Sprint HTC Arrive manual data programming?

This HTC Connection app totally borked data on my phone and also for many other users on XDA. Beware.

This is what is happening with my Arrive. Worked great for 3 weeks and then I just went to look at the Connection Setup app and noticed it was saying I was on Verizon. So I manually configured to Sprint and boom...lost my internet and cannot get it back.

Spent 3 hours with advanced tech support and still cannot get back online (other than WiFi). What did you do to get it back? Just a hard reset?

About 3 hard resets trying the manual OTA programming each time.

Thanks for all replies

To get the MSL code (not asking to Sprint), Is necesary to buy it?

Quote:

1. get the MSL/SPC of the phone. you can ask Sprint, or buy it from an unlock service provider ( i bought it from //nickflashcricket.net )

nickflashcricket.net seems to only sell Blackberry MSL codes, really u can buy a HTC Arrive MSL code in there?

The buit-in tools (##MFG#) are similar to EPST tool (all CDMA and Data settings) ?

Thanks again

i bought mine there.
just supply the MEID of your arrive.

for EPST-like tools, you can use ##DATA#
use ##MFG# if you want to go to diag mode.

Does anyone here know how to manually update a PRL for the HTC Arrive? I need to upload a Page Plus/Verizon one so that the phone looks at the correct tower.

I got my MSL unlock code from Sprint

This helped out a ton.
I just followed the instructions and I got the PRL uploaded for Page Plus. I can now make and receive calls and text messages. I tried to get the DATA working but haven't had any luck. I will have to probably wait until an HTC Trophy shows up at Verizon to try and mirror the settings. Trying to get them from the TP2 helped a lot but something is still missing. I can't find a setting where it allows you to dial a #777. Seems like that would be the ticket.

I think I'll be joining you buying an off contract Arrive and trying to copy the settings from the Verizon phone.

You must have had to use CDMA Workshop as well?

Yep, i used the CDMA Workshop for the Page Plus PRL upload. I couldn't find anywhere in the settings where to upload one from a storage card like Windows Mobile on my Touch Pro 2. I should spend some more time in the program seeing what it can do but I was just ecstatic to get the phone working for talk/text on the Verizon network and have left it at that.

Remember, there's probably a super slim chance you could get the phone activated with Verizon directly. I've gone into Verizon through the back door sort of
