Make NEW SoftBank AP setting on ANY Hermes ROM W/O cooking!

[itamae]

After I posted ROM-cooking method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297687) to create new SoftBank flat-rate data connection, another Japanese X01HT user has found more easier way today.
I would like to introduce new method with respect for his great work...

Now you DON'T need ROM cooking!

Step 1. Unzip the attached file, and run either ConnSBM.CAB or ConnSBM_noproxy.CAB for your purpose.


ConnSBM.CAB: make a connection, overwrite WirelessMgr_Service.dll and enable hidden proxy (webopen.softbank.ne.jp:8080), it is fully compatible as X01HT's standard connection.
ConnSBM_noproxy.CAB: just make a connection (no WirelessMgr_Service.dll and hidden proxy installation).
The connection will be created, however password entry is still empty at this moment.

Step 2. Run ORE2cert.cab (self-signature certificate for WIFIwake.exe).

Step 3. Copy Out.xml and WIFIwake.exe into \Windows folder.

Step 4. Just RUN WIFIwake.exe from \Windows.


The password will be created into the connection made by ConnSBM.CAB.
To confirm whether success or not, check the connection "Internet > SoftBank", and click "Edit -> Next -> Next". If "****************" is shown at the Password field, the password has been successfully created.

Enjoy!

EDIT: Updated WIFIwake.exe as self-signed version. I've prepared Hermes and Universal version separately (the difference is internal string for each model name). For Universal, at least I could have successfully made the connection on the DarkForce WM6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1172213) for Universal.
Download ConnSBM_ORE2h.zip (for Hermes X01HT) or ConnSBM_ORE2u.zip (for Universal JASJAR) and try it again if the password is still blank.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: It seems to depend on CID...
To make this operation correct on non-SuperCID device, it requires to edit internal device name and CID. The attached file for Hermes seems workable for X01HT(Model: HERM200/CID: VODAK801) or SuperCIDed HERM200 device only, and for Universal, also only for JASJAR (PU10/CDL__001) or SuperCIDed device.
If you cannot create PW, you need to edit CID (01C798h-01C7A7h) using Unicode or UTF-16 mode of binary editor (for non-HERM200 or PU10 device, Model [01C760h-01C76Fh] also), and sign yourself... However, if you burn them into your cooked ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297687), it may works correctly without edit binary (I've successed on my JASJAR, using original WIFIwake.exe from X01HT).
You can determine your CID using info 2 command of mtty.exe.

[Alcibiade]

Too bad I alreday cooked mine...

[ratnapura]

great!!
it's perfect work on my x01ht with wm6lvsw edition!!

thank you

[Kilihari]

Thank you so much! I love it!

[c3000_user]

Will you understand the password?
Because it is necessary when using it from the personal computer as a
modem.

[hiroshiy]

It seems this CAB utilize WiFi manager or something?
When I extracted the files from ZIP and executed the CAB, copy the Out.xml and WIFIwake.exe to \Windows folder and executed WIFIwake.exe, nothing happens. The connection Internet was created but the password is still blank.

[ohchan1123]

Hi Itamae!
Very Very Good Job!!
But Dont Create Password in my Universal.Of course　installing　According to the procedure.
Please Help.

My Universal is 02 Xda Exec
ROM:2.10.04JPN
Radio:1.08

[jokinawa]

Nice, I was messing around and the wifiwake will not put the password without the out.xml file but I was able to edit the text in the out.xml (which was about 300 letter As) and add some more random letters in there and it created it. Anyone think they can decompile the exe and look for the actual password?

[ohchan1123]

VeryVery Thanks Itamae!!
Exec ROM Changed SuperCID,I Succeess Created New AP.:)

[Micor X]

Not only Hermes JPN cross bow has came!
But also Soft bank connection in defualt!

go! go go!

Is this guide for fresh devices only, or can I use it on the phone with all my current programs and files intact? I mean, do I need to hard reset the phone to get this to work, or will it work regardless of whether I hard reset or not?

[masayasu]

Hello itamae,
thank you very nice program!!
I wish ,,,,I have request to you,
Please make WAFIwake for Athena(HERM200,PU10)ATHE100,

im just quite worried though, what if, sofbank releases another hurdle for flashed x01ht's? i hope they wont.

[s2k7]

It is bad news!
I just think to upgrade to Black v2.0.
Any reason for this?:(
Waiting for your work-around!:)

I am using MicorX WM6 which includes this batch in the rom.
It surely works well after April.

not working with dark force 2.0

[Ryuerik]

Sorry for the previews message:(
I just had a bad ROM installation I guess.
I reflashed my device and tdaaaa!!:D
So go ahead and enjoy the superspeed of the Dark 2!:D
It is sooo FAST MAN!!!

[mandrix]

Hi,

Excellent work, I could create a GPRS connection and a password.

But there is a unique problem, the internet explorer is giving a problem. its giving an error stating

"The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again."

