[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonsharp:
Hello, my dear talent xda delevelpers,

I bought a T-mobile HD7 online few days ago, and i am using it in China now, the operator is China Mobile. I face some troubles these days, and i am searching the whole world but i can't get the answers, please help out.

1. How to identify HD7 is unlock or not? Then i know if i need to unlock it.

2. I could not get any date service (Wifi is not available for me), i am sure i input the correct APN but no data service in HTC HUB/marketplace/Emails, ect. Data connection of the same SIM card works on my old phone O2 Xdalli perfectly, but not on HD7. Is it because of not unlock or how can i get advance settings?

3. I heard that there is "CONNECTION SETUP" on other HD7s, but i cann't find it in marketplace or HTC webside, can somebody send me this app? maybe i can solve the data connection problem with it. Also, i want an "ATTENTIVE PHONE" app, please send me as well if you have.

4. My last question is, i got a T-mobile SIM card in the box, is it come along with any balance or package? Can I use it in China by roaming?

Waiting anxiously and really appreciate your help. Thank you so much.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corleno:
1.Try putting your local sim-card ,if there is no network then yours is locked.

2.For data connection , I got HTC Connection Setup.

You can download it from Marketplace.(its under HTC apps)

Since you dont have Wi-fi I recommand you do this setup at your friends,Or at some internet center.

3.Sorry I dont think its currently possible to send over apps.You have to get it from Marketplace yourself.

4.As for the last question , hy dont you try using the T-Mo card and see what happens :)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonsharp:
Thank you so much fo your help :)

1. Yes i am using my local SIM and got good reception, calls and SMS works fine, is that mean i got HD7 unlock? How to identify lock or unlock?

2. Still i could not find connection setup from marketplace app. Under genres, there is "tools", and i rolled so many pages but i cant not find. I searched also, there is only an app named "student connection", do you have an address? or tell me how to find it?

3. I successfully make it prison break, haha
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonsharp:
I will try my T mobile SIM later, and see what happens ：）
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonsharp:

importing .kml into google earth? sory if this has been covered but i searched for quite a while and couldnt find out how to do it. i used wardriver to map out network locations and i exported the data to .kml. now shouldnt i be able to load that .kml into google earth? i uploaded the .kml to wigle.net but it didnt give me a http addy to search for with GE. i even tried typing a .kml addy from a different site into GE search but it said not found.

this thread from april talks about .kml or GE not being available for android http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=661064. however i got GE from the market so i guess things have changed.

where can i find a clear-cut way of loading .kml files into GE?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawlage:
I can't imagine nobody has any advise on this topic. Must have been covered already. Ill look elsewhere.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawlage:
Man, I just can't figure it out. All the places just say to upload the kml to a host and search in GE for the url. I have uploaded the kml to wigle but it doesnt give me a url to my file. I simply want to place a layer of my wardriving networks on top of google earth. Is there anyone that can assist?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
The android GE does not import .kml files. Only the pc version.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawlage:
well hell.. thats marvelous to know. :p how about google maps? can i use kml in google maps on my phone? if not is there some other sort of map app that i can use? id like to apply my wardriving kmls to a map so i can review and use them.

thing is, i cant find the url to my hosted kml's on wigle. i have a in post the forums there asking about it but it hasnt been answered yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalundertaker:
import your .kml to maps.google.com if the account is the same as your phone it will show up automatically in android Google maps layers, just enable that layer
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawlage:
Thanks for the reply. I hate to be such a noob but unfortunately I am just that. A noob. Do I need to import from my pc? When I go to maps.google.com on my phone it asks to open with browser or with maps. When I choose browser it loads then closes. When I choose to load it in maps it doesn't close but I can't find the option to import anything. Any way you could explain it step-by-step to me like you would to a 4 year old? Heh.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalundertaker:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francois64:
Hey it is now possible to open KML file with GE .

Ther's an APP on the market to do this :

"I've developed an app for Android that lets you load a KML or KMZ file into Google Earth. If you are on the Google Android Market, then just search for "KMLZ to Earth". Google might have overlooked it, but aside from the first load of the file failing (Google Earth won't read the URI if it's not running), then my app works perfectly to display KML or KMZ files in Google Earth.

WrightRocket"

Enjoy...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
kml files are for the DESKTOP google earth program.

