[Q] T-Mobile Redirect with HD7 sim - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just bought a galaxy tab (tmobile version). Popped in my SIM from my HD7 and it worked for internet flawlessly over 3G connection. Double checked - WIFI was disabled Then I called tmobile and they said I see you have a galaxy tab. I said no I have HD7...I had put the sim back in HD7.
Bad news is now when I put the sim in the TAB I get redirect to tmobile homepage everytime. Did I screw myself by calling tmobile? Anyway to get my unlimitd data HD7 sim to work in my galaxy tab without flashing firmware?

Change your IMEI. Here's the process I followed (i think-- might need to do a bit of searching to be sure)
Make sure your tab is rooted.
DL Root explorer.
mount R/W
BACKUP your efs folder and put it somewhere safe (this is all your IMEI info if I'm not mistaken)
delete the CONTENTS of your efs folder
mount r/o.
restart.
Of course this is illegal depending on where you live, it makes your tab show up as a generic GSM phone.

Translate IMEI Change Instructions
Could you please explain further. For example, I am unsure what MOUNT R/W means etc. Please define abbreviations. Your effort will be appreciated.

These are modes you put the file explorer into. Mount R/W means you can change the files/folders of your sd card. It means read/write. R/O means read only.

What about Samsung Vibrant?
Just wandering if the same process will work with Samsung Vibrant so it can be used with old web unlimited plan.
Anybody tried it?

A warning, this thread will be deleted by the moderators due to forum rules violation regarding imei changes. It has happened once before, just wanted to give you a heads up.
And this tip does actually work.

I tried this trick but soon I realize the reception goes way worse, so I reverted back.

Very interesting. It shouldn't affect the radio. Any possibility there was a location or weather issue when you tried the trick?

Most likely you are surfing under edge. Switch to a 3G modem should solve the problem

It's under exactly same location and 3g only mode, and I had MT4 along with it. I found the 3g signal is
about 10 dB less than MT4 when used the trick when the level is about the same if I revert it back. I think there's something can be done with nv_data files.

There are many 3g modems to try. Any vibrant 2.2 modem will work. Just flash the modem.bin in the phone place in Odin 1.7. You will have to verify your apn and wireless network settings after you flash. Try until you get one that works best for you.
The Vibrant modems are in that phone's development forum in a single thread.

I have successfully flashed a new kernel as well as a new rom (MoDaCo kernal with Overcome rom) in an attempt to turn my tab into a permanent phone on the TMOUSA network. (I'm fine with 2g + voice w/wifi at the moment)
I get the typical redirect (to tmobile) when using the 2g + Voice switch and have attempted to take the steps listed in this post to allow access. However, when I remove the contents of the efs folder and reboot the device, it still redirects.
Looking through the explorer I realize that the efs folder has repopulated, but the imei folder is empty. This doesn't seem abnormal, but without an imei within the folder, how am I still getting the redirect? Is it the kernel or the rom?
I've tried searching for other posts containing this problem, but don't come across any others that are helpful, mainly just "OMG *insert flaming here* I've seen this 100 times check the search option"

I didn't have a problem when i did the step when it first came out before the original thread was deleted. It is very strange that it is not working for you.Dumb question but does your SIM have voice+data on it? I am currently using my Vibrant SIM, just wondering.

Actually, I got it to work finally after switching the modem back to 3g than 2g. Seems ok now.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

You always have to check your wireless network settings when you set this up. You know, apn, mode, etc.

If I try this trick and it fails, can I go back to the original settings? I am such a coward when it comes to this stuff. I actually don't "NEED" the voice activated. I just WANT IT because it is there .. know what I mean ? Sort of like voice on my HTC Shift - I don't think I have EVER used it .. Maybe I will just leave it .. I have the Streak 7 also.

i tried the trick and works perfectly, thanks for sharing it, i was gonna try this trick on my G2 but i sold it to buy the tab, i'm happy with what i have now.

