I would recomend That you do the following either try to flash a different RADIO "located in my signature" and if that doesn't solve it you will need to reflash starting with step #3 above and follow each step in order and in detail.
If you have the correct PRL, you have done a successful OTASP, and you have WAP provisioned on the account, it only leads to one thing somewhere you either skipped a step or there are some carrier crap hanging. You can also do the following connect to QPST and read from phone and save it to a file and email it to me "I'll PM you my email" and I can look into it.

Help me help you!
Which ROM (link or version)?
Did you reflash after you allowed customization run from the sprint ROM?
Did you make all the correct setting in QPST and PST?
Did you *228 and was it successful?
What reason does it give why it can not connect?
Is WAP/MMS provisioned on your account?
Did you follow the steps in order in the tutorial?
Did you click save password?

well i feel like a fool now... I just entered password "cricket" and didnt click save... Always the little things.... Thank you for your help! its been a good 24 hours of flashing different roms and such haha. I used the 6.5.3 cricket rom. then I changed the settings in QPST. then of course i clicked save password and now all is working perfectly.

You might as well tell them you have a Motorola Razor V3C that will ensure there will be no problems obtaining EVDO.

Also ask Cricket for your MSID/MIN number (usually not your Phone Number) we will be needing the MSID/MIN if you dont know it, or if the phone was never on Cricket before.

This is also assuming that you already have a CRICKET PRL file loaded in PST. If you have my ROM flashed than a couple PRL files that you can use are on device memory we will get to that later below.

Important note on PRL files. You must know what kind of Cricket Plan you have. If you have Roaming on your plan you need to use the 5 digit PRL files. If you DO NOT have Roaming on your plan you must use the PRL files that are considered 4 digits or contain a 0 at the beginning. Otherwise *228 will not work and you will not be able to Authenticate. Examples below.

PRL 01013 = Non Roaming
PRL 38515 = Roaming

1. Now first thing you want to do is have a good Cricket CAB or ROM installed. This way when the PST settings are done they can be looked over again, and tested.

2. Now if you are starting from a fresh flash OK, if you are starting from a hard reset OK, we can continue. If you have a ROM installed that is having problems I recommend a hard reset and skip Auto Customizations using stylus when it says you have 3 seconds. If you are confident the ROM you have installed is ready to go then fine. We can continue.

3. Now open your Phone Application and go to options and make sure smart dial is off.
Then dial ##778 call button (PST/EPST), now click edit and enter six zeros.
In the Main Page change the NAM name to Cricket, and enter the MSID/MIN number (that you obtained from your old Cricket phone or from Cricket themselves) make sure its a 10 digit number thats in your area code BUT IT IS USUALLY NOT your PHONE NUMBER.
If it was already fine we can continue, if you dont know it you may of skipped obtaining this from calling Cricket as stated above.
Now click view info and goto PRL, now check to make sure you have a CRICKET PRL (1013,1014, 1040, 1050 etc.. there are others) If you dont have one loaded in PST and you are using my ROM then you can click in Update PRL File (click in the blank area under setting) and then click Menu, edit, browse and it should go to main root (my documents). Pick PRL 1050 (You may have to try another PRL for *228 to work in step below). Then click ok, then Menu, then ok, it will ask you if you want to update the items click ok. Let it do its thing and restart. If you already have a CRICKET PRL then skip the update PRL step but still make sure to click menu, then ok and let it restart.

4. Now after the phone restarts open phone application again and dial *228 call button (this will make sure base settings are good so i will not have to explain as much, it will also download the proper local EVDO prl to where you are), it will dial cricket and do its programming thing. Do not interrupt this. Let it do its thing even if it restarts. It should say Update complete or Programming complete (if not then try a different Cricket PRL) Now when you are back in action we can continue.

