Phone: Qwest PPC6700 flipped to Cricket

Problem: I had prepped the phone to be programmed OTA. I hit *228 and nothing. It then dawned on me that the SPC code was not the typical 000000 on this phone and that when the OTA system was trying to unlock the phone for NAM programming, it was failing because by default Cricket uses 000000.

At that point I went ahead and fired up QPST and the EFS explorer and found my nvm_security file and went ahead to set the SPC to 000000... But in a moment of what can only be described as complete idiocy... I set the hex to 00 00 00 00 00 00 rather than 30 30 30 30 30 30!!!

Needless to say rather than the 000000 I wanted I now have a broken SPC code.

What I need help with:I need a way to "force" the correct nvm_security file back onto the phone. I had save a copy of it on my PC in its correct form and need a way to get it on the phone. Normally you can use QPST or any other "normal" solution... The problem is they all require the SPC in order to write to the phone. Kind of a catch 22... I need the SPC to fix the SPC!

Is there anyone out there who knows of anyway to force the file on there or where I may go to get the directory unlocked?

Any ideas will be appreciated!

*EDIT*
Perhaps a better way to look at this would be to ask it this way:

Lets say that the nvm_security file becomes corrupt and is no longer useful. You are no longer able to enter an SPC to program the phone. Is there a way to replace this file with a new non corrupted version WITHOUT having to enter the code?
