Concerning cricket a200

Hi,
i just bought a cricket(cal comp) a200 cellphone here in mexico, the device was supposed to be used so my guess was it was carrier ready. Also the guy that sold it to me never told me it was locked, i took it to a local carrier but they weren't capable to unlock it.

I came here as a result of looking how to unlock this phone, one search engine result was this thread: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I downloaded that, but didn't know whats that for

Phone is new, and would like if there is a way to "flash it" (i read this in some sticky thread). Have googled a lot, but not managed much, not even have drivers.

I'll apreciate any information, thanks.

To flash it you will need to first know some basics and also have the basics.

Basics to know:
What your carriers setting are. Is it CDMA or GSM, if the carrier is GSM this phone won't work.
Does the carrier require the spc to be six 0's or is it unique and assigned by the carrier.
How to operate programs in a Windows environment.
How to follow instructions and modify them to suite your needs.

Basics you will need to have:
Phone
Data cable
Drivers
A PST program. (CDMA WS 3.5.5 is recommended but not free)
Patience. A-lot of patience.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm ok with windows, and procedure execution. Carrier is CDMA. Don't know about spc number, is there a way to find whether it's generic or not?
I think i have basics, exept for PST software, aside from CDMA worshop what other program could work? I got this phone from 300 pesos, about 20 bucks, i just look at the cdms-ware website, this soft seems more pros oriented, i'm just one time user.

You can check with your carrier for the PST setting and SPC/MSL info.
You can also try any of the following for PST Software:
CDMA WS 2.7 cracked
QPST
UniCDMA
and many others posted in the CDMA flashing software forum.
