My Phone Connects Too...

I'm here in Cali and just purchased my Rezound on eBay for T-Mobile. I have nine choices under connections and when chosen phone call capable is marked yes/no.

WCDMA preferred= Yes

GSM only= Yes

WCDMA only= No

CDMA auto (PRL)=No

Global mode= Yes

CMDA = LTE/EvDo auto=No

GSM = LTE/WCDMA auto=Yes

Global LTE mode=Yes

LTE mode(w/voice)=No

I have been reading the thousands of threads and noticed not everyone sees the same things which is why I listed mine.

I can not access the APN area as it is grayed out and the top left corner has a pad lock. There are other network setting areas that are grayed out as well. Clearly this is the only locked down area that Verizon won't give the key too.

I have the same problems as everyone else not getting data....or has that been resolved???

I have tried changing the SMSC no luck also installing GOSMS Pro and it needs data to send.

At this point there should be a bounty for removing this lock on services. A reward is offered here if it is fixed. Contact me

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

I am not a developer....don't have the patience, but have the tinkering mind. In regards to all of the talk with getting data & sms to work to me does not make sense for it to be a radio issue. I have a phone that connects to many of the connectivity types...pretty much all of them except Verizon network signals. I am in California.

Firmware must have a line thread that has a security code set to turn off security. I look at my APN area and it is grayed out...simply not an option to choose same with choosing carriers under settings there is only one choice with one radio button.

I believe two things need to be done for data to be set through another carrier. One either work a code to firmware that unlocks (GSM data) obviously that is blocked on purpose. I would like to think in the grand scheme of things a default code can be put in to unlock within the existing firmware codes. I can't imagine Verizon requiring individual codes to unlock s-off IF the long run intent is to develop international networks using this product. Maybe, a smoke & mirrors code to side step around the s-off and override the lock can be developed? How you do this ....don't have a clue :rolleyes:

The second thing is to re-write the area where you can choose carriers and adding other with radio button. Even if data were unlocked STILL Verizon puts themselves as the only carrier to choose with no other choices. I don't know if that can be disconnected or make that choice area flat out a muted choice?

I remain hopeful that some really talented developer has the gumption to dig into this whole mess that Verizon made for padding their own wallet. I love the phone and am coming from AT&T Tilt off of T-mobile so this Rezound is a huge eye opener on what I have been missing.

Fix these issues and I will send you some live Maine lobsters for you to celebrate! Contact me.....
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Funny statement. How is Verizon padding their own wallet? The Rezound IS a Verzion released phone for use ON the Verizon network that just happens to have unannounced GSM capabilities that are really designed for a VERIZION CUSTOMER to take advantage of Voice calls if they are temporarily in a non-Verizon network area.

You bought the phone to use on another network and are pissed at Verizon for selling a phone that doesn't support that network? You should direct your ire at YOUR provider for not providing hardware that meets your needs.
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Do we have a Verizon Fanboy here? :D , haha only joking but he does make a point it isn't entirely Verizon, but I do think that the HTC Rezound was originally designed as a Global Phone and when Verizon wanted to make it 'Exclusive' asked HTC to 'turn off' Global capabilities.

Or this could just be a last minute thing HTC did due to not enough testing?
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Last I checked Verizon isn't even advertising that it has GSM capabilities at all. It certainly wasn't on the product page, or listed in the specs.
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
I was only referring to the first initial phone announcement/spec sheet thing, don't you remember that picture?
[HTC Rezound] Proz00:
got the rezound :)

is there prim solution to stop the sim is unknown msg ?

which rom is the best for gsm ? if there one

and its change back to lte if rebooting the phone

its take much more then my hd2 on idle

around 200ma how i can fix it ?
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Congrats! :D

And to answer your questions:

1. The method for getting rid of the message is in the first post, but at the moment is only a temporary fix till reboot.

2. The best ROM I use is Ineffabilis v1.3.

3. And This ROM also keeps WCDMA or GSM when reboot also.

Hope This Helps!
[HTC Rezound] Proz00:
thx very much

did u also tried sense 4 roms ? from One X phone ?

i think its better cos its global phone it might work better even with sms :D ?

i cant downgrade the kernel :(
[HTC Rezound] DronM:
3G works too?

SMS Sending?
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Yes this is what I'm waiting to try out! as Joelz is working on his One X ROM but at the moment calls,sms and data work for no body, but Joelz has said to me that he is working on the SMS for GSM users, so hopefully it will be working soon! :D

And to downgrade kernal when it says you cannot (HAD THAT ANNOYING PROBLEM) you need CleanFlash tool! (I did not make that just to be clear :D)

I have attached the .zip for you with the tool inside.

