Hi everyone,
Hope this is the right place to ask this. I recently rooted my mytouch 3g with cyanogen's mod 4.0.4 and then applied a hero theme on top. Everything works great, but my 3g and edge data have stopped working. I have the H symbol running at the top, but whenever I use the browser or internet related functions(gmail app), I got redirected to the m.web2go.com page from t-mobile asking me to get a data plan. Now it says that there are too many redirects and the web page won't load at all. I checked my APN settings and they matched the T-mobile US ones, so I'm stumped on what to do next. Any ideas? Help would be much appreciated.
Call Tmobile and make sure everything is alright on there end.
THanks for the help, called up t-mobile and got it all straightened out. New question though, completely unrelated. I decided to sell the mytouch, and I'm wondering how I remove its association with my email address without undoing the root. Any ideas? Thanks again for the help so far

unrooting wouldn't do this.
just wipe data, re-flash any rom you choose and you're good to go.
for those who may be interested...it is possible to have your hero flashed to work on the Cricket network. it may not be for everyone, but i couldn't resist the lure of $40/mo unlimited everything with no contract. (saves around $1,000+ over the life of the contract)
here's what i did:
-buy cdma hero on ebay
-go to a cricket store and ask them to activate the phone
-usually the rep will "know a guy" who can work with htc (try a few stores or call around)
-they may charge you $30 or so to flash it and its working
wireless data, visual voicemail, and mms dont' work...but they expect to get them working soon (phone is only a few weeks old at this point)... and where i'm at, i almost always have wifi and don't care about vm or mms.
Might see if any of these guys know about xda...perhaps they just need to be pointed here to share the wealth of what they're doing.
HTC Hero Phone Code Numbers ##
if you do transfer to cricket (or perhaps another cdma carrier), a good thing to know is:
##000000#
this will allow you to edit or view EPST (change/view your Mobile Directory Number MDN and MSID)
The MDN is your current phone number, your local cricket store can give you your MSID (which also depends on your phone number).

Not so far away
I´m in Mexico, and I have a Hero woking here with data. So far it´s 1x, but I only worked on it for about 3 hours. After this long weekend (we have monday off here) I´ll get to work on it to make Ev work.
Don´t lose heart It´ll get there.

The radio is separate from the OS and the traditional CDMA tools work on the Hero like any other phone. There are plenty of other forums talking about how to port CDMA phones to other providers; especially Indian forums because there are large CDMA networks there.
Edit: when he says "flash it," he probably just means to put a new PRL (preferred roaming list) and editing the details under ##DATA to match what another provider wants.

"Broadband Workaround Trick"
Hey guys!
I'm new to the Hero (CDMA Sprint flashed to Cricket) and Android. Totally new. I'm no stranger to Windows Mobile though, I've been a pretty intense user and contributor to development on the Axim x51v. Thought it was time to update though, and here I am.
Now, I've googled my butt off (which is going to make it tough to poop later, for sure), and I just can't find much detail or step by step info on how to get internet access working on this thing other than Wifi.
I have phone/text, and I also bought a Cricket Broadband plan to go along with it.
My phone is not rooted, not unlocked, unless this was part of what they did at the Cricket store to get my Hero flashed to Cricket.
I've read some mentions in google searches about a way to use my Broadband service through my phone... but I need some step by step info on how to do this. Can anyone help? What would be handy, as a somewhat savvy noob, would be prerequisites, instructions, and info I'll need to do this.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help, and I apologize in advance if I didn't google well enough before asking... although I definitely gave it a damn good shot before asking for help!
I've never tried it, so i don't know, but i have flashed a lot of WM phones to cricket with working mms and WAP. I would think you could get the internet to work by entering first changing your msl to 000000 and then just entering in all the correct settings in your EPST like you would a windows mobile phone?
cricket wap on hero
the phone has built in proxy support so u can download anycut from the market and input "wap.mycricket.com" and "8080" in the proxy settings. however most of the internet apps dont work, but the browser does. i believe the broadband hack or possibly the html plan will help in getting the internet apps to work but havent tried yet
htc hero wap no working
.i have a sprint htc hero that had cellular south on it now its flashed to cricket.the only thing working is calling.can you walk me through getting internet.i belive my wap setting are set up,but when i try and connect to mobile network it says "standbye for connecting to mobile network then connecting and keeps repeating"i have read that iv got to root the phone.iv been trying to root with no success.and hepl please .ty
htc hero cricket
please help dont want to try anything till im shure .lol
its actually possible. my friend works for cricket and got a sprint branded touch pro working. he just has voice and mms. but its a start i guess. i needs my data lol.
so why would you want a hero that only half the features work on?
i have an htc hero...i live in laredo tx..if anyone knows how i can flash this cell phone to cricket please let me know..they have told me that they dont have the software to do so..please HELP ME!!! *TeAr* and where did u guyz flash it so i can go overthere if i cant do to here....

