Can't Activate my 6700 !

_burn_ · #1 (**permalink**) 12-30-2007, 06:46 PM

so this is my situation. I have a 6700 i bought from ebay a few months ago and although two sprint stores and cs couldnt activate it and said i was s.o.l. I activated it with an msl ( i think... its the ##xxxxxx# that goes to view edit cancel) the guy sent on the box with the phone.
Well i recently purchased another 6700 on ebay for my brother with a clean ESN. Now we can't get this one activated. The numbers that sprint tell me to type in just do not work. Ive gotten to a screen that has EPST at the top left where the start bar is and it says view edit cancel by typing in ##3282# which i found on another site. From there, i get a prompt to put in an unlock code and thats as far as i can get. I checked the esn on the RLS screen (##786#) and its the same. It has the upgraded o.s (wm6) and im wondering if maybe that would require a different code than a normal 6700 on WM5.? any help would be appreciated

I agree you should try flashing your rom and then try to activate it again... heres the link to the latest WM6 kitchen...

im unfamiliar with flashing. i guess i need to find out what that is. im running WM5 on my pc6700 (i mentioned for reference) and my brother's phone is running WM6 (the phone im having troubles with).

do you think that with WM6 i would have to put in something different than if i was activating a regular apache/6700 with the stock WM5?
