Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

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.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

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.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

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.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

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

Try it in Cricket or MetroPCS

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

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:)

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

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.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

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.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

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.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

So Alltel would activate any CDMA phone?

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

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

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.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

in other words the data will work. just make sure your M.IP default profile and security settings are correct. let me know if you need them.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

if your roaming. get an alltell PRL and flash it to your device. that will fix it.

ive attached all 3 of alltell's PRL updates that were releases Sept 15th
I would use 40038 PRL as it is made for PDA and smart devices.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

Well that was nice of you!

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

with a silver spoon too

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

Thats exactly what I had to do to stop the roaming icon from flashing.. I also had to make sure my home SID was correct.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

i did update the prl to 40038 which i found from corolada from posts on here and my sid/nid are 142= sid in nc and 65535 for the nid which alltel said are correct and it still has a solid roaming indicator which is annoying because i have to set anything that uses data like email to download when roaming. not a huge deal but still annoying. thanks juggalo x for that though.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

update the prl via ##775 again then after it reboots. dial *228xx (xx is the last digits. telus is 03, alltell might be different) and then update your PRL OTA.

if you have an alltel PRL on there it should NOT be roaming. the prl must not have taken.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

i am going to try that thanks juggalo x. i will post the results after i get off work at nine.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

k, if not then you may legitimately be ion an alltell roaming area.... but u would most likely know if u were.

some times u got to put the prl in more then once... dont know why but i have seen it not take the first time.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

The Alltel Diamond is the exact same (hardware) as the Sprint device.

Verizon is getting the crippled version (if any at all).

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

As long as the icon is blinking your ok. Also the ##775 option 2 will update your roaming capabilities.

I have to wait till I'm on an Alltel tower to dial ##775 because I roam on Verizon and get them when I try to update lol...

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

##775 is EPST for manual PRL download

not the number you dial for OTA PRL update.

##775 brings you to a config screen where u can brows ur device for a prl file to install.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

when you say that xx is the last digits what digits are you refering to and when i did update the prl i used ##775 to do it. when that did not work i did *228 option 2 which is ota roaming upgrade. that did not work either. the ota gave me 30033 and i manually put in through ##775 the 40038. both work as an alltel prl but i still get a solid not flashing roaming icon.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

i am also using the juicy rom 2.5. i am pretty sure that should not affect my ability to update my prl?

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

thats weird, are you sure you're not legitimately roaming

only thing i can think of is the rom is sprint config

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

well i am kind of knew to this stuff so i am pretty sure but i just switched from my sprint touch on alltel which had the same prl 40038 and i am in the same location i do not travel alot. it did not roam on the sprint vogue so i asume it should not on the diamond. is there any other settings in the epst for roaming besides the prl and sid/nid settings? also when i called alltel to find out if i was being charged for roaming he said no and that it showed that i was on an alltel tower.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

you know now that i think about it you are probably right about it being sprint config because that makes sense. i am using an alltel tower full time so it is telling me i am roaming because it is not an alltel rom. anyway the guy at alltel said i was not being charged for roaming so i will live with the icon for now until maybe i can find some way to either remove it or flash to an alltel rom when they get the diamond and the rom is available. i do thank you for being so kind and helping me out.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

##775#

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

im still thinking the prl is not taking. or you need ot cook generic rom wint no carrier settings in it...

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

Alltel is getting the same diamond has sprint. Also alltel will activate any esn number. In the past year I have activated 3 sprint phones, 2 us cellular phones, 2 verizon phones. All without an issue, so i do not see why this would be a problem for anyone to do this, I just bought a sprint diamond, with bad esn number. and it will work fine.

I have activated 2 bad esn sprint touch on my account this month, bad esn for us cellular has well.

Alltel has no problem at all with activating anything.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

conflipper, the the issue isnt activation its PRL. he is roaming because he cant get the alltel prl on the device.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

I was just letting everyone know that alltel will activate it. has for the PRL at this time, I have not seen the diamond, so i am not sure what setting might be happening with it. I should have one this weekend I can try and figure it out then.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

Can anybody provide a rational business reason why Verizon would do this? It makes no sense to me.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

is there a registy hack to disable the indicator? i know i will not be roaming anytime soon and do not want the annoying bar up there. am i alowed to post a pic of my epst settings?

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

i just switched to dharveys rom today and did not let the custimizations run but i asume that because it is still sprint based that even without letting them run it would still not have the alltel settings so it still says i am roaming. in the epst it says my prl is 30033 and i had 40038 on there before i did a *228 option 3 and 2. i am going to try the 40038 on there now through ##775#. juggalo i am curious to know if there has been issues with the prl not taking in other devices and if so would it still display 30033 in the epst if it did not take it. also when i first got the device it was brand new and when i cut it on it did the auto activation on howevers acount it was registered to before so for the first four hours i had sprint service then i called them and they said they could not see whos account it was on but they still let me keep the service. anyway i then unlocked it and flashed juicys rom and edited the epst for alltel. just telling you this because that may had been why it is roaming because it is still on.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

also mr conflipper i loved your alltel roms when i had my sprint touch on alltel thanks. and yes i hit the thanks button when i used them too. just putting a face to the thanks. when i called alltel to initially activate my phone they said it could not be done because it was a sprint phone. then he went and asked to make sure after i told him i already had a sprint phone on alltel and he came back with a we can do it but you will not have data and everthing will not work. i told him that was fine just activate it please and he did.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

Tommy install this, its the carrier provisioning cab for alltel

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

did that already too that is why it is driving me crazy wonder what the chances of wordie giving me the epst settings are? i hope the new alltel rom gets dumped so i can flash it.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

i will try it again and thanks for all your help.

Re: Flash Touch Diamond from Sprint to Alltel
 

no problem