My wi-fi connection is working fine as when I installed Opera Mobile, its connecting to the wi-fi internet. But only Opera from my device.

When I Uninstall the cabs, internet explorer is connecting using wi-fi internet connection.

Pls let me know how i can solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

[mandrix]

HI

I am also facing the same problem, did you find any solution for this problem.

Im Missing my WIFI :confused:

[Flipzoid]

What will the hidden proxy do? Apologies I am a newbie

[sajithoppil]

:)

Thanks for the post. All things are back to normal

Any one knows if blackberry connect work on X01ht ?

Best regards.

[s2k7]

I mean I can use WIFI by my trick.:)
The situation is that you got WIFI connected but the PROXY SERVER was not correct.

HI

I am also facing the same problem, did you find any solution for this problem.

Im Missing my WIFI :confused:

[yusuke_mik]

thanks a lot, it is working well to connect to Internet.

However We used to have ActiveSync connected over 3G in SSL to synchronise with our company Exchange server, this is not working anymore. No matter how Many times we tries. ( It is like it is not even trying to initate the 3G connection ).

With Softbank OS it is working after importing the certificate but our Boss ( Foreigner ) is not going to be able to use Japanese OS so I am still stuck for the moment.

Well I guess I could just try to use another provider like Docomo or..are other provider in Japan also keeping APN password secret ?

Very annoying as it is a tool for work, which also use by Many Foreign Employee.

[yusuke_mik]

Nevermind, Finally got it to work :

- Hard reset
- create the softbank connection Entry manually with a blank password
- setup Exchange server and try to synchronise ( of course it fails once as the password for softbank apn is still blank and no security certificate )
- Then do all the process written by Itamae except I skip directly to the Step 2 ( Step 1 works but then ActiveSync with Exchange server is not working anymore, don' t know why it is stucked )
- Import Security Certificate
- synchro works, boss happy yeah :)

Thanks again to the author of this workaround !

[chainbolt]

I wonder whether the cabs would also work with other WM5 or WM6 based devices, like Athena.

[auyongtc]

What exactly is different between connSBM and connSBM_noproxy? If using the one with noproxy, will I be charged normal packet rate instead of the open AP unlimited rate? A bit confused here.

Must I manually put in the proxy server address all the time I want to use the connection then? Please advise.

[java25]

I can't seem to run WIFIwake.exe
After clicking on it, nothing happens.
How do I run this ?
Sorry but I am a noob at this stuff.

[Zgembo]

When you run WIFIwake.exe nothing should happen! At least, nothing that you can see... It just creates password for SoftBank connection. Check if it is created in Settings/Connections.

[khammo01]

Are you having any problems with LSVW? I have tried LSVW WM6 and Black 2.0 and the Softbank connection dies after about an hour. The only way I can get it back is to softreset the device. Very annoying.

Sometimes it shows the "connected" icon and Activesync shows "Connected" but when I press Sync, nothing happens.

[chainbolt]

Actually not in my case. I am using LSVW WM6 with Radio 1.38/1.40 with an O2 XDA Trion and the Softbank connection never dies.

[RayB]

A big big thanks for this!

Worked great on the no proxy option.

Is there any other way (for a Softbank user) than using Softbank's webopen connnection (as described above) to make a GPRS data connection? I don't need the flat-rate connection. :confused:

[tudo]

It is my problem too. It can connect to the router but can't load the webpage.

I solved this problem in my X01HT:

Delete registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings] "EnableAutoDetect"

[chainbolt]

I have a TyTn, I am subscribed to Softbank, and use it in Japan without any problems using the "Softbank AP" setting described in the OP.

BUT, is there any other way known to make a GPRS connection using Softbank than by the "open.softbank.ne.jp" connection. I have tried the settings described in this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276643

But they don't work anymore. Any idea?

The reason why I am asking is: I am considering to get an Athena and want to use it with my Softbank contract - but of course only if I can make the GPRS connection work, and I am not sure that way described in the OP works with all WM5/6 devices.

I know that Softbanks "flat rate" tariff" is based on "open.softbank.ne.jp", but that does not matter, as I use my phone for business purposes.

[theroadworrior]

Great Man This is finally working. I went to vodafone I called them.
But they didnt want to give me the information.

All the passwords on the internet are out of date. And I think not working anymore.
I worked to overrule my temporary problem with AI@vodafone
Password vodafone.
And i had to add DNS servers, but now i do not need it any more.
I use finally opensoftbank user.
Thank you very much.

These is a problem:
When this method applied to the latest roms(Like LVSW_RUU_Hermes_WWE_3.30.2.1), It will prevent PIE get connection by using WIFI.

Changing the PIE's agent might work... But it is said to create extra problems, with sms...
Here is what should have be in registry:

What is PIE? :confused: I have been using the method described in the OP with all the latest WM6 ROMs and have no problem to connect via WIFI.

