Re: CDMA not working in india
 

No need to know all these things. Once you activated your phone, everything will be pushed to your phone over Air.

Well, I paid in advance. He will finish the work within a week's time.


You need not change anything except inputting AKey

Thanks for spotting & rectifying the problem.

And Hero121, I have following questions.

1) Is it file eri.bin, ROM Related? can we remove this file from ROM itself?
2) Just restarting phone is not problem. But Hard Resetting or Flashing another ROM deletes all the
data (uploaded by Reliance). Is it possible to avoid these things while creating ROM?

Dear headhair,

Since when
I came to know about the eri.bin file, I am also thinking and searching any way to permanently fix the eri.bin file. Because in windows mobile Hard reset is common practice. This is only one problem. I have searched every where in my kitchen rom but still did not find yet. The eri.bin file is in database file of phone but we have search it for its location. Let us think about it, how to the eri.bin file could be fixed in rom then our goal will be 100% success. I am also searching a way to fix this.
Thanks
Another matter is I have paid the amount to the bank account of tarun Kabra the vendar for registration MEID.
Now I have to wait for a week for further progress of my phone. As per you I have deleted the eri.bin file with your software.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

ERI.bin file is nothing to do with Hard Resetting. Eri.bin file restricts the activation of Networks other than Verizon. I think it is in the NV Memory. Once deleted from Memory, even after flashing, it does not appear again.

Hard resetting is the main problem. I would like to know what happens to the actual Verizon User when Hard Resetting & What is the procedure used to restore Network parameters.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Dear headhair
I think the original user would not need to restore network parameter as CDMA number is built in by factory default set to set change the network number. So After hard resetting nothing affect on their default setting. I have deleted the eri.bin file and checked after hard reset its came again.
Dear I am attaching original eri.bin file of v7 rom you may see in hex editor, if you can do with this then we will make a rom with this eri so that after hard reset it will be as usual as before.`

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Dear Hero121,
I have already checked eri.bin file. Nothing is to be changed.
But I donot know why it blocks other network registration.

There is a registry key in to disable eri.bin ( Search with string "eri.bin" )
Whether this will help us instead of deleting this file.

I am searching for other ways.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

[QUOTE=headhair;2171349]Dear Hero121,
After hours & hours of searching I found that
the main culprit for this problem is "eri.bin" file in NV Memory.


Dear headhair

You have mentioned that eri.bin file is in NV memory. I found it but not in NVM it is in QPST explorer but not in the NVM folder of QPST exlplorer. Please clarify it.
2. I will search it in registry so that can be disable as mentioned in your last post.
Thanks,
My money has been received by vendor for MEID regn. Let me see when my MEID get registered to reliance.

Dear I also want to know about EVDO User ID & PW , What is the use of it. Is it for 3G activation or any other thing, I do not know, I have asked you because Mr. Tarun Kabra had replied in his mail as (Charges for MEID Regn is Rs. 500/- per MEID. That includes Akey, EVDO User ID & PW also)
So please explain what will I do with that use id and Password ?
Please reply,
Thanks

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Let me explain after some searching.

EVDO, or Evolution Data Only/Evolution Data Optimized, is a 3G mobile broadband technology used by Verizon, Sprint, and Alltel that provides typical download speeds of 600-1400kbps (with bursts up to 3100kbps). HSPA is another 3G technology that is used by AT&T and T-Mobile. 4G is the next generation of mobile broadband technology, but it's not as widely available as 3G service yet - Sprint uses a 4G technology called WiMAX that is currently being deployed, and Verizon will be deploying a 4G network using a technology called LTE in late 2010.

Simply EVDO is one part of advanced technology under 3G. Please note that Reliance is offering EVDO in some areas.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Dear headhair

Thanks for reply and share your knowledge,

I have searched eri bin in registry file of rom and found only eri and eri text string only shown below. but I have also attached the complete one reg file in which I have some where edited while making rom.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"EmergencyTone"=dword:00000000
"CallDisconnect"=dword:00000000
"CallConnect"=dword:00000000

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

I agree that eri.bin is not part of NV item.

But after searching registry, there is an entry that eri.bin is located in
\windows\ folder. If it is correct, we could remove this in ROM itself.

I do not know whether changing Registry Key(Disabling Eri.bin) will allow registration of Reliance.

