How To: Use another carriers HTC on VZW
 
5 Attachment(s)
UPDATE 1/01/10 This thread is now for info only as the *228 opt 3 no longer works to add on another carriers phone and most in tech support are currently unwilling to do a dmd request to add the esn on. This will provide info on how to get the settings right for VZW after you have found your own way to get the esn on :).


UPDATE: Since you can now do a self esn provision via *228 option 3 this will let you add the esn/meid on which will display in the system as "unknown" thus not requiring a data plan on touch pro. This obsoletes the need to call tech support for a DMD request.

1) check your esn is it higher than 05401114111 call customer service at 800-922-0204 and ask them to check if it can be activated also ask them to check it in the DMD esn database. If lower read below (6700 only this is just a rough esn range. 6800 and 6900's from other carriers 100% of the time have to be added in)

Verizon does have a lower esn range if the 6700's esn falls below 05401114111 it is not in verizons esn database. Tech support will have to manually add it which is rather difficult to do. It requires persistence and catching the right knowledgeable tech in the right mood pretty much. There is a way for auth agents to force a foreign esn in using a glitch in the system (THIS LOOPHOLE WAS CLOSED IN THE 8/10 EROES PATCH)but this can only be done on a brand new activation (cannot do on esn swaps) but if you ever change phones the phone will have to be added into the esn database by a tech to use it again. However, the latter method would give you a pretty valid arguement to get it added in as they can see that you were using that esn prior on the network and tell them it was changed in error. **Always say you have an alltel phone for greatest chance of success**

***Update*** For those having trouble getting an esn loaded read this post. Please do not pm me asking for help getting your esn added as I have been bombarded with requests use form here if calls to tech support are unsuccessful http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24855

2) Break that spc code. If you have altell disregard as their spc code is 000000 along with vzw.

Put your phone in dm mode its ##diag talk or ##diag# talk on most phones (carrier dependant search the boards here). Press start (left soft key) and plug in usb cord to both phone and pc if you have vista the drivers will auto install. If you have xp you will need to download the diagnostics drivers attached in this post and manually direct the install to where they were downloaded in your pc.

Place your diagnostic port for the phone on com 2 and run the se47 program it will set the spc to all 0's in less than 2 seconds. Press stop and disconnect phone from usb.
*edit se47 will only work on a 6700 not 6800 or 6900 use getspc and qpst to set spc to all 0's
Method here for non sprint 6800's and 6900's that getspc won't work with http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=126

3) *6700 only* supercid phone's bootloader so any carriers rom will take (not necessary if using no id ruu and helmi's wm6.1 with a bootloader 1.00, 1.02, or 2.02 or with the stock no bootloader rom linked in step 4 **6800 & 6900 supercid method http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...light=supercid this is not needed just for info only as you can just use the olipro or imcokeman unlockers**

You will need bitpim (free program http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/ ) and qpst (dont ask for a link. Hint join mobilefiles.com)

Place the phone in dm mode again ##diag talk or your carriers version of it. Load bitpim and select other cdma phone on port 2 and save the nvm_htc file to desktop. Load xvi32 (hex editor) and change the carrier wording ie. VZW__001 or your carrier's wording (will be 8 spaces) to "11111111" (without quotes) and save file. Use qpst and overwrite the nvm_htc with the supercid nvm_htc file.

4) Create a custom rom using helmi's6.1 search here and read up and make sure to pick verizon in carrier spots (assuming phone is superCID unlocked w/ bootloader 1.04, 2.04 & 2.05 or using NoId RUU with bootloader 2.02, 1.00, & 1.02). If you would like a stock vzw WM5 rom this is a link here to one here that will not change your bootloader version and will work on all bootloaders http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread..._aku3_official

Flash rom I recommend using radio 1.43 on verizon so if you go with a helmi 6.1 search for that radio version or pull it from the stock rom link above.