Hello all! Its 'That Guy' Again
I recently bought a new HTC Vogue because my old one had *crud*crap*Stuff* on the screen. I called into Sprint customer service as always when swapping.
Everything seems to be fine. The phone is working. Texting is a-ok.. Data is a no-go.
This new Vogue ahs not been *modded*Tweaked*Flashed* (yet)
However when I launch an app to activate the provisioning feature, nothing happens. It dials the usual #777 and proceeds with the 'provisioning data services" msg. But after that it just disappears.
I dont not get a reply back or anything. If I try to refresh the browser to loop through it once more it just does the same thing over and over. Provisioning-----Then nothing
After 2 hours with customer service at Sprint we have gone through just about everything we could think of.. Still nothing.. The phone is practically brand new! Is there something im missing here? Maybe a bug in a certain version of the stock rom?
My old vogue provisioned fine previously and after I flashed to Froyo it was pure bliss.. However this phone will not take the data onnection O-o
If there is anything I can do/attempt to do id be forever greatful! And ill gladly donate my old Vogue to anyone who can use the parts.. It looks like super glue or something in a 3cm patch on the touch screen.. It still recognizes touch on ALL parts of the matrix, it just doesnt look pretty. The shell is kinda scuffed but over the phone works perfect =) This was one phone I didnt want to (ORD) to death.. Thanks in advance to anyone who gives insight on the issue!
Are you running on the most recent Vogue stock rom? which is 6.1
Yes =) Im running the Stock 6.1 Pro from from the HTC website

I am not certain of what the Sprint rep asked you to do, but I have a feeling that your issue lies in the EPST programming. You are likely missing username and/or passwords under the Connections section in EPST. Give it a go and let me know what happens. If you need instructions, let me know as well...
I would be glad to take your old Vogue off your hands if you are serious about giving it away.
Sorry for the lateness! I did discover that she(the rep) had seriously messed up the epst settings in the phone, however after recovery still no data. Its almost as if the phone hates it lol. Eitherway in that case its not as useful as it could be. Ill really only bought the second one because it was new and i wanted the screen to be scratchless I dont mind sending you my old Vogue especially since youre already on the east coast lol ill log in again when i get back to the office and we can swap details.
Thanks again for you help!

There really are 3 or four things on EPST that you need to modify to get the device working properly (in most cases anyways): MIN, MDN, Username, Password, and maybe a couple of others to get better performance out of your connection (cycle, priority, etc). If you flash to stock, why don't you try to do *228 to do automatic provisioning?
Let me know when you want me to give you the shipping details for your Vogue. Thanks.
Only thing that pops in to my mind is that maybe you bought the phone off of eBay? Was it a "Sprint" branded phone, or like an Alltel or something that you activated on Sprint? I would imagine flashing the Sprint ROM from the HTC website would handle everything, but just as a shot in the dark, you could try to install the Carrier CAB (http://winbreak.com/winmo/voguegoodies) for Sprint.
NuAngel
@egzthunder1 Go 'head and pm the info m8! Sorry for the delay again im just hardly at this location anymore.
@NuAngel I actually bought the phone new from some rich guy on craigslist. It was flawless and my vogue had the previously mentioned "crap" on the screen.
It is branded Sprint and they activated the phone just fine as far text and phone. They are saying the data is active however no matter what rom/radio i use it wont access the data network. With WinMo it always says provisioning data but it never happens.. the browser goes idle. if i try to access any data apps it tries to provision but never seems to finish the job.. Android rom same deal just no provision of course. And as you know the Stock Sprint rom has also been flashed with no success of accessing data. Everything else works fine and i have the same service with my current vogue which works perfectly everytime.
If the data issue cant be resolved it will always make an awesome test device.. However, while I cant dig up anyone else having the issue, someone is bound to..

