Hi all,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922978
I was following the directions in that thread and seem to have mucked something up. I went into ##3282#, edit, advanced. And per the instructions in that thread i was changing the HTTP PD Proxy Port and HTTP PD Proxy Address to 0 and 0.0.0.0
Only when i was changing the address, i think i accidentally inserted a return in there, so that the address really was:
0.0.0
0.0.0.0
Now when i try to go back in there, it either hangs at reading 76% of the settings, or it just crashes before it gets that far.
I changed the port and was in the process of changing the address when the app crashed when i clicked ok.
Is there any other way for me to reset/correct that info, other then doing a factory reset?
thanks
Have you tried the 3282 and then menu>restore?
3282- DATA,
data restore, do it here at the store quite a bit if having an issue with a phone not connecting to the network/ won't commit modifications. If you can't get it to do it you can also try calling technical support and having them do it from their end, at least that works on sprint.

I have bought a G1 out of T-mobile coverage area (something like JailBreak Phone).
I got firmware version RC19 and while i do a factory setting, to change the google acount, system ask me to config new google account, but i have no way to connect to internet, eighter via wifi or APN.
Could someone tell me how to bypass this initial setup sreen, or any firmware edited is skip step.
PS: I got unlock number from T-Mobile, and originally this phone could not connect to APN of my local carrier. (No G, E or 3G sign to indicate GPRS, EGPRS or 3G support)
Your kind advice on this issue is high appreciated.
You have to Insert T-Mobile Internet Enabled SIM and Activate using your Google Password. till now there is bypass method available.
Thanks for your information.
Anyway, could you tell me why my G1 could not connect GPRS for my local carrier, is it because it's a jailbreak or because it only have R19 firmware (i have test connection since it still not get stuck at initial setup).
If I update firmware when the phone system say that there is update, will the phone back to the initial setup screen again or not?
Hi!
If you dont have a t-mobile sim card you need a unlock code for use other sim card. when you have it you need to start the phone in Safe Mode and configure the new APN for your sim card.
When you finish it you can use you gmail account for setup by 3g or 2g.
Just read you IMSI from SIM Card
Suppose it start with 40490
Means 404 is MCC (Mobile Country Code) and 90 is MNC (Mobile Network Code).
MNC and MCC is also Important to Auto Detect and Select Correct APN Set by phone after matching it with your SIM Card,
So in APN Put Correct MNC and MCC also
Hmmm. If you have RC19, I bet we can get it to work. It won't be easy though. Shoot me an IM sometime if you want some help. I find that type of thing is much easier if done interactively, rather than trying to write out full instructions all at once
See my new post here for an overview of a process that will allow you to register. It doesn't have specific step by step instructions though, so you'll have to adapt it to your particular situation.
skip
just thought i'd mention for anyone coming across this thread in the future ... you can simply skip the registration. the initial page the allows you to select new account or sign in also has a skip. skip, then configure wifi. the next time you try to access a google service it will prompt you to run through the configure step again.
edit: sigh. i guess even if you get the network setup and working, you still need a SIM to configure the google services. never mind.

This is not possible, unless you have a custom ROM, I guess you must be using something like CyanogenMod

uh wow this topic is over a year old where did you find it?
Anyway if you bought your phone legit it should of came with a non registered sim card. Stick that in and everything should work (it did for me). If you use an eclair rom you don't even need to skip registration you will just be asked to login to a wifi portal and go from their.
Nooo! The zombie thread will eat my brains!
Seriously, this is oooooold. This issue is long since resolved... I have no idea why you would res this thread. And, yeah, the skip option is only in custom ROMs. I'm pretty sure Cyanogen added it in one of the 3.x versions of his ROM. That's the earliest I remember seeing it, though I did use CyanogenMod for a long time with no wipe after I decided to try it instead of JF. Ah, the nostalgia...
Would someone be able to supply me with the APN settings for my Galaxy S 4g? This idiot just deleted his. I thought something was wrong with my phone because I had lost all ability to use packet data over anything but Wi-Fi. So while troubleshooting I deleted the default without backing it up. I did figure out why I lost data though. Did you know T-Mobile expects you to pay them EVERY month? The wife thought I paid it and I thought she had.
It's paid now, but I can't find anything here or on google that references that they are specifically for SGS4G. Does it matter? Can I use any?
BTW, if anyone knows any alternate config for APN that claims improved speeds I may as well use those. Never wanted to before because I'm satisfied with my speed, but since I'm adding them back....
Have you tried reseting APN to defaults?
Press the Menu Key
Tap on Settings
Tap on Wireless and network
Tap on Mobile networks
Tap on Access point names
Press the Menu Key and tap on Reset to Default
Don't know if that will work for ya... but other than that you have to call tmobile/yourmobilecarrier to get the settings.

I'm not at my computer right now. But go to the vibrant section and look for the think tank removing data throttle thread. Or Google T-Mobile apn settings and manually enter them on the phone.

