I have a Cellular South Hero that I used in the beginning of 2010. It was rooted and flashed with a Sprint 2.1 ROM. I no longer have Cellular South service and I'd like to sell the phone, but I wanted to see what my options are for returning it back to a Cellular South ROM. When the root/flash were performed, Cellular South had not pushed the OTA update for 2.1 yet, but now it is available. Is it at all possible to re-load a Cellular South ROM, preferably 2.1?
Since the phone is no longer active on the network, I wasn't sure what all I can even accomplish.
Thanks.
yea just download the 2.1 RUU from cell souths site, and you should be good.

Just bought a KAIS120. Will start with the preinstalled HTC rom. Do I need to update the radio for it to work, or work better, on the AT&T network? I wasn't sure if the AT&T radio was only for the KAIS110/KAIS100. Is there anything else I will need to do to get it on the network?
Thanks
You should be OK -- I've been running one with the stock ROM on the AT&T network for over a year now, and it works just fine, even on 3G data.
Dumped the Damn Original Rom Some How and Now If I Ever Wanted To restore To Factory Settings Im Through I have THE CDMA Version of Milestone from CellularSouth

Hello!
Just installed cyano 6 N1 on a nexus one that I got from Videotron here in Canada.
The thing is that now ive lost 3G network, with the radio firmware update FRF50-radio-4_06_00_12_7.zip.
And I got me there, I lost my damn nandroid backups, thus having fun trying to get that "stock" radio firmware back in.
Anyone can provide me with the stock OS + Radio that works with Videotron, I think they are on 1700mhz aws band.
There is no difference between the radio software on the 2 different models of the N1, it's the same for both.
Have you checked the APN settings to make sure you settings are still there, I've had to add mine manually when installing CM6.
that did it
Well you got it, there was no APN in there.
It work now, I found the apn info using google
Hi guys, just a quick question for you Motorola Milestone users that use Vodafone's network in New Zealand.
First off, I know that Vodafone NZ does not support Milestone. Only Telecom XT supports it. However, Vodafone does support and sell Milestone 2, so I don't see why this couldn't be possible.
Anyway, I'm currently using Android v2.1 (Eclair). I flashed the New Zealand v2.1 SBF on it, and it works fine and all except it's obviously for Telecom XT, therefore I can't get my Vodafone SIM card to work properly. If I change the network from 2G to 3G, then it works. I don't get full signal bars (4 bars), but I get 3 bars most of the time which is pretty stable so it's not bad. However, if I switch to 2G (to save battery) then I get no bars at all, completely empty. It doesn't seem to be able to detect any network at all when I switch to 2G. Whereas switching to 3G the phone is able to detect all 3 networks in New Zealand (Vodafone, Telecom, 2Degree).
Now the reason why I'm on Android v2.1 is because when I was on v2.2 (Froyo), it has all sorts of problems with the WIFI. It's probably because of the kernel or something, and it seems A LOT of people have the same problem with me on v2.2 as well. If you do a quick Google search on wifi problems on Milestone then you'll understand why. A lot of people have suggested to flash back to v2.1 to fix this, and so I tried and it did indeed work for me. But since the only available SBF for v2.1 for New Zealand is for Telecom XT, now I have this new problem to deal with. It's not a big deal, I can stay on 3G. But if possible, I'd rather not because it seems v2.1 uses up battery more qiuckly, and the fact that using 3G uses more battery means I have to charge often and that's something I hate doing.
Now here's an important note. When I received my Milestone which came with v2.2 (Froyo) pre-installed, it was using Europe/UK I believe. It doesn't have problems with Vodafone's network on 2G at all, however like I mentioned it does have problems with the wifi. But the point is, the 2G network for Vodafone works fine on it.
So ya I'm just wondering, are there any Milestone users out there that flashed a different SBF, say Europe for example, and able to get the Vodafone network to work fine on 2G, while also making wifi work fine as well?
Or, are there any basebands for New Zealand that I can flash? There doesn't seem to be any from what I found.
Oh and here's where I found the SBF files in case you're wondering, here's the link for v2.1 (Eclair):

and here's the link for v2.2 (Froyo):

Hello,
Prior to upgrading my (Rogers) Raider to ICS, I would have consistent "4G" service almost everywhere.
I installed the Bell Mobility RUU, added a Rogers APN and I'm in business. However, the service indicator stays on "3G" most of the time, but if I pick the phone up, I get "H" for about 10 seconds, then it reverts back to "3G". I've tried numerous APNs and none seem to make a difference.
Does anyone else have this problem? Better yet, anyone have a solution?
Thanks!
EDIT:
Through more research, I've found that the phone switches to H when using data and switches back to 3G when idle. While part of me likes that idea, does anyone know of a way to force the system to stay at H speed service unless it's not available? i.e. how every other phone I've ever had works
I have noticed this. I never even though about it. I switch back and forth from a Bell and Rogers cards all the time.

Rogers lies. Their rom probably shows 4G even when you are on 3g. Before I flashed the Bell RUU onto my phone (sim unlocked to Bell) it said 4G even though there is no LTE where I am. Once I had the bell rom it showed when I was on 3G and when I was on HSPA+. The phone switches to 3g when you aren't using data in order to save battery life. This is my third android phone and they all have done this. It most likely did with the Rogers rom but they altered it to show 4G anyways

I don't dispute that they lie but I like the speeds I got before I upgraded to ICS. When I had Rogers' "4G" I would get an average download speed of 5 to 6 Mbps. When I was near LTE that increased to about 40Mbps. Now with this 3G/H combo I have, my speed is capped at about 700Kbps download.
So far, no features of ICS are worth the reduction of speed...as it is quite noticeable. I don't even see an increase in battery life to help justify things.
Thanks for your insight! Now I just debate whether I wait it out and flash a Rogers ICS radio when it becomes available or revert back to GB...
svc518: I'm curious... when you go to About Phone, then Network, what does it say under "Mobile network type"?
if you figure out how to flash back to a GB RUU, please share. My Bell Raider is on the Bell ICS RUU and I was not able to flash back to Bell GB RUU (it checked the HBOOT version and said it wasn't right... I assume because I'm on the newer Bell ICS HBOOT). I dunno, maybe I'm missing something simple.

It was constantly changing, depending on whether or not data was being used. I don't remember what exactly they'd change between but one was UMTS.

I managed to get back to Rogers' GB then did the OTA update to ICS. My original problem is fixed: my phone stays on "4G" all the time and I get the download/upload speeds I used to.
Here is an overview of *as much as I can remember* of what ended up being successful for me. It was not simple (for me), took me a few tries, a few bootloops, lots of beer and a plethora of profanity. I won't be able to offer much assistance...so follow in my footsteps and appeal to Google if you get stuck:
Relock Bootloader --> Install Bell ICS Stock RUU (again) --> Unlock Bootloader --> S-OFF --> Install GB HBOOT from unlimited.io (their written directions are wrong for the Vivid...use the picture they have) --> Install Bell GB RUU
Make sure you find some set of instructions on a forum somewhere that seem to jive with those steps. In case of discrepancies, assume I am wrong. All these things change when you throw custom ROMs and Recoveries into the mix and I'm new at this. Google saved my ass, my engineering degree probably helped in the step by step research about what to do next...
