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.

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.

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...

I'm working on redownloading milestone 6 to reflash but if that doesn't work then I'll swap ROMs. Thanks for your help.
[Update] I redownloaded and reflashed AOKP Milestone 6 and still have the same issue. Time to try some other ROMs and hope. [/Update]

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.
Any way to program custom PRL on stock rom? I tried ##778# but that does not bring up the hidden menu.
Thanks.

I'm not really sure if qpst works with this phone for prl's as i tend to do any modifications on the device itself and haven't used that program in a few years. As for the ##778#, in order for it to work you need a modified build.prop to do it. It's a simple mod but you need root access to do so. Currently i'm running viper and have my phone on a sprint corporate 56013 prl.

Does that PRL do 3g roaming?
TIA.
You have to be rooted I believe, but can still be on stock rom. Omjs mod pack has the updated epst stuff, I had asked him for it. Then you can do the prl updates on phone.
Sent from my HTC One
I was hoping not to have to dev unlock it just yet in case I change my mind about the phone.
yeah, 56013 is a corporate prl so it allows for roaming on verizon 3g network. i rarely ever see 1x on my phone unless i'm waaay out in the boonies.
If there becomes a way to root outside htcdev unlock, you could temp root and then make the adjustment in the build prop so ##778# responds. Until then, htcdev unlock is the only way to get root at the moment.

Do it like my guide says...I had no data issues with any of the i9505 roms.
So this means we can flash other carriers, i9500, or i9505 roms as long as we reset the apns and keep a stock kernel?
This is a pretty sick development, glad it made it over to us on the sprint side

I am tellng you now DO NOT FLASH i9500 ROMS on the us device, it will possibly hard brick, soft brick for sure, for every i9500 rom that got released, the same rom was released for the i9505, so why use the i9500?

I'm a noob to Motorola, just rooted my X last night(had to wait because I accepted the OTA). I'm on Verizon/locked bootloader and I'm not sure how to go about installing recovery/ROM. I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere but could someone point me in the right direction, maybe a tutorial on what to do. Thanks! Comments are always appreciated!

you cannot unless you bought the developer edition. You have a locked bootloader.

Being able to do many more things than a non rooted phone.
Like uninstalling/freezing bloatware, backing up app data via TiBu or other app, enabling free wireless tethering, and so on. There is more you can do of course, but to me personally, those are the big three things I can't live without on a phone.
Thanks for the info! So basically I'm just waiting for someone to figure out how to unlock the bootloader before I can start flashing ROMs?

You best best is to do some research on using SafeStrap. The odds of a bootloader unlock coming about for the Moto X are very slim to none is my guess.

agreed about BL. But there are some rumors that jcase and teamirc might be working on something. A post a day or two ago led to some speculation that they may have found a BL unlock but it is highly speculative. The pledge thread is up to almost 1200 so there is at least some incentive. And being the second security team to crack a moto BL might be a pretty big deal for jcase and teamirc but we will see.

SS has been able to do custom roms for some time now, but nothing is really out for the moto x yet besides the vzw rom that allowed you to have the new OTA without having to take it and lock your BL from downgrading back to stock original FW. Some things may be out in the future, but because devs are finding it difficult to keep active notifications and touchless controls because moto isn't giving them access to what they need to incorporate it, it might be less likely that many roms come out because so many people like those aspects of the phone.

⬆⬆⬆⬆ Rooting cannot break knock on. I would try
1. Make sure it's on and toggle it either way
2. Factory reset after making a LG backup and dragging that file over to your computer. Then reset and drag the file back To the LGbackup folder on your phone. Restore from backup and the whole process shouldn't take more than 5min and you're phone will be exactly the way you had it setup still.

Actually the hidden menu on Sprint does not have the option to fix it. The work around is go into the general section and download my Sprint unlock Rom which is a att Rom. Then use the att dialer code and get into the hidden menu. Then go into recovery and run a back up. You will have knock on again.

I have flashed the LS995 Rom that you provided to return to stock, and yet the knock on is not working. I dont know why.
Yes, the ATT Rom that you provided is great, it can repair the Knock by access the dialer code.
After I fix the knock on, and I use TWRP backup to restore System, Data, Cache, EFS, Boot, but the knock on is gone again on Sprint Rom.
Do you have any guide to restore back the knock?Or I perform a wrong way?
Or perhaps there's a way just to get the touch firmware from AT&T or AT&T Hidden menu LoL and install it to Sprint LS995 Rom.
I would appreciate your help.
