I seen this the other day when looking into activating a mogul on verizon for a friend. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35155 - I would imagine your problem is much the same as the problem pointed out here, and it doesn't sound like it will go away until you can get an official alltel rom to update the eri/pri settings.

preciate that i am sure that the fact that all the roms out now for the diamond are sprint/telus roms that you are exactly right which is what juggalo was talking about when he said it was sprint config a couple of posts back but i am going to read this one to give me a better understanding hopefully.

No problem, and glad I could help. Like I said, I just remembered reading something very similar not more than 3 days ago...

Yes.

Alltel has an exclusivity agreement with RIM for the Thunder that gives them sole rights to the device provided they sell enough of them to meet RIM's defined quota.

So if your VWZ and you have more faith in Blackberry devices than you do WM then does it make sense to sell real competition to your new 'flagship' phone?

But they don't want to be seen as not offering it, and to the uninformed there will be no "real" difference (though we all know better).. so that all said, it makes perfect business sense to cripple it.

First, of all I would like to say thanks to all that have contributed to this project. I have successfully flashed my Sprint Touch Diamond to Alltel. Now the next step, I tried to activate the phone on Alltel's web site and it says that the phone is apart of another network so it cannot activate it. I have searched about changing the MSL number to 000000 but I am having no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions on the next steps to get this phone working on the Alltel network?

Thanks again I hope to contribute $ when I am successful!

i dont know if CDMA workshop will allow you to change it but i do know QPST should. in service programming.

Here is all you'll need. Read this post here. Then download QPST here. I've attached GetSPC this will help you get your MSL#... I've heard this procedure works the same on the Diamond. Good luck.

Oh and you'll need this driver for windows.
