Rogers Name Display Work Around

Hi all after testing for about a day i have found a way to get rogers name display to work on the tilt 2. Just had done a lot a searching and combined 2 cabs to get this working.
I have tested this only on the Energy rom and nothing else.
1st you need to install: rilphone for rogers CNAP.cab
then soft reset
2nd you need to install: NRGZ28 Tachi Dialer Disabler.cab
Yes i know you are all saying disabler for tachi but so far this is the only way it will work until someone can implement the settings for stock wm dialer to tachi.
Please Stick this

I tried it on my tilt2 with the cell pro rom it is making my phone run hot and draining the battery fast 10% in about 10 minutes. But it is also making my phone run alot smoother. Uninstalled with no luck still running hot and draining the battery fast. also "attention required" message flashes when I reboot. Time for a hard reset.

yes i agree i dont think that would be a problem with the rilphone.dll sounds like the phone is using either the data or phone itself all the time i would say try a hard reset and try this again. if it does the same thing again try a different rom. Im using energy rom i have always had good luck with his roms.

Thank you for those great cabs. Will be going back to canada in 2 weeks and will give it a try and report back.
I am using Mighty Mike's rom, do you think it will work?
regular phones with rogers/Fido don't need data. Using this cab, will I have to use data?

pretty sure it will work with any rom just try the rilphone.dll first and if it still don't work then install tachi dis-abler and should work. This will only work on GSM models not cdma/gsm so make sure yours is just gsm. And as for data the answer is no it doesn't use any data at all just like a regular rogers/Fido phone.

Thanks Hiwired.
Is there a way to make it work on CDMA
I linked this thread on ppcgeeks, maybe someone could collaborate with your work to see if they can make it work for us WCDMA users. I hope you don't mind.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=1851465#post1851465

nope i dont mind at all. and as it sits so far right now it will only work on gsm rogers. if you are looking for cdma then right now might look at program called truecallerid but you have to have 3g on in order for you to see it when the call comes in. it does use data as well to. im switchin carriers this week goin to bell so im going to try to mess with this on thier cdma/gsm 3g network

Thought WTH, let me try it on my phone CDMA. didn't work
I wish there's a work around for CDMA because I am using it on FIDO

ya as it sits right now bell only has caller number display BUT since they went with the 3g gsm network we might see something come out soon for it they have the proper network now just need the coding

A little off topic hiwiredjuice , but what radio are you using with this fix and the energy rom? I'm on the rogers network and I want to find an optimal radio to use. I am using Energy Rom, and i plan on using this fix aswell.

Roms with GSM/World Functionality working

With the new roms coming out I wanted to see if people have been able to test the gsm/world band functions. I'll be leaving the country in august and want to know if i will have to flash back to stock or if roms are working with gsm/world bands reliably now.

RMK's ROM seems to be working fine for me here in Afghanistan. I successfully called myself from my Nexus S with my AWCC card in, but for some reason calling VM failed. I think that may have been the roaming network though. I will try again today.

Moved to proper forum.

It seems that any of the carrier based MOD's work, but the question is does CM7 work? I loved CM7 but went back to the rooted GB RUU to ensure GSM functionality. I am not confident with CM7 nor do I know how to input APN's to get GSM functionality.

APNs are only for GSM Data - calls and text should work without it.
In the sense rom APNS can be accessed by first going to settings-call and making sure you have gsm/umts enabled.
Then settings - wireless and networks - mobile networks - GSM/UMTS options
I assume it's similar in CM7 but I heard only the nightlies have GSM support and haven't heard anything about how well it works.
I should probably just nandroid and try one today - can't decide between Sense and AOSP anyway

Thanks for the instructions. Where do you get the APN at? I need GSM data as well as calls, etc.

i use that RMK ginger ROM & my phone is unlocked. I have a Telefonica SIM card and found that it works just fine down in Mexico when making calls. There's no data associated with the SIM though so haven't tried that out.

