Don't know if this is right forum to put it in, so sorry if I'm wrong.
Today I thought it was a good idea to Root my G1.
After weeks of reading up on different ways and things to try and how to's I finally decided to attempt How To Hack,Flash,Root G1/Dream
That was all good and dandy used the new method and got it working first try.
used different roms and at the end of the day I wanted to go back to the default rom and image.
wasn't 100% sure how to do it, so I just fiddled.
Saw an option in the boot screen to return to factory defaults.
for some reason assumed it would set it back to Australian factory defaults but instead went to T-Mobile factory default.
Tried using my gmail username and password but it wouldn't let me in.
searched the forums and found a How To Unroot thread.
followed it, but in the end gave me an error at step 4 in the bootloader, but I wasn't too sure if that was because of my phone being from australia and not UK or USA or just because I did something wrong.
Can someone help me out, its very distressing, even though I recognise its my fault -.-'
der der der to me
Wrong forum - should be in Q&A really.
With that said, to do what you want and go back to the stock firmware as it was when you bought it you need to have a copy of it around to flash. I haven't got it and the only versions I've seen listed are for UK and USA G1s. That doesn't mean they aren't out there, only that I don't know about them. For the time being you may as well use a rooted ROM like Cyanogen's.
Is there a reason you want to unroot it?
If you've still got access to the screen asking for username/password, make sure your APN settings are correct. Hit Menu and go to APN settings.
I think Optus mainly sell the G1, so if your with Optus these are the APN/MMS settings:
INTERNET SETUP
Press the Menu Key, touch Settings
Touch Wireless Controls
Touch Mobile Networks
Touch Access Point names
Press the Menu button and New APN
Highlight Name then enter Optus Yes Internet
Highlight APN then enter yesinternet
Highlight APN type then enter default
Press the Menu button and touch Save
MMS SETUP
Press the Menu key, touch Settings
Touch Wireless Controls
Touch Mobile Networks
Touch Access Point names
Press the Menu button and touch New APN
Touch Name then enter Optus MMS and touch OK
Touch APN then enter mms and touch OK
Scroll down and touch MMSC then enter http://mmsc.optus.com.au:8002/ and touch OK
Touch MMS Proxy then enter 61.88.190.10 and touch OK
Highlight MMS Port then enter 8070 and touch OK
Highlight APN type then enter mms
Press the Menu button, touch Save
If you have no luck there, skip the setup and try connecting to an Access Point.
Not too sure on unrooting.

Hello All,
Upgrade went perfectly. However I can not activate my phone, sprint wants me to go into programming mode by hitting ##13845# and then hit edit in the phone menu. This option is not available, what do I do to get the phone provisioned. I got into the phone by entering ##788# and it took me to an edit menu. Now it asking me for a passcode? What is it or how do I get it?
Thanks

That passcode is your MSL. Take the battery out of your phone and then write down the HEX ESN.
Install GetSPC(attached below) and then input your HEX ESN with Caps lock on.
And then with the push of a button you will have your MSL. Make sure you write it down so you don't lose it.

how to activate verizon?
Cannot access edit menu
I cannot even get to the edit menu. I am not sure I understand how to get there. When on the phone keypad your entering in ##788# and pressing 'send'? This then brings up a menu for you?
If this these are not the steps, please explain what I should be doing/looking for?
Thanks
i cannot access anything. if i put either of those combinations of numbers in it just tries to dial those numbers when i hit send. i upgraded my phone to wm 6.1 n i cannot get it activated plz help thanks!
##778# then send, is the correct number for verizon. Some phones you must leave off the last # for it to go to the edit screen
Hey, I have this guy I was working with trying to get his MMS working on his Wing/Herald. When I noticed the menu structure was ass-backwards I checked the ROM version: "OpenTouch 4CN WWE".
Anyway, I found the MMS gprs settings and was able to key those in, but I'm Unable to find the standard internet settings. On a standard T-Mo software, the path would be Start>Settings>Connections Tab>Connection>"Manage existing connection" - But this option is not here! It only has options for adding a modem, setting up a vpn, and managing a proxy. So where is the "My Work Network" page?
Sorry if it all sounds really naive, I own a G1 personally and have followed this forum for over a year working with the roms available, but never personally even owned an winmo device.
I'm not sure on that version of OpenTouch... But try this (from OpenTouch tutorial)
Network Wizard:
Go to \Start\Settings\Connections\Network Wizard
Choose your location and provider, do not reset the device when prompted.
Connections
Go to \Start\Settings\Connections\Connections
Once completed save and exit
may need to input "wap.voicestream.com"
For more info on OpenTouch 4:

Thanks, yeah I'll be calling him back tomorrow so hopefully that works. The second step is goofy though, with the "Go to \Start\Settings\Connections\Connections", as that takes us to the page I described earlier with no options to change APNs. We'll see. Thanks for checking into that for me!
So I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2 that I unlocked with HardSPL and sim unlocked through htc-unlocks.
I'm currently using the latest release from Mightyrom
I have the Phone calls and texts running no problem on the phone. My issue is with MMS and DATA. As I open the browser it gives me the CANNOT CONNECT screen on my Opera Browser.
I have no ability to send an MMS, As I go to my text message menu, I press NEW, and I have no option to choose "picture", "video", or "MMS" as a message type.
I found these t-mobile settings I guess i'm supposed to enter. Only problem is that I don't know where to enter these.

I'm pulling my hair out here trying to figure this out. I think i'm overcomplicating this
Any and all help is appreciated, thanks folks
go to setting -connection and then add them form there

Can you elaborate?
There's 8 options under the "connections" tab, and i've looked in all of them and don't see where I can enter any of it.
Anybody else who might have knowledge as well please feel free to chime in and help out. I'm a newbie who's searched everywhere there is, with no luck..
All input is appreciated
After you are at connections I believe you pick manage connections and then new connection and add from there.
settings - connections - connections - manage existing connections - new - choose cellular line (gprs,3g) - next - apn = epc.tmobile.com - next - finish
as far as mms goes I haven't found a way to make it work using mightyrom

You've been told many times on the forum, RESET DEFAULT APNS. And then one of them will be simple, and just check that one.

You was right
sorry on the hellfire 1.2 it would not work for me i am using aokp now and it worked thank you for your time
Simple Mobile APN Configuration on the G2x
This goes out to all my broke peoples out there! Keep yo heads up, Fam, and we gonna get through these tough times together!
NOTE: This guide is for ICS-based ROMS, such as Hellfire Sandwich. This is the most highly recommended ROM for G2x right now ... according to ME!
After much trial and error--having just been forced to involuntarily abandon T-Mo US for Simple Mobile last week due to lack of having paper--the following procedure worked for me. Don't listen to NOBODY ELSE, other instructions DO NOT WORK, I know I tried them all! Especially don't go by the guide on Simple's website, they ain't got a ****in clue what they talking about either! Anyway, I hope it might help other people with the same problem.
If you currently don't see any APNs under System Settings > Wireless & Networks > More... > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, good! Do the following procedure.
If you've already been pranking around with the APNs trying to get them to work, delete all your APNs under System Settings > Wireless & Networks > More... > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, reboot your phone and then do the following procedure.
You must not be connected to Wi-Fi when you go through these steps.
From the APNs screen, press the Menu Button. Tap Reset to Default. Wait as much as 5-10 minutes and let the thing do its work. You should now see 2 APNs: Simple and T-Mobile US.
Now you have two APNs there, but neither of them will actually work ... yet. They're generic and now we'll need to do some tweaking.
Counter-intuitively, we're gonna ignore the APN called Simple and work with the one titled T-Mobile US. You'll understand why in a minute, trust me.
Press the Menu Button.
Tap System Settings.
Under Wireless & Networks, tap More...
Tap Mobile Networks.
Check that "Data Roaming" and "Use Only 2G Networks" are both unchecked.
Tap Access Point Names.
If you did the Reset to Default routine above, tap T-Mobile US.
Here are the settings (be careful they are case sensitive and don't put stray spaces in there or you'll be pulling out your hair wondering why it won't work, trust me on that!):
Name: Don't change, leave it as "T-Mobile US". I don't know why but the G2x seems to like it better that way.
APN: simple
proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
Username: Don't change, leave T-Mo US setting (whatever that is) intact.
Password: Don't change, leave T-Mo US setting (whatever that is) intact.
Server: Don't change, leave T-Mo US setting (whatever that is) intact.
MMSC: http://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMSProxy:[empty]
MMS Port: [empty]
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
Once you finish filling all this in, press the Menu Button.
Tap Save.
This will take you back to the APNs screen.
Now tap the other APN, Simple.
When it opens up, tap the Menu Button.
Tap Delete APN.
You are done. Watch the Signal Strength indicator in the Notifications Bar. It may take a minute, but it should now turn Blue, you should get 5 bars, and your should see a tiny H appear next to it.
You're now good to go, but you can optionally reboot if you feel like it and then check if your APN is still there. If it ain't, program it again and use APNsBU or APN Manager Pro from the Market/Google Play Store to backup your APN settings for easy restoral just in case they keep vanishing.
Good luck!
Hit the "Thanks!" Button below if this helped you.

