Samsung :: Flash Sprint Instinct M800 (original) To MetroPCS?
Jun 28, 2010
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 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 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.

A friend of mine just gave me his Touch Pro he no longer uses and i found out that i could switch to MetroPCS. Knowing this i went to the store to get it done and she told me it couldn't be done and she was like "i can flash it but i can't program it to make it work with Metro" so i walked out disappointed.Doing my own research using the web i've read many stories (even here in this forum) about people flashing the same kind of phone to MetroPCS and so i decided to do it myself, well not really but maybe get some ideas and know the process so i can go back to the store and tell them how do it.
As much as i read through i've got the ideas and concepts used during such flashing. At the store she told me after being flashed the MMS and WEB services wouldn't be available, i had no problem with that and now i found out that you can get such services with a bit more of effort.I know how to get the SPC.is the phone EVDO or AWS?which would be the best prl file for the phone?if i ever get it done i could just go the store and tell them to get its ESN into the system and make calls?If the info for all this has been already posted before could you direct to the right direction to them

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Does anyone know another code? Is there a method someone could help me with so I can find it?

I Have an LG VX9600, and have had it flashed to metro already, so i can sent texts, get call all the basics, but I know that you can program it to be able to use internet and picture messaging. I have connected my phone to my laptop and used the QPST Configuration program to open up the settings of the phone. I do have I think all the setting for the Metro web browser to work, but I can't find where they all go. Below I posted what setting I have.

i've been searching all over the internet for the userlock code for the Samsung Freeform III, it's not the one it usually is for MetroPCS. i would like to get into the settings and be able to download mp3's and images via the web browser, and even possibly tether via USB or Bluetooth. If anyone knows this code, or can help me figure out what it is. That would be great.

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.

Yesterday, I switched to MetroPCS. I got the Samsung Freeform phone. I am having a heck of a time trying to install java games on it. Someone on another site suggested that I install "BITPIM" and try it that way. I cannot figure out how to do it. Can somebody shed some light on this. If not, I guess I will have to return the phone back to MetroPCS. This phone uses the "BREW" platform.

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.

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 have a Samsung SCH-R350 (Freeform) and awhile back I was in the NAM program screen (when you dial 47*86..etc..) and I found one called "theme," thought it would be smart to change it from "2" to "3" (hoping there was a hidden theme as none can be downloaded for this phone) and it restarted the phone. When it turned back on where it says "contacts/messages/menu" (pretty much all the words/letters) are kinda fuzzy lookin and if you do anything like go into the menu, messages, contacts or dial ANYTHING then the phone just restarts. You can still go on to the internet and applications/@metro (right or left arrow key) but anything else restarts the phone. How could I go about fixing this??? Should I just take it into a METRO store and lie about how it happened?? I can't get calls or make calls (not even with a bluetooth and voiceservices). What should I do as my CDMAWorkshop's demo time expired so now I only have CDMATools 4 and QPST?

I am trying to decide between the HTC hero and the Samsung Moment for sprint. The main thing I want is to pair a bluetooth keyboard with it. However I can't find if the moment supports SPP or HID profiles. I know HID support isn't in android yet, but I saw this, http://i-miss-erin.blogspot.com/2009.n-android.html ,and realized that possibility I might be able to add HID support myself? So does anyone know what profiles are supported?
