What does carrier selection do in kitchen? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I have a cooked Sprint ROM on HTC Touch Pro and I am moving from the US to India. I would like to get an Indian account (Reliance or Tata) and I am trying to figure out what the carrier selection does in the cooking of a ROM so I can make the necessary changes to my handset to make it work here.
Does anyone know what parameters need to be changed? I know how to get and change the SPC, but I am looking for more details about what exactly needs to be changed. I hope that it is all in the NAM so I can just change everything there. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dude, WTF are you talking about, lol!
It's a CDMA phone, it's not locked. No CDMA phones are. If you are talking about the "unlock code" to access the programming menu to enter the IMEI it's based off the ESN so you have to call the carrier to get it. It also come times depends how many times the phone has been programmed but not on this phone.
It's a Verizon phone, what carrier are you trying to activate it under? You are going to have to contact your carrier and see if you can get a tech to add it's ESN to their system and then have a tech install that carriers PRL file.
Hi, thanks for the tips.
So, what I have to do is bring the phone to the new carrier and ask them to add the ESN? Do they will need any unlocking code from Verizon? Please hep me to explain to them. Thank alot for your help
You can't just walk into a store or call their customer support. Hopefully you already have service and just need to do an ESN change. Also I presume the carrier you want is also CDMA correct?
You are going to cautiously ask a tech in a store if they know someone at corporate who can add an ESN to their system and you may have to make it worth his while. Then he is going to have to download that carriers PRL for you. Then he himself can do the ESN change and programming. Based on the ESN he should be able to figure the unlock code for the programming menu or he may have to do it over the air.
Lastly and very important, you are going to have to hard reset and install the ExtROM for your carriers version of that phone. If it's Telus or Sprint we can help you with that.

I went to my new carrier Telefonica del Peru:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Priority 2
32385 [D] RM ?? (Peru)
32509 [D] RM ?? (Peru)
32511 [D] RM Telefonica Del Peru - Lima (Peru)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
But they couldn't give me a PRL.
WHAT IS PRL?
Is it a complex file?
Is it just a secuence of numbers?
Is it a special program *.prl?
Where can I find the infamous PRL to transer into the phone an update the old?. Currently appears PRL version 50224.
An the *.prl file appears in blank.
Thanks in advance.

if its a harrier theres no wm5,wm6,wm6.1 nor wm6.5 for these phones sorry, but in the other hand if its a HCT blue angel the gsm variant then yes.
Not using Radio
I have an old Sprint PPC 6600 (PH20A2). It is not activated for service on Sprint. Since I am not using the Radio, will a Blue Angel ROM work for me to give me WM 5 or higher. I'd like to have this device run WM 5 or higher so I can test and use other WM programs before I use them on my Touch Pro.
Verizon XV6600 To MetroPCS ESN issue
I have everything working correctly, simply by loading the PRL and changing some options in the service menu (dialed ##778<talk> code:000000) I can contact MetroPCS, recieve notification of voicemail but I cannot make calls or receive them because the ESN is not is not registered with their company. I contacted them over the phone and spoke with them personally at a local store but they said they couldnt do it for this particular phone. So is there a way to change my ESN or clone the ESN of the phone I currently own and have service for?
FYI:MetroPCS flashes the rom and then clones the ESN numbers, so its perfectly legal in Florida.

+1.
This forum has been vital in helping my in every aspect in getting my 6600 from VZW to Sprint. Now I just need to change the ESN number over to a sprint one so I can use the phone.
Any thoughts? Its just something to use in the interim until a more permanent solution arises.
Help?
i don't really know about the harrier and also i don't really have a clue about cdma networks, we don't have stuff like that in europe, but anyways, i was curious and googled "ESN number" and guess what popped up 3rd in search, a way to change it. at least for normal phones, anyways, here's the link, maybe it can help you:
http://www.ehow.com/how_2051233_change-esn-number.html
and by just looking at the screenshots, it actually might work, since all that is just dependable of a virtual com port, assigned to usb and seems independant from the phone's os, just need the modem drivers.
and maybe this might help you too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=846264&postcount=6
i really don't know whether any of that was helpful, but since i am already here and there are hardly any harrier users around, might anyone want to explain to me, why there even is such a problem? maybe i could help and search things more effectively then, basicly i just know about gsm, and my phone works with any card, and my card works with any phone, my carrier does not know about my imei, my brand, my phone model or my position. they just know my name, birthday and address, they don't even have my bank information or anything.
that is why i don't get all the lockings and restrictions and probably am a poor help right now.
greetz and best luck

Yes, I've tried that several times before, but the phone never uses a specific port when connecting via USB or blue tooth. It never shows up/is recognized on QPST even when connected to the cradle, and or in Bootloader mode. It seems that, unfortunately, in order for QPST to connect to the phone, the phone needs to be in DM (daig mode) which doesnt seem to exist because the code ##diag+talk or ##diag# nor any supplied before manages to set the phone in said mode. I've spent countless hours searching the net looking for an answer and so far nothing has come up. Which is why I decided to post here. My last and most recent discovery has been dmrouter.exe but so far I havent been able to try it. If it works I'll post it as a solution here. If it does not then I think I'm going to sell my phone and buy a blackberry...
Sorry guys, but no luck. The most i managed to do was dump the ROM to the SD card and play with the data. I'll have to look deeper into it to determine how to change the ESN since its quite a bit of data.
here is a link to the instructions if you're interested in giving it a try yourselves:

have fun and good luck.

