##eri not working?

[3liter914-6]

Hi folks,

Just converted a Sprint Mogul over to an XV6800, and after 2 days of a everything PPCgeeks crash course, I've gotten it working pretty smoothly. Right now I still have the roaming indicator, and my searching tells me that I need to load a new ERI.

The problem is the dang thing won't let me bring up the eri update screen. I've tried ##eri and ##eri#. Tried both + talk also with no luck. I'm running the Sprint official 3.35 rom & whatever radio came with it, so I'm not sure if the code changed, and eri is too short to work in the search. Anyone know how I can get the ERI window open? ##prl# and every other code I've tried seems to work, so I dunno what's going on here.

Thanks for any help.

It sounds like you need to load the right PRL.

I don't think that's it, as I loaded a VZW PRL, and then when I OTAP'd my phone it also DL'd a PRL.

I'm still not sure what the deal is...

I did end up gettting the ##eri working, by flashing a DCD rom to the phone.

I still can't get the actual ERI file to load though, either by putting it in the ERI folder in bitpim, or through the ##eri interface.

So can anyone tell me how to change the ERI?

I tried using the file is this thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20090

and one I pulled off of my Moto Q, but with no luck.

I do the ##eri, throw the 0's in there for the spc, and click "edit", browse to the file on my card, and then select and "OK". It gives me the pinwheel then errors out.

Does this file need to be treated specially somehow? Can I not copy it in windows? It's really an annoyance that something that seems so easy on the 6700s is this much of a PITA for me.

i believe you need to write it using qpst or cdma workshop on your pc, not via windows mobile ui.
i do not have them installed here to reference but i will try to remember to check for you.

I looked through all the screens, and couldn't find a place in CDMA workshop that mentions ERI. Maybe it's there in a newer or fuller version?

I forgot to mention I've tried QPST also. The /ERI dir on my Mogul is empty when viewed from QPST or BitPim. I've tried copying the file I have (eri.bin from the thread I linked to) in QPST and BitPim, then rebooting with no luck.

Does anyone have an XV6800 that could tell me what, if anything, is in the ERI folder on their factory VZW phone? I'm wondering if it could be named something else (I looked on my Q and it was, the ERI file was also 2K vs .2K for the one in the XV6700 thread.

DCD:

Thanks for your kitchen and rom, I'm using the 3.0.4 right now, and it works very nicely.

I have a sprint mogul that I converted to VZW and I flashed it with the latest XV6800 MR2 update and it now has pri version 2.03_002, the same as my XV6900. It did not flash the ERI version, that's still 0, but my XV6900 is 4. Since I don't have a VZW branded 6800, could I use the ERI file from my XV6900? Or could someone extract the VZW ERI from the MR2 update? If anyone would like to continue this post and project that would be great!
