newbie please help with activation

Hi,
I don't have a data plan but I was able to activate the phone for a single day using my sisters t-mobile sim with the $20 internet plan. It worked for just one day and hasn't been able to connect since. In the short time that it was activated I was able to installed the latest custom firmware RC33 by JF. I think it has telnet at recovery. I have no idea how to use the telnet feature from recovery mode but can someone tell me how to access to the 127.0.0.1. I the read tutorial by JF on how to activate the phone without a sim or data using adb and telnet so my plan was to connect to the phone using telnet from recovery mode and using the disable setup code or enable wifi code. I already tried connecting the phone to my computer but adb could not find the device. Can someone help me please .

You need to install the drivers in order to use ADB. The information is there

We're not mind-readers; If you want clear answers you need to word the request clearly.
- If you successfully activated the phone then it should no longer give you the login screen. Are you getting the login screen again or is it some other issue?
- What do you mean by "it worked for just one day?" What worked?
- Are you yourself on T-Mo or not? Do you have a sim card inserted?
- Are you trying to access the inet via wifi or do you have a dataplan with another provider?
- You should know that if you cannot get adb to work then all this is for naught. You probably don't have the adb drivers installed.
Imo since you obviously didn't have the technical capability to understand the rather complex directions in JF's thread, the best course of action is to just go and get a T-Mo dataplan. It'll save you and this subforum a lot of headache.

I have t-mobile pay-as-you-go, I used my sisters sim to get past the welcome screen because she has the $20 internet plan with t-mobile. After it was past the welcome screen I inserted my sim card and the phone didn't show the welcome screen again. However when I powered off the phone and powered it back on and the welcome screen was back. I again inserted my sisters sim card but this time it wouldn't connect to t-mobile. I tired various APN settings. So the phone is not activated. I keep getting the login screen. I am not sure what you mean by adb drivers installed? Do you mean on my phone? How can I tell? I have the android USB drivers installed on my PC. I am truly very sorry jashsu if I am wasting your time. I hope someone who doesn't mind helping a newbie can help me. I can't afford the data plan with t-mobile. My only option is to sell the phone. Thank you.

If you mean the usb drivers, I did install them.

i would suggest downgrading to rc29 again using your sisters sim with her data plan then sign in re-root then go into settings turn off all the google syncs then using your sim. although it is kinda pointless seeings how this is a data rich phone and unless you constantly have a wifi connection there would be no point in having this phone. but hey what do i know im still an above average newb ... no expert at all

For any of this to work, you have to the the ADB working, or Android Debug Bridge. You can search around on the forum, or go to android.google.com and follow the instructions for setting up the development environment.
But if you are just going to be using the phone for music, photos, gps and so forth, there really are much better phones for that purpose.

[Q] Broke my phone by tethering

I was using my phone for tethering following this post and it was working great.
Today in order to install the Mango Beta update I did a reset on my phone so that the backup step would be faster.
But I forgot to switch back my phone from "HTC Modem" mode to "Zune Sync" mode.
Now it just wont connect to the computer. I cannot install the same XAP file to enable the "Zune Sync" mode as the phone is not dev unlocked (it was dev unlocked before reset).
Now the phone is just recognized as a modem on my machine and Zune just won't recognize it.
I have searched google and the XDA forums but could not find any solution to this issue.
Any pointers to fix this issue will be greatly appreciated.

H8 to say it, but I think you are screwed because u can't unlock your phone. Talk to your carrier, make it seem like you are innocent, ask for a replacement and cross your fingers.
I am sorry

Have you tried reset via diagnosis menu?
Dial ##634# to get in Diagnostic mode and *2767*3855# to do a full reset.
After changing some settings in my omnia, it wouldn't connect to 3g, no matter what I did. I flashed roms, updates, did a reset via settings menu, called my mobile operator... today I did this reset and the phone wen't back to normal, so I assume that this reset is "harder" then the other

Tried this, its just for samsung decives. I could not find the Diagnostic code for HTC phones. Thanks for your answer.

