Root No Data or MMS on phone after flashing to straight talk

[SParker40]

I have had my phone flashed to straight talk earlier this year and the guy that did it refuses to give me the steps to make my mms and data work again. I have flashed the rooted image file in the bootloader and every since I havent been able to get data or mms but everything else works. I can connect to wifi and use internet like that but the no mms is killing me since I need to be able to send pix often. Ive been looking for around a month now with no luck. I have helped people with this issue but have forgotten how since. Im pretty sure it had something to do with the messaging app itself ad was previously able to edit the connection settings within the app but now its all greyed out and I cant access them to make the changes. I do remember that the settings included something like http://vtext.com/servlets/mms or something like that. I just dont know how to get to the area to make the changes and dont know the correct mmsc settings. Any help is appreciated. Thanks and Merry Christmas

Have you entered the carriers APN settings on the phone?

 

[SParker40]

Thats a part of the problem. I cant change them or am not doing it right cuz its all greyed out inside the messaging app. The sms works but not the mms

 

[amarie82]

Is there anywhere else in the phone that you can enter the settings? Settings more networks mobile networks?

 

[SParker40]

I can get to the hidden menu in the dialer but thats it. I dont know the settings for all the options there are though. Im using the stock rooted ph44100img flashed through the bootloader

 

[amarie82]

You can contact straight talk and .make sure you have the correct settings!

I'm just a noob, , but you might try APN app & change your settings within the app.. good luck. ..........

Thanks but I called them last night and spent two hours to find out that the guy who flashed it to ST used a donor phone and now I need to get a new phone cuz the towers are recognizing that my phone is not the lg2203 that he used as a donor to improperly flash to ST. If anyone knows a way to fix this Id be very appreciative. I am also up for the challenge if someone can lead me in the right direction to fixing this myself. The apn apps havent worked. That was mt first thought and none of them work cuz they say that my phone isnt a gsm phone. I was thinking bout trying a sim card and seeing what happens but I have never used one in this phone before and dont want nothing going wrong while I wait for this microphone for my galaxy phone. Thanks

 

[SParker40]

I think I need to use cdma workshop or dfs or something like that but I dont know the steps to change anything. Does anyone know if this is the way to do it or am I all wrong?

 

[amarie82]

I am not familiar with how to fix this I can check around and see what I can find out if your still having the issue!

 

[SParker40]

Thank you very much, I havent got anywhere with it yet. I am pretty good with all the tools except cdma workshop and dfs and stuff like that. Ive searched and searched for so many hours its not funny

 

[amarie82]

We have some mods that are pretty good with stuff like this! I'll see if they have any tips for you! You are very welcome! Hopefully I can find out something for you!

 

[SParker40]

I dont even care if it comes down to unrooting and relocking the bootloader at this point. I can always redo them both

 

[amarie82]

OK let me check around n see what I can find out

Hiya SParker!
Wow, I'm really not sure myself about your issue but....
Have you tried a different sms/mms app such as Handcent or GoSms?

 

[SParker40]

Ive tried go sms and no luck but not handcent. Ill have to try that and post back. Thanks

 

[SParker40]

Ok. No luck on handcent neither. This problem is after having my phone flashed to straight talk by someone using a donor phone Im almost positive because at straight talk they told me they saw my phone as an lg 2203 and when I told them it was an evo design 4g they told me the towers might recognize that and they cant guarantee me any service at all. This phone previously had mms working but after a flash of the ph44 whatever zip the mms or any kind of data has not worked. Ive spent weeks now trying to find the solution to this problem. Any help or advice is appreciated

 

[Mikestony]

Hmmmm, so other than the mms issue, your phone operates just fine?
Phone calls, sms, internet? Sorry if you mentioned it already

 

[SParker40]

I was on boostmobile first then a guy remotely flashed it for me and it had the same problem then but through straight talk having me call *22890 and some other numbers it got fixed. This time it wont take and the over the air programming says that it cannot be programmed. Last time they had me call *73 I think and thats the one that solved the problem. Its ok and yes everything but the internet and mms works as they should. Its only the mms and data that dont work. No help with *73 neither

 

[SParker40]

Okay so after hours of reading and tracking down this person through a certain form website I found out that this is the result of a bad flash. I don't know how that happened but I would sure appreciate any information and I'm flashing my phone again 2 straight talk. I have the equipment to do this if somebody can give me the instructions feel free to message me. I can't believe this guy charged me $40 and I also sent him to other customers and now he won't give me the time of day to help me get the MMS working on my phone. I believe I have enough experience to learn how to do this myself if somebody can point me in the right direction
