Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

I recently bought a Touch Pro2 off Alltel that is Sprint Branded but was claimed to be "thoroughly and completely switched over to Alltel". Well the process on getting it up and running for Alltel wasn't as simple as I'd like. I finally have voice and text messaging up and running after I get Alltel to activate the phone and I changed a few settings in EPST. However, I am only getting 1X data, am always under "Digital Roaming", and cannot send MMS Messages. I've updated the PRL many times but that hasn't helped at all.

The seller told me that "The digital roaming has to do with your PRI number". I haven't found anything when searching on how to update this and/or change it.

I did however find some helpful threads for Flashing a Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel specifically these posts in the thread:

Should I just apply these settings to my TP2 or is that the complete opposite direction on what I need to do. Hopefully Conflipper himself can help me.

I'm pretty good with flashing ROMs and everything I've owned an Alltel Treo Pro as well as a Touch Diamond in the past. I'd really appreciate any help or ideas

Thanks

I think conflipper is busy fighting off HTC right now!

Yeah I saw that on his Twitter... probably won't be getting a response from him anytime soon. But I just wish I could figure this out.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

yes, you have to do the stuff in those links for your data and mms to work.

as far as it saying digital roaming, i think that's just cosmetic, but here's my suggestions.
what prl's have you tried?
i would install a verizon prl and see if that gets rid of it. just download a verizon tp2 stock rom and extract it and you'll see a ppst...cab, then install it on you phone and go to the windows folder and click on the ppst.exe file.

there's also a post in here somewhere that someone put a vzw tp2 on alltel and provided info on it.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

I will try that do you have any info on how to change the Alltel MMSC settings?

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

go to your text message inbox, click menu, mms options

so, what prl's have you tried?

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

I used The Answerman's website to download the PRLs and tried 31000 31003 41000 41003 (My Alltel is divested). I changed the MMSC settings and I've got MMS working so I'm making progress.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

please tell me your PRI version and PRL version

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

Currently I am using the 1.42_003 PRI and the 41000 PRL. I just found this thread and this post. Is this what I need to do? http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=888469

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

Well who ever sold you the device didnt change the PRI, your not on a VZW pri which is your issue


Install this and then run the ppst shortcut in the start menu and reboot

you may need to install the 41000 prl again after this.

also dial ##RTN# or ##RTN + Talk, what ever works this will initiate a radio reset so back up your data.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

Thanks Mr. X I appreciate it. Only problem when I do ##RTN# (##786#) nothing happens the TP2 just treats it as if it is a normal phone call.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

try ##RTN then talk
we need to do a radio reset so the pri can populate your NVM with the correct connection info.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

Neither input messages worked. I just Googled it and found this quote

is there any other way to reset?

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

try ##778 and tell me if you have sprint crap in your mip profile

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

Nope... still Alltel.net however, the digital roaming went away but the data still isn't that great and calls are easily dropped. I checked the settings and the PRI did change though.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

alright put the altel PRI back on

then do a hard reset and hopefully you're good to go. this being a world phone RTN doesn't appear to be working.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

I should have been more specific... the PRI is the one that you gave me the 2.08_002. After loading that on is that all I can do since the RTN doesn't work? I'm clueless as to why I can't get EVDO and only 1x. I changed the PRL again and still nothing.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

Well its not authenticating on the evdo network.

Do a hard reset and pull your battery and hope that it authenticates now with the correct pri since you're no longer digitally roaming

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

I hate to bump this but I thought I had MMS working... I can send messages. But I can't receive them. I've changed my MMS settings but I still couldn't receive. Anyway, I found this post and thought that may be a fix. Unfortunately, step 1 wouldn't install in a different thread I found that it wasn't 100% necessary to uninstall MMS so I continued to step 2 that installed. Then step 3 didn't install so I gave up. The only difference is in the Connect via tab Alltel Wireless now exists. I don't understand why I can send but every time I receive a MMS Message it says Failed to Download.

Thanks

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

it would help if you tell us what you have for your mms settings so that we know if something is wrong there.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro2 on Alltel Digital Roaming
 

I keep getting an error that says:

"MMS Notification
The client must first authenticate itself with the proxy."

When I try to send a MMS message.

And when I receive one I get the same Failed to retrieve the message notification.