Anway, there is no alternative for a Softbank user to make a GSPR connection with a Hermes than described in the OP. Whatever this "PIE" is, throw it out.

PIE = Pocket Internet Exploder ;)

Hello,
I am using an unlocked HTC8525 (HERM100 is the product ID) in Japan with success as a phone with my Softbank account. I setup a Softbank connection without the password, and kept getting the "cannot connect" errors, which led me to this thread...

I followed the instructions, and although cannot figure out which version to use (proxy vs. non-proxy) or why (any comments?)... I was able to get the connection working (it seems). I no longer get the connect errors. I am receiving messages (only MMS, even though I am sending SMS messages to myself from my wife's Softbank phone). The phone acts as if it downloads it, but I cannot read any of the body of the message. I can only see the header with the subject.

Also, the old Cingular connection has seemed to disappear, which I will need when I take my phone with back to the US next week.

After I did this process the first time (using the non-proxy version), the softbank was created, and the Cingular disappeared. I tried downloading some mails without success.

I went back to the connections, and only the "My Work Network" was there (this was while the internet was supposedly connected). I then disconnected the softbank connection and the cingular showed up.

I reinstalled using the proxy version, and it seemed to work, and created the softbank connection, but the cingular disappeared.

Any help would be appreciated...

I am also not able to access the internet via Softbank, but it's probably a related problem.

thanks a lot in advance. I don't know how long my wife's patience will be with me not being able to receive my messages while on my biz trips :)

[jeffharris]

I am a little confused about all this. I just subscribed last month to the Yen 980 data plan, which apparently caps at Yen 9800 for the month or something (as I am only in Japan a few times a year). I still use the vodafone APN for data on my Hermes. Do I need to use this fix?

Meaning, is this the flat rate plan that needs this change?

I am going to Japan Wednesday, to use my 980 plan ofr the first time. I am glad maybe I caught this thread !!

[khammo01]

Is there any way in hell this would work on a non-Hermes or non-Universal device? I'd like to work it on a Smartphone Edition... (a Samsung Blackjack or a new HTC S630...)

Maybe when the X02HT (same as HTC s630) comes out, there will be a way to make it work on Smartphone Edition devices??

[jeffharris]

I cannot get a password generated -- what the heck am I doing wrong??? And, why the hack can' we just figure out the password for the stupid softbank (who, as I am in Japan now, spoke with, and will NOT give the settings!!)

Anyone willing to make US$100 to get me working, go to my web site, www.jeffharris.com , call me in Japan tomorrow on my Japan number, and help me out -- I'll PayPal you on success. I was charged $800 2 months ago, as I used the ai@vodafone, and didn't realize this was not included in the Yen 980 plan.

[KochiDie]

I've had a go at the OP's instructions several times now, hard resetting each time, but I still get a blank password each time. I wonder if you need WM6.0 for this to work...

TyTN (HERM200)
WM5.0
Softbank

[khammo01]

You don't need WM6. I am using now with WM5. You might need to SuperCID your device to get it to work with a device that is not originally a Softbank X01HT.

[AquiEsta!]

thanks a lot in advance. I don't know how long my wife's patience will be with me not being able to receive my messages while on my biz trips :)


Same problem here with the wife and I tell you that SoftBank's logic for
this password is so stupid. If it's just one password for everyone can't
someone just crack the fricken thing? I couldn't careless if I don't have
an internet connection for surfing but this stupid crap kills everything on
the phone except calls. The wife can't send me text msgs or e-mail so
she's freaking out on me because she doesn't want to call me all the time. :mad:

I rather use WiFi for surfing but I must have the e-mail and text msg working
or my life will be hell. :(

DUDE!!! $800 for two months and you didn't die from a heart attack?!? :eek:

I KNOW! I was on the fricken phone all week with SoftDick and all they
could say was "you will have to do a hard reset". Well, yeah that won't
work when you have a different OS eventhough I still have the patch
ExtROM minus the 0182.exe file.

When I asked them why they couldn't just give me the password so I
could enter it they said they don't have it. Later that changed to we
don't give it out. Why?!? Stupid laziness is what they amount to at
SoftDick.

In the end I think I will just say PHUCK them at SoftDick and just use the
phone as a phone only with them and WiFi for the 'net.This way I am sure
I will never get a surprise bill from them from internet usage. If I can't
connect when I'm trying to, then I sure as hell won't be able to by "accident".

[hamster0914]

Try this: when you've copied the files, run the certificate maker, and run wifiwake, open the connection settings dialog. From there, just edit the softbank connection and click next, next and finish without touching anything else.

This worked for me once when it didn't connect properly.

I won't be able to try that until I finish up here in Canada and return to Japan
but I will try that right after I try jokinawa's suggestion if that doesn't work
on my dog's breakfast of a setup I have on my X01HT. :)

Thanks for the info.

