patched to rc8, now no internet

Hi all i hope you can help me, i have a rc8 which i wanted to root so i followed this tut http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 , everything went fine until i upgraded it 2 the patched rc8, now it wont let me sign in using my account details. says that it cant communicate with google servers.

Ok, Since my last post iv tryed flashing it again and again with both rc7 and rc8, and im still getting the same problem. it wont let me sign in to google, i cant connect to google server, so im guessing 3g's not working on my phone as the 2 little arrows arnt flashing, iv also tryed different apn's with no luck.

You should check to see if Data roaming is enabled or not, sometimes if it is disabled the phone wont connect to the data network. After a system update/downgrade. This happend to me after i downgraded my G1.
Just reboot the phone, try to login and you should get a message saying you have no data connectivity (or something like that, its been a while since i messed with that) then just enable 'Data Roaming' and try again. It is important to wait for the message concerning connectivity to appear as i belive it is the only way to access that menu(correct me if im wrong).
It is ofcourse also important to make sure you have all the right APN settings and whatnot right first. Good luck

Hi Seanambers, thanx for you r reply.
I have no way in checking or changing the roaming settings on my phone, as im at the signing on screen all im able to do is create a google account to sign in with, use my current account to sign in with and change my apn's. I really dont understand whats happened. iv tryed my sim in my old phone and the data services are workin.

Well yeah, thats kinda what i mean there is no way to change the data network settings before you have logged in unless this dialog pops up. I am not familiar with the UK firmware but on the US firmware it gives you a message about connectivity where one is able to access the network menu and enable Data roaming.
You should note that this connectivity dialog dosent always appear at least from my experience, but when i rebooted the phone and after 1 or 2 attempts to login in it appeared.
This may not even be the solution to your problem if you can see a edge symbol og a 3g symbol on the status line then this isnt gonna change anything for you.
If you still arent able to get it to work did you buy it at a store? If so flash the original RC7 onto it and take the phone to them and ask if they can fix it =)
Good luck
Cheers =)

hey again, is there a way to compleatly restore the phone to rc8 uk i mean so it reinstall boot recovery system every thing, if not ill try rc7, also link to said files would be nice, thank you

Had the same thing with connecting to google servers, but I found out it only works when I'm on GPRS. 3G somehow wouldn't let me connect, but when I got into the phone it worked again (I think). I have wifi at home, so I'm usually on that. And there was a time when 3G completely stopped working. Only GPRS worked. I installed RC8 (had RC30) and after a few tries it suddenly worked. I don't know I had 3G or GPRS when I connected to google servers. But you should try.
Also, I think there is a way to connect to the servers using wifi. But it's messy and you have to have root. I read it somewhere on the forums (activate without dataplan or smt)

You can bypass the registration screen. Read this:

yeah i looked at that, but dont i need to have usb debussing on for adb to work.

newbie please help with activation

Hi,
I don't have a data plan but I was able to activate the phone for a single day using my sisters t-mobile sim with the $20 internet plan. It worked for just one day and hasn't been able to connect since. In the short time that it was activated I was able to installed the latest custom firmware RC33 by JF. I think it has telnet at recovery. I have no idea how to use the telnet feature from recovery mode but can someone tell me how to access to the 127.0.0.1. I the read tutorial by JF on how to activate the phone without a sim or data using adb and telnet so my plan was to connect to the phone using telnet from recovery mode and using the disable setup code or enable wifi code. I already tried connecting the phone to my computer but adb could not find the device. Can someone help me please .

You need to install the drivers in order to use ADB. The information is there

We're not mind-readers; If you want clear answers you need to word the request clearly.
- If you successfully activated the phone then it should no longer give you the login screen. Are you getting the login screen again or is it some other issue?
- What do you mean by "it worked for just one day?" What worked?
- Are you yourself on T-Mo or not? Do you have a sim card inserted?
- Are you trying to access the inet via wifi or do you have a dataplan with another provider?
- You should know that if you cannot get adb to work then all this is for naught. You probably don't have the adb drivers installed.
Imo since you obviously didn't have the technical capability to understand the rather complex directions in JF's thread, the best course of action is to just go and get a T-Mo dataplan. It'll save you and this subforum a lot of headache.