I am running the same one, but I love CM7. I am awaiting a full understanding of GSM functionality and how to use it in CM7.

i tried CM7 nightly 31 and 32 and both doesn't have GSM working out of the box, but the rom itself was pretty impressive.
i opted for the "Incredible 2 Gingerbread Sense/less INCREDIBLY Debloated 8/6/11" by truelefty and chose the Senseless rom. GSM works out of the box, you just need to change out of global mode and instead into GSM ONLY (and UMTS if you have it in your area).
here's the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169991
also, i am using mobifone in Vietnam

i also read that miui can support gsm as well, so i'll try that later this evening. if someone has beat me to the punch, pls lmk

OMFGB and MIUI support GSM.
I think you might have to enter some apns and stuff manually buy that's just cause world mode is a recent feature. I tried MIUI last week and couldn't get it to work. I don't have a sim so I can't try this week.
OMFGB is sick... it is my favorite rom. Of course, if I could change the color of my battery line in MIUI... that would be my number 1.

thanks for the input. i didn't have any free time to try it out last night, but i did download the nightlies for miui and OMFGB and will be trying them out soon

Most of the roms listed as having gsm work with phone/sms but not data. I have tried most of them at one point or the other and I can only get data reliably with the china ota. I really was hoping to use the virtousy rom but it is cdma only

After messing with some of the apn settings I found I have been skipping an important step. I was selecting none instead of chap or pap. Once I selected that I got data.

I can and do use mms all the time. I am on softbank and I had to manually enter in the correct apn settings for the carrier and sim card being used.
I have been busy so I have not been able to test any new roms knowing the correct apn security settings. Maybe later today I can play with the released roms to compile a list of what works.

HTC Incredible 2 - CyanogenMod 7 ''No GSM Conectivity''!!!

First of all, I apologyze for my english, just want you to sit and read carefully..
I'm from Panama, and I just bought a HTC Incredible 2 from Verizon Wireless on eBay, it came unlocked for any gsm network.
I used it for a couple month on Movistar with a GSM chip, it wasn't able to conect on 3G network, only 2g but it's enough for me, beacuse I use WiFi conection everyday.
Today I decided to install a custom rom, I had some trouble installing the roms because I don't know much about that, It is already rooted by revolution tools
I tried miui once and cyanogenmod 7 Nightly, Kernel v2.6.35.14 its the current rom I'm using, but the phone it's unable to conecto or even find a GSM network!!!
It's on Global Mode (that's the option I always used before) and Data capability On, now I can't do anything without network!
I have typed *#*#4636#*#* and did the steps I found on another thread and nothing worked!
I really need your help! I read something about the 'RADIO', I'm not sure about that.

You need to find the apn settings for your provider and enter it in at your mobile settings. Not sure who your provider is so i dont know your apn settings, try google.

jics91, some ROM's don't support both gsm and cdma which is what Verizon wireless uses. One ROM that supports gsm and cdma is SkyRaider Zeus 1.3. You may want to give that a shot. Google it. It's a popular ROM that is very stable and it includes GSM.
You should be setting GSM / UMTS Mode in your settings. If you are able to make calls and just can't get data then you need to set your APN. Are you using Movistar? If so, Movistar uses the following information.
APN: internet.movistar.pa
Username: movistarpa
Password:moveistarpa
APN Type: default
The rest of the options leave default.

Cool. I am glad you got it to work. I am replying to you using movistar. Just landed in David, Chiriqui yesterday. Radios and kernels are for better battery life and signal. You probably don't need a better radio. But you should try a different kernel than the stock one. You will get better battery life and can have more control over it. But be careful, some kernels don't work well with certain roms. So do some research before loading it.

[Q] root / flash rom w/o Sprint service plan?

