When I first tried cdma workshop to set spc, I connected with com port 3. But I didnt have sim card yet, and now I cant connect on any port this time.
I cant find anything on searches as to why I cant connect like I did the first time. I've been doing the research but run into a wall on this.
Can you help?
Been without a phone now for 2 weeks (dropped old phone in the swimming pool, chose Rezound, ebay... shipping wait... ebay for sim... wait... etc.)
My goal is to follow another thread to get the page plus prl and basically run this phone on page plus 3g.
Its been 2+ years since I had to do all this, and I'm quite rusty. I'm excited about this great upgrade from that tired old Eris

Hey all, this is the first post. It's 1am here, and i've been trying to unlock this thing with all the software i've found here, and i can't do it.
i got an 8525 from cingular, trying to use it in t-mobile networks, no luck.
everytime i go to try out the new sim card, it says its lock. now, it says 10 times tried, wait for timeout.
i don't know what the hell to do now.
please give me some walk throughs, cuz im really stumped. thanks!

update
i've been pushin hard to get this thing functional, and i finally got it. it was tricky to get the system to push through the software with vista, but i followed a few directions (listed below) to help along the process.
if anyone has windows vista, i would highly advise you to try this method. it worked for me first time up.

using this software:

(be sure to click on the lower link in the first post)
first get your system compatible with the gear (let windows detect all the stuff), install windows mobile device center.
reboot
next install the new drivers for the htc usb sync.
reboot
finally, extract and run the unlocking software.
watch your phone for the program. it takes a few minutes, so just be patient. i think if i would've found the vista methods prior to starting this, i would have been finished by now. oh well. good luck!!
edit: nm you got it
Same problem...
I had the same problem however I was just waiting to receive that damn subsidy unlock code from AT&T. Their retrieval process is very slow and painful, but unlocked my 8525 no problem. My question for you is did you notice a difference in call volume between carriers?? I am trying to determine if this was the fault of flashing my ROM to a custom one, or if that's just how t-mobile sounds...

Unlocked
Call volume
I never had AT&T, so i couldn't tell you honestly. One thing I am noticing is that the dropped calls are not as frequent since I upgraded from a samsung.
The trickiest part of modding this WM6 phones, is that you gotta have the comm stuff current with T-Mobile.
I haven't been able to get my MMS working. Now i just messed up my networking stuff. I have some cab files for the T-Mobile devices, but i don't know how to install them. I am working on it.
As far as volume though (back to the subject, dumbo)... It seems clearer somewhat.
sim unlock
hey did you get any helpful advise on how to unlock the sim on your 8525 b cuz im having the same problem except it says 5 times tried(HELP)

Sim unlock
Did you get any helpful info on the sim lock for your 8525 smartphone bcuz im having same problem except mine says tried 5 times please help if you know how
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...
i hope someone can help.... just got my bolt back together, activated it at verizon and now all i have is 1x... decided to use revolutionary to try and gain s-off to try a different radio... lo and behold the device will charge via usb, but not connect to the computer. so i pulled it apart again and inspected the board... perfect. no signs of damage, no water, nothing.....
back together it went, this time my board in my wifes housing (just in case the antennae were goofed... ya never know) hers has full 4g... mine... 1x...
so... rebooted into bootloader (forgot you had to have s-off to flash radio files, moving on from that) and selected hboot usb... and whaddya know... my computer recognizes it.. for a split second, calls it an unknown device and says noway to drivers (i have hboot drivers and such, have used it to root 3 or four bolts so far...)
now, i'm at a loss. customer support claims to have done everything in their power, my sim is correct, and is reporting my correct imei to verizon...
my thought is that it is software related, seeing as how it will recognize usb in bootloader mode, but nowhere else... and that the radio file is preventing it from getting proper signal.
also, her sim gets 1x only in my phone, and mine gets 4g in hers. and i am on old skool software 1.12.605.6... but the upgrade is forcing me to use 1x... and i would love to have it in this century...
please please please halp. i have exactly three internets to award to the solver of this puzzle... GOGOGOGO!!!!
got the software update to take last night through wifi finally... but still no bueno.
guess its back to bugging customer support....
I have a rooted HTC Eris Driod that was perviously on the verizon network but is currently not in service.... so far I have been using it around the house to serf the web with my wifi.
I am running GB 2.3 I would like to flash this phone to Metro PCS and start using it again... would this be possible if I currently dont have a plan?
not too sure if the old phone number assigned to it is even valid or if someone else is using it since i turned off service years ago?
Any recomendations or what are my options?
Thanks...
Droid Newbie.
You didn't clarify do you want to have service with MPCS?
I had mine done 2 weeks ago, so far so good. It was from vzw, cm7 2.8.3. i don't see why yours cannot be done. as for the number, it's proly back in circulation/pool and in use. i would call it first. otherwise you can get a new number at the mpcs store.
Note that they officially flash talk and text only. Some dudes do full flash for some extra $$, just ask. I ported my number from Tmobile and I am the 25$ plan (promo ended last december). I have been reading around to find how i can enable the web/data.
So far i have not found a link to get this done. so at the moment i can only use wifi.
If anybody can would you point us to some helpful links. Thanks. I hope that helps.
Does anybody know how to activate HTC Rezound with PagePlus ? Do you have to flash to phone or just program it differently and How do you get 3G to work? I heard if you flash it, you only get 2G data???
Been hunting for that info for a few weeks and so far...
Nothing much to report. At least, nothing I can clearly do without filling in a bunch of holes in the process. Here are a few links that get kinda close to what we are looking for:

right now Im stuck unable to get phone recognized by qpst nor cdma workshop. I think its a bad set of drivers or something. I learned that we have to install HTC sync, then uninstall it and it should leave the necessary drivers available for use, but ive tried that process several times and can never get the phone seen by qpst. you also should be able to see phone drivers in windows device manager under ports, i think, and I cant seem to get that to show either. If I get any help Ill try to post it here. But after 3 weeks or so with the phone Im about nuts trying to learn from scraps here and there. I put out a craigslist ad looking for someone to do it for me... I hate the old windows mobile samsung I activated on my page plus account while I sort this Rezound out.
I love the pricing I get with PP with my droids: wife and I do $27.xx each for 1200 minutes, 3000 txts, 100 mb of data for a month. We use our wifi at home for most downloads and do just fine on our limited data. If we need to use heavy data some month, we can just re-up next month a few days early, OR just add a $10 card or so to add the occasional data bump. Its a sweet deal for us. If only I can get the Rezound off and running...
Good luck to both of us!
