I remember when I had my Kaiser all one had to do was load a .cab file to get all of the AT&T settings loaded to ones phone, same with any T-Mobile settings.
Is there any way to get a file to do the same for the Dream to adjust everything for AT&T? Just wondering, it seems like it would be easier that manually adjusting everything.
Sorry if this is a re-post.

Total Noob here, I've been reading and reading, then read some more. I'm confident I can do it, but got a question. Does flashing erase your phone set up. What I mean is when I first activate the phone i had to program my number and MDN and MSID. These wouldn't get erased where I would have to reprogram them again would it by flashing. I have a sprint touch 6900.
At it's most basic flashing returns your phone to factory fresh with the OS of your choice, so yes, you would need to redo any network specific configuration along with reinstalling any third party apps.
That said if you look you may well find a CAB file that has your network settings preconfigured so the reconfig is justa matter of instaling one thing.
Where would the cab be located at that has that information. Would I have to reactivate or just redo the mdn and msid.
to find the CAB, either ask your provider, search their web site or seacrh on here as there are many CABs for networks providers. As for what you have to redo, sorry can't help as I have a CAB for Vodafone UK and use that.
As deedee says, ask your provider and they will send you the settings. Mine did not however (Airtel-Vodafone & J Telecoms). Theres no harm in doing it the old way and writing them down for later use, part of the fun in flashing i think
Alltel Touch Pro (now Verizon customer with Alltel hardware)
OEM ROM
NC market in NYC (Verizon)
I had to swap phones due to hardware problems, and since I
ran *228 (2-roam list) I can't get into program mode ##778
tries to really dial and it fails. I checked the registry and
the correct entries are still there. I was able to do a hard reset,
and the it worked again. I'm guessing the data stored by the
tower somehow confused the OS? I noted that the xml in the carrier
cab for Alltel sets the ## numbers in the registry but the Verizon
version does not. Don't know if that means any thing though.
When I get home, and rerun *228 2 from Alltel tower will that fix it?
Any idea how to regain ##778 without rebuilding the phone again?
Thanks
PS: I found epst.exe in \windows but i think its just a rom program,
is there a way to make my own 'shortcut' to it to effectively run
it like ##778 is supposed to?
I have Resco File Manager and SK Shortcut Manager.
I thought maybe RFM could make the shortcut and
shortcut manager could edit it to add the operand
(##778) so epst.exe knew what I wanted to do?
hmms: it looks like RFM isn't displaying the hidden/system
rom files. Anyone know how to get it to do so? Or could
someone point me to directions how build the .lnk file
manually?
I need it to be:
\windows\epst.exe ##778
Thanks
I figured it out.
The Windows Mobile builtin file explorer was able to create
the shortcut, and SK Shortcut Manager added the operand
for me. I tested it and got the programming screens.
Thanks again
So through all this flashing and whatnot (wow this is so much better than the PPC6800) my Verizon TP2 has decided that its a T-Mob device, which I don't take kindly too so I have a favor to ask. First does anyone off the top of their head know what the "Device Model" of the Verizon TP2 is, I mean the like the official windows driver model name? Also if anyone running the stock Verizon ROM or when you plug into your computer and the picture in Windows Mobile Device Center is the Verizon phone, could you please look for a string in your registry it should be under:
HKLM\System\Platform\OEMString
Mine is showing HTC Touch Pro2 T7373, which is not the Verizon if yours isn't that please tell me.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

It's RHOD500
Mine Windows Mobile Device Center shows the VZW version as a pic, and the registry data is RHOD500
Well this is interesting, I changed the value and soft-reset and it sets it back to HTC Touch Pro2 T7373. I wonder if its pulling this value/info from a lower software area on boot? Possibly if the HardSPL or Security unlock did this or if I'll need to learn more about using a kitchen so that I could cook it in. Any ideas?
Mine is showing 'RhodiumW' in 'HKLM\System\Platform\OEMString\'. Prior to flashing, it was 'RHOD500' in 'HKLM\System\Platform\OEMString'.
I have the VZW Touch Pro2 and am running MightyROM 11/10/09 now.

