how to switch a sprint phone to alltel service - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

use the link in my other thread to unlock the phone then follow these steps
1. Write down your (hex) esn: (under the battery)
2. Call sprint and ask for master unlock code
with every esn there is a different master unlock
code (MSL) number for sprint tech support
1-877-654-9111
3. Get code end enter on phone ## (MSL)
4. enter this info that you get from Alltel
MDN : (your phone number)
(MSID)MIN:
(HOME)SID:
when you enter all that and hit ok the phone will ask to reset the phone hit ok then it will shut off and turn on.... make a test call and you should be in business !! Well that’s what worked for me and I hope it all works out for you all!!

How to Unlock Vogue CDMA

Buy HTC Vogue Clean ESN CDMA Set to eaby.com . & how to Use This Phone In India in CDMA Network. pls tell
I m read another Indian forum. HTC 6800/6900 convert to tata CDMA
here is detail
SID, NID, Primay Channer A & B, Secondary Channel A & B loaded Nam 1 & Nam 2 PRL, SPC = 000000
I got all above Parameter from Tata Customer Care and they told any Foreign ESN Handset can work if you are able to change the above Parameters, After that I Get an GSK (Getting Started Kit) of Tata which have 14 Digit Activation Number, then Dialed *228 and followed the Instruction, After 2 Hours (Tipical 10 Minutes they say) Received a SMS to Restart the Phone. Voila my HTC Mogul is Working on TATA
Will load my QPST .qct file (Ready made Setting for TATA) so every buddy can easily Activate Mogul on TATA
Everybody now Welcome to World of Tata Indicom
( Attached TATA.rar contains Nam1 PRL, Nam2 PRL, and Ready made QCN file for QPST Service Programming, also have GetSPC [ Run in PPC6800 / Mogul Type the ESN in Capital and get the Service Programming Code] )
Pls Help me
Sounds interesting but I'm just wondering
OK.... can u explore more on that.
How does one go about creating/editing the PRL settings contained here if they want to use this thing on a different network than Tata?
thx
This method work on Cricket in USA and in TATA in India
Just follow the Process and Activate using *228 Loading TATA Prl is needed or else it will not catch TATA Tower range.
Go on and take it into TATA
I already have activated so many Phones
Both Cricket and TATA accept non Allocated ESN and Activate the OTA and INsert the new ESN against users Services, Here in India Reliance dont activate any phone which ESN is not pre Registered in Reliance Network
I was wondering if this will solve my issue. I have bought a touch with a bad ESN and is unable to put it on my account. Will this clear the ESN?
I used this ..so easy
so if you activated your phone for india service, would you be able to use it in the United States?
--James
I did this for my Sprint Touch. I am still using it in the USA but my phone has been modified to support other carriers with no problem.
The steps are simple:
Here is what you need to do:
1. Download GetSPC(attached below)
2. Unzip to desktop
3. Turn off phone and remove battery.
4. Write down your HEX ESN
5. Power your device back on
6. Connect via ActiveSync or WMDC
7. Copy entire folder to main memory on device.
8. Run GetSPC.exe
9. In the top box type in your HEX ESN(make sure caps is on)
10. Click generate or whatever the button is named
11. The resulting number should be a 6 digit number, your MSL, write it down.
12. Search for, download and install Qualcomm's QPST tool.(not freeware)
THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE VERY DANGEROUS SO MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS EXACTLY.
13. Run QPST Configuration(run as admin if Vista)
14. From the Dialpad, dial ##3424#(##diag#)
15. Connect device to computer via USB(this will install drivers)
16. In QPST Configuration, click ports.
17. Continue to add ports until the QPST Configuration detects your phone
18. Under active phones it should display your phone.
19. Click Start Clients/Service Programming
20. Select phone and click ok.
DO NOT LEAVE FIRST TAB, THE SETTINGS TAB. THIS IS THE ONLY TAB WE WILL NEED TO CHANGE ANY SETTINGS
21. Under the settings tab, click Read from phone.
22. Input your MSL you got from GetSPC earlier.
23. Under codes where it says Service Programming, change this to 000000
24. Click Write to Phone
25. Wait 1 minute
26. Close Qualcomm QPST one window at a time.
27. Disconnect the USB cable from your device
28. Perform Soft reset once
29. Test new MSL(##000000#)
30. If new code does not go through, hard reset.
31. Depending on what device you have, follow the necessary steps to unlock your phone so you can flash a new ROM to it.
32. Install OEM ROM from carrier of choice or build your own custom ROM using the new carrier's information.
33. Follow instructions to flash new OS to device.
34. Call service provider and do some sweet talking to get them to activate the phone on their network. You may need to do some serious sweet talking because Sprint ESNs are not in Verizon's database and vice versa. This goes for all CDMA carriers.
Good luck.

