It doesnt have sim slot its a CDMA Sprint phone. I can root it and unlock its bootloader to install custom ROM's but I want to know can it be used on Indian CDMA operators. Its shows International Roaming and shows network bar full with roaming sign also I am able to dial *228 and a reliance automated customer care activation call starts. I can use any carrier TATA docomo, RCOM or MTS unless they are able to make it work on their network. BTW I live in Mumbai. It shows network name as International with full coverage and network type as 1xRTT. I have attached images for reference and software versions.
Their are cdma phones which have sim also.
Now for your case,you need to get it programmed for reliance.
Reliance is only carrier which still accepts foreign handsets and tata is next to impossible and mts is out of question as their network is cancelled.
You would need to get prl updated and reliance network settings installed on it after getting its msl code.
Your next step will be finding out its msl code.

I have its MIN, PRL Version, ESN, MEID HEX, MEID Decimal, IMEI, CCID with me. What is MSL code is it from anyone mentioned here..?
Ok. I googled it and found that only original carrier will have the phones MSL. So I'll have to contact Sprint but don't know they will provide or not as I bought it on ebay but it has clean ESN. Do you any idea how to obtain it or can we hack the device for MSL.
Ok. Is there any way to get around this like hacking device to show different ESN whos MSL is known so another cheap device with will loose its ESN and it will be used for this device.
Yes right will need to check what can be done. Thanks a lot for the details. I will bring the device to reliance gallery and check what can be done.
Thanks a lot.
reliance gallery will refuse the device as its not their branded or officially supported.
you may try but I wont keep high hopes on them.

Hi thanks for that. I am going to visit RCOM gallery lets see if they can help or not. Will update what happened.
The reliance guy said he will try to activate it on their network but cant be for sure he will give a try.
So instead of giving it a try I am making it sure to work by rooting and extracting MSN so that it can work with any CDMA carrier.
But the problem is when I got the phone and used it on wifi I accepted both firmware and OS update due to which GAIO tool is not able to root it; the process completes but cell remains unrooted. I have to give it a push by ctrl+c and then again continue by pressing 'n' as you can see from Terminate batch line because it keeps on running after restore confirmation on cell. I hope to root it using some other tools and then extract its MSN to reprogram it on any network.

You need to find the MSL or SPC without which you will not be able to activate the handset. The reliance store will not be helpful either. Once you have the SPC/MSL you can get the MEID registered with Reliance, which will cost Rs 500 or so.
Once that is done, you can visit the Reliance store to transfer the number or get a new connection.

The reliance CSR said he will provide with new no. and all registration process by paying Rs.150 only. But I know he wont be able to register without MSN thats why didn't go for try. Currently Im trying to find its new firmware and Android 4.1.2 to root and unlock bootloader.
The phone is very good in performance but camera of 13MP is not up to mark it has lot of noise. But front camera is good.
It is kinda Nexus 4 with 32GB Memory. The CPU and GPU performance is very good.
IPS LCD is best for viewing pleasures I have seen till date. I have used Motorola Photon 4G, Optimus 4X HD, Canvas2 but found its display to be best for viewing.
Although I like my photon for it brightness in sunlight and 4X's camera quality. But still overall looking it delivers nearly everything.
Plus I found its battery to be very strong with 1.5 hours of videos in full brightness and 1.2 hours of wifi download of Real Racing and on roaming network without any calls I was able to manage more than 1.5 days which I consider to be good after using photon and 4xhd. Wifi doesn't suck up its battery easily.
I think its a overall very good performer and over all It feels reliable and firm in handling and usage. Thats why Im trying to use it anyhow otherwise I am GSM fan and never used CDMA phone ever. And BTW I got it in 18.5K in new condition on Ebay in auction ..
which is a killer deal but in India it could kill you for being CDMA phone due to less knowledge people in this industry and no willingness to keep updated in technology.