I have t-mobile pay-as-you-go, I used my sisters sim to get past the welcome screen because she has the $20 internet plan with t-mobile. After it was past the welcome screen I inserted my sim card and the phone didn't show the welcome screen again. However when I powered off the phone and powered it back on and the welcome screen was back. I again inserted my sisters sim card but this time it wouldn't connect to t-mobile. I tired various APN settings. So the phone is not activated. I keep getting the login screen. I am not sure what you mean by adb drivers installed? Do you mean on my phone? How can I tell? I have the android USB drivers installed on my PC. I am truly very sorry jashsu if I am wasting your time. I hope someone who doesn't mind helping a newbie can help me. I can't afford the data plan with t-mobile. My only option is to sell the phone. Thank you.

If you mean the usb drivers, I did install them.

i would suggest downgrading to rc29 again using your sisters sim with her data plan then sign in re-root then go into settings turn off all the google syncs then using your sim. although it is kinda pointless seeings how this is a data rich phone and unless you constantly have a wifi connection there would be no point in having this phone. but hey what do i know im still an above average newb ... no expert at all

For any of this to work, you have to the the ADB working, or Android Debug Bridge. You can search around on the forum, or go to android.google.com and follow the instructions for setting up the development environment.
But if you are just going to be using the phone for music, photos, gps and so forth, there really are much better phones for that purpose.

EVDO HTC hero sprint

Hello .. I have my HTC hero back on sprint. but no EVDO or DATA connectiuon at all.. I went to the corporate store and of course the MSL code did not work.. so i told the guy well use 000000 and the guy said .. so u messed with the phone...and i had to say yes...therefore they are not messing with it at all...even when i putted the right MSL.. L*( so. what can I do to get my EVDO DATA back?
I can make calls etc...
my other question is...
if you flash your phone..with STOCK(RADIO,STOCK APPS) and you changed the MSL before...will the STOCK flash do all that it suppose to do?

I had the same sort of thing happen to me when I was trying to pass a rooted Pre to a friend. Using the RUU might sort it out, if it doesn't call customer care and ask them to send out the hands-free provisioning signal again. That will put the right info on your phone. Most of all, don't panic All will be well once again.

That's a problem..the hands free activation starts working when you turn oin the phone but it does not complete it gives an error 1012

that's probably due to the MSL not matching the one on file. have you tried rewriting the correct MSL code to the phone? the handsfree activation and profile update should work after that.

Yes I did that...They gave me the MSL...and It does matches the one on file...I am going to try using the RUU again ..

fix
Take the phone back to the store all they have to do is reprovision the phone. If the won't work on the.phone factory reset the phone. I work for Sprint and either will work.

But I am thinking that Update Profile...and Hands Free activation need a EV or 3g whatever connection...right? I don't have it there is no ICON
Just to make sure.. I am running the RUU properly...I have to go to the bootloader( 3 android skaters) and select Fastboot right?

3 things I can think of that worked for me the other day, you will need your MSL and do a ##RTN# (##786#) hit menu then reset. It will ask for MSL but it will also delete everything. should work as long as you have 1.5 based off the 1.29 or 1.56.. Or you can try ##DATA# (##3282#) and reset the data profile. If that does not work call sprint or go into your local store and have them reset your Vision username. 1 of those 3 things should get you where you need to be. If they do not work it is more than likely hardware related.
Just wanted to note as I am still an active employee for sprint as well, a data provision will not work, they will only be able to go these routes in this case, so def. back up any information you may want to keep if you have not already.

ok thanks for all the replies...I just came from a Sprint store, and they guy said that my DATA was not provision properly and I have to wait 1 hour take out the battery ... and turn the phone on again..that should do it...if it does not I ll call Sprint and have them reset my Vision Password ... Thankss!

Ok I think I know what's the problem...First I don't have a recovery thing....HOME+POWER ON brings me to a Exclamation ICON I guess there is where my info should be ... and because the phone was rooted before that image is gone...so the ##3282# USERNAME menu is empty...where can I get that info? that suppose to be there? IP, etc

Your data information will populate automatically once provisioning completes, Id try calling tech support having them reset your vision user name not password then preforming a RTN or doing the RUU prior which should reset everything to what it needs to be prior to root.

thanks man

FIX
It is not the username and password. It is the fact that the phone is not recognizing there is a network available i have seen this issue a bunch of times. you are going to have to do a hard reset (not a ##786#)or you can take it back to the store and have them provision the phone through icss.

I have done Hard Resets more than 5 times. now ... So i am getting a new phone, and that's it .. I'm tired of goind around with my phone..having i consirderation that my phone was in Metropcs and then to Sprint , maybe that screwed something, ahd the guys over in the corporate store don't want to work on it.

if you were in my area i would help!!

