Hello All!!
Its been a long time since I've been on here & I am loving all the new stuff I am seeing!!
I need a little bit of help...
I am changing Service Carriers from AT&T to nTelos & I DO NOT want to get a new phone. I LOVE my Tilt & have done SO MUCH custom stuff to make it a little bit more me (I mean Hours upon Hours of Downloads, Programs, Custom S2U2 Battery/Weather/Wallpaper fixes). Just the idea of having to do it all over again makes me want to cry. Is there ANY way I can change my current AT&T network setting so that my phone can be use on the nTelos network? nTelos has the PPC-6800 (which is comparable to the AT&T Tilt so I know that the "Phone" shouldn't be a problem since they support PPC phones) so how do I change the current setting to make it w/ the ntelos Network? Any help anyone can give would be MUCH Appreciated! I am DESPERATE!
Thanks in advance for your time & help!!
Is nTelos GSM? or CDMA?
I got my ATT Tilt to work on my Canadian Carrier by calling my customer support....if your new carrier has a WM phone, they should be able to guide you through setting up the stuff so that MMS and internet works over 3G/Edge/Gprs.
Give it a Try
PS. to move your apps and docs and some settings (if your switching handsets), try using Sprite Backup
nTelos is a cdma network like verizon or sprint att is gsm you can't use gem phone with cdma i hope it helps
Hi,
I would like to be able to modify my AT&T radio and change the default Mobile Network Code for my carier, is there any software to make easy to modify the ROM file ?
Thank
I'm not quite sure I understand what you're asking, but a radio will work on various different networks, depending on which SIM card you have in the phone. So I'm not sure that it's in the radio that you need to look.
What is it that you're trying to achive exactly, why do you want to change this code ?
Well, here is my problem;
I bought a Tilt 2 on ebay, and I also get an Unlock code for it. I have inserted my Bell SIM and the phone work correctly. I have configured the APN setting correctly and now I have internet without any problem.
The only bad thing is that the phone always think i'm in roaming, but that's not true. I have to deactivate all setting about roaming check, it's not a big thing but If I got to USA I will be charged for real roaming. and another downside is that many application pup info about roaming and data charge.
I'm searching since couple days to found a solution, and I'm pretty there is one but I have not enough knowledge on programming stuff. I've look all every registry in my phone and no one can't correct this ''roaming'' situation.
That's why im turning to Radio, since this phone is an AT&T, it's propbably seaching to compare SIM network provided and ROM network. I've found an interesting site about MMC/MNC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
and found that the default network for AT&T is 310-410. Here in Canada We have bell and telus that use same technology then AT&T (UMTS 850 / UMTS 1900).
I would like to change the default ''home'' network code to 302-880. because my Sim Provided IMSI is 302-610 (Bell).
So to make it short. I want to change the default ''HOME'' network 310-410 to 302-880 so the phone will not be in a roaming profile.
Hope that someone can help me, and I'm pretty sure many people will appreciate this fix.
Thank You.
I don't know much about this, but surely it's your SIM card that is providing this code ? Since I could buy an unlocked Tilt 2 and put my own SIM card in it, and use it fine here in the UK on a UK network.
I can't believe that your phone thinks it's roaming just because it's a Tilt 2.
Yes, I found in my registry ProvidedIMSI="302610" that is the SIM registred network 302610 Bell HSPA network. So my SIM is telling the phone to use this network, but there is something in the phone that say it's roaming and not a home network. and I need to find and change this.
I'm not the only one in this situation and i would like to find a fix.
i have no knowledge about this only thing i can think of at the moment is just change the current radio version and flash a new rom. the latest version for radio is
4.49.25.95
and is found here ------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939
follow the right steps. [:d]
best of luck
Yes, I've updated the Radio to the latest version and still have the problem of ROAMING. i've try 2 old radio and always got the roaming icon.
Any other input will be accepted!!
Thanks

I read somewhere that roaming starts when you are out of your area code range.
But you can try this too
go to ------> setting ---> personal ------> phone -------> Network (in the bottom tabs)
In the network tab click Find Network and make sure it is the same network you are using.
Network selection should be "Automatic".
Now in next tab BAND
select network type to "GSM" and GSM/UMTS band to "Auto".
Try this and let me know if this work else i will ask somebody knowledgeable like Sir Phunkee

I've play with these setting and nothing seem to work.
But maybe I found something interesting.
I've just test the phone with a ROGERS SIM card and I get 3G signal and i'm NOT in roaming mode..
Now, What that mean ? Rogers 3G is UMTS/HSPA 850/1900MHz same as BELL.
Why it say Roaming when phone is connected to BELL with BELL Sim and not on ROGERS SIM??
Could someone help me with that ? fix, cab, anything ?
Thanks
rooming
Hi
I do not know think you want to do with your tilt 2
Why you don't do a hard SPL and install a cocked rom !! as energy
I am using a tilt purchased from AT&T without contract
I get a unlock cod from the internet then I do a hard SPL it and install the energy rom in, is work like a charm with Rogers, without any problem( only the gps wish I never try
Perhaps this is can resolve your problem you should try
thanks
Already done Cjoco My Tilt 2 is Unlocked and Hard-SPL with latest EnergyROM.
Like I said before, SIM ROGERS work like a charm in my phone, No roaming warning. but with BELL and TELUS SIM I get the Roaming notif but it's not true, Im connected to BELL and VOICE,DATA,etc. work #1.
People say that it work with ROGERS because this carrier have a fallback signal if 3G is not available, with BELL if I lose 3G signal my phone doesn't work.

then i think problem is with your sim card not with your phone. Just get your sim card replaced and i am sure the problem would be resolved.
the problem may be with his sim card, but im not sure replacing it will fix anythibng. im also with bell and have the same problem on my fuze.
bios2k, how old is your sim card?
bobzero My SIM card is 2 Week Old. so, i'm not sure it because my SIM is old.
I'll give a call at tech support @ BELL to see if they know why it doing this. I'm not sure if they will be enough good to explain this situation.
I've read last night on many forums the RILPHONE.DLL could be a possible cause of our problem.
In my config I can select GSM(850,1700) + UMTS(850,1700) but there is no option to select UMTS only. so maybe the phone is searching for GSM first (rogers) that's why when I insert a ROGERS SIM my phone is not roaming.
Is there a way I can extract RILPHONE.DLL for our EnergyROM or Stock Tilt 2 rom. Maybe I can ask a Programmer to take a look at this DLL to see the code.
I'll let you know.
I've just talk with BELL technical support and they have no idea why I'm the phone say it's in ROAMING. I've talk to the billing department and they say I don't have any ROAMING fees, so nothing to worry about..
Now, I'm still at the same state = no solution
Same here.
I was checking around and found many got this problem, including BBs. Now, some claimed that after upgrading the O/S for his BB, it went away. Another person with different device upgraded his O/S and started having that problem, and it wasn't there with stock ROM.
Make me think it has to do with the software side of thing and nothing to do with SIM or radios. To pinpoint what is causing it, can be a tough task though.
scooper True, Hard task for people that don't know much about programming ROM and files, but maybe we can have help from other that wanna look at our problem.
I'm available to test if someone want to Help us .

You should try to change the radio and rom of your phone. Make sure to Task 29 b4 flashing. Another thing to make sure is you use the right radio, i mean the specific radio for telus, t-mobile or att.....
Wrong radio can also cause such problems.
I have the same issue with my Unlocked Tilt2 on Telus. I found a lot of people with unlocked winmo devices on bell/telus complaining of this problem and never have seen a solution. People say that a Fido sim will do the same thing. Only Rogers sims seem to not show roaming. PLEASE post if you find the solution or even cause of this.
I just did task29 and reflash ROM. I soon as I have the main menu Roaming Icon appear on top just beside or 3G.
Damn!! still stock with this roaming issue
anyone have Q's ?
I need help with a Galaxy Tab that a friend of mine has.
She has purchased a Galaxy Tab from Telstra and it is Next-G capable. However she wants to be able to use her Optus SIM card (she does not like Telstra). She got the unlocking code but something went wrong and now the Galaxy Tab isn't registering any SIM card.
I was wondering if someone could kindly point me in the right direction in perhaps rooting the phone and installing a custom firmware (or perhaps a firmware which pre-unlocks the phone to use any SIM card).
I am fairly familiar with flashing as I've done it a lot on my Galaxy S, however I'm finding it difficult to find the right steps on how to do it with the Galaxy Tab.
So, could someone please provide a helpful link? or point me in the right direction, would be a great help as I should be able to do the rest myself.
EDIT: Perhaps the information below may be helpful
Model Number: GT-P1000T
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband Version: P1000TDVJJ3
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9 - [email protected] #1
Build Number: FROYO.DVJJ3
have a look here regarding the "debranding" of your device ! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000132 . i hope it help !
Thank you very much, will have a read as soon as I get back from a 12 hour shift
Two things....
1/- What 'went wrong' exactly? Can you provide a little more info? Also, curious as to what code you used to unlock and where you got it from? Reason I ask is there isnt much that can go wrong really. It either works, or it doesn't. It's possible the wrong bands are selected if no sim is registering. What band is the asterisk next to when you dial *#2263# ? Just set it to 'Automatic' if it's set to anything else.
2/- I'm not 100% sure, but I think the modem on the Telstra tab may be different. Yes, both Optus and Telstra are 3G GSM, but Telstra use the 850Mhz band for 3G. Optus/Vodafone use 900Mhz. Once unlocked, the Optus sim should register, and you'll get data from GSM, just won't get 3G out of it.
Can someone else that knows tell whether a 850Mhz 3G modem can be flashed to support 900Mhz, or is it built into the hardware?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
I have been trying to do the reverse using non telstra GT-P1000 on 850mHz (nextG) an have come to the conclusion it wont work
Trying to go the way you are would just I thought require a modem flash maybe? and changing the settings to automatic as stated already
That said can anyone confirm GT-P1000T is the only model capable of umts 850mHz (ie. next G)
Basicly the tabs are at&t compatible or t-mobile compatible. There are a few odd network carriers out there that don't quite work on either st of frequencies.
Just set the wireless settings to automatic, check for correct apn values, and reboot and wait a few minutes. The tab is slow at connecting if you have a lot on your sd cards.
You can flash modems easily and find what works best.
Hi there! This is my first post (newbie to rooting/modding, etc), so please be gentle
I have a Motorola Milestone, an unlocked demo from TELUS.
I rooted it, as well as updated the OS with CM7. now it says connected to the carrier, but does not have any signal.
I have tried active SIM cards from TELUS, FIDO, and ROGERS. None are able to get any signal. All the SIMs worked in it fine until I did the above modifications. (I am also in an area that receives good signal strength on the handset previously).
I tried running OpenRecovery 1.46 and switching the basebands, but that did not work.
Any help (in simple, newbie speak) would be much appreciated. I was giving this phone to my young daughter to replace her basic SE flip phone.
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.
