Does the ESN needs to be clean on sprint's network for it to work on Verizon?

[DHarvey]

Generally yes. If you are having problems with a Bad ESN, check this thread:

Nope I buy bad esn phones from other carriers all the time and have had no problem getting them on vzw other than sweet talking tech support to add them to the vzw device database.

Sprint ESN numbers cannot be used at Verizon or vice versa. When I try to activate a Verizon phone at Sprint it tells me that ESN is not in inventory. Sprint and Verizon both have "closed" networks as does alltel. Cricket is the only cdma carrier that will allow any cdma esn on their network.

This is all you need to do really;

First check with the carrier you intend on using your phone on to see if they can and will accept it.

Call Sprint, ask them for your MSL, they will ask you for the ESN. You can play this sneaky if you want but don't need to, by telling them you needed to manually program your MSID and MDN but need the 6 digit code MSL.. YMMV, remember Sprint got sued and lost, they have to provide you with the MSL..


Go here http://www.corolada.com/prl/ and download the latest PRL for the carrier you are wanting to use. Copy this to the phone (device).

Type ##PRL# on the phone's dial pad, enter the MSL and choose to edit the prl, choose load, it will look on your device for available prls, load it up let it do it's thing, reset the phone.

Type ##PST#, edit, enter MSL, look for SID/NID.. Edit those to the appropriate settings for your new carrier. You can go here http://www.rainyday.ca/~dialtone/ to look up the PRL interpretations. Using search and find, look for the city you're in for the SID (tower #) in your area and enter it if you don't know it.

Call provider give them the info they need and follow their instructions on reprogramming your phone. Usually ##MSL# (Your MSL) then you can edit the MSID MDN.. *228 should work now, you may have to try *228xx (00-99) combination to get your carrier's activation team if you didn't get the SID right.

Your phone should work from there..

If you want to further customize or use the carrier's rom for the same device, if there is one available. You can just unlock the phone and load up that carrier's rom for your particular phone. To get features working for that carrier..

Another thing to take into mind is that you become your own tech support for any issues with your phone.

goodluck,

P.S. thought comes to mind with this, getting EVDO to work on another carrier is gonna be a

[dbm0361]

what do you consider bad esn's and im going to try switch my touch to alltel from sprint and suggestions? please let me know

[Formula84]

Hello I have just changed to ESN of my touch to the same as my mogul using the methods in the cracking 6800 packaged file. I have SuperCID with mtty 00000000 and then successfully changed the ESN in CDMA workshop. I have also using ##778# i copied the MSID MDN and the settings from my MIP on default profile and custom 1 profile. I am able to receive calls and browse the web in 1x not EVDO. When trying to run the IOTA it attempts to connect with failure. Error 67, but i can successfully browse the net only in 1x. Is there a way to fix this. The only problem i had was not being able to copy the AAA secret key from the default MIP profile because it was all crazy characters, did successfully copy this info from the custom profile 1 with my SPCS user name. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks
