No internet when I use rebel sim card

Hi friends,
I recently bought a HTC HD2 locked to T Mobile in UK. I used a Rebel sim to unlock it and I am now using it on O2.
However I am not able to start internet, neither can I receive internet settings from O2.
The message that gets displayed tell the phone is pre set to T Mobile internet settings and these cannot be changed
Is there anyway I can bypass these? Anyone else faced same thing before?
Thanks
Metal

settings - menu - all settings - connections - there should be a connection setup option in there.
if not, use this
phoneroms.co.uk/Programs/connectionsetup.cab
instal it, reboot the phone, it will auto run when you restart and configure your phone.

thanks for reply.
Yes I went to that menu option but the only thing I see is TMobile.
I am asked to select country (i select as UK), then I am asked to select operator and only option I have is T - Mobile.
Besides when I click on any browser, I get the T Mobile flash screen and then the browser starts.
I get an error as I am not a T Mobile customer. I have a link for settings there. When I click that it says -
This connection is pre configured. It cannot be modified.

You need to flash the WWE HTC ROM, as the T-Mobile ROM has the internet settings preset and you cannot change them.

hollinshead...
Thanks for the reply. I was guessing so from the little bit of research I have done.
Can you please give me some pointers in that directions...not really handholding but some links or step by step guide ?
I am new to WinMo actually...have been a symbian loyalist till now !
Sorry for sounding lame, but what is WWE?

WWE = World Wide Edition

Thanks.
I tried to d/l it from the HTC site. When I enter the serial no. I get
Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
What are the other options I have? Other reputable links from where I can get it?
Can I d/l any ?
Thanks in advance

you probaly need to install hspl and then flash it

Thanks.
I got hold of a serial no after random searching. I entered that on HTC site and my download is in progress for WWE ROM.
Can I install it? Will that cause any adverse effects?

try using this network connection settings cab.
It appears you didn't try the one samsamuel posted.

It won't let you flash it to your device, it will give you an error.

midnight, samsamuel
That does indeed work and I am now able to use internet on O2 even though I am locked to T Mobile. However I cant receive network settings. With O2 you send active to 2020 and you receive the internet settings. I get a message back that there is a problem and contact customer services. That is not an issue now as I can use the internet.
However I am curious to know if I will be able to upgrade my ROM in the future. I downloaded the WWE ROM but I got 294 Error for invalid vendor when I tried to install
In simplistic terms what is HSPL? is that irreversible? Are there any links for tutorials which make it simple for WinMo beginners.
Sorry but its my first day on HD2 and on WinMobile

Yes I did, but for someone who started using a new phone out of the box just few hours back, its a bit over the head.
I am trying to come to grips on what is HSPL, SPL, flashing, etc.
So I wanted to know if there is any basic tutorial, help pages etc which can be useful for starters. I am a tech guy so I can understand the tech terms but everyone needs a guidance first time around.

Help me i cant send sms text messagess

Please I'm so confused! Im unable to send SMS text messages! I tried to reboot, reflash rom, Flashed stock rom, reflash SPL, reflash Radio!!! NOTHING WORKS!! please i contacted costumer service ( Sim card noobs, GSM hero you know) and they didnt know anything about this ! Please i cant live without sms!

You will need to explain a bit more. What app are using to send the text - the stock one of chomp or handcent? How are the problems showing up? Can you type the SMS and when you try to send it does not go? Or are you not able even to type?

Im using MoDaCo 3.2 ROM with Teknologist 1.91 kernel

[Q] Xperia X8 2.1 SMS Center problem

Hi,
I have problems with the Message Center since I update my Xperia X8 to 2.1 it disapear and I can't configure it. After update mobile asks me to get operator information, but I wrongly press the not button and I don't see that message again -.-
There's no visible configuration menu on the mobile now, but I find this dialing sequence to do that:
1. Open your dialler and dial: *#*#4636#*#*.
2. From the menus which appear, select Phone Information.
3. Scroll down to SMSC.
4. Enter the SMS centre number given by your provider in this box.
5. Select Update.
I tried this, but reports me an "update error" :S
My operator center message number is: +34609090909
I don't know what to do, some sugestion to solve my problem?

Try running the setup guide again.
It should appear in your app drawer, with a magic wand for an icon.

Hey a-k-t-w!
I solved my problem changuing my SIM card for another of the same operator and that runs the setup guide, is the same as yours but more ineficient, then your solution is the right one on this case, thank you

That problem i have to....
And i didn't solve it yet. I'm not very good at english, so something there i didn't catch :S
On 1.6 x8 was able to send message.
On 2.1 it was unable to do it.
Now i root my x8 on 2.2.9 FroyoBread 0.25, and still not effect...
Please help me, i will be so greatfull.
EDIT: I done same step just like magnustor and it didn't work on 2.2.9
P.S Sorry on my english, i now it is terrible
anyway thanks

I have the same problem. I guess the answer lies in old SIM cards that those with the sms centre problem have.

