Updated Rom for PPC-6700 How to activate on sprint

Hello All,
Upgrade went perfectly. However I can not activate my phone, sprint wants me to go into programming mode by hitting ##13845# and then hit edit in the phone menu. This option is not available, what do I do to get the phone provisioned. I got into the phone by entering ##788# and it took me to an edit menu. Now it asking me for a passcode? What is it or how do I get it?
Thanks

That passcode is your MSL. Take the battery out of your phone and then write down the HEX ESN.
Install GetSPC(attached below) and then input your HEX ESN with Caps lock on.
And then with the push of a button you will have your MSL. Make sure you write it down so you don't lose it.

how to activate verizon?

Cannot access edit menu
I cannot even get to the edit menu. I am not sure I understand how to get there. When on the phone keypad your entering in ##788# and pressing 'send'? This then brings up a menu for you?
If this these are not the steps, please explain what I should be doing/looking for?
Thanks

i cannot access anything. if i put either of those combinations of numbers in it just tries to dial those numbers when i hit send. i upgraded my phone to wm 6.1 n i cannot get it activated plz help thanks!

##778# then send, is the correct number for verizon. Some phones you must leave off the last # for it to go to the edit screen

I would like to know that too

If you really want it on verizon you could ask an authorized verizon retailer to basically do this same thing for you. they love signing people up this way as they get to pocket the normal phone subsidy ($250 on the evo).

does 3g work?

Well you can pretty much get Verizon coverage from that other thread using Altell's towers. Too bad ping gets raised, but hell... way better signal and speedtests

Congratulations buddy!
Thanks a hell of a lot for giving us this how to guide. I really appreciate it
Just had 3 questions:
1) Are you getting 3g data in Atlanta or is it just Edge?
2) What plan did you sign up for at MetroPCS?
3) If you decide you don't like MetroPCS, how do you reverse this process back to Sprint service?
Thanks again for figuring this out

that probably depends on the tower coverage for the specific geographical location ...
i see the directions mention HTC Hero a few times. has anybody confirmed this works on the EVO?

Lol, I just spent all night trying to figure this out and you have made it very easy. Thanks. The Diag Drivers link doesn't work but I am sure we could find it somewhere else.
I do have one question. Do you still need to have a Metro PCS dealer add the ESN to their network?

Yes the ESN needs to be added to Metro's inventory. I had them add it and wallaahhh!

I see... so for $50/mo (contract free) I can get the the same things that Sprint is offering me for $80/mo. When you minus the extra cost to buy the phone full retail $449 vs $199 on contract you actually saving about $570 over a two year period...
Hard choice

3G unstable
I have tried many configurations and no matter what I do, it seems that the "mobile network" connection is not stable. It will go out periodically and say "connection failed" or "turning on". Can you verify that you are not having this issue?
Also, this obviously does not bypass the WAP proxy which is used by Cricket. This means that other protocols, such as those used in navigation software and YouTube, are going to be blocked by the proxy server. Does anyone know a way around this?

google around for the droid eris cricket tutorial. that has the proper method to set it up, and it works on all other cdma htc android phones.
i believe it is posted on howardfourms under the cricket section.

I myself was wondering if it was the same because I flashed my evo to cricket the same way just off of flashing know how....going to try and see if the Eris method matches what needs to be done to the evo and will report back

Hi Guys I Have bought NTT DoCoMo Fujitsu Arrows X F-02E From Japan and it is a good Phone, It has Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 installed in it, I want to root this device to get rid of some default Application which are in Japanese Language or want to Install any English ROM.

I am using it and no problem at all, If you insert the sim card you won't get the network bars until you enter the APN. To Enter the APN go to setting and Wireless&Networks in "More" Tab you can go Mobile networks then Access Point Names if no apn added the it will be blank,
Press the Option button which is located bottom right corner, press the option button and click on add New APN, Now you have to Enter the correct Info in the APN and save the APN after saving it you have to select the APN then it will work. You can get the APN info from you Mobile Service Provider. I hope it will Solve you Problem.

