THAT'S JUST READING AND WRITEING PRL, YES IT CAN BE DON WITH WINTESLA, WITH THE CRACKED VERSION I DON'T KNOW, BUT WITH PKD-1 YES.

i have written the prl to the phone but nokia tech says that different carriers have different software on their respective phones based on what they want/ don't want them to do..... cricket communications orders a very disabled phone from nokia ( no roaming, no extra feature, etc...) verizon phones have all of these features

i want to make a cricket phone work with verizon

I didnt think Cricket used 5185's would of thought they would use a 5170.
The roaming is controlled by the PRL table... Once you change that all should work. It is true different carriers do have different flash files for CDMA. However we never saw a flash made for a Cricket phone before the model 3285. Most likeley you just have a 'generic' flash which defaults to NOT having anything disabled.

What is the flash version/prl of your phone.

the following are results of *#9999# for both phones

Old Cricket Phone

PRL: 50047 ( this prl is the current verizon prl I put this here)
V 582SD1b5.nef

NSD-1AW
(c)NMP
PRI: 504932
CSUM: 0000

Verizon uses an OTA (Over the Air) Activation process via *228 send to program the phone number and update the prl

I can put the esn of the old phone on my account but the OTA method fails...(SYSTEM ACCESS FAILED)

I have a contact that is a nokia level 3 tech and he accomplished making a duplicate of the software on the new and putting it on an old one... I have about 30 of these phones to do.... but he charges me per phone.... I know that he has wintesla and phoenix and dongles but i don't know his method and obviously he is not going to share a moneymaking secret..... i need help
