My friend bought me a tmobile dash from america.I hevw to run the phone on a greek network but it doesnt working.It says the sim is valid?What do i have to do to make it work?
get it sim unlocked for one.
Read this thread
Is this the only way?I mean i have a qtek8310 and i sim unlocked it with the SPV-Services.Can i do the same with the Dash?I dont have a windows xp system at the time and the progrmam doesnt run..Thats why im asking!
Did anyone tested it?
Anyway if this is the only way unlocking the phone whats the price jockyw2001 asking?
If your phone had it working with an American provider, he can call the provider for the unlock code.
If it was straight from a store........find a computer with XP and go thru Jocky.
Not sure how much he asks for.
Can't you ask any off them Ellines to unlock it for you out there?
He changed the provider he doesnt have anymore T-mobile so we cant ask for a code anymore...
Before i ment that SPV-services doesnt run on vista.You must run it on XP system to test it if it can unlock the phone the same way as qtek8310 did.
Oi "Ellines" want a lot of money to do it!Some big mobile phone stores in Greece think that we are stupid...
They want something like 60euros witch is about 80dollars sometimes to make just a sim unlock and i dont trust them!I prefer to do it my way!
Lot of money dont you thing..?
I bought an unlocked HTC touch pro 2 that was with T-mobile.
I have AT&T. My phone works good for calls and text messaging but the data plan does not work.
I called AT&T and they cant help me.
I called HTC..can't help me.
They both said to call T-Mobile and ask them to reset the data options because my phone is trying to read off of the T-mobile options but what that amounts to is that they just don't know what they are talking about.
My friend said this site will have the answer!
Can anyone..please..point me in the right direction on how to set up my phone so I can use the data plan for AT&T or am I screwed??
I am new at this so I don't understand the lingo but..do I need to flash a rom on my phone to kind of wipe it clean of T-Mobile and start fresh or what??
Please help me!!
Ok...I have done some digging on this site and I just wanna be clear. It looks like my phone wont work with the 3g network...and I'm ok with that...but my phone has NO internet at all and thats what I'm trying to fix.It also looks like I can fix my problem...just need a push in the right direction..please??

If you flash a new ROM, they all come with a little program that runs in the begining to provision the phone with this info... Might be easier....
ok..thanks alot..i have the internet now.
one problem..those instructions don't help me with sending or recieving picture messages. I can't follow them to get me to where it fixes that for an htc touch pro 2...any ideas?
Are you looking in the registry at your arcsoft settings?

My understanding is that the T-Mobile phone has different hardware modem. It will not work with the AT & T 3G network. Sorry, there is no way I know of to fix this. The two carriers use different technology for 3G.
However, it should work with the EDGE network on AT&T. You will need tech support from AT&T - ask them what settings need to be entered in the connection manager to get the device to work with EDGE. Your phone has settings for "T-Mobile Data" in the Comm Manager. You need to delete that and enter the AT&T settings.
Also, VERY IMPORTANT, you need to go to the phone screen (where you dial calls), bring up the options, and set it to operate ONLY on 2G networks. Otherwise I think the T-Mobile 3G modem may interfere with your EDGE data.
BTW, have you asked T-Mobile about getting a Tilt 2? This is the same phone. You could resell your unlocked T-Mobile TP2 on ebay and recoup a lot of the costs. This would be the best option, since you could then get 3G coverage.

I would like to do this then...any suggestions on which rom i should use and how to do it..i appreciate all the help
all custom roms should have a provision cab or program. You will need to unlock your phone first. Look in the rom dev section
I flashed my phone with cyanogen mod 7. I couldn't activate because I was no longer on my Alltel network. So I RUU back to my stock ROM and everything is good, except I still can't activate my phone. I'm stuck using my old lg scoop. Can anyone help me out? Do I need to call customer service? And if I do, what do I say to keep them from finding out that I rooted my phone.
This is a replacement phone and I activated it and rooted the day of, but when I flashed, it all messed up so I activated my old phone. I don't know if that makes a difference.
Also, when I try to activate my desire through the Alltel website, I get this message "Unfortunately, there's an error with your request. The ESN/MEID is associated with another wireless carrier, a wireless Internet card, an analog phone, or a non-e911 compliant phone. For assistance, please call Customer Service."
What do you mean by "activate"?
Like dialing *228 and being able to use the phone. Like making calls and such. I had to activate my old phone because my desire was stuck on splash screen, but now that I done the RUU it's fine. I just can't activate it to use it.
You shouldn't need to activate it?... Never heard of this before. Not needed to do anything like that for mine. Have a look around the forums.
+1 what GoogleJelly said. Never heard of such thing.
Sent from my customized HTC Desire using TTP
I did and found nothing. I need to do it because when my desire was stuck on the splash screen i couldn't fix it that day so I activated my old one so i could have a working phone. Now when I try to activate my desire again, I get the above messages.
psiloveyoum0re,
Am I correct in assuming that the phone is not a GSM based phone, rather it's a CDMA based phone ?
Yeah, activation isnt for GSM (Sim Card) phones, only CDMA ones.
That I do know, but how to help - sorry, no idea (we are all GSM here in the UK)..
Yes, correct. It is a CDMA phone.
You can access the Diag mode switch on HTC Arrive by typing ##MFG# (##634#) in the phone app and hit Diag, then enable it. I can connect via CDMA workshop and dump the memory, ESN, MSL, etc. It will turn off Zune syncing while enabled, but otherwise operate as normal.
You can also go to FieldTrial and see things like supported bluetooth profiles, battery voltage, GPS coordinates, Signal levels, and other bits of info I cannot find in the OS.
Not sure what else we can do with this diag mode, let me know if anyone finds anything fun to do with it. Maybe tethering?

