Changing Carrier Banner - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to do this? I know you can edit the eri.xml on CDMA phones but how could be accomplish this on your GSM Tmo Mytouch 4Gs?

really? noone?

I've tried numerous times. Could never seem to get it to work. Like you said, its easy on cdma phones, but for some reason no one can figure out what file to modify for gsm phones.

Forum Description

Can someone change the description of this forum from
"Also known as: Sprint Mogul (PPC-6800)"
to
"Also known as: Sprint Mogul (PPC-6800), Verizon XV6800"
It was confusing and worrisome when I first got here and started looking at ROMs and Kitchens because I don't have a Mogul, I have a XV6800.
It might clear some things up for new arrivals...
Don't discriminate then...
What about people on other carriers? Bell PPC6800, TelUs P4000 I think it's called, etc...
If you're gonna change it, change it right the first time
Agreed! I didn't know about the Bell one and I wasn't convinced that the 4000 was the 6800, but if that's accurate, by all means include them.
Also US Cellular PPC6800 (Ours is from StarCom or whatever their OEM name is)
BTC
Maybe they could make it
Also Known as: Mogul, PPC6800, XV6800, P4000
(BTW Scrawny I hope you don't mind that I used your sig as a template, please and thank you!)

Tethering Infomation?

Hey folks, I have read and see various posts and articles on tethering seen people mention that the data usage is hidden when you run one of the custom roms such as DCD's. I was just curious how exactly this works? and how safe is it? This is not really something I plan to do but more of possibility for the future if something is workable of course. I am currently with TELUS as my provider using the HTC p4000. (6800 with a stupid telus name)

try this program...I'm with Telus also and have tethered my desktop when Shaw goes on a fritz. You install on both phone and comp/laptop. Hope this helps you.

Cheers, I will give that a try when I get home on a laptop!

Alltel Treo Pro on Page Plus

A friend on mine has an Alltel Palm Treo Pro that she would like to activate on Page Plus. Page Plus generally allows most CDMA phones that are Verizon compatible. I found instructions on how to do this on HowardForums, but the instructions require CDMA workshop which is really expensive.
Will any of the custom ROMs listed here accomplish something similar? I think she would be willing to install a custom ROM if it would allow her to activate on Page Plus.
Is there any (legal) way to make the edits that you would make with CDMA workshop without CDMA workshop? Some other software perhaps?
Am I missing anything? Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help.

That was my post over at Ho-Fo as well as at CDMAGurus.com. I don't think anyone every Hard SPLed this thing so I don't think there are any custom roms available for this phone. I could be wrong and if I am, someone please correct me.
While I don't have any links or instructions, this can be accomplished via QXDM. It is far more powerful than CDMA Workshop and can therefore be a little confusing to use, but some googling should yield some results as far as downloads and instructions are concerned. Alternatively, you can do a google search for CDMA Workshop 2.7. There is a cracked version out there.

HTC Hero and Metro PCS Setup

Hi,
I was a steady user of Windows Mobile phones. Setup and flashing ROMS for YEARS I lived on XDA Forums!. NOW I'm on Metro PCS and I have a HTC Hero and I'm sick and tired of running this to someone and having it fixed and them Charge me. I want to know or be pointed to the information that I can use to do this. DO NOT point me to a website or person that will charge me to do it. I WANT TO DO THIS MYSELF!
It seems nobody will tell you anything! Someone has to know what it takes or point me in the right direction so I can learn this. I know how to root it and Flash the ROM that is easy! What I want to know is:
How do you setup the phones settings to work with Metro PCS? What is required to program it for Metro PCS? Is it a file? software? What I'm asking is if I have a Hero flashed with say Damagecontrol v1.0 what are the steps at that Point to set it up on Metro PCS from there?
And YES I've search Google and every site with every combination or keywords for some kind of information to do this. Even the XDA site and I get Nothing.
Thanks,
Rick
Has it already been flashed to metro? Ever if not send me a pm. I don't charge I don't guarantee results but i've got a couple tricks up my sleave that i think will work. If it works then we will post a how-to so everyone can do this for free as well.
I've been desperately awaiting this post for about 4 months. I see hero's on CL all the time selling as "fully flashed" gps/mms/market/etc. How in the hell is this achieved, i had internet for 2 months, then it no longer worked one day. PLEASE SOMEONE POST TUTORIAL!?!?
I just want to know how to do my phone. I want to know how to do it from scratch. I have a HTC Hero NOT flashed to Metro. I know I need Damagecontrol v1.0, BUT how do you set it up for Metro.
I have another HTC Hero flashed and it needs to be reflashed (Acts weird now) , BUT I'm not going to pay someone to do it again. If they can do... So can I. I just need to find out how too.
I also want to know If I can only use Damagecontrol v1.0 / 2.1. Or can I use something higher than 2.1 on the Hero flashed to Metro?
I'm just asking for help or even point me to a site with the step by step process. All these people do this on CL so I know it's out there.
I got a pretty good idea on how to do this but I need some testers
I did it, fully flashed, search the internet, you'll find what you're looking for.

I've had mine on CM 6 with 2.2 rocking! up until they changed the metropcs servers which all I lost was net access.
I paid $60-70 bucks to have it done at first and they used the Damaged Rom and honestly it was hit or miss. Yeah man you can dam sure use lots of other Rom's.

I don't think you should have to get a new number or anything like that.
I'm not completely certain, but I think your problem lies in one of the following settings:
HDR AN AUTH User ID/Password
PPP User ID/Password
M.IP NAI Profile
MMS Server URL
Dial ##778# and ##3282# to access those(you will need your MSL/SPC code to change any settings). I think QPST Service Programming can also alter these settings if you're having trouble with ##778#. Configure them to match your service provider. Hopefully this will point you in the right direction.
I need to do this as well. Anyone have a step by step.
dude stop bumping threads no one is going to help u if u keep doing that take a hint already.

My hero is flashed to metro and I only have working talk, sms, wi-fi, n market but no data n mms. I have CM7, clockworkmod(lastest), rooted, gapps, u2nl, n so on but for for sum reason can't mod with QPST or EPST so I flashed back to 2.1 stock rom it works there. I did everything possible like followed guides for different settings that promised to get metros mms working but all I did is f&*) up my internet. Hopefully I not talking to a wall because I need those settings above HDR and so forth to get data n mms working. Thanks.

[Q] How to switch from Verizon to Cellular South

Searched this forum and couldn't find a difinitive answer.
Is there a way to switch my Verizon phone so that it will work on Cellular South?
I know the MSL code and am familiar with the advanced menus I just don't know what to do.
Thanks.

If it's a cdma network would imagine it'd be easy. I use this fascinate on cricket. Trick is, will they let you?
You could probably flash a showcase rom and radio and be all setup, hehe.
See if they'll add your ESN to their database. If so, that's about all you have to do.
You will need to figure out if they will accept flashed phones. If they do, you will need to locate the prl they use, download qpst build 323 and qpst 215 (for ppp settings) and alot of patience. Also, you will have to figure out their ppp "um" and "an" password. If they allow for flashed phones should be no problem.
Edit: I see they carry the fascinate...if that's the case, you can flash their correct prl and call them from the phone. They will ask for your info and give it to them. Once you hang up, they should give you a code for an ota programming...if that doesn't work, then you'll have to do it the other way.