3) Please get 26 digit AKey for your mobile (That's very important) from whom you registered MEID

Dear headhair
I need your help as My MEID has been got registered with reliance. I have checked with by sms from a another CDMA set and its replied the same as you have mentioned in your post. But the Akey he has provided to me is 25 digit.
I have put the pin after dialing 2539** but it say it is invalid.
He has provided two key Dec Akey, (25 digit)Hex Akey. (16 digit)
I have also wrote to the provider of Akey.
Here I dialed *228 its get connected and says please enter your 9 digit pin number.
But now I have no GSK kit at present. To morrow I will go to reliance web at my city.
Here I want to know what is the wrong with me
When I have to put Akey ? or the pin given by him is wrong or one digit less.
I have tried putting all two keys.but invalid.
Please reply
***
Dear again I want to inform you that provider of Akey has accepted his fault as typing error and provide me a corrected 26 digit Akey. I again put the new key after dialing 2539** and it is accepted by the set because it did not said that the key is invalid. If I am not wrong I have only to go reliance web for a nine digit pin for a new CDMA number for working of my CDMA section of my phone.
I also want to know If I format/hard reset the phone can we again reprogram to work CDMA like at present we are doing with same number key and etc.?
Thanks for your tough efforts in this regard.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

You have put Akey before you activate Reliance.(*228 dialing)

Please save your NV using LGNPST or QPST once after you activated Reliance. For activation you need reprogram any SPC parameters. Everything will be pushed over phone.

If you have NV, you can reformat, reflash. Restore NV & use reliance as usual

And one more thing.

MEID, MIN & AKey all should be correct to connect to the carrier. If you know these things, you can reprogram manually, without need of NV.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Dear headhair
Thanks for soon reply,
To day I went to reliance centre not web (reliance web is at Ranchi, Jharkhand, India which is about 120KM from my place ) he told me now no gsk kit is coming. then I have requested to transfer a new number, first he told me it is not possible so many people came and this is not accepted by your phone. Lastly he agree to to paste new number and I Purchased a new CDMA sim from there and he told me to come to morrow because system update will take 24 hours.
Now I will go to morrow and let me see what is happening with my phone.
Another thing I made a new rom by editing the reg. for eri.bin file, but After doing hard reset it again came eri.bin file in eri folder of QPST.
I am attaching both file. Original = [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Qualcomm\RIL\ERI]
"Enabled"=dword:1
"Algorithm"=dword:1
"DataFileName"="\\Windows\\eri.bin"
edited below:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Qualcomm\RIL\ERI]
"Enabled"=dword:0
"Algorithm"=dword:0
"DataFileName"="\\Windows\\eri.bin"
underline is deleted

After disable the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Qualcomm\RIL\ERI a new thing came on screen is as folows:
NAM1 seen written on left corner of the screen in CDMA mode, I change the dword value to its original i.e. (1)
NMAM1 It got vanished.
I do not justify is it will help for eri.bin active or deactive ?
In my city I have problem in getting nine digit pin number, In the absence of nine digit pin I have to depend on the CC personal of reliance center. If I got nine digit pin number then in case of failure I can re activate after searching the faults like you.


thanks

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Dear hero121,

Please donot hardreset (or) flash New ROM until your phone is activated with reliance. This is my humble request.
If you have hard reset, please
1) Delete Eri.bin file from your phone using QPST
2) Input your akey again.
3) Till activation donot test anything. Once activated, please backup your NV.
4) For safety, Note down MEID, AKey and MIN in a separate paper.

I am also eagerly waiting for your Reliance Activation

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Thanks for your suggestions:
So many testings I have done So,
Again I have uploaded its Previous Rom. with your 1X prl send by you.
Without any further editing/testing.
1. Again I have put 26 digit pin.
2. Deleted eri.bin file from eri folder with QPST
After dialing in cdma or GSM mode it is saying please put you 9 digit pin number from you reliance guide.
Now I will not do any thing till he put my number in the set to morrow.
Thanks

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Thanks.
If you buy gsk, they will give your the phone number (it is called paper sim) along with 9 digit pin number for activating that phone number.

You can yourself change reliance number from one set from another using HCC (handset change card). That's also a 9 digit pin number.

Nowadays, both are not available with Reliance. So we have to go to Reliance Store to change the number. In case you need not input 9 digit pin number. They will automatically transfer number from RUIM Sim to your handset.
So, please wait.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Dear headhair

Thanks and very very thanks to you,
To day I went reliance center and they put my new number and after short while I dialed *228 after some music my phone got activated with reliance CDMA, Now I have checked outgoing/incoming SMS and Call all are working
I am very also very happy with this. This is all for your effort and guide without your guide It was not possible.
Now I have to know how to protect it so in future if any problem arises and if any hard reset or rom flashing is needed . We would not have to reliance centre.
Thanks again.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Very Happy hero121.

Do Not Hart Reset.
First Backup your NV.
Note MIN from the Phone.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Dear headhair

I will not do hard reset. earlier it was my practice to do hard reset. But now I have got some thing valuable.
I have backed .nvs file through LGNPST.
Regarding MIN it is not seen in phone system display. Will I have to find with by secret code, Or it is in NVS file.

In nvs file there is MIN 1 with seven digit number. MIN2 is three digit number

system NAM2 side:
MIN2 is also three digit
I could not understand which one has to be noted, But I have noted all in a plain Paper also

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

MIN is simply MIN1+MIN2.

