LG Dare Service Required

**thesmitty68521** · 03-19-2010, 03:02 PM

I had someone bring on an LG Dare that had "Service Required" on it and no signal.

I tried writing the ESN to the phone, the PRL, and even restore the phone. I get an error that says "restore not available" when I try this.

As a last ditch effort, I tried to rewrite the BIN, PRL/SCR to the phone and that still didn't do anything to fix the problem.

Any suggestions?

try a different prl?

usually that has something to do with the esn/meid

what ever you used to program it use the same program to do a reset and it should fix it worked for me on a couple of dare when i reset it with lgnpst

Yeah, I have tried that. I have tried several PRL's, Just reloading the bin, scr, and prl to the phone then rewriting the ESN to the phone.

It says what the PRL is in CDMA Workshop but when I look in the phone, it says "PRL: none". That just might be where my problem is. I've never came across this problem before.

yeah i remember when Dex was helping me out...it was saying the prl was the old Verizon prl...i switched prls in QPST...i went and reloaded the same prl in LGNPST and it read correctly after that.
