Hi, just got my Epic Touch, coming from the Epic 4G.
Every time I try to setup my Exchange email, I get the error:
Setup Could Not Finish
Activation Failed. Unable to connect to network. Try again with the network provider's default APN.
Same error 3G, 4G, or WiFi. I didn't think CDMA phones even had APN's?
Found some related stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098806&page=4
No solution that works. Spent 2 hours on the phone with Sprint, who were very nice, but had no solution. They are checking with higher ups and Samsung.
I don't have a lot of hope here, may be taking this phone back tomorrow when my insurance replacement arrives.
Thanks for any help you might have!
I've been getting the SAME error today.
I've been getting the same error since yesterday after flashing StarBurst 1.6. Having thought that was the problem I reverted back to the stock ROM and am still having the same issue.
I was on the phone with sprint for 45 minutes and they recommended I go to a retail store to have it diagnosed.
Other users in the Starburst Dev thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18480495&postcount=2067) reported similar issues and some were able to fix it by restoring app + data for Email 3.0.0.1. Trouble is I don't have a backup of this, so if anyone could be so kind as to provide that, it would be much appreciated.
Call Sprint
Everyone who is having this issue, please call Sprint, so they do something about this!

Have you rooted your phone or installed a custom ROM, or is this a brand new untouched device?
same exact problem here. started occuring after i flashed starburst 1.6
Are you guys all running rooted and alternative roms? I am and had the same issue last night. I deleted the email app and cache and the restored it from a previously made titanium backup of the email app. I only restored the app. Then I went back and restored the data. Doing app and data at the same time did not work for me. I am currently pushing two exchange accounts a 2 gmail accounts. Working fine for me.

I am currently running [ACS][Odin]Completely Stock EG30 with the EG30Plus Kernel. I came from StarBurst 1.6, however removed it immediately because Active Sync wasn't working for me and I thought that ROM was causing the problem. I did not make any backups of the email app or data prior to flashing this ROM so I do not have anything to restore from.
Oh, and if it helps.. I am pushing a gmail account with no problem.
Would it be possible for you to make a backup of this so we I try restoring it? It sounds to me like that is what the solution is..
I would post the apk or the TBackup but I am unsure where the email accounts are stored. I don't want to give a bunch of people my email accounts.
I suspect that when they built that rom they based it off a GSM Galaxy S2 and they forgot to switch out the email client. APN is require for a GSM phone to access the network. Check back with the Rom Dev.
Maybe some one can pull the email.apk from the unmolested stock image thats posted in the developers section.

That makes complete sense! I know it's a bit much to ask, but would you be willing to remove your email accounts temporarily and make a separate backup of the email.apk? I can PM you with my work credentials to set up an account with if that would help.
I'd be very appreciative as I need Exchange on my phone for work. I'm on the verge of going back to my Palm Pre until I get this resolved!
I was doing some playing around, sorry but the apk from the back up has the same issue. It's the restoring of the data that fixes it. Even after the data has been restored, I can delete the email accounts and manual recreate them and they work fine.
Darn! had it working, but not sure how...
Hi guys,
I have been battling the "Activation Failed: unable to connect to network" problem on my Epic 4G Touch (SGS2) since last night (after flashing starburst 1.6).
I was excited that I got exchange to work again after formatting system, data, cache, then wiping factory data and dalvik, then reflashing starburst 1.6.
I got some voicemail errors, so i decided to try and re-flash again, and also to see if exchange would still work. After re-flashing the same way, Exchange doesnt work anymore. I repeated again just to be sure and still didnt work.
I guess I dont know how i got the exchange active sync problem to go away the first time. Maybe it was just dumb luck.

