Here's my problem. I have an 8125 and need to unlock it to use with T-Mobile. Here's the problem - the phone cannot connect via usb, it charges and everything else seems fine but no data connect.
Is there any way I can unlock this phone? Is calling Cingular my last resort?
Thanks for any help.
calling cingular is the last and safest choice so go for it
but their is sites that you go and pay $$$ and they give you the pin to unlock but i have never used them because i just go to my local phone store to unlock phones
Try changing usb ports on the back (or front) of your computer with the sync cable and see if that doesn't correct your problem with no data connect. I am assuming that you are runnung activesync on your computer if you're using xp or whatever vistas version is called if you're using vista.
Cingular should still sim unlock your phone for free though if you call them.
use usb killer to change usb setting and you can use activesync again
use usbkiller to change usb setting and you can use activesync again
file attached
after that you can find tools on forum to unlock your device
Hi
I am missing the original CD that shipped with my AT&T Tilt Package. Would anyone be kind enough to upload the USB Modem drivers available on the CD please.
I have read the Wiki and I have looked over the forums for it, all I could find were the Vista Drivers for the same, but not the XP divers.
Thanks for looking.
do you have the latest version of Microsoft Activesync installed? If not, you should download it from Microsoft.com and it should be ready to sync.
I do not need ActiveSync
Hi
I already have ActiveSync 4.5 installed. HTC USB Modem drivers are different, they allow the kaiser to act as a dial-up modem that we can connect to a laptop computer.
Although we can use the 'Internet sharing option' in Kaiser for the same purpose, I just wanted to experiment with this alternative.
I am sure the drivers are available on the AT&T CD, I just need someone to upload it here.
IntShrUI
Hey, I have a Tilt too. I was messing around using the Tilt as a modem. I have the drivers, but I couldn't get the Tilt to dial right. I found on this forum a program called IntShrUI. It is in the Windows folder of your Tilt. Just run it and follow the onscreen instructions. You don't have to dial anything. Just plug the Tilt into your computer, click connect on the Tilt, and the internet is up. I can give you more info, I am looking for the thread. I can upload the drivers when I get home too if you want to go that route.
Thanks
Your method of connection is good, but I do not have a data plan. I guess it works if you have a data plan or something.
What I am doing is, I am making a voice call over the GSM network to a free dial-up number. The speeds are VERY slow, about 7-8kbps, but it does work.
Oh and if the number we dial isn't free, then we will be charged for the duration of the voice call. I know its low tech, but its free for me and it actually works.
Thanks for replying.
Sorry, I misunderstood. I used to do that too. Just making a data call to my ISP to get the internet. I will attach the drivers from my AT&T CD. The folder is labeled Vista, but I am pretty sure these are what I used and that they work with XP. I will test it when I figure out where my dumb USB cable went.
Thanks again
Thank you for the drivers jeff. After tinkering a lot with the WModem application, I believe that the HTC Kaiser cannot be used as a conventional dial up modem.
The only way to overcome this problem is to use 'Internet sharing' in Kaiser and specify a connection there itself. The only disadvantage here is, we cannot use the dial up services like NetZero that require us to use their custom dialers.
If anyone has a solution to this, please make a suggestion.
Has anyone tried the Vista 32bit driver on XP? Does it work?
Vista drivers do work
Yes, the Vista drivers work under xp. The kaiser is unrecognized as 'HTC USB modem'. However, as I pointed out earlier, the Kaiser does not behave like a conventional dial up modem. Only if you have GPRS, 3G etc. you can use this method.
I'm in the same boat. I couldn't get those drivers to load.
It's unreal that you can't find USB drivers for this phone anywhere on the Internet for XP.

i don't mean to criticize or anything, but you have a $400 phone, unlimited internet for the phone is like $20, why not just do that? or do pda unlimited for $50 and you get unlimited sms too, i just don't get shelling out a full paycheck for a phone and not the extra few bucks to optimize it

