Lost on Verizon to Alltel upgrade

Okay, I was given a Verizon HTC Touch by a friend that switched to AT&T. I did my research, found the stock Alltel ROM and unlocker. Upgraded the Rom and called Alltel tech support to manually program and activate the phone. It works but it says I am roaming all the time, even in my home area. Also my email won't work and when I try to update roaming (*228) it says, "Welcome to the Verizon network".
Being that I am a noob at this I am pleased I have made it this far. Can anyone tell me what I have missed or overlooked?
Many thanks,
Mike

Well I found out what the problem is. The PRL is incorrect. I need (according to Alltel tech support) PRL # 30031.
Surely someone here has run into this problem unless all you Alltel people aren't using the internet. Please help.............................

Well if I keep on going I will have answered all of my own questions. I found the PRL and updated it. Now I can tower update on Alltel but still can't connect to the internet. I keep getting "Incorrect name and password" even though they are correct. User is phone [email protected], Password is "alltel".
Anybody.....anybody?

You HA Shared key is probably wrong, which I don't know how you can reset. I did it by using ##786 and then doing a restore but not all roms support it.

I am having the same problem with internet. I did find that to activate it you can dial *22801 here and it dialed alltels system instead of Verizon. Try *228 (00-09) to find how to update roaming and activate your phone. Im still waiting to find out if you can fix the internet and MMS. If you find out PM me with the info.

Unlock At&T Tilt for Optus or other Australian Provider

Hi All, I have taken my At&T Tilt to Australia. AT&T provided the unlock code which seems to have worked. Seems is the operative word. I can make and receive domestic and interntional calls. I can send and receive domestic text. I can connect to networks via Wi-Fi. However, what does not work is the data connection to the Optus/ Virgin network, despite me manually configuring the set up per instructions for the TyTn II I was given. It does not make or receive domestic or international MMS. It does not make or receive international text. I inserted the SIM card into another WM6 smart phone, Australian edition of the HTC diamond, and it was able to connect to the internet via the cell phone network. So it is not the SIM card. I have tried some configuration changes without effect. HTC says it is a ROM issue. I would like additional opinions and of course, any fixes. The phone beats all other phones, including the iPhone for my needs so I want to keep it. Thank you.

Maybe it is the radio! Read through the radio thread in the kaiser section and if you can, contact your provider to see what radio they use for their stock ROM and flash that radio or the closest one! read the thread all the way through to see if anyone else is in your area and what radio they are using! Hopefully that helps!
Edit:Here you go click this link...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182&page=5
First post is from a guy in your part of the word! Try the radio he lists or if you have to, maybe you can PM him! Hope you get it working, I would go nuts without my data working! You can PM me as well if you have any more questions!

Could be a proxy issue etc. Internation text/calls would be subject to having international 'access' provided by Optus. maybe register and check out HTC club for any ROM specific to Optus?

HTC Evo 4g on Bell Mobility

Hello
So I managed to get my HTC Evo on Bell, I can make calls and send text messages, however I have no data connectivity. I have been trying to search forums and read up on how to solve this but I have not been able to find a solution yet. The phone seems to be stuck on Mobile Network "Turning On" forever.
The phone is NAND unlocked and rooted I have the Home SID/NID set to 16420 and 65535 like they should be for bell. The MCC is 302 for Canada. The MNC appears to be problematic though, as bell's CDMA is on MNC 651 but I can only enter 2 characters on the EPST settings for MNC? If anyone knows the settings I need to use to get this working on Bell I would be willing to compensate them for their effort since I have an unlimited data plan with Bell right now that I am missing out on !
Thank you
I have also started getting the Data Call Failure + Voicemail errors after getting my phone on bell.

I am in the same boat, I have spent over 10hrs. working on this. The MNC is 64 {640 truncated to 64}.
If you have any more success let me know please.
The problem for me lies in the m.ip settings.

