[Q] How to Change CDMA Carrier (GCI to ACS)? - Droid X General

I picked up a Milestone X off of Craigslist that's paired up with a local carrier GCI here in Alaska. I'd like to change it to another local carrier ACS. They have both carried the Milestone X, so that gives me hope that it should work. I've already rooted it and have installed MIUI on it for fun, but I want to try to actually use it as a phone now. From what I understand I need a new prl? I've been trying to do some research into this before asking, and I'm assuming I need to use qpst? What all do I need to do the actual switch? Also I can't find a sbf for it, so not sure if that's a bad thing or not.
Thanks for any input.
Edit: I nandroided back the stock. Thought I'd put in my phone specs

I was having a problem getting into ##PROGRAM as the SPC wasn't 000000, but using RadioComm I figured out what it is. Is there a way to change that to all zero's so I don't have to remember what the string is?

The strange thing is I don't understand how Rogers knows who is running what radio. I don't think they have the ability to see that. How i figure they did this was just pulling ever Dream and Magic IME and blasting everyone. It's strange though that the calls and texts haven't stopped. Have the texts/calls stopped for people that have legitimately completed the update?

Thanks for the help! I called Rogers a few different times with some friends that have rooted and unrooted magics. I provided this information to the tech support reps each time and all but once they have reenabled data within a minute. They do still continue to get the blast messages though...
as a futher FYI for everyone.
After calling Rogers regarding my issues with the magic, the update, the fact that they stopped selling the magic, and the fact (untrue since i was rooted and running 1.6) that i would have been unable to call 911 before this update, Rogers ended up providing me with the choice to resign my contract at no charge and recieve a new phone for free. I end up moving to a blackberry which i plan to sell in short order and get a nexus or a milestone. I encourage you all to do the same as i can't see a reason why not too. Rogers is basically paying for my upgrade to a way better phone.
In closing all i have to say about that is that Rogers can suck it lol.
I think Rogers will still stick it to you.
The current Nexus One is not supported by Rogers GSM network. I did read the phone should be release at a later date supporting the AT&T / Rogers network.

"The Nexus One is available unlocked or with T-Mobile service. The phone recognizes SIM cards from any mobile service provider using the GSM standard, but is incompatible with the frequency band used by the AT&T and Rogers networks for 3G data. Additionally, the Nexus One is incompatible with CDMA networks such as Verizon and Sprint."

How do I edit this info on my phone? I'm running a Hero ROM.
Firmware version OK; Fixed the build number by editing the build.prop file, but I'm not sure how to do the other two.

[Q] GSM Radio Connectivity Problem

Last week I got an unlocked defy from Amazon to use with simplemobile in the US. I activated a sim card and everything worked fine (data, calls, texts).
I made a backup with titanium back up, installed IML74K 4.03 AOKP build28 for Motorola Defy and all went smoothly. However, once it was loaded, I could not connect to the simplemobile network and would only get "emergency calls only"
Tried the baseband switcher v4.0, different frequencies and had no luck. In the attempt of reloading the ROM, could not get the phone to boot past the loading screen. Then I attempted to load a full SBF (T-Mobile_MB525_6.19.0_1FF). This resulted in a black screen, probably due to a version mismatch.
Then I flashed JORDN_U3_6.36.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNTMOB1B4B5DE1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf, and all worked...except connecting to the network. I still get "emergency calls only". I tried baseband switcher and 3gFixUSA found on these forums to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what to try to get the radio functioning again?

I'm having the same problem on t mobile..... ugh.
I got it. I think.
Nevermind. seen you have used baseband switcher...
Does the baseband switch stick after reboot?
But, theres a 3g fix somewhere here... Try here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897445
Im not sure if that will help... cheers.
Yeah, I tried that exact 3g fix...is it possible that the radio firmware version is too old/too new/just wrong? Is it different than the baseband?

