Need help rebranding my w760i

[wongnog]

Yes you do have to turn on your phon after applying the customize_upgrade file. Then when you run SEUS, even though it says you have the latest software, you must follow the prompts to allow the program to reflash your phone. Once that is done you should have your phone fully debranded/rebranded.

I do not use the internet.com APN, I believe only goam.com can be used for unlimited browsing. Just make sure goam.com is your only data account set up in your phone, and try these settings:

- “Menu” Settings, Connectivity, Internet Settings
- Connect using: Data Accounts, ( add ), P.S Data
- Name: Rogers
- APN: goam.com
SAVE

- Data Accounts: select OPTIONS, scroll to EDIT
- APN: goam.com
- Username: wapuser1
- Password: wap
- Proxy Settings: ON
o Proxy: ON
o Same for all servers: ON
o Proxy servers: HTTP
HIGHLIGHT Proxy Servers and choose EDIT
A new screen opens for HTTP
- Username: wapuser1
- Password: wap
- Proxy Address: 208.200.067.150
- Port:80

CLOSE SETTINGS
Menu, Internet, Options, scroll to Advanced
GOTO Connectivity
- Connect using: Rogers
- Default homepage ( select )
o Name: Rogers
o Address: mymobilehomepage.rogers.com

SAVE

It's just not working for me :( I must have tried this config at least 6 times. I also tried with a different ip address for the proxy that I found in my customize.xml backup. Nada. Always get the message something is wrong with the page you tried to access Choose another link. And that's for every link I try including the one above (mymobile...)


I think that I am missing something ..

hmmm yes I have also tried a different proxy address (010.128.001.069) and don't seem to have a problem. What CDA are you using? Maybe you can try 1211-7710, it is a customized Brazil one. When my phone booted up after flashing with SEUS, at first I got spanish prompts on the setup wizard but I was easily able to change it to English. During the setup wizard there is a section that prompts if you want SE to set up your phone settings for you. If you have a Rogers SIM card, I think it detects you are on the Rogers network and it actually auto-configured the goam APN for me automatically. You might need to do a master reset on your phone, maybe you mucked something up after flashing

[angelyne]

I used 1214-8074. It was generated for me by A2 CDA file generator.

I already did try a master reset yesterday, and that didn't change anything.

Hmmm, I suppose I could try reflashing it with the SEUS, although I did do that earlier today with the Rogers CDA and it wouldn't update. Just said that there were no updates available (and no prompts to continue anyway)

I can't flash again till Monday, since I forgot my cable at work. Maybe I'll call Rogers and see if they can help (although I doubt it)

[wongnog]

1214-8074 is the Rogers CDA, are you trying to debrand your phone or rebrand it? Even though SEUS says there are no updates available, what it should say is:

Latest software is already installed!

W760 ROGERS CDF1214-8074

If you are experiencing problems with your phone, a phone software re-installation is recommended. All user data will be overwritten.

Back to start....................................Continue anyway

Just click continue anyway!

[angelyne]

Thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it. Under some circumstances, you simply do not get the message above. You just get a message that no updates are available, and there are no options to continue anyway.

Anyhow, this time it worked. The last time I had forgotten to turn on the phone to apply the changes to my customize_upgrade, so when I ran the SEUS, it updated, but did not rebrand it.

So anyone having issues rebranding with Rogers, two things to remember. Apply the change in customize upgrade by turning the phone on. And if it doesn't work, try again some other day.

In my particular case, my internet is still not working even after the rebrand. So now I can say with certainty that it's not my settings but something on their end.

Edit : The damn goam config finally works. It was a freaking saga, but it works. I'm going to describe the saga for those with more patience than good sense.

Ok. So first I rebrand the darn thing to the ugly, restrictive Rogers crapware. Try the net, no go. So decide to call Rogers.

Call 1. First I'm told that I'm in the wrong place and that they don't handle pay-as-you-go. Get transfered. End up somewhere else where they tell me, I'm still in the wrong place, but he will try to help me anyway. Finally after explaining my story for the second time, he tells me I should put my sim card in another phone just to see if the same thing happens. So I hoof it to a Rogers kiosk and ask them to do what was suggested to me The Internet still doesn't work. The kids at the Kiosk all agree that goam should work, even with pay-as-you-go. So ok, that rules out the phone

Call 2 - Call back Rogers, same number as before, same queue options, but this time I'm in the right place. wtf? The tech ask me if they changed my sim card. I say no, should they have? She says yes and apologizes. damn. I asked to be transfered to customer service to reverse the 10.75$, I've incurred, trying to get this to work. (The internet.com config does work, but it's 0.75$ a kb, ouch! ). Then, since I got them on the phone, I ask them to add the 7$ unlimited browsing to my services.

So after work, I head back to the kiosk and repeat what the tech told me. The girl tells me it will cost 40$. wtf?? If i want a free replacement I have to go back to the store I bought their damn phone from.

After I leave, I start thinking about that 7$ unlimited that I added to my services. What if ..... So I try it and lo and behold..it works! It had to be the 7$ service. None of the Rogers drones ever mentioned this to me or seemed aware of it.

if i put generic main and fs on my w760 will it fix the fact that i completly randomly delete 2 or 3 files on its file system, i know 1 was only my font xml
but the others may have been folders :(

n e ways can sum1 plzz help its *the best* phone i ever messed up and i need it back

[wongnog]

I would plug it into SEUS and have it reflash the firmware for you

[w580noob]

is there a way to fix the w760, if after reflash theres a config error at standby screen?

sorry to double post* but i forgot to say, seus say im up to date and thats it.no othr options

[wongnog]

I think you should try to change your CDA to a generic one (check out earlier posts to see how). Then turn on your phone to apply the CDA change, turn off your phone, and plug it into SEUS. It should detect the change in CDA and allow you to reflash your firmware.

This is just a guess though, as I have not encountered the config error (nor has SEUS ever told me I can't reflash my phone anyway)
