This is my first post here and I'm not completely sure anyone can help but I thought I'd throw it out there and see.....here goes
I have an LG Rumor that was fully flashed to cricket from sprint. I purchased it from a store that buys/sells/flashes phones. I got it activated on my cricket account and everything worked great for 2 days.....talk/text/pix/web. then all of a sudden out of nowhere I tried to make a phone call and kept getting a "welcome to verizon, this call can be completed with a credit card or collect" message......I get no texts, or anything. Called cricket support, they knew nothing, told me to take it in and have it reprogrammed manually as *228 won't dial for some reason. Well, I started messing with the system settings and under network switched from automatic a to automatic b, nam from 1 to 2, back and forth in any corabination and all of a sudden it started working again. all the texts I hadn't received all day started pouring in. tested, and everything worked again except web. it just said dial *611 for this service. so the next day I took it in to the cricket store and had them reprogram as suggested, they did and the only thing that did was change the web error to "error cannot resolve hostname" I still haven't figured out how to fix that, but my main concern is this: all was well (except web) for a week, then out of nowhere again today the verizon message happened again.....messed with settings and poof, everything comes back. just happened again. and again, I messed with the network settings and my phone works again. Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone have the slightest clue as to why this is happening? Sorry this post is so long but I don't know how to explain it any shorter. Thank you in advance for any input anyone might have.
 
Your messing with the NAM settings (wrong NAM), and or your PRL was replaced. It really sounRAB like your accidentally fiddling with the wrong settings. Have it reflashed properly or do it yourself
 
Here is my biggest thing, I CAN BET you keep changing it from NAM1 to NAM2
Nam1 = Cricket
Nam2 = Verizon

Take it to an expert before you loose all functionality and get even more pissed off.
 
thanks for the replies but let me clarify. My messing with the nam settings had nothing to do with my phone messing up, I only messed with settings AFTER my phone messed up and cricket customer service couldn't help me. for some reason when I mess with the settings AFTER it messes up on its own my phone starts working again. So basically I'm looking for what could have caused the problem in the first place. I bought it, had it activated and walked out with everything working for 2 days straight, then it messed up out of nowhere. I didn't touch any settings and didn't even have all my phone book entries put in yet.
 
no, I entered them in by hand. all I have done to it is take a couple pics, enter my phone book in, and sent a few ringtones and pics from my razr to this one via bluetooth.
 
At any point did you successfully dial *228? if so it may have changed particular settings or PRL because its not a native cricket phone, these settings sometimes do not work with CRICKET, just reflash the phone
 
no, *228 won't dial, even when I first got it activated they had to manually program it at the cricket store. I bought it already flashed so maybe it was something they did. I'll reflash, I just have to wait for the software I ordered. Thank you.
 
I had already ordered the software before I came across the download link that you posted, although it would have been great. I have a couple frienRAB who want their phones flashed too so I figured I'd just get everything at once. I flashed my razr using the guides on this forum last year, so I know I'll be coming back here if I need any help, you guys are great!
 
I just wanted to say Thank you for your help, after a lot of searching this message board I was able to get into my phone settings with menu 0 and set my wap settings, now everything works on my phone. Funny thing is, I was looking thru all the things on my phone and under the phone info and my nuraber, right above my phone nuraber it says "amoamare" so obviously the person who flashed my phone used your software. Thank you again!!
 
Yes they did. My name is hidden within the software in a few places this is so that i can determine who is using it. 95% of the LG rumors that are fully flashed are using my firmware :D i feel so special haha
 
and you know what sucks amoamare, that people can just go ahead and change that taking your work.. I've only done two SCR packages but never to the extent of making custom images (too lazy). good work man, and im glad to see you on the other community CF (i'm supernine over there)
 
where can someone even learn to write scr files? ive been trying with no locuk for a while on some of the older lg's i have. i like to purchase software whenever its avalable (as i did with rumor and other solutions) but have a hard time finding software to creat .scr files
 
I used the Amoamare software for myself.
Worked great BUT now that i sold the phone the buyer says they can't send texts.
They can send, not receive(?).
WTF?
I never had this problem. I re-flashed for practice sake, exactly as I did the first time (everything worked fine for me).
And yes, I'm using the latest CDMA workshop.

Is there something in menu 0??

Could there be a problem with cricKet? (I know, don't get me started...) :D

I never had this prob before...lol
:befuddled
:doh:
