APN list is blank and new APNs cannot be added

I flashed AOKP Milestone 6 last night and have been setting up this Captivate as my boyfriend's first smart phone but I've run into a problem: I can't seem to save an APN. He'll be using it on Straight Talk so I checked out this thread: Straight Talk APN Settings. I entered all that information into their fields, hit menu > save, and was taken back to a blank screen titled "APNs."
I've tried this three times and rebooted each time but always in vein. I thought that it may be this way because there is no SIM card inside but, were that the case, why wouldn't APNs change with the SIM card? Any help would be very welcome. I just want him to be able to slip his SIM card into the phone and bask in the glory that is the smart phone without having to fix anything. Cars are his thing, computers are mine.

Is your IMEI still good ??

What do you mean?

Does the IMEI number in the Settings of ur phone match the IMEI # under your battery ??

I thought that was what you meant.
Yes. Both are the same.

Good. Just trouble-shooting some.
But I'm not sure why the apns are not sticking...

It was soft-bricked for a while but the download mode jig allowed me to Odin back to stock before moving to AOKP.

Did u see this post in the straight talk thread u linked in ur op ??
Seems having the "Proxy: Not set" and "Port: Not set" worked for some users.

And the MMSC is different than the OP of that thread.

I did. It doesn't seem to matter what I put in or don't (aside from the four required fields: Name, APN, MCC, and MNC) it'll let me either save or back out but always take me back to the blank APN list.

Ok...see this... http://tracfone.deviceanywhere.com/...Id=893&cid=557921&conversationPropagation=end
The settings are different...
Maybe this will work for ya. :good:
Worth a try at least.

They didn't list any values for the MCC and MNC, both of which are required. I used the values given in the XDA post, hit save, and was taken back to a blank APN list.
I don't think that the contents matter. It seems to be something else.
I wonder how the APNs are stored. If it's something like an XML file somewhere on the phone then it could be that the permissions are wrong and Android can't write to the file. I'll try using Clockwork Mod to fix the permissions and see if that helps. There's also a feature in AOKP to have a script do it every startup; I'll try it as well and report back.

No dice. If it's a permissions issue it's not something that either could fix.

U may have to try a different Rom.
?? Don't know what the deal is...

Judging from the fact that I saw Straight Talk apns listed above I'm assuming you are on that? Anyway if the answer to that is yes I might suggest CM10 or HellyBean both of which have the proper APNs entered by default for Straight Talk.

[Q] problem with boot after bad root

Hi all
I've got a s3 i9305 french SFR. I tried to root It with à bad file bye odin. Alter that the phone boot without asking pin code and i have no signal. After i root it again with the good file and the root is ok. But the boot is still bad. The phone tell me that i am in factory mode. When i shutdown it, it do directly without the normal interface. After many research i can phone. Sorry for my english, i am a french user.
Please help.

Seems hat you are in factory mode. That mostly happens if your efs folder is damaged... I had the same issue plus an annoying yellow font on black background ... did you backup your efs folder?

No i Didn't and i read it could be the problem. But there is no solution for the moment ?

Ok ....
First try:
1. Root the device and then download SuperUser first and Terminal Emulator from Google Play store.
2. After that launch SuperUser app and then use Terminal Emulator to type in the following commands:
Code:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
(ON is the right to disable it, dunno why)

I try it but no change. I had edit the file factorymode to change it before but nothing happened. Tanks

What helped me was: go to your efs folder and change the rights to rwx rwx x

I tried it before and no change. Do you still have the problem or it's ok for you now ? Do you know how to rebuild efs folder ?

No Problem and good luck!!!

You need to follow my sticky guide in the dev section.
It's the section on how to fix your device after bad or incorrect root package.
You need to flash the Param binary in odin that I have uploaded to fix your device.
SIM pin, imei and data connection will then be back.
Here is the guide link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915
Please read the first post in that thread
Good luck!

Help after root & flashing S note N7000 SIM PIN code

Hello.
After root and update my ICS 4.0.4 to v2_c_o_h_s_XXLT4_Lite_Snote2 I got a Yellow triangle in boot menu.
Saw some posts in xda and and installed a old version rom GB 2.3, using the app "triangle away" to reset counter and it worked. After this installed back the v2_c_o_h_s_XXLT4_Lite_Snote2 and v2.1 update. Now I'm having an issue about SIM PIN pop window, it doesn't come on. Tried full wipe data, Live note 4 ROM and the problem remain. The only ways to get SIM card working is removing PIN in security menu or deactivate and activate sim pin in that menu in order to register to sim network. Anyone had this issue or have a solution for this kind of "problem". Before, with first ROM this didn't happened.
Sorry about english. Hoppe you understand.
Regards.

Please check your IMEI. Does it start with 00049...?
(And do not post your complete IMEI...)

Hi. Yes, it starts with 0049, why?

Then you will become a user of my Custom Rom , because I have the same problem and solved it for me with a workaround.
From the start:
You ruined your EFS and so your IMEI is a so called "developer IMEI" now. See your original number inside of your device (remove battery). If you didn't backup the EFS you can't repair the IMEI yourself.
There is one polish guy who can repair IMEI remotely (www.cvxcvx.pl) - he takes some money for it.
As a workaround you have to use an android.policy.jar from one of the early JB dumps (I use it with my Custom Rom). Then the Sim card is recognized after booting and you get network connection.
If you do not use this you only can disable the pin check
or
change the sim pin (simply use the old one as new one, so you do not have to remember a new number).

Really?...
I didn't knowed! And if I install a stock rom, it will remain the issue?
So, the only solution is to have the phone without sim pin? (I didn't made any efs recovery if I'm rememeber).
Do you think it could be the "triangle away" app that made it?

Yes, it remains.
No, the other solution is to change the pin after every restart. Or use my Custom Rom.
And: please no PM when you simply should ask in the forum - I do not know how much you have to pay for a repair.

Sorry about it, didn't know I can ask about values here in post. And your custom rom is posted here in xda forum?
I didn't looked at imei under battery. Custom rom changed my IMEI .
Now I understood all history/idea.
It means there are more than one cell with same Imei, right?

Newest Firmware for t679

Haven't seen it mentioned here, so here you go.
<deleted link>
If the link doesn't work just go to sammobile.com/firmwares, type t679 in the search box and sign up for an account to download.
Backup your ROM with TWRP(or CWM), Odin flash UVLK2, Odin flash TWRP(or CWM) and then restore your backup and you will have the new baseband.

As far as I can tell it only updates to the newest radio from T-Mobile. You may get better data reception but I think it depends on where you are located. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

But i could still do it right?

[Q] Forgot password

Hey,
I think this has been asked before but i will just do it once again to confirm because the problem isn't at my own phone.
The problem is the following:
My cousin has a Samsung galaxy mini 2 and she turned on her password screen lock ( a word as password instead of numbers
but she forgot her password
Because I won't lose any data or photo's and that kind of stuff so i started looking for a way to fix this problem.
What i found was, but it is only usable on ICS and GB is to fill in a wrong password as much as possible till it says:
try again within 30 sec because than you will get the option forgot pin/password
It was possible to get this option but I had to flash GB or ICS with odin --> will I still have all may data by choosing this option?
Is there any other option to get my data, photo's etc. safe or is it just flashing a rom and say bye to all your data?
Thanks in advance,
Pieter

There is a method using adb, no data loss i tried it myself. But the one i tried was on pattern instead of password. So i would recommend you to search for adb method for password. There is a change of little command. I will tell in detail with link tomorrow.