Have you noticed a weaker 3G reception?
I've tried this on my Samsung Vibrant and it seems to have worse 3G reception
(can only get reliable 3G outside of a building structure)

Why in the world would you do this to any other device besides the t-mobile galaxy tab? What did you hope to change?
This is only intended for US t-mobile galaxy tab users who get redirected to at-mobile website instead of having complete access to browsing.

so i should be able to do this on my gsm international galaxy tab? i get redirected when trying to use a data connection via my g2 sim card.

[Q] 3g no longer working?

Hello everyone. As you may guess from the topic title, I'm having a rather serious issue - my Captivate is no longer connecting to 3G or even to Edge - though it connects to Wi-Fi just fine.
It all started about a week ago, but has since progressed to a frustrating degree.
Basically, I was running Cognition 3.03, and everything was going fine - and then after hitting Flight Mode, I couldn't reactivate my data connections. I'd reboot the phone, and I'd be able to connect for about a minute or so after booting, and then Flight Mode would re-enable by itself; needless to say, it was very frustrating.
After looking around the Internet for some help, I eventually flashed what I presume is supposedly a stock rom - specifically I897UCKB1 - and thus we get to my current issue - no 3G access at all, no Edge, though I can still make and receive calls and send and receive text messages.
I guess it should be mentioned that I've had the phone about a year and a half (got it in November 2010, and therefore not up for a new phone until then), and generally put it to heavy use data-wise.
I had read somewhere that it might be an issue with my SIM card, but switching SIM cards with my dad did not solve the problem at all.
Could it be a problem with the modem or whatever that connects with the 3G network?
Thanks for your help (and for reading all of that!)

It does sound like you're having a modem issue. The easiest way to correct this would be to go to the Modems thread at the top of the Development section and find a modem that works with your ROM (KB1). Flash that from recovery and see if it fixes it.
If not, you may need to flash back to stock and re-flash Cognition.

Also, check your apn settings. There's an option to reset to default. Try that.

Sorry it took so long to reply - my home Internet access is... not good, so I have to go into the public library to do anything for the time being.
Anyway, my phone was being unruly and wouldn't let me do anything last night after I downloaded the modem that's supposed to work with my ROM - I couldn't even root it for whatever reason. I'm in the middle of downloading the supposedly official stock Gingerbread ROM (KK4) and I'm going to try from there later tonight.

Unfortunately I don't see anything about that. I go Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile Network, see Access Point Names, and it says it's empty and asks if I want to add an APN. I have no idea about what to do with that, so I'm not going to try right now.

once you Get to the screen asking if you want to add an apn, hit menu. One of the options should be reset to default. If you have no apn, that would explain why you have no 3g, etc.

Thanks for the quick reply.
When I go into Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks, it brings up a list of four items
-Use packet data (with the checkmark)
-Data roaming (with a checkmark, unchecked)
-Access Point Names
-Network Operators.
Clicking Access Point Names brings up a notification box APN Empty: Add an APN? Ok/Cancel. Hit OK, and it brings up a list of things for me to type in - hit menu and it only brings up Save and Discard. Hit Cancel, and it takes me back to the previously listed four items.
Clicking Network Operators shows Default Setup, but it's grayed out, and pressing the menu button does nothing.

Sorry for double post, but good news!
I flashed the 2.3.5 ROM I mentioned above, and it all works now!

[Q] Tab updates service providers?

Geez, I read the sticky in General and still ended up putting a question there. Sheesh. Apologies.
So, I have an original i987 ATT GTab 7 that I somehow got to GB a year or so ago, but it doesn't save settings consistently, loses my xfinity and yahoo mail account info, doesn't run half the apps I had under Froyo, and has some residual Skype config stuff from install on Froyo that won't let me install or run Skype anymore. Also, the wifi stack has always been sketchy. I also unlocked the Tab and managed to run it on another provider in China. I tried to root recently with SuperOneClick 2.3.3 and it pops up a window "SuperOneClick has stopped working..." I know how to set to USB debug and used Sideloader until ATT finally opened up the markets. I tried reloading the drivers and still get an exclamation mark.
The question is: does anyone do upgrades for a fee?
What I'm looking for is to enable the dialer, get the best wifi stability, have 3g data, the newest stable OS, have my apps run and be able to use it on ATT and Straight Talk (got the SIM already) for data, voice, and messaging.