5. Now open the phone application and dial ##778 call button (PST/EPST), now click edit and enter six zeros.
Now click view info and goto AKEY and make sure its blank, nothing there.
Now click view info and goto NAM settings, NAM name should be Cricket, Mobile Directory number should be YourTenDigitPhoneNumber, MIN1 should be that other phone number the MSID/MIN that is usually not your phone number, but it should be 7 digits, ex: sevendigitnumber, MIN2 should be just your area code.
MSID/MIN should be 10digitMSIDnumber <--again usually not yourphonenumber, MCC should be 310, MNC should be "00", NMSI should be your MSID/MIN (XX10digitnumber<--usually not your phone number) THE XX'S should be zeros, ex: 007185548692, Now if all these settings in this paragraph didnt need touched assuming you didnt skip any of my steps (which they shouldnt be touched i am just making sure) we can move on.

6. Click view info and goto CDMA settings, we are going to make sure they are set right and change a couple things for Clearer voice transmissions, people will compliment how good your phone sounds even in some cases. EVRC should be set at Disable, Home page should be Voice 13k, the Two below it the Same Voice 13k. These may need to be changed to EVRC if you phone will not dial out.

7. Click view info click modem settings, change slot cycle index to 1. The other 4 options should be Auto, Auto, Enable, No in Order from top to bottom.

8. If you do not do this step correctly your WAP/MMS will not operate.
Click View Info and pick Security, now we are changing this regardless you must do this, we are going to Unauthenticate you and Re-authenticate, it is a Needed step everything in this How To needs to be done and Not skipped! Change the HDR Auth User ID to something bogus like Boat@amail.com, the password below it make it something random but remember it, now do the same for PPP user ID and password but make them the same as the HDR ones.Go to menu click ok update setting, ok let it reboot. Then go back into EPST view info and pick security and change both usernames to your#@mycricket.com and both passwords to cricket.

9. Click view info and pick MIP Settings, Make sure Active Profile is on 0, MIP mode should be Simple IP only, MIP reg retries should be 1, MIP reg retry timeout should be 2000 ms, MIP pre-reg timeout should be 30, Mobile Node HA auth should be Disable, send a reg request should be Enable, dormant handoff to disable.

10. Click view info and pick MIP Default Profile, Enable profile should be ENABLE, NAI should be yourtendigitphonenumber@mycricket.com, MN HA SPI set should be enable, MN HA SPI value should be 12c, MN AAA should be enable, MN AAA SPI value should be 2, reverse tunneling should be enable, home address should be 0.0.0.0, Primary HA address should be 68.28.15.12, secondary should be 68.28.31.12, HA shared secret and AAA secret should be cricket <--lowercase, DMU public should be 0, MN Authenticator should be 0.

11. Click view info and pick MIP customer profile 1 and make sure Enable profile is DISABLED. Now do the same with the other 4 profiles (profiles 2-5), make sure that the only profile enabled is MIP Default Profile.

12. Ok now click menu, ok and let it reset, but make sure not to do anything we are going to be going right back INTO EPST, so when it boots back up open the Phone application and dial ##778 call button (PST/EPST), we are going to re-authenticate you its easy, now click edit and enter six zeros, click view info and goto Security, now change the HDR AN Auth to yourtendigitphonenumber@mycricket.com, password should be cricket<--lower case, same for PPP user id and Password make them same as HDR.

13. Click view info and goto MIP default profile, make sure the HA, and AAA shared secrets are both cricket<---lowercase, then click menu OK and let it reset.

Thats it! PST settings are perfect for CRICKET, you have a Local EVDO prl file installed, and you are Authenticated for Data and EVDO, now if you used my ROM just go to internet explorer and goto a real page, and follow instructions but remember to click save password!

Theres always a way with the correct info. I'm not sure of PP's connection setting but the theory is the same. As for ROM's I would try a Verizon custom ROM or the verizon carrier cab for the WAP/MMS setting I beleive PP and VZW are basically the same. PP is a VZW mvno!

Vista uses windows device center and make sure that you have all the drivers installed.