If you're on Simple Mobile it lets you use the web and mms (Multimedia Messaging Service, or "picture messaging"). If you're on T-Mo or another network, it will stop you from using the web and mms.
You say you're a n00b, don't worry my man, we all were once upon a time.... Stick around here and you won't be for long!
Check out this here link, it might help you understand this APNs subject matter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_Point_Name
Good luck.
trust me, ive been a n00b in a lot of places, it will come off soon
but as for the APN, when put a new rom on i get simple and tmobile and it defaults to tmobile and i can browse the web and send mms messages
MMS Still don't work
I'm on EB ICS 4.0.4 Build3. I was having problems with apns just disappearing. I did everything as had been described earlier and my internet started working. Though apn still sometimes disappears I just hard reboot the phone and it comes back. One problem though MMS is still not working, it just keeps saying sending and never goes through. Will see, maybe there is an answer somewhere out there.
Okay so I followed the above instructions but the T-Mobile APN's are locked, there is T-Mobile Data and T-Mobile MMS - HTC Sensation 4G

im not 100% sure but it may be different on your HTC, this is the forum for the LG G2x, you might want to try asking in the HTC forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1110
also this is for ICS roms, are you running an ICS rom? are you rooted? or have a custom rom installed?

ICS APN Setting Simple Mobile Working
I Know The Answer But I Need Ten Post To Post Outside Links Meaning I Can't Put The Apns.. =(. But Go On Youtube This User Named muzzzmaggg Has The Video Showing You. The Name Of His Video Is How to setup APN/mobile internet and MMS on SIMPLE Mobile for HTC. It Works For Any ICS ROM. Check It Out And Follow Step By Step And Where The APN Says Not Set Make Sure It Says Not Set Instead Of None. If All Goes Well You Should Have Simple Mobile Running On Your ICS ROM. It Has Worked On 5 Devices So I Know It Works On ICS 4.0.3 And 4.04 Etc..
I just got this phone unlocked for Australia and have the aussie Vodafone SIM card. I can receive txts and make calls but how do I enable data. I have a data plan for internet use and it works on other phones but when I try to browse the web its page cannot be displayed.
Also how do I configure it to receive MMS?
I might have some more questions as I am still trying to configure stuff on this phone for first time use
In settings -> Wireless & networks -> check "mobile network"
You may have to tap the next menu option down, which is "mobile networks" and put in the apn (access point names) settings for your provider, choose your network mode, and network operators.
You can get that information from your carrier.
There is also a setting in there for 'always on mobile data' which you should check.
----
In your pull-down menu that you can drag down from the top of the screen just about anywhere, you will also notice at the bottom it has a tab for 'quick settings'
If you touch that tab it will get you to a menu where you can set some settings on and off on the fly, and includes a shortcut to 'All settings' in addition to turning mobile networks on and off.
Ok Ill have to get that info from vodafone and Ill test that out tomorrow and see if it works, hopefully it does. On a different note how do I set notification tones and ringtones? I ran a search and on my SD card I created folders called notification, alarms and ringtones. I pasted the mp3 on the notifications folder and then gone into notification tone and selected it. It plays but when I get a txt its the default one still. Reboot didnt work. I downloaded the app ringdroid and that doesnt work also even though I set it to use as notification.
Ok I tried it, when I select APN its blank and empty. Just a black screen only. Ive selected my network provider in network name, but yeh APN is empty nothing happens
Ok I think I found out why the screen is blank. The phone I got is unlocked and I am using it in Vodafone Australia, I did check the frequency to make sure we have the same bands here and I thought we did, for 3g here it should be 2100 correct me if Im wrong. When I set the settings to wcdma only I get no signal at all, but if I get another phone with vodafone carrier it connects to 3g with perfect strength. Not sure why my htc phone wont connect to 3g it should connect unless I have the frequency bands all wrong here for the device and carrier
You need to manually add the APNs to the APN list
When at the APNs list(which will be blank) hit the menu button and you will get some options. Select 'new' which will let you create a new APN then when done editting the fields hit menu again and select 'save' to save the APN you've created.
Select it, then if mobile data is on the mobile data icon should appear next to the signal strength icon

I use my media/music player to setup the ringtone. When you play a song there's always an option to set it as a ringtone
