This is a very simple change in QPST (& you don't need a cracked version of CDMA Workshop). There is no reason NOT to do it just to be sure....

I've put the phone in Diagnostics mode, USB cabled it to a laptop that now has the CMDA Workshop 2.7 open. What am I to do next? I'm not seeing any transfer of data or info from the phone and the CMDA workshop screen has multiple boxes with no data.

What would really be awesome is a step by step write up. If I survive this I'll post it. I think it could help a lot of people who are "laymen" without any phone programming experience.

Help here is always appreciated?=D>

If I don't change the code to 000000 will all the features still work on Metro PCS?
I thought the reason to change this code was to allow the phone's features to work on the METRO PCS network.

If this is not necessary, why bother?

THanks!

Go to device manager to find out what com port the phone is coming on. Then if its com 1-25, click what com port its on, hit connect, then if it says connect successful, read it,

Then go to security, then type in your spc, it will say SPC is unlocked, put in 000000, then write, and it will come up with a message saying changed code or something similar.

I've been told if you do not change the code that it will not go through houdini properly.I changed my SPC code to 00000 and programmed the web settings, and I have web and GPS working currently.

Thanks!

It says its on Com Port 5 in the device manager. Is the SPC the same as the RMSL code?

[Informed101]

I know see at the bottom of CDMA it says COM 1. How I change to COM 5 or do I change my COM 5 port on the laptop to COM 1?

you dont need to change the com on your laptop, on cdma workshop where it says com 1 click it and a drop down of the com ports will come up.

That's what I did first but when I mouse over the place where it says COM1 on the bottom of the 2.7 screen nothing happens. No drop down. Nothing. It just stays on COM1.
