Hi:
For months now, I have been unable to access the MediNet home page. I started searching the other day, and found a cab which installs the medianet settings. After installing it, I am now able to access MediaNet home, as well as Cellular Video (which I couldn't access before either).
Now, the problem is, TF3D weather will not update at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
I really don't want to lose any of the features I now have, but I do need weather to update.
Thanks so much!
PS: I will attach the cab I used to set medianet settings. I also tries changing the username to netx, which I found in another thread when seraching, but that had the same results.
did you change your opera about:config settings so that your phone is recognized ONLY as a pc and not as a mobile phone? I know that that is one reason for why you could not be able to access media net.
I have had the same problem occasionally.
I dont suggest you use that program. you should uninstall it and do the following
I called At&t customer support (i have a fuze) and they walked me through it, and oddly i remember it by heart...
from today screen or touch flo 3d
start>settings>connections tab>connections>advanced tab>select networks> make sure the top box says media net
click edit>there should be a profile called MEdia net select it and click edit
click next make sure the access point name is wap.cingular click next
make sure all three fields are empty if there is a username password or domain, you should take it out
click finish
then go back to the home screen
from the homescreen
click start>programs>tools>proxy manager>restore proxy>ok
now it should work without the glitch of the program you used

Kuree: Your instructions worked perfectly.
Thanks so much!
I've bought a Samsung Focus S and unlocked it as well as updated the APN info. However, I can't find out how to update the MMS settings. Is there a way to do this or am I SOL?
(I've read you can edit the settings in the XML files, but I'd prefer to avoid that if possible as I'm not sure what the correct instructions are to do that. If someone has them please post them!)
Surely someone knows how to do this? Why would MS make this setting so hard to change?
I just tried this:
xxx.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-enable-mms-on-samsung-focus-samsung-omnia-7-guide/
but unfortunately it doesn't work. ##634## will get you into the Diagnosis (ver.0923) menu, however once I type 40*047#3 nothing happens. Next to the numbers entered there's a circle with a horizontal line in the middle, however when I hit that it just erases the last number I entered. There's no other buttons to hit so I'm guessing something should happen automatically.
Bueller?!?!?!
Following my directions in thread 20634899 post #43. Make sure to read the whole thread as well as it gives some insight on the files you can use.

What kind of phone do you have? If it's a Samsung like the OP, it's a piece of cake. Read my guide for the Focus here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614107&referrerid=2943819 it has been reported to work on the Focus S as well. I can confirm the Focus and the Omnia7, both of which I owned. If you have a Dell Venue Pro, it's even easier. Go to EM (##634#) and do your thing under "MMS Settings".
Hello,
I want to buy Samsung Stratosphere 2 SCH-i415 from someone who got it from Verizon.
I don't live in US and I want to use it in other country. If I unlock it - can I use it with any mobile carrier?
Thanks
Hey, was looking around the forum for something else and stumbled onto this thread.
Maybe you've already solved this, but here's the answer is anyone else are looking;
First off, if the phone has been activated first time with a verizon sim card in the US already, it should be unlocked and ready for calling and sms. Verizon doesn't sim lock the phone, only lock APN's for GPRS/3G traffic (solution for that below)
Just bought this phone off ebay, got it to Norway and set about using it with a norwegian sim card.
First thing I needed to do was bypass the verizon setup wizard, as it just kept saying "non-verizon sim" and asking me to reboot.
The solution for this was remarkably simple, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=36lfn9sBo70
"1. Make sure you are on the select language screen.
2. Tap bottom left, Tap bottom right, Tap bottom left, Tap bottom right, Press Volume Up Key in that exact same order. Watch video if you are confused.
3. All Done. "
Next is rooting, need to do this for the next steps;
Depending on what software you have (4.0.4 or 4.1.2), grab the system image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078615 (page 8 for 4.0.4, page 7 for 4.1.2)
Then we want to remove the annoying "non-verizon sim" notification;
Use Titanium Backup pro to freeze the app called "Setup Wizard 1.0" (the one with verizon logo on it, not the version 1.3 one)
Job done. Now you can freely use any sim card anywhere for calling and sms (afaik)
For GPRS/3G traffic you will need to add your APN settings, but Verizon has locked this menu, so we need another way in.
I used "APN Manager Pro" to add my carriers APN data, the app found it in the database and did everything for me.
There are probably other, free ways to do this (editing apn xml file manually and so on) but I found this app well worth the few bucks they charge for it.
If you want to do it manually there are some other guides around here, and googling will get you some hints too.
The only problem I have left now is trying to get mine updated to Jelly Bean, as Verizon only uses OTA update, and won't let me do it from Norway with a non-verizon sim card, but I have faith we will find a solution for this too.
Otherwise a great phone for the full-qwerty addicts out there :good:
Hey I in sweden using a swedish sim card and I got the gprs/3g to work somehow without rooting. I managed to upgrade the firmware via wifi, and I think that opened the apn settings. but my main question is if its possible to open the 4G cause it only has gprs/3G now. and I wonder if u also just get gprs/3g or do get 4g also?
It can't be this easy can it?

