Hi,
I keep getting this error on my Nexus 4. I'm on Orange UK. This is the cat file
id=Orange Contract 1
uuid=49bda4ec-5427-4279-9bc1-cff80c08f8c9
type=gsm
autoconnect=false
[gsm]
number=*99#
username=eesecure
password=secure
apn=everywhere
[ipv4]
method=auto
[serial]
baud=115200
I've tried changing the apn settings to
orangeinternet user pass but to no avail
Fixed the probem. I'll post here what to do in case anyone else wonders. Basically pushing the file is no longer needed. However the reason it didn't connect automatically first was because the apn settings were wrong in /usr/share/mobile-network-providers/serviceproviders.xml. So you need to pull the file change the relevant apn and then push it back

I recently installed AOSP 2.3.5 on my vibrant and well APN settings are setup fine automatically. However when I look at the carrier name it only shows numbers like 302320 I know that is Mobilicity network but it doesn't show the name.
I was reading somewhere to create a spn-conf.xml file and push it to system/etc/ however when I do that and reboot it still says the same numbers. I am in Canada and would like to have them display properly how would I go about this as all the networks I search for seem to be numbers except for Rogers Wireless,
Thanks for any help. I have adb setup in a linux environment and know how to use it so thanks again.
custom rom or stock? i think there was problem with rom.

Carrier name on CM9 June 15th nightly on GT-i9100
I noticed initially that I saw only the carrier number on my GT-i9100 running the June 15th, 2012 nightly of CM9. However, after a period of time, the carrier Name (Bell here in Canada) did show up, so perhaps for those on CM7, maybe this is fixed in the latest CM9 builds?
Hi All,
I’ve just got myself a “bargain” from eBay that was advertised as unlocked but alas turned up with the sim lock on
I’ve contacted the Tmobile network in the UK and they will only send a code to a uk address and I am not there.
I have looked on this and other forums and seen that I could do it myself. I have rooted the phone and now have the yellow warning triangle on boot up. I also have CWM and Superuser icons in the Applications.
I have then tried to go onto the android app store to download Chainfires Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock. I then get the "There are no Android phones associated with this account" problem. Again I have looked at the solution to remove the phone number and re-enter it but this has not worked. I have tried several times.
I do not have Wifi and obviously can’t access the internet on the phone.
Is someone able to kindly send me the file in an email?
Once I have this done what else do I need to do to the phone? I’ve rooted it but only to the closest number I could find.
Thanks to XDA and all of you for reading this!
I'm a little slow so plese can you dumb it down... alot! ha ha
Phone: GT-I9100
Android version - 2.3.5
Baseband version - I9100BOKJ1
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606 [email protected] #2
Build number - GINGERBREAD.BOKK1
apk
That app only works on early version phones and may not work for you. If it doesn't you should try Helroz's Galaxy S Unlock app it works on all S II's but I believe it requires Internet to get a small payload. Which could be a problem for you unless you drive around for the first open WiFi.
It also doesn't give a code it just straight unlocks the phone.
Thanks. I have downloaded this to my computer. What do I now do with it?
I'm still lost... What do I do?
Please can anyone point me in the right direction!
Thanks
Place the app on your internal or external sdcard and install. Ensure you have enabled 'unknown sources' or something like it in the phone settings first. Allow it root access when prompted by the super user app.

Thanks for the quick reply,
The phone is brand new to me and I don't understand your instruction. I have downloaded the file and extraced the folders and files. I have then placed this onto the card. I then go into the phone and have ticked the unknown sources box. I then try to run any of the files and only get a "No applications can perform this action" error.
If I try to run AndroidManifest.xml it opens HTML viewer.
Anyone Please....
It's an apk, you weren't supposed to extract it. Apk files are android installation packages. Push the apk to your phone's sd card, and open it using the "my files" app to install.
Thanks again. I've done that. I can find the file eu.chainfire.sgs2simunlockcode.zip in My files. When I tap on it I get the message "Open file. No applications can perform this action"
What am I doin wrong? Thanks for your patience

You apparently somehow changed the file extension from .apk to .zip. Change it back.
I had to change the file extension from .zip!
I am not running the app and hopefully that will work. Wish me luck!
What else should I do to a new phone? Is there any way to get rid of the Tmobile startup screens?
Thanks for all your help, you have helped me stop pulling all my hair out and shouting at the dog!
The app did not find an unlock code
Anymore ideas anyone?