5) Upload prl via ##prl and load off memory card or use active sync to add it to my docs then do ##prl to load it. After prl load dial a *228 option 1 after the esn change has been done on your account. Do a ##eri to update eri the same way as prl update from memory card or active sync on phone then load it off of phone from ##eri. PRL & ERI are attached to bottom of post. FYI the ERI will not load on most phones it has loaded about 10% of the time for me on 6700's all midwest wireless and 1 of 4 Qwest ones and never on a 6800 or 6900.


5) edit data settings to vzw dial ##778 and enter your new msl of 000000

MIP Profile
Number of profiles: 6
Active user profile index: 0
MIP_MODE: Mobile IP Prefered
MIP Reg Retries: 2

MN HA SPI Set: Enable
MN HA SPI Value: 12C
MN AAA SPI Set: Enable
MN AAA SPI Value: 0 (requires a "2" here for 6800 and 6900)

Primary HA Address: 255.255.255.255
Secondary HA Address: 255.255.255.255
DMU Pub Key: 10
MN Authenticator: 0

6) Upload a dmu key

Put phone in dm mode ##diag talk and load bitpim or qpst and load a vzw dmu key into the dmu folder on the phone. **UPDATE** added a public dmu key a few post down (post #4) so u guys that don't have any existing vzw phones can get on the network.** Some 6800's you can only do this with qpst. Highlight the dmu folder and right click and pick add new file and browse to where you saved the 10.key on your pc then load it via qpst or bitpim to phone.

7) when you attempt a internet connection it will write your shared secret keys and if you followed this correctly data should be working. This is only for a non- VZW phone that has never been in use on VZW with working data. If it has it already has the vzw dmu key it needs a dmu reset if data fails assuming the connection profile is correct and data is active on the account.

THESE DATA SETTINGS WILL WORK ON OTHER CARRIERS 6800's and 6900's IF YOU CAN GET A TECH TO LOAD THE ESN OR WAIT FOR OPEN NETWORK LATER ON THIS YEAR. YOU STILL HAVE TO LOAD A VZW DMU KEY AS WELL. Open network will provide no tech support beyond voice and sms for non-native vzw phones. I have switched several sprint 6800's and 6900's over this method works perfectly with full data just use the correct unlockers and roms.

PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME ABOUT CLONING ESN'S AS THIS IS ILLEGAL AND IS NOT NEEDED TO GET YOUR PHONE ON VERIZON JUST USE THE FORM LINKED ABOVE IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE GETTING THE ESN IN. DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.

These are some pictures of a small fraction of the phones I've converted and I've been known to sell a spare or two to a friend who needed a vzw phone. My wife is getting tired of my pocket pc collection and used an apache the other day for a paperweight :(

Two sprint 6900's one was TMZ's old phone.

Re: How To: Use another carriers 6700 on VZW
 
I will confirm its worked. Have gotten data active on a midwest wireless, cell south , qwest x2 and sprint. I'm an agent so I can get an esn added in if need be though getting the esn if its not in vzw's native database is by far the hardest part.

This is a public vzw dmu 10.key. (Only the 10.zip is needed the other file is for background info only) Enjoy data on VZW!!!

For those who would like to understand more how a public dmu key works with the HA & AAA secret keys this is some rather high technical level reading on it. Again this DMU .pdf is for background informational reading and is not required at all to download or read it unless you want to know how/why this works and how network data transmission/authentication works.

My ESN is higher than the one that you have posted. When I called Verizon they told me that it was not in the system and they could not activate it. Is it worth trying or again?

Use qpst and overwrite the nvm_htc with the supercid nvm_htc file.

4) flash with either helmiwm6 with verizon selected in all carrier spots or the stock vzw rom from http://www.utstar.com/pcd/Downloads/XV6700%20AKU3.zip. Please read bootloader note for helmi's wm6 and comply. Beware stock vzw rom will change bootloader so you cannot use helmiwm6 without having to downgrade bootloader if you ever wanted to go wm6 and stock vzw rom also requires supercid bootloader from step #3.

upload prl via ##prl and load off memory card or use active sync to add it to my docs then do ##prl to load it. After prl load dial a *228 option 1 after the esn change has been done on your account.

