X1 on three

[danny5uk]

Hello, my X1 is unlocked and im registerd on three. any one know the gateway and server details for Three UK for MMS messages?

in mms options mine says

servername "3 mms"

gateway "mms.three.co.uk"

port number "8799"

server address "http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mms"

connect via "3 internet"

im sure all these settings where done automatically though as i didnt type any of these in.

These settings dont come up automatically for me. My phone knows im on three. but doesnt use its settings. Its also installed O2 stuff when i do a master reset, but the phone is unlocked.. any help?

you can enter these settings yourself.... just go to mms options and replace the o2 stuff. actually mine was on o2 originally i just flashed it with generic firmware R2A (was before R3 came out) that wiped all the o2 crap off. have a look on here for generic firmwares. i think then it will automatically get the Three details for you because when you start it up theres no carrier settings so it takes the info from your simcard. its been 6months since i did it so my memory is a bit vague!

*edit*

if i remember rightly this is what i did.. youll need to find the generic rom and it should be called "kovsimg.nbh"

- Format a MicroSD card with FAT32 if not yet done
- Copy the Kovsimg.nbh into the root directory of your MicroSD card and insert the card in your phone
- Turn off the phone (USB cable not attached)
- Remove and reinsert the battery
- Hold the volume down button and turn the device on again, still holding both buttons until the 4-color screen shows up.
- Follow the onscreen instructions


im sure if you look on here you can find more detail rom flashing instructions and links to the rom files.. but as you can see its not too hard to do.

if you flush the rom thing, does it have to be done everytime you have to hardboot the phone, i.e. after updating?

and would i have to download the latest rom to update it, or would sonys auto update/website update service still work?

[anothadave]

why would you keep hard booting the phone?? or do you just mean reseting it? once you put the rom on there thats it. its permanent. until you put another rom on there. like putting windows on youre pc. once its there its there until you remove it. yes of course the sony update would still work but there would be no need as youve manually put on the rom yourself! basically at the moment youve got the O2 custom rom on there with the custom O2 menus and rubbish. so you need to find a clean "generic" rom. im assuming youre from the uk from your name so you would need to find the "generic uk rom" the newest version i believe is R3A. have a look in the tutorial section. you just need to find a link to the generic rom, pop it on your memory card and follow the instructions. once youve flashed the phone you can then delete that file off your memory card. remember it will wipe your phone so backup any messages or numbers you want to keep.


you can get what is known as "cooked" roms which have been modified and include many cool extra programs, interfaces etc. have a look at the first post on this website. be warned theres many available! the standard sony roms are also available, i believe the newest is in section 3 of that post. there should be links to everything you need there.
