Turning an XV6800 into a Mogul

Silent_Patriot · #1 (**permalink**) 11-19-2008, 07:35 PM

I've seen a lot of people asking about putting a Sprint device on the Verizon Wireless network, but what about the other way around?

I'm too tired to put up a good fight with the search button, so help me out please?

I would check this thread out first... It will help you unlock your phone, and if you are so inclined, creating your own custom ROM to put your xv6800 on Sprint...

Then you would want to upload a Sprint ROM onto your phone.. After that, you would have to call Sprint and have them activate the phone... Obviously, I glossed over a lot of details, but that is the basic way to go...

Thanks Big D. I'm not a bad chef and have been cooking ROMs for my XV6800 and XV6700 before that, so got that part covered, but the link you provided is for converting a Sprint phone to VZW, and I'm trying to go in the other direction from VZW to Sprint.

Sorry about that... I was searching through the forums (like you did.. smart guy) and saw that link... The guy had said it was for Verizon to Sprint... So I took his word for it... I honestly don't see why you couldn't do the conversion... They are both CDMA and both have ESN's... I wish you good luck in doing it..
