OK, Here's what I recommend and it has worked for me in the past. So here's the options,
1st option and easiest buy CDMA WS 3.7 use it and resell it. (Yes they will allow that)
2nd option pay someone to flash it. Quick and a lot less expensive than buying workshop.
3rd option, This is the option I used to use. CDMA WS 2.7 cheapest but most time consuming.
You will want to do the following in order.
read the phone with 2.7 then do a complete NV backup. (in case anything goes wrong)
then goto whiterabbit.org and enter your [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and choose 2.7 and save that file.
return to WS 2.7 and write those NV files. (the file from whiterabbit)Should write 11 files successful and 1 failed.
Then back to the phone ##000000# and edit the passwords to cricket.
At that point should have a 3g icon and data.
This is hit and miss depending on what OS version you have, I had better luck with the oldest OS when I was using 2.7.
Good luck.
