My Faves T-Mobile UK on unbranded handset

I've just tried this and despite the info on Howardforums. The numbers I enter on t-mo.co.uk wont register. Seems we need the Dash cab file or need to use a My Faves handset for initial activation.
H

I think the My Faves cab file (from a T-Mobile US wing rom) is called wispa_PPC_Atlas_Release-2-0-0-0.CAB.
I installed it to have a look, but my Trinity wouldn't start...so a bit stuck really.
H

where can i get the my faves cab file at thanks

If you could be arsed reading my post...you'd have a good idea of the answer. There isn't one for UK atm. If you want the US one...you can get it from the Wing extended rom. Freezes my phone on boot tho.K

T-Mobile shop have no My Faves handsets for me to borrow for 10mins...They've not been sent demo stock apparently.
T-Mobile CCR was very suspicious on the phone and made me sound feel like I was doing something criminal.
Their selection of handsets is poo quite frankly and they haven't bothered to offer software for they're own branded phones. Whole thing is a big brother style scam. There's no reason to have this authorisation style handshake with the installed app on the phone for christ's sake. They won't switch me back to Flext either...tho I have a 7 day cancellation policy in place so I can return upgraded handset (Vario III)...revert to Flext plan then re-upgrade again.
Pain in the buttox!

may i ask if you have been able to get myFaves to work on a non-myFaves mobile please?
thanks a lot

How to Change HTC TYTN II imei?

Hi all,
I really need to change my HTC TYTN II imei. Can anyone help me on this? Is there any software I can get from this forum to change my imei myself? Hope you all can guide me on this.

Changing your IMEI is seriously illegal in several countries.

Why you want to change imei,did you steal it,and you dont want the oparator tracking you.to change imei is ilegal.

Anything in this forum/site that is deemed illegal such as software or hacks will get you banned and the thread removed. Do you understand what the IMEI is used for? I can see if your device got hacked as many places such as Brazil had this problem with the TDMA/CDMA network. GSM is more secure but still not perfect. If you think you got hacked then loose the device and talk to your service provider right away as changing the International Mobile Equipment Identity will not help!
If you are on GSM and use a SIM card, most all wireless providers will not require you to register your IMEI. How many iPhones are in Canada on the Rogers network? And has Rogers nailed anyone for having one? Your SIM is what GSM networks use to ID you and your usage, not the phone. I would not be using an AT&T Tilt if IMEI would black list me from my provider and force me to use one of their (somewhat) outdated and poor selection of full featured phones...

I see an old NES Conrta fan here
I tried that and I still don't have unlimited lives.. er,... minutes on my phone

ya, still play it now and then. I was hoping someone would try this on their phone then post that's it's not working for them.
Which I then would have replied
you must first downgrade your rom to windows mobile 4.9
then upgrade your radio to version 1.66
remove your battery
reinsert your battery
try the code again
..hehe jokes

it wont work if you haven't unlocked first!!!
proevoguy, u must install hardSPL first
after that you must downgrade to WinMobile 4.7
, then search registry for IMEI
if you haven't install hardSPL, the key is hidden
mmm why is this thread is not locked??

People want to change imei doesn't mean he/she is using a stolen phone. I want to change my imei just because I don't want AT&T to know I am using a PDA phone w/ their non-pda data plan

I was actually want the same thing because AT&t's plan for this phone is like 64.99 a month, which is just outrageous.

for those that care, i used an 8525 for 7 months before it broke and att never said a word about the fact that i didn't have a pda plan, when i took the phone in they asked if i wanted to register my new phone with them without changing my plan and it didn't cost me a dime, i was previously on a nokia 6030i as far as they knew

Same for me and Rogers. They had the Motorola 320, and Nokia 6820b in their database. Those 2 I got for next to nothing as I renewed my plan both times. The phone after those, I bought direct from HP as I was outsourced by them and got a good discount when buying the HW6955 (HTC Sable) through them and not Rogers (kept my old plan and the phone was factory unlocked too). Next is my current phone: AT&T Tilt, again bought the phone from some place other than Rogers and kept my old plan. If you got the phone for free or discounted, you will be forced into a new plan and the plan will always match the type of your phone. That is why you never buy from your cellphone provider. My 3 dollar internet plan I added long ago, only covered text based sites which matched my very old Motorola 320 So I axed that 3 dollar service from my plan. The guy was surprised to find out the last 2 phones were not on his list With what our providers have to offer for phones, Canada is way behind everyone else (can you say September for iPhone? And that is a maybe). Rogers added Tytn to their fleet of phones when everyone else was getting ready for the TyTN II. They still offer the original TyTn and still no plans for a Kaiser. We will get the Diamond but only after the rest of the world has warn them out. So in short: buy your phone in full and avoid a contract renewal. In the long run, you will still save money and avoid being put in their database.

yeah. It is very slow in Canada. However, I phoned Fido for their additional $7 dollars all you can browse service plan, it is required to registered your IMEI with Fido. Or I should said it this way, Fido only allows the IMEI on their list to sign up for that plan. That means without changing the IMEI, you are not eligible for that plan. I know some of the people change the IMEI on their Iphone just to use that data plan.

well the poster should
explain why they want to change their IMEI no reason just makes it all seem aloof to me!

