I bought it just a couple of days ago.

Dec 2nd, 2011 04:59 PM #2Which method did you use? Was it the same firmware as noted above? Did you pay for an unlock or do it via the adb method? Originally Posted by bleuwave

Dec 2nd, 2011 05:32 PM #6I know and the process to unlock seems to be pretty easy but I'm afraid I'll find away to screw it up and get stuck with a bricked phone. Originally Posted by bleuwave

I saw the instructions and agree that you made it super easy but I still prefer not to take any chances.

I modded my koodoo ace last month with cyanomod 7.1 using ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 thats found on xda forums.
heres the way i did it (assuming you already rooted and unlocked the phone using schan's method)
1. format an empty sd card
2. copy the clockwordmod to root of sd card.
3. hold home button(the only button the face of the phone) while holding down power button
4. install zip file > clockworkmod
5. restart. and repeat step 3. you should have a new recovery screen (blue instead of orange)
6. (most important step) Backup your phone so you can flash back to stock in case something goes wrong
7. wipe data/factory reset
8. format sd card
9. copy cyanogenmod to the root of sd card
10. just like step 4, install zip file > cyanogenmod
its been several weeks now since i flashed it. i havent had any problems with it at all. bluetooth/3g works perfectly. I did have to calibrate the batteries tho (which is simply charging the battery until the status says full and going to clockworkmod and clearing battery stats and letting it run without charge until it dies)
Im probably going to flash to Icecream sunday 2 soon. it looks really clean and seems to be much more faster even though cyanogenmod 7.1 is already faster than the stock koodoo rom Reply With Quote

Dec 2nd, 2011 08:24 PM #12i'm having a hard time searching the "00000000" and finding the blacked our area. It seems like my notepad has a lot more random letters and symbols and i can scan through the document horizontally too (you can only scroll vertically on the screenshot). It's making it tough, you experience that? Originally Posted by imknowno

i haven't encountered anything that's distinctly a black bar..just some black dots here and there..
my wordpad opens up microsoft word so i used notepad like in your screenshot
does it hurt to keep trying unlock codes until it's successful (as in finding 8 digits in the text)? Reply With Quote
