I currently have GPRS and MMS fully operational using a Virgin network Pay as you go SIM on my M1000. If I have to do a hard reset then I have to manually enter all the connection settings manually.
I know that most network providors have CAB files in the extended ROM which usually set these up, mine used to set up the Orange ones before I upgraded to WM2003SE.
I'm no expert on CAB files so does anyone have an idiots guide to how I can produce one for my GPRS/MMS settings?
resurrected...
Bringing this one back to forefront...
Did anyone manage to do this?
Many thanks
Please see the following link for a suitable CAB file:

I went through the flashing okay. And I was even able to unlock and do everything else including getting a code from MS. But when I get to the step that says run connection set up, it tells me that my carrier is not in the database and then tells me to manually set up my APN.
I know I did everything else okay, but I know I can't edit my HD2 registry settings because of this. And my market and xbox features don't work because of this issue.Please, if anyone has had this experience, or knows why I'm getting a "carrier not in database" when I run HTC Connection set-up. I would greatly appreciate it. I hope I'm not the only one having this issue.
Same problem here. Whats your carrier?
I already tried to add the keys manually using a registry editor. However it didn't work and the phone has locked itself again. Now I cannot even unlock it anymore using chevron (it says no connection) so I cannot launch any registry editor or try something else. Probably I have to flush it again. However what I still really need is a solution to this problem with the carrier.
I have solved the problem. My carrier is a small carrier from austria (bob). It seems that the HTC tool simply doesn't have any data for this carrier (the tool in win mobile 6.5 has known bob...). I used another sim from another austrian carrier (a1), whith this i was able to run the tool and add the registry data!
The Connection Setup didn't work for me too. Just ask your provider for the APN (Access Point Name) the Username and the Password and type it in Settings-network- add APN. Thats all.
For A1 /bob its:
APN: A1.net
User: [email protected]
Password: ppp
Yes, but entering the APN has not been the problem. I wanted to use the Connection Setup to add registry keys according to the WP7 guide. However, I already have solved this by using another sim of another carrier.
@oscar2010 did this work for u too?
Hello,
I need help to fix my mobile data network problem. I installed rom 2.6.8 and everything is working fine except the data network. WiFi is working fine.
Do I need to re-install the rom again and if so then I loose all settings and lot of stuff to be re-installed.
Can anyone help me to restore my data network? Please help.
I don't think you have to re-install everything. you only have to set up an APN.
Go to Settings, under Mobile networks, then choose Access Point Names.
you can see at least the original one provided by your carrier (in my case it was Turkcell internet).
if you can, stay in this screen and press the bottom left button, the menu key.
then you should see a menu bar show up at the bottom of the screen, with 2 choices: "chose your APN" or "Reset to default".
just hit "reset to default", then it will start running and within seconds you can see the APN has changed!
If you want, reboot your phone and coming up again!!!!
I hope that it can be usefull for you..
Regardss..

powerofthink, what I did is manually put all APN data and it worked.
Many thanks for your suggestion.

But this time, you have to use some backup program like Mybackup pro or titanium Backup in order to backup your data and programs.
I do need some serious help. I had to add APN manually on any HWA ICS rom, MIUI, Paranoid Android or Tytung's CM9. and after adding APN manually and rebooting the phone or switching on then off the airplane mode brings on the mobile data. everything was working fine until last three days, no mobile data is coming live. don't know why but it is terribly disturbing. I have tried every possible way to brings back the mobile data, from resetting back to default to installing ROM freshly, all three variants of rom - MIUI latest, Paranoid Android 1.4a and Tytung's version 2.2. But mobile data is not coming on - whether in default APN setting or entering APN manually - no help.
I tried the same SIM on another phone and mobile data works fine, so my operator has no problem at their side.
Can anyone help me to fix it on my HD2. I am really troubled here.
Did you make a fresh install or just installed over your ROM?
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!

i believe you need to root your phone to gain access to the APN to manually connect to the data server

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!

Somebody can help?...

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?

Hi, I'm from London and I got a Sprint S4 from the USA. I unlocked it, rooted it and got the mobile data working thanks to this article:
galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-tutorials/how-to-unlock-sim-on-sprint-galaxy-s4/
To manually edit APN:
Check attachment
Hope it works for you!
EDIT: Nevermind, switched carriers. Mods please delete this thread.
Hello all. Background info:
MetroPCS. I had WiFi calling prior to 8.1 stock while rooted.
The way I did it was to delete all APN settings one by one until the T-Mobile ones appeared and edit one of them.
Problems:
Unable to get WiFi calling to work.
Unable to delete APN "MetroPCS 260 dun"(fields are greyed out and only options are "save" and "discard) (though the others are deletable).
Can't add new APN with appropriate settings because an APN with the MVNO type set to "none" won't save.
Things I've tried:
Updating e911 address via app and MetroPCS customer service 3 times.
Factory reset.
Reflash ROM.
Extract sim and reinsert it.
Meddled with the APN config file and since restored it.
I'm perplexed by this situation since I haven't seen or heard of anyone who can't delete "MetroPCS 260 dun"
Any ideas as to why this is happening and how I may fix it?
Thanks in advance.