PM sent. Thanks a lot!
Whatever is causing this, after reading your explanation, now I am positive is in the EPST programming parameters. Android builds here have APNs for Sprint in there out of the box (no provisioning required). But to connect, it looks at the PST programming (just like WM does). I would try to speak with someone else at Sprint and see if they tell you something else. There aren't too many things that should be modified in there for the internet to work...
I had to switch from TMobile to At&t for work reasons. I got the Samsung Focus on At&t and I love it, but I flashed Android on my HD2 hoping that I would have the best of both worlds: a WP7 and an Android phone equivalent to the Inspire 4G.
The good news is that when I put my At&t SIM Card on my HD2, it registers and says At&t, and the data works fine (EDGE, but nothing is perfect, i knew that 3G was not going to work because of the different frequencies At&t and TMobile use), the bad news is that I'm not able to make or receive calls or texts.
Anyone has any idea how to make the HD2 with Android work on At&T?
Please ignore the part of my sig where it says that i'm running windows mobile, although i'm willing to flash it if that is the solution, but i want to play with Android for a while.
Any help will be appreciated!
Cheers!
You will have to unlock the phone. Call T_Mobile and they can generate a unlock code for you.
My phone is unlocked... any other ideas?
Did you go to Settings/Mobile Networks/Network Operators/Search Networks and choose AT&T as your carrier? In the same menu, you can Select Automatically so that you don't have to manually choose which carrier is available in your area.
AT&T is the only carrier that shows up whether i select it manually or automatically.

That's strange. Seeing your moniker and knowing you were on T-Mobile, it should also show up. Since your phone is unlocked like mine, I used to be on AT&T and would see both carriers when I did a search of the airwaves. Did you check your APN settings so that they are set up for AT&T?
Here's the link to the ATT APN thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692059
Hope this works for you.

Nothing worked, so I flashed windows mobile and now everything works fine (except 3g, of course). I guess it is something with Android. I'm sure someone will figure it out...
Thanks for the help, though.
try a different rom. might be the rom you're using... try an unofficial cyanogenmod7 rom and flash with cwm.
Same Problem
I have the same problem with my HD2. It's been flashed to gingerbread 2.3.6 and unlocked. I can get data, but I can't make calls or send texts. I'm wondering if you fixed yours! If so, I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out
I didn't notice this before but I'm able to send SMS and receive them just not MMS - today a friend sent a pic and I could not open it. Carrier is Verizon not sure if that matters because I'm seeing others have the same issue with other carriers.
Messenger or google messenger doesn't download them either.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks
.
Any problems with MMS. no matter what phone or rom, always ALWAYS triple check your APN. A phone call to Verizon will verify if you have the correct APN and make sure there isn't problems on their end.

& remember that Verizon "thinks" it is Roaming (although not), so insure you have your MMS settings set appropriately

OK so... I had to factory reset my phone and right away had issues... tried to send a text message and it didn't work. So I went through the steps of setting the APN up. But it hasn't worked.
I've done the whole thing with using a GSM sim to get the + and add APN...but nothing.
Anyhow, I was hoping someone can tell me the latest APN settings for Verizon. Perhaps they have changed. I'm just getting really cheesed off with all of this and nothing seems to be working. I love this phone but this is just getting on my nerves now.
Please help thanks

These are the APN values I'm using on Verizon postpaid: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68263623&postcount=61

I'm using pre paid will that make a difference?
I was having a bad day yesterday. Im in the right mind to get this fixed now.

Should be the same values for Verizon Prepaid (different if you're on a Verizon MVNO). Did you make sure to enable Data Roaming?
