Hi. I've found this site to be very helpful in my attempts to activate an Alltel HTC Hero cdma on the Page Plus network.

I finally got the phone to make calls, but it says that I'm roaming - there's a triangle above the signal strength meter. I checked it by making a call and it charges me the roaming rate of $0.29 a minute. I think I need an updated .prl file, but I'm not sure.

I'm able to send and receive text. I cannot send or receive MMS or connect to the internet.

Maybe someone here can help me. Please :)

Phone will be used in Berlin, WI 54923 (Near the following cities: Appleton, Oshkosh, Neenah, Fond du Lac)

Original phone details:

Alltel network, but Alltel is no longer in my area. Alltel customers were sent to Element One. I don't know if this affects what I'm trying to do.

Phone # (MDN) 920xxxxxxx

MSID (MIN) 9202900444

SIN/NID 1/65535

MMS Server url mms.alltel.com/servlets/mms

I rooted the phone and got my MSL (000000) number and made the following changes

Phone # (MDN) 920xxxxxxx

MSID (MIN) 9202799238 (from Page Plus)

SIN/NID 240/65535 (got "240" from Page Plus, they couldn't give me a NID number so I used the same one)

MMS Server url mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms (got this from searching on forums)

I downloaded a .prl file via KittyWireless manual programming instructions kittywireless.com/pageplus/pageplusmanualprogramming.html

I updated the PRL from my sd card by dailing ##775# and "commit changes"

When I make a call, I'm always asked to re-enter the 10 digit phone number I'm trying to reach. I've tried the following OTA programming numbers *228, *22800, *22888, *22890, *22891. I always get the following "Message AP 32 Welcome to US Cellular ..." It should be Verizon or Alltel, right?

I thought I might be using the wrong NID number so I tried 65335 (which I think is for Verizon), but it didn't make a difference. Still roaming and same messages when I try OTA programming.

I don't know if this means anything, but when I dial ##DATA# to edit mode I can choose either Data Profile, EVDO, or Advanced. If I choose EVDO, I get a blank screen. I can't make any changes.

So, I'm thinking I need a different prl file. Would this affect my data connection for internet and MMS too? What do you guys think? Can someone direct me to the right PRL file?

I've spent hours trying to get this phone to work... if you have any suggestions let me know.

Thanks!

PRL Update...

Hi there..

I've found the following PRLs useful when using Sprint Phones on Pageplus, so perhaps they will help with the Alltel Hero. I've used 51425m on my Alltel Hero on Pageplus. Worked like a charm. The 52505m is the latest VZW EvDo PRL.

Noticed the thread is old, but may help anyone else trying to do this.

Ive been trying to get 3g data working with my Nexus S on Pageplus.

All I can get is either a good 1X data connection or a slow, intermittent 3g connection.

I will try these PRL's when I get home.

I started a 2 year plan with T-mobile in September, not ever considering going to school in Canada, but now that is the prospect that I'm facing.

The biggest problem is that I'm still going to need a phone here in the states for breaks, so I can't just get a new Canadian plan. The reason I have posted this in the XDA forums is cause I have a rooted G2 + google voice. I know the chances are slim, but is there anything I can do with these two things that could help me not lose either a ton of money on cancelling a plan early, or lose the phone that I have paid $250 for?

Thanks for any help.
[General Topics] CptAJ:
Maybe you can sell the phone with the contract to somebody else and just get a new one?
[General Topics] oka1:
by law plans are pro-rated so if you have a 2 year plan and you are 1 year into it the penalty is 50% of the early termination fee. So look at the fine print the cost may not be as bad as you think.
[General Topics] dwang93:
What about the phone, since it is unlocked, would it work if i got like a prepaid plan in canada?
[General Topics] mrsbelpit:
It should have the GSM bands that Canada operates on, so yes, but that's edge speeds only. I don't know which 3g bands the G2 has or what canada's 3g operates on, so look into that to see if you can get speeds above edge.
[General Topics] Aǀanrocks15:
You should cancel your plan & for the states use prepaid t-mobile (or whatever) phone should still work. Just make sure you get tmobile to unlock it for you :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HikerMan:
Hey, just a quick question;

the CyanogenMod 7 update guide states

'NOTE: the ClockworkMod version 2.5.0.7 installed by Unrevoked3 is widely reported not to work with new "PVT4" batches of the Desire. To find out version of the device: '

I have found this to be true, and two times have I had the problem of having a phone which cannot mount an sd card.

