pulsar220 2 Report post Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Hello everyone, I am having a very weird issue. My phone has lost data/voice service and it just shows that its on roaming. Was running on stock rom all this while. So to decided to flash to ICS. Steps that were done (as shown on the XDA threads) :- 1. Latest 198_7 sbf was loaded 2. Bootloader was unlocked 3. Recovery mod was installed 4. Flashed to Th3Bill's MiUi v4 rom Now I don't have any voice/data connectivity. Can you please help me restore the connectivity back. I am Android noob. This was done by fellow RImweb'ian krispuniq and even he's confused as to why the voice/data was lost after the flash.

krispuniq 3 Report post Posted June 12, 2012 Go with the SBF for phton, just google for it than Flash Prl by CDMA WS & USE NV Dump for Data Parin, So lets say we start the process all over again.. ie., Flash SBF (at this point check if the data & connection is back, if not then load PRL & NV Dump) Root & unlock bootloader Flash Custom CWM Wipe/Factory Reset Load MIUI v4 2.6.8 ( this ROM was the reason why it all started ) and check again whether data & calls are working ! (if not working, can we again load PRL & NV dump at this point) ? How to load NV Dump ? (which tab in CDMA workshop) Do we need to unlock SPC (how) before we try loading PRL & NV Dump? How to put photon in DIAG Mode ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pulsar220 2 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 Update ok a little relief but problem is not sorted out! 1. Flashed back the stock 198_7 sbf. 2. After that the phone was stuck in booting, so did a full wipe from the stock recovery. 3. Now flashed the 198_7 sbf again. 4. Figured out the COM port busy issue and managed to connect the phone to CDMA WS/NV/QPST 5. Wrote the PRL onto the phone with CDMA WS and wrote the NV items using NV writer. 6. Rebooted the phone, it takes a lot of time for after boot in 'Contacting Network' and then says fails to enable network. 7. Now it shows network, but not able to call any where/send messages. Can someone tell me how do I figure out the MIN ? And in CDMA WS NAM tab the 'Dir_number' should be my number right? PS: COM port busy issue - The trick is to connect to the COM port immediately after the PC detects the phone, else the it will show COM port busy. And well there was no need to flash back old sbf, it was all working fine just had to figure out the working out of connected CDMA WS. PS2: In the custom rom dialer i.e. the MiUi rom, I was unable to get into the ##3282# mode. Any inputs on that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krispuniq 3 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 PS2: In the custom rom dialer i.e. the MiUi rom, I was unable to get into the ##3282# mode. Any inputs on that? ##3282# or ##DATA# usually works only in stock roms. For it to work on MIUI, you ll have to enable carrier codes by installing a script or copying your existing dialer codes scripts from /system in stock rom to the custom ROM. You can find some patch files shared on XDA which do this. I used such a patch for my fascinate. It should be there for photon as well. Google should help you with that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pulsar220 2 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 Biggg Update! - A HUGE shout out to Hetal bhai for his awesome awesome help! The phone connected back up to Reliance with his help - Another big Thank you to Krispuniq, MatriX1218 & akhileshril 1. After I had updated to stock SBF, PRL/NV update. The phone got activated with Hetal bhai's help. 2. Did the one click root. 3. Unlocked bootloader 4. Installed recovery, and then updated to joker's v3 recovery 5. Used the wipe all photon zip file, but that failed and after that the phone stopped booting. So did manual format for system, data, cache and dalvik cache. 6. Installed the MiUi ROM, twice as mentioned in the instructions And voila.. I have 'Ice Cold Sandwich' :D Ok I have one issue, well two infact! 1. File explorer can't detect my internal storage. I know this is off the context of the thread starting, but has anyone got any idea about how to fix this? I need to restore back all my apps 2. Background data is enabled where? After gingerbread can't find it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
