Hi, guys.
First of all, please notice that this is not the typical 'Hi, I'm new, could you please explain to me what I didn't want to read in the howto?'.
I've been testing Android on Blackstone since the very first release, where nothing but the UI worked. I managed to make Movistar data work in each distro it was possible, read everything and searched everything, and the matter is this:
Movistar Spain 3G data is not working in most of the android distros. It worked in some pre-XDAndroid releases, and it worked in only one XDAndroid (January 18, I think, but I'm not sure). I'm not the only user with this problem (all Movistar users are affected) and it looks like it's an specific of Movistar.
Some times we complained about this, we were required to provide an adb logcat, but I don't know how to do it... i searched, but found myself unable to 'do that'... as far as I know, any Movistar user did it.
But would like Movistar users to tell their experience here, and try alltogether to get a solution.
Thanks,
At least you read my ADB how to.. right?

I did, but found it too diffucult, or there was something that I didn't understand. I'll try again.
Thanks.
It seems to be the same problem Vodafone NL users have. The only time 3G worked was couple of months ago, with one of TuxHero's builds by entering the apn manually in the startup.txt. With the xandroid releases no one the dutch Vodafone user has managed to make data work...
I have also tried MANY MANY MANY setups on my all the android versions i have tried and havn't been able to get Movistar Spain 3g on any of them since tux's....
It's quite frustrating.......
Anything i can do to help i am 100% willing to test!
same problem here no data with vodafone nl . so vodafone nl and the spain movistar both have the same problem
I´ve tried many setup but no works 3G
Blackroid v0.2
There are a version of Donut 1.6 (Blackroid v0.2), the 3G is ok but is very unstable

I have to admit i have the same issue with Mobistar belgium.
Worked with Tuxhero's build, but none Xandroid runs 3g.

Yes, can be used. But is unstable too
when turn on the telephone, there are errors... but one of them is:
init: cannot find setupmodem.sh, setupmodem disabled
more or less...
Anybody knows this problem? perhaps is the 3G problem...
I have tested the last release (4th feb) wich has some files from nexus one that could fix data problems but still nothing...
I havn't lost hope though!!!
Keep up the amazing work!
I hope too
hmm is somone already know whye this problem is coused ?
anybody did, as far as I know. but it would be nice if an españolito could make and provide the logcat. I wasn"t able to do it...
Please mind some people have this issue with other operators in other countries.
In Belgium, Mobistar for exemple; in Netherlands vodafone ... Seems to be a proxy matter.
Read this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584559&page=114
Thanks, jeanfrederic. Find some interesting things.
First one, Movistar 3G data includes a proxy, but you can override it in winmo with no problem (well, one problem: push mail won't work). BTW, it doesn't work on xdandroid, neither trough the proxy nor without.
Second, Movistar 3G, as VodafoneNL, also worked with tux's android.
I still think that It's something not related to the zimage, but the android itself.
Héééééééééééééééééééééééy, I can now connect to 3G with the new Mcdull build http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622776

Hello -
I just bought an unused t-mobile HTC Hero.
I unlocked it for use on vodaphone.
Everything works fine except that I cannot use the mobile network - although it is apparently enabled in the phone, any attempt to access internet etc fails, saying "this application requires network access".
NB: access is fine using wi-fi.
Support at vodafone suggested a rom upgrade. ROM Download refused by HTC website (upgrade n/a for my phone's S/N, it said)
are the two issues related and how should I resolve them???
S/N (HT98SL903000)
build number: 1.76.110.6146733 CL47212 release keys.
many thanks,
alex
Have you checked the APN settings?
Regards,
Dave
Search for the vodafone ROM on the XDA-DEV Hero Wiki. Or google...
Or, just check youve got vodafones APN settings and not t-mobiles (like foxmeister said)

Thanks for that.
I will follow all of the suggestions.
One point though _ If it needs rom as well as correction of APN - is it worth considering a custom rom instead of getting tangled with vodafone?