So, what is the most stable version of the recovery for my HTC Desire? In Rom Manager I have the options of versions 2.5.0.7, 2.5.1.3 and 2.5.1.1.

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlgee:
I'm currently using 3.0.0.5 I believe it is, works fine apart from it no longer supports the installation of ROM's/Mods that use the old style install-script.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmenianFlasher:
CM 2.5.1.8 is most stable for me coz working fine, try this
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HikerMan:
Ok so if I want to use the new 3.0.0.5, all I need to do is download the .zip and flash it like I would a rom through recovery? I actually think I may be using AmonRa 2.0.1; Rom Manager is lying to me - so will i also be safe if I flashed it from AmonRa? Sorry for being cautious; I'm sick of the command prompt.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
No. Using a zip file only fake flashes the recovery so it's only there for the one time and when you reboot it it's gone. You need to actually permanently flash the .img file. You need S-Off for this. You can use fastboot or the Android Flasher, either way is fine. Also Rom Manager is gay for the Desire. Don't use it. BTW, I'm using 3.0.0.5 built by Kali. I have the fake flash 2.5.0.7.zip file incase I need it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HikerMan:
Oh ok. Thanks, that was useful! I will probably stick with the recovery I have now and just not use Rom manager then (after all that may be the cause of my problems) , I'm not too keen on S-Offing right now.

So why would someone want to fake flash a recovery?
[Atrix 4G General] DuffmasterFresh:
I bought my Atrix Feb 22 the day it came out. 1 month and 2 weeks later I sent a text message, went to check the phone 20 mins later and it was powered off. Never powered on since (tried everything to fix it). Not rooted, 100% stock with few apps, never dropped, huge Otterbox case and screen protector. I bought it from RadioShack, they said I had to talk to AT&T and that they wouldn't give me a new phone cause its after 30 days.

Anyway, AT&T sent me a refurb...or a used phone...or whatever it is. Well it has some defects of its own. I don't want to run around switching them phone after phone until I get one that works correctly. If I complain do you think I will get a new phone? Would I go to RadioShack or AT&T for that? And lastly, does anyone know what kind of phone I received from them, used, repaired, etc?

My refurb phone does this weird thing at startup, like it wants the lights to turn on but they dont. Also the bottom lights come on when they want and the green message light does as well. Otherwise the phone works fine it appears. Only had it for a day.
[Atrix 4G General] moondrius:
I went through this with verizon recently. The best you will get is a refurb. It really sucks because you are most likely never going to get a phone that works.
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
you can try motorola support, they might ask you to send the phone for repairs though.
[Atrix 4G General] TomMelee:
If you replace the phone 3 times you can choose a new one oev.
[Atrix 4G General] vin791:
the above post is correct, i did that last year and finally they sent me the better version of the phone i had, and it was new not refurb.
[Atrix 4G General] DuffmasterFresh:
So I need to go through 3 Refurb phones, or 1 New phone and 2 refurb phones?

This is my first refurb after my original new one died. While this phone works, it just doesnt seem to be godly like my original one was. It has restarted a few times, camera app froze, lights at the bottom do what they want, all things my original phone never did.
[Atrix 4G General] TareX:
Sell it on Ebay, get a Nexus S.
[Atrix 4G General] DuffmasterFresh:
Talked to ATT for what seems like the 12th time and they will send me another refurb. I asked the tech how many refurbs do I have to go through before I get a new one and he said he had never herd of anyone getting new phones for their problems. Any comments regarding this?
[Atrix 4G General] bearsfan172:
Thanks for your insight.

Generally, ATT is a pain about giving away new phones. I don't think there is a cut and dry way of getting a new phone, but some people get lucky and others don't. Honestly... most refurbs are alright though. Nothing to get too fussy about unless there is actually something wrong with it. It is agitating though.
[Atrix 4G General] DuffmasterFresh:
Well there is something wrong with this refurb. But if I get another refurb that is defective I honestly should get a new phone. Maybe if it had been a few months I would be ok with a refurb but the phone is a month and a half!

