I just upgraded my Tilt to Dutty's wm6.1, and I was wondering if there is something that I can do to make it so I can purchase things from MEdia Mall from AT&T. There are a couple of things that I need to get from there, and now it won't let me...says "we're sorry, your device is not supported for purchases on the MEdia Mall".
I know on Motorola phones you can add the Cingular certs to a folder (at least in the older p2k phones), which re-enables access to purchasing. Is there something like this that we can do to Tilts with an upgrade ROM? A cab we can install or a registry edit? I'm assuming we just need to do something that AT&T sees it as a Tilt and not an unknown phone.
I searched, but didn't see anything on this subject.
i've been looking for the same thing. I'll see if i could point you in the right direction. I remember reading something a while back about RestoreProxy and Disable Proxy.. maybe you want to restore the proxy to get it to work. Do a search in google because the search feature in this forum never find anything for some reason. Google. Restore Proxy Kaiser in google you should find someting
Well, you have to go through the proxy to even connect to the MediaNet homepage.
My sig! Look at it .
There is also an option in KaiserTweak to change how your device identifies itself to websites. Try changing the setting to AT&T Tilt. Combine that with the AT&T hidden proxy, and you should be good to go.

Essential processes for AT&T Tilt Users after each rom flash
I know this has been mentioned thousands of times throughout this forum yet n00bs often need assistance fixing their hardware keyboards, email, HTC weather, quick gps, and so on after they flash a new rom for the first time.
While hanging out in Bansville for a couple of days I realized I have been answering the same questions continuously. This is a mini text tutorial, which offers simple fixes for imperative AT&T settings.
So you installed a version of hardspl, flashed a new rom, and performed a hard reset. What next? Well primarily in all probability, you want to make sure the clock settings are in am and pm format and the date is set to m/d/y. To change your clock settings follow this navigation
Start>settings>system>regional settings>time tab>time style drop down set to h:mm:ss tt
To change your date setting:
Start>settings>system>regional setting>date tab> select the date style of your choosing and select ok.
Next, I like to restore my files such as my appointments, contacts, text messages, etc. I personally prefer to use PimBackup. Below is a .zip file for PPCPimBackup. It is an uncomplicated program to use and a lecture is unnecessary to navigate throughout this application, as it is straightforward.
After I restore my files, it is time to inaugurate the Tilt keyboard fix, which repairs your slide-out QWERTY keys to be mapped correctly. For example, without this fix Fn+W will appear as ! opposed to @. Below is the cab file you need to install to remap the keys appropriately. Following the installation of this cab file, perform a soft reset.
The next thing I usually do is correct my connection settings. First, I install ATT_Settings.cab, which you can find below. Then I navigate to the following:
Start>settings>connections>connections>select the advanced tab>select networks>Change both drop downs to Media Net> select edit on both drop downs>proxy settings tab>uncheck everything for both media nets that you changed>then hit ok or x when you are finished.
At this time, I set up my email. However, remember NOT to save your password, you will do this in the following step. If you are using HTC HOME, most likely you are, select the little envelope and create a new account. You can find your email settings by using google if you are using pop3 or whatever.
Next, after I set up my email without saving the password, I install removehiddenproxy.cab, which you can find below. This cab file is important as it allows your pop3 email account’s password to save without adding extra characters, allows for your quickgps to function properly each time, and it also allows you to use HTC Home Weather without getting a connection failure. So install this cab then go back to the email you just set up, edit the account setup, enter your password, and save it. Now, go back to your today screen and tap your weather tab. Now tap Select City and select your city (*Note there are a few patches available to select your town if you do not live in a big city). Anyhow, notice the menu button where your right softkey is, select menu and turn your temperature scale to Fahrenheit and select done.
I suggest setting up your WiFi at this time too.
Well this is my mini tutorial for a basic setup on your AT&T Tilt after you flash a new rom.
Have Fun Flashing and Take Care.
*Special thanks to the creators of these cab files and JimmyMcgee for teaching me the basics.
Am I missing something too?
Is there something to do regarding getting a reasonable GPS fix after flashing newer 6.1 roms or is it a known problem. I keep flashing down to older 6.0 roms with 1.27.14.09 radio because of the faster GPS fix. I would love to use the newer roms but GPS fix time is a deal breaker for me. To save you some time I use SPL 3.28 with 6.0 roms and 3.56 with 6.1 roms. I bounce between Q-mobile and RomEos roms now that we lost dutty. Ive tried all the newer radios and personally they all stink for GPS. Sorry about your brief ban and welcome back, I need your wisdom
*cough* sticky
AWESOME. I keep saying I need to: Start fresh, get NetCF 3.5, get a light rom. But it all seems so complicated to go from current configuration to start over completely, but this will help a lot! Thanks! Now to find the time and the 'right' ROM.
Thanks very much for the reminders, and for the CABs. I flashed my first 6.1 ROM last night, and forgot all about the hidden proxy!
I agree that this really needs to be a sticky...
This is a good tutorial, but here is a good side note to add.
By removing the hidden proxy (which ya do with the removehiddenproxy cab), Tilt users won't be able to get to media net (http://device.home or http://home) or cingular video as the hidden proxy is needed for those.
Then they should just use the Restore Proxy, and that will allow MEdiaNet.
Proxy Manager has both in it.