I'm sure you tried all the basebands that it shows... Hm.. I had the problem until I switched to cm7 honestly.. I know the radio cant be old if it worked before. So. Im not completely sure... Except. Im on Tmobile :c
Interesting...well maybe I should try to install cm7 as well. Is there a specific build that you used? Also, did it work out of the box, so to speak, or did you have to do some more baseband switcher tests?
At this point I'm willing to try to replicate whatever worked for you if you would be willing to share what worked, I would greatly appreciate it

Its the build by Shawnshine. But I'm.sure the other builds would work.. and yes mine worked out of the box. I just tried all the basebands for tmobile and one finally worked. Plus try playing with the sim card. I got mine completely bone stock. I came from a evo 4g and a 3D. But I wont have this phone for too long I'm getting a HTC one next month but this phone has been good to me.

mae sure ur apn setting are correct;;
It is I don't know if I broke my phone
Sent from my GT-S5360L using xda app-developers app
You probably didn't break it.
Make sure you're in a 4G area first off.
Now follow these steps,
1. Go to the Dialer
2. Type *#*#4636#*#*
3. This will lead to a secret testing menu, click on the first option.
4. Scroll down and there will be a Network Type, and click on that and change it to WCDMA only
5. If you do have a 4G signal, you should be connecting.
Hope that helps!
If that doesn't help, then i suggest following a guide so you can flash the stock rom and unroot and relock the bootloader.
Then you can send it in to the company, and they will never know.

No internet/Spark/4G LTE. DNS error

Hey guys. I have a sph-l720t that was rooted and running TWRP. I used GalaxyTools by iDone to get the WiFi tethering working and everything was fine. Yesterday my phone pulled a PRL update and now I cannot get any Sprint internet. Phone and texts come through but I don't get any Spark/3G/2G or otherwise. I have unrooted and done a full restore to no avail.
Software/Baseband version: L720TVPUBNG5
Hardware Version: L720T.03
Android Version: 4.4.2
Build Number: KOT49H.L720TVPUBNG5
I noticed at one point that I had no APN's listed so I used the "restore to default" and now it lists "LTE - SPRINT OTA" but the radio button on the right is not checked and I can't manipulate it.
Any thoughts?
Force the phone to do a hands free activation. There's a dialer code to do it. A quick google search will find it.

No data on Motorola Milestone 3 XT861

Hi everybody,
first of all, I looked all over this forum and also I googled a lot but I was not able to find a solution to my problem. I know that this is an older phone, but it is the one I want because of the keyboard and build. So please do not tell me to buy something newer. So here it is:
I bought a brand new Motorola Milestone 3 in United States (originaly Alltel) and I unlocked it for GMS network with unlock code.
I want to use it in Slovakia, Europe on O2 - SK network. I can make calls, receive calls, send texts, receive texts but I can not get the data service to work.
I tried configuration texts from service provider, I tried to manualy set the APN, none of it worked.
Under Settings - Battery and Data manager - Data Delivery I have both Background data and Data enabled checked.
I managed to root it with KINGOROOT. Before I start playing with custom ROMs to get the data to work, I would like to try to get it to work on stock ROM. I do not mind staying with Android 2.3.6
Details about the phone:
System version: 5.8.25.XT861.ACG.en.US
Model number: MILESTONE3
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: N_03.18.37P
Kernel version: [email protected] #1
Build number: 5.5.1.1-84_D3G-25
Please if ALLTEL has some hidden settings for data access preventing me from getting my O2-SK data access, let me know if there is a trick how to change them or delete them or to do something with it. I really like this phone and I will be very glad if I will be able to use it with data as well. Not only calls and texts.
Things I think might work but need confirmation:
- installing ROM from Motorola DROID 3 XT862 from Verizon wireless
- installing ROM from Motorola DROID 3 XT860
- installing ROM from Motorola DROID 3 XT883 from Chinese operator.
So please if you know anything about solving this issue, let me know.
Have a nice day and thank you for your reply.
