Hi guys, I don't have an Incredible, but I might possibly get one in the morning but it depends? I want to flash to a local carrier here in Cleveland called Revol, does anyone know or is there a guide somewhere on the internet that could help me get the internet setup to work with Revol?
EDITosted in wrong section.

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!!

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
Hi everyone.
I have been looking high and low for a straight answer on this, but none exist. Softbank staff are less then helpful.
So, the situation,
HTC Desire , global unlocked, i believe from hong kong
Softbank Black Sim Card.
I am trying to get this to work and set the APN settings. Im starting to think that when connecting to their network it will detect it as a foreign phone
so, if someone knows, please share how to do the following;
1. Root phone and change settings to register as Japanese mobile
2. Setup APN
if anyone can help that would be great!!
Hey there,
I'm not too exactly sure about your first question, but I *think* I can help you with your second.
Correct me if I am wrong, but you want to set up your APN to Softbank?
If so, you should probably refer to this thread
It basically explains what you need to fill in under your APN fields.
Hope that helps
hey man thanks for the reply
that was the first site i found and doesnt work. it says the apn is configured wrong. would have been gold if it worked, but doesnt. sad....
Sorry about that :/
All is not lost though. I remember when I first got my phone, I was roaming the internet and I found this blog where this Android owner who is/was living in Japan.
Give me a few moments to see if I can find it.
At worse case, you could always contact the owner for his help on his APN settings and the sorts.
Edit: http://www.desire.giesecke.tk/ seems to be the place.
The website contains mods made by the owner on top of custom roms found on XDA. Some (or most) of his ROM mods comes with this "Softbank APN (special Desire version)". Although, if you are not too keen on flashing a ROM over what you have, you could just ask him how he did it.
I hope that helps
wow thats great! i NEED to talk to that guy.
I dont care about rooting, flashing, etc, as long as i can get this bad boy to work.
my friedn is saying it might be a little easier, all i have to do is change the strong name, which i beleive requires rooting.
i am going to try a few things this week i guess and see how we go. I am really going to try and find that one guy though and see if he can help me out in this.
I wish you all the best. Let me know how it goes
So my neighbor gave me their old Windows Phone with surround sound from Cingular, and I paid to have it unlocked so it would work with my T-Mobile sim card. Unfortunately, the marketplace won't work. Can anyone help me figure out how to fix this and get it so I can download apps and games to my phone? Thank you very much!
Cmoooon guys. Please help!!
Try a full reset yet? Phone should stay unlocked once you do. and OFC make sure you have an internet connection
Can't figure out how to do a reset. And yes the internet is on. And the guys from mobile told me that cingular has restrictions on their phones for apps n ****. The guy in The store referred me to this site sayin someone should be able to help me.

So much miss-information and/or lack of it.....
1-Cingular is a dead company...did you mean AT&T?
2-have you been able to log in with your gmail account on your new phone?
3-the guy a the store seems to have faith in this site but it's kind of weird that he was not able to fix this for you.
4-What does the phone do or does not do whenever you try to log in to the market?
5-Are you aware that an AT&T phone will not get full internet service with T Mobile? If so....do you have a data plan with T-Mobile?
Please reply to each one of the questions above so we can help you further.
Cheers,

Hi first off let me start out by saying I am a big newb to this kind of thing the most I have ever done is root a couple of phones and installed a couple of roms a long time ago. I didn't intend on buying my opt g but I was on Craigslist and saw it at a steal of a price so I picked it up. The phone was already previously flashed to cricket (that's what I have) it was on the sprint network before. I activated it when I got home but my data does not work I read up on line and by the looks of it I think there is a fix for this I haven't tested Mms but I will put my money on saying it doesn't work either. Can someone help me get pointed in the right direction to where I can find a tutorial or guide on how to get my data working. I found some stuff but it's for other phones and I didn't really understand the directions and the stuff I found was from 2010 so I'm thinking that's old info. In advance thank you everyone also I don't know if it matters or not but on my cricket plan I have 3g so that's what I am trying to get to work on phone

I think you just need to change the APN's.
Go to Settings->More...->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and select the relevant APN if it is there.
If not, you'll need to find the details for your provider (Google "Cricket APN") and add them to the device (don't forget to save).
Hello, I am in a unique situation. I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 4 version N910VVRU1ANI1. I live internationally and I use the phone strictly for wifi. I have a Gear VR but cannot use it because I can't update. The update needs to be connected to Verizon LTE networks to update. I need to update this phone through any means necessary.I have tried using Kies and Verizon Upgrade assistant but it always says that the phone software is up to date. I think the method I will have to use is to flash it myself. Someone said this was possible but I do not know how to do it or where to download the update online. I am willing to send $10 paypal to any person who can show me how to update this phone or point me in the right direction to update it. I will also name my first child after you.
I am getting desperate. Thank you for any help you might give me. Let me know if you have any questions.
P.S.
A few more additional questions I would appreciate answered if anybody knows:
1) What is the best place to post this question? I also posted this on reddit.
2) What is the exact name of the update? So I can maybe search the internet for the download
3) Is there any hope for me to play Gear VR?
EDIT: Somebody on reddit helped me. The only question I still have is does anybody know when the update will be available for me to download and flash to my device? Thanks
