Changing SPC on xv6700
- Thread starter Troy W
- Start date
Are you guys sure? I've been told the reason it fails so much is because the code isn't 333333 which cricket uses for their "entry level" programming...
also, I'd like to lock verizon out of my phone... I went to vegas yesterday, and my travel time wasn't working... FOolishly, I *228'd my phone, and had to reprogram it when I got home today. I'd like to prevent myself from making that mistake again.. not that it was a big problem, but it's still an irritant.

Mine absolutely will not OTA with *228. I always have to use *22804, and that only works 25% of the time (meaning I have to retry 3-4 times to make it work)... I can't remeraber who told me, but someone said it was likely because the SPC was invalid, and when the OTA system tried to update, it input 333333 and got rejected.

Heres how it works
when you dial *228
It connects to one of crickets receivers on a tower.
When the server requests the esn from the phone the phone senRAB
out the esn
Automaticaly the server checks the esn and verifies your esn and account information once verified the server then senRAB out a Defaulted 000000 MSL
One of two things happens here.
1. The phone accepts the default 000000 and then the PRL download and MIN and MDN download is sent OTA.
or
2. The phone rejects it.
If the phone reports incorrect MSL the server then generates an MSL based on a algarithim from the ESN. If that MSL is rejected by the phone. The Server then senRAB 333333 as the OTSL ( One Time Service Lock) to the phone if the phone.
I dont know if they have changed it but it used to be if your MSL is set as 333333 cricket will not send the PRL only the MDN and MIN would be sent to the phone because Defaulted by Cricket 333333 is a ONE TIME LOCK that is only used to PROGRAM the MIN and MDN.
Setting the MSL to 000000 means the phone is unlocked.
Your problem with the PRL not downloading is because of the Salt Lake Market Right now.
Cricket is in the middle of a huge change. Its not only your phone that has problems with OTA its even standard cricket phones.
When i activate cricket phones here in Orem a lot of the times i have to manually program the phone.
I do a lot of work with cricket. I cover all of utah countys unlocks and reprograms for all carriers.
I can tell you that Cricket is in for big changes in the utah market we are one of the few markets that are for TESTING....

hint.Cool.. Thanks for that info. It's good to know the details of how the MSL works relating to OTASP.
My phone has actually started working with OTASP, but never *228... I always have to use 22804.
Either way, I'm not worried about it now.. Everything is set up and working right, and I know how to make OTASP work.
I hope these changes you mention are coming soon... I'd love me some evdo unrestricted internet access. Right now I can't do a lot of the things I need, even with the google workaround.
