Does anybody happen to have or is willing to make a Milestone X2 SBF for the Altell network? I am currently running the Ntelos SBF with no data connectivity. Any help would be appreciated.
I need the x2 sbf for alltel also, I can find it for the x but not x2
All your missing is the carrier files for that network. Try doing a more thorough search for the altell sbf or nandroid. That or if you can. take it in to your store tell them you got a bad flash and you just need them to write the carrier specific files to your phone so you can use it to connect again. It's easier and probably faster than having to scour arroud to find it.

I'm pretty sure the Alltel sbf isn't on the internet lol cause I've searched extensively, and I've found/used other SBFs so it's not that I cant find any(though if I'm wrong about this I would gladly accept being proven wrong lol)
And I've taken phones into Alltel (HTC desire for US Cellular and Droid X2 for verizon) n got them to set them up on my account but with both of them the data stayed on my old phone n wouldn't work on the new ones. With the HTC I RUUed it with the Alltel one, with the DX2 i used the Ntelos SBF since I couldn't find an alltel one n figured if it didnt say verizon they wouldn't try the "this is a verizon phone, it wont work. just give up and leave" method lol
Maybe just getting the baseband would work, but finding that's about as impossible as finding the SBF in my experience
One of my major goals in life is getting a phone from another carrier on alltel, just because they say it can't be done lol. I hope someone figures out a way cause so far I'm not smart enough to
Try asking for someone to upload a stock nandroid of an altel phone. Write the ntelos sbf and restore the altel nandroid over top of it. If you don't want it to look like it was rooted do a factory reset and un install the recovery app. After that it should have altel branding everywhere but the kernel which will say ntelos. If you that doesn't give the phone network access try talking to a I.t. Rep and tell them the phone works all it needs is the apns and base band to be updated to their network. I've done before with my phone no problems the problem is getting a hold of the right people who will do what you need

i have a droid x that was on verizon, it was flashed over onto the ntelos carrier, i had it up and running and was finally almost finished with setting up my daily rom, i had the miui 1.9.9 rom with v6 supercharger script, my apps, blah blah etc. i flashed wugzfresh tether zip and lost 3g , i tried my nand...to no luck.....also tried apn manager and searching for the settings to no luck...my question i want to know is can i flash a milestone x sbf file to my dx??? and or is there any milestone x roms with the correct settings for data and mms? i really didnt want to have to bring it back to the people that flashed it over for me, being that he was kind of expensive and also he told me that if i was to root it that his "software" wouldnt connect to my phone....by the way he used flash to talk.....my calls and mms still work, my prl is 22802. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks for a great forum keep up the good work for all us dx users
Apn backup?
Thanks anyway I ended up bringing it back to the store he only charged me ten bucks though so im happy. I still have a question though. Is apn backup what I could have used to restore my web and sms settings? Or is that something completely different? Thanks in advance.
Were you able to get this resolved? I am more or less in the same boat as you, but I have an EVO 3D that I am wanting to flash. I do however, have an inactivated EVO 4G, that was once flashed over to NTELOS that still is connected to NTELOS in case I need to pull something from it.
I have a rooted HTC Eris Driod that was perviously on the verizon network but is currently not in service.... so far I have been using it around the house to serf the web with my wifi.
I am running GB 2.3 I would like to flash this phone to Metro PCS and start using it again... would this be possible if I currently dont have a plan?
not too sure if the old phone number assigned to it is even valid or if someone else is using it since i turned off service years ago?
Any recomendations or what are my options?
Thanks...
Droid Newbie.
You didn't clarify do you want to have service with MPCS?
I had mine done 2 weeks ago, so far so good. It was from vzw, cm7 2.8.3. i don't see why yours cannot be done. as for the number, it's proly back in circulation/pool and in use. i would call it first. otherwise you can get a new number at the mpcs store.
Note that they officially flash talk and text only. Some dudes do full flash for some extra $$, just ask. I ported my number from Tmobile and I am the 25$ plan (promo ended last december). I have been reading around to find how i can enable the web/data.
So far i have not found a link to get this done. so at the moment i can only use wifi.
If anybody can would you point us to some helpful links. Thanks. I hope that helps.
I have a chance to buy a Verizon Droid X2 at a great price. If I unlock the phone will I be able to use it on US Cellular prepaid? I searched and couldn't find an answer to this question, I don't want to buy the phone if there is no chance it will work. (I'm in very rural area and US Cellular is my only option for getting a signal at home)
Thanks in advance for the help!
You would have to have a phone dx2 or maybe a mx2 that works on uscel of your account then use qpst to backup service programming and more see my post about qpst but it still may fail.
Wait.
Does uscel sell a dx2 or mx2?

