When we retired my wife's hero we gave it to the kids. I have it set up as a wifi phone. It works for calling everybody except my wife. I think that this is due to the fact that the phone says it is the same as her phone number. When you go into the settings it says my wifes number. It goes directly to voicemail when calling my wife's phone. Wondering how to either change how the phone sees itself or delete it out. Prefer to change the number to his wifi number. Thanks for any answers in advance. If this has been covered before if you can point me in the right direction.
Hi,
From market get the MSL app to get ur phones MSL code, now Flash to a sense ROM like
Liquid sense or NFX so u can use ur dialer codes.
From the sense ROM dial ##786#
Then it should ask for ur msl when u select reset phone.
Please note that this is not the same as factory reset cuz that will not help in it case.
Worse case call sprint after u put the sense ROM onto phone.
Good luck

Got the Msl code and would work great but for some reason it would let the call go through today. Weird. They aren't willing to lose their info now so won't let me do it. Appreciate the info. When I talk them into switching stuff this info will work wonderfully. You know I'm the parent and should just do it. Just can't bring myself to mess with someones stuff/tech without permission. Had to harrass the wife for a good six months to let me root her evo. thanks for the info.

Hello, i got a G1 from my cousin, so i cant use it yet but im the 1st day,
i can still use the "camera, calculator and some of the apps, it happens that i wipe-out the datas. but now i discover to make an update that some1 instructed me to do this.
1. Go here: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list
2. Download this: signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip [8th in the list]
3. Rename it: update.zip
4. Place it on your SD card
5. Put SD card in phone. Reboot holding the Power and home buttons.
6 Apply the update...
7. Done.
but then i cant even still see those apps like camera's bar code reader,
calculator etc.. is there a way to see those? or i now need to get an unlock
pin to activate the phone and see those apps?
my phone is 2weeks nothing to do ><
all i can see is the emergency calls xD
Is it asking you to sign in to google?
I'm not really of your scenario, you're using a t-mobile SIM, right? When I got my G1 I didn't have a t-mobile SIM, so all I could do is use emergency call until I unlocked it. Thing is, when you factory reset your SIM unlock is still retained, so I don't really see how this is possible...
So we can understand what happened.
-The phone worked fine
-you factory reset
-Applied that update
-it's asking for a code
Is it an unlock code (for the SIM) or a gogle sign-in?

First of all thanks for replying bro, its really appreciated
i got my G1 without a T-mobile sim card. so if i put a sim from here
it ask for a pin and also requires me to sign in tio google.
how to fix? or the only way is to get it unlocked?
coz samehere i only can use emergency call xD
so you have an rooted locked g1 and you what? Hard to follow the conversation
If you're not on tmobile you need to purchase an unlock code, you can buy them on ebay for about $15/£10. They will ask for your IMEI. Never publicly post your IMEI. If you see one really really cheap, make sure they are going to give you the code, rather than tell you how to unlock.
After thatyou need apn settings for your carrier, press menu, enter those and sign in.

I will ask him a favor to get me a "UNLOCK PIN" for the G1 then i will give my IMEI to him.

When it Success, what will i do next? i will need "APN Settings"? i dunno that yet xD.. where can i find the settings? and will i need to have wifi connection?

did your cousin originally have tmobile? what he can do is call tmobile and say that he sent his g1 overseas to his cousin as a present... jus tmake sure you tell him the IMEI number found on the back of the phone when u take out the battery first before he calls tmobile..
tmobile will give him the unlock code thru email within 24hours.
if he didnt have tmobile then the only thing u can do is buy the unlock code.preferably ebay.
a lot of apps use data. so apps that use internet and such will not work since there is no SIM in it. u need a sim with a data plan. but u can use the phone over wifi. no calls but download from market and browse the web.
PM me so i can walk u thru. more things.

Hey Guys,
I'm really liking my first Android phone, but am having a heck of time working out the kinks. Phone calls and text work. Here's a list and if anyone can help out with any of them, I'd really appreciate it.
1. The phone constantly tries to do Sprint Auto-Activation. I *believe* this is causing the GUI to crash constantly...I've tried three ROMs and none run very stable. Is there a way to disable that pesky auto-activate?
2. I need data settings for Virgin or Boost. Coming from an iPhone, I don't see a setting for an APN anywhere. I think I have the settings, but I'm not sure I'm putting them in the right place.
3. Is there a special ROM I should install since I'm not on Sprint? I'm surprised there aren't more Verizon ROMs around.
Please help with any suggestions.
Realized this should probably be in the "General" instead....

So your on virginmobile but with a cdma hero? Awesome to get to the apn settings just hold the green call button down till you get the voice dial or just do it from your menu. When it comes up say, "open apns". It will take you to the apns. Are you rooted? Also to get the phone to stop doing that pesky
Thanks for the help. I'm working on the APN stuff now. I think your last post got cut short. I'd really like to know how to disable to auto-activate crap. I'm also getting invalid username/password, but I'm sure thats just becuase its trying to log into Sprint.
So u can use sprint phones on virgin mobile? please how do u do this..that 25 buck plan looks to good to pass up.. How would i say use my hero on virgin mobile..
I'm only able to place calls and text. NO DATA which is driving me nuts. I need the APN/Data settings for VM, but no one seems to have them.
And my phone keeps trying to do Sprint auto-activation, which is also driving me nuts. And I keep getting GUI crashes no matter which ROM I use. So far the process has been anything but smooth.
Does anyone have ideas on disabling Sprint auto-activation? Thanks!