And that is not "stealing" how?
I have often wondered - I think that it is the RIAA that made it illegal to "break copy protection schemes" - in other words to remove code that was designed to protect a program or music or software. In this forum we "remove" bits that keep us from installing ROMs - technically this would put us in violation of this?
We get away with it because?
1. it is our purchased phone and we can do with it what we want?
2. we don't sell the software that we make (ROMS)
I am pretty sure that is we change the IMEI numbers and enable someone to hurt provider's revenue stream that this will be the straw that breaks the camels back and they will go after the culprits.
My two bits worth...

proevoguy - the forum will generally not discuss IMEI changing as it is highly illegal in most countries. Please search for "get you sore" for some info on why most people won't assist you on this. Personally I'm not against the technical discussion of IMEI changing, but as it is such a dangerous subject, it's best not to touch it.
I'm going to lock the thread, but leave it visible, so if anyone wants to help you privately they can. Just don't forget to lube up first if you get caught with an IMEI changed phone.

Additional Touch Pro ROMs coming (Japan)

This is purely for information, but the Touch Pro should be making its way to Japan in the near future as the E30HT on carrier au/KDDI (CDMA), X05HT on SoftBank, and HT-01A on NTT/DoCoMo (both UMTS-I/2100). Still no word from Japan's 4th carrier, e-Mobile (UMTS-IX/1700), but it has just launched its own version of the Diamond, so it might also pick up the Touch Pro.
Preliminary details are here (in Japanese).
So to cooks be on the lookout, there might be some goodies we can pick off of these various devices/ROMs.
And more importantly, this is great news for SoftBank users, since it almost certainly guarantees a way to access SoftBank's unlimited data network/plan (which is proxy-password protected and has been rather difficult to open up on the Kaiser and other WM devices; those that know about "WiFiWake" will understand).

Thanks for this information fhsieh.
I am moving to Japan this weekend, taking my EU TP with me.
I plan to get a contract with Softbank and put the sim card into my EU device.
Should work, no?
Now of course, I am very interested in "SoftBank's unlimited data network/plan" that you mentioned.
Unfortunately I have not used network plan here in EU, as I had a company sim in my TP, and company did not allow network plans.
What did you mean by "those that know about "WiFiWake" will understand"?
I do not know about WiFiWAke, so I do not understand.
would you mind to explain to me?
Thanks and regards,
ARo

I knew for a while that the Touch Pro would be released here in Japan.
However, its good to bring this to everyones attention. I am planning to rip some of the roms features and hope to get some speedy roms going.
I also know that there will be many drawbacks, since all Japanese WM devices are usually crippled and many usual features are cut out. ( ICS for example)
About the Wifiwake issue. I use my softbank flat rate on both, my shift and my touch pro without any problems...(not using wifiwake though )

Yes, Softbank runs a UMTS 2100 network and the EU TP has UMTS 2100. Keep in mind, to get a contract you'll need your foreigner ID card (外国人登録証) or the receipt that shows you've applied for it. If you're not familiar, your company/host should be able to explain everything to you.

SoftBank has a few different data plans that are intended for different phones/services, and depending on how much you use 3G, certain plans may be cheaper for you. Of course you can use an unlocked phone on their network, but each plan has different network settings, and one of the plans requires the program WiFiWake to register the correct network password (although this could be different now).
I must admit I haven't tested it personally because I am not yet in Japan (I will be soon, however), so for more details I would suggest searching the Kaiser forum for "Softbank". It might be confusing but at least you'll find the XDA members in Japan who can provide more specifics.
The only other thing to consider is that most Japanese message each other through "emails" that are pushed through the carriers' MMS services. For this, you'll need to either get Softbank's S!Mail app (which is why the Japanese ROM will be useful, if the new TP S!Mail app is improved), or MMSLite. And then (optionally) an emoji font. Again, Kaiser forums will have much more information for that.
Of course, now that Softbank will officially have the TP, I suspect many Kaiser users in Japan might want to upgrade, so there's a fair chance that someone (like aquasesh ) will simply cook a ROM with all the right settings that you can simply flash.

Sounds like a plan.

silly question... searched again and came up with answer. DOH!

Hi all.
I'm using an unlocked HTC Touch Pro on Softbank.
I've never been able to get the MMSlite option to work on my phone.
I'd like to try to the S!Mail app that comes on the X04HT or X05HT.
Since the X04HT is out, did anyone manage to strip out the app so that other users can install it?
On a similar note, my problem might be related to the fact that I've never been able to get my @softbank.ne.jp email address activated/changed from the default random address you get from a new contract. Does anyone know how if there's any way to get that step done on my phone?!
Thanks!