I can recommended overcome method (see my signature for links)
With at&t stock modem and correct APN, you can go all the way to jellybeans if you want, and gel 3g and dialer.
The actual dialing though, is a problem. At&t knows you are a tablet, from their list of IMEI, and you likely can't dial on tablet plan.

So, will the Overcome 7 wipe give me a functional dialer (assuming the provider allows a call), or do I need to load the wifi fix or stock theme version? And what do those do differently from the wipe version?
Thanks,
Dan

No need those.
wifi fix is for those who has issue of wifi disconnecting.
stock theme version is for those who want it to look like Samsung stock.
Yes, if the provider allows making call, it will work fine.
I guess I didn't read your initial problem properly.
But tab not saving settings properly or can't get rid of old info, is a sign of internal nand chip going bad...
If that is so, you will have more problem ahead of you.
Hope it isn't the case.

Oh, great. Well, it's all done now, apparently successfully, just need to go to Straight Talk.
So, this NAND chip. Any chance reflowing the board will fix it, or is it the chip itself? guess I could change the chip, unless it is a BGA.

It is just the chip,
there are two threads in the general forum I think that deals with damaged internal sd and how to use external only.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877585
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463756
Apparently it is glued on!
No talk about replacement so far. It is a Sandisk chip.
It will be great if you know how to get the replacement, I am sure many here are now running without one after removing it.

Well, at least on mine, the Overcome seems to have fixed the issue there, in addition to running much that so far. So, is this the latest? You have really gotten behind Overcome, but what about Cyanogen or others? Seems Overcome is based on Gingerbread, or is it ICS? Just need to get Straight Talk going and see if I can dial.
Is there a donation fund for Overcome?

It is GB based.
teamovercome website is down for so long, I wonder if they are still around as a group.
You can easily move on to ICS and JB of CM/AOKP
Just download the ROM and the correct gapps for it
and put in SD card
and boot to CWM recovery and flash it.
Watch the message on the screen.
Too many people saying it is bootlooping while actually each flash produce a different message as it progress with the process.

Hey everyone I am new here. My problem is i had an issue with my xt861 the other night it froze went into boot mode and i took the battery out not knowing what to do well i contacted Motorola they were very little to no help lol as i expected. I started reading on here and a few other places and finally got back into boot mode after a few failed recovery attempts. i used RSD Lite to flash it with solana_cdma_solana-user-2.3.6-5.5.1.1-84_D3G-25-120731-release-keys-ACG-US.xml and went into ##PROGRAM after it booted up and put my info back in it works as expected with 2 minor setbacks mms and 3g doesnt work. i know the online photo album address but it wont let me edit it for my mms but the 3g im lost. also this phone has had signal issues since day 1 would the radio mod i have read about on other threads help fix this by the way my mother is on my contract and all of my settings read the same as hers except for the online album thing and her phone is stock

It sounds like you put Verizon stuff on there so you may have to SBF to the 861 ROM. But I'd look around more first. I wonder if the APN got messed up?

I think thats what I did. I noticed the base band version is the only thing different. is their anyway i can pull the radio image off of another phone and just import it everything else matches up on this one sorry for the dumb question I am new at messing with smart phones and trying to learn everything I can. Also the working phone and phone thats not working with data both read System Version 5.8.25.XT861.ACG.en.US Android 2.3.6 and Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-g0cce2f0 I did the *228 to update the eri and prl version.

Just use the SBF stuff but only flash the radio file. Go to the dev section and get the files from the AT&T/T-Mobile thread but instead use the 861 radio from the 861 SBF.

Thank you I fixed the baseband version now just working on getting my data working lol im learning and taking notes I made a backup of the build.prop file from the working phone and backed up the apn's

Im glad its a close family member lol but its making progress on this company thats very small when put up against a national carrier so maybe soon ill be able to mod the roms and have something I like without all of the motocrap lol but im just taking it one step at a time.

alright ive figured this much out the carrier specific info is stored partly in the root Data/property/ folder it has 7 files that can be edited with a text editor and will allow input of your number and home carrier info
also several db files in the data/data/ sub folders contain info some with sid and nid's i tweaked my signal this way using a free db editor I still dont have the correct token to log into my mobile internet but im wrking on that I have the correct apn's set on the acg flash files Appalachian wireless is apn 7 I noticed about 48 apn files in my flash

Droid Bionic on Straight Talk?