6) extract and upload a dmu key

Take a non activated vzw phone(not currently in use) and connect it to bitpim efs read and save the file in the dmu folder which should be 10.key to your desktop. Put 6700 in dm mode ##diag talk and load bitpim and load that dmu key into the dmu folder on the 6700. **UPDATE** added a dmu key a few post down so u guys that don't have any extra vzw phones can get on the network.

7) when you attempt a internet connection it will write your shared secret keys and if you followed this correctly data should be working.

Have you actually tried this method on a 6800/6900? Or is this just a theory.

I'm trying to use a Sprint Mogul on the Verizon Network. When i put it in Diag Mode and run se47.exe I get an error which reads, "Error in reading security". Has anyone else experienced this error? Any solutions?

Re: How To: Use another carriers 6700 on VZW
 
never had an se47 error. Make sure it is diag mode and on com port 2 with com port 2 selected in se47. And yes I have done this on 3 alltel, 2 sprint, 2 qwest, 2 midwest wireless, and one bluegrass. Every last one was fully 100% working.

I have an xv6800 and yes it worked on converting a bad esn sprint 6800 over to vzw which my brother is now using. The vzw dmu key is the secret to getting data live. I had to get tech support to load the sprint 6800 into the device database however. On the 6900 its just a theory but the phones are so similar it should work as well.

I have a sprint 6800 that i'm trying to convert to vzw. I put it in diag mode, Set the Qualcomm Diagnostics Interface Driver to COM2, started se47.exe, set it to COM2 and pressed connect. I still get the same error in reading security. I tried it on a vista computer and an XP and the result is the same. Did I miss something???

This worked for me on a Quest 6700 but not the Sprint 6800... Did you do something different than this to convert your Sprint 6800 to vzw?

UPDATE: The QPST route worked great! I still don't know why se47 didn't... I just followed the directions in this post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...hlight=ppc6800

Thanks Everyone....I've wanted to do this for a year!

drellisdee,

What do you say to the Verizon service person when you are trying to get them to add a bad Sprint ESN in their database? Do you usually get a lot of flack from them, or are they easy going? Please let me know. Thanks.

Just tell them you have an altell 6700 that needs to be added to the esn/ device management database. Don't mention bad esn as they don't check and no need to raise any flags. It usually takes about 3-5 business days to get a device added in.

Hi drellisdee, thanks, but no go - tried with helmi6.1 and also the Verizon AKU3.3. Both error 120: Country ID. :( This is the first phone I've attempted to cross-flash, so maybe I missed something?

[Edit] Well, I changed out the USB cable, and actually got it to write to the phone! Had to run UNI_exitbootloader.exe and now all is well :)

Thanks for a great tutorial! Couldn't have done it on my own.

I am trying the step quoted above but when I explore the phone, the NVM folder has an cross over it and won't let me open it or write anything in it. Do you have a suggestion? This was a Sprint PPC6800 phone that I am putting on VZW.

Got a question for you...

I've been doing GPS testing on the Titan with dcd, and one of the tests was loading the new Sprint PRI on my Verizon xv6800. After I refurbished the radio back to the Verizon PRI, everything works right again EXCEPT data. I've read through this thread and it sort of sounded like a few steps might work for me. Here's the issue... in EPST, under M.IP Default Profile, my HA Shared Secret and AAA Shared Secret are both blank. Under Security, my HDR AN AUTH Password and PPP Password are both blank. These values should have encrypted data. I've connected successfully with QPST and wrote 10.key to my DMU folder as that's what it said to do in the first post. The values are still blank, and I still don't have data. Any ideas on what could be causing this issue?

Why? This thread is relevant to my issue, and the original poster also references 6800 devices in the first post. A thread like this does not exist in the Titan forum.

