I recently attempted to move from my AT&T Stock ROM, but connectivity problems resulting from using a Cooked ROM had me give up and return to the WM6 stock ROM.
I am wondering if anyone out there has, or could, create a CAB which would basically store the network settings from the AT&T Stock ROM (MEdia Net, wap.cingular, etc), which could then be run on a cooked ROM to duplicate and install those settings?
Is this even possible?

Denco,
Not sure why I would need to read the radio thread again, but thanks for the link. My problem here was not my radio (I had used both the one which Dutty included, and the xx.xx.xx.20 as well), it was the settings built into the Dutty Hybrid ROM. It had MEdia Net for some things, MY ISP (with isp.cingulair set), for others. It may have been the radio which always triggered an internet access even if WiFi was on, or a bug in that ROM. Regardless, what I am looking for here is unrelated to radio; but, again, pushing people over to the Ultimate Radio ROM thread is always a good move
BTW, please note that I loved the Dutty ROM. I think it is fantastic. It even offers to install "AT&T Settings" ... it just then does them wrong (at least for the US) This is in NO WAY a slam on Dutty or his ROM. This is just an unfortuante consequence of using the ROM (even with the offered AT&T Customizations) on AT&T.
Thank you very much for the CAB. Is there any place which explains what it has or does? As mentioned, I would love for it to just hammer back all the AT&T connectivity settings to override "incorrect" settings cooked Roms.
why use a cab when you can use your eyes and read at&t's site on how to set those settings up. when you do it enough you tend to memorize it as well. a lot faster waiting to find a cab
Sigh
dyetheskin,
Thanks for your response, although I am not sure how it helps. However, I will answer you.
Because installing a cab is probably less time consuming that attempting to pound through pages and pages of settings and numbers such as the following (which is probably NOT correct, and certainly does not say where each setting is ... its just an example)

I've used this cab in the past on a WM5 Smartphone and a Treo 750. I think from memory it's off iMate's website. Worked a-ok for me. Much easier than trying to type in the settings (when you can find them).

Not enough info in your original post. You just said " a cooked rom " . Many phone and connectivity problems have to do with people downloading roms with no or incompatible radios. The lack of information sounded like this was the case. Hope at least the cab helps
WIKI
Denco,
I was recently told I should do my part and update the WiKi. I now have TWO cabs from this thread. While I have no idea if they work, I will try to figure out how to update the Wiki with them. I will likely fail
No worries on your message, but I do hope my response did provide an answer. There are just far too many settings to do by hand; much less multiple times on each flash!
Combining a cab with Bengalih's wonderful Sashimi program would allow you to automatically reinstall the real AT&T settings!

BE VERY VERY, VERY specific on how. I really like this Duty rom, but I can't use it if i can't get this.
- - - - - -
Sorry about multiple posts.
I was able to resolve my issue, i think.
What i did was hard reset after getting the Duty Rom. After the connection wizard configured my phone for ATT i went in and changed "ISP GPRS" to use wap.cingular instead of isp.cingular...
IT WORKED.
not sure if it will help others.

Hi everybody,
I had a problem with my WM6 when I tried to surf via GPRS. The connection went fine but the requested pages would not load. After a lot of posting and research I found out that the pocket IE included in the WM6 rom only opens
url's when they start like this:
wsp://www.google.com
This is a real pain in the a** because when you click a search result in google it'll link ya to an http://... site and the problem starts again!
I live in germany and I use the O2 WAP Flatrate and up until the WM6 rom I had no issue.
Does anybody have a fix for this maybe a registry tweak that tells the pocket IE to behave as in the previous rom's?
I know a few of you out there got the same problem and I hope this thread will help us enjoy this great rom because everything else is just perfect for my needs!
Thank you and I am looking forward to your suggestions!

I can assure you that PIE in WM6 opens http:// addresses too. I haven't tried connecting through GPRS, though. Only WiFi.
Maybe it's a DNS problem?
Hi Risidoro,
which WM6 are you using? I use the PDAVIET3 and I had the same issue with
the PDAVIET1.
DNS sounds good but it worked on the previous roms and I use the same settings as before. Maybe there is some registry entry in the PDAVIET causing
this phenomena!?
Thanks for helping!
im using the Original WM6 rom and im not having 1 problem.. maybe is PDAVIET3 rom.. i have been using PIE on Wifi and GPRS and it always connects
I'm using the BigBrother's rom AKA clean wm6 and i've no problem so far. IE works as always...that is: BAD (but at least it opens http)!
The best browser for WM, the real usable one, is Picsel Browser.
It can't be bought online (picsel only sells it to device manufacturers) but... WM6 couldn't be bought too... if you know what i mean
I do use pdaviet3 and have no problem opening http pages with GPRS in IE.

