HELP with Flashing the New Samsung M810 S30 to CRICKET

[Babey♥]

I am new to Flashing and am currently trying to flash the new Sprint Samsung Instinct M810 S30. I have done the following:

1. I downloaded the drivers for the phone
2. Connected the phone via USB and put it on com port 2
3. I used uniCDMA to write the SPC to "000000"
4. Used QPST to write the PRL to Cricket.

After completing these steps and rebooting the phone I get a message saying welcome to America Roaming when pressing 611 and I get the Verizon message when I press *228 and get the Unable to program message as well when pressing 1. I have used several PRL's on this forum and have had no luck so for.

Does anyone have any tips or could tell me what I am doing wrong? Also can this phone be flashed for web as well or just voice and text?

Thanks

Use the 1040 Cricket PRL. I use the CDMA Workshop to write prls and then change the nam ports to Cricket's manually. I don't know what yours are since it is different from market to market.

I would suggest you hook up a cricket phone and read the nam ports to see what they say.

what market are you in? use 1042 or 1043 PRL and set your SID.... that is if you are not in an AWS market.

I am in Austin Tx. I have been selling phones for about 4 years now and am starting to flash as well so I am new to all of this. Do I actually need to be a cricket customer to know if the phone is flashed or how do I go about this. I use sprint and am just looking to flash some of these newer model phones I have to cricket to offer more of a variety. can some post the PRL that I need?

Ok I have started over again and used the 1042 PRL this round and when dialing 611 I get the American Roaming Network and when dialing *228 I get the normal verizon message, after I press 1 it tells me that the phone cant be programmed at the moment. Is this normal or am I missing a step?

What I was trying to say is check the nam ports and see that they are correctly programmed. You can do this by hooking up a cricket phone to the CDMA workshop and seeing what those settings are.

I have flashed this particular phone several times. Everytime I do, I have to set the SID/NID pairs to the local Cricket market here. Then I am able to do a 611 and get Cricket customer service.

Bottom line: if you dial 611 and don't get Cricket, it is usually the prl or the SID/NID pairs are incorrect. And by the way make sure you are using *2 instead of *228 to activate as this particular phone requires that.

I hope this helps you out.

Ok I found a list of PRL including ones for cities that are close as well. When I dial *2 I am getting an error message that says to call 611 for cricket customer care via your cricket phone. I went into the phone and the prl is showing to be on 1043 which is correct but I am still getting welcome to americas roaming network when dialing 611. I dont have any cricket phones do read for the sid.

*2 or *228 is how you activate your phone. Since you have not activated it with Cricket yet, it isn't going to program all the way.

You are good to go. Activate the phone with Cricket, press *2 and you are done.

[fireflyfan_2008]

manually program the phone. make sure you input your correct MDN and MIN. also make sure the correct ESN is on your account.

Or dial *22807 twice in a row. First call will fail the second call works most of the time.
