I am trying to change the "Phone as modem" value to "Sprint" found in hklm-comm-internetsharing-settings

I tried phm regedit, and resco explorer registry editor on the phone, then I tried mobile registry editor 1.1 on the desktop pc that remotely edits the phones registry, I also tried CERegeditor that is on the Desktop to remotely edit, and another one that allows you to "unlock" the registry like CE before editing (But none of them work. I tried all of the below with every single editor). I am using soft reset 1.1 and or the soft reset button.

I read that you have to wait a minute with wm5 and wm6 for it to save properly then soft reset and it will save.

I have made the edit, exit the program and reset, reverts to old setting. I tried to make the change and stay in the program for several minutes, then reset, reverts to old setting.

I tried deleting the key, waiting each way resetting, bam the old key pops back up.

I have tried every combination for every length of time up to including waiting several hours before the reset with the program open and then with it closed, and still after the reset, bam the original is back.

I even tried hard resetting the phone thinking maybe something installed keeping me from editing the registry, but nope.

I also tired the cab tethering fix files I have found....nope, still shows "Phone as Modem" in the key value

I even just tried reloading the rom from HTC to see if thats why I could not edit, maybe my version was messed up some how.

Nope, still cannot get it to save the "Sprint" value.

Please help, any ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] eric47905:
Anyone have any ideas on this? Or has this been the case for anyone else?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] angelistick:
Hi, I currently have a Kaiser and a Raphael HTC's phones and do frequent ROM changes (like most users, I guess) The main problem comes when picking a new rom to download and install. Commonly one has o random pick a a ROM or see how it has been working for other users to help choose, but because Custom ROMS depend on personal taste, one same ROM will be the perfect choice for A user while being the worst pick for B and C.

Maybe we should have a ranking for the main features of every ROM so A, B and C users can choose depending of what they like before downloading.

By example:

Custom ROM A Custom ROM B Custom ROM C

Performance ***** ***-- ****-

Visual ***-- ***** ****-

Prepacked Softs ****- ****- **---

etc etc... (gps, games...)

Best with RADIO XXX YYY XXX, YYY, ZZZ

Maybe we could use a poll for this and let the cooker leave a personal rating from him too. Also, a regular user vote could value 1 point while advanced user votes 3 points or separated rankings (winamp skins and plug-ins like).

what do you think?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
Traditionally, moderators have closed these types of threads as they generally degrade into personal attacks against chefs and/or members.

As an example, I may encounter issues with a feature in a ROM when I'm on my Carrier network that doesn't affect someone else on a different Carrier network, I may find a feature that is troublesome to use and someone else may find the feature works great just as it is, my experience may lead to an oveall rating of 2/10 but someone else may rate it a 10/10. In order for something like this to work, it would require and unbiased review of each ROM - something where decisions aren't solely made on a rating. This will require a significant amount of effort and active monitoring on your point to ensure its success.

For the moment, I'm going to leave this thread open and see what direction it takes. Be aware however, that another moderator may step in and close the thread.

Regards,
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] angelistick:
Thank you very much for leaving it open.

THank you very much for leaving it open to see where it goes, as im typing, the poll showed that 80% would find this ranking helpfull. I have to say that the ranking should not reside in only one persons taste, rather than that it should be how the people like that specific ROM an rated it. By example, for a popular XXX ROM 1342 people have voted an some have given 1/10 in performance feature while most have given 4/10 and 5/10, so staticstily that ROM shows a 4/10 in performance. Compared to another YYY ROM with 2451 votes where most people voted 2/10 and a only a few voted 5/10 it can show a first timer what ROM to pick. Still, we all are free to choose and download our prefered rom, maybe advanced users pick it by Chef or other personal reasons but newbies like me will be very thankfull on their first choises. But first we have to see what are the features that has to be ranked, at first glance i personaly find PERFORMANCE, SPEED, GRAPHICS and ACCESORIES to be a must, but only advanced users like you have the wisdom to stablish the categories.
[HD2 General] citan_x:
Got a US T-Mobile HD2, and I just enabled rotation again. I don't know why it was disabled in the first place. Maybe, it is because not all programs can be used in landscape mode (though they should be).

What are some good programs that can be used in both modes? TCPMP apparently can't do landscape. Where can I find some skins for Windows Media Player?

