?change phones carrier id in the low level system?

[GnatGoSplat]

Flashing to the latest Alltel ROM, 3.35.671.9 and then doing a *228 and pressing 3 removed the roaming indicator on my phone.

However, it does not show the Alltel banner... the banner area is just blank on both the home screen and phone screen.

!!!UPDATE!!!

Yep me too,,, I had used mtty to change the phone cid to ALLTE001 and tried to flash the first alltel rom to the phone,, but it still roamed....

Now I went ahead and downloaded the latest rom that alltel put out and after doing an otap the phone is no longer roaming,,,,,

conclusion????

the first alltel rom may not have had what it took to sufficiantly overwrite the information,,, that was causing the phone to still think it was qwest...

but with the new alltel rom having a new radio/platform im sure that that is the reason that it would overwrite pretty much everything,,,,

I am guessing that the custom roms that have been cooked out there, they are set with carrier settings, but they are lacking one vital piece of information that needs to be flashed into the phone... if we can figure out what it is.. then were golden...

Gents:

Is there a VZW equivalent of *2283? My 6800 has the solid roaming indicator and it says Preferred System across it. *2281 fails but *2282 loads and reboots to no avail. VZW tech support are sending me a new phone, but I still think I can get this fixed. I did load the 3.49 Sprint ROM and let the customizations go through, so that is why this is happening. I have since flashed back to the 5067 kitchen with VZW.

since the OP resolved his issue (long ago) i think its safe to shut this bad boy down.