Found the following on this thread:
Call ##634#
From the new debugging menu, enter: *#7284#
You see three options come up: Zune, Modem Tethered Call, Modem Diagnostic.
Then its easy to switch to Zune mode. But the problem is it just works on Samsung phones. I am not sure what the Diagnosis code for HD7 is. I have searched everywhere
I am not sure if I can call t-mobile for help as I had unlocked my phone and moved to another carrier.

Act all innocent and just say you have no idea why it won't update, tried on different friend's computers etc. Dont mention it's been unlocked as they will never find out how. However the replacement phone wont be unlocked so you'll have to unlock it again.
When I bought my Toshiba TG01 on Orange, I NEVER put an orange sim card into it, I used it with my O2 sim and I had it returned when it was 11 months

[Q] Transfer Photos Not Working

Hi all
Today I got my nexus 5, I am unable to copy my Photos from PC to my Nexus 5 using both options in the Nexus 5, whereas all the others files are being copied without any problem. It just gets stuck at some point while transfering the photos, and when the phone screen is on it gives error, unfortunatly storage/media stopped working and when the screen is on standby it just stops.. I checked both on PC with Windows8 and Laptop with Windows7.
please help me...

actually many, more then 1.5 GB

I think I read somewhere that there is an issue so what I did was break if down to a few groups. This way if it fails I know where, unmount then mount and try again. I know it's a pain but sometimes it's necessary.

doesnt show the contact name from the contact, shows the number only with international prefix only.

The photo transfer is an issue alot of us have dealt with. I can't either unless I break them down to small folders but thats a PITA.
i downloaded Airdroid instead. Dropped them in via the web. Worked very well

I have run in to this issue with windows, and linux. Even with different phones. Its the way Android handles the internal storage. MTP allows the phone and your computer access the storage at that same time. I tried a few different cables but didn't seem to matter. One trick that I used was to put the phone in to airplane mode on a fresh reboot. Start the copy from the computer and do not touch the phone.

[GUIDE] How to change APN for mobile data on Kyocera Brigadier

This guide it will show how to change APN on Kyocera Brigadier and get rid of Verizon Bloatware.
This is for those who use Brigadier in other network (country ) than Verizon USA.
This tutorial is for Windows only. (because drivers and Debloater software)
1. Go to Settings then scroll down to "About phone" and then down to "Build number". Click on the item 7 times in a row. This will say Now you are a Developer.
2 Open the "Developer Options" and mark "USB debugging".
3. First make sure you have installed correctly the drivers for Kyocera Brigadier and your computer sees properly the phone.
You can install drivers from here
4. Connect the phone and select Media Sync Mode. (now the computer must see your E6782). Cancel the installation of Verizon software.
5. Go here to download and install Debloater. (skip warnings of your windows or antivirus)
6. Open Debloater (your phone still connected to computer) (make sure the phone is connected before open Debloater)
7. In up left corner you have "Read Device Packages" - press it, (t will read the processes of your phone)
8. Check the apps (first column) or processes (second column) that you don´t want to use.
Search for qualcomm and check qcrilmsgtunnel.apk alias com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel (this is what block the editing of APN)
I checked all Amazon, Nhl, all Verizon except VZWService (it will mess the programmable button and every time you open the phone it will ask for program it)
9. When you finish to mark click Apply and wait for Debloater block all services.
10. Disconnect your phone and go to Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names and you will see in right corner a plus. Click it and introduce your Network provider settings and save.
Usually on name put whatever you want, on APN put net and APN type put default but you can check on provider's website for manual settings.
11. Check on mobile data, close Wi-Fi and verify if you have mobile internet.
12. Restart the phone and then go back and verify if you can edit again APN. (if not, repeat steps 6-10)
GOOD LUCK!

