SPC code on Verizon and info on SPC codes?
 

I'm looking to buy a verizon htc apache from ebay and since my local CDMA dealer refuses to hook phones from other companies, this means I need the SPC code for the verizon phone, so I can change the ESN to match that of the free phone my local dealer gave me on contract.

Just wondering if anyone knows their SPC code who is on Verizon? Is the SPC code the same for all Apaches, or is it carrier or phone specific?

The SPC code on my current SaskTel apache is: 111111 and the MSL is: 546140 .

Can someone with a Verizon XV6700 please run QPST v 2.7 b215 and try to see if they can log on to their phone using QPST and the instructions provided here:

You need to first install the QPST drivers, found here: http://ppcgeeks.com/files/ppc6700_937.zip

QPST v2.7 b215 can be found here:

Any help with this would be _greatly_ appreciated.

Thanks.

You don't need the SPC... you need the MSL, which for all Verizon phones is six zeros (000000)

Edit: And technically you can look up the SPC and MSL yourself using BitPim and those drivers your posted. Just look in nvm for nvm_security. The first number is your MSL, second is the OTKSL/SPC.

Keep in mind though that if you ever do a master reset (not a hard reset) your MSL and SPC will revert to the original ones. I have not figured out where that data is backed up on the phone, but apparently it is.

To log on to the phone using QPST you need the SPC (typing in the MSL doesn't work).

I can't get BitPim to work and when I use UniCDMA my SPC code shows up

Any ideas?

Can't get BitPim to work? What kind of problem is it having?

- Make sure you're running the latest version
- Make sure you go into settings and change the phone type to "Other CDMA" and click Browse to make sure that you're selecting the correct port (if you installed the drivers correctly there will be two ports. One should be available and the other shouldn't).
- Then just go to the Filesystem section and expand it.

FYI, I know that QPST asks for SPC, but the MSL always supercedes the SPC. (which can really only be used one time). I always use the MSL with QPST so I know it works.

If this is truly a Verizon phone and hasn't been messed with, the MSL will be 000000. I would imagine that the SPC is also 000000 since Verizon doesn't use the MSL/SPC concept to protect their phones.

So did you actually buy the phone already? In your first post you said you were looking to buy it from ebay, but your subsequent comments make it sound like you already have it. Maybe the prior owner screwed with it?

What drivers do I have to install for Bitpim? At the moment I have the QPST drivers installed. Are there seperate ones for BitPim? If so, where do I get them?

I think your first issue is that your SaskTel Apache's MSL is not 111111. If it was then that code would work in QPST.

You use the same drivers for Bitpim as you do for QPST. You shouldn't rely on auto detection--always pull up the list of ports. Do you see the two Qualcomm ports?

Oh, and make absolutely certain that QPST (and any other PST apps) are not running on your PC when you open up Bitpim.

Although in any case, you should be safe buying the Verizon phone because all Verizon phones have a MSL of 000000 (you can google it if you don't believe me).

And I'm not sure about Canada's laws in this regard, but cloning an ESN is 100% illegal in the US, so be careful.

Bitpim still doesn't work, even when I choose the Qualcomm ports. For some reason it just can't connect.

also i dont know if u have evdo high speed internet where u are located but if u do with the cloned phone u will not be able to get evdo u will only be able to connect using 1x just a little fyi...

I don't know what else to tell you then, other than what I said before that if your intention is to get a Verizon XV6700, then its MSL and SPC are both 000000.

Thanks for your help. Found a good version of UniCdma that actually gives you the MSL/SPC, so any worries I had about not being able to find the code(s) are gone.

EDIT: For some reason UniCDMA only allows you to see and/or change the security code only _after_ having run QPST, for which you need the security code. :(

Not having EVDO isn't an issue for me. I never use the wireless CDMA internet anyways. 90% of the areas I'm in have good Wi-Fi access which negates the need for EVDO.

Just a thought. If i was to copy all of the files (.prl files etc.), including the extended rom from the current SaskTel apache I have, over to the new one, shouldn't the EVDO work?

