Hey,
So I purchased an AT&T Samsung Focus off of eBay, and am using a Rogers SIM in Canada. I've read everything, and I am aware that a lot of people are getting this fixed, however everybody seems to be running NoDo or lower. Unfortunately, I am running the Mango "RTM."
I was able to get 3G working by setting up APN settings, but I can't get MMS to work, nor am I able to send out mass text messages (to more than one person).
Is there any fix for my Mango phone, without downgrading? Thanks!
There are multiple answers to this question on this very forum. Try the search feature please but this usually works for everyone that has mms problems. How to get MMS working on LG, Samsung, and HTC

I have already tried this, and requires me to downgrade to something that isn't Mango. Mango doesn't allow the "interop capabilities" library, and as far as I know there isn't any Mango registry editors.
Are you not unlocked? If you are unlocked then all you need do is make the provxml or use the one already made then use the samsung diag thing to run the provision. You can also try this which will show you how to run the provxml file to get the flag set.
Unfortunately, I am only developer unlocked, I should have mentioned that in the original post. My apologies. I want to downgrade back to NoDo, and re-unlock my phone but I don't want to lose my text messages. I'm almost on the edge of doing it, because having a smart phone without MMS is pointless.
Do you know of any way I can keep my text messages, or more specifically the ones from a specific person?

If you are developer unlocked then this should work. You just need to follow the instructions in that other thread to get the provxml file to your phone. On my original thread download the xap open it with winzip or winrar (or whatever) copy the Custclear.provxml file to a directory of your choice. And then just follow the instructions in that last thread I linked to make your samsung provision properly.
Alternatively you could try this tool which allows you to set the ADC flag so you can get your mms running again. Since you are developer unlocked you should be able to run that tool on your samsung.
You could also try downloading "Network Profile" app from the Marketplace in the Samsung Zone section. And see if that works

To my knowledge this is not possible yet.
I actually managed to figure it out, Samsung has a handy tool in the marketplace that does this all for you. MMS is now working perfectly. I had tried this in the past, but the Samsung marketplace was bugged for me.
So, for anybody on 7720 with a Samsung Focus without MMS working download the app called "Network Profile" under the Samsung Zone in the Marketplace.
Thank you for your help Laquox
I downloaded the network profile but do not see any options to make changes to the APN settings for MMS.

Hello guys. I am fairly new to this world and to this forum, so please take it easy on me.
I use a HTC P4351 Unlocked. I use it on T-Mobile network.
My First Question: The ROM version I have right now is - 4.24.422.1 WWE
Do I need to update it?? Is there a simple way of doing it??
My Second Question: Before I bought this unlocked device, I had\used T-Mobile Wing. This phone had this one app, made by "OZ Messaging". It was a client for AIM/ICQ/Y. Is there a way of getting a ROM with this app so that I can extract it from there, somehow? Or an app of this sort?? Another little problem with it is: I tried several applications like this. I need to have a connection to the internet. I don't have internet option on my phone. What I do have, is unlimited any kind of messaging. My guess is: it used my SMS gateway, since I don't have mobile net.
So to make this simple:
1. I'm wondering if I need to update my ROM?
2. Can I find a ROM, with it, or THAT separate application for my messaging needs? I would need this app to vibrate when my phone is set to vibrate mode? .
3. **VERY IMPORTANT** I don't have "Mobile Internet" on the device. I never never ever did, but that OZ Messaging client was still able to log on any three of those 3 networks. Whenever I needed to log on, in the log in process, it would to turn on my GPRS connection. I set that connection up myself. I found a way. So right now, whenever I send a Picture Message, it turns it on and sends it. I tested it out. Instead of entering a phone number, I enter my e-mail address, and it works both ways, it sends and if I reply to that message I received from my phone, it receives it back on the device. It used that "connection" for AIM/ICQ/Y before on the Wing also.
*** Basically the app needs to have a SMS gateway! ***
Is there an app that can use that kind of a connection/or is there a way for me to find this one?
Guys, please be as simple as possible. I'm not a "guru" in this field.
Thank You People. I hope I’m posting my question in the right spot, and I hope to get some help on this. Thank You once again.
use the search engine here in the forum "oz communicator" the cab is here in the forums just search for it hope this helps

Hey. Even if I find this *.cab file. I don't just need to find this *.cab file, but also need to figure out how to make this app to turn on the GPRS. That is what it did on my old T-Mobile MDA and on T-Mobile Wing. It used that connection to log in, and to send/receive IMs. (Via my SMS gateway)
So even if I do find this *.cab somewhere again, it won't work. AGAIN - is because I already found it once, and it didn't work, because of GPRS. Thank You
ok well i dont know what to tell you about gprs, thats something you have to find on your own along with the cab file, no one here is going to just hand you answers this forum is mostly for developers and those who want to learn how to cook roms and such, so there you have it and btw you posted in the wrong forum this is about rom dev not wing/herald cabs

