It shouldn't make a difference MNC 16 is crickets correct MNC, you can use 00 if it works for you.

Hmmm.... I followed this guide to the letter, and rechecked my PST settings, registry, and I still can't get a GPS lock. I never had GPS working with my own custom ROMs that I built with PPCKitchen BuildOS, but it almost always worked with someone else's. Not sure what I'm missing here.

For the GPS to work you will need to install the shipped ROM don't let customization run, make the changes through QPST then install the custom ROM. IN QPST make sure to uncheck all the boxes in GPSone then recheck them. Also who was the original carrier and what ROM are you using so I can help you pin point the issue

Huh. For some reason it finally locked on. Just took half an hour to get the first fix. Seems to be working fine now. I did upgrade the radio to 3.42.50 a while back, so all I needed to do was the QPST settings. I guess it just took a lot longer to get the first fix.

If it continues to give troubles you may need to try some different IP's, cricket is constantly changing those.
Also if you did not flash the shipped ROM and NOT allow customization to run could be a problem. You could still have some of the original carrier setting hanging around in the pst's.

I flashed the stock ROM a few months ago, then upgraded the radio and put on my own ROM. I had that one on until last night, when I rebuilt the old ROM and updated some of the apps on it. Other than that, I did the QPST edits for the GPS. It works now and then, but seems to take a long time to lock on, and sometimes won't lock on at all.

Ok what is your signal like? Are you getting a EVDO connection or is it 1X? Have you tried any other radios? Try the 3.42.40 found in my signature...

I just made a thread about that, too. I've been getting 1x for the past two weeks for some reason.

That's going to be your reason for the problem. Call cricket and request your WAP be reset. Just tell them your phone is not provisioning.
**edit**
I forgot to mention that you could also try going into EPST, selecting the security tab and enter a bogus user name and password in both fields, then go to menu click ok, ok and let it reset then go back and enter the correct info into pst and see if that solves it.
Also if there is anything but your#@mycricket.com in the security tab you will need to start from the beginning and run the shipped ROM and NOT let customization run.

Huh. I put in the bogus info, too, and it still connected for some reason.
