iamrafic 85 Report post Posted January 7, 2015 ^ You mentioned you got new SIM, did you reactivate EVDO? Yes, Its activated. Atleast 1x should work , but its not working. When I enable data i'm getting "Unable to establish wireless data connection". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamrafic 85 Report post Posted January 8, 2015 On LG tribute and lg volt reliance OMH sim other than RGERUC series works Hi Pritam, I used the cropped MICRO SIM, it says Invalid CARD. But pre cut micro SIM works perfectly. Any additional things need to be done for cropped sims. And What needs to be done for EVDO.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

varkey 51 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 So I got the Tribute in my hands, set the mode to RuimOnly and the calls/SMS started working. But I'm getting the same message as @iamrafic when enabling data. Btw it is a cut RUIM not a micro sim issued by RIM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iamrafic 85 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 @Varkey, Yesterday I bought a new precut micro sim from Reliance store. Even that sim also not working with data. Not even 1x. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varkey 51 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 So I got the Tribute in my hands, set the mode to RuimOnly and the calls/SMS started working. But I'm getting the same message as @iamrafic when enabling data. Btw it is a cut RUIM not a micro sim issued by RIM. Looks like I got data working finally, using the same cut sim. I don't know what exactly fixed it, but I played around with QPST and DFS without the RUIM inserted, made couple of changes. Inserted the RUIM and restarted, and data just worked. Summary of the changes 1. Changed the NV MCC MNC to 404 00 2. Disabled Sprint Mobile IP profiles and created a new one and activated with NAI as NET 3. Changed NV Mode to SimpleIP But the problem now is that the handsfree activation message keeps popping up, I have to switch to Airplane mode and back to remove it. Any ideas on disabling it permanently? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
