not bricked but not good

PRL means preferred roaming list. It tells the phone which signals to ignore and which to connect to. Basically it programs the phone to allow you to connect to compatible networks and not get charged for roaming. The shortcut on Verizon phones us to dial *22899 and wait for it to tell you the programming is done.

This came from my brain by way of my finger and my phone. Don't ask where any of them have been. Especially the brain.

I have now gone back to unrooted with MILER_X1_00260_MILER_CDMA_BP_0.sbf for milestone and I still need some way to get my APN fixed... any ideas today?

 

[AKmilestone]

tried APN backup restore.... no go.
Should I be looking for a radio file?
anyone know how I can get APN files to save when I need to change MCC MNC?

 

[AKmilestone]

I don't have much knowledge about the milestone. But all I know is if I got this far down the rabbit hole I would just find the most up to date milestone sbf and flash that. Like I said though this is a little out of my area of expertise so I don't have much relevant advice...

Thanks to all who took the time to read this mess.

Two questions:

One, what Milestone do you have? There are a couple of variants kicking around, including a rebadged Droid without the locked bootloader.

Two, have you considered flashing a ROM like CyanogenMod for the Milestone?

 

[AKmilestone]

I am not sure what milestone I have... how do I find out?

I have tried CyanogenMod for the Milestone and had the same issues.
What I need to figure out is how to change the MCC and or MNC in the APNs and still be able to save the new APN.

[AKmilestone]

I do know I have a CDMA phone if that was the info you were asking for.

I wish I had more time to offer to do some reading for you, but this thread looks somewhat promising as well.

I don't mind the reading at all... I am not good with finding through searches for some reason. I do have a great appreciation for the time and help you are putting into my mess-up.

THANK YOU!

I'm sorry for the long delay in the middle. Here on the forum we've come to the impression that if we don't hear back in a couple days that the problem's solved or the poster's given up.

 

[AKmilestone]

I understand that too.
I also travel for work and am out for 2 weeks at a time so I could be a while to update.
When solved I WILL post for all to see how and when just in case some other poor soul does this to himself.

 

[AKmilestone]

Now I am sooooo confused...
Here I am in Deadhorse AK of all places and all of a sudden I have 3G again.

I'm going to say that most likely the towers in your area needed work. As long as the 3G stays stable...

Glad to hear that for whatever reason things are looking up!