Any way to capture the Softbank password and move the settings to another Windows Mobile device? I want to use a Smartphone edition on Softbank but wifiupdate of course doesn't populate the password. Any way to capture this setting and move to a different phone? I wouldn't need to know the actual password. Where is this password information stored? I tried to move registry settings but that didn't work.

It's not so much the simlock and data access block but more the way that
they assign ONE password that is the SAME for every customer. If something
does go wrong with your connection all that SoftBank can say it "hard reset". :mad:

If someone hacks this password it will teach them a lesson NOT to be lazy,
but then again why are they worried about this? I mean we still have to pay
for the access or am I missing something here? :confused:

Change EnableAutoDetect to 1

Good luck, worked for me.

[justonce]

I just gone through all the post and I'm interested in doing it...

but just to clarify things out, Making new Softbank AP setting does this mean unlimited PC dirrect usage with minimum packet plan??? I know using basic packet plan would max you out to 10,000 yen then goes unlimited...

please clarify this for me.

[justonce]

it might sound stupid but does this work also on Softbank rom...for I tried on mine but nothing happens.

Question on the first and second step: should I run the program from the phone itself or should I run it through active sync?

please help...

[justonce]

I guess I was able to answer my own question. I was doing it wrong the first time and finally figure out how to make one...

but one more question that keeps bothering me is that, what does this new Softbank AP actually do? does this mean you won't pay extra after "packet 10" plan or it allows you to have a flat rate on /Packet (128 bytes) use?

any answer is greatly apreciated before I end up paying more that what I should expect...

[ysi]

thanks for the mail. i am useing a o2 xda exec. i tried and tried to get the AP settings work but cant get the password. can any body help me please
thanks

Hi all, I've WM6'ed my X01HT, and have also ConnSMB (with proxy??). Internet browsing works fine, but for the life of me, I can't get my POP3 mail which had been working fine under Softbank's WM5 build. It's a connectivity issue as looking at my mail.log, I'm not even getting a POP3 login/connection.

It is connecting via open.softbank.ne.jp (same as for web) but doesn't reach my server. Has anyone else experienced this? Any recommendations?

hi,

1. Flashed x01ht with new HTC official wm06,
2. Softbank ap settings are generated using getting done. password is created using ConnSBM.
perfect till now. no issues. I could access internet with this gprs connection.

3. Now after this, I configure my home wifi connection to connect internet.
wifi connections is connected. i can see the connected ssymbol. but my PIE is givinng me an error, "page not found".

at this point if I install "opera for pocket pc", it is able to use my wifi connection. at the same time, skype for ppc is also using my wifi connection.

on the other hand, when i try to open windows live(new wm06 feature), it is trying to connect to GPRS connection and getting connected, but not taking the current active connected wifi connection.
but the main issue is PIE is not working and windows live is not able to use wifi.
now I delet the softbank AP settings created by ConnSBM, and every thing i have on my device is working fine with wifi connection. no issues. at this point if i need to recreate softbank AP its not creating a new connection as it had created earlier. THE ONLY OPTION AT THIS POINT IS HARD RESET.
I ahve done it several times till now and used diffrent sequence. but,

PIE, windows live has problem working together with wifi and gprs.

sequence #2 which i tried,

after flashing, run ConnSBM to get softbank ap settings. after done, without using PIE, get wifi settings.
now goto connections and just edit open.softbank.ne.jp, without touching anything finish it.

GR8, now gprs and wifi is working with PIE. BUT now WINDOWS LIVE IS NOT able to connect to internet.

pls. let me know how I can make Windows LIve get working to use the direct to push(which is my prime interest for wm06 with win live).

POF I seek your help here!!!!


CAN anyone here would like to give me some correct method to do it.
let me know if any perticular information si needed to solve this prob. Did anyone had this prob before?????

Hi, I tried this on my Treo 750, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there any other way of generating the password for the Softbank AP?

I run into the same problem. The solution is to disable the proxy setting in the registry.

HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet Settings

Change EnableAutoDetect to 1

[chainbolt]

The method will only work on a Hermes or Universal.

How do you know this? How about Athena/Advantage? Anybody has tried this?

[Xero]

I can definitely confirm chainbolt's findings on that registry key.
It's pretty much required to enable the autodetect key after you run the AP settings.. you get a short error message in kanji if you don't do this.

[fumifumi]

it's perfect work on my PDA.

[chainbolt]

it's perfect work on my PDA.

Is your PDA the Hermes? I am still wondering whether the procedure described by the OP works also for other WM6 devices, like the Athena.

[chainbolt]

I am a little confused about all this. I just subscribed last month to the Yen 980 data plan, which apparently caps at Yen 9800 for the month or something (as I am only in Japan a few times a year). I still use the vodafone APN for data on my Hermes. Do I need to use this fix?


that would be very expensive

[onake]

I also tried on my 750v... does not work. Any good souls know how to the flat rate softbank japan apn and pw set up for Treo 750v?

