First off, sorry for posting here, I am not sure where to post since there is no Optimus S thread. I am a third day Droid convert, and I have successfully rooted my phone and bypassed the Sprint ID (phone is not currently activated) I do have WiFi in my home, etc etc. I have been trying to use the various info I have found on Flashing my phone to work completely with cricket (especially since NONE of the local cricket dealers can flash it without bricking the MMS). Unfortunately, all of these guys are speaking greek to me. I have downloaded and installed QPST v2.7 build 3.0, and I have managed to set my SPC to 000000 using the CDMA workshop. Now, I have NO idea which PSL's to use for non-roaming, and no idea where to get them, and most importantly, I am completely lost on what I am supposed to be doing beyond this point. Can anyone help or redirect me to a more thorough walk through that does not assume I have any skill at programming droids?
Thanks in advance.
Here are the links I have been studying.
(Error420, not the guy selling his fix)
What are the MSID/MIN, Where do I find/install a cricket CAB or ROM and what is god's name is a PST/EPST?
Are all of these supposed to work on my LG Optimus S also?

Okay
I bought the htc touch pro sprint version off a good deal. I used the elite team unlocker and I tossed the vzw leaked rom on the touch pro. Installation of the leaked rom went fairly well, and I thought I was ready to get this device connected via vzw network. I called vzw 3 times, went to 3 different stores, all have the same answer.
They cannot add the esn to their database. So my question is - what's the workaround regarding that policy? Do I have a very expensive alarm on my hands or is there something that can be done?
btw I haven't unlocked the msl code and I put the sprint rom (stock rom) back on the device to start fresh. Bear in mind I tried Getspc and I found that didn't work too well. I also tried QPST on vista and windows xp and the same popup on both machines came up (installing new drivers, please select driver location) to try and change the msl.
Any other thoughts or a good direction of where to go? I tried going to mobile files and I got an okay understanding of it, but an issue is well...I'm not sure of what to do.
I know there was a thread in the diamond forum to change the esn and I think that would be a good idea, what are your thoughts on it? Is it a good idea? Did I just open up pandora's box?
Try this
Go to forum.ppcgeeks.com
I believe I read something similar to this on that site. Don't know about the solution, but they are more advanced in dealing with the CDMA Pro, as they appear to have had it longer.
Sorry I couldnt help more. So Much for the Open Network Verizon promised.
Carriers sometimes are just a BIG Joke.
yeah I was reading two topics started by one guy...seems he went through the same drama that i went through
so I'm thinking from the discussion the only way would be to send the phone to verizon and I don't want to do that honestly
Dont
Don't Do it, and Verizon would rather you bu their own touch Pro when it gets released
Unless you can edit/spoof a Verizon ESN I don't think it's possible currently. If you do manage to find a way to do that, you need to be careful as it's probably illegal (as the ESN could belong to someone else -- and I'm sure there's laws in place to "protect you") -- Guessing at least, IANAL
Yes, technically it is illegal to change the ESN of a phone, however, I know that there was a way to change it (at least for the Mogul).
its been done

trying it now and so far my results are exactly as advertised huzzah!
So what's the verdict? Success or Fail?