Vodafone don't carry the Hero, so there is no Vodafone specific ROM for the Hero.
You've got a T-Mobile branded device with a 1.76 build on it, so my advice would be a MoDaCo ROM, or if you don't want a custom ROM, a generic HTC ROM. If you upgrade to the latest T-Mobile ROM, you'll end up with the "perfect" SPL meaning you'd have to downgrade via a goldcard before you could replace the ROM with something non-T-Mobile.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks again.
I now have internet access having sorted the APN. Much happier now (I got anxious cos the phone I bought in a box from another phone -- bearing the wrong serial number, IMEI etc )
but I'm attracted to the ROM change.
Is there a particular MoDaCo ROm that i should go for that wil allow the usual apps to be run alongside some level of compatibility with outlook and MS word etc?
cheers,
Alex

Well, head to http://hero.modaco.com and have a look. There will be a full version (3.1 IIRC) available free, and a beta of the next one (3.2beta5 IIRC) for paid members.
Try the free one, and if you like it, you might like to donate to Paul to keep him going. Also, that will get you access to his 'kitchen' to make your own custom ROM from the modaco base, but adding and removing things you don't want etc.
But there's really only 1 modaco custom rom (aka MCR), just make sure you get the right one (GSM/CDMA) so GSM for you I reckon.
We are all waiting for our country/operator specific update now that the Android 2.1 update has been officialy released for Nordic countries.
The aim of this thread is to exchange experiences and share news
for those of us who got the X10a hardware version
(850/1900MHz bands for some Australia, North America and Latin America operators)
If somebody with an X10a has already updated, please share if you got it straight from SEUS/PC Companion or by changing to a Nordic 1.6 first, and then updated to Nordic Android 2.1
A "Yes I just got 2.1" is now what we expect:
Please share as much info as possible
(method used to update, tested radio 3G connectivity, locale, operator/carrier, language, etc)
Let the fun begin
[EDIT NOV 04, 2010]
NAM 3G bands: CONFIRMED WORKING
Overwhelming feedback confirms both currently released Android 2.1 firmwares (Nordic and Global) DO WORK for the X10a.
jerpelea suggests Sony Ericcson may have unified the bands because the X10i firmware works on the X10a, 3G and all.
ENGLISH, SPANISH, PORTUGUES languages: CONFIRMED PRESENT
Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824935
Released firmwares tested to date by xda-devs users:
- Nordic region Android 2.1 --> reported OK from many X10a users
- Global international Andoird 2.1 --> reported OK from many X10a users
- Notice: some users (espcially Rogers Canada) are reporting problems with 3G speeds (check next pages of this thread)
Where to obtain instructions and the Android 2.1 update firmware:
- 2.1 firmware "Nordic" and flasher by Bin4ry: (this is the one I used, a nice tutorial by user gfgodoy at post 3): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201
- 2.1 firmware "Global" and flasher by jerpelea: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
- 2.1 firmware "Gobal" and flasher by MarylandCookie: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825675
TIPS:
- Charge your phone, at least 50% prior to updating the firmware
- Extract the flashing tool into a folder in your root directory ("C:\")
- Make sure you put the firmware files into it ("C:\X10Flash-2.1\firmware")
- Make sure you have "SEUS" or "PC Companion" installed and you have connected your phone at least once (for it to install the USB drivers)
- For problems ("unable to open channel", "Exception in *** java", etc) plase check this nice thread by Bin4ry: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823115
THE UPGRADE IS REVERSIBLE:
- If you test Android 2.1 and for some reason want to go back to Android 1.6 please check this thread by SaintyUK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824782

2.1 for x10a can be found in Dev thread. I'd do it but at work blah. Another 9 hours till home
Well, I will wait until TELCEL or Sony Ericsson México says something about the date of the release of the 2.1 update, if they don't say nothing or the date is about a month or later, I will use other methods...
could you please link ??
I can't seem to find a successful attempt
and all of our efforts are fragmentated into many threads
I just installed the X10i 2.1 on my x10a and rooted. It works fine except it occasionally loses 3g connectivity and steps down to the 'H' (I don't know what H means). But even in 'H' data works.
The big difference I noticed was the different apps loaded faster. But overall the system is still sluggish and bringing up the app menu is choppier than before. All the Sony stuff like Dialer, Mediscape, timescape are still choppy.
So I guess you will expect this on the x10a roms too.

