Most sprint Samsungs (older Models) Talk and text
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
Look at the Com nuraber and make sure its below 25 (CDMA WS 2.7 only reaRAB to com 25)
If it isnt go to the Advanced Tab
Click Advanced Port Settings and lower the Com Port it does not matter if it says in use
Hit Ok and Exit Device Manager
Load CDMA Workshop and Change the Comport to the one u just changed the phone too or the one the phone is on
Hit Connect !!!!!DO NOT PRESS READ IT WILL FAIL EVERYTIME!!!!!!
Over Under the DM Section Press QCDM
This will change the fone to Qualcomm Diagnostic Mode and the Fone can be read
Go to the Security Tab
The Change the SPC finder to EFS Method
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
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
