Has anyone been able to modify the MSL on the Harrier/PPC6600/XV6600 yet?
My unit was on a prepaid Sprint account and I would like to activate it on a Verizon account.
Thanks!
I can change the MSL on the Harrier.
however It may or may not work for you, I dont think Im allowed to post that info due to confidentiality stuff.
so dont pm me, and I wont reply with something to try.
cheers.
:wink:
I have the same issue. I have a Harrier/PPC6600 from Sprint and I want to use it on my Canadian CDMA provider. My provider will not have a problem with the ESN# being clean, but the phone needs to be unlocked to use their PRL. I'm checking with the carrier to see if they can do it or if they purchase their phones elsewhere. If the carrier can do it, great - otherwise I also need a way to unlock the phone.
Thanks

see how rhauff gets along,
if it works for him im sure he'll be able to point you in the right direction.
the other thing to try is a bit of social engineering and ring sprint, ask to speak to there Corporate team and just explain to them that the company you work has a couple of harriers and you want to swap the numbers and could they please send the reprogramming details to you via email,
then explain you will ring the back as soon as the devices get to you (as they are currently in transit) and once you have changed the numbers on them.
it will work.. trust me.
Inane, you are just full of good ideas! I'm still waiting for the battery so I can try the reprogramming, it'll probably be next week before that happens. I will let you guys know how it works out though!
Finally got the batteries last weekend, ordered them from 2mangoes on Ebay and got them direct from China! They seem to be good, perfect fit and last about as expected.
Thanks for your help inane, I did use the MSL access code quite a bit. I think it is safe to post here, I have seen it listed, have not seen it forbidden and it is all over pdaphonehome.com.
Here are my result, this is a copy of my post on pdaphonehome.com:
Well, I had searched and didn't find any success on this. I posed the question hoping somebody had solved this but hadn't posted it yet.
Anyway, I was able to switch this over (only partially at the moment!) using the existing Sprint MSL. A Verizon MSL of 000000 would only be required to do OTA programming (PRL & network info).
My procedure was as follows:
1. Program the PPC6600 with Verizon's radio ROM to support their EVDO PRL.
2. Using ##775#, load Verizon's PRL 50430.prl.
3. Using ##MSL#, change Mobile number (MDN) and MSID. I used my mobile number as the MSID, which I think is correct.
4. Using ##778#, under MSL settings, I changed the SID/NID to 26 which is Verizon's ID for the Mpls/St. Paul market. I don't know if this step was required. As I understand it, Verizon may ignore this, not sure.
Ok, that's pretty much it. Called in and had the ESN activated on my account. They REQUIRED me to put a data plan on, I went with the $0.015/Kb.
Anyway, outbound calling works fine, but inbound lands at my voice mail. Txt messaging no go yet, and no Internet. I did enter my username [email protected] and password=vzw, and set DNS addresses, but still need to get a proper IP for PHA and SHA (still have Sprint's numbers).
Any ideas on what I need to change to make inbound calling to work?
EDIT*************************
OK, solved the outbound (long time ago, actually). I set roaming to HO, home only. Now in and out bound work great. I got data connection working by setting, under 3GDATA1, to "No IP".

How about i-mate pda2k evdo, is this setting work fine on this PDA?
Sorry, can't help you with that. I've only worked on the HTC Harrier.
After you entered the ##775#, it asks for an unlock code. Where to you get the unlock code it is looking for?

##778# Hacks
I can't take credit for these, but they work...
Shorten time/ number of rings to answer
Credit to Elkay
Thread
Here is a tip from the 6700 forum that works on the Touch (credit to Elkay in the 6700 forum). You may have noticed that when someone calls you it may take several rings on their end before the Touch begins to ring. The reason for this delay is the “slot cycle index,” or how often your Touch polls the towers for an incoming call. Default appears to be about 5 seconds—way to long. Of course, as always, there is a compromise to be made—the more often it polls the tower, the more power it uses. Anyway here is the hack:
To do this, you will need your MSL number, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you.
1) Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST).
2) You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone.
3) From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls, etc. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2 (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2).