Guys did you try posting in the Evo section? there might someone who can help or you could ask the Bell CS to help you configure it,
here is some i found, let me know if its helpful, its for telus, but you could follow instructions tho
http://cytraxtech.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-program-your-htc-evo-to-work-on.html

hmm well i set the MNC to the correct value.... i guess the only way to fix this is to actually go to the bell store and get them to give me all the info for the network.... but that presents a problem as the evo is known as an omnia on my account ;p

Call them lol, tell them your phone got messed up

Wondering if you can help me out getting my evo working on telus (Talk/text). Its unlocked. Im trying to zero out MEID/ESN (which is what i was told i need to do) .. Been trying for a while and still no luck!
Im desperate .. and would really appreciate the help!
Thanks

jmathieu2 the only way you can get your phone to work... is if you already have a cdma phone from telus so that you have a meid in their database to work with. then you have to zero out your evos meid and change it to the other phones meid,
you need htc diag drivers, cdma workshop full* costs $100, qxdm, and qpst and a lot of luck : -D i can do it for you if you live in the toronto or kingston area

The MNC 640 is
640 Bell Bell Mobility Operational UMTS 850 / UMTS 1900
651 Bell Bell Mobility Operational CDMA 800 / CDMA 1900
this is what we need for the evo so how do we enter 651 when we only have 2 characters space!

Here's my update
Using ##debug
under EVDO Engineering I have AN/AAA Authenticated, however, I have no IP
Getting Error 67 pretty regularly
I know the profiles are setup differently when comparing under QPST, on the EVO verses the TP2 for instance. The EVO seems to require using Profile 1 as the default, whereas the TP2 uses Profile 2.
I need to understand the mapping to the different profiles and how Bell uses them.. Bell uses MIP.1x.bell.ca and Services.1x.Bell.ca.
I assume MIP would be used to acquire the IP, based on the name, but I am having no luck at this. been a while now. frustrated doesn't begin to describe it.
I know someone who was succesful on telus, using 220 (22) for the MNC, and since it works for him I am going to use 640 (64) which is the same UMTS 850 / UMTS 1900, I know the phone is an 800/1900, but.....
I updated my build.prop as outlined on Program Evo for Telus
Anyone else have any luck on Bell, or have any insights on my questions?

Thanks for the reply. However I am not in the area About 8-9 hours north.
I do have a telus cdma phone currently (Blackberry curve 8330)
I have all the tools except I am not using the full version of cdma workshop.
I have already zero'ed our 9 MEID numbers and then re scanned the memory but not finding anything. I'm wondering If i might be scanning the wrong memory locations?!
evo has 2 readable ranges
0x00fa0000 - 00ff0000 ( 500000 bytes)
0x01080000 - 0x01D70000 ( 13500000 bytes)
Are the locations im scanning in CDMA ws under memory tab - Memory / Eeprom section. Then I open the output .bin file and search for my MEID number .. etc!
My phone is baseband 2.15.00.09.01 / Hardware version 0004
If you could PM me or give me some tips for scanning memory to find the MEID/ESN's to zero that would be great.

there are more ranges if you have 2.2
only thing i can really say is you just go into qxdm and 0 out the meid and reboot the phone and if its all 0 then you did it right... some of them are hard to see when trying to 0 it out make sure you didnt miss anything

I think its my scans in cdma ws that are incorrect.
I scanned memory location 00F9:8000 and 0107:C000 and found most MEID there and used 2 addresses i found online and found 2 more ..
Just not sure where to scan in cdma ws to find more.

Was there anything special you did you get it to get authenticated?
Am working on a Hero, but don't think it should make a difference. I've re-checked all the passwords, just can't seem to figure out why it won't connect.

What carrier are you with?

Also Bell. The only thing I see is the PRI is different, and did not know how/if to change it.

I have never gotten ANY data connection.
If you have 1x, can you please tell me your setup. I believe my problem is in the profiles in QPST. Not sure when to use services.1x.bell.ca, when to use 3g.1x.bell.ca etc. Also, what is your Donor phone? Mine is an HTC Touch, so ESN only, no MEID.
as far as PRL, I am using 31402

Fusion600,
I am researching this before I buy an EVO. I won't bother if I can't get a data connection.
I have my HTC touch 6900 running Android 2.2 It is using MCC/MNC of 310620 and I get data, so i don't think it really matters as long as the ESN is registered with Bell.
Have you made any further progress getting data working? Anyone risk calling Bell? or having them refresh your programming?