Basically what I do is first make sure you have the necessary drivers (I don't actually know if you need any but I think I had to install one)

Then run the .bat to open the tool (Put the boot.img of the kernal you want in the same folder as the .bat)

Now choose the 2nd option by pressing: 2 and enter, and press enter again

Now put the phone into fastboot, connect to computer

When you are in fastboot and connected the kernal should install, for better instructions go to the CleanFlash Tool thread

HOPE THIS HELPS! :D:)
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Yes G/3G/H all work for me :), but texting/SMS still has not been solved/fixed :(
[HTC Rezound] Proz00:
thx i rule123

i fixed with universal main ver

btw im trying to change idle-screen_base to make sim unknown disappear

but without lack i used signing but still nothing
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Thats okay Mate!

And good to hear!,and please let me know/Private Message me if you get anywhere with that :D
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
i would like to report, that i to am able to get gsm working on this device, with the hidden menu, om on att and so far its working perfectly, exept for sending sms ofc(iv yet to try the fix) and the gsm setting seems to survive rom flashes.
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Nice to hear!, but what fix are you talking about??? cause atm this issue is being looked at and there is no fix at the current time :confused:
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
well someone posted a fix for sending sms, it said it worked for att, or em i wrong, im talking about the one were change the smsc number with go sms.

i just tried that fix today and its not working, i tried the pdu format and the real number format, nether work, as soon a as i hit send, ril seems to crash.

btw im using gsm only.
[HTC Rezound] georgiadiy:
SMS mess

Is there anybody here with normally working SMS services on GSM?

Tell us please about your country/provider/settings please
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
I don't think so as the SMS problem exists with everybody who has tried GSM :(
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Ahhh I know what your on about :), and yeah that fix didn't work for me either :(.
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
i dont know what i did exacly, but after i tried the fix and it dint work, the next day and a couple of restarts, somehow i dont know how, i can send sms. yes you heard correctly no idea why, but they work XD.
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
:eek: Did you keep the SMSC number the same?? Did you keep the PDU version in the SMSC entry box????
[HTC Rezound] BrumBrum74:
Maybe you can check all your setting and write them here? What rom you use etc. :)
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
It's been stated you need a sim unlock code. So I wasn't surprised when it did not reconize the sim you put in.

Amazing... Going to test with a prepaid SIM I have lying somewhere. All you did was change to GSM mode and it worked? Do any of the other modes give you AT&T with data?

Might have to give this a try. Think I still Czech Vodafone SIM card lying around. It would be really sweet if we could get data to work.
[HTC Rezound] k8826324:
What I understand is that u need to enter the apn for the carrier that u put the sim in.
[HTC Rezound] k8826324:
I tired to unlock the pin under setting but it doesn't have the option to unlock sim. I got data by entering the local apn to work but it jumped back to cdma mode after a while so its unusable.

[HTC Rezound] bdemarco:

Thanks for responding. What I was really asking: *how* does that procedure let you use a GSM SIM in the Rezound? What does it do to the firmware / radio?
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
not to sure about this, but in the bootloader (pull battery out, and then hold power button and volume down) there is an option for SIM LOCK?
[HTC Rezound] isdnmatt:
I believe it SIM unlocks the phone. Be very careful in CDMA workshop though, you can easily damage the phone beyond repair.
[HTC Rezound] dpham00:
i ran a tmo sim for close to 2 hours, occasionally doing test calls, no problems. it does say unrecognized source on the lock screen, but everywhere else, it said tmo or att when i used an att sim.
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
PLEASE DO!!!
[HTC Rezound] Proz00:
got idea that might fix the sms problem

just put apk from sensation

it might fix the problem with the unknown sim too

Anyone tried this yet?

Use Root Explorer to replace files?

Edit: Didn't work for me. No go with sms.
[HTC Rezound] TheHoot:
I can confirm that phone and data (both 3g and H) work well on Orange UK. Also, to get data I just entered the Orange APN info as a second network, selected it instead of vzw, turned off my Wifi, and called my cell from a landline. Data came up immediately.

(yes I know Orange is the same as T-Mobile in the UK but thought I would post it anyway since a long way back someone said that it would not work on Orange)

btw, has anyone had any experience and/or issues with migrating back to Verizon?
[HTC Rezound] narta:
The unknown sim icon is in the HtcLockScreen.apk in res/drawable-xhdpi as icon_icc_fail.png

I can't recompile succesfully the apk :(

Edit: Here is the apk
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:

[HTC Rezound] narta:
Nope. We need someone o edit it and recompile it. I can't recompile it for some reason and I am too tired to figure it out
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Well thank you for all the information! :), so it looks like the only reason why this issue is not fixed yet is all cause we cannot recompile the apk, but this should be sorted out soon now! :D
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Ill take a look at it when I get home. I can't test it though because I don't have any gsm sims
[HTC Rezound] narta:
I am sure there are a bunch of guys here willing to test - me included :D

[HTC Rezound] thelaw.com:
So does this mean you've been able to get the Rezound to work in the holy land? If so, please do spill the news about which ROM, provider and setup worked for you. A success story here would be more great news during an excellent month...