I'm trying to get Straight Talk working with this Bionic. Could someone help?

Not sure but...
I used to be a Verizon Wireless agent (Straight Talk piggy backs on their network.) If I remember right straight talk/net10/verizon's own prepaid phones are limited to 3G devices only. Policies may have changed, or I could potentially be wrong but I am going to guess that you won't be able to get it working on their network because they won't be able to issue you a compatible SIM

You have to edit the build.prop and create a local.prop (it probably doesn't exist). I recently put SlimKat 4.4.4 on my friend's Bionic, and got it working well with Straight Talk (Voice, MMS, Data, etc). Just edit build.prop with:
persist.radio.ap.phonetype=1
ro.mot.phonemode.vzw4gphone=0
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1
ro.telephony.default_network=3
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc=0
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
Create a local.prop file and add:
ro.telephony.ril.v3=signalstrength
Move this into /data/
Next, go into system/etc/ and get your apns-conf.xml file and delete all the entries you don't need, keeping only the one relevant to Straight Talk. In my friend's case:
Code:
<apns version="7">
<apn carrier="StraightTalk ATT" mcc="310" mnc="410" apn="tfdata" port="80" mmsc="http://mms-tf.net" mmsproxy="mms3.tracfone.com" mmsport="80" type="default,supl,mms,hipri" />
</apns>
For the novices, to do this last part, you'll need a file manager like ES that can utilize root permissions after enabling in settings.
After this, any 4.3 or 4.4 ROM should let you edit APN settings, etc. You may need to set your radio to GSM (auto PRL) by going into your dialer and hitting *#*#4636#*#* and going into Phone Information then down to network type or whatever. I don't have a Motorola phone in front of me If that doesn't work, I've noticed GSM/WCDMA (auto PRL) works for some.
Good luck
Edit: I forgot one crucial thing you must do. You have to use RadioComm to enable GSM/UMTS bands. You can find it with Google. The version I used is 11.12.2. You'll either have a green or purple light on the right side, signifying that your phone is connected. It should show up in the status bar too. Steps:
Ensure you have correct Motorola drivers and that device shows up in device manager (You may need to use Google USB driver, as this has worked with some Motorola phones for me)
Ensure that USB is in PC Tools mode
In Radiocomm go to MA->COMMON->MDM 6x00
Go to the FTM Common1 tab, and wait for purple or green light on side
Toward the top of NVAccess you'll see a select box. Scroll to NV item 1877 NV_RF_BC_CONFIG_I
Click on read value
Once read, replace the first 8 bytes with: 8703E80400000200 (back up original as a .txt file or something)
Write the new value to the device and reboot
There's also a flashable zip that does this, but I've not tested it. Use at your own risk:

You have to edit the build.prop and create a local.prop (it probably doesn't exist). I recently put SlimKat 4.4.4 on my friend's Bionic, and got it working well with Straight Talk (Voice, MMS, Data, etc). Just edit build.prop with:
persist.radio.ap.phonetype=1
ro.mot.phonemode.vzw4gphone=0
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1
ro.telephony.default_network=3
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc=0
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
Create a local.prop file and add:
ro.telephony.ril.v3=signalstrength
Move this into /data/
Next, go into system/etc/ and get your apns-conf.xml file and delete all the entries you don't need, keeping only the one relevant to Straight Talk. In my friend's case:
Code:
<apns version="7">
<apn carrier="StraightTalk ATT" mcc="310" mnc="410" apn="tfdata" port="80" mmsc="http://mms-tf.net" mmsproxy="mms3.tracfone.com" mmsport="80" type="default,supl,mms,hipri" />
</apns>
For the novices, to do this last part, you'll need a file manager like ES that can utilize root permissions after enabling in settings.
After this, any 4.3 or 4.4 ROM should let you edit APN settings, etc. You may need to set your radio to GSM (auto PRL) by going into your dialer and hitting *#*#4636#*#* and going into Phone Information then down to network type or whatever. I don't have a Motorola phone in front of me If that doesn't work, I've noticed GSM/WCDMA (auto PRL) works for some.

