[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
All working now... my details to success.

For those who were in my situation and have read and re-read dozens of posts about this process... I have finally figured out a solution which in my situation, was pretty simple in the end. I have all services working well now... voice, mms, sms, and 3g data. Let me give you a little setup info and then I will give you the steps I took. I will also include screen shot of pertinent settings. I will try to be detailed so bear with me... I just hope this will help others who pass this way.

I tried following the initial set of instructions to simply get voice & txt working. My idea was to use wifi mostly and work on the data part as time allowed. I had issues using other software to accomplish even this. I learned that when you see these instructions "look for RU-IM. click on the drop-down box. Select "NV-only," you

MUST

click write to actually unlock or untick something before the other settings like NAM1 would take properly. THIS WAS VERY IMPORTANT in my situation. It was not an intuitive thing for me to know.

I used the screen shots by AsianCajun in post #18 with the same program, DFS trial version, and wham! My data started working at what I assume is 3G speed... see attached screencap. IMPORTANT NOTE... lots of folks talk about which software to use to do all of this but I can testify that the DFS trial version worked for me. However, I could NOT make the voice part work. I was getting frustrated to no end. I tried different PRLs and it was a no go... no matter what. Again, I tried duplicating the info I found in these various posts to get things working. ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE... some posts suggest that your IMSI number is something like 31016xxxxxxxxxx with the x's being your phone number. In my case this is not so. These numbers for me are comprised of 310 which is the MCC, and 00 which is the MNC and the last 10 digits being the MIN which was given to me by chatting with a PP rep. In DFS, there are two areas of settings labeled IMSI and IMSI T. In my situation, these were two separate sets of values... I do not know why but the set labeled IMSI T used numbers which I retrieved from my phone in the "about phone / settings area" of my Rezound. I assume these are specific to the handset.

I had written everything to both 8K and 9k ports as previous posts suggested.

Ok, at this point... I realized the thing to do would be to read the settings from my Droid Incredible (which I already had on PP) and simply try to duplicate the setting on the Rezound. DUH... yea I know... I should have done that to start with. Anyway, when I read the settings and checked them out, some interesting things were discovered. Here are the most relevant, I think:

When I verified the settings in my Incredible, the PRL file is not even used in Nam2. Interesting.

Some of the settings like IMSI, Sys Pref, and Pref Mode were different... so, I replicated what had worked in my Incredible.

NAM2 seemed to be irrelevant... I am not sure about this. Hopefully this will not affect me when roaming... we'll see. Maybe NAM2 was somehow setup to run data separate from voice? Again, this is new to me so I am not sure.

You will notice in the "data" screencap that the password fields in my Incredible had a string of odd characters in them... so I am not sure what this was all about... maybe just the way DFS read possible encryption? Regardless, note that before I got to this point, I had already written to this area on both ports with the info that AsianCajun supplied in post #18.

Again, worth repeating... the settings which made voice start working were taken from my Droid Incredible which I assume has no 9k port. The settings were read from one modem only. The link to my computer for DFS was a separate modem instance in device manager.

for your convenience, I am attaching the PRL file which I pulled from the Incredible and used in the Rezound. If this matters, I live in the western part of Tennessee.

Good luck to all. I hope this helps someone!
