So I have a rogers Magic and flashed to a mytouch sappimg.nbh.
As you can see i dont know what i'm doing. Now i'm stuck with a mytouch rom and can't get passed the gmail setup becuase i cant get 3g access for some reason.
Does anybody have any tips on what i can do to fix this? Is there a rogers sappimg.nbh? i tried searching for it but couldnt find it.
Thanks to anyone that helps.
Do a nandroid restore if u regret what you have done...

Just skip the gmail setup, go into settings and define your APN settings, and then you'll be able to set up gmail as per normal.
Failing that, I hope you kept a backup, otherwise you'll need to download a suitable rom for your handset from this development forum and try to flash that instead.
Do you have root access now?

I don't have root access anymore or else i would of did a recovery.
I can't skip the gmail account setup theres no option to skip it on mytouch its as if its manditory.
I can't connect it to the computer either. Doesnt sync or anything.
Press Menu, right when it asks you to enter your Gmail username and password.
You'll see the APN / Wireless Settings button pop up on the screen.
Enter your APN settings there.

I found a G1 and tried to factory restore it but the home key doesn't work and I don't know the Gmail address or password so is there any way around that so I can get into the phone and use it. Please let me know, Thank You!

You found a G1?
I bet its mine... just kidding.
Look it up dude!!
Poor guy who lost the phone though.
The home key is pretty vital though since you need to confirm with the home button.
This should be in Q&A, you'll likely get a better response.
Factory reset really just involves reformatting the data and cache. Without having root access already, and an Engineering SPL installed, you might have a tough time. My initial thought is that a gold card would work, but I think you do that from the recovery partition. I don't think that you can reboot to that partition from fastboot. Hmmm, not sure. I'd check with Q&A.
You should check to see if the last owner had the phone rooted (you'll be surprised)
If thats the case then just flash a new rom through the computer (Droid Explorer)
Turn the phone on and plug it into the computer with DroidExplorer open and see if it picks up anything.
I'm pretty sure thats all you need then you could download a cyanogen or what ever rom of your choosing and flash it.
found ?

how about emailing the owner and returning his/her property ?
you should see the email address of the owner after 4-5 failed unlock patterns iiirc.
Try:
Code:
adb shell reboot recovery
My roommate bought an EVO 4G off Craigslist that was pre-flashed to MetroPCS. It had a clean ESN, so I tried to have it activated. I finally got voice and text to work, but no data. After searching the web, visiting flashing stores, and spending hours on the phone with Sprint's so called "Technical Support" over the last week, I finally figured it out...
This is my first tutorial, so bare with me. And I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, it seemed most appropriate. I performed all this in Windows 7 x64.
First you need some software-
1. QPST - http://www.mediafire.com/?m4s81a4zsdbmhen
2. HTC Diag phone drivers - http://www.mediafire.com/?631456zwxi09hh2
3. PRL File 60650 - http://www.corolada.com/prl/
4. I'm not sure if you need ADB installed, but I already did.
5. You will also need to know your MSL. It will most likely be 000000 if your phone is coming from Cricket or MetroPCS.
Now that we have those, we can get to work.
6. Connect your phone via USB and type in ##3424#, your phone should now be in Diag mode. Make sure USB Debugging is ENABLED!
7. Open your device manager in Windows and right click the unknown device "HTC DIAG", Select Update driver.
8. Select Browse my computer for driver. Click select device from list, Click next, Then click "Have Disk" and point to the appropriate HTC Diag driver folder you downloaded.
9. You now should have HTC Modem installed correctly. Right click on it and go to Properties, Then click on the modem tab. Find your port number eg. COM1, COM2, etc.
10. Open up QPST Configuration, Click the PORTS tab. On the bottom right click add port. Add the port you just found from the step above, and hit Enable.
11. Go back to the active phones tab, double click your phone.
12. On the bottom click read from phone. Then save it for a backup.
13. Click on Roaming tab. Find the PRL box, click browse and add your 60650 PRL file you downloaded.
14. Go back to the CDMA tab. Under phone number click the Class 1 box. Enter your phone number (xxx-xxx-xxxx) minus dashes in the box next to Class 1.
15. Click write to phone. Hard parts over!
16. Once that finishes, unplug and reboot your phone.
17. Go to Settings>Update Software>Update PRL then reboot again.
17. Once its back up go into your dialer. Punch in ##3282#. Hit Edit Mode. The password is your MSL.
18. Once in goto Data Profile. Hit Menu then hit RESET.
19. Your phone should now reboot and be able to activate on Sprints network!
I already did this for my roommate, so I am writing this out of memory. I wanted to post pictures but I would have to take CM7 off my phone and redo all of it... grrrr.
Again, this is my first guide so i might have missed something. But I hope not. So many people have helped me here on XDA, so this is my contribution to the community. I hope this helps some people.
I did this to a hero. I believe I just cleared all the ##data stuff and pep update manually.

I tried that to. But the only way to make it work was to flash the new PRL file. Neither Sprint or a Cricket flashing place could fix it. Which I thought was pretty stupid.
Another quick way of doing it.
Load Stock RUU.
This will rewrite PRL, NV items etc back as it rewrites the radio wich controls these.
Once done ##RTN# need MSL to use this, but this will help as well. and your done.
This is handy to have, and even better to have a few different ways to do it.

I tried this like 4 times, and it would never flash the PRL... the way I did it, it finally flashed sprints PRL.

