I have a TITA100(Quest) that I am unable to launch EPST.exe on. I need to enter in the SPC # that I generated, but when I tap it to launch it reads EPST at the top for a sec but never leaves the file browser. I have also tried ##778(#), but the phone dials to a quest message service that says I am unable to dial this number.
I want to configure it for cricket.
Here is what I have done so far.....
Started with: Radio v. 1.39.00, ROM V. 2.13.656.2, Bootloader 1.2
Went to bootloader 2.40(via Hard-SPL-MF.exe), Scrosler's Titan ROM 3.26 w/touchflow. and then Radio 3.42.30.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or solutions.
I got it to work after doing the using reedit to dump the code into a text file. I am not sure if that activated something, but it worked.

So go to settings then phone the location and turn it to 911 only, GPS is now off. I don't think there are any gps settings in EPST but I could be wrong. And I run GPS all the time and have no problems with my battery life. I think you have other issues.
i may be wrong, but my Quest XV6800 didn't have the EPST.exe executable in it's original ROM (it's also in the Windows directry). i believe i flashed it to Alltel's stock ROM to get to it, and reset the SPC to 000000's. i couldn't get it into debug mode with the Quest ROM either
i have flashed many Moguls and the Quest ones are always the most peculiar...
i can't get epst to launch. i tried repeatedly starting it, using ##778 AND EPST.EXE in \Windows. I then soft restarted two or three times, trying both methods after each boot.
Is there any way to fix this? Otherwise, is there another way to enter the A KEY? I'm gettin an auth error when making calls.
rom 4.1.2 radio 3.42.50 pri 1.35_002
Installed DCD Verizon Carrier Cab from http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/index.php?dir=carriers and that allowed me to launch EPST via both methods.
Did not eliminate the need for a new A KEY.
Still kinda learning this stuff, I flashed everything OK, and now the GPS works with Garmin XT. This is on a "practice" phone, one that was kind of beatup that I could practice on before I flash my actual phone. I couldn't get EPST to work till I loaded the Verizon cab described below. Question is, will I have to load this cab every time I flash a new ROM, or does it have more to do with flashing a different radio ROM?
This is a great forum, I've learned a lot, and still learning. Thanks everyone.
Dale.
Some roms are carrier specific and have the info included. Most roms state that installing the carrier cab is necessary. This allows the same rom for all titans and then the user just adds carrier info. Just read the rom instruction better next time. Most list if the cab is needed.

Anyone have a ROM of WM2003 that works w/ T-mobile USA? I tried about 5 and no luck. XDA dev Rom works great and so does my old one, but can't find a 2003 rom that works. All either hang at the boot/welcome screen or don't boot.
--Mike
So far I have tried 3 different 2003 roms.
The first the "O2" rom loaded, but gave me some intermittent problems.
The second “For Testing Only” rom worked great. Only one small problem with Microsoft reader. I most likely wouldn’t have changed except that the new ROMkitchen got me more excited than it probably should have.
Now I am using the ROMkitchen version very happily….(same problem with the reader though)
Interesting because I tried the ROMkitchen version yesterday and got the same, hangs on welcome screen result. Did you do anything special other than put it on SD with XDArit? I have Wallaby 5.15 bootloader which I think is what the unit shipped with but from what I've read this is fine.
I'm just at a loss because I've tried most everything I can think of. Which file type did you select from the ROMkitchen? I grabbed the nb1. Should I try NBF? Does it matter what I put in the "header string" at the bottom of the ROMkitchen page? I noticed when I try to upgrade it says my device is PW10B1. Does that matter?
Maybe you can post or email me your ROM and I can try that today.
--Mike
I didn't use the SD card boot with the Kitchen rom version. I had the Kitchen create an .exe file and let it load through usb. I actually did it 2 times...and it worked both times. Just did it the second time after they fixed PocketMVP.
I will e-mail it to you if you want, but I think that you should try creating an .exe through the Kitchen first...since that is what I would e-mail anyway.

The Hang that you see may be caused by the simtoolkit loading on startup. Try removing the link in the windows startup folder. that may help
My fellow T-Mobile WM2003 users, I have been using all 3 versions successfuly with no freezups. There is a little trick that increases stability when on the US networks:
Go to your \Windows\StartUp\ directory and DELETE Ussd.lnk and STK.lnk.
These are autoconfiguration apps that work with European providers but do nothing for the T-Mobile network; so much so, that with the T-Mo original ROM these apps were not used at all.
When these apps run in T-Mo's (Cingular's) network here in Los Angeles area, I've even experienced random cold resets when switching cell sites.
Ok, sounds like that's the problem then, but how do I remove this from the startup if I can't get it to go past the welcome screen? Can I bould a ROM in the kitchen w/o these options? I only saw an option for where to "move" these apps and not an option to not have them installed at all.
--Mike
Sorry, the kitchen doesn't allow you to do that. If you know how, you can burn your own rom and exclude these items. Anyone know what ussd is for? As mentioned, i have deleted the toolkit link and have not had any problems, just curious as to what ussd is.

