G'day all
I recently canned my Desire and got a Galaxy S II, and so far it's been brilliant ever since I whacked Lite'ning Rom 5 on it and used the jig I bought off fleabay.
I was wondering if anyone has a Telstra ROM that has all the market settings, MMS and Internet useragents, and some of the apps, and kindly extract them. I bought my phone outright from Optus, and of course I nuked all the Optus crap, because I use Telstra. I had similar problems with my Desire when I loaded a custom ROM on it, but there was stuff to fix it and I can't find anything to do it for the SGS2.
Thanks
Hello? Anyone?
I wouldn't mind this either. I bought my phone in hk and its never had telstra firmware. even if I could just try the telstra modem I would be happy, but I can't find it anywhere.

Ok everyone, I am a REAL NEWBIE and I've read most of the posts reagrding the SX56 and Rogers AT&T (Canada) but I really need some assurances and/or specific responses to my questions. Please help out if you can...
I want to bid-on / buy an SX56 on eBay and have it shipped to Canada for use on the Rogers AT&T network.
Do I need to do anything to get it to work on the Rogers AT&T network here in Canada. I understand I can simply use my SIMM card from my existing GSM phone.
However, I was talking with a guy from Siemens Canada today, and he cautioned me about buying a unit from USA because he suggested that they are usually "locked" for use with a particular carrier (AT&T or T-mobile). As a PDA or phone he felt that it would work. But, if I want to access the web, he felt I wouldn't be able to do so in Canada UNLESS the unit is "unlocked" and re-configured for use in Canada.
Does anyone know anything about this? Or even IF it can be done?
I am fairly competent with technology and computers, so don't be afraid be specific.
MANY THANKS, in advance, for all your help.... I really want to get this unit but they're selling in Canada for $800 CDN

The device does have to be SIM unlocked. There are tools on this site to do so if you need to.....and elsewhere as well. If it is not SIM unlocked you will NOT be able to use your existing card. If/once it is unlocked it will work on Rogers AT&T....mine does.
If you would like to see one in action, or see the new XDAII come to our users group meeting in Toronto tomorrow evening (Thursday)

...I'll be the guy with the Guinness hat on.
I'll see you there... are you serious about the Guinness hat? If so, I'll look for you.
Yup!
ACK! I wish I could go. I'm a good 8 hours' drive though, coming up from K'zoo, MI.
Howdy,
I've been using the SX-56 on Rogers for the past 4 months. Actually I just upgraded the radio yesterday and also threw on a cooked ROM and this is working so much better than before.
If I just knew how to make this work with the Rogers GPRS network for browsing life would be GREAT.
I have it set for
internet.com
user: wapuser1
pw: wap
no DNS
but is there something required in the dial patterns?
Anybody have any tips for GPRS on Rogers in Canada?
Thanks,
Jim
Have you SUBSCRIBED to a DATA PLAN with Rogers AT&T yet?
I understand that you need to add the DATA PLAN to your existing service for it to work.
Somewhere else in this Forum I read this... "You do not use goam, simply change that to internet.com and user name is : wapuser1 and password: wap. do not put any D.N.S. or anything. give that a try."
I forgot to ask you...
You UPGRADED the Radio? What do you mean?
Also, which "cooked rom" did you use?
I'm guessing that you need to "copy" the ROM file onto an SD Card and then load it onto your SX56??? Is that correct? What size of SD Card do you need?

Hi,
I do have a Data Plan with Rogers.
I think I need something modified in my Dial Pattern - not really sure how it should be changed.
Anyways - I went to www.yorch.net and went to the Upgrades. i was able to get a new Radio version for the GSM portion of the phone - simply download, hook up via cable and run the RSupgrade that is included in the zip - phone works 1000000% better now.
In the same site you can create your own ROM - i made one and added / removed different apps. Then i ran the ROM upgrade utility - I made it as an EXE and it simply redid my os on the PDA portion - took around 45 min to copy everything over.
I can't wait to get this working properly....

It should work with the settings you are using. How strong is your signal? If you have a weak signal it's not likely to connect.
Otherwise call Rogers and ask them to reset your acount, then wait a few minutes and give it another go.

