Rebel SIM with webOS 1.4.0

Note that the Rebel SIM II is officially not compatible with webOS 1.4.0. Many users have experienced problems including "SOS only" mode, damaging their SIM cards, no data connection at all or the Always roaming problem. There is an ongoing discussion at PreCentral.net forums.

The current best workaround (by user sconix) for this problem is to load the phone's modem with an older firmware from a previous webOS release (1.3.5.2 is sufficient), see this post for more info.

In short, you have to extract the castleumtsfw.tar from webOS.tar from the Doctor image. Then copy it to the /tmp directory on the phone a run PmModemUpdater -m -e -o </tmp/castleumtsfw.tar.

Sweden Tele2 Yes Yes No Yes Yes AR 1.3.5.2 QWERTZ O2, use manual network settings
  • Internet APN=internet.tele2.se
  • MMS APN=internet.tele2.se, USERNAME= N/A, PASSWORD = N/A, MMSC=http://mmsc.tele2.se, MMS_PROXY=130.244.202.030:8080
    • The use of no username and password seems to be what makes the Pre unable to use MMS here. Setting it manually empty leads to the Pre automatically entering "hs_null" as the username (and probably password as well).
