I just bought an Sprint Htc mogul off of ebay. It was a good $30 bucks cheaper than a Verizon Mogul. WORST regret of my life. I thought I could just buy it, unlock it (which I did), and write the ESN (I have been spending hours on end trying to do this). I REALLY need help changing the esn to another phone, because Im going on vacation in about a week, and I dont have time to purchase another phone off of Ebay. My goal is to get this phone working on the Verizon Network. I have tried using CDMA workshop to change the esn, no luck, even after entering the correct SPC. I have tried to use CDMA workshop on another computer to and it still doesnt work. Other things ive tried to do: use QXDM to try to change the esn in the NV browser but it wont let me because its read only, I have tried to use EFS explorer to also get into the NVM folder and change the ESN, AND i've probabley tried to do something else I cant remember. PLEASE help if you can ,I need this working by next week. I know esn changing is usually illegal, but not in this case as I own the smartphone I want to clone, and I do not plan to do anything bad with this. Thank You

NVM, got it working. Previously cdma workshop gave me an annoying Failed To change Esn error. But I supercid'ed it using mtty and WINDOWS XP - NOT vista, and after that using cdmaworkshop I succesfully changed the esn.
Move to general as not rom development
bought cdma workshop nov. 2011, free upgrade until nov. 2012. interested in transfering the license to you please leave a private message

Hello,
I currently have a Sprint Mogul that is working great. I love the phone (especially with the new radio features). I may have the opportunity to switch wireless carriers soon, as my contract will run out in the next few months.
I would like to switch to Alltel as they have better coverage in my state. What do I need to do to get my Mogul/Titan to work on Alltel's network? I presume they probably have to register the device's ESN on their network and change some other network related settings on the phone. Has anyone gotten a carrier to do this? Can it be done? Has anyone made a switch like this and kept the same device?
I'm just not thrilled about re-buying my phone again.
Thanks for your stories and input.
I never experienced this nor heard of it, but I think it's possible. All you would need is to flash on Alltel's ROM and update using Alltel's PRL just so you can get a lock on Alltel's towers. With this accomplished, I think you can try calling them up and have them program your phone like you would with any other carrier.
Note, this is all just making educational guesses on my part and not guaranteed to work.
Tried it with qwest... big problems
I'm not sure how sprint will work it for you but when I tried to switch from qwest to sprint with mine.. it never happened.. though sprint did say that qwest HAD to release the ENS qwest refused to, and I walked all the way up the chain of support/manager/supervisor/legal dept... they said they own the ESN.. you might have better luck with sprint but.. I would check to make sure it is going to work before you terminate service with them..
Best of luck.
Just a thought I read somewhere just the other day that you could change the esn of the 6800/mogul. So if you went to new carrier and said give me a new esn (not even sure if they can) that works on your service and then changed your current ESN (removed the sprint) and placed the new ESN then it should work?
I would think that is legal.. you are using a ESN that your new carrier knows about because they gave it to you. Not sure.
Verizon has activated alltel phones on their network before by reflashing the software/writing their PRL to the phone. I have first hand experience with this. I would assume it is possible but just a matter of if they are willing to do it.
Of course it is possible
I have used Alltel phones on VZW and VZW phones on Alltel with only telling them the ESN. I am on Alltel now and want to take my 6800 to Sprint. Sprint sales says I can, but no one knows what steps I'll have to take. Want to just trade phones?
I recently purchased a used Sprint Mogul on eBay... the seller didn't write much about the phone other than it works and it's missing the charger... i had a charger for PPC's from my Excalibur so it was no big deal...
I got the phone, it turns on and functions, and the ESN is clean!! (YAY! ) Also, it's already been flashed to Windows Mobile 6.1 (YAY!!! )
I called Sprint to have the ESN swap done and a number port from T-Mobile to Sprint... they initiated the ESN Swap and the number port at the same time. The port actually took place almost immediately. My T-Mobile "Dash"'s SIM card no longer registers on their network.
The problem is that the member care person told me to put in a code ( ##443235# ) and then select "Edit" and then "Ok" ... and from what I've read, the LAST pound isn't supposed to show up, it's supposed to redirect to a menu screen with 3 choices. This doesn't occur!! it types it in like a phone number!!
Now I have 2 phones, and neither one works. Somebody PLEASE help me, I know I can't possibly be the only person on the internet having this issue, but it sure seems like it because Google is vast and "#" isn't a search engine-friendly character
HELP!!
nevermind, i found the "EPST" file in the windows directory... can somebody explain to me what "EPST" is, and what ##778# does exactly on the Sprint network??
