Get internet sharing and MMS working on unlocked Rogers (and AT&T?)

I finally got my internet sharing and MMS working on my unlocked Rogers Lumia 900 running on Bell. Earlier this week, I came across this page. http://forums.wpcentral.com/lumia-900/197920.htm. If you follow his instructions (minus the unplugging the cable during the rom flashing), you should have working internet sharing and MMS without having to input any APN settings. The first time I started it with the TelCel rom, I still had to input my APN to get data to work. Then I performed a hard reset by holding volume down, power, and camera buttons. After that, it picked up the correct settings from the sim card and everything works as it's supposed to. The only downside to some people is that now instead of showing "LTE" in the status bar, it shows "4G" and instead of "4G" when you are on the HSPA network, it shows an "H". I think this is a truer representation of the network you are on anyways since HSPA isn't a true 4G network like the American companies would have us believe.
Please note that if you are going to do this, you will lose any unsynced data on your phone and will also have to reinstall all your apps so backup what you need to.

Seems interesting. I will wait for the 7.8 version to come out. I wouldn't want my phone to be stuck at 7.5 for some reason after trying this.

If for some reason it doesn't update to 7.8, you could always just flash the stock Rogers rom back to your phone and then get 7.8.

Have no problem with 4G, sharing and MMS on original AT&T firmware (using my lum with Europe operators).

Could it be a SIM card flag that prevents the sharing, the euro ops SIMS dont have it
Could it be a SIM card flag that prevents the sharing, the euro ops SIMS dont have it but the NA ops do?

May be, may be... But I had problem too with this features, when it worked on a 1st firmware (flashed by AT&T, not by me). Then I decided to flash it on my own via Care Suite (had flashed the earliest firmware, then updated via Zune). Now it works without any problems. After flashing try to not use the Nokia's Network Setup. If sharing would be OK, you could install NNS on your choice

It works for me after doing a hard reset with t) mobile, if I run NetworkSetup then it stops working. If I insert my att sim then it also stops working.

One more datapoint...
Recently unlocked, using Taiwan Cellular unable to tether.
Before installing Network Setup receive message: no data connection found...
After installing Network Setup, "to enable tethering on this device, go to att.com...".
Same SIM card in HD7 allows internet sharing... no problem. So it's not the SIM.
On HD7, data connection shows "H" but on Lum900 showing "4G"... (not a problem, just observation)
Have hard reset with Taiwan SIM, no joy. Reflashed using Nokia Care Suite... same results.
1. It's clear, stay away from Network Settings app. Even overriding APN settings results in same bogus ATT message.
Any point in flashing a pre-8779 rom? One of the TelCel MX or Claro LTE roms?
To flash another RM808 carrier's rom on top of an ATT RM808 device, is it a straight flash with NCS or need to rename files?

[Q] Problem with phone already activated on VERIZON INC2

Dear All
first of all, sorry for my bad language.
my problem started when i purchased an used Inc2 from swappa, i am expert in flashing ROMs for HTC phones.
when i got the phone, i s-off, installed recovery and installed custom ROM supports GSM, as i am living outside USA, and everything was good (GSM and data)
one day, suddenly the phone was not able to get a H data, only E, so i decided to factory reset to solve the problem, i return to stock ROM using RUU, then when i turn it on for the first time i discovered that its still connected to verizon Network and gave me a roaming signal, i know nothing about verizon network or how to disconnect my phone from their service.
don't tell me to contact the original owner, because i purchased this phone more than one year ago and i totally forgot from whom i toke it.
THE MAIN PROBLEM NOW, every time i insert my local SIM, the phone switch from roaming mode (CMDA) to global mode (GSM), which is OK, but when i receive or make a call, it restarts automatically !!!!
i had tried all the ROM, RUU, radios in the development section, with no hope, so, i think the problem is occur from the conflict between CMDA signal an GSM signal!!!???!! or something else, so i guess the first thing i have to do is disconnect the verizon service, BUT HOW?? somebody please help me

any thoughts folks?

