Hi everyone
I currently have a new Alltel HTC Touch Pro that's going to be activated on the Verizon network either this Thursday or Friday. I have a Verizon TP that is ok, but I like the Alltel one better. Anyway, I tried to get it activated and hit the ESN registration road-block at first. However, luck shined on me and a friend of a friend is helping me out. He has the authority to get the Alltel ESN added to the Verizon DMD and will do it when he goes back into work on Thursday (or Friday if he's too busy).
Anyway, so it looks like I've got the hardest part pretty much done. I understand that the trickiest part after this is getting all of the services working (voice, sms, mms, & data) on the Verizon network. I'm looking for advice on what else I might need to do, if I've missed anything, to get the phone working.
The Alltel phone is unlocked using cmonexs image / hard-spl 0.37. I updated the PRL with the file 51056.prl. I'm not sure where to get the latest PRL, or if I even need to do so (the phone shows that I'm getting rA, EV-DO Rev A). For obvious reasons, I REALLY don't want to be roaming all of the time. I'd like to flash it to the latest MightyROM, but I'm not sure if I should do that before or after the ESN is registered & the phone is activated (or if it even matters). It also seems like I might need to go into the phones EPST settings and reset some information, and/or ask them to do a DMU Reset to get the data working. I'm assuming I need to install the Verizon carrier cab? Do I need to install the Arcsoft MMS cab too?
Sorry for the long-winded post and the questions, but I wanted to be thorough so you guys aren't in the dark. Plus I really want to get this going ASAP, and want to make sure I can take care of everything in a single call with my friend. I did read a bunch of other threads, but a lot of the info was either conflicting or old, so I figured this would be more efficient. Thanks for the advice in advance!