Great thanks! I will be testing this out later today. I hope it works!
confirmation
hey guys,
i can confirm i got this working on china mobile with some changes.
didnt find a database option in apn manager. i found the manual data here: (pm for link. not enough posts to make links apparently)
also found in order to get apn manager to save a new apn i needed to make it a system app with titanium.
also found, you dont need apn manager at all. if you go to settings ->more settings->mobile networks->access point names and then hit the "menue" button (three vertical dots at the bottom right of the phone), you get an option to add access point. fill out your info, and hit that button again, and you will see an option to save.
hope that helps someone else.
Look at the thread [Q] Rooting the Samsung Stratosphere II? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078615&page=27) at page 27 post #262 how to get a rooted image of MF1.
And in the same thread at page 31 post #305 how to get a rooted image of MJ2 which is currently (feb 2014) the latest ROM version for Stratosphere II.
Thanks to kado01 for his work.
I has been confirmed that the Stratosphere II can be rooted by the saferoot method.
Look in the above link at page 26 post #257.
Since version MF1 you can easily access the APN settings. So, no need to install any APN manager.
I have simply added the APN settings for my network provider manually and it works great.
And finally please take a look at the above thread at page 31 post #308 and the following to help kado01 get an unbrick file for his problem?
I can't do it because I am unable to upgrade my phone to MJ2 with the MJ2 bootloader because I don't live in the US and my phone is not activated on Verizons network. I can only install kado01's MJ2 rooted image.
Thanks.
Add new APN possible
How to add apn to verizon samasung galaxy stratosphere 2 i415 (Root required)
(I found this from some forum while I was searching for how to add APN for my brothers Verizon S3. It worked 100%. All credits go to the guy who posted it there. I didn't remember the address. And sorry for my bad english.)
Go to market install BuildProp Editor
Once installed find and open Build Prop Editor
Hit the menu button and select Edit
Scroll to the bottom of screen and add the following lines
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
Hit the save button at the top right hand corner of the screen(looks like a disk)
Once this is done saving restart the phone
After restarting go to Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names>Menu Button>+ New APN
Add desired carriers APN info, when finished hit menu button and save
Power down and change to your desired SIM card if you hadn't already done so
Power back on and go to Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks> Access Point Names (if done properly you should see the APN data you entered for your respective carrier).
Select the respective APN listing and then you should have working data
Congrats you can now natively add in any APN desired.

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:

When I first got this phone back in March I bricked it the next day playing around with it. @petermg posted the firmwares for this device on July 24th. Luckily I kept it. Big thanks to him for sharing them.
This method also works on the Boost Mobile LG G Stylo LS770 which I have tested on AT&T, also.
Downloaded the files from the Sprint LG G3 SIM Unlock guide.
You will need:
a rooted device
Shortcut Master lite (in the Play Store)
Root Browser (in the Play Store)
files in attachment
1. Go to Settings/About Phone/Software Info and hit build number 7 times to enable Developer Options
2. Go to Developer Options and make sure Enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging is checked.
3. Root with Kingroot
4. Download Root Browser from the Play Store
5. Open Root Browser, go to /carrier/apps and delete everything in it.
6. Copy the files from the attachment below to the same folder /carrier/apps. Make sure the permissions are set correctly. 'node.db' needs to be set at rw-rw 0660, 'node.db-journal' needs to be set at rw 0600. You can use Root Browser. I had no issues.
7. Now to go /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and delete everything in it.
Now would be a good time to go to Settings/Mobile Networks/Network Mode/ and put it on GSM/UMTS
8. Power Down phone, put in your GSM SIM card, and boot on up.
9. Open up Shortcut Master lite and do a search for 'apn' without the quotes. We are looking for one that says Hidden Menu com.lge.hiddenmenu.ModemProtocol.ApnSettings. I attached a pic. Once you select it, you will need to hold down the recent windows button and choose New APN, or just select the one already there from Sprint/Boost and edit it. Your choice...
Once you are done adding/editing APN, don't forget to hit the recent window button again to save APN. If you just hit the back button, you will have to redo it. Once saved, then make sure it is selected. Your data should show up.
Things to keep in mind:
You might not get LTE. Sprint has different bands/frequencies than GSM.
You will get HSPA & HSPA+. I did a speed test on AT&T Go Phone SIM and was getting 12mbps easily.
I did a ##72786# BEFORE I did these steps. Every reboot it tries to do a Hands Free Activation. It doesn't mess nothing up, but just annoying. Also I get a message saying 'can't complete init setup due to GSM network' You can ignore that also. Also, since my device wasn't activated first, my hotspot options disappeared. I haven't found a way to put it back yet.
Signal Meter only shows 3G, but Settings/Status shows HSPA or HSPAP (+) (see screenshots)
I think the SIM card you are going to use has to be active? I tried a T-mobile SIM and didn't get no signal. My AT&T SIM was. Let us know, please.
To undo what we just did, just dial ##72786# in dialer. My Tribute 5 is bad ESN for Boost Mobile, so I can't activate it to get rid of the HFA or get the hotspot feature back. I'm sure someone here will figure it out.
I did do an extra step with Shortcut Master, but I don't think it is required. Its just another way to set the Network Mode to GSM/WCDMA/ when Boost Mobile actually gives us the option without leaving it out. Since it is a 'Global' Phone
Post your screenshots of some Speed Tests. Lets see what this phone is capable of.

Boost Mobile lg LS675
Hi, I have the exact same phone.. I did everything step by step all the way to where I'm to go to settings I did not get the option to select GSM. only LTE/CDMA and CDMA.
I rooted with kingo root, downloaded root browser, shortcut master lite, downloaded attach. files , deleted current files on /carrier/apps and pasted downloaded ones. I fixed the permission to node.db' needs to be set at rw-rw 0660, 'node.db-journal' needs to be set at rw 0600.. ,
I deleted the files on /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases.. Once I went into settings as suggested that's where i'm stuck since I don't have the GSM option. I will try to reset my phone to factory and starting fresh... hoping it might work. Any suggestions.. One thing I did notice is that once i restart my phone the files on /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases , re appear once I restart my phone.. If you can help me.. That will be so awesome!! If not I'll keep trying regardless.. Thank's in advance..
Okay so I was able to get it going following this similar steps..
1. root phone with kingoroot (2). download root browser and shortcut master lite from play store. (3) download attached files node.db and node.db-journal ( i placed them in root internal memory phone) (4) open root browser and navigate to /carrier/apps and delete original node.db,node.db-journal and replace with downloaded ones, hold each file and click on permissions to set node.db to rw-rw 0660, node.db-journal to rw 0600, (5). turn off the phone and add desired sim then turn the phone back on.(6).open shortcut master lite and search com.lge.hiddenmenu.jcm_only.networkmode. launch it. also I added to favorite and home not sure if its necessary but i did it. select LTE/GSM/WCDMA.. or select gsm only and then LTE/GSM/WCDMA and you will notice your sim connects to your network. Tested and working so far.. I will try apn and keep you updated.

I did do an extra step with Shortcut Master, but I don't think it is required. Its just another way to set the Network Mode to GSM/WCDMA/ when Boost Mobile actually gives us the option without leaving it out. Since it is a 'Global' Phone
Post your screenshots of some Speed Tests. Lets see what this phone is capable of.

