Ok... i have a phone programmed on my network (VZW) *228 , 1 and *228 , 2 done. Data is working. Messaging is working. The only problem I have not accomplished, is getting the Roaming Indicator to go away... and when people call... I get the roaming message. I looked at the EPST compared to my other phone.... and it looks right. What's missing?

There has to be somebody that has an idea on what the PRL / PRI should be in order to get rid of this Roaming issue.

There is a site that shows all of the latest prl's for all carriers...I just tried to find it for you....I know it is over at ppcgeeks....if I find it I will post it back....just changing the prl should fix it....

I've done that... something like colorodo.com/prl... whatever. Did that... and also let the Verizon *228 , 2 load the latest PRL. It's newer than the one on that site. Still says I'm roaming though.
PRI : 2.00_003
PRL : 51056

May be dumb question but did you go into the phone settings and check them...

As I said in the first thread.... I compared as many settings as I could in EPST to my actual Verizon XV6800... and they match. That's what's confusing.

This is why you're roaming. This is not a Verizon PRI. You let some other carrier's customizations run. You need to flash back to stock, let VZW customizations run, then upgrade again. It's the only way. Your data may not work either after you flash back to stock, so you may need a DMU reset.

I was afraid of that. The ERI keeps erroring as well when I try to write "4" to it.. GRRRR...

I'm still trying to get this to work... but with VZW Stock 2.09 and radio 2.13 (because the normal method with the 1.30.60 just says no radio)... and the customizations ran... when in the main screen of WM... it still says roaming. I'm guessing because I haven't programmed any settings yet... IE... phone number.... SID... etc.

Edit:
Ok... Somethings not right. Even after running the stock verizon... letting it "Customize" and then updateing to the latest DCD... In QPST there is still SPCS in the NAM settings areas.... and the roaming is still showing.

Also, If I do a ##eri.. to load the eri.. it gives me a write failure. and.. when I do a ##7764726... for ##Program.. the ERI
reading... fails.

PRI still reads 2.00_003

Is there a way to "ERASE" the device and start over? That way the correct ERI/PRI will be loaded?

I guess because the GPS Radio/Rom from sprint is what ran and did the customizations.... a Verizon Base Non-GPS radio/Rom customization isn't erasing the Sprint data? Even after verizon Customizations... QPST says SPCS.

If you havent already try this, Id suggest re-flashing to the stock vrzn ROM. That may fix your problem, but Im not sure, as I am just taking a stab in the dark.

I've had to do it before and it pretty much returns ur phone to how its "supposed" to be.

Been there. Done that. It's a Sprint Mogul. So, the Base system information that gets retrieved after the flashing is done, is all sprint. That's what I want to edit. If I can get the Verizon stuff in the ERI/PRI... I'd be good to go. The phone works as a verizon phone. Text/Data/Email... etc. It just shows roaming.

Ok... I was hoping the new update would fix it. I ran the vzw update on UtStarcoms site... let it update the PRI... and It still says I'm roaming on my Cloned Mogal to Verizon.

GC14... or DCD... Do you know about this?
