Re: CDMA not working in india

There's a key in the registry that can disable the canvas. Easier than reflashing. I found it earlier, by searching the registry for "phone" strings.

I searched Registry for canvas disable. Nothing found except for VOIPCalls.

HKEY_Local_Machine/Security/Phone/Skin/Enabled
Set it to 0 and it should disable the LG skin.

Dear pizzaboy192
Thanks for your technical help, After your reg edit, LGE phone canvas gone. But it is still giving a popup screen that Activation is not available, after dialing *228.
Any way thanks

Re: CDMA not working in india

Thank you hero121 & Pizzaboy for extending technical help.

For What?

Yes, I have activated Reliance Number in my LG Fathom.
I feel a great success. May be I am the first person to
activate LG Fathom to an Non-Verizon CDMA Network.
May be this method be used for other networks.

The Last struggle, even after MEID Registrartion with Reliance, is
"Your Device could not be activated. Please contact customer Care"
After hours & hours of searching I found that
the main culprit for this problem is "eri.bin" file in NV Memory.

I used QPST. Using EFS Explorer in QPST Configuration,
I deleted eri.bin file in eri folder.

Once this file is deleted, restrarted phone.
I used GSK, dialled *228, input 9 digit pin Number.

After sometime, Reliance voice said
"Your device is activated. Your Phone Number is xxxxxxxxxx"
After 4 hours of activation now I am able to use Reliance CDMA Network.

One month struggle came to an end.

Thanks again hero121, for uploading ROM without LGCanvas.

Thanks to all helped me to achieve this success directly or indirectly.

I will post the steps to be followed, tomorrow.

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)
