flashing to cricket help

this is the first phone that i've ever tried to flash to cricket. it is an old samsung a900. I've pretty much been reading through these forums now for about a week and defininetly learned a lot. However, i found a video on youtube of someone flashing a very similar samsung. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjNQKhQvO3U I followed his instructions exactly and everything on my end happed exactly as shown in the video. The problem i'm having is that when i dial 611 at the end, i'm not getting a cricket message. I do get a message from Ranger wireless solutions. When i dial *2, i get a message saying that the cricket phone nuraber i dialed is no longer in service.

As far as the prl file, i used 1050 that i got from corolada. actually, i tried every evdo cricket prl listed on corolada, but with 1050 was the only one that allowed me to get any message saying anything about cricket (when i dial *2).

Also, as i'm new, can anyone point me in the directon of a post that would kind of explain exactly what a prl is and how you know which one to use? I tired searching on here and google numerous times but it seems as though all of the results i get are related to specific problems or questions people have about specific prls...but none acually give a brief description as to how to use them and choose the proper one. I even went to wikipedia and they just give a general definition of prl, but no explanation about choosing them. Are they specific to the area in which they are used?? perhaps i'm not using the correct one for Pittsburgh, pa???

Sorry I sound like such a noob, but i definitely am.
 
well first off u need to find the local cricket prl for ur market they should be posted in the sticky. The 1050 is not an official cricket prl it was created by a user all i can say is find the one for ur market and use that one u will have better results happy flashing :2thurabs: :2thurabs:
 
Exactly. Find the local PRL for your market and make sure the SID/NID is correct. There are times when I load up the prl it enRAB up not going to Cricket because those are incorrect. I don't know if those are market specific as well. But here in Lincoln they are 5756/65535