Yep it worked flawlessly. The Market that shows up for me is the Canadian one and it even gave me the option to run using English (Canada). So I guess that stuff does not depend on the rom.
You just have to make sure everything you need to flash is installed and running. Most people have problems with java but there is a link in there that tells you how to fix it.
Then I used this to root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824788
Information for default.prop & build.prop
I remember seeing information about changing the Build descriptors on both of theses files - Where you cahnge the values:

ro.product.name=X10_XXXX-XXXX
Mine is running Generic LAM - 1227-4607
What is the build.prop number for Generic North America - Generic NAM???
Thanks for sharing experiences
Will go for it myself and update the front post when double-checked
I'm interested in how it works as well. I own an X10a, but I live in Europe, so I'm wondering if it would matter anyway. The smartest move would probably be to wait, but if it's going to be a matter of weeks instead of days, I may jump on the X10i update methods.
I have debranded X10a and rooted 1.6. I read your tutorial on forum. Just a question is this for X10a? Would my phone change to X10a or x10i? Is there any chance to brick the phone? Does it removes all the apps? And my root? Please let me know thanks

It works great for my X10a from Brazil.
Thanks everyone that made this possible.
Can't wait to give it a shot. Off work in 4 and a half hours and it could come soon enough!! LOL
Does this firmware includes SPANISH language????
Just want to mention that I too have updated my X10a using the methods described above (just follow the directions in post #3 of the 2.1 flashing thread).
I have tested, and root worked (have already restored many of my apps via Titanium and am posting this on my laptop tethered via Barnacle). Market works too, and appears to be displaying the Canadian market for me properly.
Thanks for the info everyone.

Is your 3G connection working fine?
Hello,
Sorry for disturbing but I really need a firmware pack for a prototype X10.
I received it for testing, and it seems someone flashed a generic stock firmware on it.
The result - a beautiful x10 with no network access, it can not register to any network provider.
If anyone has such a firmware, please PM me.

Maybe you need to enter the network setting (aka APN)? If that is not the problem then go here.

no, that is not the case.
Thephone is a prototype, and it can not use the network at all with shiped rom - meaning no voice at all - it acts as if it was in "airplane mode".

Hi again,
I´ve flashed such a prototype (exactly the same type/data as yours) with a DE/CH generic software version (CDF/SI: 1235-7836). Only limitation of the prototype board is that Bluetooth is not implemented and speaker is weak.
Good luck - Nonixnarrez
Is there any way you could give me that specific firmware? I searched for it but i was unable to find it.
Would be most grateful if you could upload the file somewhere and PM me the download link.

The phone still asks for "sim network unlock pin" - the phone is not network locked, being a prototype. The other X10's we received are just fine, this one just refuses to use any sim card.
Any other ideas? I'm running out of them.
Hello Agarthian,
I'm sitting here looking at the lovely X10i prototype that a major-manager at SE gave me some time back. It irritates me hugely not to be able to upgrade it to 2.1 and so I was wondering if this is what You have done/are attempting? If so, have You been successful?

Well my phone, with a higher SI-number than Your's (if that has any relevance to age) was certainly delivered with the 1.6 it is still running. So probably someone has done a manual upgrade of some sort on the phone to get it to 2.1. Have You spoken with SE support? I had a X10 Mini Pro that they actually took pity on and upgraded for me. It probably helped that I live in Stockholm and had an SE lab here close-by... No such service-mindednes this time round, though....

Having the same issue... Have you found anything yet?
Okay, so I bought the Huawei X1 phone, which is a great little phone.
But, it wasn't long before I started to tinker with it, and in the process I lost the stock Telecom rom and ended up having to flash with an Aussie version.
The problem I'm having though, is that nearly all roms I've found so far will not register properly on the network, and as far as I found out, it's because these all came from 900mhz providers and not the 850mhz like XT.
So heres what I would like somone to do f they are keen enough...
Use SuperOneClick to root their phone.
Install RootToolBox.
Flash with recovery-RA-u8160-v2.3 (you may need a file manager like ES file manager)
Power off then on holding both power button and volume up until recovery menu comes up.
Perform a nand backup of boot, system, and data and then...
Please please please upload the files somewhere for me!
Thanks.
Or if anyone has the U8180 Telecom New Zealand rom, can you please upload?
I've tried getting it from wiki.modaco.com Huawei_Firmware_U8180
But none of the links work, or I can't figure out how to get them working.
You've got the wrong forum mate...This forum section is for U8800 - X5 and what you've got is Huawei Ideos X1 - U8180.
Yeah I know, but for some reason I can't find the right forum?
Able to point me in right direction?
You owe me a beer for this

Not really mate, those roms are the reason my phone is now stuck on the 900mhz version baseband and not the 850mhz version like I need for telecom.
I'm desperate for the NZ telecom version!
Ups, sorry mate, wasn't aware that NZ is 850mhz.
Can you not change the baseband in *#*#4636#*#* menu?

