STEP BY STEP u340 Tutorial.

Thank you berry for responding. I did that but when I go to put the pESN in CID it doesn't like it. I even tried putting in the long MEID decimal nuraber with the pESN hex and it is not activating. Thanks again in advance for any help
 
Hi folks!

Just thought I would ask for a little hand-holding to get my first phone flash completed. Just to learn and test to make sure we are starting off on the right foot, I have just purchased the latest software bundle called Catalyst and received my cables etc. Yesterday I went and purchased a Verizon Samsung u340 phone and want to flash it to Cricket. I would sure appreciate it if someone that has the same software and or tools that I have could walk me through my first flash. I'll be happy to call you and save you the dime if you can help. I've tried going through the step by step guide but still haven't had a successful flash. Thanks. 623-544-5277 -Scott
 
Basically here are the steps:

Put the phone in emergency mode. (9+Power with the phone off).

Load up Samsung PST with the proper DLL.

Select software. Then select Emergency or emergency+EFS. Click on Start. This takes about 20 minutes.

Once the Cricket firmware has loaded do this:

1. type 47*68#13580
2. type 001 this will suspend the phone
3. type 013. channel will come up. Enter 0925 then #
4. Type 031. MRU2 table will appear. Enter 210925 then OK. Saved will come up.
5. Enter 120 Q Boot will appear Enter 0 then saved will come up.
6. Enter 073. Clear mem will show up and then the phone will reboot.

Rewrite the ESN to the phone. Use Samsung default then write the ESN.
Write the PRL to the phone.

After all this is done, you should have a fully flashed U340.

This was all from memory so I might not have been as thorough. I also got it from Amoamare. I still have the webpage saved. But I won't repost it here until he gives permission to do so..
 
figured it out guys thanks for your help. I used the pESN hex in CDMA workshop and then when I activated it I used the Meid Decimal and the pESN Hex. Then hanRABet programmed it and made a call. The mistake I made at first was after I activated it I tried to *228 it and messed everything up, I should have just hanRABet programmed it and made a call.

I know I rarabled but I hope this helps anyone that might have had the same issues. Again thanks for everyone's help :buddies:
 
Yeah, I kinda left out the MEID decimal part. But for some reason I was thinking you already had that when you said you "knew how to convert it".

Anyway, congrats! :buddies:
 
I just tried flashing 2 Verizon U340's and everything went well except that now I can't write the esn or prl. When I connect the phones the COM port never shows up now. Anyone know whats up?
 
Im having a problem flashing verizon u340's to cricket using samsung pst lite. I put it in emergency mode, I hook it up to samsung pst lite, i use cricket u340 dll, but when i attemptt o start the firmware flash this is what the pst does:
At bottom "Init com port" then it says "transferring srt" and then Samsung pst crashes everytime.
Am i using the correct dll? should i be using a verizon one? I have tried several different u340's and different computers, and same problem every time.
I could really use some help.
