unlocked from t-mobile no internet access on vodafone

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.

[CONFIRMED] --> *** X10A users: Android 2.1 Update works for X10a ***

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.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX
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.

HTC Magic Rogers - unlocked on Bell - update to Froyo

Hello!
I have scoured the internets as much as I can but am having some issues finding a way to update my phone. It was given to me free from a friend.
HTC Magic
Android 2.1
32A
Radio 6.35.x
Rogers Canada
I have unlocked it and have a Bell Canada sim card. I do not have any data plan, as I only use it on WiFi for any data.
I wish to update to the official 2.2 Android, basically just the update Rogers customers would have received back in December when it went live with over-the-air. I tried to hit "check for updates" and got nothing, so I assume it is because I am not on Rogers, and Bell doesnt know my device?
So I Googled hard but found no info on doing a manual/forced update. Started looking around on this forum and found a bunch of useful info, but no solid answer.
Can I do a manual update that Rogers clients would receive? I wish to keep it stock with the HTC Sense like it has now.
If not, what do you suggest? I have looked at the Wiki for the device, looked into rooting, etc. I have all the links and am ready to go about it...
I found this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403, and see the ROM's listed. But which one am I looking for?
05) [xda-ftp] [4shared] 2.17.631.2 Rogers Canada WWE
28) [xda-ftp] [4shared] 3.05.631.7 Rogers Canada WWE
I just don't know the meaning of WWE, or the version numbers.
Thanks much!

If you don't have a data enabled SIM, you can't do this. Well you can, but you'll never be able to sign into your Google Account and hence never be able to use your phone. Can you get a data SIM from a friend or get a one day data pass from Bell?

But I have wifi, I can log into my Google account, download, apps, etc.

No, the first login screen you get to will not allow you to enable wifi so you have to login over your carrier's data.
So, if you do a factory reset or flash a new ROM, the first screen you'll get to will be the activation screen mentioned above. This is true for any stock ROM's for the myTouch/Magic. Most custom ROM's (about every one I've seen) will allow you to enable wifi at that screen or will let you skip the activation to get to the home screen, where you can enable wifi and then sign in.

I see what you are saying, maybe I'll see if one of the IT guys here can lend me their Rogers SIM card for a day. Do you think, if I was on Rogers, I could get the update fast, or do I need to wait potentially days or weeks for it to let me update. Could I hit "check for updates" and it will find it? I understand you probably don't know this, I'm just putting out feelers to where to go next.
If I really have to I will get data package for a month.

Nevermind I guess, I just tried a Rogers card and we could not get an update. After talking to IT and digging around, we found that Rogers has not even released 2.2, it only came out for Vodafone UK. I can't find any info that says it did come out for Rogers, so I assume it did not.

You could always just root.

Rogers does not have OTA (over the air) updates.
You need to go the the HTC website and download the RUU updated exe.
Oh and Rogers doesn't have an official 2.2 they only got the 2.1, so I am not sure what your trying to update to.

i just don't know the meaning of wwe, or the version numbers.
Thanks much!

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:
Data:

APN: orangeinternet

MCC: 234

APN type: default

MMS proxy: 192.168.224.010
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 234
MNC: 33
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?

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.

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.

Internet Sharing/Tethering on the e900H (850/1900 UMTS)

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.

Is right i´m from Argentina and today I receive update with internet sharing and work´s fine!!!!

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

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!