Can you post your phone's settings, mainly the ones under "About Phone" including kernel, mobile network type, service state & software information, etc.?
With a local Sim card, it is possible that you device would boot up & switch to Global Mode (by default) with preference for CDMA, but you should be able to manually change it & semi-lock it to GSM only? What happens when you tried that?
There is a # of GSM only Rom that you can flash, assuming you've rooted it again & maintained S-Off with a custom recovery re-installed - and, that it was properly Sim unlocked.

Im on GSM with chilly's beanstalk 1.30 (4.2.2) and I have no problems, check if a wipe with antivenomSDW, helps.

Electrify M (XT901) possible radio capabilities

Hey whats up xda. As some of you know the Electrify M as the sister phone to the Razr M. Ive used this phone for the past couple of months on PagePlus and just figured I'd start messing around with it to possibly be able to use it on tmobile/att. In the last 2 days Ive made some progress using a tmobile sim card. It picked up signal but wasn't successful with calls, text or data. I didnt have enough time to fully test it since its my brothers sim but at the moment have a simple mobile sim for testing which for a briefly picked up signal when attempting to register on the network and display (network with limited service found) and not finish afterwards saying something similar to (service not available please try again later). Well now when I try to search for the network on simple mobile card attempts are unsuccessful and displaying (network unavailable). It only displays the phone number and voicemail icon at the moment. I'm currently trying to detect network on simple mobile again and go from there. T-mobile sim belongs to my brother so I'll prob go pickup a prepaid sim soon to test. It still displays signal on lte13/lte14 when tmobile sim inserted but still no signal the active simple mobile micro-sim which I read people have had trouble registering on the network sometimes. If I get anywhere Ill post it in development until then I have to get my post count up to do so.

What did you do to get it to pick up a signal at all?
I've done the 8322 NV edit and tried both GSM/WCDMA and Global modes by going into *#*#4636#*#*. Phone is stuck on "Searching for Service". Even tried a few build.prop edits and using build.prop from my RAZR M. No luck there either. I've tried flashing XT907 modem, also erased modemst1 and modemst2. I also tried with and without flashing XT907's fsg. I don't know what fsg is, but the FXZ always flashes modem, fsg, then erases modemst1 and modemst2. No luck there either. Can't even turn on the radio with the modem FW from XT907.
The fact you managed to get it to show a signal bar at all is further than I got.

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
I also did:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
Because that's what the fxz does.
Didn't work for me though. No signal, can't do *#*#4636#*#*, can't get into Status in About Phone, can't get into Mobile networks in Wireless & networks, Baseband version says UNKNOWN. Maybe I got a bad download? It did seem unusually fast. My MD5 sum is C3F9B3BAD2D5454C4E6D6F7803136567.
UPDATE: Downloaded official Aussie FXZ and flashed modem_signed. Same thing. Either there's more to it, or guy that suggested it is trolling.

I found it in an old tmobile hack thread I think.

[Q] Device won't connect to any network

Hi, I have an SGH-I747M that was originally purchased through Bell. In an attempt to unlock to make it work on Koodo, I went through SamMobile (after reading there was no way to unlock post 4.3 OTA update) and that seemed to half work.They resell a service from 123unlock.nl which is a client that uses adb or something of the sort to mess with phone files. The program afterwards said "Your phone is now unlocked! However if you don't see any carriers you need to do something in the advanced option and pay another $2x.xx dollars to do so". I didn't feel like giving them any more money at this point because I was upset that what I originally paid for didn't work properly. The fix was apparently an option in the advanced options that was an NVM repair/rebuild or something of the sort. I should have screenshotted the issue but of course didn't.
Now, the phone will boot up and does not offer me a SIM unlock option anymore. When searching for carriers it will ever only find Rogers for some reason. It won't recognize Koodo or Telus or anything of the sort (or bell when my bell SIM is in). Every now and then when it boots up, it will successfully send a text but only within a 5-10 second time frame after boot (I've made 1 phone call as well for 3 seconds). I've tried the Koodo SIM in my own Nexus 5 and works fine so the network is okay at least (plus I called Koodo and they verified on their end things look good... if that makes a difference). The SGS3 won't even accept an original Bell SIM at this point. It's always on either no network, 1 bar or full bars, never anything in between. I've tried flashing different ROMs from Bell stock to Koodo stock and CM11 and it won't work no matter what I do. Under all ROMs it pops up an "ME Returned temporary error" message on the screen.
I'm hoping someone might have seen this issue before or know what's going on with the phone that I can fix. I'm assuming it's something to do with the modem part of the phone that's refusing to connect to carriers but I'm at a loss to fix it. I haven't tried flashing different modems on it yet because I'm unsure which one would be a good fix and no one has had roughly the same issue I could find in 3 days of Googling for this issue. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Can you check your phone's settings => About Device and let's know what parameters you have there (Android Version, Baseband Version, Build Number>.
You mentioned you can send text or make call within a limited time frame. Was that with the Koodo SIM or the Bell? If the former, it would suggest the phone is unlocked to some extent but you are probably experiencing a baseband failure or need to correct the APN settings. Did you also try doing a factory reset?