Use QPST->Service Programming, You can see the MIN number. Have NV backup from QPST also.

I already told you, if you have NV backup after activation, you can hard reset & Flash the phone. To get back the Reliance, restore NV(with Reliance). That's all. No problem.

One more question hero121.
What happens if you dial *228 now?

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Dear headhair

At present means after activated, dialing *228 the same matter speaks as before like welcome sound of reliance, request to put number for language selection and lastly enter your 9 digit pin number mentioned in your user guide.
I have an another CDMA working set with Sim card Slot, and if I dial *228 in that set it also say the same thing please inter your 9 digit pin number.
Thanks

Dear one question, I know how to restore NVS from LGNPST software but I am not fully aware with QPST So I do not know how to restore although I will see the software in details, but please tell me details in how to backup nv through QPST. My QPST is 2.7 built 366
Again thanks

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Dear headhair

I am missing you perhaps you are busy now.
Here I want to know from you that I again want to flash my rom with some software deleting/inserting/correction in the rom.
1. I have backup my .nvs file from LGNPST, If I again re flash the rom what will I have to do again to come back to reliance CDMA working condition.?
2. Is is compulsory to backup NVS by QPST also, for re flash ROM with LGNPST.?
As you have re flash the phone after activated reliance so Please help me to avoid mistake.
Thanks in Advance.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Sorry for the late reply. I had to shift my house to new location.

I thought dialing *228 will restore settings, once it is activated.


Yes. I have flased ROM many times. Once you restore NV you can use Reliance as usual.

To Restore NVs using LGNPST go to
LGNPST Menu->Data->Data Recovery. From there you chose your backed-up NV file.


No. Only for the safety. That's all.
I feel it is easier to work with QPST than LGNPST for Service Programming. Open QPST Service Programming, backup NV.

Yes QPST 2.7 is enough. Start QPST Configuration. From there select port & select Mobile.
From Start Clients menu, select Service Programming.

Read details from Phone(Read From Phone button) & Save it to file(Save to File Button).

To restore, select Load from file (Load From File Button)-> write to Phone(Write to phone button).

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Dear headhair

Thanks
Yesterday I had flashed with LGNPST, Got success Nothing problem, after flashing it is working normally.
Thanks again

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Happy hero121.

We have to find a way to retain settings even after Hard Reset.
Let's find a way.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Dear headhair

Have you hard reset ?
What is expected after hard reset ?
Is our MIN ,MCCID, MNCID, will lost ?

One thing I have already tested before activation of rim,that the eri.bin file is being recovered after hardreset.
And still we have not get any solution of this.
Thanks
If you have seen in details with QPST there is CDMA and again cdma 2
In cdma there is or rim MIN, In cdma 2 there is original MIN

hi to all i have unlocked lg fathom i tried to update it to version 7 with kp500 utility after completing 94% it shows error and now my phone is sticked to emergency download ( downloading do not unplug) mode in LGPNST it shows unknown device at com3 how can i cure it also it shows only 1 dll file version2 i think.. what i should do please tell me
thankyou

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Yes I hard resetted the device after activating Reliance.
Everything replaced. MDN, MIN, MCCID, MNCID values became default. Even Akey is also lost.

I think these default values are stored in somewhere, may be in a dll file. We have to find out which file or data these values are stored in ROM. If we could find this, we can change values to suite our mobile & create a separate ROM, so that if we hard reset, it is possible to restore correct values itself.

I Hope there may be some solution.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Dear headhair
I am also agree with you, let us try and try to find any solution.
Thanks

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Which form of Hard Reset are you using?
If you're doing the one in the phone (Settings > System > Memory > Hard Reset\Factory Reset) then it will wipe your activation too.
If you're doing a hard reset where you reset the phone while holding the C button on the keyboard (Possibly the FN key too, haven't really had a need to hard reset in a long time) it will save your activation information.
If doing the hardware reset via the keyboard ends up clearing your activation, then there is probably a setting somewhere with default values. Find that file\registry key and you can bake your own custom ROM with your own values easily.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Thanks pizzaboy for the idea.

That's what we are searching for. Registry doesn't contain old values. Nor any dll file.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Dear Headhair,

I am struggling to get the CDMA for reliance activated on my LG Fathom.. and I need help from you..

