Where did you get your PRL from?

Yeah that one will work. Get that ESN added then do a *228.

ok so i re-did everything so i can give you the steps i took. downloaded the v2.02 apache rom in your sig. put radio_.nbf and ms_.nbf from the bell rom available for download on this forum into the v2.02 folder. ran the ruu and let it do its thing. reset the phone and it boots properly. dial *228 and get that alltel cannot complete my call as dialed. According to the alltel tech the esn is in their database. OH! and the 1800alltel1 number still gives me the roaming message. EDIT: yes the ESN is definately there because my old phone no longer works lol. would it be ok to activate it? would the 6700 esn stay in there database so i can try an activate it at a later date?EDIT2: I redid it with the plain v2.02 rom. i put the alltel prl back on. If the phone is in network only mode, verizon answers and wants me to register my phone. when roaming only is selected (all this is under roaming settings) alltel answers. i thought this was odd and might give a clue

The ESN will stay in their database yeah. What method of PRL updating are you using?

i dial ##775, type in 6 zeros, edit, point it to that file, hit ok, then the phone reboots. I tried another ROM and the same thing happens. It goes to verizon when *228 is dialed. so this leads me to believe the prl isnt catching for some reason? i don't even know if thats possible. Ill leave that to you, the expert.

Yeah that's the way. And yes, it sounds like the PRL is not functioning right. Try this one, http://corolada.com/prl/alltel/30029.prl. See, newer is not always better. When I flash Cricket phones I have to try a few PRLs to get the right one. Also, I don't know what the "Special device" ones are, but maybe try one of those should the EvDo ones not work...

ok, I know this is an old thread but I really need someone to point me into the right direction, since I was reading, trying and it always fails for the last week or so. here are the facts:

got a PPC-6700 Sprint phone that was flashed to WM5 (Cricket) in working condition.
as most of you know, you have to upgrade. found a wm6 rom and followed all the instructions.
at 69% upgrade, the power went out in the neighborhood!
got the phone to reflash and was able to use it but with some errors: call history screen misses the left bar, messages won't show senders number...
since then I'm researching. got the ppckitchen and attempted a flash there. no luck. get the error that the file is not made for my device? strange! chose the Apache files, tried 5 or so and all the same thing...
after more searching, found your rom and made the attempt to flash. getting error 150 rom upgrade utility error.
it does go into bootloader (1.02), connects (serial to USB screen), reads the device but doesn't state any upgrade or current version at the screen. after hitting next, the error message pops up.
I did the first 'upgrade' via an xp machine, that also crashed later and now using Windows7. changing the settings in the WMobile Device Utility 6.1 (un/check USB connection) didn't make a difference as per connection or error message for the flash.

is there a way to fix this issue or just format the phone and start from scratch? I think I have found all guides to just do it from the beginning. so formatting it would be a problem it seams.

thanks in advance
