I unlocked my wife's HTC One S T-Mobile for Straight Talk. I have added the Straight Talk APN, however I see that it has been added but the T-Mobile MMS & Data APN are showing a locked symbol and it will not let me delete it. She can only receive text & data by using WiFi at home because of that.
Can anyone help me?
Try factory reset, in Fastboot. Atention! This erase all in your phone!
Or if you make backup, restore in recovery.

I just bought a Samsung Focus unlocked from rogers. I use Telus, and the previous owner of this phone was telus as well
My problem is everything works except the DATA, he did a factory reset on it, would that screw up the unlock and not allow me to get data from Telus? I am an android guy who knows nothing about windows haha. Please help me out!

did you enter the apn values for telus in settings/cellular?
I also had to go into the engineering menu and change the apn too (I'm on telus using a bell LG quantum)
Moved to Q&A
appreciate it! , i found the telus settings for the apn and just had to input them and voila, working like a charm now.
Thanks!
Hello XDA-developers, I'm planning to root & load a custom OS into my phone but will my APN data get wiped?
your apn is normally loaded by default into your sim card, and rooting/flashing your phone will not erase that. however, in the unlikely case that you are unable to restore your apn, just google your carrier and apn. eg. at&t apn. or call them and ask for it.

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum, but trying to find an answer to my problem.
I have an HTC Sensation 4G from T-mobile running 4.0. Recently started Beta testing Solavei. I put the Apn settings that they gave me in the phone. I am getting 4G data, but I can't get mms. Ivemtried several suggestions of other users, but it seems none of them are using the sensation.
I saw a thread on this forum about a file that will reset the factory T-mobile APN, but I'm not exactly sure how I would go about putting the file in and if this would help. I am not really interested in rooting the phone or developing or anything like that.
There are 2 APN's solavei gave me. One for data and one for mms. There are 2 other t-mobile APN's in the phone (data and mms). I'm worried I might need to delete the tmobile mms, but since it's 4.0 I can't use back up and restor to do it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Try this go to Setting/Mobile network/Acces Point Names and then press the menu button. When the pop up menu appears select Reset to default. Then open the T-Mobile APNs and edit those APNs to the APNs for Solavei. Make sure press the menu button and select save before you back out of the APNs. Do this for both the data APNs and the MMS APNs.
Also if Reset to defaults does not remove all other APNs then do this. Select the APNs you want to remove and then press the menu button and select either Delete APN or Discard. One of these should remove the APNs. I think if you just edit the original T-Mobile APNs your device should work properly. But you may have to remove the T-Mobile APNs all together and just creat new APNs for Solavei.
Neither of those work, because the APN's are locked ( there is a little lock next to them). Reset to default just leaves them there and they are uneditable. I already tired both. But thanks for the advise. I'll keep looking for an answer.

Have you SIM unlocked your device? Also the APNs that the device is using should have a little green dot to the right of the data APN.
Edit: I reread your first post and I think you are talking about the PG58DIAG.zip file. This file will allow you to SIM unlock your device, you must be SIM unlocked to use another carrier with your device. You can find this file in this thread here. You just need to put the file on the root of your SD card and then boot your device into the bootloader and it will automatically scan for the file and ask if you want to install the update. Just follow the on screen instructions and then follow the on screen instructions when the diagnostic starts. Here is a hint when you are done running the diagnostic you will have to pull the battery and then put it back in. Also when running the diagnostic you want to choose yes for all the options it ask if you want to do.
I unlocked it using the htcdev. Is this different? The green dot is on the solavei data APN, but there is no green dot for MMS.

Yes SIM unlock is different from unlocking your bootloader which is what HTC Dev does. When you SIM unlock the device you unlock it so it can use any SIM card from any carrier, if you do not SIM unlock it you can not use the device on any other carrier but the carrier the device was made for. The thread you linked is just for unlocking the T-Mobile APNs to try and keep them from knowing you are using your device as a mobile hotspot for other devices. It has nothing to do with unlocking APNs for use with other carriers.
Ok, thanks. I will try the instructions that you sent me. Thanks so much!

Need help with APN
Hi,
I have HTC One S under Tmobile brand.
I have unlocked it and tried ATT sim card.
I am using the Net10 sim card under tmobile service.
The APN setting is by default are for tmobile and after creating the custom APN for Net10 it goes back to tmobile.
Again the phone is unlocked but I am not able to change the APN from tmobile to net10.
When I putting the ATT sim card it works good and there is no Tmobile apn at all but as soon as I am inserting Net10 sim card the tmobile APN shoes up again.
What can I do to remove the tmobile apn permanently.
Thanks in advance
I have this HTC Sensation 4G from T-Mobile (S-Off, rooted, now with CyanogenMod 9) and I wanted to use it with an H2O Wireless pay-as-you-go SIM card
that is currently in use in an old Blackberry 8700 phone.
Of course, upon inserting the H2O Wireless into the HTC Sensation, I was prompted to enter a "SIM network unlock code".
After getting the unlock code from T-Mobile I found out how to get the unlock code on my own - so yeah, the unlock code provided from
T-Mobile seems to be the correct one.
But:
* With the H2O Wireless SIM card inserted I have to enter the SIM network unlock code every time I boot up the phone or switch from "Airplane" mode to "Normal"
* After entering the SIM network unlock code, it says "Network unlock successful" - but the phone does not seem to pick up a GSM signal.
* Manually searching for network operators gives "Error while searching for networks"
* The H2O Wireless SIM card works just fine in this old Blackberry 8700 phone (with talk/text only, as I did not book any data services with H2O)
I found a similar thread where the solution was to "choose a different band", but in my case there are no network operators to choose from.
Enabling "Use only 2G networks" (in "Mobile network settings", CM9) did not help either.
In the same menu "Select network automatically" gives "Registered on network" after a few seconds, but the reception bar stays "crossed out" and shortly after
"Error while searching for networks" is printed.
So, I guess my question is:
* Why do I have to put in the SIM network unlock code over and over again? Is this related to CM9 being installed on the phone?
Should I try with a stock T-Mobile ROM? (Would this be "stock" enough?
* Even when the phone seems to be unlocked (until the next reboot), why is the H2O Wireless SIM card not picking up any signal?
Thanks,
C.
In my opinion, it is a bug in your rom.
I also bought my sensation with a SIM-lock and unlocked out with the network unlock code. Once entered, I was never asked for that again. But I used the stock ginger bread rom...
Your suggestion with trying a stock rom is good and the linked rom should be fine.
If you have a custom recovery, go into it, perform a full wipe except sdcard (sdcard should be formatted with your pc) and then choose install zip form sdcard and select the downloaded rom (check md5 is always recommended).
Try this please and give feedback or ask for more information

And it was! After I restored it to a stock ROM the phone asked once more to unlock the network and confirmed it with:
Code:
Successfully unlocked from the network...rebooting
And now the unlock was permanent. I flashed the phone with CM9.1 again and the network unlock is still in place. Yay!
Many thanks for encouraging me to try the stock ROM!
I switched carriers and paid off my Sprint bill. I requested my devices be unlocked and they have verified it is unlocked, however if I put my T-Mobile sim in it says Simlock enabled and It will not connect. I tried to go into setting and request UICC Unlock, but it says insert your original sim. I then shut down insert the Sprint Sim back in and when I try UICC Unlock it says The profile update could not be complete. Please try again later. Am I missing something? The last rep at Sprint told me to do a factory reset, which I did and also cleared device cache. Did not help. Same issue. Any help is much appreciated.