I have the v7 rom in my phone.
1. I got the MEID registered through the 3rd party as suggested in previous threads. (I used to get reliance welcome message much before I opted for this step)
2. I got all the details as committed by 3rd party.
3. I updated the AKEY.
4. I got the GSK also from reliance web world. They have activated the same in their system.
5. Now when I dial *228, it gives me a welcome message from reliance, but I was unable to select the language coz my keypad did not accept any digit to enable me to select a language. ( the welcome message says, to continue in english please press 1, but the phone does not accept 1 despite multiple attempts.)
6. I replaced the lgedialparser.dll in \Windows folder on the phone. Still same situation as in step 5.
7. Use EFS explorer and deleted the eri.bin file, restarted the phone and tried again. Still same situation as in step 5.
8. Deleted eri.bin from \Windows folder, restarted the phone and tried again. Still same situation as in step 5. Note that after restarting the phone, eri.bin file again appears in \Windows folder on the phone
9. Finally I resorted to a factory default. Now the phone gives me a message "Activation not available". Note that even before I opted for registering the MEID with 3rd party, I used to get "welcome to reliance" message. So I assume, Factory reset did not screw up anything.
10. One more thing that I noted in the phone when put to CDMA mode is, earlier in the band tab it used to show me 3 options Home only, Automatic A and Automatic B. But after factory reset I can see only Home Only and Automatic.

Please advice, I am desperate to have CDMA activated, else gonna loose 1000 Rs. (500 for MEID activation and 500 Webstore took from as security deposit +initial balance)

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Hi crkmenon,

The problem may be due to V7 ROM.

I am using v5 Rom & Modified the lgedialparser.dll file.
Please downgrade your ROM to V5 (or) please copy
lgedialparser.dll from your phone's windows directory
(please note that this is hidden file) & upload somewhere.
I will modify the file for you.

Hope to see you activated to reliance very soon.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Hi Headhair,

I downgraded the rom to v5. downloaded from media fire.

After the downgrade, I updated the AKey, replaced the lgedialparser.dll,updated the PRL. now I am able to connect to reliance, i get the welcome message and after I press 1 to select the language it says "sorry your phone could not be activated. please contact reliance customer care." I took the phone to reliance web world from where I bought the GSK. The customer care told me that I need to get the RSN unlocked from LG which I am sure LG in India cannot/will not do for me. One RSN is released is when reliance can put the number for me post activation. I have checked my MEID registration and I see the expected positive result from reliance. (just to make sure my MEID was registered.)

I am back home and checked again for eri.bin. the file does not exist in ERI folder when i check through EFS explorer. But I do see the file in \Windows folder and every time I delete it comes immediately without even waiting for any reboot.

Any clue what is to be done ? Appreciate your help.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Please let me clear.
when you get the message? After you press 1 (or) after
inputting 9 digit pin
Have you checked the status of your MEID using 53733?

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

it comes after pressing 1 to select english as the language. Does not prompt to enter the pin. I checked the MEID number by sending SMS from customer care executive's phone. It confirmed the MEID by stating " can be used with prepaid GSK, postpaid GSK and HCC". HCC I understand from your previous threads is not valid anymore or provided by reliance. I bought a postpaid GSK. I argued with the customer care that my MEID is registered with reliance, but she kept insisting that I need to get the MEID unlocked from LG.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Please try manual settings.

Browse for file
hiddenmenu.exe
(Hidden file)
\windows\ folder.
Run that file

You will be prompted to enter spc.
Enter 000000 (six Zeros)

Select Service prg
Change
MDN=<Your Reliance Mobile Number-10 digits>
MIN=<Your Reliance Mobile Number-10 digits>
HomeSID=14655

Select more
change
Mcc=404

CDMA homeSid/Nid as below
index=0
sid=14655
Nid=65535

Save. Phone itself will restart. Wait

After restarting try your registration. & reply.

Actually I didnot have this type of hurdles.

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

I have done this already.. still tried once again and again the same message. "your phone could not be....."

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Hi,

Finally I got my phone working with reliance CDMA. I tried all I could on my phone.. finally spoke to the 3rd party who registered the MEID. he confidently said issue is from reliance end not my phone and asked me to contact another reliance web world. finally I wrote to customer care over email, they asked for details like the MEID/RSN number, the Sr. No on the MDN/reliance GSK. I tried today and got the message to enter the 9 digit pin and then in next few seconds, i got the message your phone is activated... I guess the issue was that when I went to buy the GSK, the webworld staff did not ask for MEID number on my phone. and hence the phone number was not mapped to MEID on their system, which I strongly believe was then done by the remote customer care team. This is something the 3rd party MEID registrant also told me, stating my number has not been retained against my MEID.

well finally I am happy to use CDMA.. next challenge is to get the +91 prefix working and sending SMS... I have already changed the regional settings to United Kingdom. this was long tested, so did not drill my brain so far and just changed the settings to united kingdom. and having outbound calls prefixed with 009198xxxxxxxx.. sms does not go.. so have to remove the +91 and prefix 0... will work on this issue and let all know how to fix this.

I thank you headhair/ hero121/pizzaboy for all info shared in this forum to help get CDMA activated on LG fathom...

Re: CDMA not working in india
 

Hi crkmenon

I am happy that you have activated Reliance CDMA.