I PM'd PhantomHacker and he told me that it is a known issue with this ROM and it will be fixed. I was able to get things working again by flashing [ACS][Base Rom]Stock Rooted Odex & Deodex until the mail application in StarBurst is functional again. I haven't tried it, but you may have luck using the StarBurst Minimal AOSPmod that was released last night since it has the AOSP Email client on it.
ok, got it working again.
Hi again,
OK, I just got it to work again, and it wasn't all the fancy reflashing that fixed it.
I have re-flashed several times to try and fix this problem and I noticed that after reflashing, my security pin is still active from my previous flash. I remembered that i had removed the pin before flashing the first time also.
I went into Settings -> Location and Security -> Change screen lock -> none. Then I was able to setup Exchange active-sync without getting the error.
I hope this works for others!
My voicemail problems I mentioned (error V30) went away by itself after about 30 minutes.
It's not a password problem if it was it would say invalid ID or password. It goes through the process of signing in then it says Process failed.
findmymobile.samsung.com is able to RING MY DEVICE but I an unable to get past "This phone has been locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that was previously used on this phone." Is there any hope for this phone? Knox is tripped because the phone had previously been rooted.
problem solved
I Odin back to 5.0.1-N910VVRU2BPA1 and was able to sign in to remove Reactivation lock then I upgraded to 6.0.1-N910VVRU2CQF2. The ROMs I use came from SamMobile
How did u upgrade and does this remove reactivation lock?
I have tried flashing rom marshmallow but I can't still remove reactivation lock but am able to login using my credentials. ..if I upgrade through OTA Will I be able to remove d reactivation lock my phone is note 4 910h
Reactivation lock, need samsung account - solved
I ran into this "This phone is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to he Samsung account that was previously used on this phone to confirm that it belongs to you." error and found that on putting bad username/credentials in 5x in a row, Samsung mailed a password reset message to the google account initially used when the phone was new (there never was a "samsung" account). In our case it was a forgotten seldom-used years old email, but the message forwarded to the current address, the password was changed and we were on our way.
The stupidest thing was I did a Samsung tech support call, dropped the phone off at their factory service center to have this fixed, had them return it as not fixable, and they never mentioned this rather simple solutions. Works fine if the phone is really yours or you can contact it's original owner.
Then I decided to update marshmallow and ran into the next problem and now it's busted again .... oh well.
Hey everybody. I have googled a lot now but have not found an answer to my issue. I got an old phone from the company I work for to use as a personal phone for my child. The issue is that the phone was not resetted properly after taking it away from an employee and now when I want to set it up for my daughter there is a google message: "This phone was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device". The issue is that the phone has been stuck in a drawer for a few years and no one remembers even who it belonged to. I thought I had the right person and we tried logging it in and at some point it even seemed that it worked but later on I still get the same message. I have gotten an ok from the company to do what I want with the phone (root, hack etc) but I really do not know anymore even know how to start. Tried flashing twrp through odin and recovery, did not work, got some error 21 or smth.
Has anyone good info how to fix it?
Thank you so much!
Hi Tanel what version is it on 520FXXUGCTKA?
Hello,
Exactly.
My note 8T recently updated its firmware to 12.5 or higher (don't even know, last I looked I was on 12) and now I cannot get passed the lockscreen. I never have set a password, but a 7 digit pin code and fingerprint scan... since the update it's asking for a password and I don't know what it is as I never set one. I've tried my gmail account password etc and still no access.
I had hoped to access the phone via pcsuite.mi, do a backup and reset the phone.. but it seems the phone is not being picked up.
Anyone else had this issue? how did you solve it?
If anyone has a link to a pcsuite.mi that works on note 8T it would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hello,
I'm currently facing an issue with my MDA Vario V. I'm stuck on the setup screen of Windows Mobile 6.1, the phone freezes at completion. I want to restore it, but the official German T-Mobile ROM is not available anymore. The Hard_SPL method is not working in 2023.
This is the old link for the ROM I'm looking for:

Another user had the same issue a decade ago, here is the link of the thread:

If someone is willing to help me, please reply on my post. I'm trying to figure things out for weeks but had minor success. I know this phone is obsolete and about 15 years old, but I still have a sweet spot for such devices and really want it working again.
Update: I also called Telekom (former T-Mobile), they already removed all documentation and couldn’t help me either.
I let the phone “finish” the setup for about 2 days now. Still no success. On reboot I’m sometimes able to bug it out and enter the message / mail / settings app, but it freezes there too.
Regards,
Keigo
When trying to load an image from the SD card, I also get the "no Image File!" error. Probably due to the lack of Hard_SPL.