its my understanding that at this time vzn has suspended adding ESN's to there DMD. check the PPCgeeks post above your post and check to make sure though.
Yeah, I see they have some Sprint Touch Pro's on e-bay and I was thinking about getting one for my verizon account because they are cheaper and also I heard they have more processor memory or something. So does that no longer work, or can someone point me to a thread on this?
if you go to PPC geeks you can fint the post in the TP section.
I have a sprint touch pro on vzw network working perfectly using the above method a wile back, however 2 days ago i lost internet, and decided to activate an old phone and reactivate the touch pro to reset the internet settings on verizons network, when reactivating the sprint touch pro i was told the esn was invalad du to the fact that it was not 911 compadable,.. wich we allknow it is, but i believe verizon has just set their network to generate that error when a sprint esn is trying to be added, as of right now there is a truble ticken in with verizons it department but, im not very hopefull, i think my next step would be to clone an esn of a verizon phone i am not using, can anyone help me with that?
if it was anything close to what I had to do to get it on alltel, if you can get them to add the esn you may have to manually program it then add a prl then try *228 it....you do best to call vzw CS and tell them its theirs if they ask...
Hello and thanks for reading. I have a LG Optimus S running on Boost, I couldnt find the proper forum so I figured the Optimus V would be as close as I could get. I bricked mine, and got it back going flashing a new rom to it, but my IMEI / ESN and pretty much everything else is wiped / zero'd. I have all my info fixed but the IMEI and ESN now. I have it written down, but I cant find where in the memory it is to fix it. I have been using CDMA WS, but I just cant find the memory addresses for them, any help would be greatly appreciated.
So, question is: Where can I find my IMEI and ESN in the memory of my LG Optimus S (LS 670)?
optimus-s
could you tell me how to even get the optimus-s to change to boost?
I switched my sprint plan up with an evo and want to give the optimus-s to someone on boost , both of our accounts are good and my evo my optimus-s and their boost seek all are paid for and in good standing all three esn #'s are clean no stealing done.
This is where I am at with my setup:
Optimus's
rooted with clockwork
wiped and installed new rom
running reborn 2.2.4
obtained spc# and metro psc#
I updated the mdn and msid
and thats as far as I can find on the internet
sent u private message
Hi, I dropped my OV and it is randomly restarting or just shutting off itself so i took out my old optimus S and flashed it to use with virgin mobile. Texting and calling is working on the optimus s on virgin mobile, but I can't get internet/mms working with VM on the optimus s. It keeps popping up code 67 can not connect to data. I changed the build.prop to VM instead of sprint, prl is 60667 i believe. Also under about phone > status > network it still shows sprint. Could i flash IHO on the optimus S, would that fix apn settings? Right now im running Ggrom on the optimus s w/ custom kernel
nope.
you're probably not going to get 3g/1x data, or MMS, working, since your s has a different radio setup than the v.
you can't get a flashable v radio (boooo LG and VM) so there's no real way I've read to fix it.
My knowledge base comes from flashing a Sprint firmware (includes the sprint radio.img) on my old OV after there was no other way to unbrick, and lots of research about trying to get the data working again on it before I finally overflashed it (and now it no longer even lights up when plugged in, much less from the power button, no emergency mode, nothing.)
Dead as a doornail.
So VM activated an optimus S ESN on your account?
Interesting. Didn't think they'd do that. LG's online system at least can recognize the phone model just from the ESN, I'm surprised VM would activate that S!
search AndroidCentral for "change mip ppp settings optimus v" for a little more information.
If anyone has more experience with this issue than bigsupersquid, I don't know who it could be. Trust what he says above, he went through months of trying to get that OV working, and posted tons of relevant info about his experiences.
i flashed the ov esn and meid to the optimus s is why i was hoping i could use a OV ROM since the phone thinks its a OV. I have done some reading and people say they have ran the new screen stock ov kernel with an optimus s rom and everything was working. I'll play around with it and let ya know if i figure anything out.

there is also some info in this thread but it's kinda long. look towards the end.
Hi all
I wanted to ask all of you a question and see if you can guide me to the right direction. I have a virgin mobile Optimus V running bumblebee rom with clockwork mod. I wanted to upgrade my phone on virgin mobile to something newer and wanted to convert my LG optimus V to the Sprint Network. Is there a safe way to do this, and if there is is there any instructions on how to get this done the right way.
Also i might be wrong but not sure if the LG optimus s uses a different screen, but just looking for tips and how to tut.
Plus has anyone tried adding this to the sprint network and will i be able to add it once i convert it. do i just provide the SN of the phone or do they need anything else that the V phone don't have.
thanks for all your help
best regards

I doubt sprint will activate a virgin mobile ESN.
Call them and see if they'd be willing to activate your ESN.
You can flash sprint firmware to an OV, but there's no way to go back to the VM firmware, unfortunately. LG only released broken optimus V firmware files that won't flash.
Yes newbies do use the search button. I am also interested in the possibility of adding my Optimus V to a family plan on sprints network. Anyone have any luck?
Hi, Might sound stupid but I was wondering if anyone has any info on whether this phone can be flashed from Verizon to Metro, and if so would anyone be able to tell me how to do this? I've flashed custom ROMs but never from one carrier to another. I understand I will also have to have the ESN added to Metro inventory before the phone can be activated. I was also hoping maybe someone could point me to a reliable (and hopefully cheap) service for doing so since the clostest Metro corporate store is over an hour away.
Thanks in advance for any and all help and info. If this has been posted/answered before, I'm sorry. I Googled and searched here and other large phone forums and found lots of posts for flashing other phones and lots of dead end links.
Also nice would be some info on restoring web and MMS on this phone. Again, Please and Thanks in advance.
