HTC 6800 from Qwest to Verizon??

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?

[Q] Help Flashing HTC EVO to Cricket please

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?

Default Verizon PRL needed

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.

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!!

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.

Activating rooted Evo 4G on Cricket

I have a rooted HTC EVO 4G with Jiminy V rom installed and was going to flash with CDMA workshop, but before that I went to cricket to ask for a new line( I wanted MIN/MDN numbers). I have never been a cricket customer before.
My question, How do I open an account with a flashed phone? The guy at the store simply looked at my evo and said he could't do it. Am I suppose to use the model number of a cricket android to pose as mine in their database? He said he couldn't open an account without an esn of a cricket phone.
Thanks for any response
-edit-
I guess I need to have an existing phone line in order to port over the information and plan onto the EVO phone.
Is this correct? anyone

they're just being lazy and also want you to buy their stuff.(they tecnically dont support that phn cause they dont sell it and dont have a working rom on it)
you can activate online, over the phn. or goto an authorized dealer. (not a cricket corporate store, if they're the ones giving you trouble)
you need to fully flash your phn for cricket. and with cricket, your min/mdn numbers will be your 10 digit phn. number.

Yeah, thanks I ended up being able to activate with the android plan. Only problem i have is that the calls are sometimes sent directly to voicemail without my phone ringing and since there's no visual voicemail for cricket I miss calls for hours/days

Activate Metropcs data on activated Sprint phone possible?

My Sprint network services suck, and I still have my old metropcs account active.. so I was wondering.. would it be possible to activate metropcs data on my 4g touch activated for sprint?

Anyone? Not trying to steal service as my metropcs account is still active. I can use the modem mac from my old phone if needed,

... but note in that thread says 4G won't work. Might help you though.

I already know I wont get 4G, but working 3G sure would be nice. I want to try and set it up for testing. I am currently using forced roaming with the hacked verizon prl, but if I keep this up I will eventually be kicked from Sprint.

Yes, you can flash metro pcs onto your Sprint ET4G. I have mine flashed. However, I can't get mms to work. So, 3g works, text, talk...no mms. I had someone from Craigslist flashed it for $40...

Hey, I have been at this for some time. I'm very confused about some things. I currently have the Samsung Epic 4g Touch (Galaxy S2). To my knowledge my SPC is now set to 000000, and most the QPST settings (OR CDMA settings if you prefer) are set and correct.
I was wondering if there's anyway you can shoot me a response or PM with how to get everything working. I don't even have data at all. I can't seem to figure it out.

Doesn't Metro use Sprint towers?
If so, I doubt you will notice a difference in speed/signal strength!

I have also unlocked my phone and have set my setitgs correctly via QDMA and as far as I know MetroPCS has stopped updating ESN numbers unless its a Metro phone. any news on this?
