Have you checked to see if your MSL code was reset? Also i tried what you said about my data problem. The Ev logo shows up on my phone now, but still no data unless its 1x. Also have you done a speed test to verify you are actually getting Ev speeds?

From http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20090:

The key is to make sure there is nothing in the HA Shared Secret & AAA Shared Secret. After that force your phone into 1X mode by going to Modem Settings in EPST and change the following settings (make note of what the original values are because you will be re-entering them later):

Preferred Mode: CDMA Only
HDR Hybrid Preferred: Disable
Rev. A: Disable

Once you've done all this, the phone will reboot in 1X mode. Go on the web and surf for a few minutes. Your HA & AAA Shared Secret Keys will be written. Revert your modem settings back to the original configuration and you should be in business with full EVDO.

Now, for you to help me. I have a blank banner where it should say Verizon Wireless and *228 option 1 cannot program my phone even though its activated and can make and receive calls and has full EVDO. Can you or anyone else help explain/fix this?

So, I just want to make sure, can you still activate Sprint or Alltel Touch Pro if you are on that data block of the past, or do we have to sign up for data?

Also, could this work with the Sprint or Alltel Treo Pro(built by HTC I believe?)

no you have to sign up for the data plan. reason being is that verizon's pda policy states that any pda device released after november 2008 is required to have a data plan. if the touch pro was released earlier in the year then u would not have to add the data package.

OK here is a question. I just ordered a TP2 for myself and was planning on giving my wife my current phone, a Sprint TP. The phone does not show up on the vzwireless site, so I am assuming that the phone is not registered. Will I be able to switch the Sprint phone to the other number? Or is this going to cause a lot of problems?

i need some help please!!!!!!!!!! i have successfully put my sprint touch pro on verizon's network. everything works fine but the data. it works intermittently. i go to open internet explorer and it will tell me i have the wrong credentials then i refresh the page and it connects and goes to the page but will not stay connected. then when i close IE and open it back up it does the same thing. i followed the instructions to the T and i even copied my friends settings from his actual vzw touch pro. not all of the settings just the ones i thought were right to change.

even if its a sprint or alltell TP? Because I am reading that people are using Sprint and Alltel TP without a data plan. Anyone else want to confirm this? Thank you.

i had my esn added to the vzw database and told them it was a sprint htc touch pro ppc 6850 and they made me take the data plan. some people are gettin them added as different devices and not have to take the data plan. like for example i have a motorola q9n this q was never released into the open and it had verizon add it to the database as a motorola q9c so that i didnt have to take the data plan because the device was released before november of 2008.

EDIT: ok now my data does not work at all. i did a ##786# reset to convert all of my EPST settings back to factory default. I followed the instructions in this guide i attached below to get the phone activated back to verizon and now no data, the voice and text works but no data please help.

I have a spare Sprint TP that has been legally activated on Verizon (it was added to the VZ database by a VZ tech) that I will sell if anybody is interested??

It has the latest NFSFAN ROM right now (which is awesome) but I can easily flash it to whatever ROM somebody might want on it. The phone works perfectly on VZ & ALL features work (MMS/SMS/DATA etc etc etc)

The screen on this phone has had a Brando screen saver on it since day one & has a clear Seidio indo-case also.

PM me for more details.