Paragon:
Are you available to answer a couple of questions over the telephone tonight?
Did I give you my phone number at the meeting last week?
I've had my SX56 working relatively well with Rogers for a few months now too. However, I find that my signal is very weak compared to my faithful Nokia 8390. Do any of you guys have a problem with a weak signal?
I'm using ROM: 4.00.16 and Radio:6.12

Found a "deal" on a SGSII branded from Bell - I live in the south US and want to know if I throw a ROM (say Cog or a US dev. ROM) or even if I odin back to a factory ROM from an AT&T model - will this work? I cant think of something that would cause this to be an issue & I'm pretty sure it would get rid of the Bell boot up screens or any other branding but I am not 100% on that as I have never taken a out of country phone and attempted to do this before. I'm no noob with flashing but I'm also no developer either so your experience & assistance is appreciated!
(I searched & couldn't find this answered)
You don't need to replace the ROM. If the Bell phone is sim-locked, you'll need the unlock code; there's an unlocker program in one of the other forums that works with the earlier ROMs. IIRC, more recent ROMs have a different unlock mechanism that hasn't been reverse-engineered yet.
You can't replace the Bell ROM with an AT&T one, since AT&T doesn't have one -- no US carrier has released the SGS2 yet. The factory ROM will do the job; I bought a EU SGS2 back in May and have used it on AT&T since then. I get 3G & HSPA+ data at speeds up to 7 Mbps, using an old 3G SIM I've had for several years.
Hi,
I just got my docomo SIM with unlimited data plan.
But somehow i and the guy from the docomo shop couldn't get the data to work. APN is set to spmode.ne.jp
Here are my info:
Galaxy s2 international version.
CyanogenMod7
Maybe someone has some idea why it doesn't work?
Ask question in Cyanogen forum .

This question was there already asked but not answered.
Anyways, i reverted back to stock rom and the problem persits. So it's not a problem of cm.
Is it possible that the s2 doesn't work in japan? In detail, that data doesn't work? Calls work very well.
If someone got the german/international version to work with data in japan please tell me.
Hi,
I bought my galaxys2 in France and unlocked it. It is now potentially possible to use it with any carrier (and I tested it with two other french carriers)
However, I am going to Japan for my job for at least a few years and since my phone is only a few month old, I'd like to keep on using it in Japan.
It is my understanding that if in "about phone" setting window the phone version is "GT-I9000", it means that I have the "international version" of the phone.
Is that right ?
If so, will it work with any japanese carrier (docomo, au, softbank...) ?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this because it is quite hard to find answers about this issue...
tried Cellunlock.net and they were unable to get the unlock code saying it was not in the Rogers Database, Called Rogers and even they said the IMEI was not in their system.
Phone is from Rogers, want to unlock it to use on Virgin Mobile Canada, but unable to do it.
any ideas on where I can go from here to get this phone to work on my Carrier.
anything I can do via Root?
hmm the phone is not in their database? that sounds super odd, are you sure the phone is rogers? like sure? does it have the rogers crappy bloatware installed? I suppose you dont really know if the phone is rogers unless you actually bought it from them. (ie someone could have just installed rogers rom on it if you bought it off someone)
Ive unlocked s iii's from like every major carrier (telus, bell , rogers) never had a problem. You might want to try getting the code off someone on ebay too.
edit- also as far as my knowledge there is no root free unlock like there was on the s i and sii phones. so you are stuck with the code (for now anyway)
good luck
It was for sure a rogers phone. Ended up going to a different site and they unlocked the phone for me.
thanks for your help
Hello,
since I have flashed a custom ROM on my German T-Mobile HTC One w/o simlock (T-Mob_101), I can't use any SIM-Cards anymore nor can they be read. I also tried with the tape trick but neither that does help. I tried to install other ROMs (such as Google Edition and Android Revolution) but still no luck. I'm out of ideas and gonna throw that phone out of the window any time soon.
Please help me this is extremely frustrating, it's a quite new phone I don't want to send it to HTC for repairs.
My HTC didn't read Sim at all, I changed sim at operator office for brand new one - since then no problems