Go into your phone settings, goto About Phone, what is the PRL number listed?
i am pretty sure i flashed the "60650.prl"
however i sold the phone and it will be back here tomorrow for repairs....
i had the guy do the settings -> update prl without luck....
sigh thanks for any help!

Well if for some reason it didn't flash, then "update PRL" wont work cause its not looking for sprints PRL. Try to see what PRL is loaded on the phone, then I can probably help a little better.
guy claims under settings the prl says 1.77-003
thanks

That's the PRI, not PRL. The PRL will be a five digit number. The latest Sprint PRL is 60675.
yeah thats what i figured, didnt know if that was a hex abbreviation with sprint's software for the prl or what... waiting for him to text me back...
i am pretty sure when i waited for him to activate the phone it showed a 3g icon when voice and text went active.. you sure if the prl is wrong everything else would work except data/mms/marketplace? thanks
the prl is = 60675

Well you have a Sprint PRL. Did the phone go through the Hands Free Activation when you tried to activate it? If you see a 3G symbol then all should be good. You could have him call Sprint and tell them data isn't working and you need to re-activate it...
well we had to type in a diag code then hit update and then it activated, not OTA to get talk and text going... he said he spent a hour at the sprint store today and they couldnt solve it
You could try my guide again, from step 17.
i asked the guy via text to do the guide through 17 to end, he says they tried that at the sprint store... without luck... i guess i can try it tomorrow when the phones in my hands unless anyone else has any other ideas....
what i did was followed this guide after flashing a oem RUU back to the phone
"RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459"
Did you get your phone working? Could you share some of your tricks? Thanks!

apparantly i locked my TB with a pin code and woke up this morning and now i cant get into it at all. after 60 tries i thought it would ask me to enter my google account email and pw which i have but it hasnt. anyway to get past this??
Well that really sucks forgetting your pin code, but if it were easily worked around, it wouldn't be much of a security system, so it's not easy.
This Google help forum thread might help you out: http://www.google.com.tw/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=1889ba0fa1e29183&hl=en
If you're rooted, with adb access you might be able to clear something in the system to reset it, but I'm not sure where to start with that if it's even an option.
Factory reset will certainly get you back into the phone, and shouldn't wipe your sdcard data, but I'd pull it out before resetting just to be safe.
thanks i appreciate it. i just cant believe after 75 tries it doesnt tell you to enter your gmail account info to get into the phone. i thought all androids did that

yeah. both my OG Droid and Fascinate made me type my Google credentials after a certain number of failed tries. Call VZW and see if there is a workaround. Keep us posted!
If you are rooted and using ClockWorkMod, u could restore a backup, that uses no pin or an old pin.
If you do have CWM and a earlier backup, I would perform a backup and then restore the earlier backup.
if you can do that and get into the OS again, you might be able to Run Advanced Restore in CWM and just restore the Data Partition from the backup of the pin locked one. (this is just a guess, Im not sure where the pin is saved but this may be the best way to not loose data)
I have a rooted sensation with stock ICS. I need to enter a PIN every time I switch on the device screen, which is really annoying. I had a VPN set up, deleted it, same problem. Rebooted, same problem. I think it has something to do with the Exchange account I have set up, but I cannot remove that.
I tried the settings in the "security" section, but they are greyed out (see attachment).
Any ideas?

I don't remember which post it was, but someone in response to a similar query said that you could check out the device administrator applications, one of those would be enforcing this. In that case, the exchange app was the culprit.

Hi man,
This could be related to the info on the 2nd post.
Do you have any exchange account setup in your device? (from your company)
If yes, this is the reason, if not you may have to wipe your device and reinstall everything.

I have been trying to root to see if through it I will solve Alcatel 7 tether problem. I am not able to use tether via the native hotspot and USB tethering app. Each time I turn on the switch I get the error message "Settings has stopped," and then the window closes. Easy Tether does not work either, even though I get a "connection established" status the app, yet no message or icon of connection on Linux distro Mint 18.

U can try to use pdanet for USB tethring. However it is not guaranteed because the app setting does not allow "dun" as apn type anymore. However,I did successfully use the pdanet wifi direct method to connect my Chromebook. It was successful but be aware of the "run proxy" fucntion needs to be avtivated. You can access through help section for the app. However. u have to keep the screen on because it will be killed after screen off for couple minutes. I did exclude it from battery optimization but no luck. If it is screen on it should be alright. I don't have the apn dun problem with my stylo 4 though..... maybe because my Alcatel 7 is still locked and stylo 4 is already unlocked. Hope this info helps.:good:

I figured out a way to add dun in apn type. Just add it and do not press save, directly press home button and then go back to apn settings and check, it should be automatically saved when u pressed the home button. Hope this helps.

nvmd got it and working
If anyone wants to get it root it just follow the instruction that Warlockguitarman has but with a few modifications to the commands
first make sure to back up with python mtk rf flash.bin and save it somewhere else cause its like 30GB
then do
"python mtk rl" out to get the boot.bin
to unlock the boot loader use
"python mtk da seccfg unlock"
then just follow the magisk app part to patch the boot.bin and make sure u save when u get it to the PC side to save it as
boot.img to make it easier and use this command
"python mtk w boot boot.img"
and ur done, super easy but a little time consuming for the most part
make sure to back up, back up back up, dont be lazy with it just in case
been looking for way for a long time since i got the phone around 2018 and this is the only way it worked
