What you will need

A Cricket Non-Roaming Non-Evdo Prl (the 1040 is such a prl)
CDMA WS 2.7 or higher
An old A** Sprint Samsung(the ones that only hook up as a Modem no serial port)
A hope and a prayer if the fone doesnt connect



First Connect the phone, let it install the drivers
Then open up device manager
Look under modems for Samsung CDMA Modem

Double click it and then when the property window pops up click on the modem tab

Click Read, then select NVM\NVM\NVM_0002, (if that file does exist select one by one till it reaRAB the SPC as shown)

Give a sec, then a window will pop up the SPC will be the last 6-digit nuraber

Write it down and then put the SPC in the box
Then Click SPC and Send
tut13.png

Should now say "SPC Correct Phone unlocked"

U can choose to Write and change the SPC too all zeros but for me it never works so its posted on the back on a sticker

And that is even after it says successful SPC change

Next go to the Other tab

Select Write under prl

Select a Non-Evdo Non-Roaming PRL for ur area and open it

After success on writing the prl then exit CDMA WS and it will ask u to mode reset hit yes

Disconnect phone and u r done
 
wow thanks man didn't know about the qcdm step
I would usually read the phone with spst and then connect to the same port as spst would show

This is much faster thanks !


Do you know if this will also work for the old sanyos that dont show a diag port ??
 
It might u would have to try it to see i dont have ne old sanyos to try it on so i cant test it but i do kno u can get just about ne fone into dm mode if u press that first
 
soem old sanyos require serial connectivity

but a lot of the old ones that do allow usb connectivity won't connect unless you dial "####End"

try that next time

or, you can get a usb-to-seraial cable for the others if your pc doesn't have a serial port