are u then able to have both NAM1 & NAM2 on the phone?
NAM
You have to enable dual NAMs through the registry. And use QPST or CDMA Workshop to set them up.

Need English Viva ROM for Vogue (MP6900SP)
Thank you for this great post. I followed the instructions without bricking my phone. I looked at the 'simpler' one linked to here, but found the one on this thread much easier to follow and use.

how to view the nam2 in omnia i910 Verizon CDMA?

configured the NAM1, but I need to configure NAM2, for use in VIVO CDMA (Brasil)
through the code ** 772 not meeting the nam2 only nam 1
**772 to enter service code area
000000 to enter programming phone number area
1º - Shows MEID (can't change) - press Enter
2º - Shows ESN (can't change) - press Enter
3º - Shows AKEY (don't know what is that) - press Enter
4º - Shows SVC MODE NAM1 - type your phone number - press Enter
5º - Shows MSIN(MIN) - already is your phone number, just press Enter
6º - Shows CDMA Home SID (don't know what is that) - press Enter
That is, but it didn't worked on my country. Probably because the MEID number. Here they work with 8 hex digits, not the MEID 14 hex digits.
someone can help ?
someone else can help me?

[ANSWERED] - Bypass activation

Well folks, I need help. If anyone could tell me how to bypass activation on a Droid Incredible with the latest (current) OTA, it would be greatly appreciated. Only other thread I could find was: (can't post the link as I'm a new user)
This solution won't work as I am not in a coverage area. Ok, so why do I want/need this functionality? I'm deployed to Iraq. My Incredible is under military suspension. After the recent OTA (yip, got it over wifi), I wiped my Incredible. I thought activation was a skippable step, but it's not. So, I'm hoping to get help with this. Worst case? I have a brick until I return stateside and re-activate the phone.
i think this might work, give it a whirl
1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.
2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.
3. Select NAM Settings.
4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).
5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).
6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).
7. As you back out "Commit the Change".
Not sure how but I'm almost positive it is possible to manually activate. The only thing is you have to type in the correct MIN code. If you got access to a land line just call up Verizon and they should be able to walk you through it and give you the code. Here is what they will have you do: http://www.peteralfonso.com/2010/07/activation.html
Four Corners
When activation request screen appears, try the four corners approach. I read here on XDA and elsewhere - you touch in this order/sequence the top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left corners of the screen, and activation is bypassed.
Please post whether this worked for you - and, MOST importantly, thanks for serving!

This worked, thank you.
Now, a follow up. What's the ideal way to program the phone when I get back to the states?
-just dial #228?
-input the original numbers for those settings?
-factory reset than activate?
-something else?