Well I changed it to both RHOD500 and RhodiumW and it still changes it. I guess its reading from either EnergyROM, HardSPL, Security Unlocker, or the unlocked Radio?

Well I (obviously) used HSPL to unlock my phone, so you can probably scratch that one off of the list.
I didn't use Security Unlocker (but I did SIM Unlock through Verizon), EnergyROM or an unlocked radio. The only thing I did was; 1.) HSPL 2.) Flash MightyROM 11/10/09 3.) Install Hotfix CAB 4.) Activate 'Verizon Carrier Settings' 5.) Install MMS Cab (in that order).

To change the model name/number that is visible in Device Settings,
Try changing it in the ModelName.txt file in the Windows directory.
I'll try that and see how it shows up when I get home, what does your's currently say? Mine is "HTC Touch Pro2 T7373."
I changed it in the *.txt file to "RHOD500" with TC and soft reset, this changed the registry string to RHOD500 so apparently they are directly related. When I get home I'll see if it sticks.
That didn't work this time around either, any other ideas where the entry would be? After changing everything I deleted the ActiveSync partnership on both the device and my computer. I did a reg search for "T7373" and everywhere it popped up I change the "HTC Touch Pro2 T7373" entry to "RHOD500."
Well all this JB talk has made me wanna talk about something else lol!
Is there any app, or dialer menu option, or anything like that, now that I am on JB, that will allow me to switch PRLs on the fly? I can do it using QPST, but that means using a computer. I want to be able to move my PRL file to my sd card, and use it on my phone wo having to load it with a computer. Can this be done?
So i have been researching, and I have found threads where folks have loaded the epst.apk file into their system/app folder, then after doing that, there were able to ##775# on the dialer, and this takes them to the old school prl menu where you can change it from your phone. Here is some more background info on it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073
Anyhow, i cant get this work. Wondering if anyone else has tried this out?
After downloading and flashing the official B521 update, sure there was no usable keyboard app, so I had to voice search to a 3rd party site to download one, but other than that all was well... or so I thought. I happened to switch my phone's mobile data setting to 3G only, during a spot of bad reception (the constant switching made it impossible to do anything), after which I realised that this update had removed all the LTE options from the dropdown menu.
My first instinct was to go to the "project act menu" from the dialler, but that would not load at all, when typed in correctly and confirmed...the phone just clears the number input area and doesn't open any menu. At this point, I did not know how I was going to sort out the issue, I thought maybe a .prop or .db file would be the answer. I have edited such files on other phones to do a number of things, should be simple right? Boy was I wrong.
Before beginning to poke around I did some searches of course, and found that you can get the 4G options back, by editing a value in the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db ...So I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and did just that. Put the file back in place, swell, guess I'll reboot. Then it froze on the Honor logo, impossible to turn off, with good timing--I was able to access the stock recovery and fastboot modes.
Since then I have been able to get my phone to boot by deleting the settings.db, so that Android created a new one, only problem is... this new file of course has so much hardware specific things missing from it...It's kind of a joke. All I wanted to do was allow myself to freely switch between 4G and 3G on the Lollipop update, and in trying to do so, bricked the device and had to lose all the stock settings in order to get it working again.
I changed the permissions and ownership of my edited settings.db (as best as I could in root explorer) after replacing it, but nothing seems to help as far as I can tell, if the settings stay I cannot boot.
How exactly am I meant to get the original database back? I assume if I can downgrade to the Kitkat, that will sort that side out, but even if I do that...and then reflash Lollipop... I'm still going to be losing the 4G option, unless I never change it from auto--ever.
This is just silly and frustrating... Literally all I want is the official settings.db for this phone on lollipop aside from: the network modes changed so that I can switch between 2G/3G/4G, 3G only, and 4G only modes. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this on my own, and I wish I made a backup before trying...
Please help, thanks~