Force EV-DO/1X, quicker ring response
Same thread
Here is another tip from the same 6700 post by Elkay.
1) Follow steps 1 through 3 in the Shorten time/ number of rings to answer tip:
Also on this page is your preferred operation mode. The Default is Automatic, which is the best available mode (EV that will roll back to 1X when EV is unavailable). There are times when you might be in a fringe area and your mode may cycle frequently and this can seriously drain your battery. Setting this to HDR will force EV-DO only if you demand an EV-DO connection. Changing this setting to CDMA Only will force the phone to ignore an EV-DO tower and maintain only a 1xRTT connection.

Anyone else have a problem when entering the ##778# on the phone dialer? I have been getting random errors (67 and 1012) so i called sprint yesterday to try and resolve them. I was told to type in ##3282# (i think) to enter a service menu. It does nothing.
I press the green talk button to bring up the dialer, type ##778# and nothing hapens. If i press the green talk button again, it attempts to dial ##778#. Anyone care to give me a heads up on something stupid i am missing here? Thanks.

I had this problem once. Make sure you don't have some sort of custom dialing skin on. These won't let you access special ## codes. Didn't notice that untill l couldn't get a phone activated with a CSR and figured that was the problem.

actually different dialers as well as different radios wont allow the codes to work right. i always changes the things i need first and then load the goodies on there.
Ill try that. Anything to avoid a hard reset. I have so many little BS apps on this damn thing. Probably good to clean it up anyways.

Got it fixed. I removed a bunch of programs i had installed. Dont remember which one actually did it, but i had a bunch of UI tweak programs installed. Thanks for the help guys.

I had the same problem until I found this thread. After removing "EquinoXe Wizard reTOUCHED Dialer" and soft-rebooting, it worked.
## # & error code
or 91 , 94, 71, 1012 errors are Registration/Provisioning errors. You have to contact tech support 1 800 639 6111 to have them re-provision your services. More than likely your PRL check sum ,User name, HA Shared Secret (should always be the word "secret") or your AAA Shared secret (randomly generated by Sprint) is invailid. In any case, they would have to reset on their end.
As far as the ##data# if you dont really know what your changing, I'd do some research first

OK, maybe I am the last one to know this but how do I find my MSL code on the Bell Mobility Touch?
You can get the MSL by using a program called GetSPC.
There is a link further down in this post:
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=151852
Do be careful when forcing your phone to use EVDO only -- you won't be able to make/receive any calls or SMS as both of those services require the use of 1xRTT.
is there a way to debrand the sprint htc touch? i'm using it outside the USA!!

"Unlock"?? You're referring to a CDMA Touch, right (which is why you're in the Vogue forum)? I don't think you can unlock these. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the only carriers using CDMA are Sprint and Verizon (in US). If you wanted to use this with a GSM carrier (ATT, T-Mo) you wouldn't be able to regardless of what you do to the phone.
If you are referring to the MSL number, please read the post that you, yourself, quoted.
Hi, i just bought the phone off ebay about a week back.
through a contact my dad has in Reliance(carrier in India), i have somehow manged to get my meid registered., the phone has been rooted and is running stock sense 2.0 ROM. every time i go to wireless&networks and set the network selection to home only, i get no signal. putting it on automatic gives me a roaming sign on the network bar. dialing *228(while roaming is on) brings me to a reliance answering machine(?). after choosing my language, it tells me that my phone could not be activated.
please help. many people have manged to do this but im not getting any response from them.
thanks, Sid.
Dial ##778# and change settings manually. The code is 000000. You will have to change Home SID to the SID for Reliance and change MDN and MSID. If your old phone worked, easiest way is to change the settings to match your old phone.

I've tried dialing ##778#, but nothing happens. just takes me back to the dialer. should i change my ROM?
How about ##7764726#?
If neither will work, you might have to flash to a stock ROM. Both should definitely work from a stock ROM.

