Re: Rhodium_W Stock Rom Thread [Telus VZW SPCS USC] UPDATE 1/15/10
Please forgive my ignorance.
I am looking to perform my first flash on my Verizon TP2 but I just want to be sure that I can restore to its exact original condition in regards to the ROM just in case I had to return it to them. So, in looking through the net it seems that the backing up or "dumping" to use I think the correct term, of my existing ROM in a easy to restore format is not so easy so I gather it would be easer to use the one available here but I did have one question regarding this. In looking at all the numbers listed for the Verizon one, most of them coincides with mine except that my two PRL version numbers are 1.65_002 and 51730. Now here comes the really ignorant part, I understand what the 51730 number is but just to ask, is the 1.65_002 on mine kind of an area code? In other words, since the one available here is 1.65_0811, is that just because it was dumped from a phone in a different part of the country? So if I were to re-flash mine with this 1.65_0811 one, would just a simple *228 to Verizon restore this to the 1.65_002 one? Also, do I have to be on the Verizon network to do this? The reason I ask is, I plan to get rid of Verizon and go with someone else, so does anyone know what would happen to that PRL number of I dialed *228 after that? I guess what I’m asking is, is the *228 dial in update type of service only specific to Verizon or pretty much do all the carriers have something like this? Thanks for any help Edit: I apologize for the above as I finally got a closer look at things and I guess what I thought was the term PRL is actually PRI, which in what little I can find on the net is possibly even more specific to a area? At any rate, I'm even more confused now as I don't think that will be changed from a *228 update and from what I've read may be very specific to a area and could really hurt my reception of a lot of things if don't have the right one. So could anyone help enlighten me on this? Thanks Thanks Last edited by WBFAir; 01-16-2010 at 11:20 AM. |

As for the PRI, if you change the PRI it changes the towers the radio in the device connects to. for example if you want to switch a Sprint Device to Verizon, you would flash a Verizon PRI on it. then when you dial *228 it will connect to the VZW network for activation. But when you flash another carriers pri you must use there PRL (preferred roaming list) as well or your device will complain about roaming all the time. the PRL is also needed to ensure your data services work. with all of this said. even though you get the device fully ready to go for the other network. does not mean they will activate it. |

For give me for being confused Mr. X but maybe I can just ask simple question.
If my Verizon PRI is ver 1.65_002 and I put on yours ver 1.65_0811. What will happen? |

Re: Rhodium_W Stock Rom Thread [Telus VZW SPCS USC] UPDATE 1/15/10
Only use PRI that comes with your carrier.
Mr. X is on Telus, you are on Verizon, I would use the one that is in the MR1 upgrade rom. Do not put much notice into the PRI file versions. |

Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough
With my Verizon TP2 with a 6.1 ROM that currently has a PRI of 1.65_002, if I flash it with the stock “Verizon” 6.1 one that you have listed that has all the same Device ID stuff listed except for the PRI being 1.65_0811 What will happen? |