Did you try 1.71.09.01 ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410953
Been having the same issue and finally I think got a break. Tried about 10 SR's and the lock times are steady inside the house.
BTW using DK2
does windows mobile have a localhost file like windows? would remapping those to their needed servers allow the bypassing of the proxy?

Nice tutorial
I downloaded your PPCPimBackup zip file but when I attempted to open it I received the following prompt: "The central directory was not located . . ." etc.
Thanks for the post BTW. Very helpful and informative.

you were unable to open the zip file? I'll check it out and reupload it if necessary.
edit: works ok here my friend. Unzip the file to your desktop and move it to your storage card then run the program hopefully it works for you.

I deserved the brief ban.
Anyhow, I noticed that when running 6.1 roms with the Tilt you need an application such as HTC GPS Tool or GPS Test, to open your internal gps, prior to opening your GPS Software.
These are the steps I use to utilize a GPS Fix after each soft reset:
1) download latest updates for quickgps
2) Open GPS Tool>com 4>baud 4800>Hot Start>Then click Open and wait like 30 seconds
3) Open TT7
*If you fail to get a fix after following these steps close all programs and repeat. Eventually you should be getting fixes within seconds.
I've attached GPS Tool for you, good luck.
What exactly does the remove hidden proxy cab do on AT&T Tilts? If you go into your connection settings and uncheck the proxy server- is that the same thing or something different than the cab file does?
Hey Red,
I attached an ATT settings cab which does not enable the proxy by default, and also enableds creation mode in MMS settings. I thought it might be helpful for your thread here. Also, it may seem too advanced for beginners, but i have a thread started here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418468
This has a step by step guide to how to create an xml file using Schap's Advanced Config 3.0, which can be used to provision all of your advanced config preferences during your UC setup. This tool has really made it very easy to do reduce the amount of work that goes into flashing.
I also attached a cab for total commander, a free, more full featured file explorer; gps test, another gps tool; and advanced config 3.0. Hope it helps.
Thanks... this is a great thread!!!

Why would anyone ever want the proxy checked? Does it do something for you to have it checked?

It removes a HIDDEN proxy, one that you can't remove without a cab. Without it enabled you can't connect to medianet home, and some other things. Most users like to disable it for a myriad of reasons, one of which is that it causes you to be unable to browse while connected to your laptop.
The box that you check in connections is a separate issue, and i think that is actually just old settings, i'm not sure, since even on the AT&T website it tells you no not to have that checked.

Awesome. So, if I run the cab and remove the hidden proxy- can I then tether my laptop (connect to the net using the Tilt's data)- without getting caught by AT&T? Or is there more to tethering without getting caught?
So I got this HTC HERO yesterday from this guy.
I had a hard time getting it to switch/activate to my account on Metro.
Seems the MSL was reset and 000000 wasn't working.
Used CDMA workshop to find out what it had changed to, set it to 000000. Then I was able to edit the MDN MSID and get the phone to work and update PRL via *228.
But Data didn't work.
I used the universal root, used clockwork app to flash amon_ra recovery, made a backup.
And before I got a chance to edit the previous users' gmail/market info, he changed his password, so I couldn't find a way to change that. I used recovery to factory reset/wipe the phone and went through the set up wizard.
Data still doesn't work.
I flashed the Cricket/metropcs mms/web fix, but the phone has stock 1.5 on it, so that didn't make a difference. I am getting an error 67 now though.
Just tried to flash damage control, but it froze at the X animation after a long while or animating..
Just restored back up.
Anyone care to throw a dog a bone, I need some links/threads any help to get this working again.
thanks,.