The information you're asking for is attached.
The texts I got off were from the Koodo SIM. I have updated the APN as well, and I did do a flash back to stock resetting all settings through Kies emergency update. I found a little trick where if you softbrick it by trying to flash 4.1, it'll give you the "Please use kies" error and that'll take you back to full stock 4.3. I'm pretty sure the baseband failure is the option I need to explore but at this point I don't know where to go to fix this.
Edit: I read this online and tried it: "The 4.3 update introduces a "security feature" which requires carrier- or region-locked phones to be activated once on the original locked network before the unlock code will work." The phone didn't recognize any network with the Bell SIM in except "EXT" which I've never heard of before and it did not connect properly so that didn't work. I also read that inputting #7465625*638*# will give me the Samsung SIM unlock menu which it did however I don't think the issue here is with the root and I'd hate to pay $50 at this point to have that not work as well.

It's unlikely to be the regional lock as this feature means your phone will work with compatible networks in the region but not in other regions. You may, however, run Chainfire's Region Lock Away to be sure <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551>
Your firmware settings look OK so I'd be doubtful about a corrupted modem. You may still try to re-flash the modem via custom recovery. Download link for the CWM flashable zip is available here ... http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973552
The guys who sold you the original code seem to have sold a dud as there is no reason for them to be asking for secondary payments and this sounds like the footprint of a regular scam. I'd be surprised though as they seem to be well rated

I've tried reflashing the modem and I've actually paid $50 for the unlock code from Bell, the original carrier. I used the code to get the network unlock menu and inserted the code. I still get between 1-4 bars now with no network access on either network. It's not showing anything except Rogers still in network operator selection.
Any ideas at this point? It refuses to connect to any networks. I'm out of options.
Edit: I don't know if this makes a difference, but when I do root explorer I can't actually find the nv_data.bin file. It doesn't have anything of the sort in the /efs folder.

Please let me understand a few things ... when you first acquired the phone, was it working normally on Bell prior to the first unlock attempt or you never used it at all until you tried Koodo? Secondly, was the unlock code you got from Bell identical to the one you got from the online service?
I'm trying to establish if it is a case of hardware failure not reported by the previous user especially if you bought it pre-owned from the secondary market. If you are not sure of the previous usage history, it could be a faulty or disconnected antenna which may require professional service. On the other hand if you are sure it was working fine prior to the unlock attempt, try the following ...
1) From the dial pad, enter *#197328640#
2) [1] UMTS
3) [1] DEBUG SCREEN
4) [8] PHONE CONTROL
5) [6] NETWORK LOCK
6) [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF
7) Press Menu => Back button and go all the way back to Step 3) above
8) [6] COMMON
9) [6] NV REBUILD
10) [1] NV REBUILD
Reboot and restart and let's see if this does it.

I've got a similar symtom different scenario (sister in-laws phone). I was also only able to see Rogers network on a search. I've got Telus version. It was working fine until it was brought to the Philippines, got unlocked there and brought back to Canada.
I was only able to see Rogers network until I went into the Service Menu (similar to above) and found the option to change the band. I changed it to Automatic. After that I was able to see Telus network. When trying to connect/register it would take a long time and give me an error "Unable to connect, try again later". I still need to do more troubleshooting, but that might be something to look at.
Note: Phone has stock MOD ROM, rooted and unlocked.

