Alltel PPC6800 on Verizon

Buddy switching to ATT giving me his Alltel branded PPC6800 if I flash the dcd rom, 3.35 radio rom and vzw carrier cab should it work on verizon? Are there any other hurdles I might encounter?
Thanks,

i doubt you will get verizon to activate it since it isnt one of there esn's, thats one thing i like about alltel they will try and activate any esn you give them they dont care where it came from

Thought I would update for everyone: I got an Alltel PPC 6800 on VZW. Here's how:
1) Logged into VZW My Business Account
2) Account Maintenance
3) Step 1: Enter cellphone number, click search
4) Action: Activate Equipment
5) Enter HEX ESN from Alltel phone
6) Ran through http://ppc.stoleyour.net/xv6800/ instructions to update radio, rom and carrier cab (thanks to Lord Cruik Shank nice howto)
7) Ran through http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20090 Steps 5 - 7 to load the DMU Key with QPST (thanks to drellisdee)
8) ##778 Edit Security HDR Password to HEX ESN
Everything seems to be working I haven't tested the speed but EV stays on the screen. I also haven't test GPS yet. Will report back later.

Wow that is crazy......I can not wait to hear more...I had no idea that was possible....I did not realize alltel used GSM I thought they were CDMA. Does that phone have a sim card?

Ahhh.
Major USA CDMA Providers: Sprint, VZW, Alltel, Cricket that i can think of.
Major USA GSM Providers: T-Mobile, ATT ahhhh not sure
Not to mention VZW just purchased Alltel last month. But really you could can use any CDMA Titan (6800) on any CDMA carrier, if you can get the ESN on the network, and the right programming.
CDMA is more popular in the USA because the coverage area is better than GSM. Although I wish it was the opposite way around. GSM providers are alot more open on the device side.

Your next step should be load a PRL for your area, I'm not sure how Hutch does their PRL's there will be other things you will need such as your MCC, MIN/MSID, SID, MNC, NID, EVRC SETTING, IF THEY USE AN A KEY.
I know nothing about Hutch but most of these setting you may be able to find on your old phone.

[A] change operater on dx ( India )

ok
so i managed to get my hands on a tata network prl
i used qpts and cdma workshop to upload the prl and configure the dx to tata as the home network
wasn't that hard and the
'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708937
How to Flash MOTOROLA DROID to Cricket: 2.2 Froyo FULL apps,web,mms'
did point me in the right direction
so with a little help from different webpages different guides i managed the configuration
after that i went to the tata service center
they after a little convincing agreed to do an ESN swap from
they activate a virtual sim and then swap the ESN to the DX
the dx gets activated within a day
then you manually enter the mdn ( the mobile number without any prefix)
the min ( provided to you by the service provider in this case tata)
and an A-Key ( provided to you by the service provider again tata)
once entered and the ESN swap has been doen the prl gets updated automatically over the air and you do not face any problems in the future
the settings get transfered immediately
i am yet to try all the features but plan on starting soon
hope all the people who have DX and need to change carriers manage their way
the hard part is in obtaining the prl after that its all simple
for people with a DX in india you can get the tata prl from

[I ordered an droid x from usa
i got it today and to my dissapointment it runs only on cdma that to with out the uim/sim
so now i need a way to configure my dx to connect to a reliance or tata network and register with them
i own a nexus one and love hacking modding it and will flash the dx using the noob guide of dx but after that how do i configure it to register with the cdma networks over here ... Thank you in advance for your help]

I don't know if I got the question correct, but I think you are asking how you can make the Droid X use a SIM card instead of CDMA? If so I believe this is impossible. Its more than just software it also involves alot of hardware that would have to be made especially for a SIM card.

not really I know that the DX ordered is locked to the verizon network.... Now the DX can't be changed from a no sim based cdma to a sim based GPRS/3.5g network carrier obviously ... so i need some one to help me configure the dx to reliance or tata network in india ... they both are cdma how ever i need a guide to the settings ... the prl min esn mdn these terms i have no clue what they are and what values should be entered when i m changing the carrier from verizon to reliance or tata
there are guides which give all details for the cricket network but that doesn t really solve my problem

Have sprint S4 how to unlock it to use for domestic GSM ..I have MSL code from sprin

Hi,
I have sprint s4 SPH-L720 and I called sprint and they gave me 6 digit MSL code....
I want to unlock this phone from sprint so I can use it on gsm service like cricket wireless
And I found online that I can dial ##3282# to get to data programming and than click on edit to enter this code...which I can do ..
but don't know how to reprogram it ie. enter new correct data in order to use it on domestic gsm sim based provider.
Currently all data for example mmsc or proxy points to sprint which I know should be changed but dont know what to be changed...
Please advice...

Quick guide to get Sprint 816(CHL) working with non Sprint SIMS. Not for GSM SIMS!

A heads up while i cook up a guide. THIS ONLY FOR CDMA TYPE SIMS NOT GSM SIMS SORRY.
So i got an EBAY offer for HTC 816 Sprint New in box at 65 dollars, i foolishly bought 2 thinking they accept GSM SIMS but it is only CDMA type sims, anyhow, i got one working on a non Sprint Carrier (not US) and after all th ehasslem wanted to share to see if it helps someone as well).
- Basically you need to be S-OFF (Sunshine.apk)
- Install HTC Drivers and HTCDiagnositcs Drivers (google them and how to install on device manager).
- Place the phone on Diagnostic mode ##3424#
- Select DM Mode ON
- It will ask for an MSL Code (you can get this from sprint or if they hassle and make it hard you like they did me, just get MSL reader from google play *must have root for that*)
- Select Serial Port ON and again place MSL Code.
After that, you must install the FDS program to change the the signal from NV to RUIM (this makes it so it can accept non Sprint SIM) *i suggest you google FDS and how to change configuration. It is free on google they trail version does the job.
- Check what COMM port the cellphone is comming under in device manager once all drivers including Diag mode drivers have been installed. It is usually Comm11 or Comm12.
- Once that is done, in FDS Main screen check ADD COMM PORT and add the comm you see your phone under device manager.
-After that hit connect/read and all you device info should appear.
-Once all is read go to PROGRAMMING TAB and there hit CONFIG and then READ. All you device info should reappear if all is well installed.
- On the very top tab you should see "NV", on that tab change it to "RUIM" or "RUIM PREFERRED".
- Hit WRITE at the bottom.
Once that is done, go back to your phone and DM MODE OFF and SERIAL MODE OFF or you screen will not turn off automaticly.
*PROFIT*
After all this, i am able to use my local CDMA carrier and thier LTE SIM just fine. THis phone does not have the 1900mhz LTE frequency they use but thier 3G is very good and stable.
If you are just like me that bought two of these sons of Bit*** thinking they are GSM, at leat you can use them n other CDMA netwoks with thier cdma sims Currently using mine on TRICOM CDMA network of Dominican Republic
Hope this helps someone in the mean time.

I can't seem to find that FDS Program you mention, can you link me please

So I've obtained dfs an did this, will do again an double check, but not sure yet if it will work. Going to try to swap to version an or straight talk, as they the only working carriers in my area. Will report any progress. But much acquire Sims first. If anyone has achieved this, could you confirm your success?

Op, Please help with the link to download the FDS program.
waiting in anticipation
