Bug: pre cannot activate after webos doctor

My phone goofed during the update and I had to use the webos doctor to get it back.  It worked perfectly but when my phone came back and attempted to log into my palm profile I kept getting
Verify that you are connected to your wireless service provider's network
and had no data connection (even though I had perfect signal)  i did some googling and convinced the sprint represenative to re provision my  entire account (not just the phone) whch was the only thing which wound up working.  She said the only way she could imagine that a software change could affect account settings is if the reflash changed or reset the provisioning password?
I do not pretend to understand the inner workings of wireless devices or account services, but there have been many people with this same issue.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

CONFIMED!!!!
Flashed my palm pre which was using webOS 1.1 with the newest webOS Doctor available from palm (assuming webOS 1.04).
Everything flashed fine. when I booted the phone on for the first time. confirmed language and tried to sign into my palm profile. 
Got an error message that I need to make sure that I am in my providers data service range. (Which I know I was)
Called sprint tech to help. Tryed asking them to provision my account. NOTHING WORKED.  2 hours of phone support later I was told I needed a new phone.
Sprint Tech Guy gave me a hard time, after telling him that tech support noted on my account I needed a new phone, I received one, phone worked first boot.
If RyanFX can confirm that he flashed from webOS 1.1, I would say the issue lies with  palm and that the webOS Doctor is actually downgrading the phone causnig it to freak out the network!!!!
NOTE: That the webOS 1.1 also updates the sprint profile from 1.6 to 1.7
This probably causes a network confusion of some sort.

  • Cannot activate after carrier unlock

    Cannot activate iphone after carrier unlock.  Device says Apple's activation servers are unavailable and iTunes says no sim card in the device I am trying to activate.
    The original carrier is AT&T, I live in Canada therefore I am not able to insert an AT&T sim card in the device. 
    I have restored and updated through itunes as instructed.  Restored as new many times in fact.
    Any suggestions?

    Well there's nothing we here in this forum can do for you.  It's between you, the person who sold you the phone, and the carrier.  You'll need to somehow work it out amongst yourselves. 
    Nothing we users nor Apple can do at this point.  Either the person is lying to you and telling you the phone was unlocked, or the phones was unlocked improperly.

  • IMessage cannot activate after moving to new operator with same number (MNP)

    Hi
    I recently started using a new mobile operator, but kept my number from the previous operator.
    After endless attempts at activating iMessage, I always get "Cannot activate iMessage".
    I tried endless things: completely wiping out my device and starting from scratch without restoring from backup, working on Wi-Fi, working on cellular, changing DNS address, logging out of iMessage on my Mac. I have also verified that I am able to send text messages to international destinations.
    I'm using an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3.
    Please help! I am desperate here.
    Thanks

    Hello. I had exactly the same problem, a few weeks ago I switched from Telcel operator to Movistar Mexico and iMessage / Facetime were unable to activate. The point is that in some plans, Movistar does not allow to send "international" SMS , even the fact that you have unlimited messages to national carriers ( within Mexico ). So you have to purchase an additional "recharge bag" starting from 30 MXN , which will allow your iPhone to send the SMS which will activate iMessage / Facetime. This was the fix ! Best regards.
    In Spanish here :
    Hola. Tuve exactamente el mismo problema, hace algunas semanas me cambie del operador Telcel a Movistar Mexico y entonces iMessage / Facetime ya no se podian activar. El punto es que en algunos "planes", Movistar no permite enviar SMS "internacionales", aun cuando tienes mensajes ilimitados a operadores nacionales ( dentro de Mexico ). Asi que lo que tienes que hacer es comprar una "bolsa adicional de recarga" que puede ser desde 30 pesos mexicanos, lo cual le permitira a tu iPhone que envie el SMS , que activara iMessage / Facetime. Esto soluciono el problema !. Saludos.

  • Why Isn't the WEBos Doctor working??

    I can't download it. It keeps saying I don't have a "JRE" configuration. What does this mean?
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    JRE stands for "Java Runtime Environment".
    I'd head over to java.com and make sure you have the latest version of Java installed.  If using a 64bit system, be sure to download both the 32bit version, and the 64bit versions.

  • Java blocks webos doctor

    I have an HP touchpad wi-fi only.  I was trying to install the webos doctor as my device has been increasingly cranky and not opening some referred websites and mime files.  I got the doctor partly installed and Java blocked the completion saying the certificate was out of date.  When I checked the box to take the risk, Java still blocked the installation saying it was dangerous to install the program. 
    How do I "refresh" my tablet? As I am sure you know, HP no longer supports the tablet :-(   Many thanks.

  • I have just upgraded to IOS 7 and for some reason iMessage and face time will not work. It asks me for my Apple ID username and password and when I enter then it tries to sign in and then after a few minutes comes up with cannot activate try connection ?

    I have just upgraded my iPad to iOS 7 and now FaceTime and iMessage will not allow me to sign in. I enter my appl I'd and password but after a few minutes I get a message to say cannot activate try network connection then try again no matter how many times you do this it will not sign in. Any thoughts ?
    Thanks neil

    try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. The servers may still be having a hard time keeping up, so you may just need to wait a little while and try again.

    cannot activate my viber after i update to 6.1.3 iphone 3gs..can u please help me...the the code is ok but if i activate...its being error.

    @theViberTeam .
    I'm having trouble with Viber.
    A few days ago, I accidentally uninstalled it on my IPhone 4, and reinstalled it later on..
    When I tried sending the activation code using the same cell phone number I had on Viber before It got uninstalled, I receive the code but when I try to put it in it keeps saying that I entered the wrong activation code, I click on the no code feature on the top right corner of Viber, it gives me a code, but when I put that code in it says the same thing ,that I have the wrong access code please try again, and so I researched on the internet and came up to this post, It said to uninstall viber and wait 24 hours to install it again, I waited 24hours and tried it again, but it STILL does the same thing. and... I even tried entering my other phone number, yet it does the same thing and shows me the same message that I entered the wrong access code....It is getting frustrating! May you please Help ME?! What can I do??

    it seems like apple's activation servers have gone down under the weight of the overwhelming amount of activation requests. you will be able to activate your phone once the servers are able to catch up with the activation requests.
