Ok. Here is the very fustrating problem. Got my cellphone flashed to cricket at a local store. Data was working fine until I changed my number. Now talk and text work but no data. I did a search on here and a guy said its because my old number information is still in my phone. The thing is I dont know how to update it to put my new number in? I am in desperate need of help because I use Google Maps at work but I cant now because of the no data thing. Went backed to the store that flashed my phone and they said it has to be reflashed again even though talk and text work.
Again. I am in desperate need to fix my phone and cant afford the $55 bucks they want to reflash my phone. PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU HELP!!!!!!
Also sorry if I posted this in the wrong section
Just a thought. Try ##72786# from the dialer and choose reset from the menu when it comes up.

i bought a used g1 no physical problems took it into a shop and they couldnt find anything wrong with it internally so im guessing its a software issue....dont know if this guy i bought it from tried to mess with root and messed something up but im thinking its some sort of software stuff....can anyone PLEASE help!?!?!?!?! i either get this phone fixed or keep using my nokia that seems like its from 1998 and its killing me!!!!!!
What are the stats of the phone? You can check the versions in the settings\about phone area. Model #, Firmware version, Baseband version, kernel version and build number information would be helpful.
Is it already rooted? If not, you may want to go ahead and start reading up on the root process. Some of the newer builds may or may not help the issue. But if it isn't rooted and you arent getting a signal, it very well may be a network issue. Also, does your phone service have a data plan? Has the phone gone through and passed all of the sign-in procedure? (being from another country, I am not sure what all you have to do to activate your phone) Sim card good?
thats the problem i did a factory reset to input my gmail info and now i cant get past the damn activation screen! ive been through all the customer support through tmo and cant figure anything out!!! im goin crazy
also ive found this webpage http://developer.htc.com/adp.html that has recovery, system and radio images from htc and every time i try one of them it comes up and says no signature or no verification.......not sure what to do

you cant apply those because your phone is not rooted. learn what your doing without randomly flashing everything that can killed your phone. and yes, you can kill your phone permanently flashing the wrong **** (i.e radio/spl)
Ok, I've tried my best to figure this out on my own and now I need some help.
Had my CDMA Hero flashed to Cricket a few weeks ago on talk and text. Just found out that I can get Sprint service, so I want to activate on Sprint instead of Cricket.
Here's what I've tried so far...
1. Latest RUU (1.56) installed successfully. Data in ##3282# seems to have stayed the same.
2. Manually changed my MSID and MDN to the correct Sprint settings given to me by tech support. Still won't activate or Update Profile.
3. Executed ##786#. Still won't activate or Update.
4. Reset User Name in ##3282# and committed. Still won't activate.
5. Called and double checked that my ESN is free and clear. It is. Tried all above procedures, still no luck.
6. Wiped Dalvik, and caches through Recovery 1.5.2. Also wiped phone through the white screen boot up procedure with the volume key. Still no luck.
From what I've been told by tech support, if none of these things gets my phone to activate on Sprint, then I need to get my phone flashed back to Sprint since it's currently flashed to Cricket.
Can anyone give me any advice? Is anyone else on Sprint, maybe even in the Eastern NC area, who wouldn't mind giving me some edittable settings from ##3282# or other things to check?
Getting a little frustrated but not giving up yet. I can't afford or have the time to wait until I can afford to take this phone somewhere and get someone else to do it for me. If anyone can help me out, I'll be happy to write a fully detailed guide on this whole thing for anyone else who has this problem in the future!!
Another bit of info. I just tried flashing the RUU again, since my phone wouldn't even boot on the last ##786# I tried. To get it ready to use RUU again, I loaded my Fresh 1.1 nandroid, ran rhe RUU again, and now there's a change.
My passwords for ##3282#, etc. are no longer "000000", and they're back to the default "190320". Does this mean that I'm no longer unlocked? Am I making progress now?
Grr.
LMAO man... I was in the same position as you ... but I was in Metropcs...so first of all to flash it to metropcs I went to a store called WirelessToyz and they did it for me, I got tired of metropc's slowness and I wanted to go to Sprint, so I had a hard time doing it until I went back to WirelessToyz and they flashed it back to sprint, even tough you flash the RUU that does not make it run on Sprint , when they "flash it" they do something else, long story short go to wherever you did that and flash it back to sprint, you might need to pay money.
I just bought this new phone 14days ago. I got my number transferred from a prepaid to a new simcard. Everything was good until they actually ported my number to the new simcard. After that i have NO internet at all.
I have a 3G icon and can call/sms but as i try open the browser it says. The page cannot be find. Also when i turn my phone off and on it says after i dialed my pincode: Error cant apply settings to modem.
My provider is T-mobile here from the netherlands, they had some interference at the beginning at the week, but i spoke with them today and they can see everything should work. I tried to make a new APN with the guidance from T-mobile but it dosent help. Also rebooted it 4 times from fabric settings, still nothing.
Can say that i havent done anything with the phone, its not hacked/rooted or whatever. Basically in same shape as when i bought it.
I read another tread that also descripes the problem i have but these phones are rooted, and didnt really get any solution out of it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-995363.html
Dont know if its any help, but i can connect to the internet with my WIFI connection at home.
Does anyone have ANY idea to what i can do?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe also nessasary to mention i DID put my SIM in another device. Still same outcome. NO internet still
Well if you haven't got data on the other phone either then I am pretty sure its a sim/provider issue and has got nothing to do with your phone at all

