Absolutely amazing what i went thru.
OKay... here we go... I'll do my best to retrace my steps and explain why this all went down.

Somewhere along the line, everything in the Security field (in ##778#) AND M.IP Profile #1, #2, and #3 or whatever got lost, or changed or something. Most likely lost as i had alot of fields blank. Now.. from what i understand the information in the
AAA Shared Secret field is an encrypted figure that is generated by Bell... and impossible to recreate. The Username is simple, it is simply your ESN in HEX format.
It is these fields tat are required to be able to use the EVDO Data network.. PERIOD. This is done during boot up of your phone. if it doesn't pass, then your phone will automatically revert to 1X for all Data because it doesn't require any kind of Authentication (from what i understand) So here is what i did.....
I'll completely omit what i did first time, when i lost ALL data to get it back, as i'm not sure if it will cause any problems, and not be able to use EVDO as what happened with me...
Hammer in ##786#
Tap Menu Reset It will Prompt for MSL Enter MSL

Once your device boots back up,

Hammer in ##yourMSL#
MDN = your9 digit Cell Number
MSID = your 9 digit Cell number
Home SID/NID#1 = 16420 / 65535 (I believe this is for Ontario, and i think that if you call any bell store or CS they will easily give you the SID for your province pretty easily, but i could be wrong, it could be the same across the whole country, this worked for me tho and i'm in NS, i'm going to switch it to 16390 because that is what is on my wifes phone)

MENU/then OK

NOW.. I would HIGHLY recommend ONLY following this procedure if you are using a stock Bell ROM and Radio, and of course on the Bell Canada network. I'm only saying this because its what i was using. If anybody tries this method using a Custom rom to regain EVDO, or Data PERIOD, or using another network please share your experiences here so others can learn..
I definitely learned something from this experience... Just not sure what yet.. LOL Now.. back to the 3.37 radio and my own cooked ROM.. LOL That will keep me busy for the next hour or so...
I sure hope this experience and repair job helps somebody else out.

I found out that getSPC.exe gets the MSL # for HTC

Here is an other tool (maybe the same) to get an MSL #

I found this usefull site for SID# http://www.mountainwireless.com/prl/vz_50855.shtml
16420 [D] RM Bell Mobility - Montreal QC / Toronto ON
16408 [D] RM Aliant Mobility - Saint John NB
16414 [D] RM Aliant Mobility - St John's NF
16390 [D] RM Aliant Mobility - Halifax NS
16430 [D] RM Aliant Mobility - Charlottetown PE

After going through all the steps in this tread. I wasn't able to re-activate my 1X&EVDO connection to the Internet. My userid and password field where leading me nowhere. I called Aliant/Bell tech support. A HARD RESET fixed my problem. No activation/configuration required. I now have Internet connection EVDO on my Palm Treo Pro with Windows 6.1 Pro (SE CE 5.2.20765.1.4.4).

I lost everything in my phone, but I only had it for 1 week hehe. My Internet is back!!!

dmmode is ##3424#

[iwassean]

Thank you, that worked perfectly!. The SID that I'm using for alberta is 16384. Cheers!

Grashoper, congratulations on getting it to work and detailing a fix for the rest of us.
In your journeys did you ever flash the stock Bell ROM to your phone and was your radio at 3.xx level? Want to know since there is talk of problems with downloading Radio code

Yep... two Sundays ago, is when i noticed my Data wasn't working at all.. It would just stick on the Dialing screen and stay there forever. At that point I was on the 3.37.10 Radio and a cooked rom i made myself with ppckitchen frying pan.. . i took a look a round some settings but didn't do much of anything.. I Immediately threw the .40 unlocker on it, and went back to the stock Rom that i found on UTStar.com And it still didn't do anything at all. from there i started my frantic episodes of staying up til midnight every night almost trying i swear 14,000 different things.. I'd never even come close to being able to remember even 1/3 of the things i tried lol. Thats why i just posted what I finally found to work.
And yes.. soon as I flashed back to stock rom, it put the original 1.59.10a radio on as well.


EDIT- So i just realized i never really did answer your question accurately. NO. I have never tried stick ROM with anything other than the stock 1.59.10a radio. Would be cool to try it tho. Maybe next week.

[grashoper]

Okay. the last couple hours i actually took a break and sipped on a couple beers.
I just finished installing the 2.31 unlocker, and threw the origional Sprint leaked ROM file name is RUU_Vogue_4350_PPST_SpeciallNBH_SPRINT_WWE_3.02.65 1.2_Radio_435011_3.37.15_AM_NV_SPCS_1.33_0823_Test .exe
Sorry i can't remember which thread i got it from, but i can't see it being to hard to find, i thnk its was called the Origional Leaked Sprint ROM or something like that. It is the 3.37.15 radio. And of course i didn't let the customization run because i'm on Bell. I know it sounds funny, but i actually think i'm going to stay put for a while. I'm finding the latest 3.02 kitchen has been to difficult to get along with, and i'm used to the look and feel of it. Although i do like the Vista theme and plugins, only problem is it has a crush on the tip of the stylus and i like using my fingers.. Everything i use is either already here, or i already have the CAB file. Going to install GMaps here in a few minutes and go outside to get some air and try out the GPS. Chow..

[grashoper]

Well.... everything seems to be working absolutely perfect... I installed 9 pieces of software that i like to use, and did some customizing of backgrounds and colors and stuff. GMaps is working fine, GPS Today screen thing works fantastic. locks on in about 2-3 minutes or so. I did the Regedit thing and changed the value to 4 going to retest when off work.
Only thing that kinda sucks is TCPMP refuses to load up after i installed it which is kinda strange... can't find an answer as to why... anybody know??
Other than that everything is working beautifully... oh yeah.. REV. a is def working, 978kbps bandwidth on mobilespeedtest.com chow for now
