Hello Everyone,
Here's my problem, I managed to unlock the phone by rooting it and then using terminal emulator.
Call and text works fine but the mobile data don't go above GSM (not even EDGE) which basically means I can't use any apps that requires connection.
Did anyone have that problem?
I live abroad (Europe) does it matters?
Please can someone help?

More information......
What provider are you using in Europe? Have you gone through the unlocking process for not only GSM use but also international(they aren't the same)? Why would you buy a SPRINT phone for use in Europe??? An ATT ONE would have been a much better choice for use abroad. Or with one....snicker,snicker
I'm using NRJmobile.
As for the process I went through, its the one described in this guide and then the configuration for the APN but apparantly not the second one you were taking about.

I'm a noob regarding this so try to do the best I can following different guide but now I'm stuck.
Why did I chose Sprint? Because I didn't do enough research before buying (I had a good deal on ebay and I took it). Looking back on it that was stupid of me.
Can you tell me about that international unlock?

Google search for it on XDA. The threads there made it work for my Kaiser, but since I was on Softbank rental sim (which doesn't offer flat-rate data), the password populated and worked, but I still get billed by 128byte chunks.
I actually am on Softbank with an unlocked kaiser (just have a SIM contract). There were some instructions (in japanese) to get the open.softbank.ne.jp to work. I was testing it out cautiously for the first month and it seems to work fine. However, from yesterday I can't even make phone calls or get a data connection. When i try to make a call it tells me to call customer service, when i try to make a data connection, it tells me the answering modem has been disconnected.
I plan on calling Softbank tonight to see what's up. If it's just a technical glitch, i'll post what i did to make everything work. If they locked me for using open.softbank.ne.jp...oh well...i guess i'll try docomo!
I followed the instructions for setting up the open softbank connection, am using an HTC branded kaiser from Hong Kong so no lock, and as of 15 mins ago my data still working sweet.
Just download the prepared softbank package from the other thread, there is a readme, pretty straight forward but I can say it is working.
Another possibility is from tomorrow emobile will have kaisers here on data plans for half the cost of softbank. I would love to get an emobile sim and setup a connecdtion with them. But you know how it is here. The moment I asked the know nothing guy standing next to the phones about getting just a sim contract things get oh so complicated... sigh...

Will the Kaiser work on emobile since they're using W-CDMA 1700MHz? If it does, without a new radio firmware, then there's hope of using the Kaiser on T-Mobile USA's 3G AWS W-CDMA 1700.
I tried installing the emobile Sim card in my unlocked kaiser (friend had a demo emonster) and it doesn't work (probably due to the 1700Mhz). I'm a newbie, so can you tell me if the the radio can be set through a firmware upgrade or is it a hardware issue?
eMonster ROM needed
Hi i have the emonster. But i am having some trouble with the ROM. Anyone know where to get the factory ROM for emobile emonster S11HT KAIS140 SPL-3.06.0000 CPLD-8 RUUNBH?
TyTN II on Softbank
Could anyone help me reset the setting to enable this phone to work properly on Softbank. I am not sure what priceplan I'm on so whatever settings you can give would be great...
I have tried talking with Japanese staff but my Japanese is not good and their English is even worse.
It is so difficult to get a straight answer. I know this phone works here as I did nave it working a couple of years ago, but due to some changes in Softbank, it doesn't seem to work now..... Could someone please help me with a set of settings.
I am using Windows mobile 6
Thank you very much in advance...

Hello peeps, i finally received my G1 today... Happy!
Two things i would like to know i do have a t-mobile sim here but i dont get t-mobile service in Australia so i will need to unlock it.
What would be the best way of going about this... could you point me in the best direction for the cheapest and safest Australian Unlock codes , other thing is somewhere i read its possible to skip the gmail bit and activate it later also someone said to me it was possible to start the wireless connection to enter those gmail details so i dont need a sim with data....
So main question is with a t-mobile sim here is it possible to access the phone without having it unlocked and without t-mobile service?
The other thing is i have heard going around is that dev images have unlock strings would this allow me to use a Australian sim to enter the details at the start without having to pay for unlock??
Call t-mobile to get the phone unlocked, they are quite relaxed with the unlock codes, secongany dev based rom something like cyan' s rom will allow you to skip the g-mail reg when you boot up and connect via wi-fi, even hero roms have that option
I tried messaging t-mobile but they said i needed proof of perches because i don't have a t-mobile account

Hi all
This is hopefully the last factor in deciding whether I will get the HD7 or not.
I read on cellhub that you have to "Activate on Delivery". What does this mean? Can you not use the phone before it is activated or does it only need to be activated on T-Mobile if you are using it on T-Mobile?
Thanks again.

not sure what that is, mine arrived, poped in the sim, had touns of trouble with importing contacts, but once I got past that, the phone works just fine out of the box.
Im Tmobile USA.
now using the empty OS it self is a whole other issue
If you mean an iPhone like iTunes dependent activation there is none. Just pop the sim in and you are ready to go. In fact, I didn't even entered a SIM when I first opened it
Ok, great, thanks very much.
Were you two both on contracts or prepaid?
I will be purchasing the phone and then using it in South Africa so I don't want it to get here only to find out that it has to be activated with a T-Mobile sim card
You mean unlocked/locked phone. If you bought yourself an unlocked phone there shouldn't be any problem with your SIM . Just as I did
No, I know I'll need to unlock it.
I want to know if the actual phone has to be activated by T-Mobile before it can be used.
Do I require cables, software or any technical knowledge?
Unlocking your HTC phone by HTCimeiUnlock.com is very simple. You don't need any cables, software or technical knowledge. All you have to do in order to unlock your phone is to switch it on with a not allowed SIM card and simply use your phone's keypad to enter the eight digit unlock code provided by us!

