what's your device type ? ... A or B ?

You selected 900 MHz from the phone settings or the bootloader GSM menu ?

I selected the 900 from the a program called gsm band it is already been with xda-developer special edition ROM.

How do i enter the the bootloader? and change it to 900

Ramzy,

I had an sx56.
I got it from USA and it works fine with me here in Dammam.

All what I did is change the bandwidth to (I am not sure if I change it to 900 or 1900) any way try both.

You need to go to the phone dialing (The one with numbers and buttons)
Then go to Tools/Options and then Band I think and change it there.
Also, while you are there try to go to Network and find the network manually not automatic.

InshaAllah it will work.

thanks

The device type is the whole point ... check the rear sticker ... if your device is PW10A that means it supports 900/1800 MHz ... and if it's PW10B this means it works for 900/1900 MHz.

The RSU should be the proper one as well ... 900/1900 RSUs will give you 900 only if your network is 900/1800.

Check the device type first, if it's A and your networks is 900/1800 then you should NEVER switch to 1900 MHz

The best and safest way is to use the GSM bands from the bootloader menu. Press soft reset while pressing power ... when it says "GSM OK" press the calendar button and select the right band.