I have also been using the TP unlocked with the softbank flatrate connection. I have used the flatrate on the past 3 phones without a problem. In fact, even applied for the newer flat rate plan using the old connection method without billing issues thus far...
I dont really care for the Japanese locked down rom... I just want the radio

Softbank X05HT cid info wanted
I just HARD-SPLed my X05HT, forgot my original CID to patch Wifiwake.exe.
Can someone be kind enough to supply the cid info by following command via mtty.exe:
Cmd>getdevinfo
Cmd>info 2

Is there any softbank plan that supports the wm device as a modem?
In another words, I would like to connect my laptop on the internet using my phone as the gateway.
Cheers.

Rally cry to all WM users for un-locked GPS

I read a really great article detailing a crisis that is currently afflicting the WM world.. To read it, go here.. It basically bemoans how a lot of carriers are locking down their GPS to only work with their branded GPS software.. I hope this will at least be an interesting read for you... I for one support them
What do you think can be done to cause this to stop?

Would flashing to a non-carrier branded rom unlock the GPS? (On the HTC Fuze)

I figure this, all ROM's released to date, from VZW, all have the GPS "locked", but there have been ways to work around it. I say if it's there, then we can somehow utilize it. VZW, just released the Touch Pro, I'm interested in what it's capable of doing. I believe it comes stock with a functioning GPS, but you have to pay for the VZW service.
If it really gets so bad that nothing can be done, and providers dumb down these powerful devices anymore, I'll have to move to a new platform.

I purchased an unlocked zinc to use with my existing t-mo 2yr contract and gps works fine with no sim at all (phone icon must be lit in 'comm mgr').
Are you referring to carrier locked phones specifically?

Need help flashing Sprint TP2 over to metro...Phone in hand

can anybody help. I flashed my Sprint Mogul over before metro was able to but I'm not sure where to start.

i'm confused? the title of this thread says flashing sprint tp2, then when we open the thread you are talking about a mogul. If you have mogul questions you should place them there instead of the tp2 thread. I don't know how to help that problem, but placing the question in the correct thread is definitely where to begin.

yes
i am using the mogul on metro pcs but i just bought a sprint touch pro 2 and would like to use it instead of the mogul... the TP2 is a damn fine phone.

Here is the forum for CDMA Rhodiums. It doesn't seem that Hard-spl, much less unlocking, is anywhere near ready for the CDMA Rhodium yet, though. So you'll have to wait awhile. But once a Hard-spl and unlocker is released, it would be released there.

ok i understand. I too have a tp2 and love it. Unfortuantely the hspl isn't ready for the tp2 yet so no custom roms can be made. the hspl is the unlocker for the phone, without that no changes can be made.

I dont think some people realize what your asking... basically people think unlocking the phone means adding a new rom onto the phone.. you dont need a hardspl to put a phone on metro's service... Long story short.. until houdinisoft supports the TP2 your out of luck... i had a TP flashed on metro and thats the latest htc phone they support right now.. i'd keep on checking houdinisoft.com(thats who metro goes thru to reprovision the phone) to see if they'll update there support for more phones in the future.

You are correct, with that software you don't need hspl. But with hspl you don't need that software. HSPL will more then likely be out before that software is out. the tp2 has already been shipped to cmonex and i'm almost certain cmonex will crack that phone before that software website is updated. More then likely that software website uses the hspl to do whatever is they do, but that is only a guess.

Ok so time to move this thread to the right forum, it doesnt belong here with all the gsm Touch Pro 2

So what is metro? CDMA service like sprint? I am confused what that person really wants here...

Yeah - MetroPCS. Primarily down in the south as far as I know. I know it's pretty big in south Florida (from what I saw).

Metro
Yeah, metro is basically the same service as sprint. more or less rented towers from them. they use the same technology, but they keep it dumbed down and make their phone OS's either out of java, or for smartphones some sense of symbian.

I have been using the TP2 with metro pcs for a while now... prob a week after I started this thread. The proccess for flashing the phone is the same as the Sprint Mogul. The only thing that will cost you money is finding a store that ca add ESNs to the Metro network. I found a store in Orlando that flashes CDMA blackberrys to metro and they seem to be able to add the ESNs. When I brought them the phone they said no problem, what kind of phone is this? I just said touch pro, not touch pro 2. When they called to have the ESN added he just gave them the imei # and presto- phone has worked great ever since- Phone, text, and full web. no MMS though, but I really dont care about sending pics.
-Last night I updated to the Official Sprint Win Mo 6.5 because there was a known bug with the version that came on the phone that would make the dates come up as 2016. After installing the new OS I can not change the modem settings to access the internet. So if you are trying to do this, and you want to be able to access the web, then do not install the update to 6.5, unless of course you are using a custom rom
