Need Help Flashing 6800 To Cricket - Stuck On Roaming

Hello - I've been surfing the boards here and at HoFo for three days, and I just can't figure this out. I think my problem may be because of where I live (Las Vegas). But I could really use some help. I promise, I've searched everywhere for the answer!

I have a sprint Mogul (HTC 6800) that I want to use with Cricket. I am using WM 6.1 with the last HTC revision, no cooked ROM, radio 3.42.02. I tried using CDMA workshop, but I use Vista, and I can't get my computer to assign a COMM port to a USB port (sorry, I'm not that tech savvy). So I used these instructions... http://www.howardforums.com/showpost...6&postcount=10 and followed them to the letter. I also followed another post that I can't find right now that said to add your SID/NID number in, but I can't figure out what my SID number is (it gave me a NID). Is that important to my phone working?

So I've tried using prls: 38140, 1013, 1042, 1050, 38515, and currently 38944. The last gets me into digital roaming. When I dial *228, it welcomes me to the Verizon Wireless network (WTF???) and asks me to press 1 to activate my phone. I do, and it tells me I can't be activated at this time.

Cricket, obviously, is no help, even though I've given them my ESN. They told e that they can't guarantee that some services will work on flashed phones.

One last thing, my "cricket" cheap *** phone shows a prl file of 29142. Any thoughts?

Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to make sure I included as much info as possible.
