Running CyanogenMod-4.2.4 need to activate over wifi

I have successfully flashed my phone with the CyanogenMod-4.2.4 rom, enabled WIFI and can browse the internet.
BUT, when I try to activate my Gmail through the activation wizard with WIFI enabled I get the following error message: “Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.”
I am using a T-Mobile pre-paid account, which means I don't have a data plan, so activation over WIFI is my only option.
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

strange it should work maybe your connection is the prob? Try flashing the rom again.

Frustrating is more like it. I have spent days search this forum and the web for an answer.
I started out with CyanogenMod-4.2.3 installed and I thought that might have been the problem so last night I flashed 4.2.4 and still have the same problem.
I can browse the internet so I have a hard time believing it is a connection problem. I did come across a post earlier this week where someone was having issues with his WPA2 connection. Later today I will change the connection type and see if that fixes the problem.
If you can think of anything else I might try that would be great.
Thanks for the quick reply.

I changed my WIFI settings to WEP and WPA but still got the same error. Any more suggestions would be great.

The problem is probably due to gapps failing
keep trying and maybe it will go through

I finally got it to work and for those who may run across this thread with the same issue here what I did:
I ran across a thread on a different forum that stated the reason I was having the problem was because I skipped the initial activation process when the phone was first turned on. Well with CM4.2.4 and other rooted roms there is an option to skip the initial activation process, which I did.
So I went back and reread the other threads about how to activate your phone over wifi and they all state the same thing, you will need root access, which allows you access to execute debug commands from your PC to control your phone.
So I did a hard reset and re-flashed CM4.2.4. Then after I rebooted my phone I followed the instruction on this thread http://modmygphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9471 to turn on the wifi. Once the wifi was on I disconnected my phone from my computer and proceeded to activate it, which worked like a charm.

[Q] Milestone X720 problem with network.

I've purchased a Milestone X720 for my wife, but I found the internal WiFi to work erratically at best.
It seems like it has no problem connecting to Google.com webpage (also it can sync mails and contacts), but when trying to access any other webpages (bbc.co.uk, espn.com, etc.) using the browser, it's always timing out. I know it's not a problem with my WiFi / internal network / router /internet connection, because I can navigate just fine using my HTC Desire or home laptops.
It worked for a while yesterday afternoon, then this morning wasn't able to connect to any website.
The wifi connection is using DHCP, and it shows a correct internal IP address and an excellent signal level. I don't think there's much more things I can tweak in the phone configuration, or isn't there?
Maybe it is a defective phone? Did someone experienced something like this? Should I return it and exchange it for a new one?
I'd appreciate any help.
Alex.

Actually, I've been having problems with my wifi. My wifi will stop working on any webpage at seemingly random intervals (I used to think it was when it went into sleep, but it happens when it's not in sleep now also). Eventually after restarting wifi so many times it'll glitch up and I have to restart the phone.
Providing your phone's stock (as in you haven't rooted it or the like) I'd recommend going to your carrier about the problem.
EDIT: I just checked through the posts on this board and some guy was having another problem with his wifi (different from both of ours though), he suggested getting WifiPowerSavingOff off the market, I'll try it and tell you if it fixes my problem. The only problem is it requires root access, I don't even know if it will fix your problem so you're better off sending the phone back (especially since rooting voids your warrenty). One other thing you could try is just a factory reset, it sounds like a software problem so that might work wonders, you might have to reactivate your phone afterwards though.

Well, thank you for your response.
WiFi was working OK when I came back from work, but is not working now.
The phone is unbranded unlocked, so I'll probably have to talk to the seller.
I tried to see if there was an update from Motorola, but every time I go to the System Updates it says that it is unable to connect to the server, so there's probably no available update for this phone yet.

If it's unlocked OTA updates (updating through the settings) are probably disabled, because installing OTA updates will make you lose root (I'm assuming your phone also is rooted if it was unlocked by the seller). do you know what baseband your using right now? Also, have you installed rom manager or anything that can make nandroid backups?

I might be wrong, but I don't think it's rooted, I think it's just the way it's sold, SIM free and unlocked from factory, not by the seller.
Baseband is 3GSMEPU91A_U_91.07.56I

Well if you wanna double check, just look to see if a superuser permissions app is installed (if you don't find one it's not rooted), I never knew they sold them unlocked (although I'm in the US... so I doubt they do here). All I can say is to try a factory reset then, if that doesn't work then talk to the seller. It sounds like more of a software problem since Google works.

In the end it seems there is some kind of incompatibility between the phone and my WiFi router (a Belkin G). Yesterday I managed to borrow another WiFi router (Netgear) and it works flawlessly when connected to this AP.
I will keep testing during the weekend but I'm pretty sure this was the cause.
Thanks Shiny for your help.

Hi. I picked up a milestone via Ebay two days ago and had similar wi-fi issues. After reading a number of forums I discovered that the problem lay with my router - Siemans Gigaset SE587 (Tiscali). The wireless channel or regulatory domain was set to auto channel 1. I think this confuses the phone so with the help of the router manual I disabled auto and reset it to channel 13.
Wi-fi works flawlessly now and it hasn't affected my other devices. The link below might help.

[Q] Extending Wifi

First of all I'd like to apologize if this question has been answered.
I did do some searching around but didn't quite trust my finds since they we're on different phones/forums/etc.
My question is:
Is there any possible way to use my phone as a Wifi Extender or something similar?
I am trying to find a way to use my phone as a temporary "mimic router" for use on a different device.
My problem is the device I want to connect only accepts WEP, but I don't want to mess with my current router settings just for 1 or 2 devices.
Can my T-Mo Moto X be used as an extender.

