Hi guys,
few days ago I've decided to move forward with Fusion Update 7 ROM to Fusion Update 8. Procedure was about normal beside the fact I had also purged SD card. Upgrade went well, but:
I cannot get mobile connection
No SMS can be sent
No matter which ROM/RADIO I had flashed after my previous move everything beside those two is working. So I can get WIFI connection or receive SMS, I can also call and receive calls.
My configuration:
- Hardware: HTC HERO GSM (white)
- Recovery: AmonRa 1.7
- ROM: FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v2.2 (at the moment)
- RADIO: 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01 (at the moment)
Additional info:
- SMSC is set correctly (checked using *#*#4636#*#*)
- APN list is correct
- rollback to vanilla 1.5 ROM from RUU not helped
- other SIM cards from other carriers work the same way
I trying to get some debug information using adb, but only thing I can find is that ppp connection is missing in netcfg.
Do anyone know how to initiate Mobile Connection through adb shell ? or anyone get similar problem before?
Thank in advance,
Problem solved. During messing with ROMS my SIM card must been somehow damaged.
After more tries with other SIM cards my phone started to work finally.
You are missing the correct apn settings for your mobile data and also missing or have the wrong SMS service number, have a search on the forums here, or Google and you should find them. Always worth backing these up or writing them down, as not all rom's have necessarily got all providers son's included.

Thank you for fast reply.
I checked those before:
SMSC:
- refreshed with *#*#4636#*#* and those looks correctly for my carrier
APNs:
- there where missing fields in APN config which I've updated according to carrier configuration
Still nothing had changed.
I assume that it must be some kind of config that do not change between ROMS.
(I will update first message with those info.)
Did you checked with an other SIM/carrier?
Yes I did.
Effects where the same.
I've also rolled back to vanilla 1.5 ROM from RUU. Nothing changed.
It must be some kind of external configuration that is not changed via ROM replacement. Can this be true?
Thread moved to Q&A.
Guys, I do realise Lenovo S750 is a new device, but since it's running on MTK6589 maybe there are any firmwares that can be installed on this device?
I got it with original chineese firmare, and since I managed to install google play store, I'm having some problems with GPS fix, and cannot cope with that. I think it's the firmware problem.
Do you have any info, concerning this model, or a modded firmware that can be used? I assume, the MTK6589 are not all the same, and the firmwares cannot be used as a replacement?
I've tried many times, but fortunatelly I've managed to run GPS also.
As a solution I paste for future how to run google play store and GPS firs for chineese MTK6589 chipset. Maybe someone will need it in the future.
Just one thing - make sure your phone is rotted - I got mine chineese already rooted.
You need a rotted file explored - I use ESfileExplorer - link below.
Download and copy the content of zip archive below. Copy this to either to you SD card, ord phone storage - just to locate it no problem.
Then run ES explorer (or any other), find that archive you copied above, and select all the files within. Copy them into system/app (make sure your root options in setting are all "checked"). Then find theese files in system/app dir (helpfull sorting the files by modification time), and change their atrributes to READ (all three USER/GROUP/OTHER) / WRITE (only to USER), leave everything else blank.
After that restart your phone. Then you should have the google play store available - enjoy
As for GPS fix, after doing the above, turn gps off, run explorer, and go to data/misc dir, find mtkgps file, and delete it, restart the phone. Ensure you wifi or net connection is on. Download Better GPS application, and GPS TEST from play store. Run bettergps - choose your continent and country. Then go to settings/ location access, run GPS there and tap it. Next enable EPO (download latest) and AGPS. Run GPS TEST place the phone either outside under sky, or near the window. It should connect within few seconds. If it does, you can disable AGPS and EPO, also uninstall BetterGPS app. For me, it catches fix in few secs now :laugh:
if any questions feel free to ask - ENJOY!!!

I don't know, what you're talking about, both GMAIL and preinstalled business calendar work no problem..... can you pls explain it?
Gmail works OK (Using GMAIL app) but the native email doesnt work, so other non-gmail accounts don't work - I have Exchange server & Hotmail accounts
The business calendar works but can only do a local (phone only) calendar so the exchange calendar doesnt work.
I use my phone for work and not having a calendar synced with exchange is critical.
Also I need to use other email accounts.

Ok since I don't use anything else except google - I can't veryfy what you're saying.
Maybe you should wait for other firmwares, which surerly will coume out soon
Yes, trying to find alternative. In the meantime, I tried to install GAPPS but didn't manage. I believe my first step is to install a cCWM recovery, but I haven't been able to find anything for this phone.
(Note - coming from Moto Defy; this process was easy - I'd download GAPPS then go into CWM; install ZIP from sdcard and bingo....
The recovery installed only allows updates and clean cache; no way to install a zip.
Any help on this appreciated as otherwise the phone works fine. However until I get mail & calendar working have to remain with my old Defy...

Here's another firmware from etotalk http://ge.tt/62Cz6Jl/v/0 it seems it's working well, calendards and sync are working. Comes rootted already, and with xperia lancher.
You just need to pun in the rom folder another file (which I don't know why is missing) secro.img look below - just paste the file in the unpacked rom folder before you run a flash tool.
Method of instalation, excatly as described in the 4th post from the begining- you just need flashtool and drivers - all explained up
In case of questions, feel free.
sorry edited double post

Indeed I have phone storage or SD card to choose.
But whatever choice I make, the phone reboot & the SD card seems to be absent when I ask to change location from one or other app installed before.. It changes location from phone storage to internal storage but no sd card..
Quick system info show me that :
SD storage : 2go
Second SD storage : 25go (my external sd card)
Internal storage : 1go
System storage : 640 mo
Cache storage : 250mo
Memory : 1 go
How could I choose the second SD card tho ?
Problem external card