I was right about the old SIM cards. I exchanged my old card with new one, keeping my old number of course.

[Q] Help! Problem with mms with vodafone Italy

Hello, I have a problem with the mms with my operator vodafone Italy, I've tried a lot of thing, I have debranded the lg (becouse it was on AT&T), and I did the manual configuration with MFG, first disabling ADC, then serching manually for xml file in ''set Network Profile'', but nothing seems to work.
when I tap on _Prov_vdf_IT_222_10_eng.xml I receive this answer
''FAILED
setting was failed (access denied or invalid argument)''
I have no more idea how to enable mms.. i've tried alone but nothing work.. i need help^^
thanks u and sry for my english, i'm a really ignorant italian^^

hey same problem here...i'm italian too and can't figure it out how to make mms work with tim italy...get your same error message "failed"...that worries me a lot =( what about trying to contact lg usa customer support? perhaps thay have some tricks or special codes to enable these xml...

Do u speak about the code to unlock the phone? I've brought that to activate the phone for the first time with european carrier, but it don't work.
If u try with the postemobile xml it works.. it would be a problem with the vodafone italy xml.
Beggy have u try with the LG configurator for TIM? The app seems to support it

You can change this settings from the registry using the MFG app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16363034&postcount=3
That worked for me... I also have an AT&T phone but I'm in Mexico so I'm not 100% sure it will work for yours
if you need more help or instructions on how to get to the registry or something else just ask =)

i've already tried with the network configuration app, but it doesn't work...i would try to hard reset the phone and see what happens...because i spoke with TIM customer care and they said that i have to reset the phone, and the first time i will boot the phone will automatically get the right settings for mms...it's sim based as they say, if the first time the phone was booted with an at&t sim, phone would set at&t settings...so if i reset it and boot with my tim sim, it should configure tim settings...dunno but is worth a try

I've tried that, but always the same problem. In addition I can't install the xap, it requires an HTC Phone

using mobile data with international sim card

Hi,
So I'm abroad right now with my unlocked sprint s4. I can use the sim card to call and sms without any problem, but I don't have access to data, eventhough my plan includes it!
also,when going to system update-->uicc unlock, it says:"mobile data not available"....what does it mean? How can I resolve it and define my apn settings???
This is so annoying for such an expensive device and a "world" one!
Please help....
Thanks!

My phone is rooted...the question is: do I have to flash a customized rom over the stock rom in order to gain access to this option? In the stock rom sprint/Samsung eliminated this option, you can't change the apn manually!
I'd really appreciate if you can help or if someone knows if a customized stock (also recommend which one is better) can get/let me access these apn settings.
Thanks!

Hi,
Had the exact same issue and got it fixed ..
here is how..
if your phone is already rooted..
open play store :
Download any APN database (i use HiAPN ) .. install
use titanium back up(PRO) to make that a system app.
if PRO version not available use root explorer to move the .apk to system/data..
Restart Phone.. SU will pop-up allow .. and Voila!!!
First post helping someone .. please do let me know how it goes ..
Thanks & cheer'S:good:

Hi,
I'm going to try it now, but didn't completely understand: Can I do it over the stock sprint rom? I prefer to leave it as is right now, and not add/replace with a customized rom...
Where do I find this apn database? Can I edit it with my local carrier apn settings?
Also, How do I use the titanium backup app to make the apn database to an app?
Isn't the HiAPN an app to begin with?
Also, Do you have the "sprint" s4 as well?
will this work with any apn tweaking program or database?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have another problem and thought you might have encountered it as well and know how to fix: When i'm trying to do a short dial with a "*" before the number , I'm getting this message :"Connection problem or invalid MMi code". Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks again!

I'm on stock rom (sprint), software version L720VPUAMF9, and what other info?
'm just getting this annoying message and can't dial any "quick" dial with a "*" (star) before the number....
What does the "#0011#" do?
I'm really at loss and frustrated with the stock rom of sprint and the strange stuff they/Samsung did with the phone...
Is there a way to fix it without installing some customized ROM?
Thanks!

Hi,
1. I'm afraid to do a factory reset, as it will (most likely) cancel the "unlock" sprint done for us, won't it????
2. What is this USSD/MMI fix app.... just checked it, and it looks like some safety issue, not something that will allow/let me do a "speed dial" with a * before the number
Thanks!

someone?
