So I updated to the 7740 update on my phone to get internet tethering but now it's changed my service from AT&T to TMobile and now my phone is unusable...
Is their some sort of fix or way to start my phone from scratch?
I have a HD7s and for some reason it wont backup to before point before I updated.

Have just got an xda off ebay - like everbody does from the sound of it.
appears unlocked, and can surf the internet via my wireless at home. only problem is put my vodafone sim in and says cannot connect to network. There's an exclamation next to the signal icon. Does this mean i cannot connect at all?
Have trawled the forums for answers but geting confused by all the jargon. Can anybody post the network settings or cab files for payg vodafone. all the current links i have clicked on just appear as a .gif, not a downloadable file
Getting fed up now as apart from the phone part i love my new toy
It's sounding as though it is not actually unlocked. The fact you can surf via WiFi has nothing to do with the SIM, my Alpine works just fine without a SIM in for that purpose.
Try the unlocking tool here on XDA-Dev to redo the removal of the carrier lock. I seem to recall having more success with the earlier version.
working or not?
the programme says it is unlocked, but exclamation still comes up - i guess i have to put in all the gprs and wap ect settings for it to connect properly?
samsung27
yes thats normaly how one get gprs to work unless the correct setting are preset
cab file correct?
have just downloaded the cab file for vodafone settings - but it just seems to contain one xml file?
looks like registry settings but no change to phone.
have tried to hard reset - power and reset at bottom but always get the o2 splash screen and radio settings never the personal or corporate file bit where you put in the serial no. am i doing the all wrong???
the unlock screen came and said that it was unlocked but still no joy as to using it as a proper phone
Here's a CAB for the Vodafone UK GPRS settings, i am on the monthly SIM onky contract so they may not work if you are PAYG.
finally got my alpine working - stuck in a new sim and topped up. installed spb phone suite and keboard as could not get wisbat to work with 2003 version of os. just need to get some latest themes and apps to get sorted. thanks for everybodies help
samsung27
changed providers again
yes it did work with vodafone for about 2 days then battery went flat. charged it up - no setings will not work.
stuck an new o2 sim in it and signal works registered etc. will wait to see if it does it again. other wise will just use it as an app and music pda
If you drained the battery completly , you will alweys lose all the settings.
You must charge it before it is completly drained.
I am thinking i am gonig to activate my cdma touch pro on page plus. has anybody else done this?
I just did my touch diamond last week
i am having nothing but problems trying to program and get my diamond working with page plus right now... what ROM and Radio are you using?
tp on pp
I activated a verizon touch pro on PP. Stuff to know, 1. a sprint tp can be done but much harder. 2. Page plus has a great subforum on howardsforum but even so until you walk through stuff yourself its confusing. Walking through is easy.
3. Activation does not use esn uses longer number under battery (meid?). However you activate be sure to indicate it is a TP because otherwise the system expects ESN numbers.
4. I am very pleased overall
Just fixed my stuck roaming issue, had to update my PRL manually with a NON-EVDO PRL file.. all fixed and im digging page plus so far.
Sorry i did not get back with you sooner vap3riley. Im still kinda new to my phone and do not yet recognise all the icons, its very well posible that i too am stuck in roaming i just dont realise it
My phone is mostly default except for a few apps i added and tweaks. No roms yet.
it deffently has to do with your prl i had the same problem when i first activated my htc hero200 to pages plus... and stupid me flashed it from alltel to sprint to page plus.. but i do know its your prl i have updated mine manully after activating it doing the *22890 thing or what ever i was roaming untill i manully updated the prl then everything is great the only problem that i am haveing now beside the internet and pic messageing is that sometimes my phone has to reboot when i have a incoming text message??? but when i update my prl with the same prl that i use it works fine for a day maybe to then it will start rebooting agian untill i reupdate my prl.. sorry for kinda asking a question while answering one but if you need any help with the prl i can let you know what i do know.. and if any one could help me out i would be very happy you can email me at [email protected] thanks every one
I have been lurking and learning on here for about a month I bought a used Alltel MP6950 from craigslist and I was hoping to activate it on my alltel account I am legacy alltel with verizon well I was informed that I would have to pay 29.99 data plan.So I have been playing with it to at least see if I could get it to update prl ota and cannot get it to work I updated the prl last night from 30033 to 30053 and I finally have a EV signal icon on my phone and when I call I don't get the Roaming network I get Verizon but it will not complete the programing ota I have made some changes to the code thru qpst just to see if I could get any type of connection.I have decided now to go ahead and active it thru verizon but I want to do it online thru website and I was wanting to know if the changes I made like changing the phone number inside the phone from what it was to mine.I am running Mighhty Rom 6 and love it I just got my gps to work last night.Will those changes I made stop it from activiating and if so what can I do to fix this Thanks alot and sorry for the long post
the changes probably wont do anything well unless you did anything really wierd either way you can flash your phone back to the original rom and then it will reset all qpst settings to default. then you can go ahead activate it online. if you need help with the data ask and ill help once you have it activated
My phone has recently updated but what is the update? Nothing seems to of changed i am new to all this so please excuse me if this seems silly.
It was the "pre No-Do" update, which is supposed to make the updating process smoother for future updates. It didn't make any actual changes the user can see, but I assume it changed some back-end stuff that makes updating/backup easier.
Probably a good thing, considering all the trouble they had with Samsung.
Edit: The actual "No-Do" update with Copy/Paste, improved speed etc should be due very soon. March 8th if rumours are to be believed.
why I still don't get update for my hd7??I am in usa with tmobile
T-Mobile USA seem to be one of the few networks who still haven't rolled out the update.
Just keep checking in Zune for the update. I didn't get an alert on my phone, it was just there when I plugged it in to sync.

Got an alert on my phone & updated on Zune, strangely my wi-fi seemed to have switched itself on!!!
OK so I have a dual sim version purchased on contract with 3 in the UK.
I keep getting a software update notification saying an update is available however all it consists of is custom apps and a splash screen on start up. I refuse to install this as I was advised that once custom firmware was installed it would delay any further updates as apparently in the UK all the carriers have to approve the update before it gets released.
I'm living in hope that by holding out in this way I might be offered the 146 update sooner.
Now here is the issue....
With my sim card inserted the phone constantly downloads the update and then shows it as waiting to install. I have been able to delete it by going into apps and the software updater however shortly later it downloads again. I have switched off the 'download on WiFi option' however for some reason this keeps switching itself back on again.
Any ideas why it's doing this and how I get around the problem?
Same problem as me however I downloaded mine without realising what it was,looks like I'm stuck on waiting for three to release now,sigh I live chatted with three today and they don't seem to have a clue on the release date.
Hey, the problem is when you are clearing the data from the updater you are also clearing your preferences for auto download over WIFI.
Simple solution is remove your SIM tray, clear the app data, and then disable auto download over WIFI before you put the sim tray back in. In future when you want to check for firmware updates simply remove the sim tray and run the updater again. Running the updater with the SIM tray in will result in you having to start all over again.
Just download it, I have it downloaded and still got the latest 145 update at the same time other networks like EE did.
I.e not installing doesn't mean you get updates sooner.

i get it, however the only thing i have noticed is the 3 splash screen which doesnt bother me as i hardly ever reboot.
Not sure if you can do wifi calling with it installed?

As luck would have it I took the 3 SIM out and checked for update with my bt SIM and low and behold it was there.
Just installed and have now switched off auto download on WiFi so hopefully the 3 update won't come through again.