This is off topic, but does Android support Landscape mode?
[HD2 General] RKnight1983:
Android does support landscape, three are several devices with slide out keyboard. Program wise, most WM should support bot landscape and portrait
[HD2 General] aceo07:
I wish wm apps would have thinner status bars. for example the one that Adobe reader uses is huge. wm top bar, bottom bar and app's own bar. thats a lot of space used up.
[HD2 General] edbolor:
how did u enable landscape mode, did you use registry tweak(s) or any programs?
[HD2 General] aceo07:
You can install Bsbtweaks.
[HD2 General] copualt3:
i used bsbtweaks on my tmobile hd2 and get the clock only on the left side and a black bar to the right. aceo07, is your rom stock?
[HD2 General] HotShotAzn:
I have a custom domain with google apps (gmail, calendar, contacts). I can't get this to sync for the life of me. Even with my iPhone and Android, it was simple as pie.

Settings:

User name: myname

Password: (password)

Domain: I've tried "google" and "mydomain"

Server: m.google.com

I go into Tools - ActiveSynce - Options and edit those settings.

I did manage to get my email to sync but that was when I set up Outlook, but then my contacts didn't sync. Please help :)
[HD2 General] zelduy:
I don't know about cutom domain..but here's my gmail push setting,

User name: myname@gmail.com

Password: (password)

Domain: Blank

Server: m.google.com
[HD2 General] jonolo:
Try

User name: user@yourdomain.com

Password: (password)

Domain:

Server: m.google.com

You have to activate google sync in google apps (or your administrator)...

and also remember to uncheck to sync tasks as that is not supported by Google Sync...

I've had my G1 since Christmas of 08 and I finally decided to root. I jailbroke my ipod touch, and I heard rooting is similar to that, so i'm up for the task. I have firmware 1.6 and build number DMD64.

You won't get anyone here that's going to hold your hand or do it for you because in the twenty or so minutes that you waiting for the answer to be handed to you you could have found it for yourself by reading the above link and/or searching. So you are in actually just wasting your time posting your question. By the way since you are obviously new to XDA here's a fair warning. There are three types of people on here... those that help, those that are idle (just read but don't post) and those that need everything done for them. What kind do you think your first impression made and what kind of people do you think get flammed by the Senior Members that spend hours every week helping people like yourself by answering the same questions over and over again even after it's already been answered. And you're probably thinking "Instead of writing out this whole damn thing, why didn't he just tell me the answer?" Well because if you don't learn this way you're only going to rely on us from here on out if you are spoon fed. Again, I'm not trying to be a d!ck but if you want to make it here on XDA you have to play by the rules. Happy rooting!

"Seen" well then you were only looking for about 2 seconds then. Google it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lieu10ant:
wow, seriously? noone can get any help any more. everyone is just such a **** these days.

anyways, you need a data plan to root ur phone. you personally don't need it, but get a friend that has a data plan and use his SIM card for the procedure. and i'm sure there are some apps that force all data to be stopped and only allow wifi. i know my hero rom has an option to disable all data except for wifi built right in. i used hero_over. but i'm sure all hero roms have that option.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protomanez:
Your method is probably the most "common-sense" idea. We're not being dicks, we're just sick and tired of people not searching before posting, there's about millions of pages on google on the topic but they insist on coming here anyways. He can register through wifi with adb which most people do, so this pretty much contradicts the word "need" in your first statement. I won't carry on because I don't need to because I'd be a "****".

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InnovatedMind:
in anycase you're wrong, I haven't seen a question asking if you can root a phone without a data plan and a data block put on your phone.. keyword: DATA BLOCK... yes I am not an idiot.. I do search, why do alot of you seniors post on Q&A with "search please" ... just to get your post count up? Seems pretty regressive on helping people in a questions section.

Thanks to the other poster XD, but isn't there an option to get around it by entering in wifi to supplement the loss of a data plan and the addition of a data block?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Yes you can use no data plan too:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
But when you really think about it, what's the point of having a Dream if you don't have a data plan? The majority of what the phone does involves intensive data plan usage, and I don't know about anybody else, but I actually use my device other than sitting at my computer.

Just my two cents.
[Hero CDMA General] Jikuim:
I followed the guide to root a telus hero to the T, everything worked fine, finished the last step (which was updating the radio), still with 0 problems, downloaded damage control 1.1, flashed it, and now I'm hanging at the HERO bootscreen. I know the first boot takes longer but how long are we talking here? I waited 5 minutes before taking out my battery last time.. longer?