I had no problem getting these drivers to work on Vista and XP. All you need to do is launch Internet Sharing while your phone is connected to the PC, and when the driver prompt comes up, point Windows to the folder where you stored the drivers.
Under Windows XP SP3, I do not even get prompted for drivers, everything loads automatically.
XP 8925(tilt) ICS usb driver
I'm trying to get my 8925(tilt) connected for ICS on my girlfriends' parents' computer running XP sp 1 via usb.
It tries installing a 'generic IRNDS' (something like that), but doesnt work. I couldn't find a working driver, even when I extracted the vista drivers to a folder and tried setting it as the driver for the 8925 in the device manager. All to no avail.
Does anyone know where I can find the XP driver for whatever usb device it would be consider for ICS?
i've got all the tethering plan yadda yadda, I just need it to work, the phone is faster w/ 3g than thier ... !dial-up!!!
Needless to say we watch a lot of Jurrasic Park on VHS in full Dolby Stereo at that household. ha, no really, i need some help with this. please holla back.
@explorer82: go to Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections > Add a new modem connection.
Select "Cellular Line" as a modem, input the number, user, pass etc.
Than connect to your computer and activate ICS on your Tilt. This should do it.
@rubicant1982: as mentioned in the 2nd post, you need to install Activesync (free download from Microsoft) to be able to connect to Windows XP.

Hi,
Please can someone talk me through trying to get BB Connect 4 working with the new HTC S730 (Wings)?
I'm trying to move across from a BlackBerry Pearl, so I know my subscription with my operator (Telenor Sweden) is working just fine.
I've tried using BBC 4.0.0.76 and 4.0.0.84 for WM6 Standard.
I enter BBC app on the phone and click Menu > Register Now. Back on the home page the BB status changes from Not Connected > Network Available > Data Tunnel Available > Not Connected. I have no PIN (Pending) and no IP.
I also tried BBC 2.1.2.39 but this just stays at Not Connected. Any idea why this is not working, since BBC 2 is not supposed to be so fussy about checking if the device is supported?
When I try to connect with the BBC Desktop software, it says PIN is "Unknown Type"
So....
I'm guessing the S730 isn't certified by RIM yet and I need to trick BBC 4 into thinking it's running on a supported device.
Please can someone help with the correct steps? Here are some of my questions:
1. I have the S730 Nordic version so I guess the first thing I need to do is dump the ROM from my own device. Am I better off using the grab_it ROM dumper from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945 or using this method http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...x_HowToDumpRom ? I'm struggling so far with the pdocread method as I my device seems to be application locked. I'll post more about this in the S730 ROM thread.
2. Assuming I get the ROM dump, I need to use a Hex Editor to change the GetDeviceInfo from HTC-Wings ( I guess) to a supported device. Can anyone tell me the best device to change this to e.g. HTC-Vox? I've read reports of BBC 4.0 working on the S710 Vox but also people have asked for help hacking it. Which device string should I use?
3. I'm a complete noob when it comes to repacking ROMs and flashing WM devices. Can anyone point me to step-by-step guide to this?
I've tried to read around this subject but I've quickly exceeded my technical comfort zone to put it mildly, so any help with this would be really appreciated!
You carrier needs to support the Blackberry Gateway forwarding. If it does not, from your device, then Blackberry Connect will not work. They literally need to sort of "open ports" on their system.
I tried a Blackberry Connect activation on a Samsung BlackJack II, on AT&T here in the states, with no luck. Same symptoms as you describe.
Read all of the comments here to see what other people have done.
Oh well... get your peoples to enable ActiveSync on your server. Or at least to forward your Email to an outside address.
Good luck,
Matt
I'm not ready to give up on the S730 and BB Connect just yet.
My operator supports BB Connect on Sony Ericsson and Nokia smartphones but say there is no reason why HTC models shouldn't work. I have a colleague with a HTC Tytn II, also with Telenor connecting perfectly with my company BES, so there is some hope.
The hack described in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294218 basically tricks BBC into thinking it's running on a device which is supported by RIM and your operator. That's what I'm trying to do. That's where I was going with my questions.
But I don't know a) how to dump my ROM b) what devicetype value to set and c) how to repack the ROM and reflash the device.
Has anyone else tried the same thing and can help a noob like me?