I'm not sure what the deal is - I'm trying to do the same thing, but with T-Mobile US rather than Straight Talk... Should work fine, but when I make the above changes, I get com.android.phone stopped working over and over. If I follow every step above, but instead of "ro.telephony.default_network=3", I use "ro.telephony.default_network=7", it works fine, I can make calls on T-Mobile, but the signal strength is horrible. I can be where I normally have full 2G/3G signal, and the Bionic barely has one bar if anything. Most of the time it just says "No Service" unless I step outside, whereas my other T-mobile specific phones have no problems with the signal anywhere in my house.
What might I be doing wrong here? I just bought the Bionic as a backup as I've been told it works fine with GSM when you do the above tweaks, but I'm finding it's real-world operability on GSM to be less than stellar.

What rom are you using? I've used this technique on a ridiculous number of bionic roms to make them GSM so hopefully I can help, it's worth noting that I do not create a localprop. I found that most roms have the "ro.telephony.ril.v3" line in the default.prop and I can simply amend them by adding "signalstrength," (note the comma to include the end of the quotes) at the beginning of the entry. You might try wiping the rom and starting over but skip the step changing the radio with the *#*#4636#*#* part

The settings adjusted in the default.prop permit that you do not need to change the radio. since i started using these particular settings, I've never had to change it and additionally found it to be commonly problematic. I also found that MOST roms do not need you to add the straight talk APN. Cyanogen and Paranoid, I know for fact include them. When you boot the phone for the first time you'll need to go into the settings and select the appropriate Straight Talk APN (mine is the MVNO one).

I've tried with stock JB, as well as CM11 M11 in Slot 1. I've wiped and started over more times than I can count.
What do you mean that you add "signalstrength," at the beginning of the ro.telephony.ril.v3 entry? It's my understanding that the entry should be "ro.telephony.ril.v3=signalstrength". I don't understand what you mean by putting signalstrength at the beginning of the entry. Also, what's up with that comma?
Then again, all my difficulties could be in the fact that I have a "HW C" Bionic. Just got a "HW A" model, and will be tinkering with that soon too. It actually came with original Stock 5.5.886 Gingerbread ROM... Right now, I plan on upgrading to the 232 ICS leak (so I can go back to GB if needed), and see if I can get GSM working on it a little better.
How would you recommend I proceed with a bone stock ICS 6.7.232 ROM?
Thanks a BUNCH for your reply on this old (but fun to tinker with) phone!

Ahhhh yes, i believe you found the root of the issue. The method that was used for Ginger Bread was slightly different which almost certainly why the above may not be working for you. I practically forgot about that, I upgraded mine years ago. I've grown so fond of the bionic I'm on my third you can buy them second hand for like $50 to $100. So i Just keep fixing/repairing them haha.
I'm gonna dig through some old book marks and tutorials and find out how I upgraded mine originally and I'll post them up here for you. The timing of this coming up is almost bizarre. I'm actually in the middle of working on a website that lets you point it at a rom, it downloads it, modifies it for GSM, then provides you a link to download it. I'd actually like to make it an Android app because when I download rom updates, I have to make them GSM compatible first.

As I mentioned above, I just received the phone that's still running Gingerbread on Rev. A Hardware. Haven't even tried to start messing with that phone yet.
The original phone I was having trouble with, prompting the post to this thread, was running stock Jelly Bean on Rev. C hardware.
You say you're on your 3rd Bionic because you like them so much! They are a rugged and capable phone, for sure. What carrier have you been using it with? I've been attempting plain old T-Mobile, but assume making it work for Straight Talk would make it work for T-Mobile as well, aside from APN settings.
How's your signal strength on your bionic compared to an official GSM phone, both for calls and data?

