HTC Hero Orange Branded. - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hey i was hoping you guys could give me some help with my hero. I bought it only a month ago and its orange uk branded. Im in Ireland and on the 3 network. When i got my phone i thought things were working fine, i could send texts and make and receive calls, and connected to the internet through WiFi. However when i purchased a 1gb mobile internet add on for my phone i noticed things were not working too well.
My phone wont pick up any 3g signal and keeps roaming onto another network, im assuming vodafone ireland. I also cant receive or send mms messages. All the APN settings and MMS settings are correct and in place. Initially i thought it might be the fact that its an orange phone that it wasn't working so i flashed it to mocados rom but still no luck. Im at my wits end trying to solve this issue.
any ideas or suggestions would be very welcomed.
Im new to all this but here are the details i can find about my phone:
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 63.18.55.06u_6.35.04.25
Kernel version: 2.6.27-mck-teknologist-1.9 [email protected]
Build number: MoDaCo Custom Rom 3.0 Core, SSH password: ......
Software version: 1.0.0.a6288
Hope these are anyway useful

what settings did you use?
3 uk (not sure if ireland has the same settings) just needs the apn name: three.co.uk and it works.

Gaijins help!! X01HT Softbank email/mms settings

Hi!!
First of all, thanks to all you guys for the great work!! Especially to MrVanx and Alcibiade for the excellent and up to date upgrade/conversion guides!!
I'm a total newbie to the Windows mobile scene.
I'm in Japan and running LVSW WM6 on my X01HT. After the flash to WM6 LVSW rom I could make/reveive phone calls and get online via WIFI without any issue, but I could'nt (still can't) send and receive emails or mms via Softbank AP (HSDPA?). After some searching I found a Softbank AP patch here <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298031> and applied it. Now I can not get online via WIFI either. I still can receive mms sesseges from other Softbank users (I guess) but I cant reply to them as the system displays an error messege stating that the server cant be found. I plan to reflash my phone with Dutty's WM6 rom right after I finish writing this cry for help. So I should be able to get at least WIFI working after that. But still puzzled with what I need to do to get online via Softbank?? and how do I setup my Softbank email account ([email protected]) and MMS?? I'm cut off from the world for the past two weeks and would really appreciate if someone can help. Thanks a lot!.

The internet access via Softbank AP and sending and receiving MMS are 2 different things.
It seems you have some "corruption" experienced after trying to implement the Softbank AP settings. I recommend to reflash the latest WM6 ROM you have and then apply the Softbank settings again - by the letter as described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298031
It works 100%, I have done it with various WM6 ROMs, and it always worked.
If you have it running, let me know, and I will send you the patch for MMS.
Thanks a lot 'Chainbolt'.
Finally I was able to find the time to re-flash my phone last night. Now I am running LVSW WM6 3.3+SPL V2.1 (super fast!). Soonafter I applied the SoftBank AP settings patch and this time it was a success!! Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction.
Now all I need is to be able to send and receive email from my Softbank email account. How do I go about this?? I guess this is where I need the patch you are kind enough to share with me?? Thanks in advance..
PS: If you are anywhere near Otemachi/Marunouchi I owe you a beer!

Help! Cannot setup automatic internet

I used to have that problem, the Auto Internet setting was grayed out. So, I de-brand my X10i phone to UK Generic, and it solves the problem...

Do you know if the SEUS debrand method where you replace the two files still works? Could you post a link to the download where you got the generic UK please?
Roaming
I know it's the obvious choice and you have probably checked but when roaming is disabled you can't use the internet settings away from your local network.
I'd check this initially... after that I'm stuck

You need to contact your network and manually enter the APN details etc in case any are wrong .
Saud product code may block the market .

You also may wish to look around for a South African CSC file. Check with your service provider there or check out any South African Android websites and ask for help. Odds are once you slap the right CSC file on there, it will take care of all the connection issues. From what I can tell, the one you have installed now (jpjg9) is almost certainly Saudi specific.

Motorola Atrix UK Orange thread

Upgraded to an Atrix (from an HTC Hero) on Orange UK on 13th May, and can't see much UK specific information on the XDA forums, so thought I'd start this thread. Suggest it's a good place to put any info specific to the Orange UK Atrix.
First off:
Mine came locked to Orange, but there's no Orange branding on the phone case, and the box was standard Motorola box with no Orange branding.
From the About Phone menu:
System version: Version.4.1.31.MB860.Orange.en.GB
Model number: MB860
Firmware version: 2.2.2
Baseband version: N_01.86.00R
Motorola webtop version: OSHWT_U1_6.34.0
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 30 15:19:50 CST 2011
Build number: OLYEM_U4_1.3.1
When I "check for updates" there's nothing available.
Update: The stock Orange UK .sbf file can be found here: http://modmymobile.com/forums/4085921-post44.html (thanks to @daywalker04 for this!)
Mirror: http://www.zshare.net/download/90896176a55b65ba/ (thanks to @nitrox1 for the mirror)

