BlackBerry 8130 PRL changed, but it still shows Sprint

Recommended Posts

I have a new cdma BB 8130 that I have flashed with the Reliance OS as well as the reliance PRL. It now shows the bars in the top right corner but when i go the 'services status' screen, under the 'Mobile Network provider' it says Sprint PCS!

How is that possible since the PRL is from reliance?

I even tried wiping it with JL-commander and nuking it with MFI, but it still shows Sprint network.

Have I missed something? Any help is appreciated.

hmmm, i thought that probably the reason why the phone won't work :-(

so any ideas why the phone won't work?

- ESN/MEID is registred with reliance

- the MDN is already activated (using a RUIM on a android handset), and I have put the MIN number in the second row of the BB programming screen

- PRL is updated, auth key is updated, SID/ NID is updated

what i understand is, you want to use the activated and working no. on bb8130 by simply putting MIN.. ??

Yes, that is pretty much what I was trying.

^ then the reason of "not working" is MEID/ESN & MIN mismatch..

Hmmm, got it.

So that means I have to 'officially transfer' the number to this min first. But the BB8130 is unable to do a *228, how do I get the meid associated with the min?

MIN writing is a part of OTA programming ( activation).

Remove the MIN you have entered, and then do *228.

That's the whole problem, the bb is not able to do the *228 routine. The call fails when I try that number

tried all *228xyz numbers, same error - call failed, activation unsuccessful

@shanusmarty - how do i get the number transfered to the BB MEID? I did try going to the webworld to get their help but they said that they cant help since the phone wont do a *228

@aankush - yes, the number is still active on a RUIM. I tried it on 2 handsets (LG and Motorola XT800), and it worked on both of them (that's how I got the MIN number)

@ankurcshah - boss, i had a lot of trouble typing this message, salma is way too distracting :-)

RETAIN MDN

Visit Reliance Web world and ask them to RETAIN your MDN to the RSN/MEID of your blackberry.

If they don't accept, try visiting another Web world. Manually enter the MIN first and then visit Web world. Just ask them to RETAIN MDN, and and tell them you will take care of the rest.
