Unlock Shift Carrier Provisioning - Shift General

Does anyone know how to unlock and change the carrier provisioning for the HTC Shift? I have a Shift without Sprint service and would like to use it on another carrier. Is there a PST for the Shift?

I have just noticed that there is an EPST under Settings/Activate. Does anyone know the Sprint Unlock code?

You can use this program, but runs in Windows Mobile, I ran it on my HTC Mogul, you have to put the ESN (hex) of your shift and press the button, then you get the SPC Code.
http://www.rafaelc.net/files/GetSPC.zip
But the EPST of the Shift only enables you to change the MDN and MSIL, not the PRL or another data

Here is all the info I have on sprint:
554181 activation password(this worked for getting into Activation and EPST)
909387 one time password(didnt work for me)
enter programming mode ##3282#(EPST Advanced)
Hard Reset for Radio
##786#
Hopefully this will help you get somewhere with verizon or whoever.

Thanks, the advanced EPST works (I have anoter SPC Code but I used the GetSPC program), I changed all the configuration that I need (as I did with my Mogul)
Now I'm connected with Iusacell, my carrier in Mexico
Regards

excellent, curious how you were able to change the roaming list to go to your towers instead of looking for the sprint towers?

[Q] ## Codes Programming

I am looking for the ## codes for the fascinate. I am sure that someone is able to find them. I have searched the web for hours and not found any that will work with the fascinate. I am only looking, because I am sure that just like my incredible I can change the IP settings and use the wifi tethering for free on the fascinate too.
I appreciate any and all help to get these codes.
Have you tried the codes that work on the international I9000, Samsung's first Galaxy S model?
Thanks for the link. I tried about half of those and none of them work. I think their must be a set of codes specific to the CDMA version.
I was able to get a few codes out of a verizon represenative, but not everything.
This code enables the ability to use the second code I got.
*#22745927
you then enter 000000 for the spc
and change to Hiddenmenu Enable and press ok.
the type **772
you then enter 000000 for the spc
This will enable you to manually program the NAM.
Now I just need the code to modify the network settings for the data portion of the phone.

Droid2 Simple Talk and Text flash to cricket

Hey guys,
Trying to do a little contributing, thought I would let everyone know something I found with the Droid2 when trying to flash to cricket, it will help you skip allot of steps in some other tutorials..
With the droid 2 in factory default settings, meaning comepletly reset and not activated on any network yet, get past initial droid set up screen by touching the four corners of the screen, starting upper left and go clockwise..
after you are past that skip over the setup and get to your home screen, open your dialer and dial *22804 and send, this will write a cricket prl and your nam to phone..
talk and regular text will work perfectly.. on my phone it downloaded PRL 32100 on the Droid 2 which is set up in crickets system as the (Sanyo M6000), on my actual cricket android device (Sanyo M6000) it has PRL 42100.. they are both on the 60Z android plan.
why there is a difference, I do not know.. In another thread I read that with the new plan etc.. all you should need is a evdo prl to get internet working on the phone since that plan needs no proxy, so autostart.sh and u2nl is useless, but internet will not work just by doing this simple programming method.
I would love to try and pull off the 42100 prl from the cricket android and write it to the droid2 to see if it solves the inet problem, but I have no software that can do it.. my trial for cdma workshop expired a long time ago, and I dont have the 100$ to pay for a single phone flash..
If anyone knows any other program that will copy and write PRL's on droids, if you do I would be happy to post the new 42100 prl for everyone, as well as any other files from cricket android that would be of interest.
p.s. after you program with *22804 you can start using just the base *228 without a problem.. if you try just the 228 first it will just try to activate on verizon instead of cricket
p.s.s. I really hope this is the correct place to post this and its not breaking rules, I have not seen this easiest way of doing this posted anywhere yet, so I just thought I would try and share
Please tell me that this is not serious?
If you activate the ESN to your account and dial *22804 or *22809 in some markets, it will download the prl file and program the MDN, MIN, and SID.
This is way old stuff and does not work in many markets, as it does not here in Houston, TX.
Thanks for trying to be helpful. I didn't mean to clip yo nuts.

@marshallcodex - Have you tried contacting the community.sprint.com forum to see if they can provide us with more details or steps to add APN?
I just received a refurbished LS993 and applied the latest security update or patch released. Dialing the code to see the hidden menu also only provided the options you shared in your screen capture.
I am behind the curve because I am not eligible to receive the MSL code yet (the LS993 isn't listed as a DSU/UICC Unlockable from Sprint's unlock site). I need to either activate the phone with a new plan for 50 days or have a family/friend activate and use the phone for 50 days then request for the MSL code. Correct me if I'm wrong and I don't have to do it that way.
Anyhow good luck, hopefully you can find your answers and lead the way for us other LS993 owners.

The only possible way to unlock the apn section is to activate a new service with them....then the phone will be re-provisioned with all necessary stuff for the phone to work well.....i suggest we have to use their service [the $45 prepaid plan]...then cancel the service after a 3 or 4 days.....then get back to our normal carrier. I have my MSL but cant add apn still
If u already hav a sprint sim...just activate the $45 plan which will $50 [taxes included] the ready to go

A factory reset doesn’t work?

Unlimited hotspot/No root/Android 9

Works with any version on android even android 9
I have unlimited hotspot
This method only works if you own your phone.
Call sprint tell them you want to unlock your phone
Once they are done dial ##data#
Click edit
Pin: 000000
Click apn settings
Click add (if you can't click add, update profile and prl in setting and reboot or dial ##brand# and click yes)
Call it whatever (sprint custom)
Clone your other apn for sprint for each setting
Under apn type add dun with no spaces
EXP: default,mms,dun
Save the apn and choose it
That's it
Don't update your profile or you will have to select the custom again. You can update your prl all you want tho.
I know this says Note 9......i tried this on the Note 10+ and got nothing. Everything is greyed out so i cant even add or edit.
Wondering if theres another way. I've free hotspot for many years now....and i hope it doesnt end here with this Note 10+

This for note 8 running android 9.
Is your phone unlocked to make a dummy apn?
Used this method. It's working great for me.

not necessarily the equipment must be fully paid. If you have debts, you only need the MSL code. when you pay full your device, sprint unlocks it, the MSL changes to 000000

My notes msl has always been 000000, even when I was paying on it.
I own a Note 8 that was originally on AT&T I believe and unlocked.
I put a Sprint Sim in it and it has been on Sprint since January 2020.
It's on latest Android 9.
##data# just calls 3232 and "not a working number.
I have the original device unlock code.
Do I need to do something else?
Appreciate the help
I don't have Hotspot with my plan.
Jerry
.UPDATE:
I hit ##3232" where it should have been ##3282# and worked fine once i5figured that out.
Thank you for the tip.
