Can you unroot a CDMA Non-Sprint Hero back to a "generic" (non-sprint) pre 2.1 version?
When you say "non-Sprint" do you mean us cellular? If so check the website

Yes, its a US cellular, CDMA, Non-Sprint. They don't have any update to 2.1 and since I rooted I am having more problems than fun.
So, I was wondering if there is a way to get back to factory with something as a "generic" CDMA Non-Sprint RUU, if such thing is possible.
If you made a nandroid backup before flashing your 1st rom then you should be able to back up thestock rom then just do a data wipe and u should be good to go but if not ill look around for you

you could try entering ##3282# , please wait while initiating...click edit mode, enter your msl. you can call sprint for your msl or run logcat and find the six digit number in there.
click on evdo, then click preferred mode. you should see automatic, hdr only, digital only, cdma only. try using digital only, it should run evdo only. also try hdr only as it should also only run in digital.
I tried entering that number and it says.the number or code u enterd is incorrect

if you have a cdma hero, open your phone dialer and enter ##3282#, its ##DATA# - then wait. you should not receive an error. ill google around but ##3282# should get you in there
It's still doing it

That will only work if you're running a SenseUI (sucks, I know) ROM that has QPST on it. Flash a rom such as Nfinite's NFX or something like that. Then those ##xxxx# codes will work.
I believe you can still access basically the same menu on an aosp rom, don't remember the *#*#XXXX#*#* code though
You could check the market for an app called "network" or something similar. It may open it up

I can confirm, you need to use NFX 2.1 rom, as the FroyoSense is a GSM rom that is ported over to CDMA hero, and GSM roms dont use EPST as CDMA phones do...
So if I did the data thing would it still work if I switched back to this Rom
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Well this seems to be working I switched back to nfx hero and there's a root app for cdma phones called msl reader I went to the settings selected evdo set it to hdr then I went to the top forgot what its called then hit enable then I pressed comit chAnges and it rebooted now its staying on evdo but will it still be saved in the settings if I switch back to a gsm Rom

thats great. glad i could help you out. be aware that while running evdo/digital only you wont be able to receive or place calls. calls use 1x and if im not mistaken, sms also needs 1x. thats how it was back in the day, anyway. so if you use the device strictly as a modem then you dont have to worry about switching back when youre finished with your data'ing.

By unlocked Hero, do you mean the European version? If so, then yes it will work with Tmobile but no 3G, only 2G EDGE data.
If you mean the Hero from Sprint, then no, it will not work. It's not a GSM phone.

I'm running Damagecontrol 1.1 right now. I would like to go to 2.2 or 2.3 I can't seem to find a answer for which ROM I can use that will work with Metropcs. I've burned up the Search here! So if someone could point me in the right direction would be great.
Thanks,

I really don't think the carrier has anything to do with it but the brand of phone.. as long as u get a rom for the hero u should be fine..
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Looks like there's two different hero versions in the forums. Cdma and non cdma. I don't know whether or not PCs is cdma or GSM but pick a rom for whichever service ur running.. hope this helps.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Metro PCS is a CDMA network. AFAIK, you'll only brick if you flash a gsm radio, not roms. I flashed a gsm rom once. It didn't work, just bootlooped, but I fixed it. Any of the roms in here should flash fine to your phone.

Anyone got a write up on how to flash These? I was able to flash me OG DROID to cricket but I don't know how to do these 4G phones
Sent from my ICS flavored DROID4
I was under the impression that the Verizon LTE phones had their CDMA authentication modified to use the SIM card for authentication as opposed to the IMEI as in non LTE phones. They also modified their 3G network to use SIM based authentication for 3G data as opposed to IMEI. If this is true it would prevent you from accessing the 3G CDMA based data network because the phone would be passing SIM based authentication for data and the network was expecting IMEI based authentication. In theory you could flash a different radio firmware if you can find it to correct this... but currently as Verizon is the only carrier of this phone I do not believe there are any alternative radio firmwares available. Community....please correct me if i am wrong but this is my understanding.

You can use QPST to set it to NV only.
You can attempt to use QPST, however it would not accept the change. I did it using cdma workshop 2.7

Is everything the same on the Droid 4? I'll pay somebody to do it for me! I'll pay to ship the phone or whatever. I never have too great of luck with the CDMA Workshop or QPST. I DO know how to access the User activation and everything on the phone with the ##PROGRAM then press send and put in the 000000. Any help would be greatly appreciated from anybody. I just got my Droid 4 in the mail today and called Page Plus to activate only to have them tell me LTE couldnt be flashed to Page Plus. What if I called them and used the IMEI and dropped off the last number? Would that work if I just called them and gave them that? HELP! LOL!