Not an option for me, unfortunately. My company only support BES and so either I get BBC working or the S730 goes up on ebay. I'm back to using my Pearl until I get this working.
Is there anyone else out there trying to get BlackBerry Connect working on the S730?
also trying for BB connect
I just tried to install three different version yesterday with no success.
4.0.0.76 (wm5 version)
4.0.0.84 (wm6)
4.0.0.91 (wm6)
http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276
They all installed properly but did not generate a PIN number, it was stuck at "PIN pending".
It went thru the same sequence "Network Available" --> "Data Tunnel Available" --> "Not Connected"
have not tried version 2.1 yet will do that shortly
Tried 2.1
update:
Tried 2.1 on the s730, it does not function.
If anyone has anymore ideas please post, and i will try it .
I know this is a separate platform, but perhaps bbconnect for the HTC tilt might work. AT&T have it available here http://www.america.htc.com/mobile/connect/8925/
Has anyone tried emoze as a push solution?
Has anyone found a working BB Client for BB Internet Service for The S730?
I see over the years ... nobody read carefull Threads!
Black Berry is a complicate and secure Application!
How they generate a Pin?
The Device Name, Device OS Version and Build Nr. are for the generation importent. It means ... if your modded os have a wrong OS Version and Build Nr. you doesnt get a Pin and you see every time "Pin pending"
How i can fix this?
Try to use a Original HTC Rom. If you get Pin Pending again ... try to reg edit your Build Nr. If its work, you have the right version Nr.s you need and Build Nr.! Then you can ask you favorit Rom Builder for changing does numbers.
Use Black Berry Connect Clients over 4.0.0.90
If you know the right ids ... publish it!
But where can I get the right rom for my HTC S730 and where can I get a BB client over 4.0.0.90
Original Rom ... www.htc.com -> eMember
Black Berry Client ... netrunnerat.4shared.com -> tools

That's a cool site. Thanks.
Also, did you test this on the S730 with your theory?
It dosn't work. No PIN.
New Ideas ?
your carrier needs to allow your phone to access the Blackberry servers. It's a provisioning thing. Call them and try to get it added... try to convince them just to add it and see what happens, even if you don't have a Blackberry. They might have a special thing... like AT&T's Tilt has the ability to use blackberry connect, so AT&T probably has some special feature for provisioning that enables a non-blackberry phone to be provisioned for blackberry service.
Without this connection allowed by your carrier connecting you to RIM's servers... Blackberry Connect will not work.
Prove me wrong. (seriously, because I want to get this working for myself )
I have the blackberry connect service activated for my s730 but can not get a pin number. I will try different versions, if anyone has anymore ideas please post
Thanks
I have just bought a Tilt and would like to unlock it but I only own Macs. Is there an unlocker that will work with MacIntosh?

VMWARE Fusion is what i used. Im not sure, but you may be able to use Crossover and run the app .
i'd stay away from using a crossover app while attempting to flash and such. What if it gives up the USB connection half way through?
The top two softwares are Vmware's Fusion or Parallels.. I'm using xp installed through fusion and haven't had a single problem flashing/unlocking/spl and installing apps and such.

While I would agree with you there, I would stick to VMware on this one over parallels. Ive tried flashing using XP as well as vista under parallels and for some reason the USB drops out 3/4 way into it during a full rom/radio load.
Granted this hasnt happened every time, but id say it happened to me on my macbook pro at least 3 out of 10 attempts. I since then decided the safest route is to use the MicroSD card to flash things. Once you have the Hard-spl in place, its faster, easier, and much MUCH less risky. I find myself flashing at least 2-3 times a week this way ( also you dont need to have a 50% battery minimum as far as I can tell. I just flashed one with 20% bater and all was fine )
i haven't used parallels since the beta of fusion was released.. but now that you do mention USB dropping connection, i kinda remember that happening a couple times as well... specially with my wizard.
A little off topic but my only problem with fusion is that i've allocated it to use 10GB and its folder is using over 30GB!! this is the second time its happened to me and i end up completely wiping fusion off and reinstalling it along with XP... oh well the gurus at the vmware forum are helping me with that issue.
Unlock with SIM
OK, but if I am reading the FAQ's correctly, the sim unlock can't be done with a microSD, it has to be done over USB (or do I misunderstand).
Thanks
You cant sim unlock via MicroSD. This is because you must first at least flash a HardSPL
if you own no windows systems, I believe the only alternative is via a linux live-cd such as Knoppix/kubuntu/Mandriva. This gets a tad bit more technical in terms of setting the phone to communicate via USB, however you will be able to run tty and flash the hard way.
Either that or Borrow a friends computer to do the initial flash!