SBF MD5 - 9E4C775B15D1B7DC38D0CF94C35C7DF5
Please check your MD5, there is nothing worse than a bricked phone.
Update: The stock Orange UK Webdock APK files have been posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14541437&postcount=799 - useful if you try the webtop without a dock hack and it doesn't work
Update: There's now a Modaco forum, which could be a good place to discuss general UK Atrix specific stuff: http://android.modaco.com/category/527/motorola-atrix-atrix-modaco-com/
Update: Great guides to updating to root, unlock and flash GingerBread (2.3.4) on the UK Atrix here and here
Any other info I could provide that's useful? And anything any other Orange UK Atrix owners want to share?
im on orange also upgraded on release of it i followed the tuts on here to root with gingerbreak via sdcard etc and install cwm boot recovery along with flashing to gingerblur 3.1 everything was pretty smooth however i made a full back up before starting any of it
i agree with u there isnt much on here regarding uk phones yet
If you are using grey/gingerblur this might be handy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13838602&postcount=5 works for me and means you dont need to enable roaming to get data working properly
Also here are the APN settings for orange:

MMS proxy: 192.168.224.010
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 234

APN type: mms
I've just got the Mobile Hotspot working on my non-rooted device on Orange UK. Followed the instructions here: http://androidforums.com/motorola-atrix-4g/332960-here-come-brits.html#post2681704
Basically:
Go to Settings-> Wireless&Networks-> Mobile Networks-> Access point names-> Orange UK 33-> Change the APN type from "default" to "default,tether". Reboot a few times then try the Mobile Hotspot App. I had WiFi off and had to manually turn it on before it would work the first time.
Such a shame, again another wonderful company, customizing a perfectly fine system just so that its a 12month wait for updates again.... GRRRRRR. So tired of this now, If you wait for updates from Orange, you will have a new phone before they issue the update. I mean really? 4.1.31 on UK Orange.... 4.1.83 in the states, exactly how many updates are we behind????
What's everyone's experiences with updates and the pseudo-roms? It looks possible to update to 1.8.3 following the instructions here. Has anyone tried this on an Orange phone in the UK? And if you don't update to 1.8.3, do the pseudo-roms work OK?

You could make a dump of your own phone. Not tried this myself, but instructions are at http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-backup-your-android-phones-boot-recovery-and-system-partition-images/

I took the leap and am running gingerblur 3.5 on my Orange Atrix, seems to work fine after a couple of bootloops during installation.
Would be nice to have the option to flash back though...
Is this phone only being released on Orange? What kind of branding comes on the phone software? Does it boot up/shut down with a nice Orange logo? Is there Orange crap installed in the phone?

Did you update to any of the US ROMs first (1.8.3), or just install gingerblur over the top of the Orange stock?

I think Orange had the exclusive for the first month, but I've heard it's coming out on other networks soon. Mine had no external Orange branding, and no boot up branding, etc. Only thing that shows its an Orange phone is the sim lock to Orange, and an Orange app (Your Orange account management). Other than that, and the slightly back level ROM, it appears to be the same as the US phones.

I dont believe that backup will work as the Atrix has more partitions than that. (Ubuntu and Android and recovery)
hmmm how do the dev's create these SBF files for us to use? Like the french one?

Just went straight from out the box UK stock, with hindsight I think I was quite lucky it worked.
Get mine tomorrow.
After coming from a desire with a fully rooted exploited bootloader, I'm sure it will a big change.
Any of you unlocked your phone from orange? Any recommendations?
Also Paul O'Brien at modaco said he'd open us up page for us brits.
Desire is the source of all suffering.

i imagine you was on OLYEM_U4_1.3.1 when you tried gingerblur?

Rooting the Atrix
I rooted my Orange UK Atrix successfully yesterday, which has allowed me to install Titanium Backup and a teathering app that works better than the stock app! I followed the instructions here: http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root
One issue is that the process wiped the internal phone storage, so I lost settings for CoPilot, SwiftKey, Kindle, etc. Luckily I didn't have any important data on there, but make sure you backup your storage before you root.
a copy of the orange sbf isnt available and probably wont be so if you dont want to void your warrenty dont flash.
those version numbers arent necessarily comparable, i believe they are carrier specific.
for orange users your better off flashing the 2.1.1 french sbf as the others are for at&t handsets whereas the french one is completely unbranded.
you can install the p-roms over 2.1.1 no problem, there is a whole guide on how to but you HAVE to do a factory reset after or you will "soft brick"/get stuck in a bootloop and have to reflash.

[Q] Carrier specific GS4 kitkat offical roms

Hi, I had unrooted my i9505 and updated to kitkat (02 version). I am actually on the Tesco network and I thought that is what Tesco used. The rom seems fine, along with the network in general but I cannot use any mobile data networks. Does anyone know if this is because of the wrong rom or could this be a different error?
I have searched the forum and internet for a few hours but found nothing related to Tesco GS4 roms! : I used the 02 4.3 one from here and then update via keys to 4.4.2 -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Thanks!
Tesco and o2 share the same network, but they probably have different access point settings. if you go to the tescomobile website or call support they should be able to send you some settings to ensure you have the right APN?
Are you connected to TESCO (it says TESCO in the carrier label when you pull down notifications?) Just also check that in "settings/more networks/mobile networks/access point names" that it relates to tesco and not to o2?

Started to work through these settings, forgot to try the APN. In a little bit of a pickle at the moment as I tried to flash an unbranded rom via odin and now cant boot the phone..Need to fix with kies it says but its not appearing. Think the APN was the problem when the phone (hopefully) starts working again.
Thanks!
Fingers Crossed. You should be able to use the unbranded ROM though. The only difference should be the preinstalled apps and maybe some backgrounds/branding on the boot logo etc?
