upgraded radio, now phone doesn't work

[dutty.persian]

I was trying to get flash a new rom and found out thta I needed to upgrade my radio.

I'm with bell so I upgraded to the 3.42.50 radio and I flashed with dcd's newest rom.

Now when I try to send text msgs or call it doesn't work. it goesd "beep beep beep" as if all the calls are always busy.

is it a bug? did I get the wrong radio?

what version of bootloader did you use? what method did you use to flash?

[dutty.persian]

I unlocked the bootloader SPL 2.47 (2.47No2Chem Titan SPL EVT) (Recommended)

and to flash the rom, I used the usb method. I doubleclicked on dcd3.3.4.exe and let the rest go. However I don't plan on using dcd, but rather a ppckitchen rom.

the phone boots up fine, I just cant use the phone though.

Did you install the carrier cab (although non-data calls should still work fine without it I think)? Perhaps you need to call the automated programming line?

[dutty.persian]

By non data calls, do you mean text messages? I cannot make any calls or send texts...

I did not install/download anything carrier cab related. I'm assuming this may be the missing link. How does this carrier cab fit in with all of this? I did not see anything relate to carrier cabs in the Titan WIKI

I followed the steps:
-updater my SPL
-then the radio
-then I used DCD3.3.4

DCD ROMs do not include carrier information, hence the carrier cabs:

great! I found the bell carrier cab... now how do I install it? just put it in my device and install?

[dutty.persian]

can I ask another question? where can this information be found?

[kflipproductions]

this information can be found all over this forum. especially in the wikis. just do a little searching and you'll find most of your answers. sometimes searching wont find you your answer, but make sure youve done your fair share of searching before you create a thread. installing the carrier cab is about as basic as you can get with flashing, so you definitely need to do some reading to get a better understanding of how it all works. its alot to read, but it's totally worth it (and pretty much necessary)

i assume to install a cab, I just have to drag it to my PPC, then start file explorer and click on it.

it installs, then I reset... and still not working

[dutty.persian]

bump ------ still not working need help

like stated before did you do the initial programming. for example verizon is either *22899 send or *228 option 2. you have to do the programming everytime you flash a rom or hard reset. you will see the triangle roaming icon until you program it.

oops, forgot to say it was resolved.

The issue was that the radio I used, even stated made for bell CDMA was most like meant for another carrier. ANyway, the MSID was changed in the EPST so I had to get the password using getSPC and change my MSID back to my 10 digit phone number. reset and voila.

thanks!
