I have spent all day long on this site trying to see if I could get my old Verizon LGVX9800 to use my Cricket Service since I switched from verison to cricket and I hated the older slider phone that I was using.
I downloaded QPST and I hooked my VX9800 to the PC with the USB cable. I had to add COM3 that the phone was located on then it saw my phone.
Then I downloaded the PRL file that I found here PRL_1039
I opened QPST Service programming I use the model QCT-7200 I clicked read from phone and it loaded most of the phones NAM settings and stuff then I clicked on the Roam tab and under preferred Roaming where it says file name I clicked browse and located the prl1039 file then I clicked write to phone and my phone restarted. Then I dialed *611 on the phone and it connected to cricket Customer service!
I called Cricket technical support and told them I wanted to update my ESN for my phone. They charge $15 to change this BTW.
Then after I got off the phone with them I dialed *228 and it programmed the phone and it now works with Cricket Service!
Text messaging works fine all my MP3's and MP3 ringtones work fine as well,
AIM doesn't work and picture messaging isn't working either. I think there are more settings in there that I may need to change around. If anyone knows how I can get the pix and AIM to work and what settings I need to change please help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone else would like help doing this let me know and I'll be happy to help.
Just my small Contribution to this forum!

@trickshot11: Dude, did you read the first post here? It is a step by step list of instructions of what you have to do.

@jaysinism: you have to change the websession info on the phone I think but I'm not sure what to tell you it is because I use Jump and they don't even support those options.
 
Yeah I can access the files that have that info with QPST but it won't let me change any of it. I know all of the settings that I need to write into the phone, the problem is accessing that and being able to write it to the phone. I found somewhere that LG PST will do it but I have yet to find a Full version of that around on the net. I'm not sure where you can get that from.

If anyone neeRAB some help with flashing their phone. I have put up a small tutorial. I'm not going to post the link in this thread. I believe thats against the rules. PM me for the link!
 
If someone else tries this and it works please say so as I have been wanting to buy a vx9800 for a while and I just want to confirm this works (no offense Jay I really appreciate your information). Thanks.
 
Ok well not only did I do this to my own VX9800 I also did it with my GirlfrienRAB VX9800 and one other of my frienRAB VX9800. If you don't believe me thats alright.
 
THis is a crazy old post but here is my dilemma. I just bought a 9800 off of ebay and unlike everyone here I want to use it with my verizon service. the problem is that it looks like someone flashed or removed the prl on the phone. Can someone help me fix the prl on my phone. I am assuming I need qpst but i cant find a copy of it. Help