So here's what I would do
1) Update to Jelly Bean (you can do this with official Motorola OTA updates or more info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235946)
2) Power on phone and edit the hex values with Radiocomm see: post 29/30 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297714&page=3
- - Be PARTICULARLY picky about this part, I found this to be extraordinarily difficult time and time again. Even though I've done it at least 5 or 6 times, I felt like it never went exactly as it should. After changing the value, you might even disconnect, reconnect, and make sure the hex value has changed.
3) Root the phone (this guide seems a little indepth but it works very well once you get it down compared to other methods http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256439)
4) At this point you have a choice of either modifying stock rom or use custom ROMS. I HIGHLY recommend custom ROMS, the stock ROM is highly bloated. I have found that AOSP based ROMS like Cyanogen or Paranoid (personal recommendation), work considerably better in general in addition to being more suited for GSM usage.
Should you choose custom roms then here's what I would do next, I have found this is the easiest way to consistently use GSM:
a) You'll want to install SafeStrap or something similar (I've only got experience with SafeStrap personally and understand the developer has suspended his project from future updates but still works for me) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391875
b) Once you have that, you can download almost any ROM, extract it to a folder, change the build.prop with the proper GSM configuration you listed, find the line for "ro.telephony.ril.v3" inside build.prop and add "signalstrength," (including punctuation) immediately after the equal sign. Don't bother with local.prop.
c) Re-zip it just like it was before, then install the ROM in a SafeStrap slot (probably want to add GApps)
d) Once it's booted, you can connect to wifi to setup the Google Acct and whatnot, then (this part varies slightly depending on the rom but AOSP roms are all pretty similar) go into the Settings: Mobile Networks: Access Point Names: Select the carrier of your choice (there's literally hundreds preloaded)
Lot of detail but a lot of specifics left out, if I can expound on anything please let me know which areas are too vague.
UPDATE: Here's the ROM I'm currently using. I literally install this thing with safe strap along with the pa gapps modular micro and just use it. No editing files, no thing. Just use it.
Paranoid Android Legacy Original - http://get.aospa.co/legacy/targa
Paranoid Android Legacy GSM Ready - http://dailen.bitnamiapp.com/roms/pa_targa-4.6-BETA5-20141022.GSM.zip

Wow! This is above and beyond! Truly thankful for this guide. I'm fairly familiar with ROMs in general and putting Safestrap on the Bionic... but the fact that you hand-edited the PA ROM and provided a link... I deserve not such service!
Will attempt a flash tonight and let you know. Still plan to keep stock 232 ICS leak, since it will never get used once PA is installed! Will reply tomorrow if I get everything working!
Thanks again!

What version of Safestrap are you running? I installed 3.73, and once installed, my stock ICS 232 gets stuck on the boot animation forever. FXZ back to 905 and then update to 232 to get back into ICS...
I dunno, maybe I'm making a big deal out of wanting to keep the path back to gingerbread. I should probably just bite the bullet and go up to stock JB first as you mentioned...

For some reason I distinctly remember their being a link between the stock rom, and those installed in rom slots. I'm currently using 3.7.2. I also THINK I recall that a while back when I wanted to use SafeStrap 3.5 I only could do so if I upgrade to JB. I can't find any documentation to back these up so take it with a grain of salt. Personally, I'm one who upgrades and never looks back so maybe I'm just biased haha

Dailen (the artist formerly known as Plasmaleto),
I took the plunge and updated to stock JB, rooted, installed Safestrap 3.73, then installed your pre-GSM-configured version of Paranoid ROM. Rebooted, connected to wifi, got everything setup. Powered down, inserted my T-Mobile SIM card, and voila! Full HSPA signal! 5.01mb/sec download, 1.22mb/sec upload. Outgoing calls work! Incoming calls work! Data works! Super cool! Thanks again!

Congrats! Glad that worked for ya!

Just trying your tool on the CM11 M11 release. Will let you know how it works. Do you know, if I came across some older ROMs... JB 4.2/4.3, would your tool work for them as well?
Also, since you're a Bionic nut, I don't suppose you have a version of CarbonROM sitting around from before they dropped support for the Bionic? I contacted them and was surprised to learn that they have absolutely ZERO archive of old version downloads.