Hi!!
I've tried on my kyocera brigadier,installing usb driver for windows 7 64-bit,installed debloader (v3.15) and skipped the installation of Verizon software.
Usb debug mode and windows mediasync enabled.
I opened Debloader and the phone was correctly recognised by the program (2 green dot but not the one for the brigadier rooted naturally).
The problem is that when I click on the button that says "Read Device packages",it doesn't read anything! It is stuck on "processing 0 files..." and nothing else happens!!
Someone has had more luck than me?
thank you!!
P.S: mine is an Italian provider "Wind" and the proper apn is "internet.wind"

Sorry te hear this... Usually, all people who I spoke did it right and it always works. So I belive it's a problem with your software... Normally it should work. Try to uninstall and reinstall the software and the drivers... But if you say you see 2 greens circles idk what happens...

How to get Kyocera DuraScout in RO
Hi Obsy,
Can you please help me with some information on this phone, which version to get, from where and if it fully works in Romania. I am not really knowledgeable with phones...
1. Is the US Verizon version of e6782 (they call it Brigadier) capable of GSM connection?
2. There is a version for US small provider BlueGrass, do you know if this is the same as Verizon? of different is some way?
3. On Kyocera site there is also a version called DuraScout, is it the same as Brigadier? What I could understand is that Brigadier might be the CDMA version, and DuraScout the GSM version. Do you have an idea if this is so or not?
4. If we can change the APN in Romania to work on Orange, does it fully work? I mean LTE speed and HSDPA?
Do all other functions work?
5. Is The Verizon version locked in some other way than APN?
Thank you very much for your answer.
PS: I wrote in english because I see this is an english forum.

HI! Yes it's an international forum so usually English it's a must.
I will merge 1,2,3 questions and 4 with 5, so:
First, about Brigadier from Bluegrass idk to much things about frequency but I guess it's identically.
Between Brigadier and Durascout I always choose Brigadier because of Sapphire screen and dedicated camera button. What I don't like is the back of phone.
Second, the Brigadier works very well in Romania. (I'm on Orange too) It won't work LTE but HSPA+. I have a friend which said he could make 4G work (he did it on Hydro Life) but it must root.
Until we can make root there is some Verizon services who I can't stop but I don't bother anymore coz my interest was mobile data.
In the Bluegrass version I think exist much less bloatware but it's a little expensive...
Send me a message with your telephone number to discuss more.
Sent from my E6782 using XDA Free mobile app

Sorry, I made a mistake... A confusion between Durascout and Duraforce... So Durascout is identically with Brigadier the only difference is branding (Verizon vs Kyocera). Duraforce from AT&T is the one without Sapphire screen and camera button

How To Change APN For Mobile Data On Kyocera Brigadier
I got a Kyocera Brigadier today and made the change to allow APN changes. Then I tried a T-Mobile SIM card, but I get only data, no phone calls or texts. Does anybody know what I should try next?

Curious because normally we can do calls and sms but no data.... Only if u get a coded phone by Verizon and the things are a little complicated. From where you get the phone and how much?

How To Change APN For Mobile Data On Kyocera Brigadier
I downloaded Debloater last night and made the change to allow access to the APN Settings. At the risk of pointing out the obvious, not all cables are created equally. The first micro USB cable appeared to connect to the Brigadier, but I could connect with that software. I tried a different micro USB cable and suddenly Debloater was able to connect with the Brigadier and I made the update. So, just in case anybody here has similar problems communicating wiht the phone, give some thought to trying a different sync cable!

Are All T-Mobile Nano SIM Cards Created Equally?
As posted above, is there more than one type of T-Mobile nano SIM card? Here is why I ask. Recently I bought a Kyocera Brigadier.
-It phone works great with a Verizon nano SIM card.
-I unlocked it with Bebloater software to allow the APN settings to be changed.
-The phone works great with an AT&T SIM card.
-Today I stopped at a T-Mobile store, they removed a nano SIM card from an Apple iPhone 6 and the Kyocera Brigadier worked great.
-Later I stopped at a different T-Mobile store, activated a brand new nano SIM card and the Brigadier Kyocera turns off and on constantly with that SIM card.
So, I am just wondering why the Brigadier would work fine with SIM card that was already activated, but not with a new activation?

