Will this imported CDMA phone work with RUIM of indian Operators?

Recommended Posts

your cropped sim might be an old sim..old sims didnt worked for new phones...

Any specific series to look out for? I mean how to distinguish an 'OLD' sim vs a 'NEW' one?

i dont know,but i used pre-cutted Micro sim RECRUC06 Series.

Hi Pritam,

I used the cropped MICRO SIM, it says Invalid CARD. But pre cut micro SIM works perfectly. Any additional things need to be done for cropped sims. And What needs to be done for EVDO.?

So I got the Tribute in my hands, set the mode to RuimOnly and the calls/SMS started working. But I'm getting the same message as @iamrafic when enabling data.

Btw it is a cut RUIM not a micro sim issued by RIM.

@Varkey, Yesterday I bought a new precut micro sim from Reliance store. Even that sim also not working with data. Not even 1x.

Looks like I got data working finally, using the same cut sim.

I don't know what exactly fixed it, but I played around with QPST and DFS without the RUIM inserted, made couple of changes. Inserted the RUIM and restarted, and data just worked.

Summary of the changes

1. Changed the NV MCC MNC to 404 00

2. Disabled Sprint Mobile IP profiles and created a new one and activated with NAI as NET

3. Changed NV Mode to SimpleIP

But the problem now is that the handsfree activation message keeps popping up, I have to switch to Airplane mode and back to remove it. Any ideas on disabling it permanently?

Fir disabling handsfreee, i think rooting is required. Need to rename the OmaDmclient.apk to OmaDmclient.bak.

Since there is no root available yet, I guess we have to live with it.

Just saw an ad on OLX-Mumbai regarding LG-Tribute sale, with EVDO-Rev Band without any handsfree activation error and working hotspot. It indicates that it can be rooted. We may have to do some work on it OR XDA may help.

Interesting, below is the link to the Olx page. Then I guess we would be able to get it rooted, at least temporarily and make the required changes.

Looks like some survey scam. I don't think there is anything genuine there.
