HTC Merge Using SIM Card (Working!)

**hyelton** · 01-02-2012, 08:10 PM

Finally After Spending about 2 weeks working on this!. Okay First of off you need to be S-Off, and Rooted By following this Guide.

http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=2559

Then You can go back to U.S.Cellulars STOCK ROM Even the Gingerbread one (thats what im using)

Okay So I found out the issue that stops the phone from using the SIM Card Slot. Its not the software its the Modem itself in the phone! So running the STOCK rom but using a different modem.

After Getting it backup and no S-Off, Now to the sim card working

And For the Modem to use Download This one

http://2fastroms.com/dm_eds/download.php?id=35

Follow this guide on How to install that Modem

http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=244

After that Reboot and Pop your Sim card in, Be sure to set the phone to GSM only under wireless/Mobile Networking settings.

Then it SHOULD connect you to whatever sim you inserted

Then you can setup your APN`s and Have Data,Phone calls and texts all working 100%!!

I see on 2fastroms site that if you load the Verizon radio it breaks the PRL. How do you load the USCC PRL again? Did you download ESPT.apk and do a ##775# then enter in the MSL to update the PRL or use some other method?

Thanks

U can use the ##775# back when I used to have HTC phones it was convenent cause I could load a SPRINT PRL in a non 3G area back before uscc had 3G I would load sprints prl and get 3G. But Dont know havent tested Don`t have Uscellular anymore. It prob breaks activating with *228

I have tried to do this following the guide and have realized that no matter what I do I can't get my phone to go into s-off. Would this be bacause I am running 2.3.4 already? I can't find a way to root this phone either. I have tried to follow the guide that was posted but haven't had any luck at all. Does anyone know who to get the phone into s-off by any other way? I would love to be able to use this phone on AT&T.

Thanks

That site posted above didn't help me what so ever i used 2fast2rom for the guide the hardest part is making ur sd card a gold card. that's prob the issue ur having that was the problem i had Il post a link tj the guide i used later

**KcLive** · 01-05-2012, 12:36 PM

If you get the chance it would be great to know how you made your gold card. That may be the issue I am having.

I was referring to posting questions on that forum since the OP there is very helpful.

This is the guide I followed the gold card thing is a pain in the butt!

This guide is what helped! http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=2559

Also That android forums or whatever threw me off big time. Cause the ONLY thing stopping the uscc merge from using AT&T/T-mobile is the Modem. But to change out the modem u gotta root and S-Off

**KcLive** · 01-05-2012, 02:22 PM

That is the guide I was trying to use to s-off my phone and had no luck. Maybe I am doing something wrong with the gold card creation, I don't know. Did you keep your memory card in your phone when you created your gold card? I did and for some reason it still didn't work for me. Any other ideas? I would really like to get this done.

Thanks

You should have a choice between 2 gold card things. One is for the internal storage and 2 is for the ext the SD card. and yes you must keep it in ur phone

**KcLive** · 01-05-2012, 02:28 PM

Ok, I will try that again once I get back home. When I ran the tool it did find the drive letter that my memory card was on, and that is the one I used. Also, when I try to choose mmc1 I get an error... the only way I could get it to work was to choose mmc0. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