You can flash a stock unbranded firmware... But it sounds as if you should read a lot more educational material before attempting this. Lots of good information is in the roll up sticky in the i9100 general section. Start there, and start reading. I can't offer you any shortcuts. Shortcuts tend to lead to frustration and bricked phones.
I have looked into other ways to unlock this phone...
How do I extract my nv_data.bin - I cannot find this file

Could someone please upload helroz sim unlock for me?
Thanks... back to banging my head on the wall! lol
I am still not getting anywhere! Please can someone help
I'm stuck now...
Thank you all
Aren't there services on the web that cost abot $40 and send you an unlock code? I understand that you don't have wifi, and the phone doesn't work. But if that's the case, how r u posting here?

I have a computer with a sim card in it. I know that there are services to unlock but I am trying to avoid that cost if I can. Perhaps after I have tried all other options I will have to go that route.
Thanks

I too have bluegrass and could not get MMS to work forever. Finally I found the right combination of fixes that works for me (and has been replicated on all my coworkers devices). I am using this on Eclipse 2.3 on my MX2. I do not know if it will work for other carriers or other ROMs. Use at your own risk.
First, you will need root (which you have if you are on a custom rom), and you will need a file explorer that let's you browse with root permissions (I use ES File Explorer with root options set in settings).
Browse to /system/etc/ and replace apns-conf.xml with all the .xml files from the Conf folder in the attached Conf.zip file. I am not sure why there are so many, I copied them from a stock Bluegrass MX2. (Feel free to make a backup of your original apns-conf.xml prior to replacement).
Now, browse to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ and delete the 3 .db files here. (Again, make a backup if you wish). This will remove your existing text messages off your device!
Restart your device.
Now download "APN Settings Shortcut" from the Play Store. This is not an app or widget, but an actual shortcut. Press and hold on an empty space on your home screen and choose Shortcut and then APN Settings Shortcut.
Once it opens, hit menu and then new. Populate all fields with the following settings:
Name
Bluegrass Cellular (this doesn't matter, can be named anything)
APN

All credit goes to them, I just kept trying fixes until one worked for me, and it ended up taking a combination of three.

Self Bumping an old post so that anyone still in need can get some additional for ICS roms.
You can edit the APN information on ICS roms (or at least the latest CM9 Beta) by opeing Voice Dialer (it is a preinstalled app) and saying:
A P Ns
Then choose Open APNs. Hit the menu button and choose new, then enter the same information listed above. Hit the menu button again and choose save. Reboot and enjoy MMS on ICS.
On my Galaxy Note, in \system\etc I used to have a modified spn-conf.xml to override the network settings from my virtual provider, in order to leave data roaming unchecked and have proper signal icons (instead of a constantly showing R).
<spnOverride numeric="20412" fake_home_on="20408, 20410" />
But on the Z Ultra this xml-file is missing, and furthermore apns-conf.xml is empty. I tried to paste the file in \system\etc (with right permissions and ownership) but that did not do the trick: the ZU still needs to have data roaming on to have an mobile internet connection.
So where is the APN information stored in the stock rom? And/or is there another way to let the ZU know that I'm not really roaming?

It seems that the fake_home_on argument does not work with all firmwares. So I found a solution by running a script that changes the virtual operator numeric and alpha on my sim, so that it matches the operator my phone connects to.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
su
setprop gsm.sim.operator.numeric 20408
setprop gsm.sim.operator.alpha "NL KPN"
setprop gsm.operator.isroaming false
So I noticed some firmware versions did not have any trouble in recognizing national data roaming, and I narrowed it down to these two entries. I've added them to config.prop (in system\etc\customization\settings) and this solves my problem even better.
Code:
ro.roaming.extended=true
ro.roaming.extended_rule=1

Just out of curiosity, are you running JellyBean or KitKat? Because since the update to 4.4.2 on my ZU, I had to revert to my first solution in order to get rid of the R icon.

Hello all, new to modding devices but having fun with it!! These forums have been a huge help, but still stuck.
situation;
Verizon note 2 4.4.2
-rooted
-used buildprop editor to open apn list
-ED file explorer let's you wright files, so added apn in system/etc apns-conf file
-reboot all that, I added two identical apn scripts in the folder just to test, and I get
Two on my list to choose from.. still no dice. Have tried several things like switching gsm, global etc. Still nada..
I'm sure I am just missing something entirely obvious if anyone can chime in.
Thank you all in advance!!
Well... I really am at a loss here.. I am going to try and go by MetroPCS. Maybe its something on their end. Still, any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Soooo.. success!! In case anyone cares, calling up metropcs and setting it up through them did the trick. Done deal
