T-Mobile G1 Data Connection Issues! PLEASE HELP

[GeofG_88]

OK guys here’s my problem. I think that I have done something to my G1.

On seeing a load of vids on YouTube I went ahead and started to install the hero rom on my G1, I also used an xdathread to help me out

The process went install RC7 root it, install RC8 then install cupcake ADP and a new radio thing then install the hero rom

I did RC7>RC8>ADP fine then info was a bit thin on the ground for the final stage and the video wasn’t that well organised and I started the hero process from the wrong video and ended up deleting the recovery img that had been used to root my G1 and was present during the RC7>8>ADP install I then set about installing the hero rom holding power and home it started on the process and then aborted because something went wrong. I panicked and wiped the phone and put it back to the stock RC7.

I then had to re-register the phone with Google but the phone couldn’t communicate with the Google servers.

This is when I 1st thought something was wrong. I then used adb to bring up the wifi settings window to get passed the Google window. Since getting past the Google screen it says T-Mobile as my network but it doesn’t say 3G up top and I can’t send, receive texts or go online and I could before I started the Hero rom install.

Can anyone suggest what could be wrong?

Cheers

press the menu button and bring up your APN list... most likely the ROM you have installed did not have an APN list, and you will have to enter them yourself...

epc.tmobile.com is the APN you will want to enter in... i could be wrong about this, but this would be the first thing on my mind

waiiiit, a sign in for market, is that how Google decides what market you get? as in if I make a Google account saying I'm in the US would I be able to get the full Market?

something like that . the apps you download are tied into your google account . if you buy another android phone or factory reset your phone , your contacts and apps will sync back to your account . you will just need to reinstall the apps .

what territory apps you get will be from where you are getting your phone signal . but the apps follow your google account
