Sprint HTC Arrive manual data programming?
 

Hi, since few years ago, in Mexico some people have purchased and programmed manually CDMA devices (mainly Sprint and verizon devices), to use it in Iusacell`s CDMA network (Mexico); from HTC Apaches, Moguls, Diamonds TPs, TP2s, Evos, Epics...

I only want to find some information to programming WP7 CDMA devices like the HTC Arrive. In WP7 CDMA devices is there something like EPST? Anyone has tried to find the SPC code with existing tools in WP7? Is possible to connect these devices to a PC and use tools like QPST?

..wait!, now that I think about it, the HTC Arrive seems to be the first Windows Phone 7 CDMA-based device ..then maybe this is something premature :scratch:.

Any information?




Thanks in advance !!

in the marketplace you can find HTC App called "Connection Setup". When you run that it tells you what country and carrier you are configured to... You can manually change that selection - and if you want to chose a different carrier you can select it from a long list - it appears to have all carriers together (GSM/CDMA)...

Now the funny thing - I am with Sprint (obviously) but when I run this tool - it shows me as part of Verizon Wireless - I chose Sprint and set it - but still seems to say Verizon... Strange -- but hey it works. I am not 100% sure what this program does yet but this might be what you are looking for!

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.

dial ##MFG#
you can look and fix evdo settings via built-in tools, or QPST.

Thanks for all replies

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

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

Re: Sprint HTC Arrive manual data programming?
 

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

Re: Sprint HTC Arrive manual data programming?
 

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.