I have asked a few bell kiosk and have called in for help. There employees all seem to want to help but dont seem to know how to. I have now managed to get txt and calls to work from doing a little research. I will ask again and see if they can help now with providing some details about setting up data connections. will post if success.

any progess on this?? any one?? msg here or pm me thanks im tying to figure out the data stuff as well for bell

Sorry to bump an old thread, but any news on this? I have an Evo 3D from Rogers and want to bring it to Bell/Virgin mobile. I unlocked it for 8$ from a website for sim unlocking. I get calls and txts but same thing as you guys, no data >.<

[q] flashed the desire sprint radio and prl install

I successfully flashed the CDMA Desire with a Sprint Radio off the Evo. It's baseband 2.15.00.09.01
I also installed PRL 60677 from sprint. I also tried the Cyanogen MOD.
It's currently running the alltel ROM so I can get access to the dialing codes in the PRL but even though I flashed the RADIO and the PRL it still shows the network as alltel and it won't let me get access in menu>settings>Wireless networks>mobile network
I can turn it on. But it either seems to take a long time to turn off, or go off by itself, not sure which. But once its on it is greyed out and won't let me get access to it.
I thought maybe it was the PRI, but I don't see how that could be. Is there some sort of Initial Program Loader from alltel doing this can someone tell me why it won't pick up on a sprint network that I have for cdma like connecting or sharing a connection etc... and won't get off U.S. Cellular network?
I might just try flashing to verizon and see what happens just to observe. It should be a lot easier than flashing to sprint.
edit: I did change all the dialing codes to sprint in the ## menu btw. I used the codes from another sprint Phone.
EDIT: It also won't turn off always when I hit Airplane mode and constantly says "Turning on...." and won't give access when to "Mobile Network" when you hold down the power button and that menu comes up.

I used the original Stock RUU to switch back. It changed the baseband and everything else back and also got rid of my clockwork recovery in the process
The only thing it didn't change is the PRL. I had to redownload that and manually rechange the codes in the ## secret dialing menu's.
As far as I understand I will need to change the esn or have this esn to sprint to be able to get it working on a sprint network. It is very difficult thing to do so I will have to postpone this. I'm thinking there might be some code or something in one of the abstraction layers or HAL layers that is preventing you from changing the esn somewhow... not really sure but that seems like the best place for me to look as it is the interface between the software and hardware. The hardware is there and able to do it, so it must be the most basic software or HAL that is preventing me from doing it I am guessing. BTW this is not illegal. I own my phone. If anything it's illegal for someone to sell me crap that doesn't work the way it should because of bogus programming that's been put on my phone to prevent me from using it! And nikola tesla invented the radio btw where is the money and credit he deserves for this?!

Hey man,
I am trying to do something like this for my wife. I'll let you know how it goes once I get the phone. In the meantime, maybe this might help you?

I know it's not quite the same - taking VZW phone onto Sprint Network, but I thought it might help you out.
I'll post my experience later when I get the phone next week.
Thanks,

I don't think that's quite the same thing. I read through the post and a lot of it didn't make a whole lot of sense. Generally you have to have a compabible esn with the network you want to use. Every carrier has a database of all the esn's that are registered and available to use their service. If you try to connect to their service their software will recognize the esn as false and not grant service even if you install all the correct radio's/basebands, PRL files, Firmware, etc... it just won't work because you don't have an esn in their database so you have no authority to connect to their network. So you have to change the esn. But it's not such a simple thing to change an esn. I'm guessing its written in hexadecimal somewhere in the registry, but maybe not. There are certain command sets like the Haye's command set that only apply to CPU or other hardware like modem/Radio. There is an RIL which communicates between a driver, the modem/radio, and the OS. I'm guessing the esn is communicated and retrieved by the RIL layer that communicates via proxy & a driver or in one other PPP protocol that apparently only communicates with the network at certain times suspiciously. That's because the ESN is apparently located in the radio/modem and people have successfully changed their esn by changing their modem and installing a different one. A modem is essentially an ultra small electronic radio. In the same way that a radio picks up signals out of the air and converts to sound, a modem picks up signals also and can convert to sound as well as internet data, text messaging, etc...

