keeping mobile broadband connect - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am working on a my first incredible rom, and I'm running into a problem with mobile broadband connect. it doesn't work. I am working off the stock image from htc using dsixdas kitchen. Even without modifying anything inside, I lose my broadband connect.
My question is, what am I missing that's preventing mobile broadband to work.
PS, mobile broadband connect doesn't work on any other roms I've tried either.

better question is why do you want this to work? after all when your in root you get the free wifi tether.. just saying...

I want it because my company pays for it. I use it in my car because I have an in car pc, and wi-fi tether and pda net are not as reliable as the legit broadband connect.
For example, on the 3 hour trip to my in laws, which I take the same route every time, I usually stream a netflix movie for my wife and kid, and with VZ access manager using broadband connect, I have reliable internet for 90% of the trip, but when using wi-fi tether, or pda net, it's maybe 50% of the trip, they just don't seem to hold the data connection very well.
Also, it's the ethics of it, I am using a service, I will pay for that service. Especially since I use it for business as well, I prefer following the rules.

1. did you have it working with the stock ROM?
2. have you tried creating a dial-up connection using #777 as the number,
your 10 digit phone [email protected] (or @dun.vzw3g.com) as the username, and vzw as the password?
I am not sure if you need to use the @dun.zvw3g.com if you haven't edited the DUN number in EPST

1) Yes, it works fine with the stock rom
2) can't get a dial up connection to work at all, even with the stock rom.

have you ever installed pdanet on the computer you are trying to use?
the reason I ask is because I used it once with my incredible and I was not able to use any other method of connecting, (dial-up or vzaccess manager) I uninstalled it and was still having the problem, it wouldn't even work after manually reinstalling the modem drivers for it, I ultimately had to do a system restore to before I installed the program before I was able to connect using either of the other two methods. I have never used pdanet after that.

I don't think that's the problem. Because If I restore the phone back to the original stock rom, VZ acess manager works fine, even with pda net installed on the computer. There are 2 different profiles in the connection manager, one for pda net modem, and one for verizon dial up modem.
The error I'm getting says the modem is already in use or set up wrong. I've tried unninstalling everything and re-installing on the computer, but I definately think the problem is phone side, not computer side, because as I said, I can restore the stock rom, and everything works fine.

Dash wont connect to pc

So im trying to connect my dash so i can install windows 6.1 kavana, currently running the rose 6.5rom i believe. So when i go to hook it up to my pc nothing comes up its as if the phone was not connected at all, now i was thinking should i hard reset and then try to install, or what can i do?
ok did the hard reset that didnt do much but reset it, anyway i can get it so it shows up on my pc as connected so then i can re-flash?
Have you gone into the USB settings and unchecked the "Advanced Functionality" setting? After you've done that, you should be able to form a relationship between your pc and Windows Mobile Device Center or Activesync depending on what Windows OS you're using.
yea i did that still doesnt connect comes up as generic device asks for a driver and since i dont have one it says device not installed correctly, also noticed i couldnt sent mms messages.
nvm got it working with a little bit of searching

What was your solution? Thanks.
You probably had to disable the sdcard, if you have one I assume.
It was dumb but i had to install active sync since i forgot to install that after the format of my pc and for the MMS i had to go into the connectivity menu and set it up for tmobile, all working perfect now..only if i could get better signal though, anyway of just installing an update for the radio?

Not really. Don't know where you live but signal is 90% of the times dependent from your carrier. Unless you have a RAZR, than its your phone not picking up much.

[Q] Rooted Evo 4g 3.30 No Tether capabilities Error code 67

Ok so I rooted my:
Evo 4g
Hardware version 004
Hboot2.02
Software version 3.30.651
I used all in one Autoroot file in the forum "[ROOT] ~~~ HTC EVO - Universal Auto Root ~~~ v2.0 (Updated for 3.70)(1/4/11)"
It rooted fine and flashed the sprint lovers rom. It Also updated my software version to 3.70.
Problem is I cant seem to tether my 3g or 4g connection with my computer. Keep getting error code 67. Tied Wi-fi-tether, Barnacle, sprint hotspot. Same thing always Error msg, then my mobile network shuts off. If I turn it back on usb tethering turns off. Did I flash the wrong Pc36IMG? Any help would be great! Thanks

Can you use the mobile internet on your phone?
I would start with a ##786# and reset.
[You'll need the MSL to do so, use MSL reader from the app market, requires root]
Uploaded the APK in case you can't access the market.
I would try what is said in the post below first but if that doesn't work I would try this route.

Youll need to update your wireless profile and PRL and it should come back. Mine did that too after I was done testing it, it could be either the ROM or the recovery since they are both new. That should fix you up there but if it doesn't just shoot me a msg and help you figure out what is causing it.
Ok So I updated the wireless profile and PRL. Still get the error 67.
Mobile network is working.
Have MLS reader. It appers to be working(MLS reader that is)
How do I "start with a ##786# and reset".
Im noob but learning..
Try this bro

Let me kno if it works, just flash it like a rom no need to wipe nothing.

