SX 56 and Eplus

[pacorama]

Hi ,
i've a SX 56 (AT&T wireless) which i updated with ROM verion 3.17.03 ENG. But i have not been able to connect to the Eplus network so far. I used the bandswitch application to switch the frequency to 900/1800. Slip in a T-mobile card and it works without any issues! Has any1 been able to connect to the eplus network?! If yes (hopefully) :) , do let me know !

thanx

cheers

What for a device you have? Take a look at the sticker back on the device... Mus be something like PW10....
Which radio version have you installed on your device? (start -> settings -> system ->device information)

not 100% sure, but i thought that the sx56 was only for the us market with 900/1900 Mhz.
900/1900 MHz has modell number PW10B with radiostack 6.x
900/1800 MHz has modell number PW10A with radiostack 4.x or 3.x

If it is a PW10A-Modell you can try entering bootloader and setting gsm to 900/1800.
if it is a PW10B-Modell you don't have any chance to get it working with Eplus.

Hi ,

the model is PW10B1(sticker @ the back of the device) , but the device info says PW10A1 which is probably because of the rom (3.17.03 ENG)
The radiostack version is 6.12. As we speak, i m downloading a 4.x verion from your rom kitchen! but i guess i can close shop and start thinking about changing my provider ! ;-) So i guess there is no chance of changing the radio version right ?

thanx

Hard to say, but you're right. There is no chance of changing radio version. The limitation of 900/1900 MHz networks is a hardwareproblem, so you have no possibility (maybe some soldering) to get your device working.
The device info of the system is just a name. Depending on which rom installed it will show you PW10A or PW10B. So the sticker at the back of the device says the true....
You can only get it working with the 900 MHz providers (T-Mobile and Vodafone in Germany).
A few days ago t-mobile got an offer of the MDA I for about 30 Euro with a new contract....
So if changing the provider why not getting a new device with more memory...

PS: If you want to sell the device and you make a good price, maybe i'm interested in it....
