I had an hd2 with an Android evo rom which let me use HDSPA speeds with web2go... now that I got the vibrant (without the 30 dollar plan), is it possible to use web2go if I put a custom rom like on my hd2? I obviously know from continous research that its impossible to have it with the stock rom but is it possible to have web2go with a custom rom? thanks.
No. It does not matter what ROM are you running, unlocked or not. They know your IMEI number if that is a T-Mobile model.
Probably, first few hours works with web2go plan, then they'll block. Also you'll receive SMS messages for reminding you to add correct data plan.
Tip it will still work. I've tried myself.

how did you get it to work?
Go to settings then networks and click mobile network. Click apn settings and make sure all the way in the bottom you have mms and internet selected. Then open your browser and it'll work then.

I tried what tge post above said with internet2 and it didnt work... U used that eith a custom rom?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I've used it with every custom rom for the vibrant and it worked every time. Do you get signal at the top of your notification bar with edge showing it's downloading and uploading? There should be a green and red bar blinking if you do.

I'm curious if this still works also. My girlfriend recently lost her phone so I am giving her my old G1. She is coming from a dumbphone she she doesn't use the internet much, will mostly need it for checking email and getting directions.
The internet2 thing works I hear?
Crazy I have those arrows when I try to go to a website... but it redirects me to web2go data update... even when I have those two arrows. Does web2go work for you with a stock rom? If not then what custom rom should I use (that will look the same as the stock I like the stock)

I know TMO is getting very picky on their data plans, and they insist you have a smart phone plan for your Android device, so they may have started blocking some how ..
But there has been announced that $10 200meg data plan for smart phones.
I know access to the market and such only works half assed on my "Windows smartphone" plan when using my HD2 on Android.
its very hard to find a solution for this someone please help me... Crazy25000 you have been the most help till now can you please answer my post before this

You have kind of answered your own question IF you are getting redirected to "web2go data update" , then TMO is telling you that you need to have a smartphone data plan, and most likely your phone has been identified as a smartphone.
Download eugene froyo rom. He has the second revision posted and that's what I'm currently using. It is stock and everything will be familiar to you plus awesome enhancements. Promise

Assuming his boss has the same phone as he does, then we already knew the update was coming.
The Vibrant is a different phone...

And he uses I9000.....
I don't know if any one has found this but the incredible has been able to do it by changing the system software without rooting it. My friend did this and he was able to use the tether on/off switch on the settings menu without ever having to pay the extra amount. Does anyone know of a method like this for the EVO? I believe its called dun hack.
Yep just run the mikfroyo Rom and its already built in.

@Swaze - he says without rooting the phone. Installing a ROM would require rooting.

If you would like a good step by step guide go to WWW.androidforums.com and go to the EVO section then look in the 'All about Root' section. There will be a 'Rooting guide for Dummies' at the very top. Follow this guide and they will help u with any problems or concerns

Thanks for your input all. But my primary goal is to enable wifi for free without rooting the phone at all, just re programming the setting do that using wifi would use my data plan.

He's not rooted cuz all he did was turn on the tether on the phone from the setting menu and I was able to connect my evo on the verizon network. He has actually done this for two months already without verizon knowing our an increase in his bill.
sounds like he's rooted, that's how you do it on a rooted phone. some reason you don't want to root?

I was trying to surprise my wife with a new ROM and I accidentally put the wrong one in and now there's no network service on her GSM Nexus S 4G! I'm trying for hours to get this to work before she wakes up tomorrow and realizes its not working for her meeting. Please if anyone can help...i'll be up all night.
I've tried everything from full wipe to restoring back to GRJ22 ROM/ Pushing the radio via fastboot keeps saying failed. Help please guys.
GSM nexus 4G?
Yes and it's by Samsung. I can't find a radio to flash anywhere. Can you help, please?
Is this on Sprint or AT&T?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
It is on ATT i've searched all over the forums and decided to just post just now.
please read what you are flashing. i dont know anything about the att version so i cant say for sure if the other radios work fine. but for one its not a 4g, so DONT use the 4g stuff. the only 4g version of the nexus s is on sprint.
you need a gsm radio, perhaps try flashing one from teh nexus s forums?
I will try that...are there any you could recommend...like a compilation list?
Anyways...thanks so much for the quick assist. I haven't gotten anything to work yet but i'm going to try to search around the NS section.
I haven't seen any att radios floating around anywhere.
I had similar problem ... thankfully I had backed up efs folder ... if u have try restoring it... and then reboot

If your EFS folder is deleted/invalid you're out of luck, no fix for that.
Besides that, there's no working 3G radio for a Sprint NxS 4G on AT&T, it's technically not possible.

Can send in to Samsung, they might recover it for you (although the identifaction number is non-existant), but double check w/ them first.
guys hes not looking for a sprint gsm radio on atts blah blah blah. he has the i9020a. its att's model, its just a slight mix up on the 4g part.
you may have not lost your efs folder. you may have only just flashed a cdma radio thinking that was your radio. try flashing one of these and see if it works again

First things first. Check your imei and make sure its the same as the one on the back or your phone under the battery. If it is your efs is fine.
After reading the replies to this I am a bit disappointed. Where did he say he even touched his efs and/or his imei was corrupt. All the OP said was he flashed a rom and he no longer has connection. That could be a lot of things.

That doesn't say that he wiped it at all. He's just assuming what you said was the actual problem. And said he didn't back them up. Where did he say his imei was screwed up and how did you begin to assume that was his problem? You should have asked the OP to check his imei before you told him there was no solution.

You seem like the person to ask with as much knowledge as you know about phones and all the work you've created; good grief. I am stuck with Sprint and cant leave until next year without paying ETF; long story short; get terrible service and have airave (only works half the time and have 3 replacements-sprint does not want to address to issue; and me being on a SERO account probably doesn't help either) but someone in a different thread mentioned about a sprint diagnostic tool that you can use to force your phone to Roam verizon towers and get the boot rather quickly from sprint; unfortunately he said it was only for samsung devices; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774503

I didn't know if there was such a tool that could work for the evo shift that you knew of since you work with other devs and know A LOT about A LOT of stuff. I searched google a bit then headed over here of the forums, but couldnt find much in regards to it for my phone. thanks in advance

I thought the PRL would need to be changed to something different; I will give Roam Control a go and keep in Roaming...thanks
No you don't need to change your prl. Also, Several Shift ROMs like newSENSE Supreme Sense and StockMod have roam only as an option built in so you don't have to buy roam control if you don't want too.
