How to enable EDGE on A780

This will guide you through the steps necessary to enable EDGE function in Motorola A780 phone.
Most of this guide is direct copy paste from xlr8's guide to customizing the Motorola Vxxx at http://www.xlr8.us/hofo/


Startup

Download necessary tools:

• P2Kman, a program to upload and download seems and files to and from your A780, available at http://www.motomodders.net/
• XVI32, a simple but powerful hex editor, available at http://www.handshake.de/user/chmaas/delphi/download/xvi32.zip

Install and run P2Kman.  Connect USB cable to A780.  You should see "Connected" and your phone model at the bottom of P2Kman window.


Download SEEM 0032_0001

Type "0032" into the "From" box and "0032" into the "to" box.  Then click "Download seem" button.
A "Save As" dialog will come up. Browse to the directory where you want to save your files. Where it says file name, LEAVE THAT AS "xxxx_yyyy.seem" - this is important, because it won't save the seem if you change the name from that.
Now you have 0032_0001.seem file.




Edit SEEM

Backup 0032_0001.seem file to another folder before editing.  This is in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Run XVI32 editor, open the 0032_0001.seem file.
Click on the 89th cell on the left screen of XVI32 so that "Adr. hex:" at the bottom of the screen shows the number 89.




When the correct cell is highlighted and you see "Adr. hex: 89" at the bottom, select "Bit manipulation" under Tools menu.
"Bit manipulation" tool window appears.  If your A780 doesn't have EDGE enabled, you should see bit #2 unchecked.  Check it!




Click "Set" button.  You'll notice that the value in 89th cell changed.



Important: Leave all the other bits alone - do not change them. Other bits may be checked or unchecked, but don't worry about it.
Save the file and exit XVI32.


Upload SEEM 0032_0001

Now get back to P2Kman.  We must upload modified 0032_0001.seem file back to the phone.
Type "0032" into the "Seem" box and "0001" into the "rec" box.  



Then click the "Upload seem" button, browse to the folder where the modified seem file is, and click ok.
If you're successful, you'll see "uploading seem N 0032record N 0001 ok" - the "ok" at the end means you've done it properly.


Check if EDGE works

Restart your phone and try connecting to internet.  If everything went ok and your provider supports EDGE, you should see "E" letter instead of "G" in status bar.