You are confused, the baseband has nothing to do with the 3G frequency, you cannot change a frequency because it is in the hardware not software.
My question is: did it worked before the update? (im assuming that you are talking about 3G frequency bands)
Sent from my U8800Pro using XDA App
Oh I guess I am confused?
Yes it did work before the update.
And no I don't see an option to change anything in the menu.
How would I go about repairing this?
Maybe contact Huawei NZ? via http://huaweimobile.co.nz
I tried that yesterday.
Got some angry little asian man who wanted to know how I flashed the phone and was no help at all
Noticed before that the phone model isn't actually U8180, but rather U8180-7...
I'm guessing there may be a hardware change for NZ?
Can anybody point me to more info on basebands and whatnot?
I don't really understand it all, I was under the impression that baseband=operating frequencies?
Why don't you take it back to Telecom shop and see if they can flash it back? I doubt you'll have much luck on this forum as it's for a totally different phone that runs on only 2D and Vodafone in NZ
you'd be fine if the Huawei links weren't broken, all the links I've tried for multiple models are broken. Keep an eye on them they might come right soon.
Flashed it with U8150 firmware for a laugh, going back to shop today :S
hey there -

We have had to twiddle our thumbs,while our counterparts with the e900 have been able to enjoy Internet sharing by flashing Vodaphone ROMS. Well it seems that those of us with the e900H finally have an option as well.
A fellow forum member reported that the Argentinian e900H from the carrier "Personal" has just received the Internet Connection Sharing update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20085347&postcount=166
I may try switching ROMs tonight, if anyone tries before I update this post, please inform us of your results.
Update
As I've mentioned in my last post, I have finally achieved e900h Zen by flashing the Personal ROM, and then installing HeathCliff's WP7 Root Tools.
The Personal ROM brought Internet Sharring capabilities. I was able to enable both internet and MMS using WP7 Root Tools which allowed me to copy my carrier's 3 XML settings files from my original Telus ROM into my Windows directory. I then used the MFG app to choose the XML Carrier settings file.
Sweet I connected my phone today and I got a Zune message about an update so I'm updating the phone right now, the info says: LG Update for Windows Phone, hope I get Internet Sharing!
My carrier is Claro on Puerto Rico.
.... Wohoo! Got my Internet Sharing and Add Wifi networks option. Now, time to meet with iPhone friends and rub the Internet Sharing in their face lol.

I'm still waiting a bit to see if Telus pushes the update so that I do not have to change ROMS.
I have a Telus phone, on a whim I tried CLA-PR as my operator code. It works, and pushes the 7440 mango update BUT since we are using different firmware versions, I did not get pushed a firmware update, and there's no "Internet Sharing" in Settings.
Seems that this shortcut won't work unfortunately.
I'm beginning to have my doubts about Telus releasing an official update. I'd rather not have to flash a ROM - especially a non-english ROM, as I bought into WP7 to get away from flashing.
I had read this article, http://www.wpcentral.com/canada-done-wp7, a while back, but dismissed it as BS speculation. Now I'm reconsidering.
I asked the only other WP7 users on Telus if they've heard anything...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20528489#post20528489

Hope that helps. FYI I finally just broke down and changed ROMS going from Telus to Personal. I've of course got tethering and hidden wifi now

Flashed it to Personal Argentina too. Everything works, EXCEPT MMS. Activated ADC, but it didn't work. Tried to select the carrier XML, but the TELUS carrier file is not included in the ROM. Anyone know how to fix this?

I have the same issue, I have been trying to solve it via registry edits. I'll let you know what I find. Hopefully either registry edits or sideloading the northern America xml network profiles will work.

Is your voice to text or voice to search working? Mine isn't on cellular, but it works on WiFi. It will time out and say "Sorry, we can't access the network right now"
ADDED: Reflashed to TELUS stock ROM. That fixed voice command. Looks like it's more than just MMS that doesn't work on the Personal Argentina ROM. Tried ADC and using ProvXML with a file I made up, no luck in fixing any of the issues so far. Hopefully you have more luck than I do.
ALSO: Is there a way to extract the Telus XML file from \windows\_PROV_TLS_302_220_ENG.xml? If so maybe we can extract it from mine and then transfer it to the Argentina ROM and tell MFG to activate it.
Yes I have the same problem. Also found the battery is draining much faster. My phone seemed to get hot very quickly. Have reflashed back to Telus rom. Will have to live with USB tethering for now.
With the ROM for Personal on my telus phone I having the battery complete drain in 6 hours and the phone was very hot. Also noticed the phone connected to HSDPA (most place get H shown top of screen). Now back with Telus ROM I get 3G as sysmbol everywhere. Did anyone else have the same experince as well?

My hope was that ProvXML would work to fix MMS. It is interesting that it didn't work for you. That being said... voice command and 3G DO WORK for me. I activated them by simply adding the APN information under cellular settings. I still haven't gotten to trying ProvXML, been to busy with the holidays, but if it works for me, I'll report it.
As to the battery issue mentioned, I think I actually get better battery life with the battery lasting a day and a half instead of one day.

Maybe you can try ProvXML too. This is sort of my first time even trying anything like that so maybe I'm just doing it wrong. Hopefully it works (and if it does, please please please let me know... I bought a playbook and I was really hoping to tether it and my plan has 3 GB of data that I don't use... ).

Funny I bought the Playbook as well 249 (for 32 gig). I will look into the ProvXML method. Note in MFG settings under the Set Network Provider I no long have any xml files. I have tried find 302/220 for telus - no luck. Before I did the flash I use to have XML setting files for many carriers.

LOL. You too eh? I've still gotta write my giant complaint email to RIM. I ordered mine NOV 24 and it wasn't delivered until DEC 19... and they shipped it no signature required.....
Yea, the Argentinian ROM doesn't have any XML settings files for Canada. I found a few files for a Argentina carriers (MCC 722 I think) but definitely nothing in there for Canada.
Soooooo Close
Oh so very close now. So very very close, maybe someone can figure out what to change to make it all work.
Okay so I:
Reflashed back to original firmware (LG-E900hAT-02-V10b-302-220-OCT-07-2010+0_DZ)
Set the carrier in registry to ART-AR (so Zune serves up the Argentinian updates)
Let Zune update the phone up through 7740
Chevron and Interop Unlock
Install ProvXML
Followed and used drkfngthdragnlrd's instructions for the Omnia as best I can on an LG http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233612
Do NOT set ADC to enabled, for me it kills voice to text over 3G
I now have the Internet Sharing option in Settings. Turning it on it says there's no connection to share, so I fixed that by setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\CellularConnectionName"=" " [String]
That error went away, now when I try to activate it goes "Connection not shared | There's a problem with the current settings". Read somewhere on here to set the carrier profile to someone else, then set it back. That didn't help so I'm stuck here now.
I feel like I'm soooooooo close, but I'm out of ideas for what to try now. Hopefully someone here knows what to do from here.
ADDED: Can someone with the Argentina ROM installed (sonus maybe?) dig thorugh the registry to see what the settings are? Maybe there is a mismatch between the settings I installed versus whats in the Argentina ROM that's specific to the e900h
What setting do you want to know?, i have a mexican Optimus but i flashed it with the Personal Argentinian rom so maybe I can help

Could you provide me with the PROV XML files for Telus (for you guys) and for AT&T-MCC:310 MNC:410 (for me)?
I am trying to firgure out if is is possible to either sideload or edit the current PROV XML files using the current tools at our disposal. Could you copy them out using Windows Phone Device Manager? They are located in the \Windows\ directory...
\windows\_PROV_TLS_302_220_ENG.xml
and probably
\windows\_PROV_ATT_310_410_ENG.xml
As to your request, I can provide anything you need, however... and this is a big however, unless things have changed since I've been on the Argentina ROM, the Telus ROM does not have the latest firmware and drivers that are necessary for Internet Sharing. This is probably why you are getting errors despite getting 7440 pushed. (i.e. when you updated using the Argentinian Personal ROM you got both a 7440 update and an LG firmware update to allow for Internet connection sharing.
Does anyone with access to the Claro on Puerto Rico ROM for the e900h know if the Nortm American carrier XML files are available on that particular ROM? Since PR is a territory of the United States, it is possible that the ROM contains the XML files for North American carriers. Please report back!