I think you have bad gprs connection settings, as you wrote you can only open through wsp:// it means you are connecting to WAP service where only connection to internet is through APN (Access Point Name) so you have to use wsp (wireless session protocol). I'm assuming you set up your connections using some cab file, don't you? Go to Settings/Connections/Connections/Manage existing connections and check how many connections you have there if it's only one than it's for shure connection through WAP APN and you have to change it to normal internet connection if there are more than one connections check the proper settings for internet instead 'auto pick' if any of this does't work make your own settings as I can see for German O2 you have to only put APN name 'internet' and nothing else no passwd or login. Hope this info helps you

Hi deviusdragger,
tried your help but to no avail. The PDAVIET 3 really has different settings but changing them and rebooting did not really fix the problem.
The keys you are mentioning are only under HKLM did you also change yours there or do you have them under HKCU as well?
Thanks a lot anyway for your help!

Hi shamus,
thank you for your reply! No I do not use a cab I perform the settings manually. There is more to it than entering a APN, here is all I do and how
it is documented in the depths of the german O2 website
modem: CELLULAR LINE GPRS
APN: wap.viaginterkom.de
USER/PASSWORD/DOMAIN: empty
PROXY: 195.182.114.52
HTTP: 195.182.114.52:8080
WAP: 195.182.114.52:9201
SECURE WAP: 195.182.114.52:9203
SOCKS: empty
Only by entering these informations I am surfing on the O2 wap flatrate and
by entering the proxy like this I can surf to http sites as well!!!
And exactly this feature seems to have been taken from me
Well not really as I can enter wsp://... I am still able to surf but using
google and hitting search results gets really anoying cause for every search result I will have to change the url from http to wsp !!!!
So if somebody out there might really have the antidote for my prob I'd
be most happy and if not I´ll consider switching back to Farias rom as this
WM6 stuff is only for evaluation
Thanks for helping!
Hmmm seems it's good lead. When your connection is through proxy server in this case 195.182.114.52 then you have to have all connection setup in "my work network" disable "My ISP" in connections/advanced/select networks by choosing only "My work network" in both fields then setup Proxy server and setup only HTTP proxy remember 8080 port, left all other protocols empty (wap, socks, secure wap). Try if it works, if not than try to setup WAP proxy to 8080 port also. Since browser connects all the time to wap apn in this way you can trick it. Other unusual possibility is your provider stoped to serve http proxy or changed some settings.

Hi shamus,
tried all of your ideas but still it did not resolve this issue! I always choose "My work network" because the ISP does not let me set up the proxy.
My provider still features this service because if I use any of the normal WM5 roms everything works perfectly!
Thanks for helping!

Hey FREIMAURER....we met in another thread......
I had a similar problem...you may have to flash your factory rom just to get your provider network settings. Flash back to your current rom and then use that cab file to set your device up so that your carrier's settings show up in Connections. At this point you can modify the wap address and your proxy settings. This will get you on the internet.
MMS is another beast!
PDAviet3 does not include MMS....you have to install ArcSoft MMS for it to show up on your device. I recommend you install ArcSoft MMS before you install your carrier's settings cab because your carrier settings include MMS configurations but once they are installed...you can not change them. If your MMS works, you're good. If it doesn't, un-install ArcSoft MMS, re-install ArcSoft MMS and manually input your settings.
Sounds like alot of hard work but it's not that bad.
PM me if you need help