I've recently switched from Sprint to AT&T due to extremely poor cell / data coverage at my home. Now I would like to use my HTC Evo 4G for app development and for offline GPS navigation (it has much better GPS reception than my new Samsung Galaxy S III). I've searched this forum, and the other forums as well, using these search terms:
flash rom update without mobile data usage​flash rom without mobile carrier plan​flash rom without mobile data connection​use phone as tablet without mobile data​but have not found any relevant posts for my questions. I've also reviewed several of the guides regarding rooting and flashing new ROMs on the EVO 4G, but they all seem to assume that you have a service plan and want a data connection to the mobile carrier. I understand that is a normal thing and that my scenario is the exception, so that's probably why my searches have come up empty. I'm simply wondering:
1) Can I root and/or flash a new ROM onto my Sprint EVO 4G now that I no longer have a service contract with Sprint?​I don't want the phone to connect to the cell tower for phone or data service, which I assume would incur charges, during or after the procedure.​2) Is it feasible to do ROM modifications or Android application development on a device for which I do not have a service contract?​Of course I understand that features involving the mobile carrier would be off limits.​

All of this can be done without service. It just requires you know what you are doing. Its simple enough to root, you need to know what hboot version you have so you can follow the according procedure.

Its like this, on your laptop you can make yourself an Admin without having Wifi
Same with rooting and your phone

Thanks. I guess I was just being a bit paranoid that I'd get some fat charge from Sprint for the phone connecting to the cell towers during some of the reflash and boot processes before I could turn off the cellular radio (airplane mode). Not sure why I was worried, considering that the poor service at my home is the reason I switched carriers anyway. :laugh:
I now have an unlocked and rooted EVO 4G. Next step is to try out a JB ROM ...

Hi.An absolute noob to Evo rooting but not to rooting itself. I got a Evo 4g that I just want to use as an ultimate MP4 player for my kid. It's Baseband is 2.15.00.12.19 and is running 2.3.5. What root method works and has files that can be downloaded because I've looked at a bunch that seem obsolete now. Thanks

It's not the baseband version that matters when you're trying to figure out which method to use for rooting. It's the HBOOT version you need to check. The first step is to unlock the bootloader. If you have HBOOT 2.18.0001 like I had, you first need to got to HTCDev.com, create an account, and use the unlock utility on that site. Just follow the directions there. You'll need to enter a number located on the back of your phone underneath the battery, then they'll send a unique binary to the email address you used while registering, which you can then use to unlock your bootloader.
If you have an earlier version of HBOOT, there are other methods to unlock the bootloader. A little more searching in the EVO 4G forums on this site will get you better instructions than I can give.
Anyway, there are several more steps to do after your bootloader is unlocked before the phone is actually rooted. Since you've done this before, you're probably familiar with the rest of the procedure.
Hope that gets you started in the right direction.

By the way, I took the plunge and am now running a Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM called Dirty Unicorns V1.0 from Mazda, part of Team D.I.R.T.
Working fine so far, but I'm not utilizing the cellular radio at all, just WiFi and GPS at this point.

Oh, thanks. But I didn't mean to imply that the cellular radio was an issue. I'm not using it because I don't want to - I no longer have a service plan with Sprint - so I intentionally have the cellular radio disabled.

[Q] Help with Verizon SCH-I535 Phone to use on T-mobile

Hey everyone and thanks for taking the time to read this,
So the story goes as so: After doing some research couple months ago about the capability of the Verizon Galaxy S3 to work on T-mobile, i purchased it, and got it to successfully work on T-mobile(texts, calls, wi-fi). The problem is, i just recently upgraded to include a data plan, and i cannot access the internet, despite taking my phone to my cell phone dealer and contacting T-mobile.T-mobile even sent me a guide to do a mastery reset to factory in hopes to solve this problem, only to tell me afterwards that the phone version SCH-I535 is a "verizon locked-software" and i won't be able to set up an APN to work on the T-mobile network. This was all due to the fact that i was not able to set up a APN for T-mobile, and every time i tried to access it through setting, it brought me to a blank black page with the only option of "Reset to Default". After reading other forums and talking with some people, many have suggested i take this issue to XDA to find a solution.
So, here i am.....Does anyone know if it is possible for me to break/root/ or whatever it is called so i can successfully access the t-mobile network on my phone? Preferably an easier guide since i am sort of a newbie at this sort of stuff.
Thanks again for reading.

