Out of the box EnergyRom should be configured for our data, You do not need to install a USC Carrier Cab.

Update Roaming list
I do dial *228 and press talk and perform a roaming list update

Phone Codes
Phone Codes at the time of this guide I have not tested phone codes.

SMS & MMS

Out of the box SMS works but MMS does not.

MMS For Titanium, Manila 2.1 or Sense 2.1

Install apristel_Arcsoft MMS_USCellular_5_0_94_128c.cab (attached), soft reset.

*Note* If you get an error that the above cab will not install, then you will need to install "Remove PictureMail & Arcsoft.cab" (attached) first then soft reset. Then install the cab above.

You now have MMS

Here is the Server info for those of you who want it:
You can add a server via SMS / MMS > Options > MMS Options > Servers Tab > New

Enter the below info

Server name: usc
Gateway: left blank
Port number: 80
Server address: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS
Connect via: Network
Send Limit: 500k
(if you have a WAP setting set to NONE)

MMS for Sense 2.5 (new build of 2.5 2011 have arcsoft built in)
Navigate to the Messaging Tab > All Messages > Menu > Settings > Options > Menu > MMS Server > + New

Enter the following settings

Server name: USC
Gateway: (Leave blank)
Port number: 80
Server address: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=your 10 digit number here (example: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=5415551234) *the server is CASE SENSITIVE enter in as shown*
Connect Via:My ISP (or USC Or whatever your data connection is)
Send Limit: 1024 KB
WAP: None

Then click Done.

Set USC as Default. Soft Reset.

You will be able to send MMS using the HTC Messaging but to view MMS you will have to go to WM Messaging via Start > Internet > Messaging > SMS/MMS

MMS for EnergyROM Sense 2.5 Feb 1 Build Work Around

First off USC MMS just wont work with sense 2.5 (at least not that I can get it to work AND i have tried everything). But there are some work arounds that i have found that i now can get both Pic & Vid MMS.

First, set up your MMS Server in the HTC Messaging like this.

Navigate to the Messaging Tab > All Messages > Menu > Settings > Options > Menu > MMS Server > + New

Enter the following settings

Server name: USC
Gateway: (Leave blank)
Port number: 80
Server address: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=your 10 digit number here (example: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=5415551234) *the server is CASE SENSITIVE enter in as shown*
Connect Via:My ISP (or USC Or whatever your data connection is)
Send Limit: 1024 KB
WAP: None

Then click Done.

Set USC as Default.

Next NRGZ has enabled Windows Mobile SMS/MMS as well. To access WM SMS/MMS go to Start > Internet > Messaging > SMS/MMS

OR if you have an email setup, click Email Tab > inbox then slide over to SMS/MMS

Second, Now Setup the WM Messaging MMS Server via Start > Internet > Messaging > SMS/MMS > Options > MMS Options > CDMA Servers Tab > New

Enter the below info

Server name: usc
Gateway: left blank
Port number: 80
Server address: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=your 10 digit number here (example: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=5415551234) *the server is CASE SENSITIVE enter in as shown*
Connect via: My ISP
Send Limit: 300k

Set USC as Default.

Third...
Now how this works. You can send PIC and MMS via HTC Messaging but you cannot view pic or vid MMS via HTC Messaging (you will get a text in HTC messaging but it will be blank and have no attachment).

You have to go to the WM SMS/MMS Start > Internet > Messaging > SMS/MMS) to view your pics and MMS just like you did on Sense 2.1

GPS Settings

Your location setting must be turn ON for GPS to work. For time to time some builds of EnergyROM this setting is set to OFF.

To turn on Location go to:

Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > Services > Location Setting > Get Settings > Turn ON

Soft Reset You will now have GPS.

QuickGPS - Is a program that can speed up the time for determining your GPS position by downloading the latest satellite data via data or internet connection.

EnergyROM has QuickGPS. You can run the program via Start > GPS > QuickGPS > Download

My Radio/Bar Signal Icon is a white icon with an X



This is because our CDMA Worldphone once flashed is looking for a Sim Card. The Sim Card slot is behind the battery. To solve this issue you can purchase a blank Sim Card from ebay or wherever you like.