Great! Thanks so much, now data is fine.
I an in NZ, with 2Degrees mobile.
Phone worked for voice, but no data. (phone is version 1.102)
2 minor problems:
1) kyocera drivers have extension .MAN , need to rename to .MSI
2)Initially the usb debugging permission prompt on the phone was hidden behind some other app or something, so the ADB wasn't connecting.
So I am left with 2 issues:
- powerup FUD message: "This Sim Card is from an Unknown Source"
The fix is supposed to be to freeze the setup wizard, but I have done that from debloater, and I still get the message.

2) Can't do phone update. I suspect I need to get a verizon SIM card to do the update

Welcome!
I didn't managed to get rid of the annoying message...
For update the phone u must have an activated Verizon SIM card

Do you think it will work OK from overseas with the verizon card?
Not sure what to get, looking on ebay, there are a confusing plethora of sim cards, many of which seem to be specific to iphone or cdma and so on.....
-------
On another note here is another Brigagdier peculiarity:
This page:
teckfront.com/enable-home-button-wake-android-kitkat-4-4-phone
shows KitKat having a setup menu item
Devices->Buttons->Home Button Wake
On the brigadier this seems to have been replaced with the "Programmable Key" item.
Any ideas to get the default Kit Kat "Buttons" option back again?
I find the power button wake pretty cack-handed and annoying, and the programmable key is not very responsive.

I have the original Verizon SIM card which the phone came with but unfortunately I cannot activate it from my country... No signal... So none of Verizon function work.
Verizon input a lot of annoying things (software) to Brigadier... I have set the red key to wake up the phone. (you must long press the button)
I think there is a lot of apps that can remap the buttons but I guess it must root...
Sent from my E6782 using XDA Free mobile app

If you like, you can post the SIM to my son in USA, and I will get him to take it to a Verizon store, and ask them to activate it.
Can't really guarantee success - anything to do with US cellphone companies seems to be problems! But anyway, probably worth the cost of an envelope....
Then he can post it back to me, and I will send it to you.

Thanks for your help but to activate the SIM it is necessary a plan to be paid so I cancelled this idea.

They do seem to have paygo plans, and a $15 load looks like the min. $15 expires in a month, but most countries sims seem to live for 3-12 months without any load.
Todays problem is that there is no audio from my microphone to the person I am calling. My microphone is electrically and acoustically working as there is internal echo i.e. as I speak I can hear an echo coming out of the earpiece, and in speakerphone I can get feedback.
But when I call another phone, they hear nothing.
If I use sound recorder, nothing is recorded either.
Enabling everything I disabled makes no difference......
Do you know if I do a factory reset, will I need a Verizon SIM again to get the phone going?
Or can I get it working again with a local SIM?

You can do factory reset without any SIM, but I think it won't resolve anything... It might be an hardware issue. Better you can write to Kyocera about this problem. I have an annoying delay (the other person can't hear me for 1-2 seconds) after answering and another problem is a fizzle at every sounds played, even if the phone is on silent. These are software problems... So.. Good luck!

How to get the 8.0 verizon update

I have been looking and asking questions I finally found out how to force my phone to take the update. I had to pull the straight talk SIM card from my phone and put in a Verizon SIM card. Went to setting, applications, show system apps and uninstalled google play service updates. Also delete the data for google services framework. Checked for a update twice and it finally came through it took 1BA then updated to 1CA then found the Oreo update. I turned off my phone then put my straight talk SIM card in and turned it back on now ita downloading the update.

How did you get a verizon sim to work and download those updates, I was reading about how to take a sim from a verizon phone and you cant just put it in another phone and work, you have to change the phone on verizon site to get it to work under an acct. I have total wireless witch is similar to straight talk on verizon, (it is also through walmart) and when I try to upgrade my phone using the LG upgrade assistant tool that I installed on a windows pc it gets a message "device authentication failed" make sure your meid is valid. I dont know what to do. thanks.
