sdmde If you want help writing it up, I can help

      Wow! That's huge. Does that mean someone can filter it himself and have the same level protection as TAG?

        Techgen It is a modded os if i had xp3 i can probably do it

            sdmde Oh, ok. The os of the xp3 is very similar to the xp5, so I'm sure you can do it if you had it.

                      To Kasher the Sonim XP5 Verizon ONLY, you need to flash the system image. This is a different process than just removing the browser app. It will fully rewrite the OS of the phone with a new kosher, browserless operating system. Since this is a process
                      Here are the steps:
                      1) First you need to Enable USB debugging:
                      Dial ##2387##
                      then go to developers options, find USB debugging, and turn it ON

                      2) Once you have control over the device from adb, use the command:
                      adb reboot bootloader
                      which will restart the device. You should see the bootloader menu appear after a few minutes.

                      3) Now your device is ready, you just need to get the image files. Download the files [Login to see the link] , and extract them all to the platform-tools folder. (root directory, no subfolders)
                      4) Once its all copied you can run these commands:
                      adb reboot bootloader
                      fastboot flash boot
                      fastboot reboot-bootloader
                      fastboot format system
                      fastboot flash recovery
                      fastboot flash system
                      fastboot flash splash
                      fastboot reboot
                      after a few minutes your phone should boot up, with your new, kosher operating system. Thanks [Login to see the link] for writing this.

                        Any other instructions?

                        sdmde how does having a certain carrier effect the filterablity of the phone?

                            Reifam it does not just since the rom is based of verizon it wont work on any other one you will get band errors

                                sdmde Thanks! Are there plans to make custom Roms for other services and xp3 AT&T and Sprint? And although it can't be factory reset, can this be undone by flashing back the original Rom?

                                    Techgen if it’s reset it’s still kosher. I don’t have the roms or the phones if you can get me one or the other i can do it. ya if someone had the rom with the browser they can reflash it i believe i can stop that but it’s risky and any taged phone can also be reflash ed
