Hello im making this thread because i only flashed my first phone not even a month ago (LG Dare) and it was a pretty hard phone for me since im used to GSM phone hacking....

But all in all im making this since the VX9900 tutorial is kinda hard to understand since it has so much detail and it randomly jumps to different areas...

I give credit to berry_lthird for his guide since without it i would have never gotten my wap to work...

Also a reminder im making this simple and straight out forward so dare users can complete the flash in less then 10 mins... I will show steps and pictures all you dare users will only have to copy my settings shown on the pictures
and edit the few things i mentioned...
And in my tutorial i will NOT be editing the wap by phone menu so their should not be any boot loops

Tutorial is beginner friendly...

Things you will NEED:
LGNPST Store
LGNPST Lab Upgrade (Makes this so much easier)
LGNPST VX9700 DLL (So lgnpst can recognize the phone)
Cricket PRL (use mine or whatever you choose)
LG Meid Changer (Only needed for full flash recovery)

Remember this is on a virgin verizon phone....

1st Step
Install lgnpst store....
After done install lgnpst lab should be a quick 1 sec install...
Then Install the lgnpst vx9700 dll i included....
The LG Dare drivers are needed if you diddnt know already...
Now that you have done all that start up lgnpst and it should say
Code: 
Lab Level PST
LGNPST v1.1
Now connect your phone if you havent already and it should say 1 port
connected and it should show your vx9700 loaded on whatever com port
so now press the button that says phone settings and nv edit should pop
up... Now their should be a button that says read click it... Now after you
have done that follow the rest of the steps TILL I SAY CLICK WRITE DONT
DO IT TILL I SAY TO DO IT

2nd Step - Cricket Settings

You can copy each setting shown in the pics setting by setting... It should work for all cricket areas all really needed to be edited or added are the min/mdn parts that i will tell you to add... So make sure all settings match mine....

WAP
Your username is your min number (8325555555) if you dont know your min
number look at the main window of lgnpst....
Warning Do not add ANYTHING ELSE but your min number not even
the @mycricket.com that is what causes the dare to bootloop

SMS
The important setting is the MO-SMS SO setting and the message size...
Step04.JPG


MMS
Step05.JPG


MIP Profile
For the mip nai & dun mip nai you need to use [email protected]
Step06.JPG


DATA
SIP NAI, DUN SIP NAI, AN NAI(A12) all should be [email protected]
Also the sip password and an password (not the hex one) both
should be cricket but for some reason mine doesnt stay but still
works!!
remember to copy all my settings EXACT....

BREW
(i blanked out the subscriber id for tutorial dont do that to yours)

Step08.JPG


Now click the write button

3rd Step Cricket PRL
The phone should have restarted now once fully restarted you exit out of
the nv edit and it should say "edit complete click to continue" from their
where it says provision (the big tab) Press prl/eri and load the prl and press
start (you can also load a custom eri or verizons default eri if you like to have
the option to use the eri banner which shows your carrier on screen)

Extra Info

How do i get the latest prl for my area?
Once your fully connected to cricket with the prl i provided (or of your own)
You need to dial *228 to program and download the latest prl of your market.

If i mess up and reflash it how do i fix the bluetooth address not set?
I have no idea im still trying to fix it and figure it out my self maybe theirs
a file to edit who knows im not a cdma phone master here...

How do i get free brew?
Well all i can say is google... Theirs one hack already in public that writes
certain files to run unsigned brew apps.. Problem is we need brew apps so
we can make test sigs for them and mod files...
(By no means am i saying to do it just saying :2thumbs: )

What is that lg meid changer for?
It depends on what you use it for... But for this some people mess up and
cause a boot loop which makes the phone keep restarting... From which a
reflash is needed and 100% of the time your eri/meid/bluetooth address get
erased and this app is needed for a simple meid fix...
 
its the same as linking downloads from rapidshare and the rest of file hosts...
No harm can come to HoFo if the files isnt on their server they can only request the host to remove them... Which wont happen ;)....

either way i cant edit my post... i read the rules and it says linking directly to lg stuff and all that but its not linked directly... its linked to a list of *software* not just one thing
 
Well your close but let me help you out a little.. Test sigs are for the phone and are based on the phones ESN number.. You do not make a test sig for apps you make it for the phone. Mod files are the actual program files so you want be making them unless your writing your own programs. The Mif files are INFO files about the MOD file and the Bar files are resource files..... If you use your search tools you'll find that loading custom apps can be done with the Dare :)

Best Regards
 
:D i got it all mixed up i just barely got my dare not long ago and started hacking it a bit to the most that i can... But yes thats what it is... haha i read your post when i got the dare.. Problem is i cant get ahold of a test sig generator or any brew apps since i am not a brew developer
 
I'm not sure if i was supposed to add this but it worked for me........
Well i followed your whole tutorial and i kept getting settings reverted back to old verizon number. So i went to system NAM1 and changed my mdn # and 7 digit MIN number and i was up and running. Im probably a noob for writing this but for all the other noobs like myself here is a way to fix if your having the same problem.

Thank you for your tutorial it was very easy to follow and it really took me about 4 minutes to do it all beside figuring out i had to change nam!!!!
 
Some markets use the min and some use the mdn its kinda funny but for my market we use the min and with the dare you cant put a @mycricket.com or else youll get the bootloop...

and to the user above it all depends on the firmware...If you have a older firmware it usually reverts bak and have to do it on the phone its self ive tried to figure out why and cant
 
Also note that some dares start rebooting after puttong [email protected] and for those people they have been able to use cricketwap as the username which stoped the rebooting and fixed wap issues. I personal have never had this issue with a dare but there has been a few on hofo that have seem to had this happen to them.

Best regards
 
THANK YOU.
I brought my phone fully flashed from an Authorized dealer. In the beginning my sms didn't work. I read somewhere that you should send a pic to yourself and I did after that I had sms and no internet. I have been paying for it and not being able to use it on my phone. I went back to the store and they want me to pay to have it flashed again. And because of my interest in electronics I am determined to do it myself.
 
Yes because when you are on cricket you cannot use the verizon media player so it doesnt load the video.



If you did whats on my post then all you have to do is call cricket customer service and have them refresh your account until its working (if you have internet on your account)
 
Just to post a followup about the youtube videos. I flashed my Dare but didn't flash for BREW since I wanted to keep the media player functional. When I click on a youtube video it jumps to the media player, but the player just loads until it times out. Is this normal or should I be able to view youtube since I left the media player functional?
