An Easy Guide to Upgrading

[Aok-knight]

Hi Guys,
This is my first post here. I have been reading up on this forum a lot and doing some exp of my own. I need some help and I know there has been a lot of things written about flashing a phone. I followed the steps to the best of my ability.
I was trying to flash a Sprint ppc6800 to cricket.
I used the olipro 2.40
than I used the stock rom from the htc site.
Used a custom rom made by Vetvito.
I also checked and inputed my Min and other stuff I need to change as it stated http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...hlight=cricket in this thread.
I also loaded the 1050_prl file for cricket.
I thought I was ready to activate the phone. I called cricket. Changed my EsN on file. Dialed the *228 and it came back with a message that said my esn had been tried to be activated for more than 15 times and phone will lock for 1 minutes and reset. It resets after that. This is a pop up on the phone. Not a message from cricket. So I called cricket back and there was no problem on their end.
Could you tell me what I am doing wrong? I am without a phone as my phone got shut off when I gave them the esn for the new phone.
Only thing I didn't from the list is

10. Now we will run the IOTA (Internet/Data Over the Air) setup
> a. go to Start/Settings/Phone
> b. verify that your vx mail number is correct (if not then you have missed a step above)
> c. select the services tab
> d. scroll down to Internet and select, then click <Get Settings>
> e. click the <Start> button
>>> this should initiate the IOTA for your phone

Please help!!!!
