Yes, a "special" procedure indeed. I believe it get's dirty looks if I talk about it here...

I haven't worked on it lately, I'll see if settings from my old phone will work. I actually wish samsung would keep their design of the i760 and make a newer phone. Really liked my old phone.

But whatevs.

So, my current Sprint Touch Pro's keyboard went up.

If I were to buy a new one off ebay again...I will not be able to hack it on again like I used to?

So i finally have the issue everyone has been talking about with every soft reset turning into a hard reset. I understand in order to fix i need to flash back to a sprint shipped rom.

My question is will i have to re-do all the qpst radio setting changes i made for the phone to be able to work on verizon. Im under the asumption that flashing a shipped will update the radio in turn changing all my settings.

I have to make sure because in the sprint diamond on verizon thread some people said verizon fixed the loop hole people where using to activate the sprint diamonds through verizon and if updating my radio will prevent me from reactivating on verizon tht is deffintly something i dont want to do.

This thread is all about that loophole being closed.....
From what I know, If you install that shipped ROM you will have to re-enter all the settings again and you will likely lose data as you wont be able to authenticate again to get new HA/AAA keys.

So I "think" the phone will work once you get the settings re-entered, but you wont be able to get data. And likely will never be able to unless you get your phone added the the DMD database.

Or, just have the account holder add you as an admin on the account so its much easier to do anything with the account

For those that have had VZW add your MEID to their DND; how long did it actually take for them to add it and how did they contact you to let you know it was added?

I called about 9 days ago and was told it'll take 14 days to get it added. I thought I saw a few people post saying their's was added in 24-48 hours.

Once I got through to someone who knew how to do it, it took 24 hours.

I was trying for 5 weeks before I saw this post:

After that, it took three tries before I got a tech who could do it. She was awesome, totally helpful. She called me back 24 hours later and it was done.

yeah, thats the directions I followed, but I called during the day. I've yet to try the night team. Heard people had better luck with the night support.

Thank you to everyone that has responded. I'll give it another go tonight.

It shouldn't take 14 days. I can't think of anything honestly that you have to do that takes 14 days. Up to 72hrs sounds more realistic to me. I am a tech at a service center for Sprint and have been very interested in this topic, so I think I will contact advanced tech suport and see if I can get my old VZW phone added to our data base. I will report back to let everyone know what happened.
