Anyone got any idea how to fix an Alltel phone? I've tried reloading Olipro 2.40, then falling back to 3.27 which was an older radio that supported GPS. Because of Sprint's "special sauce", I don't seem to be able to downgrade. Also tried downgrading to dcd's custom Titan ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362566

That ROM installs OK, but the dialer still shows "Sprint PCS" and it won't activate on Alltel using *228.

Im not positive on this, there was a post about what you need to write down in some settings on your phone before you ever flash the thing.

But I was wondering, Cant you just find the relocker for titan (on this board) and then flash back to stock roms, then probably call alltel on your landline to get the ESN re registered, as if you just got a new phone??

PS where you are at now, I cant say it wouldnt be worth a try. DID you cook your own, instead of loadin a custom rom, I dunno, maybe, it might do more

Hi all - did Olipro 2.40, Sprint ROM 3.35 without letting it customize, and the new no2chem 6.1 kitchen. Looks great, phone works, but no internet. Called for a new a-key, got one, didn't fix it. When I would go back, the a-key would be blank. Finally they gave me a new a-key which I also wrote down; still no luck.

The error I am getting is "Error 11: PPP connection error." Then the usual box about cannot connect, username and password wrong. Verizon tech told me to put (mymobilenumber)@vzw3g.com as username, vzw for password, no domain. This didn't fix it. I seem to recall never needing a username or password on my 6700. It doesn't save the password, either.

One last thought: I did write down my MSID, but it was the same after flashing. Couldn't find the MDN or whatever to write down - any chance this or *228 or *22899 could have any effect, all of which I've tried?

All this work you all have done is magnificent and I thank you from the bottom of my heart - I just wish I could get it to function on my 6800! Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

Is the relocker carrier specific? Mine was an Alltel phone, which now believes it's a Sprint phone. I tried putting the original Alltel WM6 build on it, but the build installer bombs out.
Thanks for your suggestions!
