Where do i get the espt from a current verizon phone?? i've got an samsung alias 2

If the phone has xv6800 is should be a verizon model and it is ok. Does it say verizon on the front? If the phone is a true verizon model nothing needs to be done other than change the esn online or by *228. There is no need to call verizon you can add the phone by your online account or *228 option 3. Verify that the esn number on the back matches the number under setting device info.

FORGET WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE MODEL NUMBER!!!

i'm an idiot.. i coulda swore it had both model numbers on the phone itself.. it's only the BATTERY that has both model numbers.. (honestly i'm not that dumb.. sorry for the confusion)



It is a Sprint phone through and through.. i've been following these instructions here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=15920&page=2

i've gotten the msl from the phone

but when it comes to running qpst i have NO IDEA what i'm doing.. so i'm stuck..

but the phone is branded sprint so treat it as sprint! when u call never tell them it is a sprint device they will not activate if u do!! when u call just at first say u want to activate a a phone(act like its a verizon phone! if that doesnt work then tell them its a alltel device!!

i would assume u can get the epst manual service programming info from any pryer verizon activated phone, but i have only used other htc ppc devices!! i would assume u could get the data from any phone that u could 1. access the epst or 2. connect to qpst to see the service programming!!

See this is what i don't know how to do though..

I learn quickly... and if there are instructions i can follow.. BUT i don't just have the know how to do this..

i have qpst installed on my pc but i don't understand any of it.. and my verizon phone isn't a ppc or smartphone.. i don't even have a cable for it.

diagnostic mode by ##3424 or ##3424# on phone

also to get ur msl (and mslgrabber didnt work)do this
* Change the following registry entries in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ATDbgLog
Enable: 1
LogMode: 1
* Wait a reasonable amount of time and soft-reset (I have noticed that it seems to take longer for this value to take affect, so if you reboot and the registry values are not changed, then you need to do it again and wait longer)
* Check to see that the file \Temp\ATDbg0.txt has been created.
* Return the values back to what they were (most likely 0) waiting the same amount of time as above.
* Look in the ATDbg0.txt file and you should see a log of commands sent to the CDMA radio and there should be something like this somewhere in the file:

Code:

11:9:3 Tx:AT+HTC_RMSL=0\r
11:9:3 Rx:+HTC_RMSL: 354201\r\n0\r
11:9:3 Tx:AT+HTC_ROTKSL=0\r
11:9:3 Rx:+HTC_ROTKSL: 216112\r\n0\r

The numbers next to the Rx: +HTC_RMSL line should be your MSL

to connect to qpst

1. place phone in ##diag mode let the drivers install
2.open device manger(right click my computer,select manage) whatever com port that your phone is hooked to use it for qpst.
then start QPST service programming connect to said comport!!
then select read from phone, enter msl as unlock code!! once this is done save the oringal phone file to somewhere save as a backup!!! there u are connected!!
