Discovered something interesting?

I just discovered something interesting. I installed the sprint stock ROM and it managed to change the radio/baseband version, but the network still defaults to U.S. Cellular. That is very strange. I would really really like to know what is the security mechanism that is making the phone do this :confused:

I'm guessing the radio/SIM is in fact unlocked like the phone says when I go into the SIM Manager thingy but somehow there is some programming from the U.S. Cellular carrier to always default to U.S. Cellular no matter what?!

Yes> This is very Strange. Not at all like an iphone :s

Here is what I have in device information on software:

Radio Version - 1.96.00 WF (Original -I believe- Sprint Stock Radio, Was 2.18.... Before I installed the Sprint Stock ROM/Radio Combo After HardSPL Unlocking -1.0 Olinex )

ROM - Mighty ROM

OS Version - 5.2.2....

Manilla Version 2.5.2012....

etc.... (Not that any of this -other than the radio and the fact that U.S. Cell Default - Seems to matter?)

I am super Confused!

Even mighty ROM Provision To sprint doesn't seem to completely Register. It will Provision and Provision all day long and install cab files all day long but always reverts back to U.S. Cell as the carrier and won't Detect any other networks in Comm. Manager/Phone Settings. I tried GSM and Global modes, and tried just about everything else from manually inputting the baseband frequencies and networks etc...

But like I said, there is an extended Flash Drv in the Registry Edit. You said it's not partitioned? I know flash drives are slightly different and that has something to do with the way it reads,stores, and writes information. But I don't know too much else. I think its supposed to have strong electromagnetic properties and is resistant to static electricity and drops or damage. I am wondering if partitioning a phone is also different from that of partitioning a computer?

Here are the few things I notice in the Registry that seem interesting to me/probable places for me to look:

H_Key Local Machine ... Security/PUshRouter/Security

Subkeys: (Default)

Provider10 - SecProviders.SyncMLSecProvider

Provider20- SecProviders.WAPXMLSecProvider

Provider90- SecProviders.UnauthSecProvider

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/BlockDevice/FlashDRV

There is also something Called BtC that is mentioned a lot. There are quite a few drivers and files associated with it.

And of Course : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/BuiltIn/Ext_FlashDRV is there. There is also FLASHDRV just below it along with numerous other files listed.

First Subkey of the extended FlashDRV is Defualt followed by:

Dll - OEM_FlashDRV.DLL (OEM is original Equipment Manufacturer? Maybe this is in reference to the carrier, U.S. Cellular?? or just HTC?) Lots of other keys besides that I have no way to identify what they mean.

I really am just trying to learn as I go along though. Don't have much other choice really want to use my phone how I want to use it not how some bs network wants me to use. I have hardware on this device that is completely inactive. I bought the whole phone I didn't buy part of it grrrrr this is like buying a car but not being able to use the back seat wtf lol
