, I'm scared. But confident.
I did the check for the eMMC and it's good to go. I got all the files.
Is there still people on this thread I can ask help if I get stuck?
I was having trouble already with getting my phone go connect to my pc and after MUCH searching, I think I may have found the answer. But this particular step in your directions at beginning was barely even mentioned. As if it should be a breeze but it's been anything but lol.
I'm not dumb, I understand how to read and as long as the answers are there, I get them. But a step as simple as hooking up via USB to pc and in directions a dialog box should pop open to select MTP....but it doesn't.
I've enabled dev options on phone, checked usb debug, checked stay awake when charging.... was about to pull out hair when I think I found the answer but I won't know until I test it out at a later time, I'm wore down for now lol.
Btw....I've used Odin before too. I'm not a complete noob. But Verizon blocks ussd dialer codes too. So some of those methods others say to use, don't work for everyone. But I think I FINALLY figured out how to enable MTP on usb. I'll report back but would LOVE LOVE if someone were here to help as well. I'm so sick of VZW telling me the device is not carrier locked when it clearly is.
I REALLY hope once I can gain root access I can unlock the carrier and use my sim. I'm pretty sure this will work but with even the noob guide steps not working for me....lol. ... but I'm VERY determined and I know it can be done (read the success stories here) and I'm willing to go slowly so I don't muck it up. Assuming I can get my phone and pc talking to each other I'll continue on the steps in the guide.
Please help me if you can though this. I'm also polite and can communicate well.
I can not insert my sim into my phone without the "Not a Verizon SIM" message.
I don't care about custom roms or anything. I just want to be able to use mobile data on my phone and I can't because the sim is locked. Despite every VZW rep saying it's unlocked. I know better because I've done much research. And that research has led me to believe that I need to get root to fix my woes.
My current build is 6.0.1

eMMC check is good
