Using the Sprint Touch with Other Carriers

Hello, all!

I am getting a Touch this weekend and I am planning to flash the PRL on the phone to use it for Cricket: http://www.mycricket.com

A few of us in the Cricket forums over at HowardForums.com have already gotten voice and text to work this way on Cricket's network, and there is even a way to get WAP to work, but so far, the settings won't stay put.

My questions are: How many Touch users here are using a Sprint Touch for another provider? And also, are non-Sprint Touch users experiencing the same problem that Sprint users are, as some of the problems I have read here might be more inherent to the network and not the phone itself.

Thanks for all of your contributions to the forums here: My Sprint 6700 on Cricket has been "re-born" dozens of times, each time even more awesome than the last.

EDIT: I should have titled this thread, "Using the Sprint Touch with Other Carriers". The current title sounds misleading. Mods: Is there any way one of you could change the title of this thread please?

In case anyone was interested, we have gotten the Touch working on Cricket:

Results are still too early to tell, but so far WAP and MMS have been verified working.

Yea to0 made a rom for the touch so everything is reported working...

Are there any more custom touch roms for cricket yet?

I saw on ebay a fully flashed touch with iphone theme for over 300 dollars...

I have a touch but since i did the e*n Solution on it. I had to change the radio version and put the alltel rom on it so To0's rom wont work on mine..

I talked to him about it and he said he might come out with a new rom this summer when he's on break...

As for the settings changing back I think your answer lies in the HTC_CM_Manager program hope that helps.

Does that apply to the alltel rom as well?

yes that program changes all the comm settings on boot if you replace it with a dummy file it won't change the settings anymore

It is in the windows folder what starts it I'm not sure but you just use resco explorer and overwrite it with a dummy file then when the phone reboots it will no longer change all the comm settings back.
