Hi guys first of all im in chicago I know that cricket is a triband but i also know that the HTC evo is also a triband phone. I uploaded the prl 4499. I already have the esn number registered with cricket but the ota will not go true. I also added the city SID 6534 yet the phone is not working. when i try to make a call it says sorry your account could not be validaded. or when I try to dial the *228 it says THE NUMBER OR CODE YOU HAVE DIAL IS INCORRECT AND TO CHECK. please help. what files do I need to truly flash it to cricket. I am lost. please help.
don't mean to bump this so far up, but i've also read that EVO is also a triband, I live in one of cricket's triband markets and i want to figure out how to set its frequency to the triband ranges?

Okay, I was given a Verizon HTC Touch by a friend that switched to AT&T. I did my research, found the stock Alltel ROM and unlocker. Upgraded the Rom and called Alltel tech support to manually program and activate the phone. It works but it says I am roaming all the time, even in my home area. Also my email won't work and when I try to update roaming (*228) it says, "Welcome to the Verizon network".
Being that I am a noob at this I am pleased I have made it this far. Can anyone tell me what I have missed or overlooked?
Many thanks,
Mike
Well I found out what the problem is. The PRL is incorrect. I need (according to Alltel tech support) PRL # 30031.
Surely someone here has run into this problem unless all you Alltel people aren't using the internet. Please help.............................
Well if I keep on going I will have answered all of my own questions. I found the PRL and updated it. Now I can tower update on Alltel but still can't connect to the internet. I keep getting "Incorrect name and password" even though they are correct. User is phone [email protected], Password is "alltel".
Anybody.....anybody?

You HA Shared key is probably wrong, which I don't know how you can reset. I did it by using ##786 and then doing a restore but not all roms support it.
I am having the same problem with internet. I did find that to activate it you can dial *22801 here and it dialed alltels system instead of Verizon. Try *228 (00-09) to find how to update roaming and activate your phone. Im still waiting to find out if you can fix the internet and MMS. If you find out PM me with the info.
I have a Qwest HTC 6800 that I flashed to a Verizon ROM and activated using *228, #3. I did NOT change the ESN. It worked on the voice network for two weeks. While trouble shooting the inability of the device to access the data network I deactivated the phone. Now I can't get it to reactivate using *228, #3. Verizon tech support can't enter the ESN into their system because it doesn't recognize the phone's ESN. I'm stuck with a phone that doesn't have a cellular network.
Has anyone been able to get a Qwest phone to work on the Verizon network? If so, would you please contact me, or post here.
Bump?
Does anyone know for sure whether or not I should be able to activate this phone on the Verizon network? I know I did it once, but I don't understand why it won't OTA activate again.
Could someone recommend a different forum or other source for help?
My HTC Evo is reading Verizon wireless when y dial *228 to set up the device.
the problem is I have used the metropcs prl - 0069/02001/02004 and 03011 and no matter what, it stays in roaming "Analog B" and doesnt go to metro.
Sometimes get some american blabla network.
Phone is rooted and with metrodroid 1.2
The cyanogen doesnt give me option to go to ##3424# or ##3282#
And not getting into ##775# at all.
Some help would be appreciated
the ESN is added to metropcs inventory and with a working phone number.
Need it really bad.
thanks
Double check to make sure the Metro PCS PRL sticks. Go to Settings > About Phone > Status and look under PRL.
Also, check to see if your number shows up under "My phone number."

That's strange. How about under MIN? There should be a number that looks like a phone number there.
You could also try going to the Sprint OTA and *228 from there

Metro has a roaming agreement with verizon. When in one of these roaming zones or sometimes when metro is doing some system maintenance this scenario you describe will occur. When you leave that roaming zone or metro finishes with their system maintenance, whatever the case. Your phone should then just go back to working as before.

Im located in Queen-NY where there is pretty good metropcs coverage,
This is a fresh flashing, has not yet work on metro, Im still trying to get to work.
I've been trying to set it up for 4 days in a roll and its given me only headaches ..lol...
that's why I really need help here.... I have tried few ROM's but it seens to not help at all,,,
Let me ask, is that normal when I go back to QPST -> PPP Config
the Password field be empty? or should there be something that was set before?
Is the prl file to be uploaded to ROAM tab right?
what prl have anybody up running on evo metro?
The EVO will not work on NY. Since there is not PCS band in NY
NY,NJ and some others states only use AWS band which is a new frecuency band not supported by the EVO,
thats why you're on roaming, your EVO can't see any metro network even if you have the latest metro PRL

So, what you mean, I just gotta go to a metropcs area and set up the phone then come back to my area?

You're right, Dual bands cellphones will not work on metropcs NY are...
So what about virgin or cricket in NY...?
will they work if flashed over to them?

sorry to bring a dead thread back to life
but its not working for me either and i have cloned the esn of my huawei ascend into my Evo yet nothing. is still in Analog B
Hey gang,
I bought a used Droid Inc. It has a good ESN with Verizon, but the previous owner had it flashed to Cricket to save money on his monthly bill. I confirmed the ESN is good with Verizon.
These are my attempts thus far to return the phone to the Verizon network:
I reloaded the stock 2.2 software, but it was still on Crickets towers.
Next, I placed a Verizon PRL file (found online, but not sure if it is the right one for this phone) on my SD card, dialed ##775# then 000000 and installed the new PRL.
The phone is now on Verizon's network, but It doesn't turn on 3G data at all.
I tried *228, *22890, *22891, *22899, etc.to update the PRL... but each time it tried the "Programming" part would always end the call after about 10 seconds with a voice message stating my phone could not be programmed.
NOTE: I have not activated the phone yet, so it is without service. Local Wifi only. That shouldn't matter... but thought I would supply all available info =)
Can anyone supply me with a good PRL file for the Droid Incredible?
... or just point me in the right direction
Thnx,
Syn
This happened with my moms phone, you have to manually activate it, I don't quite remember how but give Verizon a call about it.
Sent from God, who uses OMGB-6.
LOL, if you have activated the phone yet....... no 3G... haha
Had the exact problem. I activated on my line and had no 3g and took to verizon store and nobody there could figure it out so the manager overnighted new a brand new one!! Just do that!!
Sent from HTC Droid Incredible
one time on my eris I downloaded a 3g toggle and left it off when deleted it and couldnt get 3g back til i re-downlaoded the app left it to on and deleted it. FWIW
updating to verizon's PRL OTA is *228, opt 2.
PRL update wont pass if the phone isnt activated on the network.. you must activate the ESN with VZW and do an OTA *228 opt 1. If that fails, a manual program is required, and VZW can help you with that over the phone..
(...i kinda work for verizon? but this isn't private info or anything..)
Try this - should be able to d/l a prl & install before activation.

Did you get it MetroFlashed? You have to add the ESN to Metro thru Houdini. And that can almost only be done at a corporate store. Doing all the provisioning thru QPST or DFS or whatever will not get your phone on Metro, even if you have a Metro PRL.
