Esn change do I have to change the epst settings?

[Unknown Zone]

Have you even tried calling tech support on a reg phone since *2 does not work yet and tell them what you are trying to do just talk to them nice, I am pretty sure they will help you out and give you all that info since you are trying to get the phone back on the sprint network.

I wish to purchase a Telus Touch Pro 2 and use it with Bell. Is this possible without an ESN charge as I refuse to do that due to illegal nature. I have much experience with PPC 6700 that last three years and buildos so I'm no luddite I just never messed with this aspect of the smartphones.

An ESN change is not illegal, it is something that is carrier/phone lingo when you change handsets on the account. Cloning is illegal and probably what you are thinking.

What setting aren't sticking the HDR and PPP username and passwords in security, the MDN, the banner name, what setting? and how are you saving them?

trying to get internet to work so i go into user1 profile and put my phone number@metropcs.com and hit save and when the phone resets it goes right back to the stock sprint one.

That sucks, there is only 1 100% cure for that reflash the sprint shipped ROM and DO NOT ALLOW customization to run. After that you can edit your EPST and find a good custom ROM load it up drop in a carrier and WAP/MMS cab for Metro and you should be good. I would not recommend using the Sprint ROM or you'll have problems.
DO NOT ALLOW CUSTOMIZATION TO RUN OR YOU WILL BE SORRY! You will loose all your setting including PRL and the SPC will reset.

you either need a custom rom or delete the guardian file.

You misunderstand the law, changing an esn is legal as long you arent trying to clone someone else's phone for malicious purposes. You own the phone and you are well within your legal rights to do what ever you want to it. Its the same as putting custom firmware on a psp, its not illegal to change sony's code to play homebrew apps, its illegal when you do it to pirate games.


And to the OP of this thread, read this site http://www.mobile-files.com/forum/sh...d.php?p=643196

EDIT: I understand its frowned upon to talk about esn changes here, but as far as the legality of it (or lack thereof) , someone please post a link to the law or some sort of case precedent that shows its illegal no matter what. I think most people on this site just regurgitate the same stuff that everyone else says about it being illegal without knowing any hard facts

When i dial *2 i get this weird message stating that "the number or code I have dialed is incorrect, please try dialing again.". When I ##778# it still shows all of the cricket settings in the EPST menus. Is there a way to make it just as when I had it from sprint w/o re-locking it?

Sorry about the double post, but you could always flash back to stock rom, get the msl with bafmsl, press ##786# and then hit reset and enter the msl code. it will hard reset and reset all the epst settings back to what it came from the factory and it will reprogram all of its sprint settings by itself