Thanks in advance.

[chainbolt]

Thanks in advance.

It is confirmed working only on the Hermes and one other HTC phone. But I am sure you know how to make a SoftBank GRPS connection the "regular" way.

[onake]

hi chainbolt,

what is the 'regular' way? still cannot get the flat rate setting done. : (

[larsuck]

@onake I assume Chainbolt was referring to the ai@softbank connection which does not fall under the flat rate plan.

In a related issue, did anyone else recieve a SMS yesterday (9/10) from Softbank warning X01HT users about extra connection charges when sending S!Mail and/or connecting to the Internet?

Could this be a warning for people like Jeff Harris (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1300245&postcount=48)who got caught out?

Or perhaps this is a warning that they are somehow going to start cracking down on those of us who have used these AP settings to get our flat-rate connections back after upgrading to English OS/WM6.

I received it as well. I suspect there has been users complaining about extra costs and they want to avoir legal issues... Softbank has prviously been charged with abusing users with deceiving wording on their plans...
I dont really see how they could "Crackdown" on users and distinguish between the way people get connected

[larsuck]

Well, that is reassuring. Thank you Al.

[larsuck]

@onake and chainbolt etc.

I have been looking at the differences between the SB AP setting packages for the universal and the hermes, and from what I can tell only the WIFIwake files are different.

I am happy with my Hermes, but I am also interested in seeing other phones freed up to work on the SB network. I don't know exactly how, but couldn't someone take apart these exe files, look at their differences, and figure out a way to change them so they would work on other phones?

Obviously I am out of my depth here, but I have a feeling that editing these files isn't impossible - for someone else that is.

[tetsuokaneda]

So everything works properly on my Hermes but the only things that don't wan't to work is Messenger,every time that i try to open it it tells me "there's a connectivity problem........."i've fixed the problem of PIE changing the registry key to 1 and now i dont have a problem,i don't have other problems with all the others programs like Skype,Fring,so now i'm wondering why only Messenger got this kind of problem?Does anyone had this same problem?
I really need this program!

[larsuck]

Okay, I got the WIFIwake.exe files open and I can't make heads or tails of most of it. However, I have found a string of about 200 or so random upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols.

I have a feeling that the password is being taken from somewhere in this string. It looks passwordish.

I assume I am looking for a string that is 16 symbols in length (as the last one was).

I have one question for anyone who may know: Can this password contain symbols (like + or |) or is it strictly numbers and letters?

[chainbolt]

hi chainbolt,

what is the 'regular' way? still cannot get the flat rate setting done. : (

The "regular" way is using the SB "Packet Communication Service" at the AP "softbank". The big difference is that you have to pay, depending on the plan, for the amount of packets downloaded, whereas the AP "open.softbank.ne.jp" connection is flat rate.

The "regular way" is configered automatically by the network wizard, if you have WM6. Or you can do it manually

AP: softbank
user: ai@softbank
password: softbank

But again, the regular way is much more expensive.

[tetsuokaneda]

Nobody have problem with Messenger???

[larsuck]

Yes, many people have problems with messenger, but I sincerely doubt it has anything to do with the Softbank AP settings.

Here is a google search of this site for "windows live messenger can't connect" (http://www.google.com/search?q=windows+live+messenger+can%27t+connect+si te:forum%2exda%2ddevelopers%2ecom)

Data connection is not the point. You can make this easily with a Hermes using "Softbank". ;)

AP: softbank
Username: ai@softbank
password: softbank

This makes a GPRS connection and you are charged for the actual number of packets - which can get enormously expensive.

The AP "open.softbank.ne.jp" connection described in the first post of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1172318&postcount=1) gives you access to Softbank's flat rate connection. That's a totally different matter. ;) We are talking about a lot of money here if you use your Hermes on a regular basis for browsing.

[allan1]

I don't actually browse on my device with Wap. I prefer to use WiFi. But I just thought it might help with setting up MMS.
Anyway ....

[larsuck]

Allan1, I haven't tried this connection, but I would think any softbank connection would work to get MMS when using the MMSlite program. Does it work for you?

Also, many people on Softbank with non-Hermes machines have just opted like you to use their Wifi instead of using Softbank's more expensive conneciton. Pretty stupid of Softbank to dissuade their customers from using their services, but then there you go.

[tetsuokaneda]

MMSlite is the best,it works without problems.Regarding messenger,the weird thing is that it worked with another different rom,same internet SoftBank settings,the problem is with the Schaps rom,there's no reason to make messenger work,if i change rom i don't have problem!Now i'm wondering how is possible?I've tried to install another messenger too but with the same result!I'ts a pity i really like the Schaps one but without messenger and Hotmail is too much for me.....

[Michael Nielsen]

I am completely unable to get the password in from WifiWake.exe file on my device. Does anyone know if the password has recently changed or what could be the problem.