I got it too work, no problem. Below are my instructions.
TyTN II Users
Here are the instructions for access MediaNet and Cingular Video, or just about any at&t/Cingular link just like on the Tilt.
It’s really simple to access MediaNet. Even on at&t branded phones you have to switch from My ISP to MediaNet so you can access the MN home page or Cingular video. Here is how you do it.
Go to START, SETTINGS and select CONNECTIONS.
In the connections, select CONNECTIONS Icon.
At the bottom, select ADVANCED tab.
You will see a SELECT NETWORKS option.
Under Network Management, change the first option for MY ISP to MEDIANET.
Now click ok and reselect TASK (bottom left tab). Now your Connections now say MediaNet with a proxy option below it. We need to verify the proxy info is correct.
Select edit my proxy server, then select Advanced. You will see a window with server/proxy info. The first one is HTTP. It should have the following (wireless.cingular.com:80). If it doesn’t, select HTTP and enter the info. Now check SOCKS. It should have (LOCALHOST:1080). Again, enter it if needed.
Now you’re done. You only had to do this one time. When you done with MediaNet, all you do is switch back to MY ISP for normal surfing.
Before you continue, you have to make a change in your registry so that the proxy knows your phone as a branded phone. I choose the Tilt for this.
If you know how to use a registry editor, then look for this entry on you phone.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent]
"CustomBase"="HTC_TyTN_II Mozilla/4.0"
You need to change the CustomBase to HTC-8900/1.2 Mozilla/4.0
This is what is listed for the Tilt
Save your settings and that’s it. By changing that info on my TyTN II, I am now able to access Cingular Video and MediaNet home page. I had to change my connection from My ISP to MediaNet so it would go through the Proxy.
I can now access my account information and a bunch of other areas I wasn't before on my TyTN II.
Cv http://cingularvideo.cingular.com
MN http://device.home
Note: In order to play the videos, you can download a PocketPC version of Real Player since the files are in RM format.
Does your HTTP setting stay?
Whenever I set the http to wireless.cingular.com I can then get to the CV but then after a while the screen says it cannot connect to the internet. I went back to the http setting and learned the http setting to wireless.cingular.com is not there anymore. Looks like it doesn't want to stay there.
I changed my registry to make it think I am using an AT&T Tilt instead of the HTC TyTN II.
Can anyone help?
Got It Working
I only had to do this on my HTC ADVANTAGE...
If you know how to use a registry editor, then look for this entry on you phone.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent]
"CustomBase"="HTC_TyTN_II Mozilla/4.0"
You need to change the CustomBase to HTC-8900/1.2 Mozilla/4.0
MEdia Net Proxy info
I believe that the proxy info for the MEdia Net as ISP is hard coded into the ROM as it was for the Hermes.
So all you would really need to do is revise the "model" info for PIE in the registry to what they said earlier.
Do you need to do something to get RealPlayer to stream the video? I'm able to get to the video pages, but when I try to play them, they download instead (wow, there goes all my RAM!)
I did find that this only works in IE, my Opera browser still gives the error page for Cingular Video.
Read what I posted here. http://www.mobileplanet.com/ft.aspx?k=99281
When you select a video to play, it downloads a video.ram file, which contains nothing but a URL. Real Video opens this video.ram file, reads the internet URL, and then plays the video from that URL.
Note: Each time you select a video from the web site, it'll download and overwrite the last video.ram file you downloaded/saved.
Okay, changing the network settings on RP seems to have fixed it.Thanks for the great guide!

Check your e-mail accounts. POP/IMAP accounts allow you to set the connection they will use. If they don't match "Media Net" and go out to check e-mail, you'll get this error because the mail doesn't think the network's available.
There's also a setting in RealPlayer to specify the network that I had to manually change. Once I did all that, I was watching The Colbert Report clips on my phone.
ha im an idiot i was getting the temp difficluties screen but i was connected to wifi took it off and im fine that was dumb but i just tried a video and got failed to connect! lol well ill see if i did somethign else dumb lol
switched the real player settings to mn and were all good
That fix worked for me! I am able to surf/check e-mail while using the MediaNet connection - is there any real need to switch connections all the time? It seems about as fast as my non-proxy connections, but perhaps it isn't.
i can get the list of videos playingm, but when i click on it to watch it, it says " can not connect" real player......how can i change this
any still having problems with real player here u go
Go to ur tmp-file folder (normally "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp\"
u will find quite a lot of folders in there, but if u search (f3) for files ending with *.cab there will pop one file named:
"realplayer.cab" ^^
copy it to ur ppc by using active sync
this worked for me hope for u too
I have tried all of these things and it still tells me the clip is unplayable.
I just got my Tilt and have been carefully searching and planning my hacs. I'm actually thinking I may just go with some of the HTC hacks versus a new rom but still haven't decided. My question is whether someone could define what bloatware programs are loaded in after a hard reset and the "Customizing device" notification comes up and begins unloading ATTs cabs. The only other post I found refering to them says try the phone without them and see if it's ok, what are they? Basically I'm not worried about their music downloads, etc. I just don't want to download something they install specifically to help with the edge of Hisgh speed services. Thanks.

