Hi everyone, well i been working on this all day and have finally gave up..
Right now, since i flashed about 2 weeks ago, i still have not had a working data connection.. always fails. GPS works great, but useless if i cant use google maps, and my main reason for purchasing the phone was for the data connection.
I would really like to talk to any fellow *Telus* members that have GPS working + data connection. I seem like i have done everything i can.
Also, if i cant get the data connection working, I was wondering if anyone knows where i can get the OEM Telus rom. I would like to revert back to a stock phone, radio/bootloader/rom the whole kit--incase i want to send it back to telus
Thanks
[edit]
Im currently running dcd 2.2.3 rom
radio 3.27.00
[UPDATE]
See my last post for info on how I fixed my problem!
I am having similar problems on my XV6800. I first went from stock to 1.6.10 with no problems, then up to the 2.1 to 2.3.1, no problems. I then downgrade to try out 1.7 and now I cannot get data to connect. Everything else works fine, but no data. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I've followed the same "upgrade path" as you and now have the identical problem with my vzw xv6800 and dcd's 1.7.0. I posted in dcd's 1.7.0 kitchen thread since this one's title didn't really match.
So i guess the real question is how do we revert and go back to a stock device so we can try again from the start?
Its weird, so many people have their gps & data connection working fine. I know for me, all i have found is sprint information which is useless for me as a telus client again, any of you telus users out there id like to know your secret
I was having data problems when I first upgraded. If you can try going to settings, personal, phone, services, internet, initiate IOTA, see if that works. If not you may need some programming on the end of your carrier. After calling Sprint it got sorted out and my internet works just fine now.

I tried reverting back to a stock rom and that wasn't the case. I'd recommend calling your carrier, but don't mention in the process that you are using a custom rom.

After flashing this rom I can't establish a data connection.
Here's the "upgrade" path I've taken on my vzw xv6800.
Stock -> Olipro 1.20 -> 1.40.00 radio -> various dcd 1.6.x roms and others -> Olipro 2.40 -> 3.27.00 radio -> various dcd 2.x.x roms and others -> Olipro 1.20 -> 1.40.00 radio -> dcd 1.7.0 rom.
I've never needed an A-Key or had a problem with voice or data after a flash.
The data connection seems to reject any username/password I enter. I've tried using u:<number>@vzw3g.com p:vzw, and leaving both blank and checking "save password", neither work.
I can make/receive calls fine, IOTA seems to work fine.
I've tried flashing a rom with dcd's BuildOS defaults, and one with only a carrier change to vzw, same behavior with both.
I've found one other person that followed the same upgrade path, and has the same problem, in this post.
Any ideas?

You have previous data session active from other ROM build. So your account is still logged in on verizon server.
It's like IRC when you get disconnected from internet, then reconnect and login to IRC and see your previous name is still in the channels. You need to wait a bit for it to "timeout".
Have to either call verizon and have them kick off the ghost, or turn off your phone, take the battery out, and wait about 20 minute.
Goodluck!

My phone doesnt have the Internet option there. I also installed iota.cab but something tells me its sprint specific, it failed aways.
I called *22803 and did the over the air programming that way. It fixed a roaming issue i originally had... somehow after the flash i had ended up with a wrong PRL.
One thing that i have noticed that is very odd. When i enter ##778 and click edit and enter my unlock code and click the View Info and M. IP Default Profile. The NAI value is my hex esn and sprint in the form of an email address!
When i was writing down my provision data (before my first flash) i did a quick look thru of all the options and that value was [email protected] -- not sprint.
Its weird that im a telus user, yet have spring information in my phone.
Further down the list is HA Shared Secret and AAA Shared Secret. These have strange data that i think are probably wrong if the NAI is wrong as well.
Any ideas?
When I first called Sprint they had me replace the HA and AAA secret stuff, but it didn't help me. Somewhere along the lines some of my data was lost and needed to be reconfigured on their end. That may be what has happened to you. You might try downgrading , but in my experience it did nothing, I was still unable to use data when I downgraded.

did they have you clear the fields? or enter some info? im afraid to clear it just incase and it would be *super* hard typing it back in lol
They had me retype the HA and AAA, but that wasn't the problem. I think it is best to call them up and see what they have to say. Just tell them you've done a hard reset and then your data connection quit working. Don't let them know you flashed a custom rom and tell them you think you need to reprovision your data connection. That should get it sorted out.

Calling vzw and playing dumb fixed this for me! They "reprovisioned" my data.
And just so we know what might have caused this,

I managed to answer my question about stock telus rom.. and managed to get back to factory defaults... everything worked--even data!
So now i need to find a rom made for us telus folk that that i can try out. Can anyone upload the one that works for them to a fileshare site? I am specifically looking for a rom that works on the p4000.
Also, I have tried cooking a couple roms using dcds 2.3.2 kitchen but not luck -- still no data connection. So fustrating being the only one without a data connection lol

I called telus and played dumb aswell. I asked them if its possible that things got screwed up on their end such as having a phantom me still logged into the data service but the lady said that it was impossible. I also asked if there was anything reprovision yadda yadda..
All she suggested was check my MDN and MSID and if that was ok (which is was) then take it in for warranty.
With all that said and done though, flashing to the stock rom worked. so some how the roms i have been trying just arent allowing me to use the data connection
I don't use Telus so I'm just guessing, but when you "played dumb" did you simply say that you can't establish a data connection after doing a hard reset?