Why not just use wireless tether? I think that should be sufficient. also I'm sure you know but making your phone tether or an access point kills the battery. You should just bite the bullet.. upgrade those wifi settings!! lol

I only have this phone for calls, barely got any Data service on it, maybe 500mb. I got a SGH-T989 also looking into making that as a temp "router"

I see. hmmmm.... well a quick google search just showed me some potential solutions for you. maybe give those a read and maybe you'll have your answer
p.s. some android phone can USB tether a wireless network they're connected too when a SIM card is removed or if you place a non working SIM card in.
Hope you get those devices connected! :laugh:

T-Mobile auto block

Hello everyone I was wondering if it were possible to be blocked from tethering. I've read all the posts on how to reenable it, and even tried the WiFi tether router app. It all worked but suddenly two days ago while I was searching the net on my laptop, the T-Mobile upsell page popped up and hasn't left since. I've tried unrooting and relocking the phone then rerooting it. I've tried stock rooted and chroma custom ROM. Any help is appreciated

so ive seen youve used your tethering allotment. every tmobile "contract" comes with tethering included to them, besides for prepaid. its unlimited tethering for the limited plans, and 3.5gb tethering for the unlimited high speed data option. nothing like what you have done will do anything. i use the tether router app, as tmobile doesnt see me tethering when i use it. theres also an option for a build.ptop edit that will help as well.

That's what I'm saying. I've done that to where they saw me as using my data and not my tethering. For me now it doesn't work anymore. The build prop edit nor the app nor the sqlite settings.db route

Maybe they're getting clever. In the uk they use deep packet analysis to find out where the packets are coming from.

that happens. before any hacks were available, i tethered my whole home internet, until google caught on. then i used their legal tethering for a few years. last year i started using the wifi router app, and they havent seen me tethering yet. eventually, theyll catch on again.

Is there no fix to this?

you can try editing your build.prop and any of the other mods(search the n6 or n5 forums).

I already tried I'm thinking They caught on to my account

So they blocked you even with the build prop and SQLite edit? That sucks because I use that and I don't want to be capped when tethering.

Yes they did and I've tried unrooting and rerooting try to fix the problem. I've even used the WiFi tether router app by Fabio Grasso, currently he's trying to help me get it to work. I've been reading around that this is happening to T-Mobile customers though. Haven't really seen any other carriers with this problem.

I wonder how they are checking for tethering and if they are using deep packets as another member suggested. I'm hoping someone will find a work around because after all this is why we have android phones.

Just got off the phone with T-Mobile. It is confirmed that the methods around the tether limit do not work. Once you reach your limit they block you. As for neither method works anymore.

[Q] Flash Lumia 1020?

Hi
I been having problems with using my "internet sharing" on my lumia 1020(keep telling me I need a data connection in order to use this feature....eventhough I do have). I asked around and one person asked if my lumia 1020 was from Rogers Canada which it was. Eventhough my phone is unlocked, this person is saying that the Rom on my phone is still Rogers and it is most likely the reason. He suggested getting rid of the rom, though I am not sure how to do this. I seen some posts here on how to flash but nothing for 1020, I am wondering if there is some guide for the 1020 as I really want step by step guide for my phone as I don't want to screw up.

Do you have the problem with both, wifi and mobile data connections? And did you try by connecting to a PC via USB (= using that connection)?
Also, why shouldn't it work with that particular ROM, did he explain that any further?

How I understand internet sharing works, is that it shuts off wifi and you can only use your data connection. It tries to shut it off and then I get this error ""there's no celluar data connection to share right now. check your cellular settings and signal, and try again"
Even though I can surf the internet before and after that message, so it is not my data connection. This guy thinks said he seen this happen on other phones and the he thinks the reason is that Rogers has like software locked that feature so that it only works with their Sims and that it is reject my Sim from another provider. He thinks that if I would reflash my computer with the Rogers rom then that check would not exist and it would work.
I am not sure what you mean by connecting to to a PC via USB. I can connect my phone to my computer and browse the file system of the phone, I just can't hotspot or really send MMS messages.

Oh, I thought you were talking about a different feature.
Yeah, you create a wifi hotspot from your data connection. What I said doesn't make sense then.
In general, you could also try a hard reset instead of fiddling with ROM, that's way safer. However, you will lose all your data on the device, so make sure you backup everything beforehand.
http://www.hard-reset.com/nokia-lumia-1020-hard-reset.html
I once had an issue with a settings page on my Lumia 800 back in WP7 days. Everything else failed, but a hard reset fixed it.

Is there any backup program to backup like your titles and stuff or will I have to setup all this up. I think my apps are backed up?

I don't know what "Access Point" is. I am trying to use settings -> internet sharing - switching sharing from "off" to "on"
Yes calling works, texting works(besides mms texting which seems to work maybe 50% time)
Yes Data works, I can surf the net, use any data required. Only thing is "internet sharing" thinks it is off.

Search the internet for "Nokia access point app" you will get a link to the windows store to download the app. Download and install it. It fixes internet sharing.

Yea.....I already googled it, as I stated in a previous post my MMS only sends 50% of the time. I tired most of the ones I found on the internet but still not working.

Works for me. Talk to wind and tell them you have an galaxy 3 or some other phone the sell, the them you need your phone reprovisioned (it just means the renew your cell network connection)