Radio issues among others

Could use some help. I've purchased a HTC 10 Sprint version on ebay. The seller said "This device is LOCKED to the Sprint network and cannot be unlocked to any other network." I did some research and felt this was inaccurate so bought it anyway. Then I proceeded to unlock bootloader, s-off, and SIM unlock using sunshine. I then installed stock WWE HTC rom. Everything seemed to work well except the cell radio. When I go into airplane mode the cell radio never turns off. I've gone into the dialer and inputed the code to view the radio info and when i press the turn off radio button, nothing happens. Additionally in the battery history the cell signal shows red even during the time i'm in airplane mode, meaning the radio is still on and going into airplane mode, in the settings page, the notification gets stuck on "airplane mode Turning on...".
Dunno what the issues is. Do i have the wrong firmware, radio, or is the radio simply dead? This is the only issue i have but as you can imagine, it's a pretty significant one. What I'd like is to have an unlocked stock ROM that allows me to change SIMs on demand once every 2 months or so as I have on my old htc m7. Any ideas? Could really use some help here. I'm at a loss. Definitely rusty as I haven't modded in like 2 years or so, but this is a new issue i haven't had before. Any help would be appreciated.

In case this helps. I started with

MID: 2ps640000
Then changed to SuperCID and MID 2ps620000
(bootloader) kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_pmeuhl

Should I be trying different radios, different firmware? No idea.

If you have some time to spare, erase the modems in bootloader:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
Then install the Unlocked US rom downloaded from HTC - nowhere else. Get one for US Unlocked (AT&T or T-Mobile) or get one for your listed carrier.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
Then do a factory reset.
Restart and see if the radio problems are gone.

Why AT&T or T-Mo? US Unlocked would be the best choice, and there is an RUU for that in your link.
Before you do that though @vijn, you'll have to change your MID to 2PS650000 of course

Thanks for your help guys. I erased the modems. Installed the only unlocked ROM available (http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10/news/) . There's definitely a difference. While I don't have a working SIM card in the phone, the Cell Network Signal is drawing much less power than before. I still can't turn off the cell radio. But now I have the option of selecting which preferred netwrok I want, which before was grayed out. So it's progress. What bothers me is:
1. I still can't turn off the cell radio with airplane mode or by clicking the Turn Off Radio button when accessing the phone info via *#*#4636#*#*
2. Airplane mode, when i toggle it in the settings "page" doesn't finish turning on. It goes gray, and says Airplane mode turning on... and stays like that until i exit the settings page and return to it. But it seems airplane mode works aside from turning off the cell radio.
3. The mobile data toggle doesn't work. It stays in the toggled on position but shows in gray, but at the same time says disconnected because the radio was turned off.
When I click on it, I do have access to the Preferred network and other options, so, I assume that's a good sign. Just not sure why the other stuff isn't working as it should. Any ideas?

Would bet a nickel that 60 seconds after inserting a live, working sim card for your preferred carrier, all these items will be resolved.

Never even occurred to me, but yeah........
Nice catch if he doesn't have one in already

Nah, it's not the SIM card. I tried a card that works, from AT&T and it doesn't even recognize that there's a SIM in the phone at all. And there was no other impact on the phone (ie. airplane mode working properly, etc.) I think the issue is with the phone itself. I think, unless you can provide some alternative point of view, that this is a hardware issue. The SIM tray/card issue is apparently quite common for the HTC10. I think I just got unlucky. What do you guys think?

If a good sim card didn't cure this, then likely it's a hardware issue as you suspect.
eBay's return/refund program is great. Write up a little synopsis about the problems, then
contact the Seller thru eBay and tell the story to start the process. Refund in a week or two.

Ok, this is definitely software. The seller stated on his page that "This device is LOCKED to the Sprint network and cannot be unlocked to any other network." Now, I never heard of a so called- hardlocked HTC 10 version, so I got it anyway. But I'm wondering if indeed this is what it is, because I've reverted to the Stock Sprint RUU and have the Sprint inactive SIM card in the tray and EVERYTHIGN works as it should. Airplane mode, all toggles, etc. Of course I can't get mobile data because the SIM is inactive, but it's working exactly as it should. So, my question is, is it actually possible that this phone cannot be used on any other network no matter what software/firmware is used. I have a really hard time believing that but I've tried a number of RUUs, including a custom ROM called Maximus and all have the same issue, SIM not recognized, radio not being able to be turned off, high battery usage due to the radio. Does this make sense? The original MID was 2PS640000, which doesn't really show up anywhere on the net. I could really use some context here. I need the phone to be unlocked because I won't be in the US for the next couple years, so.. If it's locked to Spring for real, then I gotta send it back. Any thoughts. Would love to solve this mystery.