If your radio doesn't have the proper command sets it can not pick up on certain signals such as for example sprint 1900 MHz for a sprint radio/baseband version vs a 900MHz signal for a 900 MHz Verizon. Each carriers software might be set up to block the other carriers signals in certain ways. For example each carrier has roaming agreements with the other carriers so that when you go out of your host carriers network say from Verizon into Sprint then you can "roam" and still get coverage. Sprint in this case provides the coverage and therefore they have an agreement to use each others network to provide better coverage. They may also pay each other small fees to use their network. Roaming, carrier type, cell number, mobile network operator, ip addresses, etc... can all be preprogrammed into CDMA handsets through ## secret dialing modes. This only works on CDMA handsets or in CDMA mode on your phone (i.e. not GSM). Usually on HTC devices you press ##775# to update a PRL file which is the Preferred Roaming List. That is usually easy enough, but this may not always update all your phones programming and you may have to do so manually through other ## dialing codes such as Primary HA secondary HA MCC (Mobile Country code) MNC (Mobile Network code) etc... Even if you do all that though it serves no purpose if the esn isn't registered to the network that you want to use. Generally only Cricket and MetroPCs in the USA will register a CDMA esn to use on their handsets. All the other carriers like Sprint, Att, Verizon, etc... generally won't do it, hence you can't get CDMA service from them if you have a CDMA capable handset even if you update all of your files as there is a program that is run on behalf of the carriers that manually checks your phones ESN/MEID/etc... to see if you have the "proper Credentials" or authorization to use their network. In this case the authorization is given on whether or not if your ESN is in their database and that it aslo can be in their database but blacklisted or grey listed in the case of you have an innactive account and need to pay them to get it "white Listed" or if you have a debt on your account or the phone is reported stolen it may be "black Listed". Usually you can flash to Cricket or MetropCs fairly easily though and they will even do it for you for a small fee.

[Q] How can i change from verizon to a carrier in India?

Hi, i just bought the phone off ebay about a week back.
through a contact my dad has in Reliance(carrier in India), i have somehow manged to get my meid registered., the phone has been rooted and is running stock sense 2.0 ROM. every time i go to wireless&networks and set the network selection to home only, i get no signal. putting it on automatic gives me a roaming sign on the network bar. dialing *228(while roaming is on) brings me to a reliance answering machine(?). after choosing my language, it tells me that my phone could not be activated.
please help. many people have manged to do this but im not getting any response from them.
thanks, Sid.

Dial ##778# and change settings manually. The code is 000000. You will have to change Home SID to the SID for Reliance and change MDN and MSID. If your old phone worked, easiest way is to change the settings to match your old phone.

I've tried dialing ##778#, but nothing happens. just takes me back to the dialer. should i change my ROM?

How about ##7764726#?
If neither will work, you might have to flash to a stock ROM. Both should definitely work from a stock ROM.

just recovered the stock ROM and ##778# works! ive also manged to get the prl from my carrier, but i dont have my old phone. i can probably arrange the the MID no.s etc, though. Also, i dont have to change the ESN, do i?

I think these are the things you will have to change:
MDN is your full phone number including area code. In the US, this is 10-digits.
MIN1 in the US is typically the 3-digit area code.
MIN2 is typically the 7-digit local number.
MIN1 and MIN2 can be different than the MDN, but that's very rare and usually only happens if you've had a phone number change.
MNC and MCC will need to be changed for your country.
MCC+MNC+MIN1+MIN2 = IMSI, which is the the subscriber identification for your cell provider so you need to get those 4 settings correct.
Home SID will need to be changed to Reliance.
I think MCC, MNC, and Home SID you should be able to get from any working CDMA phone that successfully connects to Reliance. Maybe get it from a friend or family member's phone. MDN, MIN1, and MIN2 should be the only things unique to your phone.
No, if your MEID is registered, you don't have to change it or the ESN.

ive managed to change the prl, and now its activated on the network. after dialing *228 it tells me that my phone is blocked. my dads gonna use his contact and get that ironed out today.
thanks for all your help.

hi this is vivek i also have a droid and it also has the same problem but the meid is not registered and it is rooted and has a stock rom but when i dial ##778# it juz come to the dailer so what shud i do pls help me out

MEID will need to be registered. There's really no reason to proceed if it's not, because the network won't see your phone.
##778# sometimes doesn't work on my phone, I often have to reboot it and immediately try ##778#. Oh, and you have to hit Dial after entering it. It will ask for a password, and that's going to be 000000.
However, without having your MEID registered, you won't get anywhere.

hi, make sure you get the a key. im having trouble getting that. last piece of the jigsaw i guess.

Usually a fresh activation doesn't require an A-Key, but if you change MDN/MSID too much, it'll trigger a security lockout in the fraud detection system, and then you will need the A-Key to reset it.
I don't know how it is with Reliance in India, but with Verizon in the US, you have to call a higher level tech support person to get the A-Key. One way to get around that, is to have the ESN/MEID on your account changed to a different device, and then change it back.

hi . ..
i was just wondering if it can be possible to use a
verizon a 855 (without sim) cdma phone in india???
we have cdma networks here ,but not very sure if they
work without sim on a BYOP thing. ...
