    Default Samsung Prevail M820 Cricket flash...Help please

    So I have a Boost Samsung prevail M820 that I am trying to flash to Cricket. This phone is kind of irritating me. It seems like you have to do everything manually. I got the prl loaded thru CDMA ws but it won't let you write ANYTHING else. It says access denied. I found a page with all the ** commands but still no luck. When I go into the browser and enter the gateway ip address nothing happens. So stuck at talk and text at this point. Any help who be greatly appreciated...

    There seems to be a lot of 'security' on this phone from Boost, they really do not want you to flash it easily. So you'll be hard pressed to do any of the programming through a PC.

    ANYWAYS.. here's what I did

    1. Plug in phone in debugging mode
    2. adb shell getprop ril.MSL
    3. ##8778# > USB Mode
    4. CDMA Workshop > Unlock with MSL, won't let you write SPC but that's ok
    5. CDMA Workshop > Write PRL
    6. Unplug phone
    7. ##SPC# > Edit > write MDN and MIN > Done

    On reboot the phone should be half flashed.

    Full flash programming would have to be done in ##DATA# then most likely normal Samsung Galaxy steps.

    this phone not answer on nv commands like other phones. But you can program it completely by using QPST EFS explorer.
    In nvm/num you can see a bunch ot txt files named as digits. It is nv items by numbers. If you know wich nv you want to
    edit - just copy it, edit and write back. when edit all - just reboot. Works in metro pcs voice/text/internet - i tested on my own number