*22899 and press send. it will reprogram your phone number and data settings, i also beleive it updates your PRL all in one step. or just *228(option 1 to program your phone) then call again and do option 2 to update the PRL.
Thanks again, you've been a great help!
ive been following the #778 method, but it wont let me change the MDN.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

HTC Desire and Page Plus

Hey guys, I have a Desire CDMA that was on US Cellular. They claim that the ESN has been released from their network. I have rooted the phone with no problems. Page Plus was able to add it to their network fine but it just will not activate. Verizon, of course, is no help either. Should I find a stock 2.1 and re-flash?
I see people selling Page Plus Desires so I'm needing to know what I'm missing. I did get a guy on the phone who told me the phone needed to be "Manually Programmed". I also went to a Page Plus dealer and he gave me a DUH look when I asked him about it.
I have also installed CyanogenMod V7.0.0 RC2 without any problems what so ever... I just need to change the Network to Verizon instead of US Cellular.
[Edit] I have found out that I need to change the SID number, anyone know where to do this?
Any ideas would be very helpful!
TIA!!
[Edit] I have also discovered the *#*#4636#*#* trick but the OEM info at the bottom of the screen is grayed out... I dont know if this is where you change the SID #? The ##PROGRAM trick did not work but I have already flashed the CyanogenMod so maybe that is why this didn't work?
[Edit3] I found this but the ##PROGRAM is not working, is there another number to get into programming?
-Tap the Phone Icon and dial ##7764726 then tap phone icon
-SPC Password is 000000 and tap verify
-select User Activation
-Tap MIN Box and delete existing info and add your MIN *
-Enter MDN as well
-Find SID # and input it here **
-Press Done to save info an return to user activation and then press Home key and phone should reset after programming
so this does work? and do they give you the numbers you need to enter?

[Q] My cspire r800x(cdma) thinks its a Verizon phone.

Earlier today I had a successful attempt at installing FXP's CM9 126 build. As a requirement I had to flash the R800x_4.0.2.E.57_Verizon.ftf via Flashtool to my phone before I could flash the Rom. My phone's provider is Cspire(formally Cellular South), and after the ftf my phone is trying to make contact with Verizon for activation, leaving my unable to call or text on my own provider. I've tried flashing a nand backup I had of one of Codename Andriod that I created when everything was working perfectly, but it didn't fix the problem.
Thank you for your time and please let me know what I can to fix this.
Sincerely,
Frag_Bag

You'll need to change the build.prop and apn settings. Found this from a quick search with someone that has a working verizon build.prop that is said to work on cspire
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dgteu3ziweifix8/build.prop
and his working apn settings:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6cs5tqwdlcstt3s/apns-conf.xml
Also found this:
You could push the apn with ADB but i just edited mine with root explorer in /System/etc and restarted the phone.
As for CDMA Workshop is a service software for CDMA phones it is used for flashing phones to different carriers to put it plain as possible in my mind but it can be used for countless useful tasks, just Google it to read more. But the below method was much easier.
Dialing ##7764726(##program) is used to manually program your phone.
After dialing ##7764726 press call it will prompt for a SPC password it should be 000000
Then click User Activation
MIN1 I put the last 7 digits of my phone number.
MIN2 put the first three of phone number(area code).
MDN is your 10 digit phone number.
CDMA Sys ID put 1996
IMSI_11_12 put 12
Then hit back and click on SID/NID Pairs:
SID_1: put 1996
NID_1: put 65535
After this hit back till you exit all the way back out of the menu the phone will reboot after it reboots i dialed *22801 it didn't say anything just sat at the activation screen for about 30sec. Then it said reprogramming the phone then rebooted agin after that i was back on C spire.
Links are a little old but this is all I could find:

The Second post of the page explains a lot more about PRL and SID/NID just good to understand what your kinda messing with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19537266
Also i don't know if this is the best way to accomplish this task but it took me awhile to figure out this fix it worked for me but i can't guarantee anything also im not responsible if something goes wrong and you brick(its always possible) but i am willing to help to the best of my abilities

I don't think you'll need the 1. Just the last 7 numbers. Try that to see if it works. And just so you know, I'm on verizon so all my answers are coming from google at the moment lol
I left the number the way it was and finished the steps, everything is working as it should and I can call and text. Thank you very much. Now i just have to find a fix for Mobile data. I really do appreciate it.

Mobile data would be in the build.prop and the apn settings, You should be able to use pieces from the build.prop I posted to work whatever rom you're on. I got to assume verizon and cspire are close to identical since they're both cdma. Half way there right?
