I have been using my cliq on AT&T without 3g. Was just wondering if it was possible to flash the Canadian dext's radio to my cliq so I can get 3G.
oh well. i will leave well enough alone. 3g would be nice, but i still love my cliq. i can do most things on wifi, so it's not that bad.
AFAIK no updates have been given out to Canadian Bell dext. Bell uses same frequencies as AT&T. But with no updates there are no files to extract a radio image from. That is why we have to be very careful about what we flash. If someone like myself flashes a radio there is no returning. 3g is gone...and since Bell has no edge connection for data not only is 3g gone so is our data connection...I believe that AT&T is same situation...
It would plastered all over the net as when first rooted looooong time ago cliq/dext users had to flash an Orange firmware which included a radio...of course anyone that didn't match the frequencies lost 3g and no way back...once upgraded the radio is very hard/almost impossible to downgrade back...and most in this situation their carriers offered no OTA updates that may have helped.
Pardon my ignorance, but i just want to help in any way i can after all the help everyone on this site provides to me... i have a Canadian / Bell Mobility Dext... can i be of any help?
or is it like you guys were saying, if it could be done someone would have already done it?
AT&T uses a different 3G frequency than most companies. Making it difficult for devices to switch from say T-Mobile to AT&T and keep 3G. If there were a radio.img available that would make it possible to switch to AT&T I'm pretty certain it would be discovered by now.
I am not sure its possible...at least with my limited knowledge. I to am on Bell in Canada and have been searching off and on for months about how to extract the radio img from my phone without bricking it. Have even asked on several forums how and got no responses. I have my phone rooted and my girlfriends phone(same) stock unrooted.
I believe that the .sbf and radio img come from OTA's from service providers and are taken apart and files extracted from that. Since Bell has not provided any updates to the dext then there is nothing to get files from. I did find a way thaT might work getting radio img from phone but said there was a great possibility of bricking your phone so I gave up on that.
Yup thats the one...give me a few...i will write down my apn and you can check yours...I'm on Bell Canada also...
K here it is,if its different make sure you write yours down so you can restore it,but, it should be the same

Ok I entered the values. I noticed that when I was filling it up, MCC and MNC showed up with the correct values. That confirmed that my radio is alive. I think!
this line : MMS proxyVweb.wireless.bell.ca should be "web.wireless.bell.ca" wright? I tried Vweb as well. Then I saved settings, and selected bell as APN. rebooted phone, still no 3G!
I actually found the setting on the Bell.ca support pages and there are the same values....
Jethro650 - I finally got it to work. First I restored my last backup, 3G went back on. Then I reflashed but this time without applying the fullwipe and no wipe data/cache. 3G works. So just to try, I wiped data/cache again, of course no 3G since no APN settings, I reentered the settings you pro vided, and bang, 3G back ON. I don't understand why it worked this time, but hey, it works! Thanks again!
Great news, happy it worked out for you and that I could help a little. All newer ROM's do not include a radio so it's usually just a matter of a messed up APN or a setting somewhere...Had me worried there for a bit though...there is a small risk any time you flash something to your phone...