If not, what should I flash back onto it to make it work again?
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
I would reccomend.V1 of damage control

What recovery image are you using?
[Hero CDMA General] Jikuim:
Amon Ra

10char
[Hero CDMA General] Jikuim:
Bump, sorry this is really important... :x

Renamed DamageControl v1 to update.zip

Apply sdcard:update.zip

Gets to Installing update

E:failure at line 2:

assert getprop)"ro.product.devic

installation aborted
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
Ok buddy, this is the best advoce i can give you. Assuming you made your nandroid (you DID make your nandroid, right?!) I would flash back in recovery, then do a clean wipe, including ext and dalvk, and try flashing dcv1, not 1.1. 1.1 is a beta, v1 is much more stable. Good luck man, ill check back if you have any more questions, buts thats as far as my expertise goes!
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
Bad download? Try the mirror.

With the latest ra recovery, theres no need to name it update, just download it directly from your phone, to avojd mounting sd cards and whatnot, use linda or estrong to place in root, and once again; nandroid, complete wipe, and give it another go!
[Hero CDMA General] Jikuim:
I followed the telus guide, at one point it got me to create a recovery.img, how do I install it though?
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
Link me to your telus guide, and ill do my best to help.

There is no installation of the recovery image, if your refering to your backup. Flashrec?

I haven't done anything, Amon Ra is installed so I should be fine. I'm not stupid or anything, I know everything worked fine. I downgraded, then updated my radio, put the ROM on my SD, then went to apply it's .zip, it installed fine, but now it hangs at HERO and that's it.

Just downloaded 2 mirrors of the V1 of damagecontrol, tried flashing both of them, both of them fail immediatley at "Installing update.."

with "assert getprop("ro.product.devic)

Installation aborted.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
Hey man! I certainly didnt mean to imply your stupid, and if i did i apologize! Im only trying to help.

we're all friends.

The one thing your steps are mjssing is the wipe. Did you wipe EVERYTHING? And you keep saying hero screen...are you flashing v1 or v1.1? V1 has the nexus bootscreen...

Nandroidnandroidnandroid
[Hero CDMA General] Jikuim:
Nothing about nandroid was in that post. What should I be wiping right now? Like do I use Amon Ra to and just wipe everything? Or is there anything I keep?

As in.. Data Partition, Cache Parition, Dalvik, SD:ext, battery stats, rotate settings. DO I wipe them all and then go for the install again?
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
Nothing about nandroid?! Whaaaaaat? Nandroid is your 100% safeguard buddy.

Yes, wipe it all. Namely data/factory, and ext. Thats in the dv1 guide.

What one are you flashing? Dv1 or tye beya?
[Hero CDMA General] Jikuim:
Well, I really think Amon Ra is the true safeguard... it's a bootloader that's flashed, so no matter what happens you always have a method to wipe and write. Nandroid just saves MY phone, which was stock with nothing on it, so I genuinely don't mind. :P
[Hero CDMA General] Jikuim:
Wiped data and cache, the others said I needed to wipe with adb and I'm not sure how but I could find out quick.

Tried to install DV1 again, same error.

Edit : Nevermind, apparently those are partitions that don't apply to me. Yeah, I wiped that all. This DV1 just won't flash. Is there any other well-working ROMs?

I lol'd.

Telus Hero is GSM, not CDMA like the TP2 I switched it out for last week.

Short answer: For you, no.

Long answer: If you flash the Desire ROM (click my sig) and change the UAString to desktop, yes. I just tested it on the following video and it worked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I. But it's probably way way more trouble than it's worth for you.

Whether ANY video appears on mobile devices is up to the person who uploads the video. There is a setting to specifically allow mobile devices to see the video that has to be set.

Most video companies do NOT check that option to purposely block mobile devices.

A fantastic work around is the App TubeDroid. It lets you search and download ANY Youtube video to your phone, whether it is enabled for mobile or not :)

TubeDroid is the sh!t! There are free methods to do the same, but none of them are as alsick, IMHO, and well worth the $3. (Even Dolphin sucks compared to it, and I don't like Dolphin Browser).

It was only in the water for a moment, but I'm getting the always-on light that others have described (whenever the battery is in). No buttons do anything. Left it in rice overnight; no improvement. Tried to hard reset by holding volume down / enter / power -- nothing. I think it's a brick.

Any suggestions?

I pay Sprint for the Total Equipment Protection, but that still means $100 to replace the thing. At this point, it seems like the best I can hope for is that they'd replace it with a Touch Pro 2...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Lorrimer:
I should also mention I've flashed the ROM, so I'm wary of trading it in. And I can't get the screen to turn on at all, so I can't reset to stock.