page about switching phone from Sprint to PagePlus (Verizon) you will get the error 67 unless you are using sprint so diregard that, I dont know if these settings would work for you...but worth a shot right?
quick look up for info:
mmsc string: mms.metropcs.net/mmsc:3128
hahah sweet here ya go my man
Remove your MicroSD card and plug the phone into your PC via USB cable then open QPST (QPST Configuration, then go to Start Clients and select Service Programming) and then read the phone.
Once you read the phone, go to the m.ip tab and change from mobile ip to simple ip. Then look at the first 2 user profiles under m.ip open each one up and change the Nai to [email protected], for both standard and tethered...
remove any ip address that you find in these 2 profiles. and remove any other profiles except the first 2.
also make sure both of them say enabled.
Now go to ppp config tab...
look at the tabs that say um and an... under these 2 tabs,, the user id should be [email protected] tethered id should be the same,, password is metropcs in lowercase on both tabs, remove any dns ip address you find in either tab also. just make sure all ip address are blank.
once you are completed with this make sure you write to the phone and move on to the next step..
Step 2.
click on phone icon (on the phone)
click on the dialer..
enter ##3282#
click user name
click edit
enter your spc which should already be 000000 by now
Here are the settings:
User Name "[email protected]"
SPI MN-HA "1234"
SPI MN-AAA "1234"
M Home Address "000.000.000.000"
Prim Ha Ip "255.255.255.255"
Sec Ha Ip "255.255.255.255"
Rev Tunneling "Off"
AAA Password "metropcs"
HA Password "metropcs"
click done and allow the phone to reboot...
Step 3.
Now do ##3282# again.. this time go to browser
click edit
enter spc
youll see gateway1 and gateway2, under both of these
you will see primary and secondary,,, set primary and secondary ip`s for both gateways to 010.223.002.004,, they will all be the same ip address,, and set the Port 3128 and secure Port 443 for all gatways to ,, hit done and reboot.
Also this should work on quite a few other Sprint phones,,
This is what I do for a living at the wireless company I work for,, and so far it has worked on Samsung upstage, Instinct,, Sanyo katana, and many others,,,
all that info is from a page linked from howardforums.. heres the offical link: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...nstinct-Web-WAP-Settings-(working-100-)?pp=15
Step 3.
Now do ##3282# again.. this time go to browser
click edit
enter spc
youll see gateway1 and gateway2, under both of these
you will see primary and secondary,,, set primary and secondary ip`s for both gateways to 010.223.002.004,, they will all be the same ip address,, and set the Port 3128 and secure Port 443 for all gatways to ,, hit done and reboot.
Cool thanks, this is the only thing different from other guides I have followed. Appreciate your time and help.
I've seen people running phones on Metro without rooting or custom roms, so I know it's all got to be in the phone's settings, once it's been houdini "flashed" (esn added to metro's database).. That's how this phone came, guess we lost all the settings when we reset to factory somehow..

Unfortunatly no. It is not saving the password in qpst. But if I look at the settings thru the phone with ##778talk it shows them correctly but still no data.
One tut I followed metions using the msl and proxy.metropcs.net instead. I finally got the phone to give me an error 131, invalid or wrong user name or password.
Read another tut that suggests using [email protected], gonna try that next.
Baffling, I've been doing metropcs phones since 2004 motorola razor. First android though.

Hi folks,
I need to know what the "correct" values for the Internet Sharing registry keys look like, so I can write an app that fixes them for those of us who don't have it working. To do this, I'm asking if people can do some simple steps for me:
1) Install Webserver Native Access v0.5.3 on a dev-unlocked phone, if you don't already have it. If possibly, please use the AllCapabilities version but even the normal-capability version helps.
2) Run the app and use a browser on your PC to navigate to Registry, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\ICSSVC (URL should look something like http://192.168.0.15:9000/Registry?hive=80000002&path=SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\ICSSVC).
3) Click "Download this key and subkeys as .REG" and save the resulting file.
4) Post that file (in a .ZIP or as a .TXT) here, along with the following info:
4a) What phone model you have (if using a modified ROM, which ROM as well).
4b) What carrier (mobile operator) you have, and whether your phone was built for that carrier.
4c) What OS version you are running (exact build won't hurt but shouldn't matter).
4d) Whether the "Internet Sharing" feature currently works for you, and if not, what error you get.
Thank you so much! I'll post an example below.
By the way, I'm particularly interested in the following classes of phone:
* Everybody who can run the AllCapabilities version of the webserver.
* Anything on T-Mobile US that has working ICS. Since it seems to work only for TMo-branded phones, better still if your phone isn't a TMo model.
* Anybody who has working Internet Sharing on a different carrier than their phone was built for.
* Anybody who has it work on their home carrier but not on any others.
* Anybody for whom it does not work and never has.
* Anybody who has an open-market phone and Internet Sharing works on multiple networks for them
(I will add to this list if other classes of problem crop up and need to be fixed in a different way).
I should mention that there's no guarantee that the fix will be available for all phones, at least not until we interop-unlock them. It should be possible for any phone with IU, though, at a minimum.
Thanks for your help! (Seriously, I'll push Thanks for anybody who sends useful data *at least* until I get it working.) This could benefit a lot of us here; in theory, it might even allow us to get Internet Sharing working without it using tethered data limit too.
Example from my phone
Phone model: Samsung ATIV S (SGH-T899M), stock (but capability-unlocked and somewhat hacked) ROM
Carrier: T-Mobile US, but the phone was built for Telus in Canada even though it had no SIM lock.
OS version: WP8.0 GDR3 plus the pre-8.1 update (Samsung firmware slightly tweaked to reserve registry and filesystem writing).
Feature status: Internet Sharing feature does not work for me on this carrier, and never has. Error is:
Connection Not Shared
There's no cellular data connection to share right now. Check your cellular settings and signal, and try again.

(As a side note, that error message is a dirty lie.)
I'm very confused about this one topic.. Because i always share my internet connection without data plan since 8.0 & it works fine. Never disconnect.
Firstly i would like to know as what peoples want as refers this one.
Sorry for no helping points.
Wow, "THANKS" @djamol. Would it have been too bloody hard to follow the steps so you would have actually contributed something to this thread? If your Internet Sharing works, even though you don't have a tethering plan (I *VERY* strongly doubt it works if you don't even have a data plan; that makes no sense at all) then your configuration data would have been very valuable.
There are quite a few people who are either completely unable to use the Internet Sharing feature or for whom it would cost extra (even though, in some cases, it is *supposed* to be included in their plan). The goal is to help these people.
Phone model: Samsung ATIV Odyssey (SCH-I930), interop unlocked(thank you sir!!!)
Carrier:Verizon US
OS version: Dev Preview 8.1 Update 1(8.10.14147.180)
Feature Status: Working (Seems on other devices/earlier OS's I got a warning message about data usage but not now). Haven't tried on other carriers; first time used.
A little side note: Still had Internet Sharing enabled when I started the webserver app and got a strange IP or MAC address which when clicked on threw an error. Couldn't find the address on any devices connected to my wireless or on the router itself. Included screenshots...
Aw hell, that's an IPv6 address again. I really ought to fix the app for handling those. Thanks for the reminder...
Also, big thanks for the file! I'd like some more from different versions, just to get a feel for what's version-specific vs. different for reasons of working-or-not, but that was already helpful.
EDIT: Did you use the AllCapabilities version of the app? It looks like the standard version can't read one of the relevant registry keys, and sadly it's the one that is most useful.

Sorry, can't sideload AllCapabilities version and of course the Bootstrap app succeeds but AllCapabilitiesUnlock fails on this OS. I am currently trying to find you any other info via FS Access and came across this if it's of any use ???
Oh right, I meant to release an updated version of EnableAllSideloading for 8.1. Whoops, I should do that. If you want to help out with that (not really the right thread but oh well, it's sort of relevant), dropping the exported .REG for HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SecurityManager will help a lot. Note that it will include a list, by GUID, of all the apps you've installed (but nothing much else of a potentially-sensitive nature).
The files you provided are interesting. I can't say I know what the value in the first one mean, but they do imply a Verizon-specific difference in the feature. The second you actually might not want to share; it has the (default?) configuration of the Internet Sharing network in it, including key material. The third isn't actually data by itself; it instead defines the schema for the HotSpot configuration file. This info is potentially useful (though I wasn't able to get a Configuration Service Provider to parse my HotSpot provxml when I tried, probably because I didn't have the requisite access) although the info is also available publicly online.
4) Posted rar file here. Though I get no value, using the webserver and snicklers registry tools. Shows error2 in webserver. Registry Tools doesn't show any error just shows "no value".
4a) Using a Samsung Ativ-S SGH-T899M running Wolf's Fake Rom
4b) Using it on Simple Mobile, bought it sim unlocked I think it used to say Telus before the fake rom.
4c) OS Version 8.10.12359.845
4d) Internet Sharing works fine after Wolf's Fake Rom.
Whaaaa? That's weird. Error 2 means FILE_NOT_FOUND, or, more precisely here, means the registry key wasn't found. If you go up a level (CurrentControlSet\Services) is there not any ICSSVC key? Can you maybe post the .REG for that entire key?

It has to be blocking the internet sharing when the original CSC is run during a hard reset. However wolfs CSC has internet sharing working fine. Tested by me. Im using an ativ s t899m WP8.1 running wolfs fake rom.
Using the webserver I pulled the files from my phone. Using sam-tools I extracted his CSC file, not directly off phone just from the mbn file from his fake rom thread.
Don't have time to look them over but here they are.
Looked over files in my previous post.
The stock CSC has 5 different configurations, all from different carriers. Most of the files contain nothing related to internet sharing except the SS_xxx_CSC.xml file. This one contains a lot of registry edits that aren't included in the wolf csc. Some for accent colors, tile layout, etc. but there is a few registry edits that regulate internet sharing in there. This same file in wolf's csc contains a bunch of capability unlocks but nothing even close to the stock versions with all the reg edits for all sorts of different stuff.
It mentions a dll file named EAPSIMHSPlugin.dll that I wasn't able to find on my phone. Not that I don't think its there I just wasn't able to get to the directory from the webserver. Here is the path c:\Programs\HotspotHost\MSFT\EAPSIMHSPlugin.dll
Here are the 3 edits made that I think block internet sharing. They are in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Phone\HotspotOffload
I have that directory in my phone and it includes the subdirectory Plugins and Parameters but neither include any keys within them.
Can someone test this edit and see if its gonna be this easy to turn off the internet sharing block.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Phone\HotspotOffload\Plugins\MSFT\PluginRank
Change the 1 to 0
Ill attach a txt file of the entries I copied and pasted from the Telus CSC files that would have anything to do with internet sharing for all the reg edits made incase anybody wants to look.
Oddly enough, my phone doesn't have that key at all. It has the Plugins key, but no subkeys of it (and no values like the ones in the provxml you attached). Of course, that could be due to previous experiments that I've tried (though they didn't work). Similarly, it has the Parameters key but not the subkeys listed in the attached file.
Huh, I really thought we had something there.
Another difference is in the config file. Ill attach just them. Not sure where to go with the differences though. Not familiar with it.
Does any one know the registry settings to enable internet sharing?
There's a small collection of them, what isn't working about it on your phone? If it's something like the mobile operator permission check, then yeah, we can bypass that.

Really? I missed that. Is that in a thread somewhere?
I have the Samsung Ativ S Neo from Ssprint.

There are a number of threads about Internet Sharing and about registry tweaking. The requirement for tethering to be enabled on your account is checked by a mobile operator-specific DLL that is used by ICSSVC (the Internet Connection Sharing SerViCe). There's a registry value that tells the phone what DLL to load, or whether to load any. If you don't tell it to use any, it defaults to assuming you have access.
There are a number of ways to make registry changes on your phone. You can flash a custom CSC (not a full ROM, though if you look for "custom ROM" on the dev&hacking subforum, you'll find stuff about it), or you can edit the registry directly using a hijacked app chamber, or you can interop-unlock (itself requiring a registry edit, so you probably need to use the chamber hack unless you're on an old version of Samsung's firmware) and unblock RPC, then use the RPCComponent.

I followed and did everything posted in these but I'm still not sure if there was a solution for s print.
"and unblock RPC, then use the RPCComponent. " I think this is the part I need to be educated on.

That is one (of several) methods for editing the registry. It can write more places than the other methods, but only works on Strings and Integers (DWORDs) and is only usable on Samsung phones. It requires that your process have ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES, which many OEM apps (and some first-party ones, like Skype) have, but which is not normally available to sideloaded apps.
"Unblock RPC" is the term we use for telling a Samsung service that it's in test mode by placing a file named "Non-production errors.txt" in the Documents folder of the phone. This will allow using RPCComponent anywhere in the registry, instead of just in a few specific places. Search for "unblock rpc" to learn more.
RPCComponent is a Samsung-provided native (C++/CX) DLL and WINMD for accessing various privileged functions by means of a high-privilege RPC (Remote Procedure Call) server. It is not publicly available but is bundled in many of Samsung's OEM apps and is available on this forum inside most .XAP files intended for use on Samsung phones (such as my own BootstrapSamsung tool; see the interop-unlock thread). As mentioned above, you need ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES for it to be useful.