None of the shareware games/apps get installed as well as default ATT apps/settings. You can always configure the internet and other settings using one of the many cab files floating around here.
As far as core functionality, it's all there if you do the bloatware-removal trick, so you don't have to worry about any extra programs for the high speed connection etc. I did it with mine, after trying the HTC ROM on my Tilt, and to be honest I like the debloated Tilt rom better than the HTC rom. But yeah, the bloatware is most of the demo games in the Games folder, the pay-per-month GPS option (which is apparently decent, but there are free and other alternatives out there that work fine) and just all of the AT&T goofiness. I forget what else was involved with the bloatware, cause it only lasted an hour or so on mine before I was reflashing.
Sounds great, thanks.
I posted all of the programs you get with the standard AT&T ROM before and after bypassing the startup customizations. It is here

My unlocked TyTN II had those setup once the AT&T SIM card was placed in it.
Essential processes for AT&T Tilt Users after each rom flash
I know this has been mentioned thousands of times throughout this forum yet n00bs often need assistance fixing their hardware keyboards, email, HTC weather, quick gps, and so on after they flash a new rom for the first time.
While hanging out in Bansville for a couple of days I realized I have been answering the same questions continuously. This is a mini text tutorial, which offers simple fixes for imperative AT&T settings.
So you installed a version of hardspl, flashed a new rom, and performed a hard reset. What next? Well primarily in all probability, you want to make sure the clock settings are in am and pm format and the date is set to m/d/y. To change your clock settings follow this navigation
Start>settings>system>regional settings>time tab>time style drop down set to h:mm:ss tt
To change your date setting:
Start>settings>system>regional setting>date tab> select the date style of your choosing and select ok.
Next, I like to restore my files such as my appointments, contacts, text messages, etc. I personally prefer to use PimBackup. Below is a .zip file for PPCPimBackup. It is an uncomplicated program to use and a lecture is unnecessary to navigate throughout this application, as it is straightforward.
After I restore my files, it is time to inaugurate the Tilt keyboard fix, which repairs your slide-out QWERTY keys to be mapped correctly. For example, without this fix Fn+W will appear as ! opposed to @. Below is the cab file you need to install to remap the keys appropriately. Following the installation of this cab file, perform a soft reset.
The next thing I usually do is correct my connection settings. First, I install ATT_Settings.cab, which you can find below. Then I navigate to the following:
Start>settings>connections>connections>select the advanced tab>select networks>Change both drop downs to Media Net> select edit on both drop downs>proxy settings tab>uncheck everything for both media nets that you changed>then hit ok or x when you are finished.
At this time, I set up my email. However, remember NOT to save your password, you will do this in the following step. If you are using HTC HOME, most likely you are, select the little envelope and create a new account. You can find your email settings by using google if you are using pop3 or whatever.
Next, after I set up my email without saving the password, I install removehiddenproxy.cab, which you can find below. This cab file is important as it allows your pop3 email account’s password to save without adding extra characters, allows for your quickgps to function properly each time, and it also allows you to use HTC Home Weather without getting a connection failure. So install this cab then go back to the email you just set up, edit the account setup, enter your password, and save it. Now, go back to your today screen and tap your weather tab. Now tap Select City and select your city (*Note there are a few patches available to select your town if you do not live in a big city). Anyhow, notice the menu button where your right softkey is, select menu and turn your temperature scale to Fahrenheit and select done.
I suggest setting up your WiFi at this time too.
Well this is my mini tutorial for a basic setup on your AT&T Tilt after you flash a new rom.
Have Fun Flashing and Take Care.
*Special thanks to the creators of these cab files and JimmyMcgee for teaching me the basics.
Am I missing something too?
Is there something to do regarding getting a reasonable GPS fix after flashing newer 6.1 roms or is it a known problem. I keep flashing down to older 6.0 roms with 1.27.14.09 radio because of the faster GPS fix. I would love to use the newer roms but GPS fix time is a deal breaker for me. To save you some time I use SPL 3.28 with 6.0 roms and 3.56 with 6.1 roms. I bounce between Q-mobile and RomEos roms now that we lost dutty. Ive tried all the newer radios and personally they all stink for GPS. Sorry about your brief ban and welcome back, I need your wisdom
*cough* sticky
AWESOME. I keep saying I need to: Start fresh, get NetCF 3.5, get a light rom. But it all seems so complicated to go from current configuration to start over completely, but this will help a lot! Thanks! Now to find the time and the 'right' ROM.
Thanks very much for the reminders, and for the CABs. I flashed my first 6.1 ROM last night, and forgot all about the hidden proxy!
I agree that this really needs to be a sticky...
This is a good tutorial, but here is a good side note to add.
By removing the hidden proxy (which ya do with the removehiddenproxy cab), Tilt users won't be able to get to media net (http://device.home or http://home) or cingular video as the hidden proxy is needed for those.
Then they should just use the Restore Proxy, and that will allow MEdiaNet.
Proxy Manager has both in it.