Thanks

[larsuck]

Are you using a Hermes? If not, then WIFIwake won't work.
If you are using a Hermes, please make sure you are using the WIFIwake from the package for Hermes This is designated by an h in the title of the original zip file, rather than a u for Universal.

[chaimd]

WIFIwake.exe works perfectly on CID Unlocked Treo750:) ,
without a code patch & sign.:D It's a great job!

But WIFIwake doesn't work on my CID Unlocked Kaiser:( .
I unlocked by pof's Hard-SPL tool, and checked CID is 00000000 by "info 2".
I tried patched WIFIWake.exe, "HERM200" to "KAIS130", and self-sign,
it does'nt work.

Does anyone success that WIFIwake works on Kaiser?

[larsuck]

Wow! That's the first I have heard of that, and it is great news! Do you use the wifiwake in the Hermes .zip file? Or the Universal .zip file? Or is it a patched wifiwake specifically for the Treo?

I know that ;

2. ConnSBM_ORE2h.zip works Treo750/750v unlocked by Nextgen.

Yes, I use Pof's great tool. My Kaiser's CID is 00000000, now. I'll try more in my own power. Thank you.

[chaimd]

Finally, patched & signed WIFIwake.exe works completely!
If you use connnSBM on Kaiser, you must memorize Pre-Unlocked CID.

I needed to patch not only 01C760h-01C76Fh/01C798h-01C7A7h, but aloso 01C770h-01C794h, some patterns to try.:)

[Zgembo]

thats sounds great... have the patched exe?

[chaimd]

The patched WIFIwake.exe is here. Look at 01C760h-01C7A7h.:)

[larsuck]

I took the liberty of posting this info and the wifiwake file on the Kaiser forum in the Kaiser on Softbank in Japan (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328362&highlight=softbank) thread.

@Chaimd, there will probably be some questions there regarding CID unlocking etc. if you have time to take them.

[chaimd]

Thank you, larsuck.:)
I'll help them, as far as possible.

[Falk]

Just a little question regarding the data options: I got a simple White Plan (only) card yesterday and tried the "ai@vodafone" and "ai@softbank" APs with it quickly and without any problems. I also created the flatrate connection and password using the above mothod. But whenever I try to connect it puts my Uni into an endless loop without ever establishing the connection. I tried the same with a friend's (White Plan) card and it connected without any problems. Any ideas what might be the problem?

[larsuck]

You say you just got the white plan? To access the flat rate you have to sign up for the packet-shi-houdai (all you can packet), which is another 980 yen a month minimum, 10000 yen maximum.

Also, to use the internet at all, you have to sign up for a 300 yen basic pack (or some such bullshit name) that includes email and packet internet usage.

Or at least that is what I have been led to believe. Sorry, it is late where I am.

[Falk]

Thank you for your answer! 980円　-　１００００円： Now that leaves room for my imagination ;-) I am not sure how fast I am going to max out, but maybe you can tell me a bit more from your experience?

And I actually didn't subscribe to the basic pack - the contract is without any internet access. That's why I wonder how I can connect using the normal Vodafone / Softbank APs. So I guess you can at least save those 300円 if SMS and the expensive internet access are good enough for you.

Hmmm... That is interesting. I guess that 300 yen pays for MMS only then if you can access through the regular APs.

Or perhaps, and this may be totally off, but perhaps the regular APs are charged on a time basis (like phone calls) and the 300 pays for MMS and the packet connection (which is charged by kilobites).

As far as usage and money is concerned... I'm really not the guy to ask. I actually hardly use the GPRS connection for internet. I only use it to look up something on wikipedia, or to check train times once or twice a month and never enough to go over the initial charge of 980.

However, I am signed up for the 10000 yen cap because I mess around with my phone a lot, installing lots of different things, and you never know when/if one of those rogue .cabs is going to start updating or pulling weather data off the net every 20 minutes or refreshing rss feeds every hour or whathaveyou. I would rather pay the 980 just for the piece of mind that I get from knowing I will never get a 80000+ bill (which someone on this forum reported getting once).

Basically, a good rule of thumb is - if you are going to use the internet everyday, then the 980 plan is probably worth it. It is definately worth it if you are having email pushed to you or have any programs that update regularly (like the weather program on HTC home).

Hello everyone,
just recently I flashed the original WM6 HTC Rom. It's working great. Today I tried the method posted here to allow GPRS connection. I'm using an X01HT without SUPERCID but HardSPL 2.10 Olipro. I checked the configuration and even got *************** in the password field, however when I try to connect then I get the following error message > お客様の端末からはご利用になれません。(WJ46012E) Any ideas on how to fix it? Tks! GG

[larsuck]

@greengaijin

I googled your error code, and the only two references I found had to do with accessing a keitai (mobile) site via netfront.

Are you using netfront when you get this message?

Are you pointing your browser to a keitai site? Or is your homepage set to a keitai site?