Now it does...
Check the new 'Remove 'stk.lnk' from Startup folder' option. If someone tells me what ussd is and why it's bad, I'll add it to the remove list for this option...
Tried the new ROM w/ stk.lnk
Ok, I tried the new ROM and still no luck. Tried it as both .exe and as a SD flash and get the same net result. System hangs after bringing up the radio stack version and OS version as well as the third number which is: G324e4.
This device flawlessly runs the 3.17 xda ROM as well as T-mobile 3.14 so I don't understand why it will not take any 2003 ROM successfully. Any more ideas?
USSD
Unstructured Supplementary Services Data
USSD is a means of transmitting information or instructions over a GSM network. USSD has some similarities with SMS since both use the GSM network's signaling path. Unlike SMS, USSD is not a store and forward service and is session-oriented such that when a user accesses a USSD service, a session is established and the radio connection stays open until the user, application, or time out releases it. This has more in common with Data than SMS. USSD text messages can be up to 182 characters in length.
STK is for SIM ToolKit - It should not cause any problems unless you have a really old SIM Card.
I think USSD is basicaly a thing for ie. GSM banking - it allows the network to send you binary SMSes deciphered by the SIM (when I login with my GSM key to a bank account, I receive a message with temporary password, it is not sent through ordinary SMS, but delivered to the SIM toolkit area which is protected by PIN)

xda-developers,
might be a stupid question but, i checked the command to remove stk.lnk from startup in (one of the reigstry hacks) and the command is the same as to add object. how do u remove it from startup, is it based on the file name. this one has rmobj extension.
thanks

Here's how to get your MSL Unlock Code to edit the settings found under "Dialer Codes" (##code#)#) mentioned earlier.
0. Download GetSPC
http://www.5gmobile.us/mobilefiles/VX6800/GetSPC.zip (if this link doesn't work then try googling "GetSPC" or checking the download section)
Instructions:
1. Unzip and copy the extracted GetSPC folder (with all 3 files) to the storage card on your device.
2. Write down the ESN (Hex) number found behind the battery.
3. Power up and run the 'GetSPC(PPC 2003)' executable on your device.
4. In the 'Input' field, enter the ESN number you wrote down but be sure to use ALL CAPITOLS for the alpha values. (Ex: 123ABCD4, not 123abcd4)
5. Hit the 'Go' button. The value in the 'Output' field will be your "Unlock Code".
I was under the impression Titan/Mogul users didn't use the 2003... we used the other since we are running WM5 or higher

This will run fine with WM5 and WM6 just run it off you phone i use this to find it my code and it will work trust me
I've already done it but I used the non 2003 one.
I just called *2 and asked for it. Simply said I was doing a software upgrade and needed it in case something went wrong.
Thanks a lot for this little program! I flashed the ROM on my mogul tonight, and didn't have the unlock code for the ESPT. I found this post and it worked perfectly on my sprint phone.
thanks!

thanks for this
I'm actually glad you posted this. This would have helped me out a couple days ago when I was searching frantically for getSPC and couldn't remember the name. Did you know if you search for msl on here and ppcgeeks, you get no results? I eventually found it on some random forum in the middle of nowhere.
lol next time type in search MSL
meh, I really didn't think caps would make a difference. Ya live, ya learn
Yeah, I've done it both ways and I don't know which is quicker...
Just call and say you are dropping calls and want to reprogram your phone, they will start by telling you the MSL
Weird issue. I used GetSPC and got my MSL. It worked, i changed the RevA setting. I've upgraded to the 3.35 ROM. I've installed some other apps as well, but now my MSL isn't working. Getting the unlock code failed message? Anyone know what could be causing this?
I'm having a error message that pops up also. I did is instructed by the instructions and the error message is: Could not link to DLL. Anyone knows what causes this?
Very much appreicated
thanks for the help this actually works thanks!!!!!
glad to see this here ,a long time ago ,i found this everywhere,none.it is very useful ! thanks!
I't didn't work on my mogul. help.....
case SENSITIVE and unzip both the dll file and the exe to the same place
didn't it come with this in the zip?
"all you need to do is find your HEX ESN (under the battery on the sticker)
Extract to a folder on your device, then run the exe (not the 2003 one)
Put in your ESN and SHAZAM! theres ur MSL"
yea i did that. i got a 6 digit number and when i entered it it still said it wasnt the right unlock code.
Sprint MSL
Are they not all just "000000"
I recently ported my number to sprint but before then I changed the rom on my vogue and now the code the customer rep gave me to change the MDN and MSID don't work. How can I change my MDN and MSID now?
I would flash it with the standard Sprint ROM, set up the phone settings, then flash the ROM back to whatever one you want.
No wait don't do that yet. Try this. Put this program and .dll file on your phone, in my documents perhaps. Now run GetSPC, enter the ESN hex # with any letters in CAPS and hit "go" and it should give you the spc. Now hit "talk" and put in ##******# (****** being the 6 digit # u get from GetSPC) and then go to edit. U should be able to change them from there
have you tried ##402535# and then edit?
I am having the same trouble
I am having the same trouble only I did not flash this phone I bought it this way and can't get in to set the msid. I cant even get the link with my computer to work but I did got the get spc files on my memory card and put it in and used astro an tryed to use it but it says it dont know what to do with am exe file. I have a htc touch 6900 and am stuck. I am such a newbie to phones so I am lost. I tried the ## number that the last guy posted . Any one have any other ideas.
Thanks

The easiest way (at least for me) is to change all this stuff via WM. Just flash NFSFan's rom and change this via PST programming. Once you are done, flash back to Android.
I am running NFSFan's WM6.5 rom and am having the same issue. I cannot activate my phone because it will not take the "##*****#" code from sprint.
egzthunder1 recommended using PST programming but I am not sure what that means.

If you are using NFS, you will find a folder under the Start Menu that is called Phone Codes. The dialer in NFS is skinned if memory serves me well, which means that the ##.. codes will not work.

When trying this, I get an error message that says that GetSPC.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

ei,
nid help for my sim menu..
i tried to download 3 different roms in my PDA (O2 IIs) and all of them has the sim menu.
however, all of them has a problem accessing to this menus. (thats the reason why i reflash and reflash again different roms for me to check what is the problem.)
my sim is also a retailer sim and i read some of your post that your are also a retailer. so im asking if how did you manage to enter and have access to you sim.
ok, maybe you are having a hard time imagining what im trying to imply with "access" and "enter".
in my previous mobile phone (n70), i can send load one's number using the smart menu HOWEVER, in my PDA, although i can see the menu, enter in the first level where i can see the options like phonebook/inbox, buddy balance, PLDT load and etc. But when im trying to enter some of this options, there is no joy. I cant access this options. i cant select one of them. even clicking or double clicking it will not gain you the access to enter the 2nd level.
thus, i cant use them but i can see the first level.
So hope you can also help me with this. I have difficulty trying to extract my sim card and putting it to another phone just to load up myself and other mobile phone.
Thank you very much in advance for your response.. thanks.
Ill be waiting for it.
Thanks..

PDAVIET ROM (Build 19213) has a working STK. Me & some others also tried to extract the STK out of it and to create a CAB to be used in other ROMs. But we all failed. If U do it successfully, shere it with us too....

Yes, i saw somewhere else that doing it by cab didn't do the trick since it was impossible to update some areas which are embbeded in the ROM.
I have absolutely no idea and no know-how to do it.
I've tried on PDAVIET 19213 ROM download, but i can succeed. If you have the link for rapidshare or else, please tell me.

Ok, so i managed to download ROM WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.19213 (Build 19213.1.0.4 PV DVH) and installed it on my BA, and the STK Menu remains not working.
Any thoughts ?

I just want to share my experience with you. I had to change my phone number thus required a PRL reprogram. Because I am running the latest NFSROM with WM6.5, the instructions from Bell (in Canada) would not work. Someone on this forum said that he had to revert to the original firmware from Bell and then flash back. However, I found the way to do it with out reverting back or even a hard reset:
-Run PST program under \Windows
-Choose edit and Enter your lock code (call MST). This should have been given to you on the Bell instruction. I heard the Verizon one is 000000. For Spring you can find the getpst program.
-Change the MSID to your new phone number on the default Display page.
-Change the Mobile Directory Number (MDN) on the NAM page to your new number as well.
-Make sure that all other relate fields i.e. MINs, MMC, MNC, NMSI, IMSI ... is correct. They should be changed automatically after you change the MSID and the MDN number.
-Quit the program. It will ask if you want to reset the phone. Say yes.
At this point, your phone should work. However, the aGPS might not be working. You will get fix via the internal GPS but it will take a long time because aGPS is not working properly. If this happen, install the Bell Carrier Cab here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3680840#post3680840
I imaging the procedure is very similar on other carriers.
You are a life saver! THANK YOU!
