Guest gravy1 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Appreciate any help if possible...... I unlocked my orange san francisco and put in my tesco sim and all was well, I installed launcherpro and lost my internet connection although my calls and texts worked fine. a factory restore and deleting launcherpro got my internet back. but I decided to root the phone using the superboot thread on this site and had I read the whole thread and all the problems I wouldn't have tried, but anyway while following the instructions word for word my phone just locked and the pc said "waiting for device". The only way to get the phone to do anything was to remove the battery, since then a factory restore has helped with the few glitches it had but when the tesco sim is inserted it says NO SIM and when I try to add an APN it disappears after saving, and when I try to connect via the o2-uk network it says "your sim does not allow a connection to this network".... any ideas anyone do a paid service to fix this ? My phone is OLE not TFT Edited January 12, 2011 by gravy1

My phone is OLE not TFT literally just setup tesco from an unlocked phone previously with o2. try putting in the name and apn name and save, see if that works as it didnt take to mine first. once you done the name and apn you can go back in and fill in the rest. http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...work-providers/ Edited January 12, 2011 by DrEzkimo
Guest gravy1 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 literally just setup tesco from an unlocked phone previously with o2. try putting in the name and apn name and save, see if that works as it didnt take to mine first. once you done the name and apn you can go back in and fill in the rest. http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...work-providers/ didn't work..... unfortunately I think the attempt to follow the superboot thread that locked it up might have something to do with it. I just hope there's someone knowledgeable enough to be able to undo all the problems and make it start afresh so it will take the tesco sim... I PM'd Paul but got no reply but he probably gets swamped with messages. Maybe there's someone who owns a mobile shop who can sort it for a small price....
Guest Geoff_UK Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) I'm using a Tesco SIM in my SF (£10, 30 day rolling contract - 500mins, 3000 txts and 500meg internet) - I'm running FLB r6 at the moment - no problems at all, network provider shows as O2-UK. Was prev running on stock rom and it worked no probs. Would you be prepared to install clockwork and flash a new rom ?? I guess you've got nothing to lose as it doesn't seem to work now ?? I am totally new to android and the instructions were very clear to install clockwork and then the new rom Good luck Edited January 13, 2011 by Geoff_UK
Guest cbrpaul Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Yes I agree with geoff , i would go down the clockwork route , and install a new rom from zip on the sdcard with it , , wipe all user settings with clockwork and also wipe the delvoc cache too , Follow the " install a rom from scratch thread" on this forum :D

My phone is OLE not TFT -- I have unlocked San Fransisco and Tesco SIM, one month rolling contract, like you. I am able to connect to data and use facebbok, gmail (via application), etc but unable to use internet; browser doesn't open/load any page. Any suggestion?

Tried loading Opera mini web browser via marketplace and see if that works? I Have tesco sim (same deal) working on my unlocked but stock Orange ROM. I had to enter the o2 network settings and it all works. Does it work ok on wifi? - if so then must be a Tesco setting on the phone needing correcting/entering. Edited January 14, 2011 by spannerz