Hard resets will do nothing... Run the RUU... Your MSL has no ties to your provisioning.. So I don't know why that keeps coming up.. I'm not sure how Metro does things, but to take that ESN to another carrier usually needs a radio flash and if they had done that, you will not be able to use it unless you reflash the sprint RUU...
You cannot exchange a phone that you have maliciously changed... It has nothing to do with the phone, its the user....

I have run the RUU several times aswell, and I have insurance on the phone, so I hope I can get one tomorrow.

Hey, he bought the phone. There is nothing 'malicious' about him modifying or customizing 'his' phone. The only thing malicious here is your attitude. Well, that and the phone company Nazis warping the brilliant idea that Google had when the Android was first conceived. It wasn't supposed to be about control, or about 'nickle and dime-ing' their customers to death reselling features that are already built into the OS.
Grow a soul, or at least a pair.

Major Google G1 problem!

Hello, recently I bought a Google g1 phone (used)... It was working perfectly until i tried to access wifi, it began to tell me wifi is unable to enable. So I began to read some threads online and one thread said that the wifi may begin to start working if you are to restart the phone from its factory defaults... SO I did and it was probably the most idiotic decision in my life because now it is asking me to enter in my account info for my Google account, oh and I forgot to mention... I am NOT in the United States, meaning I dont have any form of a data plan and am using a prepaid sim card, so I can't bypass this dreadful login screen . I am been looking through these forums and have found a link leading to a thread where it explains how you can bypass the registration page BUT there is one problem, my phone is not an RC29 model nor a modded RC30 but a LEGIT RC30! I've tried using the <enter>reboot<enter> command and it is not rebooting . So i am thinking I am going to have to find some way of flashing back to an RC29 but I have no clue as where to begin :'(... I really want to get this issue resolved, it is driving me crazy and i've only had this phone for 1 day! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, please just tell me how to flash this phone back to RC29 and that would be amazing!

what about rooting your G1 and porting super d rom. it will help bypass the sign in problem
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

ok well see the problem is I have no idea of how to do any of that... I have even tried connecting the phone to my pc and nothing is coming up on the screen about mounting the phone to my computer! Is this normal? Anyways, so what do you mean by rooting my g1; if i cant access the g1 through my computer can i get into the micro simcard directly (as in use a microsd adapter and connect it via usb) and install the terminal or what ever is used to flash the g1 back to RC29... If so that method would work wonders! Please reply with an answer... and again THANK YOU SO MUCH for your time!

You can customize the APN settings before logging in to Google. Just hit the menu key on the screen where you login (I think, it's been a while). You will need your APN info for your prepaid carrier though.

Prevent the "Security policy prevents use of..." issues on J337u

Hello All,
So I have already smashed one of these phones against a wall; that is how frustrated I am right now. I got a couple of SG J3s (J337U), which are unlocked but unfortunately, cannot get them to work. The recognize my sim card and all, but as soon as they get data connectivity, knox enrollment service runs and mobile data gets deactivated, and calls are blocked ("Call not sent" error). I have not been able to find any way around this; it seems there is no way to root this device and there are not custom roms or twrp for this. I have tried to uninstall/disable all the apps that reference knox using adb, but so far, no luck. Someone mentioned there were able to use a magisk patched boot image to go around a similar issue, but when I created a patched image with magisk and try to flash using odin, I get a failure. I am hoping someone can help me figure this out before smash the others against something I bought these as presents for folks in my neighborhood and now I cannot return them as I had to toss the cases to make room while flying home. I appreciate any and all help I can get.
Thanks

carriers are getting sneakier about ways to get their phones locked and many have resorted to firmware that only allows calls over a specific set of conditions. TextNow wireless is one that comes to mind. They use the handset as an EMTA basically and the calls are all completed via VOIP to the switch. Thats hard enough to deal with let alone if they also implement use of a VPN to go with it. i say this assuming that youre trying to use the phone on a network it wasnt sold at the store originally for, correct?

I'm having the same issue with this a10e running and.10. i can't activate mobile data it says security policy won't allow mobile data connection. I have beat my head against the wall trying all these fixes for hours now. I could really use some help please.

I have a Galaxy SM-J337U (J3 2018) and its doing the same. Sees SIM and carrier, but will not make a call, receive a call, send or receive a text. Wondering if someone solved this
