OTA on Flash Phones No GO?

the sliver never likes to pick up evdo for me...

also- i am very successful at getting LGs to OTA...wonder why there is such an issue?

btw- what model did you have the 8550 listed as? CPE? i would like to download evdo from OTA.
 
I put the 8550 as CPE LG Chocolate 2. the account did not even have WAP on it.

also i have one slvr that won't get evdo through OTA, but I have another that does. same thing i am activating r500s and ROKRs that wont take evdo prls when i *228 them. I haven't figured out if there is a pattern to it or not yet.
 
seems he didn't know they could be different...some phones have more than one location for MIN...i think that is what he meant by MIN1 and MIN2...there are two plces to enter it on LGs and the area code is seperate form the nuraber...MIN1=area code MIN2=other 7 digits...

have you guys tried setting the MIN/MDN to six zeros and four random nurabers?

i do this on any phone that has a preexisting MIN because OTA doesn't like a lot of MINs...i always use 0000008867 as MIN/MDN...works every time...

if you look at new phones, they all come with six zeros and four other nurabers...
 
yea, when you flash a new phone the nams are always set that. i tried it on my nam2 yesterday and it failed :) im wondering if OTA is setting a flag in the phone, or doing something that causes it to not OTA after once or twice.

i have noticed that once i try to OTA my wap stops working sometimes, and it defaults all back to vzw info.
 
I have a flashed Moto Q and I have not noticed any problems. I am in albuquerque but to be honest I dont know what OTA stanRAB for, can someone clue me in..?
 
yes since the passworRAB and logins involve your min/mdn or whatever by default the phone will restore them after programming (to what ever the pre-programed formula for verizon is).
 
I flashed a q to for a friend and he tried to add wap and they said they couldn't do it but then he raised a stink with them and they did it anyways.

Then i had another friend who had me flash a q for them and then got on the phone with the reps and they said there is no possible way that wap works on flashed phones and wouldnt let him do it cause "we don't want you to be paying for a feature you can't use"

Man did i get mad! because i'm using a Q9M with working wap and mms that i flashed so i know for sure it works!

The only way i can think of to get them to put wap on your account is to add it before you switch your esn to the flashed phone...

If there is a way to make the rep put it on your account please put it out there because i'm getting extra mad at these reps who tell us that it wont work that don't even live in america.. :doh:
 
does it stop that if you change the 3rd byte in your paramtable1.fil back to 00 after you flash?

also- i did a vx8700 yesterday and it did OTA fine...i didn't get to try it again though...the custy was running out the door as soon as it was done...wouldn't even let me do full flash, talk/text only...blah
 
i have noticed that ever since they have fired up EVDO in this are like publicly all the OTA's have gone ok, MEID and ESN so far anyway, but ill keep my eyes out, cause maybe they droped the ball on something in the switch