Did you try 1.71.09.01 ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410953
Been having the same issue and finally I think got a break. Tried about 10 SR's and the lock times are steady inside the house.
BTW using DK2
does windows mobile have a localhost file like windows? would remapping those to their needed servers allow the bypassing of the proxy?

Nice tutorial
I downloaded your PPCPimBackup zip file but when I attempted to open it I received the following prompt: "The central directory was not located . . ." etc.
Thanks for the post BTW. Very helpful and informative.

you were unable to open the zip file? I'll check it out and reupload it if necessary.
edit: works ok here my friend. Unzip the file to your desktop and move it to your storage card then run the program hopefully it works for you.

I deserved the brief ban.
Anyhow, I noticed that when running 6.1 roms with the Tilt you need an application such as HTC GPS Tool or GPS Test, to open your internal gps, prior to opening your GPS Software.
These are the steps I use to utilize a GPS Fix after each soft reset:
1) download latest updates for quickgps
2) Open GPS Tool>com 4>baud 4800>Hot Start>Then click Open and wait like 30 seconds
3) Open TT7
*If you fail to get a fix after following these steps close all programs and repeat. Eventually you should be getting fixes within seconds.
I've attached GPS Tool for you, good luck.
What exactly does the remove hidden proxy cab do on AT&T Tilts? If you go into your connection settings and uncheck the proxy server- is that the same thing or something different than the cab file does?
Hey Red,
I attached an ATT settings cab which does not enable the proxy by default, and also enableds creation mode in MMS settings. I thought it might be helpful for your thread here. Also, it may seem too advanced for beginners, but i have a thread started here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418468
This has a step by step guide to how to create an xml file using Schap's Advanced Config 3.0, which can be used to provision all of your advanced config preferences during your UC setup. This tool has really made it very easy to do reduce the amount of work that goes into flashing.
I also attached a cab for total commander, a free, more full featured file explorer; gps test, another gps tool; and advanced config 3.0. Hope it helps.
Thanks... this is a great thread!!!

I'd really like to know this too!
Why would anyone ever want the proxy checked? Does it do something for you to have it checked?

It removes a HIDDEN proxy, one that you can't remove without a cab. Without it enabled you can't connect to medianet home, and some other things. Most users like to disable it for a myriad of reasons, one of which is that it causes you to be unable to browse while connected to your laptop.
The box that you check in connections is a separate issue, and i think that is actually just old settings, i'm not sure, since even on the AT&T website it tells you no not to have that checked.

Awesome. So, if I run the cab and remove the hidden proxy- can I then tether my laptop (connect to the net using the Tilt's data)- without getting caught by AT&T? Or is there more to tethering without getting caught?
I have searched this forum (maybe I have missed something)
Does not matter what ROM I put on the X1, when I set the proxy settings (for my work connection) they do not seem to "stick".
I saw someone mentioning a registry fix, but I cannot seem to see it.
Also if someone could make a cab the sets the keyboard language to value 1035, I would be very glad, I have a swedish keyboard on my X1, but I prefer the WWE roms.
wrong forum dude
-does this happen on official ROMs?
-did you connect the device to activesync or WMDC? normally the proxy settings get copied from the PC to the PPC
- try to use "wifi profiles" app to create several profiles with the correct proxy settings. you can now create a shortcut to activate the wifi and change to the correct profile with a single click
cheers
Thanks for looking
Not sure how this is the wrong place though as is it pertains to only cooked roms on the X1.
I am using Vista WMDC, but I will explore the profiles you where talking abount.
Essentially I am connected via USB, I have forced the PC side to use Work as the connection and I am either creating a new connection or using the work connectino then configuring the settings.
Once I set the proxy address, and I exit, it's wiped clean from that profile.
"wifi profiles" is a software http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wifi-profiles-v0-0-2.html
also see if you can cange the proxy from Opera (opera:config) . i used to have an addtional opera mobile application just to access the internet from work without changing the profile.
Thanks, I will download it today and check.
My problem is that I want the wather and other internet based tabs in Manila to work and opera proxy would not settle this.
/J
i had a lot of proxy issues with a lot of non official builds found in most cooked roms. so see if you get this problem with an official rom

I'll try, it's jus that the Stick X1 (or even the X2 rom) sux. this is why I am putting cooked roms on it in the 1st place
I just read somewhere someone hinting that there may be a simple Registry fix to make the settings stick.
It's funny, I can go in and out of the connections settings (under work, 1st set my proxy 2nd edit my proxy) and it's all there UNTIL i go to the weather tab and try to refresh the status.
Then if I go back it's cleared
