After U340 Cricket bin flash no ERI

[xMeTAlxChICkx]

okay, so i followed the tut on flashing the u340 and I have no PRL or ERI... I have entered the codes listed here and from the tut, neither make the PRL or ERI appear in Menu Settings PhoneInfo Version. I have tried loading the PRL using CDMA Workshop, QPST, SPST_Lite and none stay. I feel I am not a newb. I have cricket firmware loaded okay, just cant get PRL or ERI. I got the ESN to take right off the bat. So if anyone has a solution, post it please... Thanks

But what if a customer does the *228 later on? Also is the 1040PRL still the current PRL for Raleigh-Durham NC?

I think the 43 that randomwit did are all those "minute phones" LOL.
So yeah, you can do that to your son's too.

Tell them about it. What I do with every MEID u340 I sell I give the customer a slip of paper with their MEID ESN and the MEID DEC and the dial code how to manually program their phone and a warning that the phone won't OTA right. Never had any complaint from anybody. Honesty is the best policy.

As for the prl, 1042 is one of the newest ones.

when you enter the codes you should notice the yellow orangish circle on the top right of the screen go away...if so, then the codes have served their purpose...

to load prl, use patagonia for the old esn u340s and qxdm for the new meid u340s...

enjoy.

[fabuqueen]

yeah...i've done a lot of these and they were all verizon inpulse...

they flash fine, but you want to flash the cricket .bin file, enter the codes as described here, and then use patagonia to write the prl...

enjoy and happy hacking...

Thanks, I tried using QXDM like you suggested but phone still shows None for PRL and ERI and H is blank

I just noted under Version in Phone Info (in the phone menu):

PRL: None
S:U340.AG27
H:
ERI: None

Maybe H being blank is my issue?


Note: using same steps on another phone PRL shows in Menu but not ERI or H; and I dont have a signal (just red circle with slash). Other phone with no PRL shows R and has signal...

WTH!!!


How do I get ERI back?
Any ideas on what to do to get the PRL to load on the one phone? I have reflashed it 3 times tring Normal and Emergency but it doesnt make a difference....

Does anyone have an original Verizon bin that I can use to flash back to Verizon?
Thanks

i have been working on these u340 inpulses alot lately and i believe that the reason for the OTA not working is the firmware itself. now hear me out the firmware only accepts the 8 digit hex ESN, just like the non-inpulse u340, so for the ones that have MEIRAB you will have to write the pESN which is the MEID nuraber converted down to a 8 digit hex pseudo ESN. now if there is a way for the Full 14 digit MEID to be written to the phone then maybe the OTA will work. this is because the pESN can not be converted back to the MEID so you have to activate your phone with the meid the system wont accept pESNs, pESN can be identified by the first two nurabers which is 80. the pESN wont associate that nuraber with your account as far as MDN and MINs are concerned.

Yeah, I have a Verison Impulse that works great on Cricket... except for one thing. Picture messaging doesn't work. The Cricket guy said it had to do with the PRL he wrote. I'm not much of a coder, and I don't know jack about cell phones, but if it's possible to make picture messaging work then I gotta figure it out and I could use all the help I can get.

what you want ot do is enter the codes exactly as they are listed...

then use QXDM 2.08, put your prl in the root of your C: drive, and enter the following commanRAB:

mode offline-d

spc "000000" **or wahtever your spc is**

pr_list_wr 0 "C:\prlname.prl" **put 1040 or whatever the name of your prl is where it ways prlname**

mode reset




those commanRAB should write your prl...after the pr_list_wr command QXDM should respond "normal completion" ...that means that your prl was written to the phone...

DO NOT PM ME asking for QXDM 2.08 or anything else...find everything on your own...you must use that version because the commanRAB are obsolete in the newer versions...