I interop-unlocked (all-capabilities) my phone using methods you've posted. This was earlier in the year sometime.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54929482&postcount=13
I followed this closely but didn't see any finality.
I just added the Non-production errors.txt in the place noted on that relative thread.
Not sure what to do next.
Forgive me if I am being a bother.

Yeah i'm completely lost. The EnableAllSideloading XAP won't deploy for me (The manifest could not be loaded and may not be valid) so I can't even full unlock, and I have no clue how to go about using the MBN creator. So if you could hold my hand, I'd love it....
okay so I figured out MBN creator (kinda) but I still need to know the proper reg settings to disable the carrier authorization check.... i.e. the setting that points to the carrier specific DLL you mentioned...
EnableAllSideloading doesn't work on WP8.1 because they changed the security on the registry key where it operates. If you can't sideload it, that's because you're not interop-unlocked at all.
MBN Creator should, in theory, not require any particular customization unless your operator requires it; the *default* state of the Internet Sharing feature is "no restrictions, enabled by default". Several people have reported that IS started working after they flashed a custom CSC even though that CSC had nothing to do with IS, just because it removed the carrier-specific customizations that were present (and were blocking IS from working) before.
@tdecision10: If you are or were able to capability-unlock, then you can just sideload any registry editor tool you want and use that. Some of them are better than others, of course. A handful of apps, like WPTelnetD (https://github.com/FurballTheGreat/WPTelnetD/releases), ship with almost no capabilities so that they can be sideloaded on any phone, but you could unpack the XAP and edit the capability list before installing if you want to. A capability that gives access to the relevant registry key is ID_CAP_RUNTIME_CONFIG.

Okay, I put Pasquiindustry CustomPFD on my pc unzipped it added that capability in the WPAppManifest. xml file, rezipped it but now it won't deploy.
Did I think it was too simple?
EDIT:
For Spr int, I think I need to figure out how to do this:
TetheringNAIConnection
Optional. Specifies the CDMA TetheringNAI Connection Manager cellular connection that internet sharing will use as a public connection.
If a CDMA mobile operator requires using a Tethering NAI during internet sharing, they must configure a TetheringNAI connection and then specify the connection in this node.
Specified connections will be mapped, by policy, to the internet sharing service. All attempts to enumerate Connection Manager connections for the internet sharing service will return only the mapped connections.
The mapping policy will also include the connections specified in the DedicatedConnections as well.
(This is the error I get)
If the specified connections do not exist, internet sharing will not start because it will not have any cellular connections available to share
Anyone know how to add this to the APN settings?
-tdecision10
well, i reverted to 8.0 and then updated to 8.1 via retail without thinking.... so i got the new firmware and took myself out of the game :crying:
edit: reverted back to 8.0 again and i have the old firmware again. i think using the mbn creator is key. with older versions of windows phone, the APN settings were all built into the rom. now they are provisioned OTA. everytime i change the CSC, the device fails the authorization check with sprints servers and the device doesn't provision itself. what we need is the provxml that contains all of sprints APN settings. I used to have this information in a kitchen for WM 6.5, but sadly, I deleted it a long time ago. i can currently do one thing or another, unlock internet sharing but have no data connection, or, have a data connection with internet sharing locked. i believe that i can make a custom CSC with all the necessary edits but I need to get my hands on the correct sprint provxml first. I've tried and tried to find an old kitchen for Sprint with the correct files in it, but because it's so old most of them are dead download links. I think even a stock RUU for the GOLD_C (Sprint's HTC Arrive) would do. If anyone has this or can track it down I think we'd be in business....
@GoodDayToDie thanks for all the input, it's really helpful. I think that most people have found success by simply changing their CSC because their phones are not CDMA. we've got all these extra restrictions that keep the technology from working automatically
also, i believe that if I could manage to somehow get my MSL unlock code, I could manually program the APN. problem is, CDMA Workshop can't read it, and the free version doesn't let you use the brute force option to find it. Sprint changed their policy in October to under no circumstances giving out the MSL code unless your contract is up. I'm going to continue to keep trying different tech support reps to see if I can get one of them to give it up.
@tdecision10 I'm getting close, but I REALLY need those WM 6.5/7 Sprint OEM packages..... if you know of anyone or come across it browsing it would be immensely helpful!
mtstmp, I have leadpoizon's old rom for HTC Arrive. Let me know if that will work and if so, how to get it to you.