If you used ChevronWP7 or Chris Walsh's tools to update your WP7 phone to NODO, and now you can't update to the latest May release (7932) then here is the fix you have been looking for! This tool allows the restoration of your phone such that it can be updated through Zune again. All credits goto Chris Walsh. No need to downgrade from NODO or mess around with your ROM!

http://blog.walshie.me/walshed-phone-support-tool-official-fix-to-get-you-back-on-track
Obviously use "wpst_x86_2.zip" for 32-bit and "wpst_x64_2.zip" for 64-bit Win7/Vista. Make sure you have at least .NET Framework 4.0 installed.
Instructions:
1) Sync your favorite WP7 to your PC
2) If Zune loads, let Zune sync with your WP7 phone, establish a connection, then kill Zune
3) Run the Chris Walsh program "WPST.exe"
4) Read the onscreen instructions and wait for the update to complete
5) Try updating phone in Zune after Chris Walsh fix

You need
- the phone to be unlocked (Chevron)
- WP7 Root tools
- Read Unbranding your phone for updates thread
- Read Prevent relock thread
1. Install WP7 Root tools.
2. Do the "Prevent relock" reg hack.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""
3. Do the "Unbrand" reg hack
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator
Edit it and instead of "ATT-US" (original value) leave blank
4. Connect to Zune and update to 7392
I have a Focus updated to 7392
LE: alternatively, you can also sideload and run Samsung Tools and tick "remove sideload limit", "prevent relock" and " enable 3g".
This hasn't worked for me, I am still getting the update error.
Any other suggestions?
I originally flashed an Ansar VF NZ rom, it allows me to update to 7008, but fails with 80180048 on 7392.
Hard reset, Walsh's tool. still no go..
Anyone?
Yes. Flash the Rogers rom and start over. Something's not working properly and you can try to spend a lot of time trying to find out what it is or you can enjoy the phone. Your call.
I'm suggesting Rogers rom, because the while AT&T has apps (will you use'em?) it doesn't support sms delivery notification. Also, Rogers rom is closest to original Samsung rom.

Yup. You can at least figure out if it's a software, hardware or firmware problem. GL
Did the update. Is there any reason to rebrand the phone after the update? Or can I just leave ATT-US blank?

If you really want the additional stuff AT&T will put in it, yes. Otherwise you can probably get the "official" update like everyone else. Again, your call

WP7 doesn't really have bloatware. All the preinstalled ATT apps can be deleted. ATT did provide a WiFi sniffer that looked for free ATT WiFi spots and automatically connected without intervention from the user. I think this and the ability to import ATT contacts came only to ATT branded phones with the 7390 update

That's what I said What do you call something you don't use and that occupies space otherwise? Plus you do have to delete those apps to free space, so those are extra steps. As for the Wispr, Mango (including this beta) offers this connectivity generic. For contacts, I have no clue what ATT contacts are but Outlook sync works perfectly.

I'm looking forward to the official Mango update, and will see what happens then. Thanks for all your good input!
Alright ladies and gents I come to you for a bit of help. I have been running 7712 since it's release. I rarely get mms messages but the other day I got one. Problem is I can't seem to open it. I just keep getting "Get media content" message.
I thought about going to AT&T about this but since I am running beta software I know how those people can get.
A few things I have done:
1st: I have no problems with 3g or data (such as internet, streaming, etc)
2nd: Manually set the APN to both of AT&T's options per their website. (No luck)
I have scoured the forums as best I could with it's limited search functionality and best answer I could find was a thread that said to
"Run ADC option to automatically configure Data and MMS settings on reboot." Now I know I can do this via provxml but my problem is I am not certain how the key would look nor the correct way to write it so that provxml will provision correctly. (Any help would be greatly appreciated)
Or is there a HTC version of the samsung tools that will automatically trigger this flag?
Thank you for any help.
I'm thinking it's an AT&T problem, cause last night my phone switched to Edge, eventhough I've always had full bars&3G in my house.
Samsung Focus-Mango
Solved
After a lot more searching this is what needs to be added
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\AutoDataConfig]
"RunADC"=dword:1
"ConfigurationStatus"=dword:0
"Attempt"=dword:0
"MaxAttemptsAllowed"=dword:3
Attached is a pre-built prov deployer for anyone else having MMS issues and this will in fact work.
The attached .XAP file didn't work for me, but editing those entries manually did. Finally have MMS working with my LG Optimus 7 on T-Mobile USA. Thanks
wow it worked on my lg quantum unlocked to tmobile. thanks a bunch
Thanks man!!! That was the solution to my mms problem too! =)
Can someone help me with this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE??
I think this is what I need to get my MMS working on my AT&T HTC Surround on my t-mobile network.
Everything works except me receiving or sending MMS messages.
Where do I download this file to? I downloaded Mango but I have no idea how to use it.
Your phone needs to be developer-unlocked to install XAP files. There are already a few posts on this forum explaining the different ways to get dev-unlock. ChevronWP7 Unlocker won't work unless you're still on pre-NoDo (build 7004/7008, definitely not on Mango), ChevronWP7 Labs may be available by now, though (if not, then soon).
Once you have dev-unlocked your phone, you can use any XAP deployment tool to install the app. There's an official one that comes with the tool download from create.msdn.com. However, in order to use this particular app (or any app that needs to edit the registry), if you're on Mango you'll need another step for Interop-unlock. Refer to the Development and Hacking sub-forum for info on interop-unlock. If you haven't actually upgraded to Mango yet (phone is on build 7389, 7390, 7392, or 7403) then you can install and run the app without needing anything more than dev-unlock.