Well in theory the answer is yes. The way my script works, it changes only what it finds. If you can send me a link to one of the roms you'd like to try I'd be happy to take a look at the build.prop and tell you for sure if anything is missing.
Also, I don't recall having the carbonrom sitting around anywhere but I see their github still has the source posted, I suppose I could always try compiling for you. I got a couple ubuntu systems running I could put to some good use. Might take a few days.

Give it a shot!
Going to give this a shot right now on a friends Bionic. Unfortunately have to wait a few days for the Straight Talk Sim card to arrive. I'll report back.

Think I screwed up!

I believe I have screwed up. I tried the radiocomm program last night and everything was green for me but I didn't write to the phone. I installed the pa_targa-4.6-BETA5-20141022.GSM.zip file, and the Gapps for that ROM. When I tried to go into Radiocomm again, it comes up red when I try to read (1877). Do I still need to do that or will the phone be good to go once I pop in an AT&T sim card? Thanks, Howie

Radiocomm is EXTREMELY particular and I swear it only works 3 out of 5 times. I seem to recall that when I did it, it wasn't "writing" the settings properly and I had to change the USB connection type. If my current setup is any indicator, it was set to "PST USB Driver". I also recall that one time I uninstalled the bionic drivers and reinstalled them and it started working.
It's probably worth mentioning that I would connect to your phone in Radiocomm while in the stock rom if possible. There's no telling if there's some quirky specific USB driver in the rom that Radiocomm depends on. When in doubt, try a different machine. Be sure to get the Bionic USB drivers working 100% (meaning no device errors in device manager) prior to doing the radiocomm stuff.

[Q] Flash Lumia 1020?

Hi
I been having problems with using my "internet sharing" on my lumia 1020(keep telling me I need a data connection in order to use this feature....eventhough I do have). I asked around and one person asked if my lumia 1020 was from Rogers Canada which it was. Eventhough my phone is unlocked, this person is saying that the Rom on my phone is still Rogers and it is most likely the reason. He suggested getting rid of the rom, though I am not sure how to do this. I seen some posts here on how to flash but nothing for 1020, I am wondering if there is some guide for the 1020 as I really want step by step guide for my phone as I don't want to screw up.

Do you have the problem with both, wifi and mobile data connections? And did you try by connecting to a PC via USB (= using that connection)?
Also, why shouldn't it work with that particular ROM, did he explain that any further?

How I understand internet sharing works, is that it shuts off wifi and you can only use your data connection. It tries to shut it off and then I get this error ""there's no celluar data connection to share right now. check your cellular settings and signal, and try again"
Even though I can surf the internet before and after that message, so it is not my data connection. This guy thinks said he seen this happen on other phones and the he thinks the reason is that Rogers has like software locked that feature so that it only works with their Sims and that it is reject my Sim from another provider. He thinks that if I would reflash my computer with the Rogers rom then that check would not exist and it would work.
I am not sure what you mean by connecting to to a PC via USB. I can connect my phone to my computer and browse the file system of the phone, I just can't hotspot or really send MMS messages.

Oh, I thought you were talking about a different feature.
Yeah, you create a wifi hotspot from your data connection. What I said doesn't make sense then.
In general, you could also try a hard reset instead of fiddling with ROM, that's way safer. However, you will lose all your data on the device, so make sure you backup everything beforehand.
http://www.hard-reset.com/nokia-lumia-1020-hard-reset.html
I once had an issue with a settings page on my Lumia 800 back in WP7 days. Everything else failed, but a hard reset fixed it.

Is there any backup program to backup like your titles and stuff or will I have to setup all this up. I think my apps are backed up?

I don't know what "Access Point" is. I am trying to use settings -> internet sharing - switching sharing from "off" to "on"
Yes calling works, texting works(besides mms texting which seems to work maybe 50% time)
Yes Data works, I can surf the net, use any data required. Only thing is "internet sharing" thinks it is off.

Search the internet for "Nokia access point app" you will get a link to the windows store to download the app. Download and install it. It fixes internet sharing.