Before your Contract change, you were able to receive and make calls successfully with T-Mo Sim right ? Even now you can make calls too correct ? The reason I am asking this is to be able to check if you are really unlocked off of VZW. If you are not unlocked, then that would be the first step.
You are right, the APNs do drive Data Connection. If the stock firmware does not allow you to change APNs then you will have to root. Please post a screen of your Settings > About phone that shows your Rom Version, Baseband and Kernel.

Hey Perseus, thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. I bought the phone in the summer off someone who had verizon. I have always had T-mobile, and considering this phone is GSM, i decided to buy it because it would probably work for T-mobile. I had the phone unlocked, and i am currently using it to make calls, texts, and even use wi-fi with no problem. The only problem at this time is that i recently added a data plan which i cannot currently use. Here is a screen shot of what you have requested.
Thanks again

First try
Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Preferred Network Type.See what it is set to. Change it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA if needed. See the other option System Select as well.
Also separately try the following.
Hit ##DATA# in the Dialer. In the subsequent Menu choose EDIT > OTHERS > LTE APN
If all fails, please Root the phone and then try. The way you go about is
1. Flash a Custom Recovery via Odin. Make sure the version of Custom recovery is for your model D2VZW not D2TMO.
2. Flash a SuperSU zip file via Recovery and then hit fix permissions in the recovery.
Try the APN Settings after that. IF you can actually access them, then set them according to this link.
If all the above fails, I'd suggest a custom Rom for d2VZW.

Ok, so i tried to changed it to LTE and i got no service at all, so i switched it back to Global. I also tried the dialer thing several times, and got the " connection problem or invalid MMI code"
So i guess i am going to have to root the phone? Does anyone know a good video tutorial or written tutorial on how to safely do this? Also, what exactly is rooting?

You have to enable the mmi codes to use them. Anyway as stated above your reply you will never get 3g or 4g just edge (seen it personally) which is pretty darn slow.. Not worth it if you ask me and be paying for data.. If you still want to root it and keep trying to add sons check the Verizon forums.. They could probably help you a lot more than on this side of the forums

Guys, he is not getting ANY data signal at all. His problem isn't getting the specific icon but being not able to change APNs.
@HackThisThing, you are better off following up on Verizon Device forum. That forum does have a video tutorial for Rooting. Here's forum link.
I don't think you will be able to change APNs without rooting. I checked with a buddy of mine who has the same device as you.
Here's a good answer to What is Rooting ?

Even if you CAN fix it, why bother if you can only get 2G? I'd sell it or trade it for a phone that's more compatible with T-Mobile 's network instead of paying for data and only getting dial-up speeds. I get that solving problems is fun, but OP do you want to live with only 2G?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

I don't agree with that assessment. Just like the T999L phone, this device will work on LTE Bands just fine. OP just needs to wait for LTE to be rolled out in their area. There's a coverage map and roll out schedule on T-Mo website and the T-Mo News blog.

It's worth a look, but could still leave them with patchy coverage. If it's going to be a while, why wait when it's not hard to just trade the phone? I guess I don't see a reason why hold out on getting a Verizon phone to work when you could just get one that works now with little to no monetary loss. It's just a Verizon S3, not really something worth "waiting" for when they could get the same thing but more functional on their network of choice.
They made an honest mistake and waiting might give them "good enough" service - but other than that they're stuck with dial up speed only and risk bricking a phone they could just trade or sell now.
Maybe I'm just impatient and risk averse.