There is another way to do the 786 rest without wiping, use ##3282# -> edit -> data profile -> menu(cap button) -> restore

Ok so called ##786# and reset. No dice.
Whats the easiest way to flash That file? And have you tested it or am I testing it out?? Thanks
I think what we are looking at here, is a new Evo owner. Unless you are paying sprint for the mobile hotspot plan $29.99/mo extra on your bill, you cannot tether unless you flash a tether hack, or flash a custom rom that has tethering unlocked. You will always receive error 67 unless you either unlock your tethering by paying sprint their fee, or flashing a fix for it.
So is the sprint lovers Rom tethering unlocked? Or hacked

Err, wait a min. You are right. I think he if trying to use sprints tethering.
I don't think it is unlocked in sprint lovers, you'll bed to user the wireless tether app instead.

Mmmkay.
So I flashed the Calkulins evo tethering fix(above). I dont get any more error 67 msg, But My computer doesnt seem to find the connection anymore. It found before with limited connectivity b4 the .Zip flash. No connectivity really, but it was there. Any New drivers needed?
Also tried the ##3282# made it to edit then it asked for a password. My profile password has letters, Keyboard for password entry only has numbers.. What password is it looking for.
I am using (trying to at least) Wi-fi-tether, wi-fi-hotspot. Phone is set to USB tethering mode. Usb debugging off.
Found that easy-tether works, could just pay for the upgrade.. Anybody know how ET compares to wi-fi-tether?
Thanks for all the help

Ok, sorry I forgot about sprints hot spot. Look up "wireless tether for root user" on the market, that one works pretty good.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thank you to everyone! I don't know exactly why but, USB tethering works now. Calkulins .Zip file was Key to getting rid of error MSG.
USB tether didn't work right away. For some reason Barnacle was the only one that my comp would recognize at first. After it recognized the connection using Baracle, all other apps started to work(wi-fi-tether, Wireless tether for root, etc). Thanks again!

Tether no longer working after Lollipop update

I have a Singapore release of the One M8 and last night I ran the lollipop OTA. The install went fine with no problems but for some reason today tethering is no longer working. I've tried both wifi and usb tether on multiple computers with the same problem, that is it connects fine but there is no internet access. I've done a factory reset as well to no avail. I've also tried different APNs but didn't make any difference.
Anyone have any ideas?

Are you running any kind of firewall setup? I had an issue with tethering and UDP on lollipop. The solution was to switch to a blacklist.
I currently have the firewall turned off in Windows 8.

I actually meant on the phone. Android has iptables built in. However, I am guessing that is not your problem.
At this point, I have no idea, though.

I'm truly sorry to give you a bad news, but Lollipop by default disables tethering for networks that prohibit that (and believe me, more prohibit it than allow it - sometimes this info is very well hidden in contract).
I spent a long time trying to fix it, but with no luck.
Tethering works though with networks that allow it.
I fought with that after receiving Lollipop update to my NVIDIA SHIELD tablet - a total failure. Some folks reported that after rooting it helps one, simple modification of one config file. Let me know if you decide to root your phone, so I can give you some links. Google did block tethering on purpose - the have to play nicely with network operators, right? The trick is with packet's TTL - all you get on your connected device is timeout errors.
I won't tell you more details on that because I gave up - I didn't want to root my tablet.
But don't seek errors in your PC/whatever you want to connect to your Lollipop-based access point - it ain't gonna work.
P.S. Play Store apps that don't require root and are marketed as problem solvers don't work as well. The only way is root...
My carrier doesn't block tethering. It worked fine before the update and I also checked with my carrier and tethering is permitted.
I don't mind rooting so please post the links you are referring to.

Same problem to me. After installing Lollipop on my HTC One M8, no tethering anymore. Also, for some reasons, I cannor root my phone.
Someone have the procedure to root it with Lollipop again?

Can't use as storage device windows thinks its a modem?

What I want to do is download the pictures off of my phone onto my computer via usb cable but, after I tethered it to my computer I can't seem to make that work anymore and in devices it shows up as a modem... I'm on 5.0.1 and windows 8 pro. If you need any more info just ask. btw I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers but that didnt seem to work... thanks!
Tethering shouldn't be turned on in the phone settings. Tethering allows your computer to use your phone as a wired hotspot, aka modem. Turn off tethering and you'll be good to go.

I know it works on my other computer so its something to do with the drivers but I've tried uninstalling them as best I can and reinstalling them maybe I'm just missing something. Thanks tho!

RR-N-5.8.5 - USB file access not working / Unable to connect to a PEAP wifi

Hi folks,
I upgraded my N7100 a couple of weeks ago to rr-n-5.8.x. I then used the built-in upgrade function and I'm currently running RR-N-5.8.5-20171206-n7100-Final. The new ROM seems to be working well but has two notable problems:
1. When I plug into USB, Windows recognises the phone, opens Explorer but neither files nor folders are visible.
2. I'm unable to connect to the PEAP wifi network at my university.
3. (Before I updated to 5.8.5, it seemed that the phone couldn't talk to the GPS. I haven't tested my nav software since I updated.)
I previously ran a custom ROM for several years without trouble and I'm using the same USB cables and ports as I have been for over a year so I'm confident that the cables and ports are fine.
My phone can connect to WPA2 networks without a problem and I was able to connect to uni wifi prior to the upgrade to RR. My laptop connects to the uni wifi so I know that my login/password are OK.
Any ideas why I'm having these problems? Would I be best to switch to a different ROM? I don't do much with my phone but GPS, USB file access and uni wifi are essential for me.
Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I've flashed those up. Looks like my USB problem was just that I had it set to 'charge only' mode, not file transfer. So that's fixed! Heading in to uni soon so I'll get to test if the new BL/CP helped get the wifi running.
No change on the WIFI, sadly.
