Cricket on Qwest XV6800 Issue (Mogul, Titan)

hi all. i have followed numerous guides online, but cannot get my phone on Cricket's network. my ESN is activated, and i can get *611 and *228 to work. all other calls forward to "American Roaming". the current setup is:
Radio 3.42.50
dcd 3.3.4 flash
nue2.47 SPL
1039/1050 PRL
i can access my EPST with a non 000000 code (stupid Qwest) but *228 doesn't work. it will only spit an error after "15 failed attempts" and reboot. i do not have access to a Windows machine running QPST as the drivers are fudged and i would have to reinstall to get the 6700 drivers to work (not my favourite O/S)
i think my issue is in the PRL. Cricket gave me a 5 number MSID last time i called so i think i will be calling them again :/
thanks for any help!

Found this on another forum...hope it helps..

First and most important is the SID number Cricket uses for your area. In Phoenix it is 4923. Every market has a different SID, I had a link to a website that listed all the SID's used by all the carriers in all the US markets but I had to format and reinstall Win XP and lost a great deal of my info. I found the link on Howard Forums, a person whose name was 3 letters starting with X__. Anyway go into that programming menu and in the NAM 1 setup you need to enter the SID, and enter your 10 digit phone number where it asks for MIN and MDN. They may be called other things, (mobile id number, phone number, directory number, MSID) but usually it's just your number you need to enter. The rest of the stuff in the programming menu just leave as it is or set to default value. Now if you are lucky when you dial 611 you will get Cricket's automated system and you only need to give the rep your ESN for them to activate your phone on the network. If you still get VM's CS when dialing 611 then you will need a data cable, free software called BITPIM and a copy of Cricket's current PRL file. That file is automaticly downloaded to your phone when dialing *228 but like I said if your not getting Cricket with 611 then the data cable is needed to manually load the file. Post back here if you have any problems and I will try to help. I have sucessfully done this for two phones (only voice and text msging, don't have parameters to make MMS and BREW work yet)so it is possible. Good luck.

never mind guys. they changed my phone number! $#%#[email protected]!
oh well. anyway, this forum has been great, and i thank you for all the help!

thanks crobs808
i am up and running. it seem that the MSID number is a phone number different from mine, however, if i enter my original phone number as the Mobile Directory number, all is well!
so they can be different on Cricket, though the MDN is the one that calls, texts respond to

How do you use OTA programming on the ppc6800?

I have a qwest ppc6800 that i put the alltel software on. Im trying to do the esn change, which is now available online so i can do that, but then when it says to dial *228 it will say programming, but it will not do the programming, it just says "the number or code you dialed is incorrect" or something like that. It wont let me dial any numbers, just gives me that message even for any codes. Any idea what the deal with that is?

change spc to 000000 using qpst or cdmaworkshop

Ok i searched and cant figure this out. I found the cdma workshop and downloaded it. I tried getspc but just read that it dont work on the qwest branded phones. So, sounds like i have to do what you said. But i cant figure it out, i cant connect my phone to that program. Can i get some more info on how to do this?

Anyone? I really want to try this phone out and see if i can get it hooked up to my number. I just need to be able to do the OTA programming. I just cant figure out how to get the unlock code and change that.
I found something called pocket putty, no idea how to set that up or anything. Im clueless right now, but i got the programs so if anyone can help me.

So no on that is on knows how to do this?? Ive searched and searched and its pissing me off. Ive also now tried BAFMSL or whatever it is. It went on my phone, says its installing but it dont show up in the programs menu so i dono..............

How do i get that bafmsl thing working??? I put the .net it said i needed and it installed successfully. It brings up a little list like its installing the bafmsl but the ****ing thing wont show up in the programs so i dont know what to do.......................................

You will need CDMA Workshop 2.7 cracked to do what you want. Google it.
You need the SPC . If you don't know the SPC then unless it can be read with cdmaworkshop without having to know it already, my suggestion is to flash it to sprint which will change it to their spc for your esn, then run getSPC on the phone and enter the phones esn to get the correct spc. then goto cdmaworkshop, enter that spc and then change it to 000000
Flash the Alltel flash then. which will get rid of the sprint crap. then you can do the *228 (Be sure to put a Alltel PRL in it if you do not use the actual alltel loader (if you unlocked your phone with olipro then you would need to relock or use the sdcard flash method, i recomend the sdcard method) you can used cdmaworkshop to put the prl in it.)
if after all that you cannot get it to *228 (it should state alltel wireless when you call it) then start dialing *22801, *22802, *22803,*22804, *22805 until you hear alltel. you will find other carriers in your area this way, just hang up until you find alltel. some will not dial.
Good Luck. I'm sure theres a easier way, but those will get you there.

I downloaded some stuff form a torrent, its cdma tools. It has cdma workshop and cdma workshop cracked, but the cracked one does not work. It says you cannot run this without a password or sometihng, but the regular one starts up fine.
There are multiple things ive read that read the spc, but none of them are working. The one method i read doenst work on this particular branded phone. And the others will not work for me. There is a bafmsl grabber or something like that, put it on my phone and try to install it, but it doesnt show up in the programs menu. Thats supposed to give me the unlock code, i think.
I have no idea how i unlocked and switched the phone, i did it a while ago. I had help on here tho so maybe its in my other thread about how i did it, cuz i dont remember at all.
Will the spring software make it so i can use getSPC? This phone is branded QWEST and i read that getspc dont work on the qwest branded phones. Which must be why it wouldnt work for me.

I kinda doubt installing the sprint software will change the spc but you might be lucky. Try this method if this doesn't work you may be out of luck.

Big Problem for me!

Hey all, I need help.....bought a HTC hero off craigslist, should've known better. The esn went fine but the msl code never worked...I researched and found out that the phone's msl was changed to "0's"...so I'm guessing it was unlocked for another carrier possibly Cricket. Well, I need it to be on Sprint...phone and text works fine, but no data. Do I need to flash it back to Sprint or is there settings that I need for my data to be restored? Please help!
If anything, how do I restore the OEM msl code in case I need to bring it back for tech support? I'm sure they frown big time if they see it's unlocked!

Try calling sprint tech support about, you'll probably just need to run the ruu program from the sprint website.

Yes, I suggest trying the Sprint RUU found here, but I would try it BEFORE calling tech support if you're worried about them finding out if its been unlocked/rooted

T-Mobile

Is there anybody that would be able to call T-Mobile to get me the Unlock Code for my Samsung Vibrant, if I give them my IMEI.
I had my phone unlocked and for some reason it randomly locked up again.
I would call T-mobile myself, but I am not with them and I live in Canada.
If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!

T-Mobile gives former eligible customers free unlock codes.

Unfotunately I don't think it will work. The phone has to have been registered on the users account, meaning the user must have put their sim in the phone before, or there has to be proof that exact phone with the IMEI was purchased from T-Mobile by the account holder.
But luckily for you, if you were a T-mobile customer in the past, and you did in fact use that Vibrant on their network, they will provide you the unlock code again.
For your reference
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm51885.xml
"T-Mobile will provide the SIM Unlock Code upon request to eligible former customers, provided that T-Mobile has such code or can obtain it from the manufacturer. "
Who knows though, might work, if you are willing to find someone to try it for you.

Yeah i am pretty sure the person who had the phone before wad with t mobile, so it should be fine. I just need someone who is with t mobile to call in for me since i am not with tmobile.

There was an app in the app store that'll give you the unlock code. That's how I unlocked mine. Check the market as it was a free app.

You don't need to even bother with that. Use this thread to fix the unlock. This will make it more permanent. Hopefully. It worked for me on two different devices. Cheers!

Thanks for the responses..
Yeah I unlocked my phone myself a month ago and for some reason It became locked again randomly. Dont know why... I just dont want to go through all that work again, and have it happen again... If I get the Sim Unlock code then it wont be a problem, and I can just put in the # again. When I originally tried to get the number through the SGS Unlocker it just gave me 8 zeros, so that method dident work.
The computer that I am using does not have all the drivers and crap and it is not my computer so I do not want to load everything on it.
If anyone with T-Mobile dosent mind calling for me that would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is you can't use the sim unlock code once you have gone through this process that they would send you. If you went through that process, then the code is whatever you set. If you don't remember what that number is, then you will have to do it all over again.

It is not that i do.not remember. I put in eight zeros in. But some everything was reset and it is locked again. I tried the eight zeros and it sosent work. I think i used a different nethod. I did not use the batch files. I used adb and edited the nv data. I am pretty sure if i were to get the sim unlock from t.mobile it will work. I dident choose 0000000 as a sim code it just told me to enter that in the instructions.

The problem is that number replaced the old msl. So you have no choice.

What do you mean Msl?

Msl = master subsidy lock aka unlock code

[Q] Obtained MSL unlock code from Sprint- still unable to unlock.

Hi guys,
I'm starting a new topic because the only information I could find was from 1 or 2 years ago, before Sprint started giving unlock codes after Feb. 2015.
I recently ported my number to T-Mobile and was unable to unlock my device before my service was severed. Now I am stuck in a rut and cannot get service on EITHER network.
After running around all day, trying to get Sprint stores to help, calling customer service, etc... I was finally able to chat with a Customer Service rep, pay my ETF balance (it had not been posted yet, I asked to pay early). After that, the rep gave me the 6 digit unlock code. I tried punching in *#0011# but I cannot access a menu, it just flashes
MENU NOT EXIST
PRESS BACK KEY
CURRENT COMMAND IS 1111
After that it just displays "No service".
The phone did not acknowledge the T-Mobile SIM at all. I did a network restore code (I forget the dial code) and now it says Invalid SIM Card- so, it knows the card is there.
I cannot get it to a point where it asks for the MSL number.
Can anyone please help? I'm tearing my hair out here.
Thanks,
-Tory

If anyone is going through this same problem, please see this thread and my experience doing this manually, starting with post 1456.
Don't despair! It's a huge pain to go through this if you're only a recreational Android user (like me), but it can be done if you do your homework and follow the steps slowly.
Thanks be to the board, and the people on it.