Thanks to golmar n blackphnx for the reply, I had googled and found some before posting, but wasn't sure if I it was one size fits all. I tried what you suggested Golmar and it worked except I needed to take a couple more steps beyond your post. You got me in the right direction though. If any other boneheads ever does the same as me, follow the below:
1. Follow steps given by Golmar in post 2 to get to your APN settings but you won't have restore defaults when selecting menu (system won't let you if you do not have any APN. Only can choose to create a new one or cancel from the pop up)
2. What you will see if you have no APN stored is it goes directly to a dialogue asking if you want to create a new one or cancel. Say yes and you get a full form asking for all the detailed APN info (If you say no/cancel it exits back to the previous menu).
3. Enter Name (doesn't matter what) and then epc.tmobile.com in the APN field don't know if you need APN, but I put it in.
4. Now, when you select menu you will have option to Save or Discard. Select Save.
5. Saving brings you to the screen you normally would see to select default APN or another one if you had created. (If you just went through these steps you should see just 1 named whatever you entered in step 3.)
6. At this point you can select menu and choose to restore defaults. Your default APN will return and the dummy just created will be removed.
Good to know!

can't help with dialer codes, but why not use shabby's 7.2 tool to root and install custom recovery, then flash a stock image to reset everything for you. You can always return to stock if that's your style
Hey guys,
So I know I'm not alone on this issue, I've come across countless topics and I couldn't find a solid solution ANYWHERE and I tried EVERYTHING. I finally stumbled upon a solution that worked for me and it DIDN'T involve a clean wipe of my ROM.
(oh and a little background, I'm running a Droid 4 on Verizon with stargo's port of CM11 KitKat)
The topic is on the cyanogenmod website (can't post the link because of stupid forum rules), and I found the solution in the comments. Here is the comment by Matt Mower:
"Michael Gernoth, after changing apns-conf.xml, you might need to force a reload of apns-conf.xml. One way to achieve this is:
1) Enable airplane mode
2) Restart phone
3) Settings > Mobile networks should now show "Access point names" as a menu you can enter
4) In Access point names menu, choose "Reset to default" from the drop menu
5) Disable airplane mode"
So I did that, and wallah, I was able to send and receive MMS again and the error is gone!! I've seen soo many other people on here who have the same issue and have tried to reset to default and they mention that it wouldn't save, and I think the reason is it just needed that said manual reload of apns-config.xml.
Please note that I take NO CREDIT FOR THIS FIX, I just happened to find the post that contained the info that I believe many others have missed. Please share this info with anyone else having this issue as it could save them a ton of frustration as well.
Thanks for reading!
I personally tried several solutions including replacing the apns-conf.xml file, manually entering all the APN info and others without any real permanent success.
There is a ridiculously simple fix to cure this issue once and for all.
Make sure your Droid 4 is rooted and open the Play Store. Install Root Tweaker by broodplank. Open the app and check the box next to Cyanogenmod APNS List. Click "Tweak now!" You'll get a message advising it has been applied. Close the app, reboot your device and you should be good to go.
Ahem!

I followed these instructions, and literally one second after turning airplane mode back off I got a "No APN specified on device message." So, at least on the OnePlus One this fix does not work. However, it is apparently possible to reset the APN to default without going into airplane mode or rebooting, although I don't know if that reloads the apns-config.xml file. Anyway, I just changed to a different APN, and so far that seems to have fixed the problem.
By the way, for all you language mavens, "wallah" is a horrible corruption of "voila," which is properly pronounced much the same way but adding the "v" sound at the start, phonetically sort of "vwallah". Cheers!
so helpfull, thank you
Simply, set your APN settings as default from drop menu, shutdown your cell, Remove sim and now insert your sim turn on cell, your issue is fixed..........
Big hug jdinardo22- the issue was fixed by enabling airplan , reboot, disabling it
and my phone is 1+1
it took me much pain and time , till getting to this simple advice that made an end to the creeping situation.
the only benefit of this terrible journey, is that i got read of a lot of nonsense and suspicious apps.
tanks again to jdinardo!!!:angel:

Team,
I have a nice S4 that is not used anymore so I started experimenting different stuff, there is not any warranty active so I tested the root/unroot, different images etc.
It all went well till I tried to start working with the wlan0 configuration. I tried all possibile solutions found around, on the busybox/term even if every command does not return an error nothing changes. I've tried differents apps they all claim is fine but nothing changes, even modifying the efs/wifi files does not have any result.
I tried rebooting after changes... the max I was able to achieve was turn off wifi, change the files, reboot, check max 02:00:00:00:00, turn on wifi... mac back to original.
Is there anyone can help me? is it a problem related to the image? or to the phone?
Thanks,
M

If you are getting problem in Macoptimizer you can perform following steps:
Open up settings and then go to WiFi.
Now, you will see gear on the top of this screen, click it. But if you don’t see it, look for “Configure WiFi” option and click it. Some Android system have Advanced option in WiFi, MAC address can be found there also.
You can find the MAC address on the bottom of this screen. Keep a note of it.
In order to get the interface name, you will have to install Terminal Emulator for Android. Go to Google Play Store and download it or click the link to get it.
Then open it and type the following command : ip link
You screen will be filled with lot of information, useful and useless. Now, remember I told you to keep a note of your MAC address. Just look for this MAC address under “link/ether” for all the cases.
The one that matches our MAC address, is the connection name. For most of the devices it is either “wlan0” or “eth0”.
Now, that we know our MAC address and the connection name, we can go on to change the MAC address with this terminal emulator only. Before that you should have a valid MAC address in your mind or generate one from this link. Once, you have a new MAC address, just get on with the below steps:
Launch the Terminal Emulator
Just type the following command: ip link set wlan0 address XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY, where wlan0 is the name of the interface and XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY is the MAC address you want to set.
Important thing to keep in mind that the manufacturer name should be kept unchanged while changing the MAC address i.e. XX:XX:XX (first 6 digits) should be same as before, otherwise you might face a lot of authentication issue.
This is only a temporary change and when you restart your device, your previous MAC address will be retrieved back."