Looks like no.
I flashed back down to 2.1 just for a clean start, then rooted and downloaded the GalaxyS_Unlock from the market, followed the steps, then got my phone unlocked. Dialed that certain keypad code to double check and sure enough, I'm carrier unlocked. My friend wants to buy it from me since it is unlocked, and he has SIMple mobile. Anybody know if he can get 3G/MMS/SMS/Calling/Data?!?!
You need to look for what freq it uses.
Edit: It seems they use Tmobiles 3G networks. If true you won't ever get 3g on this phone (stuck on EDGE).
But calling and SMS will work?
Yes it will work.
What price would you guys recommend I sell it for?
Not the place to ask that. To be honest prices vary so much on location.
Hi All,
I got the ATIV SE and really like it. Problem is that even though it's unlocked SIM and I have also developer unlocked it, I cannot get internet sharing to turn on. I bought from Verizon, but am using it on T-Mobile. Error is:
To enable tethering on this device, go to Verizon.com or dial *611
What is the best way to get this phone to forget about Verizon? Is there a way to just factory reset to vanilla windows?
Thanks for help

I'm not sure but could it be possible that your carrier lock Tethering?
Have you tried an oter csc?
Or can you flash an other ROM`?
Thanks for the reply. No, carrier does not lock. The problem is with the phone being set up to think it's a Verizon phone. Is there a way to flash another rom here? or something like root?
We can interop-unlock Samsung WP8 phones, although if it's fully up-to-date it may need to be downgraded first. I don't know if that will help you, though. I can't tether (well, not over WiFi; wired works) my non-T-Mobile phone on TMo either.
There won't be another CSC to flash... Unless you can get @-W_O_L_F- to help you out with a custom rom....

Sorry for the slow reply. I didn't get notified by this site that there was a reply to my post.
Can you please help me out with how to do this with ATIV SE?
Interop-unlock instructions are in my signature. I don't know if they'll help you though, and if you're on GDR3 (probable) then you'll need to downgrade first (or use a custom ROM) and for that you need to read @-W_O_L_F-'s threads. I don't know if there's a base ROM (non-Verizon) for the SE; if there is you can probably flash that but we may not have one.
If you wanted to know how to do wired tethering, just search for "tether ATIV S". Seriously, #1 rule of this forum is literally "search before posting"

Seriously, thank you for the reply. I did lots of searching, but since ATIV S and SE are quite different, I wasn't sure if anything related to S would work.
I'd love to flash an SE base ROM on this, but I haven't been able to find that there is one.
The MS Store in Bellevue said that they would be getting a Samsung base ROM in a couple months that they would flash onto my device for me. But I'd like to do this sooner.
Should I reach out and read wolf's threads to see about using a custom ROM here then?
Thanks!

Try a variation on the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52490701&postcount=5
Worked for the HTC 8x, should work for Samsung as long as you can put in the right model ID. (hint: it's not "dm=Windows%20Phone%208X%20by%20HTC" for your Samsung.) Good luck!

Thanks for that! The process worked and got me almost there.
Ok! Super progress here. This is what you need to add for the Samsung ATIV SE
// Replace oemId=Samsung with oemId=NOKIA
oSession.PathAndQuery = oSession.PathAndQuery.Replace ("oemId=SAMSUNG", "oemId=NOKIA");
// Replace the device model with the dm for the Nokia 925 (AT&T / North America):
oSession.PathAndQuery = oSession.PathAndQuery.Replace ("dm=ATIV%20SE", "dm=RM-893_nam_att_206");
Note the CAPS for the oemId.
I installed Access Point (along with some other cool Nokia Apps). I went to enable Internet Sharing, but now I have a new message:
Add Internet sharing?
"Your current data plan doesn't include Internet Sharing (it does). Do you want to open an app from your mobile operator to add it? Internet sharing use your cellular data and may incur additional charges."
Any ideas where to go from here? Clicking Yes does nothing. So does clicking no.

At this point, I'd call T-Mobile and see if they can double-check everything on their end. They might need to reprovision your data services. I had a similar issue with my old iPhone when I added the 500MB tethering option.
They do have an "access point" app (I forget what it is called) that comes pre-installed on their phones. (Literally useless, it is so when you click Yes on the "learn more" button" it tells you to call customer care to enable internet sharing. I always delete it off of mine when I restore from stock).
That is another fun trick: to get rid of apps you can't uninstall, set the date and time on your phone to later than 2200 and click on the app...it will tell you that it expired and give you the option to uninstall it!
Let me know how you make out!
fruehling,
Did you ever get this solved? I'm planning on getting this phone too, but for use on At&t. I hope I don't run into the same problem. But I do have some questions to ask you, I hope you don't mind answering....1) Does the voice call works as any unlocked phone? .... 2) Can T-Mobile detect that you're using an ATIV SE? Or does T-Mobile says you have an Unknown device when you check your online account? Thanks!

If you are in Dev Preview.. try the foreign sim trick
if not just install a new keyboard.
I followed the procedure outlined, and using SysAppPusher, it attemped to install "access point" under Microsoft mobile (not Lumia), and from the store, the status changed to "owned". But it didn't actually install it.
I turned off the proxy (as it was recommended) and it still didn't install it. Any idea as to what could be wrong?
I'm on the latest 8.1 release.