yeah, that didnt work either. flashing to a stock ROM. will post back if it works. thanks, Sid.
just recovered the stock ROM and ##778# works! ive also manged to get the prl from my carrier, but i dont have my old phone. i can probably arrange the the MID no.s etc, though. Also, i dont have to change the ESN, do i?
I think these are the things you will have to change:
MDN is your full phone number including area code. In the US, this is 10-digits.
MIN1 in the US is typically the 3-digit area code.
MIN2 is typically the 7-digit local number.
MIN1 and MIN2 can be different than the MDN, but that's very rare and usually only happens if you've had a phone number change.
MNC and MCC will need to be changed for your country.
MCC+MNC+MIN1+MIN2 = IMSI, which is the the subscriber identification for your cell provider so you need to get those 4 settings correct.
Home SID will need to be changed to Reliance.
I think MCC, MNC, and Home SID you should be able to get from any working CDMA phone that successfully connects to Reliance. Maybe get it from a friend or family member's phone. MDN, MIN1, and MIN2 should be the only things unique to your phone.
No, if your MEID is registered, you don't have to change it or the ESN.

hi this is vivek i also have a droid and it also has the same problem but the meid is not registered and it is rooted and has a stock rom but when i dial ##778# it juz come to the dailer so what shud i do pls help me out
MEID will need to be registered. There's really no reason to proceed if it's not, because the network won't see your phone.
##778# sometimes doesn't work on my phone, I often have to reboot it and immediately try ##778#. Oh, and you have to hit Dial after entering it. It will ask for a password, and that's going to be 000000.
However, without having your MEID registered, you won't get anywhere.

hi, make sure you get the a key. im having trouble getting that. last piece of the jigsaw i guess.
Usually a fresh activation doesn't require an A-Key, but if you change MDN/MSID too much, it'll trigger a security lockout in the fraud detection system, and then you will need the A-Key to reset it.
I don't know how it is with Reliance in India, but with Verizon in the US, you have to call a higher level tech support person to get the A-Key. One way to get around that, is to have the ESN/MEID on your account changed to a different device, and then change it back.

I have a flashed Evo that I used for one month on Boost mobile. I canceled that account and ported my number to Verizon PP (not important). Today I tried to port my wife's number from Sprint to Boost and use my previously flashed EVO as her phone. The number was ported successfully and the account is active. However, I cannot get the phone to work. I've tried zeroing out my MSID and MSN to initiate a hands-free activation but that doesn't seem to be working. I cannot make phone calls or access the internet without Wi-Fi. The phone is rooted, obviously, and I'm using a stock-like Sense rom that allows for the ## codes to work. Any ideas? I've spent most of the day searching, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

##786# will do a hard reset and will initiate OTA activation on a stock rom. If your rom is based off of a sense rom it should work if it has the EPST codes working. Did you try manually programming in the new phone number and MSID? (##123456# 123456 should be your MSL) you can get that info off of your acct on boosts site. Also, go to about phone, and make sure that MEID matches the MEID listed on your boost acct. As long as you have correct MEID, MDN (phone number), and MSID, talk and text should work. Also as a last thought what PRL are you currently on? It may not be connecting to sprint/boost towers if you still have a verizon PRL
Ok, so I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 [SPH-L710] that I want to flash to Page Plus.
I've looked through Google, and have it working CDMA - 1xRTT
For the life of me, I can't find a way to get it working on 3G
Every conversation goes to: PM Me
[but the Convos are about a year old...]
Or use a Donor Phone
[But my MEID won't Stick...]
I have the SPC Code, and the 16 digit passcode for my SGS3
[and for the donor phone, but I hear you can get it working with no donor phone]
PRL: 53269-page-plus-sprint-phones
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Pretty sure you should edit those pictures so they dont show your MDN (phone number), MIN, and MEID.
The few people who know how to get 3g without a donor don't want to share, so you will need a donor to get the keys or find somebody willing to get them for you.

Ok, so you have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3, [SPH-L710] and you want to Flash it to Page Plus?
[I'm assuming this will work for ANY carrier, but we all know what assuming does...]
Take it to dealer and have the MEID activated.
Flash the PRL of carrier you want to switch to, restart phone.
You'll also need to change the SPC on the Phone to 000000
Here's the trick, you need another phone with the dial pad open and ready.
hold the other phones speaker to the mic of the S3
Dial *228 on the S3 you want activated.
When it asks you to press 1, press one on the other phone,
The S3 will hear the dial, and proceed to program it for you.
[Back in the day if you recorded the tones that were made from a payphone after paying, you could play it back,, it would hear the dial, and think you paid, when you didn't]
Now Flash a correct PRL [I have provided a copy I used for Page Plus]
No Roaming Signal
