changing carrier text

[neonspeed]

has anybody successfully changed the carrier text on the at&t z9?

neonspeed you cannot change the operator tag the AT&T operator tag. You can do the mod for it and change the name, But it will change back to AT&T tag. Leaving your custom name showing briefly. Fldodger has tried this with V9 and it goes back to AT&T. Its got something to do with AT&T sending theres via signal or something or it could be do with the AT&T sim card.

But you could try this seem 0032_0001

offset 51 - bit 3: Alpha Tag Display (1 from SIM, 0 from phone) Set it to sim card & see what happens.

yea i tried that seem edit and some others but no luck yet. i read one guy has done it successfully on at&t but i cant get it to work.

I will test it when I get my Z9

I did it to my old one, but not the new one. (I tried to rearrange the icons on the main menu and I bricked my phone.) I will re-do it and see if it works again and I will post pictures. I have to move into college today, so I don't know when I will have time. I really did have it done.

ok this is weird i did all the changes to make my carrier text change and it wouldnt work so i gave up on it like 3 days ago. i look at my screen today and for some odd reason all the sudden now it decides to display my custom name instead of at&t.

Is that from my instructions? I hope so - I don't want to look like a fool! Thanks for sharing cuz I was really feeling like a noob because it worked on no one else phone, but mine. How long has it been up, or did it switch off again? Please tell, because I am interested in figuring out how this banner works. I want to get it to work for everyone.

My guide seems to work for me and it stays most of the time. Some times while traveling, it changes to another network name, but it stays I would say 98% of the time.

yea that was following your instructions. it stayed on but then i was stupid and change the text and uploaded the new file and it went back to at&t. now today the battery died and when i turned it back on half of the stuff on the phone is no longer there, looks like i got a brick on my hands

If it doesn't work, maybe you need to follow the following instructions. This ARE NOT mine, they are from thomas:

Ok for a start fully charge your Mobile. Then Download Flash and Backup 3.0.7 (http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=7557) Also download Z9 Profile (http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=10121) You need to unzip that and copy the profile and loader into the Flash and Backup folder directory. If you havent already done so download and install The Self installing P2k Drivers (http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=140) Then download Z9 Full backup (http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=10151)

Best Luck!

Also, back onto the topic:
Has anyone else followed my instructions and notice that the voice mail icon stays on ALL the time, even thought you don't have a voice mail message?

[neonspeed]

i got it back up and running for some reason when my battery died it messed up the software so i had to flash my backup and it worked again.

do you ever get 3g maybe thats the problem cause, at one point i had 2.5g and it displayed my custom carrier but it went away when it hit 3g again

[Clarkey]

That might be an issue. I don't live near a 3G area, so I cannot test that.
