Flash iPhone to Cricket before adding ESN/MEID - Help

[antman1]

phone had never been on cricket before and had just come from verizon.

The answer is in your quote, The phone was on Verizon therefor it had a number programmed in prior to me doing OTA the first time. Remember in my post I stated that I programmed a random TN on my other phone (Not a valid Cricket TN). After doing that the other phone would work for OTA. Of course it failed each time cause the ESN wasn't on a Cricket account but at least it got to OTA. Eventually it would erase the TN putting a 000000000xxxx number in the MDN and MIN fields and the phone would never go back to OTA again with *228 and *22804. Somehow when I restored my iPhone it reset those fields and the OTA will not get me to the programming prompt.

Programming prompts work for Verizon and Sprint when I dial there OTA Numbers so this leads me to believe it is a glitch in the Nashville Market Cricket OTA or something else.

oh i see you ment that as long as it was something other than a bunch of zeros and then a few digits,but not one neccassarilly one that is active....ya thats strange,but woth looking into,i would offer to help you but in my kansas city market it does not make any difference at all,i have restored hundreds of times with many dif iphones and not had a issue other than occasionally getting a stubborn phone that i gotta work at to gain ota.

but report back yer findings to us , there are some others with issues with ota.

surprisingly I was able to OTA provision my iPhone yesterday. I decided to try again and it did activate. I left the Verizon PRL on it and tried again same as I have many times in the past and it gave me the OTA instead of the message about the TN not being able to be dialed.
