[A] change operater on dx ( India ) - Droid X General

ok
so i managed to get my hands on a tata network prl
i used qpts and cdma workshop to upload the prl and configure the dx to tata as the home network
wasn't that hard and the

did point me in the right direction
so with a little help from different webpages different guides i managed the configuration
after that i went to the tata service center
they after a little convincing agreed to do an ESN swap from
they activate a virtual sim and then swap the ESN to the DX
the dx gets activated within a day
then you manually enter the mdn ( the mobile number without any prefix)
the min ( provided to you by the service provider in this case tata)
and an A-Key ( provided to you by the service provider again tata)
once entered and the ESN swap has been doen the prl gets updated automatically over the air and you do not face any problems in the future
the settings get transfered immediately
i am yet to try all the features but plan on starting soon
hope all the people who have DX and need to change carriers manage their way
the hard part is in obtaining the prl after that its all simple
for people with a DX in india you can get the tata prl from

OLD
[I ordered an droid x from usa
i got it today and to my dissapointment it runs only on cdma that to with out the uim/sim
so now i need a way to configure my dx to connect to a reliance or tata network and register with them
i own a nexus one and love hacking modding it and will flash the dx using the noob guide of dx but after that how do i configure it to register with the cdma networks over here ... Thank you in advance for your help]

I don't know if I got the question correct, but I think you are asking how you can make the Droid X use a SIM card instead of CDMA? If so I believe this is impossible. Its more than just software it also involves alot of hardware that would have to be made especially for a SIM card.

not really I know that the DX ordered is locked to the verizon network.... Now the DX can't be changed from a no sim based cdma to a sim based GPRS/3.5g network carrier obviously ... so i need some one to help me configure the dx to reliance or tata network in india ... they both are cdma how ever i need a guide to the settings ... the prl min esn mdn these terms i have no clue what they are and what values should be entered when i m changing the carrier from verizon to reliance or tata
there are guides which give all details for the cricket network but that doesn t really solve my problem

Go to your carrier and ask them to add your device to your account. That is the simplest way to go about it.

after Sim Unlock Question

ok....i already sim unlocked and thought i could use my phone with any sim card

and is their a flash software to possibly get other services (noticed on some of the flashes on this site i can get european networks if i had a sim with them....can it be set for boost,sprint,verizon etc?
The only major sim card providers in the states that will work on a wing, would be
T-Mobile
AT&T
Corr Wireless
or any other GSM Providers
The one's that won't work are
Verizon Wireless
Sprint
Boost Mobile
Alltel
or any other CDMA,iDEN Providers

Your next step should be load a PRL for your area, I'm not sure how Hutch does their PRL's there will be other things you will need such as your MCC, MIN/MSID, SID, MNC, NID, EVRC SETTING, IF THEY USE AN A KEY.
I know nothing about Hutch but most of these setting you may be able to find on your old phone.