Modifying a ROM Country / Vendor ID

I have read that this is possible on 4winmobile but cannot find the relevant thread which relates.
Can any smart programmer here point me in the direction of where I could learn how to do this? ... If indeed (hopefully) it can be done!
.... my aim: to upload another ROM (ie HTC, Dopod) onto my locked UK O2 Orbit.... it's currently stuck in bootloader and it would be nice if this was something I could try to do!
Thanks.

As far as i know you dont have to match software versions...you will need to install hard spl though in order to flash to other roms though. As for the uk settings??, you dont have to use them if you dont want to. The TLR rom comes with the settings to set up uk providers on the phone but you dont have to use it..just ignore the message or dismiss it when it pops up.
But before you flashing to any rom you will need to install hard spl...heres the direct link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
Its the second post down with the CAB file attached...follwo the instructions and you will be fine then download TLR or any other rom and just flash it but again make sure you read before flashing as you might mess it up.
yea allright thank you. i know about the spl i was flashing 6.1 on tmo shadow. and on the shadow it wasnt really a problem but on motorola rizr i had to match software or something. thank you.

Which HSPL to use for HTC rome( aka HTC smart) ?

I desperately googled it....but found no answers.
o wise ppl of XDA....please guide me how i can flash HTC's stupid BrewMP with android 2.1 or winMo 6.5.
Is it possible? what ROM i should use ?
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
even UPSL method will do...just anything to get me rid of BrewMP
uspl not free!my computer use it only one!wuwu!
Yeah even i'm stuck up with Brew OS, pls someone hwlp me install android or winmo !!
HTC Smart
My HTC Smart download twitter fail Help me
There would be no SPL needed for the HTC Smart as the BrewOS apparently loads directly from the flash, no need for a SPL to kickstart the process.
BrewOS woulds directly at hardware level, not like Android or WinMo.
I could be wrong, but for the moment, it's unlikely.

Hi gerlynch,What beside you serial number on Device?Sorry for my inglish,my HT04XP005143
Hi Ahror
I just tried your number and it did not work so i think they may be network/region tied.

Shipped ROMS
Shippedroms.com has lots of htc smart (rome) firmwares, unfortunately not the O2 firmware i need to reflash the water damaged one i got...
Will have to wait till o2 bring out new firmware (if ever)
I haven't found a way of getting any of these onto the phone yet... but still uses RUU like all the other new HTC Qualcomm devices... main issue is Vendor ID. I am pretty sure no version of HSPL type program for HTC Smart.
If anyone has a copy of the O2 version please let me know where to get it from.
Cheers
Hi, if we can download the rom upgrade from htc (from htc.com/es for example), its possible to change the original language (english, chinese and thai) to spanish ? my serial number is not valid for download the latest version.
Unfortunately, no...
You can not just reflash your HTC with the ROM which is compiled for another language/region. The RUU will stop with "Invalid Vendor" error.
This problem is solved here for most of HTC devices, but not (hope "not yet") for our Rome/Smart.
Regardless that Smart is just a phone, not a smartphone, it is still HTC. And it needs kind of modified loader which would allow to use different ROM.
I have an O2 Smart in hand and wish to flash it with any ganeric ROM, but still have no luck finding the way.
Flashed with South East Asia Rom in India
Downloaded the Rom from South East Asia and using the Hex editor changed the CID, and was able to flash the ROM on my HTC Smart.
To change the CID use the HEX Editor and change the CID in .nbh file to your country and use it.

hey raj_codes, i've done this and downloaded the hex editor, but i'm not sure how to change CID, and what CID of my carrier / country is?
i'm on telenor, serbia, and can't find any info about its CID on internet.
thanks and sorry for probably lame questions, i'm not into flashing and stuff, but this original smart / rome ROM drives me insane.
thanks.
For those from serbia u must download from polish part of htc site worked like a charm,so you must find your region if you want to flash your rom,this could be find if you check languages on your phone

Well, I don't know about Serbia CID, I also didn't find anything on th web.
Try it anyway flashing the South Asian Rom, it may work if there isn't any lock.
And the original Smart Rom and the one of South East Asia has only one difference that it doesn't come with Carrier application installed, thats why I am using it, I like clean Rom.
Sorry, for late answer and wasn't able to help further.

I am trying to so the same thing with Russian ROM. I have bought the phone in the US and also downloaded the Russian ROM. The problem is: How do you extract CID from the ROM? Can anybody please tell us about this procedure in some more details or at least direct to some useful link? .(Google search wan't helpful at all).
Where in the file did you locate and change the CID? Right now I have no idea what this CID even looks like. So confused, and asking for help.
Thanks a lot and I would really appreciate your suggestions!

OK, it worked: just replace the country code (located in 0x1C0 using HexEditor) in the ROM that you want to install with the country code of your original ROM.
Great thanks go to: pavlovmax1983 from ht tp : // 4pda . ru/ forum / inde x . ph p ? showtopic = 174362 & st = 60
Mine was originally SEA (I guess South East Asia): HTC__044
And in Russian ROM is was: HTC__A07
That's it! If anybody needs either Russian or SEA ROMs I can upload by request. (ver. 1.0.405.95739)
