I was following the other previous thread but it seems that people from that thread are here now so I will post this here.
I was using ws 2.7 following all the steps from gijoey1980's original how to and not getting 3g. I did not use qpst so I am not sure on that. In the end it took writing the password on the evdo tab (to cricket of course) of ws 3.5 and 3g worked.
I want to say thank you to all the people that helped figure this out, you guys are awesome!
Extra thanks to:
gijoey1980, for the original how to.
whiterabbitorg, for the nv items script, hosting u2nl and autostart.sh, and putting up with my stupidity.
kbman and others, for answering my posts and putting up with my stupidity.
I have been using this phone for more than a week now and if you are still working on getting yours going, trust me it is worth it. This phone on cricket is amazing. I finally feel good again about having a cell phone.
Seriously THANK YOU! to all that have been involved in this you guys really are awesome. If I can help in anyway possible please let me know.
Lastly, to those of you that worked out the original solution, I read all of those 50+ pages and watched you guys solve this on your own. I am not sure what the accusations about stealing solutions or whatever it was, was about. I know I saw you guys solve this on your own, as a team and **** you to whomever accused you guys of otherwise. It is really sad to see people that are willing to publish this kind of stuff for free to the public (having done all the work themselves) get bullied about stealing work. I hope you guys continue on anyway and at least know that your work has benefited not only myself but a lot of other people as well.