Roaming Symbol Problem

I just recently bought a Rogers HTC Magic, rooted the phone, and unlocked it. Everything seems to work completely fine. At the moment however, I seem to be having an issue with a Bell Mobility sim card. Bell's HSPA sim works fine, and I seem to be able to use voice and data ok, but the problem lies in that their seems to be a roaming symbol ("R") on my reception bar. Im using the phone in my local calling area which is somewhat misleading to me.
Im using MyHero 2.0.5 ROM at the moment. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks in advance!
Agreed
I'm doing the same thing. I'm running cyanogens roms and I get the same thing. Best I can tell is that this is normal on the magic. Just be careful if you live near the border like I do.
I figured this was normal too. I guess i'll try other SIM cards to see what they say as well, thanks!
Ya I also have this phone running on Bell, wish I could get rid of the roaming. It also asks if I want to connect once in a while too.
Shouldn't the romaing be dictated by the sim? I have a bell sim, on the bell network, why do I get the roaming icon? is there a way to change the phone so it doesn't think it's a rogers and not roaming or something?
Are you sure you have the Bell APN Settings and not the Rogers Settings in the phone?
Settings -> Wireless Control -> Mobile Network Settings -> Access Point Names
If it says Rogers you're Roaming on the Rogers Network.
I put in the bell APN. I don't think we can even roam on rogers network, wouldn't work. Either way, it's the Bell APN.
I don't have a clue as to the differences between Bell and Rogers sims... but I can tell you that my HTC Magic, on Rogers, with a Rogers sim (duh), running Amon_RA's most excellent RAv1.6.2H only shows roaming when actually roaming.
I was in the US yesterday and watched it flip from a Rogers tower to ATT. I was watching to make sure it was not using any data when roaming on a US network. The symbol, lockscreen info and the carrier listed in the status pulldown all were updated correctly.
It might have something to do with the ROM you are running. However I bet that given the phone came from Rogers, it has some carrier info buried somewhere that it is comparing to the carrier you are on (Bell) and triggering the roaming status.
If you disable data when roaming in the settings menu, what does it do? If it disables data, then the phone thinks it is roaming, which would support my carrier data mixup theory.
I will try a different rom on the phone. Unless someone knows for sure what I can do to fix this.
If you disable roaming there is no data, because once in a while it prompts to connect, if you say no, you get nothing. Sometimes my wife must accidentally hit no (its her phone, she probably says no cause shes not sure what it does). I just want to make it so she does not get the prompt ever (settings are all set).
I have a rogers HTC Magic (unlocked) I'm using a fido sim, it thinks its roaming as-well but I have only fido apn settings. It only roams with certain roms and radio's. I can use alot of roms eg. cyanogen,Hero HOFO 308,GYD 2.1.1 without roaming but when I update radio and flash cursorsense roms it thinks it is roaming. I have to enable data roaming in order to get a 3G signal. as a fido user I dial *#123# to see if I'm in my local zone zone. A fido tech rep told me that most unlocked phones indicate roaming because of the phones hardware programing. The hard programing of the phones checks the sim and sees that it is using a diff sim card and starts indicating roaming when in fact you are not. A rogers salesman also told me the same thing. He said as long as your carrier is displayed on your phone homescreen then you are good.
I have the AT&T Tilt, not running the AT&T ROM. I've tested a few different SIM cards on my phone and here's what I've found:
Rogers: Roaming works correctly. In Canada, no roaming indicator, in the USA, roaming is indicated correctly.
Telus & Bell (HSPA): Roaming indicator always on.
I've heard that this may be due to the SIM card listing more than one Mobile Network Code: 302361, 302653, 302657 (original Telus CDMA networks, not compatible with the phone or any kind of SIM-based network so it's uncertain why it would be on the SIM card), PLUS the HSPA network code 302880. It's possible that the phone is not reading that far into the list on the SIM and therefore does not know that 302880 is a home network.
Tilt 2 Roaming Triangle and telus
I'm on Telus and have a Tilt2. The original ROM that came with the unit didn't show the roaming triangle. I have attached some screen captures of the ROM. I've attached a copy of the registry (Remove the .cab it was the only way I could get it to upload).
I'm now running Jackos rom and it does show the roaming triangle.
Hopefully somebody can find where the settings are located and hopefully it's contained in the registry.
Have the same problem on the Stocks ROGERS 1.5 Rom. Sales associate said you should not get roaming charges since you aren't actually roaming and if you do, just contact your phone provider.
rogers htc dream unlocked now on roaming?

If you aren't outside of Canada and you get the roaming symbol; they can not charge you roaming fees.
Roger and Telus PLMN Compared
I'm not sure if this will help,
I have attached a picture of the PLMN from a Rogers sim and a Telus sim
Maybe someone knows how to adjust the information on these lists.

The phone companies in Canada must be less uptight about unlocked/rooted phones
If you asked those questions to a t-mobile or at&t rep, they would straight up refuse to talk to you
American cell phone companies are still stuck in the "Ma Bell" mentality, where everything that touches their network must be under their control
anyone figure out a fix? I'm having these roaming issues as well on the bell network with unlocked at&t phone.
I have Same probleme Here, Bell on a AT&T Tilt 2 phone, Always get Roaming message.
any registry edit or mod available to make it work without these message ?
thks

I searched around to a fairly moderate extent and I have found many people with the same problem, yet I can't find any resolution to this issue.
I'm not even sure where the issue lays. Is it with the hardware/firmware? SIM card? Windows Mobile? Is it the rilphone.dll? or maybe some registry entry. Maybe it's on the Bell network side?
Someone told me they put a Rogers SIM into their Fuze and it didn't show up as roaming, yet when they put a Bell SIM in, it's back to roaming. So what's the difference between Bell and Rogers?
Here's a question for anyone who has this problem, when you boot android does it still show as roaming?

How to flash HD2 to Cricket?

I tried searching everywhere and still no answers.
Does anyone know if it is possible to flash the Htc Hd2 to cricket or metropcs.
they are network providers, so i assume you mean unlock the phone to use them?
no flashing will not do that. you would need the network unlock code, however isn't metre cdma? if it then the hd2 cannot work on it.
Yes as long as the network uses GSM (sim cards )
So theres no way htc hd2 can be turned into cdma and be flashed to metro or cricket?
you cannot flash a phone to unlock it. as stated above you need the unlock code, you can get this from your network provider for approximately £15 just tell them you are leaving the country for a holiday and want to change your sim card to a local network sim card in the other country (to get a better rate). If you would prefer you can easily unlock your phone on the internet, again for aground £15-£20, just search on Google.
as for your other question about cdma im not to sure.
re: cdma i'm only 95% sure but i think you're out of luck, i think its a whole different hardware.