Hi. if you want to change the icon 3g to 4g, just edit the ro.build.target_operador = SPR line, you can put ro.build.target_operador = att and reboot and see 4g. no matter which operator sim use. 4g icon always reflect

Couldn't tell ya, bro. Won't hurt to try, but be careful what you doing. I'm sure the firmwares ain't out yet in case you boot loop it.

Nope. Page Plus is Verizon. They have to put the MEID on the account just like Boost/Sprint. If said MEID ain't in the Verizon system, they won't take it.
I rooted and unlocked my LG675 Boost. After putting my SIM card (MetroPCS) in the phone still says Emergency Calls Only. What did I do wrong? I followed all the steps mentioned above. I even have the APN set to MetroPCS.
Any luck with Tribute HD rooting and unlock? Any help is much appreciated.

When I first got this phone back in March I bricked it the next day playing around with it. @petermg posted the firmwares for this device on July 24th. Luckily I kept it. Big thanks to him for sharing them.
This method also works on the Boost Mobile LG G Stylo LS770 which I have tested on AT&T, also.
Downloaded the files from the Sprint LG G3 SIM Unlock guide.
You will need:
a rooted device
Shortcut Master lite (in the Play Store)
Root Browser (in the Play Store)
files in attachment
1. Go to Settings/About Phone/Software Info and hit build number 7 times to enable Developer Options
2. Go to Developer Options and make sure Enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging is checked.
3. Root with Kingroot
4. Download Root Browser from the Play Store
5. Open Root Browser, go to /carrier/apps and delete everything in it.
6. Copy the files from the attachment below to the same folder /carrier/apps. Make sure the permissions are set correctly. 'node.db' needs to be set at rw-rw 0660, 'node.db-journal' needs to be set at rw 0600. You can use Root Browser. I had no issues.
7. Now to go /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and delete everything in it.
Now would be a good time to go to Settings/Mobile Networks/Network Mode/ and put it on GSM/UMTS
8. Power Down phone, put in your GSM SIM card, and boot on up.
9. Open up Shortcut Master lite and do a search for 'apn' without the quotes. We are looking for one that says Hidden Menu com.lge.hiddenmenu.ModemProtocol.ApnSettings. I attached a pic. Once you select it, you will need to hold down the recent windows button and choose New APN, or just select the one already there from Sprint/Boost and edit it. Your choice...
Once you are done adding/editing APN, don't forget to hit the recent window button again to save APN. If you just hit the back button, you will have to redo it. Once saved, then make sure it is selected. Your data should show up.
Things to keep in mind:
You might not get LTE. Sprint has different bands/frequencies than GSM.
You will get HSPA & HSPA+. I did a speed test on AT&T Go Phone SIM and was getting 12mbps easily.
I did a ##72786# BEFORE I did these steps. Every reboot it tries to do a Hands Free Activation. It doesn't mess nothing up, but just annoying. Also I get a message saying 'can't complete init setup due to GSM network' You can ignore that also. Also, since my device wasn't activated first, my hotspot options disappeared. I haven't found a way to put it back yet.
Signal Meter only shows 3G, but Settings/Status shows HSPA or HSPAP (+) (see screenshots)
I think the SIM card you are going to use has to be active? I tried a T-mobile SIM and didn't get no signal. My AT&T SIM was. Let us know, please.

Everything went great for me except for one thing. I accidentally deleted the original apn settings before i could edit in the ones I would need for T-Mobile. i can recieve MMS and voice calls but have no internet. Is there a way for me to see insert the settings I need without having to download and flash the whole Kdz file and start over? When I dial ##72786#, nothing switches back to default so I have to do everything in reverse but cant un-delete what is gone. I really appreciate any help. Thanks alot
Finally got it to work. Getiing good signal (talk,text,& data) using Family Mobile sim card. Thanks for the tutorial. Awesome

Hey. I wanted to help. If you successfully unlocked correctly, which it sounds like you did, you can use MetroPCS. However, you need to call MetroPCS first and let them know you are switching phones. You basically have to "ask for permission". This is why I hate Boost & Metro and never recommend the services to anyone. Metro will verify the imei is clean, then they will pair your sims iccid to the phone imei. After that your in business. Make sure you set your apn to get data working.
