Please advice, I'm using hd2 android - tosti v10. Need to get usb Internet from hd2 to big brother. I tried to use pdanet - no luck - writes no connection. Can you suggest what to do? And htc sync does not work either. wanted to ask this in the developer's thread but the number of messages is not enough. Please help, because I need it badly.

Hi,
I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.
I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.
I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)
Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.
Any help is appreciated
Scott
Hi, welcome to XDA! You would need to flash a chef's cooked rom (must have HardSpl 1st). Check out the Blackstone section of this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
Also, read the Sticky's!
How do I determine which one of these posts is relevant to my HTC Touch HD...?
When I search for this there are a lot of listings.....can you point me to one that might be specific for my device and location
Apologies as I am new at this....
Thanks
Scott

Scott, just click the http link in my above post and then do your search
Thanks for that I can see those instructions and will attempt to follow them...
A further question should I attempt to first use the following ROM upgrade link from HTC to see if it resolves my problem. Rather then using the previous reset instructions...
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
Or will this simple return me to the current state with the Telstra settings in place ?
Thanks

Hi,
Before I work use the post above to re-install the ROM on my HTC Touch HD....could I confirm the following...
- will the re-install of this mean that I will not be able to take updates to the ROM from HTC in the future
- will this process work for me as an Australia mobile phone user ?
- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use
Once again thanks for you help......I am new to this and want to make sure that I don't stuff the phone that have
Thanks

- You can make any update in the future, cooked ROM´s from XDA are much better than any "official" version
- It should work
- Yes
Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?
HI,
Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.
I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.
On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.
I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks so much in advance.

hi sarah,
just wondering how did u get rid of the quicklinks off the the home screen, im not happy how they can not provide a phone in its original state!!any other important tweaks i should do when i purchase the phone??
waprd.telstra
I'm having the same issues any waprd.telstra sites will not work in a wifi enviroment. While I'm asking does anyone know hoe to changes the icons in the telstra "news and sport" or "social web" screens" ?
Hey Magic3091
Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS
I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.
I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.
Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.
Cheers

Before you tell me to go away "newbie" or point me to the search function, I've searched everywhere here and google. I've found little. I'm a total newbie. Heck, I'm just a 2 year old girl. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bump..........
You can't.
WinMo 6 can share via USB or Bluetooth using protocols that neither of which are supported on Honeycomb.
Sorry buddy.
Edit: See below. If your phone supports Wi-Fi tethering than you're (maybe) golden.

My HTC HD2 with WinMo 6.5 has a Wi-Fi router option in the system page(accessed via the Windows symbol button). I've used it to access the internet from an ASUS notebook, I'm hoping to use the same thing when my Transformer arrives. It should just be like using any other wireless access point.
you can check out a vid I did awhile back. It may help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFHDVrtp9-E

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?

Yup or one of the carriers outside the US that use the same bands

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!
Hello there.
Xperia M4 Aqua user here. My USB connection with PC is broken and im looking for alternative. ES File Explorer had a feature that lets you connect with your PC via Wi-Fi on a local FTP server (still not perfect, as it didnt let you preview media on FTP), but im done with ES since there is more junk than I can tolerate and after recent "sensitive notifications" in question, and im really only interested in a Wi-Fi connection. Note that im aware of PC Companion being able to connect via Wi-Fi, but it requires USB connection to setup it so its not an option for me anymore. I want to be able to transfer files from and to my PC, using phone.

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Try file sharing apps like Shareit.It has a desktop client too.

Hey, thanks for the info. I just checked SHAREit (is this the one?) and i dont like it already. Connection with PC requires version 3.0 or above and they dont even link to it on their official website; maybe thats just the case for Windows 7 app though, i didnt check. Also, just like ES, it has way too many things i simply dont need. And there are reports of various problems with the app, such as slow transfers and other, shady things. So id rather skip that one, unless theres no better alternative. You said I should try other apps like this, any specific ones you could recommend? I need names because i bet theres loads of junk in app store and I dont really want to install random things, hence asking on XDA for recommendations.
