I've been trying to get this phone to read in CDMA WS all day and haven't made much progress. Just hoping someone out there might be able to help me out. I know on the VZW i500 (like most other androids I have worked with) you have to enable USB Debugging and Dial Up Networking. The only problem is that the USCC i500 doesn't have the Dial Up Networking option :(. I've been doing searches all day and have tried multiple different dial strings, drivers, and using QPST instead of CDMAWS.

If nobody out there has a solution, it would be greatly appreciated. My friend want to switch the the cricket network and I'm sure he paid a pretty penny for this phone. I'd hate to tell him it can't be done, but that's how it's looking so far.

I would just like to toss in that I was able to get this one flashed using the ##8778# suggestion. I was using the driver for the Samsung moment and used a no proxy method in CDMA WS. It was actually a pretty easy flash.