[softbank2007]

I wonder if anyone can poissibly help me. I have just purchased the excellent X800 by Eten to use in Japan on the Softbank network. It is a really neat machine and can even use Skype via the earpiece on the actual phone!

However, I want to use the Softbank settings that were ported from the Hermes phone but as I appreciate the CID is probably different and after having tried to use Wifiwake.exe there is no password generated on my Eten device....very frustrating as I actually subscribed to pay for the anytime service through Softbank!

Can anyone help me SuperCID my device or even alter the device CID to look like a Hermes device so that I can use the Softbank settings via wifiwake.exe??

Your help would be most humbly appreciated from someone who knows next to nothing about programming....:confused:

[greengaijin]

Hey Larsuck, tks for your reply. I'm not using Netfront, neither I'm pointing the browser to a keitai site. It seems the password was generated correctly, so the problem could have to do with CID thing as my phone isn't super CID. In this case, what should I do?

[tora201]

I had this as well. What you need to do is go to:

Hkey_current_user/software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/InternetSettings/EnableAutoDetect


and set the thing to 1.

Save changes and you will then be able to connect as per usual.

[HungryHippo]

hi everyone. Ive read through the whole thread but im still not clear on something. I have installed schaps 4.3 rom and when i use the cabs here i can mail mms but i cant connect to the internet with opera. If i use the connection wizard built into schaps rom i can do everything with no problems.

Now heres the big question.

I have the unlimited packet plan. Do I need to use the settings here or can I just use the connection wizard to setup the connection?

Hey Greengaijin, it should work fine! did you try a softreset after doing it? It fixed exactly the same problem for me, no problems. I have done this on multiple phones and all worked fine. Are you sure you saved the registry changes, etc?
Yep MMS works fine (with MSSlite). Arcsoft MMS does not work with Softbank.

Has Softbank changed internet settings again?

Cuz for the past several days I have problems connecting to it.

I Can send MMS and receive, but after one or two messages, I cant connect anymore. If I try to use Pocket Internet Explorer it says "Remote Modem Has Disconected".

And I also cant send MMS. It takes me 3-4 "retries" before I can send something.

Usually soft reset or turning on/off flight mode helps, but just after next MMS send time :(

what can it be?

[HungryHippo]

I havent had any problems connecting lately.
have you tried reinstalling the cabs again?

[frod.mrv]

I've updated my X01HT to WM6 LVSW latest build yestreday.

Now, I cant use Pocket IE.
when i try to connect to internet, it connects, but than when opening any page it says:

エラー発生しました。リクエストが不正です。
(WJ46000E)

what can be a problem?

p.s MMS, SMS, phone calls make\receive work fine.

[frod.mrv]

After I posted [URL="http://forum.xda-
[B]ConnSBM.CAB: make a connection, overwrite WirelessMgr_Service.dll and enable hidden proxy (webopen.softbank.ne.jp:8080), it is fully compatible as X01HT's standard connection.
ConnSBM_noproxy.CAB: just make a connection (no WirelessMgr_Service.dll and hidden proxy installation).
The connection will be created, however password entry is still empty at this moment.


does anyone can explain what is the differents between two settings?

when i use the first one - my internet connection doesnt work it when i try to connect it says "エラー発生しました。リクエストが不正です。(WJ46000E)"

the second settings works fine, but one of my friends says, that this satting doesnt work with flat rate, so if i use it i can get a huge bill....

can someone explain the difference and also maybe there are some new settings and\or proxies to use?

[tonidekohlanta]

Hello everyone,
As I'm trying to do all the SIM-unlocking, ROM flashing process, I wanted to have some answers about X01HT and I thought it was an appropriate thread. Sorry if it isn't!
I just cannot understand if the ExtROM is important or not to be connected to the Softbank network. As I will be flashing the device, maybe the ExtROM will disappear (as I want to unlock it and because there is the annoying "update_h182.exe", I have to make it disappear). Do I have to reinstall the files in order to be recognize by the network, or is it only for splash screen and so on. The Internet configuration (including the password everyone is looking for!) is inside the ExtROM or not? I think I never really understand what the ExtROM is useful for, but I've read this forum for 6 months, and I never found its real importance!
Thank you for help!

[tonidekohlanta]

I think I found by myself a (sort of) reply to my question.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1065356&postcount=9

I have seen several other threads with others having the same problem so I am going to try to ask this question in several different threads.

I have no errors and everything works fine in the process, just like everybody says it does, but still nothing for acquiring a signal. It just either shows an exclamation point or searching dots. I have compared the various carrier options on my phone to other Softbank phones and everything is the same networks except acknowledging the Softbank network.

I'm praying there is some smart person out there who can figure this out...PLEASE...PRETTY PLEASE...

Tried flashing to a different radio? What is your radio version, anyway? If you can get NO SIGNAL at all, then it is most likely a radio problem.