Doesn't work on HD7. The dial pad just refreshes (no numbers entered).
On my arrive it bring up a menu with sliders.

Doesn't work on HTC Surround too, same behavior.
htc trophy
On htc trophy doesn't have afunktion
I added in pictures of some of the sliders and output. Maybe it is only a Sprint thing? I still think we can do tethering with this, I am just having a few win7x64 driver difficulties to straighten out. It creates a "HTC Diagnostic Interface" in device manager but it has been flaky in creating an "HTC Modem" port. Get that figured out and tethering should work, on Sprint at least.

Confirmed works on Verizon HTC Trophy. Its probably a CDMA thing

Something I just noticed that may be of use. I couldnt get my computer to see it all at first. I had to download HTC Sync (got the one for the incredible) and it now shows like it does for you with a "HTC Diagnostic Interface" in my ports section.
So then I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929868
which will work if your phone is unlocked (mine is not due to not wanting to pay 100 just for tethering). It seems this diagnostic window is where other phones can access tether and we are using HtcVComV64.sys already. Now we just need it to call HtcUsbMdmV64 and create the HTC Modem as you said before. I think we still would need probably a custom XAP to get it to call which means we would still need the unlock but this menu may make it easier for those unlocked with CDMA to get access or someone may figure how to use this menu for tethering after all.
good luck

Any update on this? Can we make this work with the Chevron Unlock?

Yes I do realize that any talk of this is a little archived but I thought I would give it a shot. On my Htc Arrive as probably many other Htc, you cannot access nor input anything related to sound boosting or increasing, as easily as samsungs and a few others. Has anyone ever figured out how to get to the sound/volume control panel thru the diagnostics. I work construction and the ringers and alarms are a little bit low for me. Actually a lot. I've tried all the reg hacks available and keep coming back to the answer being in the diagnostic mode area. Thank you for your time and any response would be greatly appreciated. thank you
CDMA only i think
on my gsm it also refreshes (7 mozart)
this looks like locked
maybe full unlock should make it accessible with some registry tweaks ?
Hey folks,
I bought an S7 Active from eBay and I'm using it in Ireland. Everything is working fine that I need, but my carrier recently introduced WiFi Calling and upon trying to set it up from the setting menu where it reads
"wifi calling lets you make and receive calls over wifi with your at&t accoumt. when you use wifi calling, information about the country where the wifi connection is made will be sent to your carrier. Learn more about wifi calling (link).
GET STARTED"
I get the following error:
"Wifi Calling activation not successful, try again later"
I rang support for my carrier and they think it's something to do with the handset. They support the S7 and the S7 Edge but as the S7 Active is an AT&T exclusive and appears to have custom AT&T software, it seems like it might be trying to connect to AT&T and it can't?
Also, when I check for software updates, it says AT&T Software Update at the top of the screen, now this doesn't give any errors and it says software up to date, so I'm not sure if this is correct or if there's new software out that it can't connect to update?
Is there any way around this? I know maybe it's possible to ROOT and install a new ROM, but I'd rather avoid that hassle..
Any feedback would be great
I am in the same situation. S7 Active unlocked from EBAY, and using it in Czech Republic with Vodafone sim. Is here chance to get OTA Nougat update?
I'm using one in Canada and flashed the updates described in another thread in this phone's forum. They will reset your phone to factory, but you will have 7.0 nougat and security patches into April, 2017. I doubt any kind of OTA will be forthcoming unless you have an ATT SIM, but I'm not an expert in this at all. I plan on keeping good backups and flashing the updates as they become available. Aside from that, it's a great phone. If they make the s8 active global, then I'll look into getting one some time down the road.
Thanks for the replies. Does the S8 have an active version? I hadn't heard anything on it yet?
so when you flash nougat 7, does it completely wipe and install a new ROM on your phone, or it just updates the AT&T rom, so even with the update, you're still bound to the AT&T settings for updates/wifi calling etc?
Yes, it wipes out the phone completely, you'll have to set it up again. Everything else is same, such as AT&T bloats, wifi calling etc.
Ok thanks for letting me know. So no point I guess if it doesn't solve the issue
I live in Czech Republic. In situation, when I will buy prepaid sim card from AT T, and I will use it in my unlocked S7 Active, it is possible to get OTA Nougat update?
That's not a bad idea, would possibly work for the OTA update, but maybe not if it's not actually connected to AT&T?
It wouldn't work for the wifi calling though I'm sure?

I'm in Edmonton AB, Yes, there will be nothing for updates or WiFi calling if you are not on the ATT network with their SIM.
Which ROM did you update to, the QD4, or past it?
Keep it rolling
I'd love to know more about using the S7 Active internationally from anyone who has been down that road already. In the UK and considering getting one from Ebay but I would immediately want to update it to Nougat and I'm unsure if this will be possible? I have a Mac laptop in the house and would hope to use that to apply any upgrades. Really appreciate any info you guys have!

ODIN is only available for Windows (Vista/7/8/10). You will have to run Wine for just the Odin program or Boot Camp for the full Windows OS in a partition.
Wine is the easiest solution, start there and install the program, USB drivers.

I to am in the UK and purchased a S7 Active from Ebay. The phone came in a sealed box and worked fine. No AT&T logo at startup or bloatware. However when I rebooted the phone after switching of, an integrity error came up which forced me to wipe/erase the phone. I thought maybe a first time glitch but it did it again and all was lost. Had my old S4 Active so persevered and read info on this post to reflash firmware to QB2 using ODIN. Now note this is the first time i have ever attempted anything like this so complete newbie. However all went well and I now have a phone on Nougat. It reboots without error now. But it is now back to AT&T with logo at Startup and US voice for google navigation etc... Google pay now does work though. I am pleased with my results but would love to have firmware that makes it non AT&T specific for use in the UK, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