I'm using Fusion and can't properly flash. When I connect my Wizard (wrong forum, I know, but it's relevant) while the OS is loaded, Fusion/XP connect just fine and I can use ActiveSync. However, no matter which flash method I use, as soon as the unit goes into boot loader mode, Windows can no longer communicate with it. I get the following error:
"USB Device not Recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."
At that point, whatever flashing utility I use loses the connection and the update fails. If I boot the same partition using BootCamp, it all works fine.

Did you uncheck "Allow USB connection" Under the activesync settings?
You must free up the USB port in order for Kaiser RUU to install.
Also, have you installed a HARD-SPL Yet?

Of course this all predicates on that fact that you do have an Intel Mac and you do have it partitioned to run Windows and of course you do have a registered copy of XP or Vista.
It would be cheaper to buy an unlocked phone than to invest in all this.
You cannot flash or unlock natively with a Mac, I have several. I used Parallels with XP and flashed. The USB connection dropped halfway thru and bricked my phone. After rescuing my phone. That was the last straw for Parallels. It is crap.
I now use Bootcamp and XP and flash all the time without any problems.
Since I work mostly on the Mac side. Missingsync has been great for everyday syncing and file transfers.

How to flash your kaiser using the microSD card
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash
Hope that helps.
hi, i live on toronto, canada and i got an x1 from craigslist for 400$ like 2 weeks ago. i like it but i really want to have one of these custom roms on it. i plan to use the EnergyROM "Phoenix 2" 21877. but i have a few questions first.
i use a pay as you go sim card, and wanted to know if flashing my phone would remove my free incoming text messages, 1cent/min after 8pm calling, and other features that i have activated from my service provider(rogers wireless canada) another thing is that i do not have a data plan, but i can get unlimited wireless web surfing($7 a month), will i be able to use google maps with that, since it is different from a data plan?(currently i can use google maps with my wi-fi)
I already downloaded the custom NRGrom and there are 2 files in the archive. one is the kovsimg.nbh and the other is customRUU.exe (what is that?) . do i need to install any other programs to flash to this rom? i have windows mobile device centre on my pc already.
i read the tutorial ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070) and one of the steps is to run X1_HardSPL.exe
what is that? the rest of the tutorial seems easy enough to me. if anybody would help it will be appreciated, thank you!
Also, any recommendations for ROMs that perform the best would be appreciated!
You'll need to flash hard-SPL before the ROM. That's what the X1_HardSPL.exe is. More instructions on hard-SPL here.
what about the features of my service plan, will they still be okay? do i remove my simcard b4 i do this?

Don't worry on those.
Your service provider didn't make any special configuration in your phone's operating system just to have those "free incoming text messages", etc.. The features and those packages configurations are setuped in your service provider's System.
If you want to upgrade, make sure you HardSPL'ed your x1 first like what @ipporek said..
AND FOR SAFETY AND PRECAUSIONS.
Make sure you removed your SIMCARD and MicroSD card before flashing your phone.
PREPARATION FOR FLASHING YOUR X1
It's not really necessary to to flash your phone by saving .NRG file in MicroSD card. You can do this be connecting your X1 in your computer using USB Cable and Make sure you have Windows Mobile Device Center (sorry, I use Windows 7, probably Vista users using different one?)
HardSPL'ing
once succeeded, you can flash different ROMs in your X1.
CustomRUU.exe
is a program used for installing/flashing ROMs in your X1
.NBH file
Chef's provides .NBH files.. this is an image (ROM) file which contains the cooked operating system. Once downloaded, make sure you renamed it "signed_ruu.nbh".
Make sure SIGNED_RUU.NBH and CustomRUU.exe are located in one folder.
