I just messed up my rooted G1 about some hours ago trying to install the HTC Hero theme cos apparently I updated to JF US instead of ADP.
So I went to factory reset it. But apparently, T-Mobile's got this new thing going on. If you factory reset it, T-Mobile wipes all the APN's from your phone and won't allow you to add new ones, thus rendering your phone service-less. (You get stuck in the android/googleaccount login screen with no way of signing on since you have no service. I fixed it by using the Camera+Power button to update my DREAIMG.img back to RC29, which evidently has every single APN.)
Luckily, I somehow got onto the home screen with ONE SINGLE APN, I get into the wireless settings and try to add new APN's, but everytime I save a new APN, it doesn't actually save; it gets deleted.
So the problem is, I'm stuck with one APN;Edge and I can't add more.
I've tried re-rooting but without using factory reset (Alt+W in recovery startup) and just skipping straight to installing update.zip, you'd get stuck at the flashing ANDROID screen.
So you see my problem? I'm currently connected to Wi-Fi since I'm home and was lucky enough to have that one single APN (which took me almost 30 minutes to sign in with due to it being Edge) but I'm going to need more then Edge once I leave any reliable Wi-Fi zone.
I read somewhere on xda that someone found the apn file/list, I'm not sure where it was but it was definitely there and he code-boxed it. Would taking that file/list and pushing it into my G1 recover my APN's or wouldn't it?
If it would, can anyone try and upload a copy onto rapidshare or the similar, please?
Thank you.
There's a lot of builds right now that allow you to skip google sign in. The APN list is located in Dream General. it's a sticky Try CM3.6.1 it allows you to skip google sign in. Skip it and then modify your APN's according to the APN List in dream general. See if that helps
i bought a used g1 no physical problems took it into a shop and they couldnt find anything wrong with it internally so im guessing its a software issue....dont know if this guy i bought it from tried to mess with root and messed something up but im thinking its some sort of software stuff....can anyone PLEASE help!?!?!?!?! i either get this phone fixed or keep using my nokia that seems like its from 1998 and its killing me!!!!!!
What are the stats of the phone? You can check the versions in the settings\about phone area. Model #, Firmware version, Baseband version, kernel version and build number information would be helpful.
Is it already rooted? If not, you may want to go ahead and start reading up on the root process. Some of the newer builds may or may not help the issue. But if it isn't rooted and you arent getting a signal, it very well may be a network issue. Also, does your phone service have a data plan? Has the phone gone through and passed all of the sign-in procedure? (being from another country, I am not sure what all you have to do to activate your phone) Sim card good?
thats the problem i did a factory reset to input my gmail info and now i cant get past the damn activation screen! ive been through all the customer support through tmo and cant figure anything out!!! im goin crazy
also ive found this webpage http://developer.htc.com/adp.html that has recovery, system and radio images from htc and every time i try one of them it comes up and says no signature or no verification.......not sure what to do

you cant apply those because your phone is not rooted. learn what your doing without randomly flashing everything that can killed your phone. and yes, you can kill your phone permanently flashing the wrong **** (i.e radio/spl)
Latest problem; it seems my phone isn't reading the simcard. I was having issues with bootlooping after installing safestrap but now I have no service but wifi. I repeatedly tried adding my APN info manually and tried APN manager. No luck. I tried to enable "simlock" and that is when i realized it wasn't reading the simcard. Card works fine in my Backflip and my g/f's month old simcard doesn't work in my phone.
A few weeks ago when I was out in the sticks, I had sketchy service but still usually a bar. Once in a while I would get "emergency service" only, I thought that was strange because I had a bar or two but got this status. Perhaps this was an early stage of the problem..
Anyone have their phone stop reading cards? I am thinking about sending it back for warranty service.
BTW, any suggestions on what to wipe before sending it back for service? I was going to remove root and get rid of safestrap.
Thanks again smart people.
A full SBF should remove everything and make it good as new and ready to be returned (I think..) If you need instructions on how to SBF your Droid 3, they are located... here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255198
Try your SIM cards after SBFing to see if it was perhaps faulty hardware...
(An SBF is basically a factory restore on steroids, kills and restores EVERYTHING including the system if i remember correctly!)
Thanks eh, unfortunately I am running the Canadian xt860 and I haven't found a Bell SBF file. There are some from other markets.
Oh, that's a curious issue than, are you still going to return the device?
(Try reflashing safestrap?)
Ya, I am going to send it in for service. I have spent so much time reading and trying different things with no luck. I have a couple more options but don't feel hopeful. At least all this reading has been a good way to learn things I wouldn't have otherwise.
Hello, everyone, I'd like to share my experience, get any help if someone can, and warn some future people.
So a few months ago i rooted and ROM swapped my HTC one. It was great, I loved it, it was fast and simple.
I tried to change the ROM on it the other day and everything went down hill form there. Basically I ended up having no service and everything else seeming to work fine. So after spending an entire day trying to fix it with BD619, i had to call my carrier today. Now i have the sprint phones, and the sprint service, but i have Credo as a carrier. God knows why. They essentially gave me nothing saying my phone must be bricked and they can't help me.
One thing they did try however was to have me put in a ##xxxxx# number, and there i saw and could edit my MDN and MSID, instead of showing my my phone number and the MSID number they both had "No" written. So he had me edit it and put it in, but when i click "commit changes" it said "commit failed" so if anyone knows anything about that or could help me there, it'd greatly appreciated.
Lesson is, even if you think you know what you are doing, and are careful, weird stuff can happen, and if you have an Odd carrier version of an already less support model of phone (the sprint version), then be EXTRA careful.