I have an HTC touch 6900 (sprint) that is not active and with a clean (good) esn and i recently open a metropcs account and have the metro phone active and working . what i wanna do is change my touch and get it to work with metro, with the account that i have open, I already unlock the phone (i think) using vogueeunlockermfg2,31, i got my code with getspc and made some changes in the epst, at this point i was able to dial 611 and get metro, but nothing else, so i decided to change my esn for the metros phone that i have (instead of esn is meid (h) but everything went to hell at that point, lost epst, lost service and nothing would work, so i ended up putting the original rom from htc and the original esn, so im back on sprint, any ideas on how to do this right this time?, any suggestion will be appreciated
thanks
metropcs xv6900 flash firmware
did any ever post anything to resolve this problem?
I have a qwest ppc6800 that i put the alltel software on. Im trying to do the esn change, which is now available online so i can do that, but then when it says to dial *228 it will say programming, but it will not do the programming, it just says "the number or code you dialed is incorrect" or something like that. It wont let me dial any numbers, just gives me that message even for any codes. Any idea what the deal with that is?
change spc to 000000 using qpst or cdmaworkshop
Ok i searched and cant figure this out. I found the cdma workshop and downloaded it. I tried getspc but just read that it dont work on the qwest branded phones. So, sounds like i have to do what you said. But i cant figure it out, i cant connect my phone to that program. Can i get some more info on how to do this?
Anyone? I really want to try this phone out and see if i can get it hooked up to my number. I just need to be able to do the OTA programming. I just cant figure out how to get the unlock code and change that.
I found something called pocket putty, no idea how to set that up or anything. Im clueless right now, but i got the programs so if anyone can help me.
So no on that is on knows how to do this?? Ive searched and searched and its pissing me off. Ive also now tried BAFMSL or whatever it is. It went on my phone, says its installing but it dont show up in the programs menu so i dono..............
How do i get that bafmsl thing working??? I put the .net it said i needed and it installed successfully. It brings up a little list like its installing the bafmsl but the ****ing thing wont show up in the programs so i dont know what to do.......................................
You will need CDMA Workshop 2.7 cracked to do what you want. Google it.
You need the SPC . If you don't know the SPC then unless it can be read with cdmaworkshop without having to know it already, my suggestion is to flash it to sprint which will change it to their spc for your esn, then run getSPC on the phone and enter the phones esn to get the correct spc. then goto cdmaworkshop, enter that spc and then change it to 000000
Flash the Alltel flash then. which will get rid of the sprint crap. then you can do the *228 (Be sure to put a Alltel PRL in it if you do not use the actual alltel loader (if you unlocked your phone with olipro then you would need to relock or use the sdcard flash method, i recomend the sdcard method) you can used cdmaworkshop to put the prl in it.)
if after all that you cannot get it to *228 (it should state alltel wireless when you call it) then start dialing *22801, *22802, *22803,*22804, *22805 until you hear alltel. you will find other carriers in your area this way, just hang up until you find alltel. some will not dial.
Good Luck. I'm sure theres a easier way, but those will get you there.
I downloaded some stuff form a torrent, its cdma tools. It has cdma workshop and cdma workshop cracked, but the cracked one does not work. It says you cannot run this without a password or sometihng, but the regular one starts up fine.
There are multiple things ive read that read the spc, but none of them are working. The one method i read doenst work on this particular branded phone. And the others will not work for me. There is a bafmsl grabber or something like that, put it on my phone and try to install it, but it doesnt show up in the programs menu. Thats supposed to give me the unlock code, i think.
I have no idea how i unlocked and switched the phone, i did it a while ago. I had help on here tho so maybe its in my other thread about how i did it, cuz i dont remember at all.
Will the spring software make it so i can use getSPC? This phone is branded QWEST and i read that getspc dont work on the qwest branded phones. Which must be why it wouldnt work for me.
I kinda doubt installing the sprint software will change the spc but you might be lucky. Try this method if this doesn't work you may be out of luck.
:crying: okay so heres my issue. I have cricket and sprint. I bought a few used sprint moguls off ebay with bad esn's for the purpose to flash them to cricket. So the flash went perfect thanks to ryan mogul and his threads. So i go to have the phone added to my cricket account and they tell me i cant add this phone becuase its not in the market. Then verizon tells me i cant activate on there becuase its not a vzw inventory. I cant take this phone to sprint due to someones lack of brains to take the phone off there acct. Any ideas on what to do. I have read many articles on fixing my problem but nothing works
I also am trying to access the nvm folder and its locked. I cant edit nothing from the folder anyone know any ways around this.