Thanks.

You mean the nvm file system? Like use QPST to copy all of that stuff over? Might work--I dunno. What I do know is that on Sprint, just changing the ESN + checksum and the MSL SPC will not allow the net connection to work. Don't ask me how I know though :)

But whatever you do, on both phones make sure you back up anything you mess with via QPST. Keep good, untouched backups of everything so you can restore them in case anything goes wrong.

And please report back here (or on mobile-files) if you have any success. The problems getting the internet to work might be just a Sprint issue here.

Just a thought. Could your issue be related to not having the correct ExtRom? On my SaskTel phone, when I flashed a new rom and didn't install any of the SaskTel extrom files the EVDO wouldn't work. After running each SaskTel extrom .cab file individually the EVDO worked.

No. These were both Sprint 6700s, as a matter of fact, on the Sprint network, so the extrom wasn't the problem.

Do you have your extrom visible on the Sasktel 6700? If you wouldn't mind zipping up the contents and posting it here to the FTP site that would be great. We're trying to build a library of each carrier's extrom, and I don't think I've seen anyone else with a Sasktel-branded 6700. There's pinned thread at the top of the forum with info on how to access the FTP.

Thanks.

Done.

Thanks for doing that. Let us know how it goes with the Verizon model.

I have a sasktel 6700.... it's getting sent back to utstarcom to get the radio flashed back to sasktels radio firmware because sasktel won't release any of the firmware to the public :(

Dr can you tell me how to update the prl on my 6700? I think thats all I really need?

How'd your radio get screwed up?

Not sure why you'd have to send it back to UTStarcom. Any radio will do. I believe I upgraded my radio using the sprint version. In addition, while you're upgrading your radio, you might as well upgrade your ROM too. Any ROM will work with SaskTel. I recently upgraded mine to the AKU3.3 and it the difference between AKU2.2 is like night and day.

If you bought your phone from SaskTel and you use your phone with SaskTel there should be no reason you'd need to change your PRL file.

My phone is flashed with the bell radio firmware right now. I can only make voice calls, and I do use it for evdo data calls. So I need to get it flashed back. I have my other phone updated to 3.3 with a custom rom for our company and it kicks! The bell radio firmware is probably ok,but I thin k I just need to get a sasktel prl on there and i'd be ok.

SaskTel PRL files
 

Have you sent your phone back yet? If not, do you need the .prl files?

Have you tried installing the SaskTel extrom? After installing the sprint radio, it fixed any connectivity problems I was having with EVDO.

I haven't sent the phone back yet. Not sure how to install the prl though.

Thanks! I'll give this a try today and see how it works!

Hey drdex - where is this magical "546140" number comming from? Or is that like a default SPC/MSL for his carrier...?... kinda like the MSL's for verizon being all zeros?

According to my carrier, 000000 is their default code. However, when I plugged 000000 into QPST it couldn't log on. So, instead I looked on the box and there was a sticker with two six digit numbers. One was 111111 (which didn't work) and the other one was 546140 (which worked).

I am assuming the MSL would be the same for all PPC6700's from SaskTel. Maybe Kspare can try it on his/her phone and let us know.

Update
 

Sorry to drag an old thread up from the depths, but I figured I'd post an update.

The verizon XV6700 has been working well under SaskTel, until recently when I started "roaming". Not sure why this is, but it worked fine for the first 3 weeks of roaming. The last week, the phone had service, but it wouldn't make or receive calls/texts. I was forced to use the original backup (cloned) phone. Upon returning to my home town, the XV6700 started making calls again. Not sure why its being so flaky.

can anyone tell me how to master reset this phone

unblock file system
 

Hello, I'm trying to change the MSL code because my carrier can´t activate my phone.

The BitPim program send this message when I try to save the modification:

"Access to the file/directory has been blocked on this phone by the phone provider"

Is there a way to unblock the file system?

I have a Verizon 6700, and I'm trying to activate it in Mexico with Iusacell.

Regards.

How can I do a master reset? Is that the one where you hold the two softkeys and hit reset?