yeah i told the i did a hard reset because my today screen messed up
I am with telus, mine is working perfectly.
Been using different version of DCD roms. I was having lots of problems. like the phone freezing not connecting to active sync after installing programs. I have since cooked 2.3.2 rom and been using it for a few days. Everything seems to be working perfectly.
maybe try flashing your radio again? I was gonna suggest your MSID..etc. But it seems you have checked it with Telus already.
Have you looked in modem and make sure you have #777 in there? (I am sure telus prolly would have had you check that...but just incase)

Also have you tried changing your NAI Value?
my is [email protected]
and DUN NAI: [email protected]
AAA Shared Secret: Should I be sharing this?
Perhaps try doing and RTN reset then reprovisioning your phone? RTN reset is a hard reset that also wipes all provisioning data to defaults. Then you will need to reprogram your phone with MDN and MSID. Only proceed if you know your MSL, MSID, and MDN. Or after doing the reset have Telus walk you through reprogramming your phone.
##786#
menu->reset
Heres what i did on my latest flash using a rom someone else has no trouble running:
flashed from the bootloader screen after the device makes a beep on the computer
first boot, set up screen by tapping points
rom makes customizations and does a reboot
i check my MND and MSID via ##390215 - everything checks out (its my number with area code)
next i head to phone settings and check the number is good there. yep
now i attempt to call my voicemail - works
i call someone - works
next i wanna test data so i first have to set up modem...
Settings > connections > connections
Advanced > select networks - I choose a name "my isp name"
under modem tab i add new and select a name for it "my connection"
next, enter #777 for dialup
fill out user/pass (user being my phone + @1x.telusmobility.com and pass being esn decimal form)
i click finish and open up pie
enter a website - www.google.com
pie tells me its invalid and does not try to even start a data connection
I try installing google maps, so i copy cab to sd card, in file manager copy, nav to My Documents folder and paste
I get access denied. be certain there is enough memory yada yada and same thing happens when i try to copy a file to the sd card -- weird
so i try use camera take some pictures, they save to the sd card and not the internal space - and manually copying doesnt work either
so i check how much space i have free... Storage total: 167.40mb inuse 3mb free 164.35mb, program: total 46mb in use: 23.77mb free 22.23mb
storage card tab says i have 1857.91 mb free
Activesync will not let me connect to the device so i cant try installing software like that.even though i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it, seems to be device issue due to rom
so i double check my device settings: ROM version DCD 2.3.2, Radio 3.27.00, browser msie 6.0, ESN is correct in hex form
at this point i dont know what to do
tried to make this as detailed as i can so someone can possibly tell if i missed a step along the lines somewhere
I think you problem is here:
# next, enter #777 for dialup
# fill out user/pass (user being my phone + @1x.telusmobility.com and pass being esn decimal form)

There should not be any username/pass there...at least I don't and it is working for me. I think it is more to do with your ##778 under you NAI...change it there...
So I want to provide as much info as possible to fully understand what's going on. So yesterday I unlocked my HTC Pro (Sprint carrier) and flashed a new rom (NFSFAN's WM 6.5.5) After successfully flashing the rom I hard reset my phone just as instructed. After attempting to go online, access email, and doing anything that had to do with data connections I realized I didn't have the data plan on my phone. So I called Sprint to have the data plan on my phone. But for some reason I'm still having trouble accessing anything data related, internet, email, etc. I called technical support and they told me I had to update profile by going to the start menu then settings. But I didn't see this option in settings. Keep in mind that I don't have the stock Sprint rom which is what they were guiding me with. I told them my phone is customized so everything is different. So they told me to either browse through the phone until I find this option or hard reset it and go back to the stock Sprint rom (which is my last resort). The error I keep getting is "Cannot connect, dialed: #777, check your connection settings."
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
iam also having problems with data and im using boost service but i do have data connection but when i try to use any data it doesnt respond . and i cant find this option to update profile either. any help?
Boost Data fix
(1)ReApply stock shipped rom for sprint 1 in following link: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42741
(2)update prl
(3)do hard reset when complete
That should do it!!!
You can flash to whatever rom you want after this without data worries as long as rom is data capable i assume
Hi there!
Im happy about my new S9+ (international DUOS variant available in germany), im just about to set everything up. Now, to keep my old phone as long as possible, i have not inserted my german T-Mobile SIM yet but already customized a lot on my S9+.
Now i've read here at XDA that the first time you insert a SIM into the device it will trigger a reset, no matter what you do and all my setup and customisation work will be lost for good...
Is there any way to prevent this hard reset?
I read about this method for a Samsung J3 smartphone:
1. Ensure you have set a PIN on the phone.
2. Shut it down, remove battery, insert SIM.
3. Start it up, wait till it gets to the initial lock screen. Do not enter the PIN.
4. Force the phone to shut down again..
5. Power it up again. After entering the PIN, the SIM should be detected and join the cell network, with no "security" reboot and factory wipe.
Can anyone confirm this?
Otherwise i would use the Samsung Cloud Backup to restore my settings later, hopefully this samsung backup is working...
Any other ideas? Thank you!
Ok people, i have tried the procedure i have mentioned above and my phone did not reset itself. It was the first time i have inserted a SIM, so this may actually work. But remember, i dont have a SIM-locked or branded phone, maybe those behave different.
On the other hand i cannot confirm that it would have done this reset in the first place if i just put in the SIM.
So i can only tell you to try out this method, it wont hurt your phone. And if it works it will save you a lot of time.