Just so that you know dude, That is not exactly 100% correct. You most certainly can use the SIM Card. I have T-Mobile SIM card, that can be used on T-Mobile service with a USCC TP2. You have to use the SIM Security Unlocker first. This will allow you to flash the WU Radio Instead of the WV radio that is presently installed.

Thanks for the update.

A big thanks to Murducky. I have been searching for days to add MMS to my TP2 until I stumbled on to your thread. I have the following set up:

Telus TP2 (T7379) worldphone unlocked
GSM Carrier: AT&T (I do not use the CDMA in the U.S.)
ROM: 1.19.661.3 (Stock)
Radio: 1.92.00WV
WM 6.1 (no MMS !!)
CE OS 5.2.21052(Build 21052.1.6.5)

I bought this unlocked in EBay from Canada. AT&T changed the keyboard layout which is really cumbersome! So I went with the Telus TP2 Worldphone. My old phone was the TyTn II.

I loaded your apristel Arcsoft MMS USCellular 5.0.94.128c.cab. Then I used the settings used by AT&T instead of USCC:

Server Name: AT&T MMS
Gateway: wireless.cingular.com
Port Number: 80
Server Address: (http) mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via MEdia Net
Sending Size limitation: 300k (set by AT&T)==> I did not touch this setting.
WAP Version: WAP 2.0

The MEdia Net Settings are:
Connection Name MEdia Net
Select A Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access Point Name: wap.cingular
User Name: (leave this blank)
Password: (leave this blank)
Domain: (leave this blank)

When sending MMS I selected the Pic/Video options. I had to play with the resolution of the photos due to AT&T's limitations. I was able to send VGA (640x480). I will try the higher resolutions later but I do not think it will send much higher resolutions than this. I was able to tweak the camera on this to take about 5 megapixels! (thanks PPCGeeks!). Used CeRegEditor, Total Commander, and Advanced Configurator v3.3 for some of my other tweaks. Great tools! I confirmed I was able to send AND receive MMS! Now I have the option to send via MMS or via E-mail. I love having options!

I am fairly new at this tweaking stuff. But I really loved the challenge and I am glad I stumbled on to your thread! Thank you again. I hope my information above helps out some poor lost soul out there.

Oh, BTW, did I tell you I really love this computer? The TP2 is a computer with phone features!=D> Hats off to HTC and to you guys!

Second, Now Setup the WM Messaging MMS Server via Start > Internet > Messaging > SMS/MMS > Options > MMS Options > CDMA Servers Tab > New

Enter the below info

Server name: usc
Gateway: left blank
Port number: 80
Server address: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=your 10 digit number here (example: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS?X-USC-MDN=5415551234) *the server is CASE SENSITIVE enter in as shown*
Connect via: My ISP
Send Limit: 300k

Set USC as Default.

I do not have the an MMS options page. When I click on the SMS/MMS account the only options I have are to send a call back number. What am I doing wrong??

what ROM and version are you using.. did you install the remove PIC Cab if so that why

[swlaraut]

Great thread!! I just got my TP2 from Thanksgiving (long story). Was not sure I was going to unlock and custom it because it was running 2.1 sense and I prefer that to 2.5. But I came across your thread and went ahead. All worked great. I had left NRG a long time ago because of bugs and ,dare I say it, battery issues so I was a little skeptical about going back. So far I am on the stable 2.1 and it works great, and battery on these thing is super.
I was able to setup and send MMS out of the box so that was great, no new arcsoft needed.

2 quik issues:

BAF MSL grabber does not seem to work on these roms (2.1's anyway). If your having a problem getting your code you can go here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...=bafmsl+sprint . Or see the attachment for the info.

Secondly for murducky, what radio are you running? We are close enough I would like to know.

Great thread, keep up the good work.

I am still using stock radio. Haven't had the time to research on how to security unlock and flash to a new one. But i will soon.
