Allow myself to introduce......myself

[decepticon]

Hey everyone, I am new here and figured it would be good to introduce myself.

I have been a proud XDA/SX56/PPCP owner for about 3 months now, I started out with a Sidekick from TMO but after a week with the thing I noticed the PPCP so I exchanged it and haven't looked back since.

I presently work for Cingular wireless and unfortunately can't even use the thing on my own network thanks to Cingular not supporting the 900 freq in my market yet.

I stumbled upon this site about a week or so ago and have been reading up on virtually every post going back for damn near a month.

Sorry if I ask some n00b questions sometimes but please bear with me because I definitley search before I post :D

Welcome and hang in there as far as Cingular not supporting the 900 band. If memory servers me correctly there was a European / Asian radio stack that supported a lower band. You might also want to try changing the band from the boot loader and see if that helps.

In the mean time I'll see if I can located that 850 band RS for you, I know
I got notes on it somewhere!

wow, I appreciate it.

Just checked my bootloader and all I had was 900 and 1900.

Just checked my boot loader and all I had was 900 and 1900.

Ok below is what I found in my notes regarding the 800/850 band:

"The VERY BEST combination ROM/RS for users in Asia/Pacific and probably also in Europe, is in my opinion and to my experience with all of them the combination of:"

ROM: 4.00.11 ENG
RSU: QTEK 3.25 or
RSU: O2 4.21 (Asian version from HKG)

So it appears that the QTEK 3.25 RS or O2 4.21 "Asia version" should do the trick.

For info on the 800/850 band take a look at the below site:

BTW for some unknown reason T-Mobile RS 6.24.1 keeps
popping up in my mind as supporting the 800 band from the boot loader,
I might be wrong but thats also worth a look!.
In the mean time I'll keep digging! :wink:

Thanks alot for the help, would I specifically need the 4.00.11 ENG rom or would it work with my TMO official 3.14?

So I may be having difficulty connecting to cingular because it runs in the 850mhz band everywhere?
