I have one problem - with stock firware - not all operators work. But i i install custom firware - it works, so the problem is software related, so maybe someone knows what files i should copy from working ROM to stock rom to be able use that operator?
what you mean by operator ?

There used to be a bug on the xperia mini (pro) where it failed to save the manually entered APN data unless you removed pin protection from the phone.
Maybe it's still there.
So what you can do:
- remove PIN protection from your phone/sim card (for a while)
- manually edit the APN for your carrier and save
- test whether it works (should be ok)
- re-apply PIN protection for you sim card
I think that's the easy way

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.
Happy new year to all in XDA! whell now, the question: i use a rom based on V20A (brazil) and when i enter in "About the phone -> Status" i can see my phone number and operator! it only say "Desconocido"(Unknow) in spanish.
I test some rom based in other version and have the same bug, how i can fix this? or how i can add the info of my operator in venezuel "Digitel"?
why i need that? because i can put my photo to the sms system and other thing related to my profile, like sync with facebook, twitter, etc...
thanks in advanced!

Okey, that because
1. Your cellular provider dont give your phone number on your SIM (hardware)
2. Android dont have 3rd application that have access to change your phone number (as i know, CMIIW).
What can you do for having your phone number on your status?
1. Use another phone like sonyericson or nokia that can give access to give "my number" on SIM card (i dont have specific knowledge about the series of phone)
2. Move your sim from android to another phone.
3. Give your phone number on setting.
4. Move back your sim to android, and check what you have done...
Edit:
This someone that success used another phone to change "my phone number"

Maybe check your APN settings, perhaps they need to be updated. If you're having trouble with a specific carrier card, but a different carrier card works, I would start there. It's an extremely quick and easy fix if that truly is the problem.
Do a quick search around here; there are many threads dedicated (or have info) to new and different APN's.

Thanx bro , problem solved
Hi,
Perhaps I have found a method to unlock the LS990.
I dont know, if this works with us carriers.
I have tried it with a non US carrier and it works for me.
Needed:
Root
Root Explorer
Shortcut Master
1. Replace the two files in /carriers/apps with the two files below with Root Explorer
2. Reboot your phone
3. Open Shortcut master and select search
4. Search for apn adn select com.andoird.settings.ApnSettings and then click Launch
5. Select on the Top Right new apn
6. Fill this form out with the apn from your provider (If you don't know the apn look it up in google)
Done
Now everything should work
Still to do:
Disable the Hand free activation from sprint - I have not found the right app now
In the GSM mode my phone shows only GSM in the status bar and not G E H or H+ - Does someone know how to change this?
Automatic selection of the apn, this can perhaps be done with the file /etc/apns-conf.xml
I hopeed I could help some people, if the unlock was succesfull please give me a feedback
This is at your own risk.
Please do it only, if you know what you do!
Tried and it works. Indeed shows gsm to be as well but works.

Do we have to change the permission of those files. I am unable to get gsm signal after replacing the files. Shows a small x on top of the network bar, also the APN is not sticking.

On USA carrier?
No I am using it international
I could it only try on iternational carriers.
Perhaps everybody can write if the phone was used with sprint before and if it was activated.
My phone was not activated and I didn't use it with sprint.
I have done a factory reset before, so that everything was clear.
This is great man!!!
My phone was not activated and im now using it with a Mexican carrier (telcel) with no problems
So how many till now has been able to unlock this? Is it on a particular firmware only? Just wanting to be sure in case I buy this. Oh And is it permanent?

I located in China. I try the sims from CMCC/CU which is the two GSM carrier here and receive the same error.
I covered the two files and set the right permission same as original files, 640 and 600. I don't know what happened. I will take another LS990 to try again.

I did try to copy the g2 files but couldn't get the SIM to detect. Once I overwrote with these files I got it working

perhaps you can post a screenshot with the error?
I have found the app to disable the Hand Free activation:
I have uninstalled LGSetupWizard with Titanum Backup and it was gone.
Someone said change SPR to OPEN setup SIM and APN then change OPEN to spr reboot recovery wipe cache and this will make good for Domestic APN..I will try later on today and report back

Editing the Build prop will give you a bootloops. Also we don't have a recovery yet.
I think it should be possible (why not?) but couldn't find the point to enable

It works automatically only if:
1. there is Carrier Services installed on the phone
2. the SIM card carrier in the phone allows this service.
Ok, I didn't know this.
I was used to enable it manually on all my phones.
I never had to install Carrier Services, the option was always already existing.
