Problems Flashing Verizon Iphone4

[ministermtc]

I am having trouble flashing my VZ iphone 4 to Cricket, I have been following the various instructions on this site and others but I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to flash my phone. I am running the redsn0w JB for my iphone4 version 5.0.1 (9A405). I have cydia installed and openssh.
I have attempted to use the following prl unsuccessfully
CKT_EVO4G_SMART_32300.prl
01040.prl
05244.prl
38515.prl

I have copied the reanamed the files as carrier.prl as there is no 310vzw.pwl in the
/system/library/Carrier Bundles/iphone/Zeppelin_US.bundle

I have even attempted to create a 310vzw.prl along with carrier and place it in the directory.

I set the carrier.plist to true reboot
and there is no carrier in the top left hand corner
I set the carrier.plist back to true reboot
and the carrier is set back to VZ

when I attempt to call
*#5005*4357# the call is routed to VZ support
if I dial
*228
It welcomes me to verizon

I am not sure what I am doing wrong....is there some step that I am missing. I know that Rich Hathaway is working on a flash, I may have to wait for that flash...but I am not a very patient person...
any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there and welcome! To start you most likely are not doing anything wrong the problem is 5.0.1. I have 4 iphone 4 verizon 3 on 5.0.1 and one on 4.2.8 the one on 4.2.8 worked perfectly but it will not work on 5.0.1. Bummer I know. I had tried many ways cannot do it. Rich the moderator here says it will most likely work making a custom ipsw but that is over my head for now at this point but he says he will make us one but to give him time as he is busy now with his work so if you check in from time to time maybe it will be here under cdma iphone? If you find something out let us know I am waiting to get mine on cricket also no phone until then.

Where are you located?

and what does *22804 yield, cricket or VZW?

*22804 is nothing really once you flash the phone and the esn is in crickets system then you dial *22804 and it will update the prls in the phone I flashed an iphone 4 on 4.2.8 and did not need to do that when I brought it to cricket to get put into the system they did that themselves. For metro I don't know if it is the same maybe? I think it will update any carrier you have an account with? I think so? If you can flash 5.0.1 please let me know. I am in Reno nevada

Nothing, When I dial *22804 it attempts to call out and then ends the call immediately there is no response.
