Fido operator logo on V551

by "Paul in Toronto" <swampyfern@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 15, 2006 at 08:33 PM

I'm actually with Fido, but I figured I'd post here since I bought my phone

through a Rogers Wireless affiliated retailer...

I bought a V551 a while back.  It was locked to Rogers, so I had it
unlocked.  Naturally, it displayed "Rogers Wireless" as the operator logo,
and showed a little triangle to indicate that I was roaming.  I started
playing around with different flash/flex combinations.

Eventually, I (accidentally) locked the phone to Cingular by installing
the
wrong firmware version.  Got it unlocked again.  Phone displayed "Fido" as
the operator logo, with no roaming indicator.  Yay!  Unfortunately, some
of
the ways the Cingular firmware did things bugged me, so I found and
downloaded an unbranded Motorola firmware and installed it.

Now, my phone thinks it's a V547, and the operator logo is back to telling
me that I'm roaming on Rogers Wireless.

So...  Is there any way of hacking the phone to display 302-720 as my
*home*
network, rather than roaming?  Is there maybe a SIM update I can get
through
Fido?

Or am I going to have to lock my phone to Cingular again, get it unlocked,
then look for unbranded software and menus to replae the Cingular stuff?
