Need Help Flashing 6800 To Cricket - Stuck On Roaming

[mherren]

Hello - I've been surfing the boards here and at HoFo for three days, and I just can't figure this out. I think my problem may be because of where I live (Las Vegas). But I could really use some help. I promise, I've searched everywhere for the answer!

I have a sprint Mogul (HTC 6800) that I want to use with Cricket. I am using WM 6.1 with the last HTC revision, no cooked ROM, radio 3.42.02. I tried using CDMA workshop, but I use Vista, and I can't get my computer to assign a COMM port to a USB port (sorry, I'm not that tech savvy). So I used these instructions... http://www.howardforums.com/showpost...6&postcount=10 and followed them to the letter. I also followed another post that I can't find right now that said to add your SID/NID number in, but I can't figure out what my SID number is (it gave me a NID). Is that important to my phone working?

So I've tried using prls: 38140, 1013, 1042, 1050, 38515, and currently 38944. The last gets me into digital roaming. When I dial *228, it welcomes me to the Verizon Wireless network (WTF???) and asks me to press 1 to activate my phone. I do, and it tells me I can't be activated at this time.

Cricket, obviously, is no help, even though I've given them my ESN. They told e that they can't guarantee that some services will work on flashed phones.

One last thing, my "cricket" cheap *** phone shows a prl file of 29142. Any thoughts?

Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to make sure I included as much info as possible.

Well First Off Have U Downloaded The Htc Usb Drivers..and When U Plug The Phone Up You Have To Put The Phone In Diagnostic Mode..man There Is A Whole Lot Of Steps To Learn And The Sid Is.5033 And The
Nid.is.65535.but Thats Not Inportant At The Moment.it Would Be Good If U Flash A Cricket Rom Such As Rayan Mogul's Rom..u Can Flash And Load Your Prl Your Htc Without Using Qpst R Cdma Workshop..lol But Please Look A Lil More Into It...

i dont know about the coverage but when you load your prl you can do it one of two ways sd card witch is on this site in multiple locations or with qpst or cdma .qpst is what i have used , you first need to totally disconect active sync . go to your control panel and locate you active sync and right click it from there you should be able to figure the rest out. myself i used the sd card methed when loading my prl