[HTC Rezound] BrumBrum74:
How's the lockscreen supposed to look after installing this? I've used Widget locker lockscreen ICS style and even though I've uninstalled that and chosen Sense lockscreen it still shows ICS lockscreen.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
What exactly was wrong?
[HTC Rezound] narta:
I still get the invalid sim thing in the lockscreen. Plus I got 2 random freezes since replacing the apk and I had to do a battery pull to reboot
[HTC Rezound] thelaw.com:
Just a few in some areas of Europe. Not sure if there is a uniform set of instructions that will work in most countries. Some of these also have CDMA and GSM. Hope to have a consistent way to get the Rezound to work. As per the poster above, they are still having challenges just getting basic service to work. I think we are close, would love to hear of a way...
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Hmmm......
[HTC Rezound] narta:
Phone if working fine. I get voice and data no problems. The invalid Sim thing is just a png on the sense lockscreen, nothing to do with the phone core functions - SMS sending excluded.
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
Ok guys sorry for answering so late but here it goes

Current Rom installed: My own ICS 3.6 sense Rom, unreleased, nothing different exept for gsm patch, that i provided in the forums

SMSC Number:+13123149810 this has been unchanged, i tried changing it as the guide described but, it failed

Last i tried the pdu number fix with go sms: This did not work ether as soon as i applyed the fix, i tried sending an sms but it failed, the ril would crash and stay that way, unless i canceled the sms send request from go sms.

Then not sure what happened, i just did a few reboots to my phone for no reason at all, and for the heck of it, i tested sms again, to see if there was any change(this is after i found out how to force my rom to gsm mode, and applied the proper build.prop settings) and for some reason i am able to send sms, successfully, no i dont now what is causing this, but the only thing i can remember doing before that was, applying the gsm fix i made, but this should have not have affected sms in any way.

What my gsm patch does/adds to the build.prop?

First it sets the prefferd network mode to Gsm only

ro.telephony.default_network=1

1=gsm only

0=wcdma

8=cdma/evdo stock mode

Then it adds a second line

ro.product.rat=GSM only

This is a pure guess but this also forces the preferred ril band, to whatever you specify, in my case GSM Only, if you whant to change this to your own, dial for the hidden menu, look up the different network types and change it. you still have to change and find its number for

ro.telephony.default_network=

Again none of this is supposed to fix sms, but this is the only thing i can remember i did to my phone.

Is it possible for you to share this build with us?
[HTC Rezound] narta:
^^ yeah please dump your build so someone with more knoledge can take a look at it :)
[HTC Rezound] thelaw.com:
Great news and thank you! So two questions I have remains. The OP seems to indicate that no rooting is even necessary in order to obtain voice call capability on CDMA and GSM networks.

(1) It seems that the Rezound is not locked to the Verizon network and requires no unlock code - is this true for both CDMA and GSM?

(2) It also seems that all the menus and capabilities for connection can be done without rooting - is this the case and the stock Rezound is capable of international use for voice?

Again, thank you all for sharing your efforts, especially the OP.

No Data on T-mobile US

Need help folks. I know some folks on this thread said that they could get data on T-mobile US but I'm not able to get any data on T-mobile US. Voice works fine but NO data.

I tried with Stock ROM 2.01 and also leaked ICS ROM 3.11 and no luck with either of them. Both of them seems to be using the same baseband though (0.95.00.1118r,0.95.00.1223r).

Couple of questions:

- Are there any other tricks other than what is mentioned in the OP to get data on T-mobile US?

- Is there a newer version of baseband available? If so can someone please provide a link?
[HTC Rezound] kozmikkick:
What did you use to enter on the apn settings? Settings fc for me as soon as I select mobile network so I can't change mine. Did you add anything to your build.prop or just running pure stock with just new apn and gsm?

[HTC Rezound] redeyes717:
just a quick guessing.. my Rezound has never been activated on Verizon. I got it working on my HSDPA/HSUPA TIM italian carrier, but only for voice calls.

could it be the 'no-activation' on Verizon carrier the reason I've no luck with data?

if so, any workaround for this, as far as you know?

thanks.
[HTC Rezound] jimbo.levy:
Nope. When you boot the phone, do so without the SIM card in. Skip the setup procedures and then power off. Insert the SIM and power on. The activation procedure is now skipped.

As far as data is concerned, we can confirm that TIM works (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1523864)

To enable data is somewhat tricky. A wide variety of methods have been tried but none are 100% successful for all.

For me, to enable data, I have to move to a certain area. One of those areas is on my way to work. The 3G just initiates. I have tried this many times and have had no failures so far. At home however, if I disable my WiFi, the 3G does not start. That being said, if I have a 3G connnection, go home, enable WiFi and then disable WiFi, my 3G returns.

It only needs kick starting if I power the phone off.

Even when my network coverage blacks out, the data still returns as long as I don't power off.

As a suggestion, take 30 minutes and go for a longish walk around the area in which you live. Maybe that could help?

Good luck with your data acquiring and keep us posted.

Thanks,

Jim :)
[HTC Rezound] redeyes717:
