Samsung :: Sprint Instinct SPH-M800 Flash To Cricket Network
Jun 22, 2010
I have been using google and this forum's seach feature to try to get the answer to my question, but I've read different things and ended up confused.First of all, I have unlocked my Spring Samsung and uploaded the 01040 Cricket PRL and it seems to be working because when I dial 611 I get a message from Cricket. Over the air programming doesn't seem to work when dialing *228, and from reading threads I am guessing I will have to do it manually.I am confused as to at what step do I call Cricket Customer service to get some info I need. Plus, from reading another topic someone said I need to get the min#, mdn#, and sid# http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...nstinct-please from Cricket CS, is this correct? Or what info do I need to ask Cricket CS in order to continue to QPST configuration?
I am assisting a good friend of mine with flashing his Instinct to Metro. His Instinct went down and he bought another on ebay. I am trying to save him a few dollars as he has a lot on his plate with his mortgage and all. I owned an Instinct at one time so I am familiar with the "debug menu" etc. I am also pretty tech savvy and am always tweaking my devices...however have never flashed a phone. I understand I may need QTSP...If you have a link for download it would be appreciated. If you have a link to a step by step or could pass on instructions it would be greatly appreciated.
I bought an Instinct M800 from Ebay and it came with a "user locked password" and the seller doesn't seem to remember what it is. The MEID is clean so I don't believe it to be stolen. My problem is, how do I remove the password? I've tried for hours entering random 4 digit passwords and nothing so far. I ended up buying a data cable for the phone but I can't seem to get the phone to load/connect with Vista, be it a driver issue, or because the phone is locked.
I recently had a shop flash my HTC evo from Sprint to Cricket. Everything went well and the talk/text/and 3G internet all work. The thing is that Google Maps, Android market, and streaming videos, don't work. If I wanted to revert back to Sprint and sign up with Sprint, how do I go about getting my phone back to how it was?
After about an hour of searching I think I finally Found the right USB drivers, and I haven't tried it yet but from past experience. Anyway I am assuming That I could use PC Studio to connect it to my PC, What else do I need to know, any advice would help out. Its on sprints network right now.
A couple years ago my wife bought a Samsung Instinct M810. I flashed the phone to Verizon so she could use PagePlus. Everything has been working fine but the phone has really been beaten up. About the only thing that still works is the speed dial function.
A few days ago I found another Instinct in mint condition for her. I have been trying to flash it to Verizon with limited luck. I activated the phone with PagePlus and received a phone number ( I was planning on porting her number when I had everything working).The phone connects to Verizon but it can't connect to OTP. If I dial a number I get connected to Verizon with the message "Welcome to Verizon, unfortunately we cannot identify your phone, etc."
The problem is that when I dial *22890 (or any *228xx number)the signal bars vanish and there is an indicator showing no service and the call is dropped. After the call is dropped the signal returns and I can again connect to Verizon. I have tried several PRL's, even the one on my wife's current phone but it doesn't make any difference. I didn't have this much trouble with her other phone so I am at a loss.
I'm unable to use either the ringtone feature or the MP3 player on this phone, Telus has some sort of lock on it, software I imagine. Is their anyway around this?
I went to cricket and got my phone flashed, basic, well it will not let me send text out. I can receive but not send. So i was like well **** I am sure I can flash at home. So when I got home I started researching how to flash myself. So went threw allot was already set up since it was pre flashed. I went ahead and opened the web but I do not have web access since I do not pay for it, I have a Iphone for that. But even though I re flashed using prl 01039 I can still not send out text. Can receive I can make calls receive calls just not send out text.
I flashed my phone so it will work on Cricket's Network, But I am having problems getting it fully flashed over to receive MMS Messages. I have followed step by step instructions & still not working. Below are pics of my LG NV Edit's that I have done & what keeps happening. Please help me out if you can & let me know what I am doing wrong.
I had ALOT of problems trying to flash my HTC Touch to CricKet so here is a guide to flash your phone and skip the problems I had.
1. Download GetSPC 2. Copy GetSPC.exe to the device its self or to a SD card. 3. Browse the device to find the GetSPC using File Explorer. 4. Run GetSPC 5. Enter your ESN HEX in the first box and then press "go" or something 6. In the "output" box it should be a 6 diget number. 7. Write this down you'll need it later. 8. Put the phone into "DIAG" mode by dialing ##3424# a program should launch 9. Once launched plug the phone Via USB into your computer 10. Drivers should install if not heres what I use -> Drivers 11. Download QPST 12. Once installed launch QPST Configuration 13. It should say SURF##### or something if not add ports, keep adding ports until phone is detected. 14. Once detected click on "Start Clients" then "Service Programing" 15. Once launched click on your phone. 16. Select "Read from phone" at the bottom 17. under codes change the "Service Programing code" to 000000 18. Then select "Write to phone" 19. Click on the "Roaming" or "Roam" Tab 20. Download a CricKet .PRL file from here 21. Once downloaded click on "Browse" on QPST Service Programing 22. Locate the CricKet .PRL 23. Select "Write to phone" 24. Then you'll need to call CricKet and ask them for your MSID or MID to your phone number, or if you already had a Windows Mobile phone dial ##000000# 25. Then you'll need to dial ##PST# (##778#) 26. Then Follow these steps -> Steps Credits to RyanMogul6800 for settings 27. Then you should run a CricKet ROM MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE HAS BEEN UNLOCKED USING COKEMAN'S 2.31 UNLOCKER!! 28. Link to CoKeman's unlocker -> Link 29. You'll need to run a CricKet ROM Vetvito, makes some pretty good ROMs here is a link to them -> Link 30. Once you run the ROM updater you'll need to get a CricKet .CAB for Internet and MMS heres the .CAB 31. After that you should just need to activate it on your CricKet account 32. Go out and show off how great CricKet really is!!!
Credits go to HornDoctor and Whitey10TC for helping me flash my phone, and TobeyChris RyanMogul6800 ImCoKeMaN and Vetvito .Have fun with your new CricKet HTC Touch.I am not a member of the CricKet Mafia but would like to be!
I have a cricket phone atm and my friend just gave me his old phone ( Moto Q [ A1 i believe]) after he upgraded. My question is ( and i've browsed the forums and I might just be missing the topic but... ) how do i take the info from the cricket and put it on the Moto Q
Well my friend switched to ATT from Verizon and gave me her sweet motorola Devour. I'm pretty big on phone modding and so I was looking forward to using this phone but I want to switch it over to cricket.Is there anyway I can get this phone to work on the cricket network? I have actually seen one on the cricket network but have found no literature on the internet what so ever. Any information would be much appreciated, Thanks!
i had this phone for a while, and I work on a farm so the screen got scratched cuz i didnt take good enouch care of the phone, so i bough a replacement touch screen off of ebay and received it, so i got the phone apart and installed it only to turn my phone back on and find out i cant get any signal watsoever, why i cant get any signal
I have a Samsung Instinct flashed to Verizon wireless, I was wondering how i could get internet working on it? I see in other forums that people got metropcs internet on this phone so it shouldnt be too hard to put verizon on here right?
Seems sprint's drivers page will not give up the drivers anymore. Can some email me or point out where I could find the USB drivers? I have the mass storage one but I need the other.
I followed the instructions on how to flash my Instinct over to the Cricket network. http://ucanflash.com/samsung-instinct-S30.html
Now the only issue I am having is registering my ESN to their network in order to use it. I am somewhat confused as to how I am supposed to do so. I called the customer service number provided on their web site and asked the young lady what I needed to do in order to use my phone on their network. She really didn't understand what I was asking, but she did promptly try to sell me a new package with a free phone. I need some clarification on this subject in order to finish the setting up of this phone.
I stopped at the part where you have to change your ESN: "After changing your SPC code to six zeros "000000" and writing the new Cricket PRL on to the phone, do the ESN change through Cricket (ESN = Electronic Serial Number)". I want my daughter to be able to use this phone since it has given me such good service since I have had it for almost a year. I know they do work on the Cricket network because I have done my research, but I need some input from those of you who have inside information on how the process works with the activation of the phone.
I have a instinct that has a power button that doesn't work. I looked inside the phone and the mini ribbon with the 2 traces was damaged. Is there any way to replace that, or where to get a replacement ribbon?
i have been looking for the lock code under Menu> 3 > * > lock code:=? i have tried 450667 but it will not work! does anyone have a list of the codes? another thing i have a Sprint Samsung instinct that i just flashed over to metro i fixed the web and now need to fix the mms. if i could get into that menu in my messenger it would show me the settings.
As the title suggests, I have a US Cellular branded Razr V9m that I want to flash to use the Sprint Firmware. I got a copy of the sprint monster firmware (decrypted).I also found the Mark_Venture guide detailing how to flash the VZW Monster firmware to this model.However, I see that there are a few Verizion-specific things that need to be done in order to make this go...I assume that some of these may not be necessary to make mine work on the sprint network.
So, I was hoping that someone else out there may have done this successfully and could give me a few pointers so as to help me avoid bricking a phone I just started working with.Once flashed with the Sprint FW, I should be able to contact them and have service switched to the new phone, right?
I am with Cricket and tried for long time to use my mobile web plan on my samsung u340 for my computer with no luck. I already installed the driver for windows 7 and able to communicate with the phone with no problem; I have my USB cable for the U340; I followed the instrudtions on the web and set up a dialup networking for my PC. Username is the (10 digits of my cell)@mycricket.com, password is "cricket", the dial number is "#777". I always got "Error 678". I called cricket and they said I need to get in their boardband plan $45/mo. and get the USB modem in order to have internet on my PC. One reason I pay more for the mobile web is trying to use it on my PC, otherwise I will not do the mobile web since it takes forever to send an email with the phone.Is it because of the Samsung u340 won't work with the #777 OR I did something wrong?Any help will be appreciated
I have everything working im trying to get the mms and wap working but i can get it to work in cdma work shop and i downloaded the cab file but i dont know how to install it on this type of phone any help
