Just got a Xperia Play CDMA, flashed GSM baseband on it on accident and i dont have a backup to go to, went to cellcom with a bogus story, saying a friend borrowed the phone and tried updating it to 2.3.4 when in reality i messed it up, it wasnt rooted or anything when i took it in so i think im in the clear, but incase they cant fix it and give it back to me i would like someone to link me to a generic CDMA baseband, besides it would be great to have for future issues. Cellcom is out of wisconsin. also any help getting ICS on it would be greatful, just PM me if you can.
Maybe this will help. PaxChristos made some CDMA ICS roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640066, and CM9 is also compatible with CDMA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447542
i tried the 2.3.3 verizion FTF but it still wouldnt let me activate my phone. tried the ICS roms too but as i dont have an unlocked bootloader (yet) i cant really do it, was kinda hoping to find a free way but it looks like imma have to pay.

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. ;-)
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 recently flashed my samsung epic 4g to metro pcs and everything works except for mms (even the internet). the phone is also rooted but i am afraid to put a rom on it because i heard that there is a chance it could lose its flash. i am running android 2.3.5 and gingerbread.ei22. is there a metro pcs friendly rom out there?? thanks
From what I have heard, flashing another rom causes the phone to lose its MetroPCS flash. I hope someone can prove me wrong as I am trying to flash my Epic over to MetroPCS as well.
Also, out of curiosty, did you use this guide --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192128 to flash it over to MetroPCS?
yes
that is the guide i used, but you will still need to add your esn to metropcs's inventory. how? idk. but i ended up paying to get it flashed. they should knock a few bucks off since you did most of it. oh and if you follow the guide correctly and get it flashed by a store you shouldnt pay for internet just get regular talk and text because when i got mine flashed thats what they did and i still got internet for free. mms doesnt work though. hope i helped
edit: i also heard you can make a backup, flash the rom and if you dont have service restore and never do it again but im to afraid to risk losing it. if you try it (i dont recommend it) and it works please send a link to the rom. Thanks
As the title says I currently don't have 4g after flashing a fresh rom, I haven't had it for a few months now running on TrueAncestor and I figured if I start fresh it might work. I have the APN set up properly and get edge or w/e that E with 2 arrows is called, but I can't get H+. I have no idea what to do, any advice would be appreciated. Also I've tried both .62 and .58 baseband and couldn't get 4g on stock or custom ROM. I can't post APN settings cuz apparently they're considered outside links, but I'm pretty much 99% positive they're correct I've triple checked with APNs from google. I'm on AT&T.
I couldn't help but notice that my sad thread seems to have been completely overlooked... I CAN'T post in development cuz I don't have 10 posts or anything.. this is my only option. So I'm bumping my forum (sorry if its not allowed) I really need my 4g working.
Tried changimg it from cdma to gsm or vice versa? I know one of those brings out the h and the other the e. At least for me on nxt 1.2 it does
Xperia Play 2.3.7 NXT

Just flash the stock ftf using flashtool..And I don't mean just flashing the baseband, I mean the whole ftf
Ive tried that gsm/cdma swap ill tey flashing back to stock. I know there was a forum with links for all the ftfs ill have to find it.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Just flash multiple different versions of the .ftf from the forum and nothing works, I get E but no H... I'm really lost I dunno what to try next.
I am very new to this, long story short, I have been messing around with different roms trying to get one to actually work.
CM11 wasnt working, was installed but got not service so i tried flashing a new modem that said was compatible for telus from this website.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898)
SO i decided to try bliss stalk after the new modem install it didnt work so i thought maybe something was up with cm11 and i just coudlnt figure it out. Now after going to bliss stalk and loading it up, everything works but i still have no service and cant make a call.... any suggestions??
I747M - on Telus, Canadian phone. Please help I can use wifi and do stuff on the phone, just cant make a call.... have not tried flashing back to stock and i dont know what the stock modem is or where to find it.....
I see something about a bootloader and updating it, but im a little scared and dont wanna mess it up more than it already is.... how do i find what bootloader i have and what should i update it with...?
What bootloader is now on your phone? This is important to know before flashing anything else. Flashing certain modems onto certain bootloaders may hard brick your phone.
Sounds like you are not getting service because your modem, bootloader, and ROM combination are not compatible.
also APNs (?) or would that be with the rom?
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
FIXED!
Updated modem and bootloader via odin from sammobile.
wont let me attach link as im too new.
Now to try and re-flash bliss!
