Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel

GTO1988 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-19-2008, 06:07 PM

I was just wondering if I could possibly flash my Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel, if anyone could make a custom ROM to do so, I have a treo 800 on sprint and need to bring the Diamond over to alltel, any help would be great.

once alltel gets a diamond released I think it shouldn't be an issue but I dont know if any carrier cab exists for jumping your diamond to alltel quite yet.

there is speculation that the Alltel diamond will be a gimped Diamond.

also a ROM has nothing to do with your carrier. you will have to get alltel to activate the MEID. you can have a sprint rom on it still. or you can install a custom rom.

Alltel / Verizone dont Accept Unregistered MEID till now. No Luck folks

Try it in Cricket or MetroPCS

Even if the ESN doesnt show up in Alltel's system (which it wont since its a Sprint phone) they will still hook it up for you. All you need to do is unlock the phone and reprogram the MSL# from the Sprint specific number to 000000 for Alltel. You just tell Alltel you got the phone off ebay and if they ask if its an Alltel phone tell them that it says Alltel on it and when you turn it on

I work as an indirect for Alltel and Sprint, so getting the Diamond activated will not be a problem as I already have the MSL#. The thing about it is that i need the data and everything to work.

I dont see why your data wouldnt work. I just recently canceled my Sprint contract because I moved to a non Sprint area here in VA. So I took my new Sprint Touch and unlocked it and hooked it up with Alltel. Now everything I read said I couldnt do it or if I did I would not have data. Well.... I do and everything works just fine. So dont worry about it I'm sure it will work just fine.

Well I don't believe we have an Alltel dump (is it out yet?) so the carrier settings are up to you. You'll need to go into EPST and program them manually. Any Alltel tech should be able to walk you through that, it's as easy and opening EPST, typing in your SPC, and changing a few strings.

So Alltel would activate any CDMA phone?

Interesting...too bad they don't exist in the Northeast.

Just bought a diamond from a friend and put it on alltel yesterday. I manually changed the epst setting and then did an esn swap. everything works but i have the annoying roaming indicator that will not go away no matter what i do.