No success... I tried several different radio upgrades...no success

"I'm starting to think there is no solution:mad: I have unlocked and uploaded and reloaded and re-unlocked, etc but still the same problem...My phone can not access the cellular network.

Sorry man. You don't have the radios to communicate with the towers here. No amount of flashing is going to make your phone work on Softbanks network.

[forrestdbrown]

Do you know how to get the radio to work on Softbank...please!!!!

I think your right, and I put two different radio upgrades on this phone and still the same results...How can I get Softbanks radio.

Will the fix mentioned in the first post still work today? That post was March 2007 and I read elsewhere that the AP has changed since April 2007....

I am still using the ai@softbank connection and I an concerned about connection charges. At the same time I dont want to try something that will sever the connection completly.

Thanks!!!

Kureigu, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

Yes, the fix will still work. It has been working for me. If you have any problems, please contact me.

Yep, alive and kickin' ! The last time I used it was in January and it always worked well. I accumulated 150,000 Yen with roughly 150 MB that month which were cut down to 10,000 as I was using the flatrate. So to all those who are using the old Vodafone access point:

BE
VERY
CAREFUL

This will burn a huge hole in your wallet even for casual usage scenarios. Don't even think about using push mail all day or (god forbid!) running Google Maps on it. But even with the flatrate it's extremely expensive in my opinion. Japan is seriously falling behind when it comes to data pricing.

I hope I can go online once more once they adjust their prices to a more sane level. 5000 Yen would be acceptable for a mobile flatrate (aka 5GB these days), but for volume tariffs it should be much below that. I just wish that E-Mobile was an option for me...

Expecting !

I just set this up and am chuffed! My company is picking up the tab so I can be online 24/7 (nice.. or not).

What pisses me off about this is that even when I'm on wireless the bloody 3G wants to kick in.. Seems I can't even stop the bloody thing.

But.. since I've resigned myself to paying IchiMan a month for the service, I suppose it doesn't matter.

That doesn't happen to me ever, but if you REALLY don't want to connect using 3G then you could just turn the Phone function off in your CommManager.

Now, I have been using this patch since its release and i want to thank you very much.

However, I recently bought a HTC Shift and tried to install the connection
within SnapVUE after liberating it. Installation went smoothly, but when starting WIFIWAKE.EXE i get an error message, in Japanese of course.

it tells me that a file is missing. So I tried the update versions from this post. No error message, it creates the connection, but doesnt insert the password.

I have no clue why it wouldnt work.

WIFIwake is unfortunately coded for specific machines. As of now, there are three versions, one for Universal, one for Hermes and one for Kaiser. Other devices that have been CID unlocked have reported success with the one or the other, but there is a good chance none of these files can be used with a Shift.

Thanks for the hint. I will right get on it and test them...

I am using latest CRCs ROM (12.5) and I cant install ConnSBM.CAB
I juste a message saying it s unsuccessful...
Edit: actually if running the cab uncompressed (ie unzipped to a folder instead of running from unrar), I get the following message: "The previous version of Customization Customize_Tool will be removed before the new one is installed" . Then it says it cannot be removed and asks if I want to continue installing the Customization Customize_Tool and then fails
Am I the only one ? Anybody has a work around ?

Don't sweat. ConnSMB is just a shortcut. You can make your own connection without it. Use the following information:
Start>Settings>Connections>Connections
Add a new modem connection
Name: Softbank
Modem: Packet (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: open.softbank.ne.jp
User name: opensoftbank
Password and domain blank.
Finish.

Then run WIFIwake and see if it puts the password in for you. If not, please let me know. There are other solutions.;)

Thanks a lot I was jut mising these settings (I thought the cab was supposed to also open a hidden proxy and that I may need it)
Anyway thaks, it works great !

hmmm... I forgot about that proxy thing... you might want to be careful your first month.

[Alcibiade]

oh :(
Not sure this proxy is actually necessary for the flat fee rate

This should work on any 8525.

Are you sure you are using the ORE2H file? The ORE2W won't work on Hermes.

unless you have somehow changed your model number to something strange. Try this, put your Hermes in bootloader mode ( reset with stylus while pressing and holding the side OK button and the Power button.) There should be some information on the screen. One of these things is your model number - perhaps something like HERM200 or something. Post this info and we will go from there.

[Ryuerik]

Hello larsuck thanks for reply
yes i tryed with Ore2H....:( but no success
my device displays
HERM100 I PL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.a0.olipro
......any ideas?

Strange...

Let's make sure we are talking about the same thing.

I assume it is WIFIwake that is not working. The ConnSBM.cab file installs okay and gives you the Connection settings, right? Then only the password remains blank and the WIFIwake doesn't make the password?
Is this right?

Yes!
ConnSBM.cab and ORE2cert installs Ok !
Then I copy "WIFIwake" with "OUT" files in my Windows directory, i Tap WIFIwake , go to settings connections to check and everything is there except for the ************ (password)....:(