Another question is, is it possible this is a CDMA only version? Would HTC even make one for the US market that is only CDMA from a hardware standpoint? That's the only thing i can think of. Maybe the actual radio chip is CDMA only and that's why it didn't recognize a GSM SIM. Is that possible? Why the hell in this day and age would there be a CDMA only phone when even Sprint offers LTE? Reading up on it, apparently for Sprint, some OEMs use the SIM for LTE and the ESN controls any other protocol. I'm starting to think this could be too problematic if my plan is to switch carriers from country to country as I travel as the phone seems locked to CDMA with only LTE via the SIM, meaning wherever I don't have LTE, I won't have network access at all. The difference in price though for an unlocked htc10 is massive. Ugh.

Guys, if you're still around, I have a question. What would be the symptoms if the Sunshine SIM lock hadn't worked? How would that affect the phone? I'm wondering if this is what happened, the despite using sunshine to SIM unlock, that somehow it failed without informing me and I proceeded thinking everything was fine until I encountered all the issues. If the SIM unlock had failed, would that cause the phone to not recognize a SIM card? Would it cause the phone runnign different firmware and the new radios, to not "connect" with the Sprint based SIM and radio, causing airplane mode to not recognize what radio to turn off, and causing the battery to drain as the radio ran at full tilt because there were no "drivers" linked to it? I'm starting to think this may have been the issue but wanted to confirm with you guys. I don't know if I should return the phone or try to SIM unlock again. I don't want to pay the extra $25 for another attempt at SIM unlocking unless there's a good chance it'll work, so I figured I'd ask you guys first. Would love your thoughts on this.
Update: For the record, I'm unlocked bootloader and s-off. I've tried running Sunshine again and it tells me I'm s-off and there's nothing to do. So I'm confused as all hell here. What could be the issue?

The only thing Sunshine does is give you S-off, meaning your bootloader security is off. It serves no other purpose so there is no reason to run it again. Sunshine does NOT unlock your SIM, but in many cases S-off is required as part of the SIM unlocking process. There are more steps to SIM unlocking than just simply being S-off.

I think that's it. I think I missed the following steps. I misunderstood and thought Sunshine would unlock the SIM. But I've used the NV method now and hopefully that means the phone is actually SIM unlocked now. Not sure as I don't have a SIM to test with, but I just wanted to thank you. That lil piece of info has helped quite a bit.

Dammit, I can't get this phone to work properly. I'm really confused. Everything works great with the Original Sprint stock rom. I have an inactive Sprint SIM and with the Stock Sprint ROM everything works perfectly. I've used NV and got a success report, which I assume means I'm SIM unlocked. When I install and unlocked Stock Rom, the phone doesn't recognize that SIM at all, meaning it doesn't even know there's a SIM inserted. Additionally, when I try to go into Airplane mode the phone just says turning On but doesn't turn off the radio.
This is what I've done.
Unlocked bootloader
Used Sunshine to S-off
DM On
Installed TWRP
Used NV to sim unlock
Rooted
Installed the stock US unlocked ROM
Then the radio just stays on no matter what I do. I know it's not a hardware issue, or at least I can't see why it would be as on Stock Sprint EVERYTHING works perfectly. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. If I look at the phone info, the IMEI is 0. I'm confused. Anyone have any idea what the issue could be, or what I may have done wrong? This is driving me crazy cause I'm sure this can be fixed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

LOL. As an aside, when I check the battery, since installing the latest RUU, the battery, which isn't charging is showing that it's gaining charge with time, rather than losing it. Never seen this before. I'm sure it's connected to the radio issue. Just found it funny and maybe it'll provide some context.

what happenned? did you find and answer?