I knows this isn't much help but do a search for cricket. I saw a way earlier just gotta find it cuz i'm not doing anything i'll look to ..... try this enter ##data# then hit edit enter your msl then turn off vocoder. Also hit menu then commit changes
I'm pretty sure I seen an APK in the phone somewhere that was related to the over the air activation stuff... might wanna look for it.
I could be wrong, that may be for the Moment, but that's Android on Sprint too so I dont see why the Sprint Hero would be different.
I too am really interested in putting my Hero on Virgin Mobile US. Has anyone figured out the data settings for wap/apn and whatever else is needed? If not, if one were to purchase a cheap virgin phone, say a jax, could the information be taken from there?
Also, would it be necessary to use a non-sprint ROM since virgin mobile runs on the Sprint network???? Thanks for any help.
Ok, I tried the BitterSweet and the nags went away and everything is running smooth on my Hero...I'm really liking it. Just no DATA. I'm still waiting on settings from someone. I tried VM tech support and they didn't even know what an APN was...seriously.
Yes, you can buy a cheap $10 Virgin Mobile phone and use those "settings" for the Hero. That's all I'll say about that.

Lol, not asking about that one setting. I already knew that part, I mean if someone were to buy a cheap phone would they be able to get all the settings, apn/wap and so on from it. If so, which phone, and what else would be needed?

can program your apns in by holding down the green call button and saying "open apns" also try pushing ##data# and you'll get a menu with data and mms stuff. Another note I've been doing some research to avoid the overpriced $75 dollars to get the phone flashed to metropcs and (two things) one they say they've rooted the hero. Two they say that for a normal flash all they do is change the prl.
I've accessed the ##DATA# and APN menus, but I have no idea what to change them to. I've also looked into PRLs but I can't seem to find one for Virgin. I know they just use the Sprint network so wouldn't the PRL be the same?
If anyone is really interested in using the Hero on Virgin, Boost, or Cricket PM me. I searched the internet for hours finding all the info and I don't mind helping someone else out. The more people we get working on this, the more likely we are to figure these settings out.

**** I'm trying to get it to work on metro. My main thing right now is to stop it from doing the hands free activation. I know we have slightly separate goals but that is something we could work on together. What you really need is for the op of this thread to send you his prl.
I got rid of the Sprint Auto-Activation by installing BitterSweets ROM. It's working great so far.

Just realized you were the op can you upload your prl for others? A full nandroid would be awesome
The PRL I'm using is the standard one that comes with the Hero. I haven't changed it. I can upload it, but it should be one everyone has by default on Sprint. I forget the version...

Hey man, I had that same error when I swapped phones with a friend. I called sprint and they had me enter one of those codes (can't remember which one), enter msl when it asks<press menu<edit<profile<press menu<then restore. I don't have my phone with me here at work so i'm just going off the top of my head but hopefully it helps. Just in one of those codes try to find where you can restore the profile and that worked for me.
Well I can't call sprint because I had to do an e$n change to his old lg rant.. but do to legal issues, I cannot discuss that on these forums..
I checked the FAQ and did not see anything...
I am getting bored with my Moment, last week I flashed 2.2 on the Vogue just to see what it is like. Glad to see you guys are still developing on it! We don't even have 2.2 yet, just the FroYo JIT.
If I remember correctly you have to flash Windows Mobile back on the Vogue before you can activate it, right?
yes that is correct. And how are you getting board with your moment.Just wondering cuz thats a phone i really want

I don't know how sprint does it, but this has been my experience on verizon:
I have a touch and a touch pro. I switch back and forth maybe twice a week via the website and never bother dialing activation. my guess is: the first time your activate a phone on your number, you have to call activation to get the akey sorted out. after that, the akey should never change, so you can switch back and forth between those two devices without having to call activation just by switching your esn with the carrier.
again, i'm on verizon, and this could definitely be carrier specific, but it's painless to test for yourself.
Sprint is different after being activated the phone dials #777 then that starts the provisioning I know dzo had some script that could be used for activation but I don't know what became of it

I am a ROM flashing junkie!
SDX has been keeping me busy with ROMs for the Moment, but I remember the initial excitement with putting Android on a phone that was never meant to go further than Windows Mobile 6.1. Good times.

a script to activate would be awesome.
so is this possible: set up the sprint touch with android the way i want it (phone, internet and everything working), then change the phone out and put my wife's account on that touch android phone. or would i have to go back to winmo before putting wife's phone number/account on it?

i was able to activate my phone from myns warm donut using *228 option 1 on verizon after a whole mess of flashing to get my gps to work. i activated my old phone during the whole process so i wouldnt miss any calls. i ended up with nfs fan 6.5 and i couldnt activate my phone, so i tried it on warm donut from my sd card for the heck of it and it worked. not sure if its rom specific or what not but that worked for me...hope that helps
I'm not sure what they are called but I'm talking the info that they program into then droid when they flash it.
I know how to root my phone but I am unsure that if I root it if it will keep the info( metro prl, netwrk) they placed in when flashing. I'm going with the one click root method. I don't know if it will wipe the network info back to verizon defualt.?
I am thinking not but i would love to know if you can. I have a verizon phone with metro as well and would luv to root it without messing it up
actually you can i took a chance and it works only thing is youll have to re input your info ill post it up a lil later im at wrk right now but its fairly easy but you might have to contact metro to get your account number or one of the numbers thats assigned to you when you first get the phone flashed. like they should have gave you a set of number next to your cell number . but yes you can root and flash any rom. although the speed runs fairly sluggish thought than if you were to be on the regular verizon network.
but hey its metro.
