MSL not unlocking Sprint Diamond after flash... no internet

[ismhawk]

yeah they are shipping a new one, but i don't wanna make the same mistakes i did with the new one so im trying to figure out, was it the dcd sprint carrier cab or mighty rom 2.1...

the phone worked fine with juicy 2.6, fine with the 1.03 radio rom, flashed mighty 2, same radio and then flashed mighty 2.1 and added DCD with the same radio...

had an issue, flashed stock rom back, issue still there

so what caused it... mighty 2.1, dcd, or a combo of both with the 1.03 radio

This exact same thing happened to me yesterday. I flashed Mighty's ROM and did a few other cab installs and my phone would not get data. I was able to make a call or two and then that failed. My user name had been changed as well as the number that is used to dial out...Sprint could NOT unlock it no matter what. I took it in and the rep there was very confused. Thankfully I had flashed back to Stock ROM and relocked the phone. I had spent an hour on the phone with sprint and nothing. I then took it in, told the rep there that I had phone service before the person on the phone started messing with it...he ended up giving me a new phone and I was done. Is it Mighty's ROM? I have used three of Juicy's with no problem...

I have this issue too. I think it's due to the pri update in MSR 2.1.1

got the same problem, Solved it last night after sprint tech gave up. somehow my MSL changed to 691212. found that out by using the reg hack above. Once you find your new MSL. use it to reset your device ##RTN#. That should do it. After reset you reset your phone the orginal MSL from sprint should works. PLEASE DO NOT UPDATE PRL IN MSR 2.1.1!!!!!!

It might just be dcd carriers cab. I restart MSR 2.1.1 without dcd carriers cab and there's no PRL to update.

LOL, wondering how many call sprint tech got last night because of this.

I used a program called QPST to check/change my MSL. I had a Sprint phone that I flashed to work on the Alltel Network. I had to change the MSL to all zeros and it worked fine. There's a Tutorial somewhere on PPC on how to do this. I'm too lazy or I would have found it for you.

It really wasn't hard. You hook up your phone to your PC, let active sync load. Launch QPST Configuration, and add a port. Then you open Service Programing and select the device all the way at the bottom (it doesn't recognize the diamond by default). Then you connect. Click get information from phone and it will fill in all the boxes. You will see your MSL on the first page, you can change it there if you'd like. Just change the number then click write to phone.

From what people said if you don't know what you're doing you could seriously bunk your phone up, so proceed with caution.

It's quite possibly dcd's carrier cab, and not the rom itself that is causing the issue.

Agreed. As a matter of fact, I know of someone with a Touch that installed a custom rom (non-carrier specific) and then installed the DCD Carrier cab for Sprint and he was getting no data connection.

Either way, I would recommend not calling the cooks names. Without them, most of us would be stuck on stock roms with all kinds of problems.

had the same problem ended up reflashing the stock and going into the store where the technician said the esn from the phone doesnt match the sticker and he was wondering if this phone was ever active ,ended up giving me a new one ,ummm interesting i might just go back to juicy 2.5 it was a nightmare for me they actually canceled my line in an attempt to re setup the phone and had to wait till morning for the credit department to approve reopening the account"the stupid technical support"