[Thunderbolt General] akanatrix:
Although unfortunate, it doesn't really matter if the Skype app leaks your data. It's only available through your phone, which is perfectly fine as long as you don't download random apps without understanding who made that app. I relate it to leaving all of your credit card statements and social security card on the kitchen table. As long as you don't invite random strangers in the house no one will see it anyway.

In all honesty, I'm not sure I see the point. Free ram is wasted ram and I can't seem to run enough programs that there is really a slowdown from reallocating ram to other programs. I'd like to know if anyone has been able to use all the ram to the point of causing a slowdown though.

Hi all

I'm tired of searching google atm adn i thought that you all can help me with my problem. My father got new HD2 today and asked me to move all of his contacts from backberry to his new Leo device. I did that syncing everything with Outlook 2010 but there is a catch... If any of the contacts got more than one number then only one nuber will sync between Outlook and device. I can't figure out how to change that. There are no options for this. At least i didn't find any :/ Ohh there is one more thing about that - nearly all additional numbers are marked as "Other".

Ok, none of "Other" phone numbers are synced. Do you know how to change that except manualy update contacts? It's near 1k of them and it will be real pain in the ***
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
First method that comes to mind is export contacts to .csv open said csv in excel, sort the whole sheet by other column to get all contacts with other set into a block, select all the other numbers and move them into one of the alternates,, mobile2, for example. Save the sheet (choose dos csv, excel sometimes doesn't save csv right by default) reimport the contacts.

if you don't have excel, there are loads of free csv editors.

im on redux 1.1.2 and wanted to make the keyboard manager (found here working.

however moving the .apk from /data/app/ to /system/app doesnt work for whatever reason. i tried root explorer and super manager as well.

cutting out the file and trying to past it in the other folder it seems to work, gives no error message but i cant see the file being moved and when i navigate back to /data/app its still sitting there.

of course, root access is enabled, so that cant be the problem here.

does anyone know how such a basic and simple function continously fails? im absolutely :eek: by this and need a solution asap.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Do you have write access to /system?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Year nothing is wrong with root explorer. To test try moving a file from /data/app to sdcard.

But in order to write to /system you need your bootloader to be s-off, and it's surprising how many people don't know this and just try using such apps without thinking.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali_loly10:
check that you have enabled "remount as R/W"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mclaren2:
you are onto something. checked my bootloader and that thing is s-on :eek:

i could swear it used to be s-off when i checked last time, but yes that was some time ago.

so now its s-on and i need it to be s-off.

found http://alpharev.nl/ and there a hboot reflash utility but ... well i download on ubuntu and all it gives me is an very useless .iso file. extracting contains no file i actually can run.

the website guide couldnt be any worse, black background and small white font, its not what im looking for on a lazy sunday :p

so in short: is there an easy + fast way to get a s-on device s-off. easy and fast means no nandroid backup, no normal backup, no factory resets or whatever.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
.iso is an image file, so you need to burn it onto a cd/bootable use-stick and then boot from it. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mclaren2:
and for what reason? will it boot me into some cmd prompt kinda thing where i have to enter some command lines?

and if so which ones? wil i be able to keep all my data on the desire?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
First of all, do a nandroid backup, then you keep your data.

It won't give you a command line, it will automatically start the s-off-program. You basically connect your phone, hit Enter, then wait a few minutes and dont touch anything.

But I really recommend some reading about in this forum about this. You might need to get fastboot running on your computer to flash a new recovery, so make sure you have all needed drivers and the recovery image (of the same recovery you are using now, otherwise you probably can't restore nandroid) handy before you start.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mclaren2:
i looked arround a bit but found nothing really usefull. googling for fastboot even brings up wrong results things which have definitely nothing to do with htc desire or s-off.

is fastboot that adb thingy i need to get to work and which is said to not work properly on ubuntu 10.10? then i ditch all that stuff and will forget about it.

the lack of answers seems to suggest that no one is really sure if it will work or not.

seems to be a big risk and not worth wasting any more time.

thanks for your help nevertheless. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Well, search for the S-OFF guide in the Developmenet section.