Thanks as well. This worked for me.
Can't believe how simple it was to do.
By the way, if you guys have Advanced Config installed, this is just the registry values for "Run ADC" (Auto Data Config) which is an option in ADC. Juuuust thought you might like to know. Thanks @Laquox for providing the values and app anyhow, though!

I did have advanced config and the checkbox for ADC was checked. However it still didnt work. Doing this did the trick.
Am I doing something wrong with Advanced Config. Should I have cleared and re-checked the box or something?
Well, I think ADC does require rebooting, but otherwise what you did really should just be the same as checking that box. Mind you, some versions of Advanced Config work better than others...
I did everything mentioned in this thread and still nothing worked I have an unlocked samsung focus on straight talk. Any Ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, I'm looking for some help, I've just recieved a new lumia 800 an it's using my old trimmed sim on o2. I've read the thread on the Network Setup app but when I try to install it, it comes back with an error saying "Can't download file Windows Phone doesn't support this file type."
Now by the looks of it, it could be because my phone is legit and I was wondering if there's a way to sort out MMS without having to be sneaky?
Regards,
Stevie.

Did you download it trough the market place? That is weird an error like that seems like you were trying to download it in the browser. You cant download xaps etc trough the browser (well only on fully unlocked htc devices).
If you did download it trough the market place than that is quite a strage issue. You can try if you can edit some settings in "cellular" (eg Edit APN), but as I never use MMS idk if this will fix the MMS issues, it will fix 3g issues.
I followed a link to zune but there's no install button and I can't find it on the marketplace on my phone? It's just not there :/
Hello! I just got an unlocked at&t surround phone for christmas. I use simple mobile from t-mobile. The phone makes calls and sends texts but will not connect with the 3g internet or send MMS. I have already been through older posts here looking for an answer. everyone talks about an app in the marketplace called connection setup. I have seached the htc market place and the general marketplace and i cannot find it. Is there any other way? or am i possibly not looking in the right place?
Any help you can give me is welcome! if i cant fix the phone i will have to sell it and i dont want to I love it!
thank you!!

You won't be able to connect to 3G on that phone running T-Mobile. They use different 3g bands and it is hard coded into the hardware. As for mms you need to make sure your apn is correct
So it will only work with AT&T?

Custom ROM for HTC Mondrian (Surround)
I have tried using the custom ROMs by DFT and Ansar, but the Intrinsic ROM seems to be the best. It has 7.10.7740.16 version and Internet Sharing. TouchExplorer and Registry Editor work on it. I have only two issues - TouchExperience is throwing an unhandled exception error and i am not able to update to 7.10.8107.79 through Zune.
An update - i didn't want to continue using a ROM which doesn't allow updates, so i tried Ansar's RUU_Surround_Cingular_US_4.03.502.01_Radio_5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U_NT_Mango_7720 again.
Again, Zune did not show the 7740 and 8107 updates, but i was able to install them using WP7+Update+Cab+Sender.
So i finally have what i was looking for - an unlocked phone which can be upgraded to tha latest os version.
Almost ideal, except for one key ingredient missing - Internet Connection Sharing. I've tried DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS and it has resulted in the internet sharing option showing under Settings. However, i get an error msg 'Internet sharing isn't enabled yet' when i try to turn on the feature.
Hoping that Ansar will read this post and provide a solution soon!