I'm also from Malaysia and eying at this model or other Fujitsu model, mainly because of the present of IR port on many Fujitsu models. But I won't buy it here for sure. It's not popular here and imagine the cost to own it. Japan or China markets are good way to start. :good:

Just bought this phone here in Japan to swap my SGS III alpha. I am using SoftBank's Black (iPhone) SIM Card after unlocked it. The problem is that I could not connected to the network (Internet) even I already set the APN (using smile.world), I used this setting with my SGS III alpha and had no problems in network. But, this phone seems it is not connected. Found on the Status that Mobile Network: UMTS and Mobile Network State: Disconnected.
I had searched this kind of problem on forums, webs, and chats without having any luck.
Please is there someone have any solution to solve this.
Thanks in advance...

@ari3lz: After factory unlocked this phone at Docomo shop it will noted Sim Unlock below Sim Lock, not the mark (-) as showed on your screenshot. It also needs to put Docomo Sim card into the phone just after unlocked it. It's better to ask the seller if the phone already factory unlock or not. Many sellers on internet (rakuten, Yahoo Auction, Amazon.co.jp) they will say it could be unlocked and assumed that we can unlocked it by ourselves, just like my case I bought it from Yahoo auction and I unlocked to Docomo shop.

Hi,
Please how does one enable internet on this phone?
I have added my network APN and I can use the network but I do not get any internet connection on the network.

Connection to network
I would like to thank hifi.madness for your info on how to connect Fujitsu to our service providers.
The only issue that I have is how to root it or get into Service Menu.
do you have any idea or suggestion?

It is because you have AT&T provider ROM. These bastards remove and disable many stuff. You just dont have your new mobile operator settings on phone. But unlock without these you can this way:
- Please insert an accepted simcard
-Enter the following sequence on dialpad: 2945#*850# or 2945#*855#. <- 850 or 855 is your phone model number
-A hidden menu should appear
- In the network part please input the NCK code provided by our website.
-The phone is unlocked
Now go to Settings -> (More ...) -> Mobile networks -> Access point names
On right top corner click to three dots and click New APN
Insert needed settings for your operator and again click to right top corner to three dots -> Save
Reboot and you online

This phone is from Verizon usa

Galaxy S8+ not prompting for unlock code

I have one galaxy s8 which was claimed to be unlocked b4 buying it,put in my sim and it's writing "invalid sim card,sim card not supported"if i go to settings and search for available networks,it will bring different networks but wont allow me to register on it.if i try to call...it will say "not registered on network"
I made an enquiry and they said if it is locked,it should prompt for an unlock code immediately i put my sim inside.even if i wana unlock again,d phone is not asking for any unlock code neither is it asking for unfreeze code.i also tried secret codes with it and it is not working #7465625*638#.it is a branded at&t phone

You may need to configure the APN for the new carrier manually. Go to settings, connections, mobile network, then APN (Access Point Names), select add and type in new APN settings.
However if that doesn't work, It may be hard locked. Meaning that an invalid sim unlock code was entered too many times. In my past experiences if it doesn't prompt you for the code when you enter a new sim card it is either hard locked or already unlocked and needs the APN settings configured. However after inserting a new sim card the phone would normally configure the APN automatically and only on occasion would I need to modify it to get data/text working properly.

invalid sim card,sim card not supported means it is locked device, i would like to help you to unlock it if you're interested

I'm facing this same issue. When I got the phone I installed an unbranded firmware (XAA/XAA/ATT) and I've since upgrade to Oreo. I can't seem to restore an ATT firmware so I can be prompted to enter the unlock code. Any suggestions?

make sure you using non at&t sim and it must be an active sim card. submit an unlock request to at&t on their website or use an unlock service like attunlocker.us to get your code.

Yes, it's a T-mobile SIM.

Sorry to necro, but does no one have a solution for this? I've seen plenty of threads such as this but very few solutions.

Necro double-post, I'm really asking for it...
First, you have to get an unlock code from the carrier. I had AT&T and it told me my phone was active under an account (previous owner). When you call AT&T and ask for an ulock they loop you to the website and you can't progress there, so you just have to ask for "customer service" twice and then get to the second level support. They can get you an 8 digit code for unlock. But I still never got prompted for the code and neither AT&T (5 calls), Cricket (3 calls), or xFinity (3 calls) could tell me how to get to the unlock screen. The following did it.
My solution was to use the following method, as found on https://www.tenorshare.com/samsung/samsung-unlock-code.html:
Step 1: Open the phone and type #7465625*638*# in the dialer.
Step 2: Then, it will ask for the Samsung Reset Code, it is an 8-digit code.
Step 3: Provide it and you will be done.
