I have a MTS 3g running CM 7.10. I have loved this phone except for the camera. I have the fuzziness that everyone else seems to have. I get to upgrade in April and I have 2 questions:
1. Before I upgrade I want to get a replacement phone for this one because of the camera. They keep telling me there is an app, which I can't find on the Market they need me to download. Will that app let them know I'm rooted and running CM7, if so, I need to flash the original ROM. Any tricks to that thru Rom Manager, do I just put the stock rom in the update folder and let 'er go like when I boot into CM update recovery? I've got the most recent radio. If this is posted somewhere I missed it.
2. When I upgrade in April, I've been considering a MTS 4g or a HTC Slide which TMO told me was replacing MTS with them. Suggestions? I saw one post where someone would never get another slide keyboard phone, that hasn't been a problem for me, but what kind of new phones are others who have had MTS 3g been looking at, upgraded to and love? Thanks for the help and suggestions!

I have recently updated to the Alltel GPS Rev A Rom. I have not been able to get the GPS working on my phone (Bell Canada Network). I am going to keep trying but I am wondering if I were to go back to my ROM that I downloaded specifically for Bell, how would I do that? I have been told it is difficult to Flash back to a previous ROM. I am also a little nervous, when I connect to the internet on my phone instead of connecting through the BEll network. It says it is connecting to the Alltel network. Will this affect my billing? Maybve I should flash back my original ROM and wait for a Bell official release. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
It is only a name on the connection. You are still connected to bell.
It takes a few minutes to get a lock....it is not uncommon to wait 2-5 minutes.
For myself, I use the 3.35 radio and I get my connection within 2 minutes most of the time with google map and igo

If you're getting paranoid seeing the AllTel Logo, just flash it to JD's 6.1 ROM and that will solve your problem. When it comes to the GPS, just make sure you followed all the instructions right for the GPS settings and for sure that will fix it. Just add a little patience with it.
With my Bell Touch everything is running smooth and awesome! its really worth doing the ROM upgrade!

Thanx for the advice, I actually ended up finding a ROM made for Bell at PPCgeeks (I don't remember the link). works like a dream. And again you were right, it was just a matter of being patient. I let it sit for a few minutes and it started to pick up my location. Thanx for you help guys!!
Questions from a Newbie!
This is the first thread I have found that pertains to The Bell Network here in Canada. I have the HTC Touch and from what I have been reading that it IS possible to get the GPS feature activated in the Touch. My concern is I dont want to pooch my phone as I dont have a regular home phone...the touch is all I have. I want to unlock this feature but I need someone to walk me through the steps. It would be nice to also have someone post likes to the files that I will need to unlock the GPS on my Bell HTC Touch.
I hope that someone will respond and take the time to explain this to me...thanks in advance
Help Please
I think I may have pooched my Bell HTC Touch. I updated the ROM....however it was a Sprint ROM v 3.03.651.2 and the Radio is 3.42.30. It works perfectly as a cell phone but I can not connect to the internet to surf. When I try using INternet Explorer it says ...connecting to Sprint PCS....and it does not work, I tried loading the correct ROM for Bell ( v. 1.19.666.1) ....but it will not let me do it.
Can anyone tell me how to fix my phone?!! ARGH!!!!
Ok, so let me start off by saying that I am a NOOB and I apologize for that. I have a Motorola Atrix 4G on the Bell network in Canada. A while back I got the bright idea to try rooting and installing custom rom but unfortunately bricked my phone. Since then, I've got working again by flashing a different SBF onto it. I do realize that there is no way for me to get OTA updates now and the Gingerbread release just happened in Canada. Is there any other way for me to get gingerbread on my phone? All help is appreciated, thanks.
Oh ya and I've tried searching what seems like the entire internet to find something that can help me out. Just in case someone thinks I haven't been doing my part. ;-)
Mu Verizon contract is up on the 28th and I'm going to flash and switch to PagePlus.
My question is this; After the flash, can I install CM7 or CM9? I was told by a flasher that this was not possible.
Hi, I'm a Page Plus customer, dinc user, and a recovering ROM flashing addict.
First off, what are you 'flashing' to switch to Page Plus? You just need to dial *22890 to program it, after the ESN is activated on Page Plus.
And really, you can flash whatever ROM you want. If it works on Verizon, it'll work on Page Plus. Of course the usual rules about being rooted, etc. apply... I've used MIUI gb, MIUI ics, AOKP ics, Evervolv ics, and am currently running Ice Cream Senseless because I got tired of the camera issues on the ics roms.
The only thing you need to remember is that you need to use Page Plus's codes when doing OTA programming and PRL updates. It's *22890 to program/activate the phone on Page Plus, and *22891 to update the PRL.
Happy flashing!
Many thanks
Thank you.!!!
Phone flashing
I know this is really late but hopefully it will help others.
When you get your phone flashed you will more then likely have to be on a stock rom. This is from experience as I am a Page Plus dealer. Many roms do not support either the codes, or the drivers to allow your phones modem to connect with a pc to allow flashing.
Once your flashed to the carrier, you can use whatever rom you want. Keep in mind though that depending on what rom you use, they may access the raidos diffrently and your 3g data may or may not work. You may have to use a stock rom of try several roms before you find a reliable one.
Just a heads up in case someone didnt know, before you switch carriers and get all pissed with support.....aka someone like me.
If I am wrong about this please correct me and teach me a new way because I would really like to be able to flash more cm9 phones with out reverting them to stock first. ( just to save time. ) So far the major culprit are motorola phones.

