the prl in your ss is a verizon prl,not cricket.so you muat have gotten the ota to work after your ss.but i assure you jailbreaking does not interfear with ota programming.also when you use sn0wbreeze you are automatically jailbreaking unless you specifically select to not add cydia before cooking.but if you just dl'd a ipsw cooked with sn0wbreeze then it is surely jb.but glad you got it worked out.

there are different ways of jailbreaking an iPhone. I have been jailbreaking and unlocking GSM iphones for a long time now. I remember a while back that when 4.0 came out if you did the jailbreak with Redsn0w if would mess up the APN Settings and such. Then the made a patch for that. I remember that if you did the Jailbreak with Sn0wbreeze back in those days you didnt have that problem. That PRL file I said I replaced it with came from the PRL file area here in the cricket forum. In conclusion I understand that by cooking my ipsw with sn0wbreeze it is jailbroken. But it is jailbroken in a different manner and in my opinion a little bit cleaner.

Thank you Rich, I got it. I am going to do some traveling tonight and keep trying the *228 and *22804. I hope it kicks back in. Its crazy hard to get it going again. After I get it back to being activated I dont think I will be changing anything that might make me have to reload the iPhone again.

When I change the SID in the "310VZW.pri" file does it need to be "04857" or "4857"? I have it as "4857" right now. I only replaced the original "2004" that was in the pri file. I wasnt sure the "0" should be before the number of not because the Cricket rep at the store only told me the 4 digits with no 0.

Also what is a NID? Does it need to be changed cause the NID was never changed.

what I cant understand is why dialing *228 doesnt give me the OTA thing.
"PRL 32000"

*228 "Welcome to Cricket then "Spanish lady" then I am told if I am getting this message it is because my cricket account is suspended.
*22805 gets me the Verizon OTA
*22802 gets me the Sprint OTA
*22804 Gets me the message that my call cannot be completed as dialed
*22801 drops to 1 bar and nothing
*22803 drops to 1 bar and nothing
*22806 drops to 1 bar and nothing
*22807 drops to 1 bar and nothing
*22808 drops to 1 bar and nothing
*22809 drops to 1 bar and nothing
