I did this the other day and it worked great. I entered the apn data you put in the thread but it didnt work. I looked up my at&t APN settings and when I went to enter them everything is now blocked again and I cant seem to get it blocked again. I rooted it to see if I could factory reset but Im not finding how to get into my recovery. any suggestions?

Press home,volume down and power simultaneously when the phone is off. After "power ed by android" show up, release the button.

add prefix country number

Thanks bro, your tips helps me a lot. It solved my internet issue but now i have encounter another problem. Whenever i try to make a call the 'operator' keeps telling me 'the number you called is incomplete'. Got any solution bro?
Thanks in advance...
if you get that you need to add the world pre numer like +32 for a belgium number...

its strange somethimes it accept numbers without the prefix somethimes not :p

Is there anyone from Europe who managed to get this right with both LTE and plain GSM functions(SMS and Calls) working? I live in Greece and thinking about buying a Brigadier from E-Bay.

9. To download TWRP-recovery to your phone, enter the command
fastboot boot twrp_kyocera_e6782_v004.img
11. Now you can update your phone by selecting the firmware restoration from backup, and specify a folder
which it was unzipped my backup.
ive tried to install this recovery but cant access it . keeps tellin me unauthorized install or something ..seems bootloader is locked can u help?

@1arker As I told you in other thread, it's supposed to boot TWRP not to flash it....
Now you have to flash boot.img again from fastboot. Search the xda or 4pda.ru forum for boot.img partitions

@Obsy today i managed to get rid of annoying unrecognized sim icon , here is how i did it :
extract SystemUI.apk using root explorer you can find it at this path :
system/priv-app ,go to /res/drawable-xhdpi/k_i_stat_sys_sim_unrecog.png
from the menu choose + new select file and rename it to the above .png name and replace it in the folder
zip the extracted apk and change .zip to .apk and replace SystemUI.apk with the old one.... and done no more sim logo again @Obsy please put it in your thread at the first page so everyone can see it ...

Great! Thanks so much, now data is fine.
I an in NZ, with 2Degrees mobile.
Phone worked for voice, but no data. (phone is version 1.102)

2 minor problems:

1) kyocera drivers have extension .MAN , need to rename to .MSI
2)Initially the usb debugging permission prompt on the phone was hidden behind some other app or something, so the ADB wasn't connecting.

So I am left with 2 issues:
- powerup FUD message: "This Sim Card is from an Unknown Source"
The fix is supposed to be to freeze the setup wizard, but I have done that from debloater, and I still get the message.

2) Can't do phone update. I suspect I need to get a verizon SIM card to do the update

Hi.
Worked for me. Mobile data is working fine in Latvia, Europe.
Is there a way to upgrade android to 6.0? Because it originally has 4.2.

Thanks.

There is no Marshmallow for Brigadier... only Lollipop 5.1. U can update thru Verizon Software Update/Repair Assistant - Kyocera or take a look on 4pda.ru. Be careful because u can loose all the data, so make backup first. Cheers!

Hello,
after i used the european version of the Kyocera Brigadier (Torque KC-S701) for about 2 years, i have bought a new one from the USA (mentioned to be unlocked, Verizon-branded) because of the battery that become weak now.
A Kyocera Brigadier.
I will follow the instructions from Obsy to change the apn-settings.

By reading the instruction, i found the following sentence:
"I checked all Amazon, Nhl, all Verizon except VZWService (it will mess the programmable button and every time you open the phone it will ask for program it)"

What does it mean with "Amazon, Nhl, all Verizon" (except the VZW)?
These are apk (or apps) that are not usefull and they can/should be deleted or blocked with DEBLOATER?

Thanks for your time to answers (i hope i got one )

Kind Regards
Heiko