Maybe you're right but with this app you can use it on your PDA...

I installed Kies mini to update my captivate to jh7. When I connect my phone to the pc in Kies mode it gives me an error "A service installation section in this INF is invalid". I've already tried to fix the issue in numerous ways with no avail. I already tried installing new drivers and tried this too. Please help me fix this problem.

EDIT: After hours of trying to find a fix for this I found this thread on cnet where they say to download this file and install it. Did that and reconnected the phone and it worked like a charm.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ladderwalker:
I can't remember if it was CM6.1 rc1, rc2, or rc3 but some where along the line the 2g 2g/3g toggling has gotten weird. If I switch the data symbol on the top (G,E,3G, or H) goes away and I never get data back. If I mess around and toggle it a few times it eventually comes back, if I reboot the data comes back until I try to toggle again. Does anybody have any suggestions?

I googled this problem and found one person that had a similar issue and some one else responded saying they got a new sim card and that fixed the problem. I just can't see how the sim would have anything to do with this and more importantly I don't want it to be the sim. I was hoping for a "not leave the house or open my wallet" sort of solution
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
T-mo practically gives away sim cards. No joke, I used to get new ones all the time, my old phone fried them like no other.

Anyway, it's actually quite possible that it is the sim card. People have solved low signal issues with a SIM replacement, likewise, issues with connectivity after switching frequencies could have something to do with a damaged or worn sim card. If you found someone with a similar problem that solved it with a SIM replacement then that would be my first step if I were you. After that I would redownload and reflash your ROM, to eliminate corruption.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ladderwalker:
thanks for the response, maybe I will get a new sim, I just wonder what I should say as far as why I think I need a new one.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Disregard the random thanks, I'm still not used to the quote button not being on the outside haha.

I don't know, the store I go to, if I just walk in and ask for a new sim card they just ask for my account info and give me one. If they ask for a reason just say you're having connectivity issues or that your phone isn't recognizing your SIM anymore. They won't pursue it, it's an incredibly inexpensive card.

Also, why isn't there an "unthanks" button. Kinda sucks xD
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ladderwalker:
I got a new sim, wiped, and reflashed and still the same problem. However I noticed that if I wait long enough it does eventually toggle, so I guess the problem is a ridiculously slow 2g -2g/3g toggle
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Well it does take up to 30 seconds to switch the radio mode yes but I thought it wasn't reconnecting after you toggled at all.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ladderwalker:
I didn't think it was, it used to only take 30 seconds, now it's more like 3-5 minutes
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
That's odd. Could be a hardware issue.

Not only do I want to thank everyone for their amazing support of me for my time on the hero forum, but I'd like to let you know what I will maintain while I'm gone in the Epic section. I WILL still maintain my Q&A section, and will look for questions in my Themes. I will not be releasing new versions of themes, however. :( If you all would like the themes ported for the latest versions of CM, feel free to do that :D I just want to let everyone here know that they've helped me develop as a themer and developer, and I will miss this section. And please, feel free to join me as an Epic user ;)

[Legend General] RunSeven:
1. DOWNGRADE to 1.31 using this tutorial.

You do this by copying the RUU on your Goldcard and executing it.

2. Keep your Goldcard in, install this RUU.

Maybe other RUU files work too, I tried this one only. After successful install, check for updates on your phone, upgrade to 2.1-update1 and then again to FroYo!

It didnt work for me without step #1.

Edit: Instead of the RUU mentioned above under #2, you may install other Vodafone RUUs adapted to your country. Haven't tried them out though, but the UK Vodafone RUU seemed to work according to macnpaul.
[Legend General] nolook:
this will give you vodaphone firmware with branded apps/etc? does the vodaphone froyo not have the CID check?
[Legend General] RunSeven:
this gave me froyo with a boot screen from A1 and as far as I can tell no vodafone apps.
[Legend General] nikst4:
did you use the RUU_Legend_Vodafone_AT_GER_Mobilkom_1.31.177.3.. instead of the RUU mentioned in the tutorial or after downgrading to 1.31. as explained in the tutorial?
[Legend General] crooked-i:
does this involve rooting ?

cos that tutorial seems to be for rooting :\
[Legend General] nikst4:
no, I don´t think this involves routing,

I think this changes the version number for you get no error 140 when loading an older RUU
[Legend General] RunSeven:
This method does NOT involve rooting.