Yea you would think that, they told me in the store today that was not the case. Funny thing is i tryed to switch it again into another devince, and still nothing. However, as I went into the store i got a new simcard that didnt fix the prob. Suspecting some internal flaw?
Anyway, gonna call LG and use my vip change possibility so we'll see if its the device itself or not.
T-mobile offcourse claims that its a software prob, as this often happens on first batch phones
Hello guys.
So as the title says i have a problem with my samsung galaxy s. It works to SMS and call, but i can't check my email or even go on the internet. I have already checked the settings for internet as my operative tells me to have. So i buyed the phone from a random guy and it worked for the last 1 week but now sudden it is like this. My brother tells me that it could have something with the imei-number. He says that the guy probably fooled me and have register the imei number as blacklisted. But then i wonder why can i still SMS and call?
So my question is :
What could be wrong cant i go on the internet and check my email while i can SMS and call?
What can i do if the guy fooled me? Is it any way to solve the imei-number problem if the satilite have blacklisted it?
Please i really need help with this i feel really fooled
Any help is appreciated and sorry for my bad english.
Kind Regards
Arrish
are you sure your internet and email settings are correct?
You might need to re input/input the APN's for your service provider. Go Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names and press menu to add an APN. If there are no APN's there already then it's the problem and if there are some there they may be wrong. You'll have to google the settings for your provider. Sorry if I got some of the menu names wrong
Thanks for the answer guys.
I have re-inputed the APN for my provider and i have checked my settings and it still don't work.
Kind Regards
Now i discovered another problem. When i choose GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) i cant call or SMS either. But with GSM only it works. I dont understand what the problem is. 3G doesn't work either.
What rom is on your phone?
Go to Settings>About phone and tell us the Build number.
Have you factory reset the phone since you've purchased it?
Thanks for the answer.
The build number: Darky's v9.5.XWJS8
and no i havent factory reset it.
Can someone help me please?
Please could anyone help me? I cant even SMS , Call or go on the internet. I think the guy who sold it to me has blocked it. To get money from his insuarance. If its blocked like satilite blocked or something is it possible to hack it and open it?
Kind regards.
EDIT: check your IMEI number (*#06#) matches the number on the box or the phone (under the battery)
ok ok well before we start accusing this 'guy' of fooling you, lets get you back to stock.
you are running a custom rom which could be causing these issues.
get yourself a firmware, with all 3 files, add a 512 pit, tick the re-partition box and let the phone do its thing.
then report back
Friend had exactly the same problem with their new SGS II. Factory reset sorted it out immediately.
Good luck with it
are you using the right modem for your region?? I was using one that worked in my home town but went to another city an hour away and my phoned died....apparently they use different tower frequencies in different locations where i'm from. Just make sure your using the right modem for your location.
So i checked the imei number on the phone and it matched the number under the battery. But i dont understand this " get yourself a firmware, with all 3 files, add a 512 pit, tick the re-partition box and let the phone do its thing. " I dont understand what you mean sorry , could you explain better thanks.
I will try to factory reset it now.
help please i cant do anythang
Was just going to post a thank you in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937652 but guess there's a restriction preventing me from thanking them. So guess I'll start a new thread and say thanks here. But anyway netwokz posted a guide to Flash EVO back to Sprint from Cricket/MetroPCS! Well anyway I've been messing around with flashing a Sprint Optimus S back to Sprint from Cricket. Usually I go by the username Error420 but think I lost the email for that username on this forum so I'm just sol on that one. But naturally I had the original QPST readings for the phone backed up. So it wasn't any problem to get those back on the phone. Put stock software back on the phone. Took readings from my nexus to try to reproduce the settings on the optimus. Called customer support, went through all their usual steps of resetting and trying to update the profile. I freaking tried a bunch of different stuff. Well I had all my usernames, passwords, etc. erased from qpst and dfs. Anyway I came across that post and found the freaking ##RTN# code and tried that, google didnt work to well for the phone reset code for some reason. Well anyway the ##RTN# code worked like a charm as soon as I reset with that code, rebooted the phone and it procceded to update the phone for the Sprint network.
Anyway a big thanks for the ##RTN# code netwokz
There's a thanks button so that people don't fill threads with "thanks" posts. Use that instead.
