Re: Alltel TP to Verizon. one big problem...data. Please help
OK! I just took searching to a new level. FYI, PPCgeeks has no info at all in the touch pro forums on how to update the ERI. There is mention of the ERI and that it does exist but thats about it. A bunch of members saying update it. So of course I checked with the guys over at howardforums, XDADevelopers, and even the new mobilefiles and finally found it! And I'll even tell you kind people how to update it on these phones because no-one else has on ppcgeeks at all (trust me, I searched with every combo of keywords on ppcgeeks search).
So its simple: updating the ERI can be done two ways one better than the other. Get your ERI.bin file and then do a ##ERI or ##ERI# or ##ERI send (whichever one works for you just like updating the PRL) then you'll get into EPST after you enter in the lock code and then navigate to the folder you put the ERI.bin file into, select it, and then OK and it updates and resets. I've been told sometimes it doesn't actually work, So use QPST. Then navigate to the ERI folder, and drop the ERI.bin file into there. That will work.
And the DMU which I didn't find much info on. Drop the "10.key" file into the DMU folder like the ERI file.
Ok so now its got all verizon software and radios and everything. Reset the phone and notice the ERI banner is gone or it says Verizon Wireless instead and disregard the word "alltel" on the top right of the phone because it is now a 100% Verizon Network Raphael 800 phone. After you get the phone to receive its secret keys in epst by A: giving it time or B: getting the phone into 1x mode and having it log onto the data network (Either way will take a few tries for the phone to get them, be patient) the Data part of the phone will now work, and if you happen to have the same radio and what-not like my phone does, chances are the GPS will get a lock on 10 satellites or more in under 10 seconds.
Everything works, everything is verizon... on a (Altell) Touch Pro Raphael 800 with all its real potential like the Touch Pro should have been from verizon.
Thank you Courtney1985 for at least leaving a reply.
PS, I seriously thought about not attaching these files because none of them were found on ppcgeeks but instead I give thanks to xdadevelopers, Howard Forums, and my favorite anything goes site; MobileFiles. Here they are, I consider these files the missing link because everything worked after these were installed and happen to be the least talked about files that make the biggest difference for everything else on the phone as far as porting it to a different carrier:
DMU>10.key
ERI>VZW
PRI>2.01 VZW
Thank you ppcg for having some good links to roms and what-not.