Do one step after the other. First you install the first ROM (non-Vodafone), then you install the second ROM and then the upgrade path to froyo is available to you. This avoids the [140] error.

After downgrading as explained in the tutorial.
[Legend General] Crustyloaf:
HELP!!

I did exactly as described in the tutorial, i.e. downgraded my debranded Voadafone Legend from 2.05 to 1.31 and then installed the German 1.31 rom. No problems. I then used the phone to upgrade OTA to german vodafone 2.05, again no problem. Finally I then used OTA to get Froyo. The update downloaded OK and seemed to install OK. However, when the phone rebooted the touchscreen doesn't work and I can't unlock the phone to use it. I've tried rebooting several times by removing the battery and also clearing the cache and doing a factory reset - all to no avail. The phone works as a can call it but I can't answer it as tghe screen doesn't work.

As I can't get into the phone at all I can't even set debugging mode to downgrade back to something that works.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in anicipation.
[Legend General] RunSeven:
Look here, this might help... others have experienced it too, it does not seem to relate to the update method.
[Legend General] Crustyloaf:
Yeh, I had a look at that earlier. He managed to get into the phone though so he could make changes. Mine is just stuck solid on the lock screen. I did just notice that when it is starting up the language on the lock screen goes from german to english and then back to german. Weird.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated
[Legend General] nikst4:
you can´t get into bootloader?
[Legend General] Crustyloaf:
Yes I can. Will that help?

Another thing I tried that didn't help was renaming the German Froyo update file as update.zip and then installing from the SD though recovery. The full intallation seemed to happen but the screen still stays locked.

I also tried extracting firmware.zip from the update, renaming it to legeimg.zip and then puting it on the SD card. With a standard SD card fastboot says incorrect CID or something similar. With a goldcard it says no image or wrong image.

If it's of any use to anybody the Hboot version is on the phone 0.43.0001.
[Legend General] sjaak1234:
Probably a stupid question, I got a debranded vodafone legend with all the latests updates (apart from 2.2 obviously) and my hboot is 0.43.0001. But where can I check my rom version? Or is it 2.1 as shown under settings - software?
[Legend General] nikst4:
its something like 2.05.405.2 a little bit further down the menu.
[Legend General] sjaak1234:
Thanks that is what I ment. So I do need to downgrade first. Does anybody happen to have a mirror for the ruu file? Because shipped roms doesn't seem to work atm. All downloads get cut off.
[Legend General] macnpaul:
Massive thanks to RunSeven :)

I followed the link to downgrade but used a vodafone UK rom (instead of the one mentioned) to put my Legend back to how it was before I debranded it. That allowed me to upgrade to FroYo using the OTA updates.

Obviously I now have the branding back, but I can live with that.
[Legend General] crooked-i:
Worked for me!!

thanks ! :D
[Legend General] mancrunch:
Basically i'm after any advce please.

I debranded my Legend a few weeks ago (was UK Voda) its now on 2.03.405.3

I have an option ota to go to 2.05 then pressumably to froyo.

Do i give it a go, has anybody been able to get debranded to froyo via ota.

Or do i re-create a goldcard and go back to Voda 1.32 which i have downloaded ready.

If i stick with debranded and try froyo will it be any harder to go back to branded Vodafone after?

Or option 3 should i stick where i am and wait for a 2.2 RUU?
[Legend General] RunSeven:
No, it won't be harder, I think. Probably the update to Froyo will fail with debranded rom, that is all.

Don't know if that will ever arrive.
[Legend General] marcospozo:
Which RUU? number 1.32?

Thanks a lot I have been able to install Froyo in my debranded Legend, now it is again branded. I follow your way, only difference is that in first step I used RUU 1.32 from Vodafone UK, I was unable to use 1.31. Now Froyo is running in my Legend.

OK all sorted now, had to skip all though setup then find settings and then language then set to English.

One thing i did find though that may help others. I'm on Windows 7 32 bit and every time i want to put a new rom on handset, it always takes 2 attempts, 1st time always comes up with the not connected error, then if i just retry it goes on fine. dont even have to unplug or reconnect handset.