Have you tried simply running the latest RUU and reverting it back to stock?

Yes, twice
This is not an uncommon problem but it happens with certain HTC ones and not others. I have helped a few other people with this issue. Most likely, your current ROM is set to RUIN/SIM in Settings-> More-> Mobile Network -> Subscription settings. It needs to be set to NV. If you can't get to this setting, you need to flash a ROM that has the setting available. CM 10 based ROMs all seem to have it. If your phone does not automatically reactivate, you can flash to a stock ROM and use the handsfree activation function and that should get you back up.

Okay so i just flashed a CM 11 build. and Holy S*** I have ******* service! I cant make calls, it says it's not authorized. And i don't see the option you were talking about, in mobile network, i see , Data Enables, Data Roaming, Preferred Network type, System select, (then grayed out) Access Point Names and Network operators, (then not grayed out) carrier settings. When i click carrier settings it says "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped. and it takes me back a screen.
where do i go from here?

Try flashing a CM10 ROM. I've always seen the option there. The kitkat ROMs I have used do not have the option except for the Nocs GE.

The only way something like this happens is one of two things.....
1. Ur a noob
2. Your a dev and your testing ril on your rom
The only way to fix this which is a cleared meid of some sort......flashing cm10.1 is the only way and aquiring service by switching to nv....once there everything is fixed just flash/restore back to your rom.

i'd kinda like to argue a point here as this just happened to me. i am certainly not new to flashing, starting back with the mogul and having almost every sprint smart phone since then unlocked (windows) or rooted (webos and android).
Using TWRP and previously running ecliptic 4.3 i wiped caches, system and data then installed the 4.4.2 from team d3rp and voila... no service no meid no nothing.... yes i have the latest radio on my phone.
i guess my point in this is that there's a number 3 that you didn't mention.
3. sh!t happens and it's not n00b related.
for anyone else that has this issue... flashing CM 10.1 worked for me. i didn't even have to set up anything, it just picked up signal. so i rebooted, wiped and nandroided back to 4.3 and all is well.
Did you flash a rom that was meant for another carrier?

I didn't... it was SuperOneK. i'm certainly not blaming the rom though. especially not when others are flashing it fine. the ONLY thing i can think of possibly happening is a bad download. I was in a rush and didn't check the md5.
I had a similar problem when flashing miui. Nothing worked. Even went back to a sense backup and nothing worked.
Commit failed as well.
Here's what I did to make it work again.
Flashed cm10. Change the network settings for CDMA. (Boom it SAID I had service..but didn't).
Rebooted a few times (probably not necessary).
Flashed a sense 4.3 ROM that was close to stock.
Update msl and all that. Commit.
For me..changed LTE/CDMA to just CDMA (no 4g in wv).
Boom it worked again. Hope this helps!

I am happily using liquid smooth but wanted to test a few things on stock. when i deploy stock i get stuck on the activating the connection part. I let it sit for about 15 minutes and still nothing. i can restore my nandroid and connect again just fine.
I am new to sprint so i don't really know the ins and outs.
Thoughts?
Also I can only get 3g when I had 4g with this room earlier. Do I need to call sprint?

Have you used the Sprint fix zip for custom Roms? If not, search around for it. That might help. As far as stock hanging up, I've had that happen too. I usually just cancel and retry and it goes through. You can find the data reset dialer code here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2949996
That might help too.
Funny... I'm having a similar problem. I switched to CM Nightlies for about three days. I experienced some instability today, so I decided to go back to stock for a while.
I flashed the newest factory image and re-locked my bootloader. It hangs on "Waiting for activation" or something like that. Nothing I do in settings resolves this.
Going to give it a little time and pray it fixes itself. I really loathe having to call customer service.
I skipped and went to more/cell networks/carrier setting/update Prl/update config and it went through. On stock.
Just an update. I moved my phone to Verizon and got instant 4G.
I just couldn't handle the crap service anymore.
Moved from one evil to one super evil.