If your Ha & AAA are blank and your settings are exactly like this your secrets will be written this first time you attempt a data connection and it should connect and write your secrets. If not call vzw tech support and tell them you did a hard reset and data wont work and ask for a DMU reset or change phones then do a data or mobile web connection then change back that fixes it sometimes too.

How did you get it to work?!?! I cannot see my phone in qpst and been trying everything to get it to work. Also what / where has to be changed to com2?

The se47 program will not work on 6800 or 6900 only on 6700's. To change on xp go to control panel/ system/ hardware/ device management and find the phone. Right click it and you change the com port under advanced. The com port needs to be 2 for a 6700 with se47 program only. To detect the phone make sure you have the drivers installed from post#1 if you have xp. Put it in dm mode which is ##diag (vzw) or ##diag# (sprint) and it should display in qpst you might have to click add new port for the phone to be visable.

"5) Upload prl via ##prl and load off memory card or use active sync to add it to my docs then do ##prl to load it. After prl load dial a *228 option 1 after the esn change has been done on your account. Do a ##eri to update eri the same way as prl update from memory card or active sync on phone then load it off of phone from ##eri. PRL & ERI are attached to bottom of post."

I have followed all the steps up to this point and everything updated successfully, including the prl. When I try to update the eri, I select the file and click okay. It asks if I want to "update the items" and I select "Yes". I get an error saying "Write Item 'Update ERI' error." Am I doing something wrong, or could the eri from your post be incompatible? I have attempted it multiple times. Thanks for any help! The how-to is great!

I have not figured out how to 100% of the time load the vzw eri on another carriers 6700. I have converted about 40 now and only had succesfully loaded the eri about 30% of the time. I have tried everything including the vzw PRI ppst update. Use this for reference I got 3 brand new midwest wireless 6700's never before in service and identical in every way and only one would load the eri. I found 0 differences in the software and hardware before or after conversion or in the EFS. However the eri is non-essential to have the phone fully operational on vzw it just wont show the verizon wireless banner.

Thought I would update for everyone: I got an Alltel PPC 6800 on VZW. Here's how:

1) Logged into VZW My Business Account
2) Account Maintenance
3) Step 1: Enter cellphone number, click search
4) Action: Activate Equipment
5) Enter HEX ESN from Alltel phone
6) Ran through http://ppc.stoleyour.net/xv6800/ instructions to update radio, rom and carrier cab (thanks to Lord Cruik Shank nice howto)
7) Ran through http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20090 Steps 5 - 7 to load the DMU Key with QPST (thanks to drellisdee)
8) ##778 Edit Security HDR Password to HEX ESN

Everything seems to be working I haven't tested the speed but EV stays on the screen. I also haven't test GPS yet. Will report back later.

Everything is work A-OK the PPP password should be blank and HDR should be vzw. I did have to call vzw and have them reset my DMU key after i flashed a couple diffrent times. I tried loading the 10.key again but it didn't work.

After vzw reset mu DMU key I had data.

GPS works great .. did the reg edit hack and seems to lock on faster then without. just FYI.

Thanks.

Incorrect after a *228 it will rewrite the ppp and hdr usernames. The first time it attempts a data connection on vzw it will write the correct aaa and ha evdo key after you put a vzw dmu key on it. I've done it over 40 times on apaches, titans and vogues. This will not work if the phone has ever been on vzw before then it requires a dmu reset.

Does anyone know if this method will work for the Diamond? I really want the
Diamond from Sprint since its a superior phone rather than the POS Verizon plans to release

Your assuming that the leaked information is correct. I have started hearing lately that the early info was incorrect. It is still all rumors though, at least for now.

I'm sure its gonna be the case considering Verizon is gonna be pushing the Blackberry Storm and they have to sell a certain number of them to keep it exclusively. It just makes sense to me but I hope I'm wrong.

If you are having ERI (roaming indicator) problems here is a rough workaround that I've put together for my converted sprint -> verizon 6900