Well that should have been expected!
Hey guys. I've been doing a bit of searching and have only been confused! I have an Evo4G from Sprint and I want to flash it over to be used on either Alltel or Cricket.
I say Alltel or Cricket, because from what i've been reading, there are alot of problems switching these phones to alltel..So i'm looking for suggestions from you guys as far as which to flash. Either will be fine, I just want whichever will work best.
Also, I have found a lot of information about PRL's..But i'm still confused as how to flash to one of these services. The phone is already rooted and running ICS (4.0.3)
So please guys, any information will be greatly appreciated! I'm doing this for a friend and was suppose to have it done by tomorrow, but i've been having so much trouble. I've never done anything like this on a CDMA network. I can normally unlock a phone and pop a sim card into it. I know from reading that I will have to flash some alltel files to it..I'm just having issues finding the correct files and a working guide.
Oh and in case location matters, (if i'm not mistaken other carriers own alltel in certain areas,) i'm in Western North Carolina
Here is the guide I use. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934417
You will use qspt to flash the prl to your phone. You will need to be on a Sense 1.0 rom, or a Sense rom that has ##codes working.
As for MMS, I have never been able to get it to work, with new apns, gosms or any other way that's on the net. However I did find a solution that costs $5, and it works. Lemme see if I can find it again.
Thanks. I'm going to try it now.
Interesting........I'll have to check that guide out

check your pm's
It says to use the Jiminy rom but when I go to the page to download it, it says it's obsolete all over the page...Should I go ahead and use it? Or is there another one that will work?

you can use pretty much any modern Sense rom. Sense 3.0 and below seem to be best with getting MMS to work. Haven't made it work with Sense 3.5+ or any AOSP roms yet.
Ok so I recently moved across the country and my pre-paid cell service I was using before is not supported in this state. I have been to every pre-paid provider in town and they are shocked they cannot seem to get my phone on their prepaid networks. I am using the toro CDMA Verizon branded GN. Everyone seems to agree they cannot activate my phone because I am running Cyanogenmod 11 and if I would just go back to Stock ROM I would be fine. Even people on the cyanogen mod forums.
The problem is I cannot seem to get this phone flashed back. I tried all 3 of the galaxy nexus verizon CDMA roms at this link:
EDIT: it won't let me post links because I am new. I was linking to the google galaxy nexus roms page.
Odin crashes whenever I try and flash. I spent 4 hours yesterday googling solutions to Odin crashing and none of them work for me.
My next thought was using Clockwork to reflash my phone to stock........................but I cannot find any roms flashable by clockwork.
Can anyone offer a link or advice? I NEED a damn phone here. I gave my self a cutoff limit of tonight. If I can't get this phone back to stock I am just going to buy a new phone tomorrow.
Thanks.
Well.. erm.. you've probably bought a new phone now! But anyway, Google "Nexus Root Toolkit". I have used this many times to return to Stock Rom.