I think they may sell the MX2, but i doubt the DX2.
nvm US Cellular doesn't sell the MX2. The only Motorola phone they have is the Electrify which is the brother of the Photon, so I believe unlocked bootloader.
I realize that USC doesn't sell the Droid X2, but it's a cdma phone and should be capable of operating on US Cellular. I was just wanting to know if it would work if I unlocked and rooted the phone. I'm just not sure if USC would activate an unlocked phone that didn't originally come from USC.
I guess a simpler way to ask would be, "can a Verizon phone be unlocked and activated on USC since they are both CDMA"?
Its been done on a few networks that i know of, have health of success on both altell and cricket with a dx2 both networks are cdma, but there were lots of problems getting em working

Do u know we have a locked bootloader? U CANNOT UNLOCK IT.

so i've flashing a couple different ROM's. ever since i flashed the eclipse 1.3 ROM my data and cell radio is completely off no matter what i do (at no fault to the ROM maker).
i've went back to completely stock and not unrooted but i still can't get my cell radio to turn on at all. brought it to verizon and they couldn't do anything either and told me to just get a replacement.
i'd rather see if i can fix it myself and have been searching for razr radios with no avail. looks like their are no CDMA radios for the droid razr?
what options do i have? is it possible to try and reuse the stock radio and if so where can i find it?
anyone?
If you want to repair your issue you may need to rsd back to .173. Full restoral. Radios should be repaired. We have a locked boot loader so individual radios will do us no good.

ok do you know where i can find .173? i haven't been able to find it anywhere

I used this. I am cdma Verizon maxx though. After I used this it didn't reinstall my 4g radios. Maybe something I did.
I found and used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625229 as my work around to repair my missing lte radios.
This works. I recently took the .181 update w 0 issues. Make sure you uninstall after market recovery and wipe out all traces as it may fail.

Where are the radio choices for this phone? are there any? i havent seen one!
My friend has had the photon for a while and he has always complained about dropping calls, or sms's not going through, I just got done rooting and unlocking it, flashed CM7 and he said it is worst. Anyone out there got some suggestions?
What version build is on the phone?
Google talk me for help or question. @ [email protected]
well, im not exactly sure what was origionaly on it but I know it was 2.3.4,
but now it has "[KANG][ROM] CM7.2 by Photon Dev team 4-23-2012" on it.
Hmm, is he using it with sprint or another carrier like cricket?
I would just flash him back to stock have sprint update his profile and prl.
And if everything is fine flash custom roms.

Be careful letting sprint update your phone. Once you update to 2.3.5 you will be stuck with a locked bootloader till someone figures out how to unlock it. The basebands (radio) currently used by most roms is the one from 198_7 which is 2.3.4. As far as I know there are only 3 basebands for the photon and none of them make that much of a difference in reception if any at all. Currently 198_7 is your golden ticket for any kind of xda support.

Been using KANG CM7.2 since the beginning on a non sprint network in India. Never had a problem. The rom is almost stable. 99%... And i neither had an issue with the network data nor call drops.
There's a network selection option in
Settings -> Wireless and networks -> Mobile networks -> Network Preference right ??
I have a photon on Verizon and I get 1-3 bars in my basement and once in a while I drop a call but when I leave the basement I get 3+ bars ALL the time. Are you sure you or your friend has strong signal at all ( if possible try another sprint phone).

The photon has one of the best, if not the best radio of all sprint phones. Unless he is in a bad area for sprint then I don't know what to tell ya.

Updating the PRL and Profile is totally different from updating (upgrade) to 2.3.5.
I see the point of the suggestion to update profile/prl, it can make a difference in call/reception quality.
For those who are concerned about going back to stock for profile/prl updates there is another way. When on rooted stock use an app such as TiBu and freeze the upgrader/updater apk's. Then create a nandroid backup. If you need to go back to 198_6 or 7 for whatever reason you are safe.
My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
Well looks like hes SOL, when he first got it I did update the prl and profile and it didnt do much. Figured a custom rom would help. But his photon is on sprint, and his girl has the same exact phone and she has all the same exact problems he has. Like droped calles, and also the phone became very sluggesh over time, one of the worst phones i've ever used, and i've used at least 15 or 20 different android phones on all 4 major carriers foor a substantial amount of time. Sorry to say it, but its just my opinion. So... I think its just a bad area concidering the evidence. But anyway, hes been away for a few days and I cant get to the phone so I can't check anything. Thanks for the reply's though.
