Which Phone?
This all depends on what carrier we end up with.
There really are three choices for me. One is offered on both Verizon and Sprint.
Verizon : Touch Pro 2, Droid.
Sprint : Touch Pro 2, Moment.
The Touch Pro 2 is a Windows Mobile phone, while the others are Android phones.
Touch Pro 2 looks great, but it's processor is a bit dated...this time next year it will be completely outclassed.
I'm LOVING the looks of the Droid. If we stay with Verizon....I think I'm gettin that puppy.
The real decision is if we stay with Sprint. I have the TP2 or the Moment....the problem with the Moment is that it's screen is only 280 x 350 resolution....the TP2 is 480 x 800. This makes surfing the web waaaaay better because you can see more of the page in the screen.
Another problem is that both the sprint phones are mail order only....I'll have to get one of each and send one back...
I guess Jan get's the Moment and I'll get the TP2.....for now.

Sprint AiRave - Easy to install - just doesn't work.
Last night I received the new AiRave unit from Sprint. If you read my earlier post on Which wireless carrier? Stick with Big Red OR go Yellow , you remember that this was a critical element in the decision....because of that STUPID ELECTRICAL BOX.....but I digress. This post is about the AiRave installation.
Why GPS
Generally, the installation was easy cheesy. You have to put the unit near a window because it uses GPS to verify where it is. Sprint doesn't want you taking the unit all over the place getting cheap calls....it's for your house...and your house it needs to stay. So when you set it up, it captures the GPS coordinates, so Sprint knows when you're moving the unit around.
Anywho....I have to have the unit in our bedroom, because that's where the internet Router is. The little GPS unit comes with a nice long cord so I was able to stretch it to our bedroom window and keep the unit on the other side of the bedroom....to offer better coverage to the other side of the house....the side the driveway is on...reference electrical unit.....so.....I plugged everything in all the lights came on. Seemed to be working fine....but no GPS and no System.
Why No GPS
We only have one window and it faces sort of North East. If you know anything about GPS in the US, most of the satellites are in the Southern sky. Needless to say, it's tough getting a GPS signal near our bedroom window. I tried with my cellphone and couldn't....but it could downstairs....which is weird.............I'll move the unit tonight and see if it works.
Well...without the GPS, the unit won't work....so....as of now.....it's all going back and we're going to have to stay with Verizon.
Tonight...I will move the unit and see if it works.
On a side note.....hving to stay with Verizon isn't all that bad...they have that new Droid phone coming out that looks totally AWESOME!!!!! more on that in another post.

Which wireless carrier? Stick with Big Red OR go Yellow
We are in a cost cutting mode right now at our house and Sprint has a VERY ATTRACTIVE OFFER right now. They have a family share plan where 2 phones share
Right now my wife and I share
I went so far as to purchase a Sprint phone...with every intention of taking it back. I had to check the coverage at our house. Glad I did. There's one of those big electrical boxes in our front yard. With the Sprint phone, the call is dropped right when you pull into the driveway. EVERY TIME.
Deal's done...stay with Verizon right? NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND.
Sprint has Airave...a little device you keep in your home. Your phone connects to it and the call is routed thru your high speed internet. Unlimited calls....to cell phones or land lines...are only $10/month. The question is....will it connect fast enough to stop the dropped call....
Time will tell. I ordered one of these units for a test. In all...this little experiment will cost me a total of about $75. But it will be very much worth it if I can save almost $100 / month.

Getting your sprint phone on a vzw network
Step Four
Install QPST on your computer
Step Five
If you completed all the preliminary steps, you should be ready to fully begin. At this point, you can perform the steps on the vzw leaked rom or on your sprint touch pro rom. If you are performing this on the sprint touch pro rom, you will need DCD carriers cab. On the vzw rom, however, I have noted that MMS does work on the phone (and you know how much we love our mms). I think this is solely up to you whether or not you use either rom for operation. Remember though, if you are doing this on a sprint rom
Place your phone in DMR mode. (##3424, ##3424#)
Step Ten
Now, its time to change our MIP settings.
Step Fourteen
If you are still on a sprint phone, install DCD vzw carrier cab.
FAQ and Troubleshooting
This post is taken from a PPCGeeks Thread :
Verizon - Sprint Touch Pro on VZW Network Tutorial
I am going to attempt this in a day or so...I have read thru the entire thread (all 93 pages) and recorded some of the solutions to problems people had. I will augment these steps and maybe explode them out a bit and add some pictures as I myself go thru the process.
You will see my comments and changes in this color. The original post in this color. I've modified the content a bit of the original post to make it easier to follow...for me at least.
You will see my comments and changes in this color. The original post in this color. I've modified the content a bit of the original post to make it easier to follow...for me at least.
First, you need to understand that these phones have two different parts...the ROM and the Radio. The Radio is programmed to talk to the towers for each carrier. The ROM is the operating system of the phone.
Next, you will need to know some terms:
ROM: I'm not sure what the acronym stands for. But in the Windows Mobile world...this is basically the operating system of the phone. The ROM also has some specific configuration settings that make the operating system and other programs work the Radio part of the phone.
QPST: from widipedia : (Qualcomm Product Support Tool) It features a file explorer, factory test tools, low level communication settings, RF calibration tools, roaming list editor, service programming tool, and more.
MSL : (Master Subsidiary Lock ) : Your carrier's way of keeping you on their network. it's the lock on the Radio ( I think)
PRL : (Preferred Roaming List) :
Unlocker : This is different then the MSL. The Unlocker basically removes the lock on the ROM
DMU Keys: (Dynamic Mobile Update Keys): DMU is a mechanism for distributing and updating Mobile IP (MIP) cryptographic keys in CDMA2000 1xRTT (1X) and 1xEV-DO (EV-DO) networks. This new process protects data as a user moves from one cellular coverage area to another.
you will need
It's very important to use build 301. there have been many reported problems with earlier builds of QPST.
Getting to DMR and EPST are critical for this process to work. There have been reports that custom dialer skins inhibit these from working correctly. Uninstall any dialer skins on the phone. You should be using the normal standard dialer.
Step Zero
Step One
You can perform this step on your phone.
- QPST (google this - seriously, because chances of you finding it here are slim)
- QPST 2.7 build 301
http://www.mediafire.com/file/wmytga..._Build_301.rar
It's very important to use build 301. there have been many reported problems with earlier builds of QPST.
- Baffles MSL Grabber (you can find it here: http://www.baf.cc/bafmsl you will need .net framework 3.5 installed on your phone)
- An unlocked Sprint Touch Pro (Raphael Unlocker here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503)
- VZW leaked rom (that you can find here : ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Raphael/Stock%20R...51064_Ship.exe)
- The most current vzw PRL (Again you can find that here : http://www.corolada.com/prl/verizon/51056.prl)
- DMU Keys (Find that here : http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment...2&d=1205773368)
- HTC modem drivers http://www.cinconet.org/gpsfix/WMode...rInstaller.exe
A couple things you'll need to know during the process. Don't ask....just know.
DMR mode for sprint is ##3424#, for vzw ##3424 and press the send key
EPST for sprint is ##778# , for verizon ##778 and hit the send key

Step Zero
You will need .Net 3.5 on the phone, most newer software require it...You need to install this on the phone. There are cab installers (phone) and exe installers (computer). You'll need to do this before you even start this process.
Step One
You can perform this step on your phone.
Install Baffles MSL Grabber
Copy .cab file to the phone and run it.
The software will install and put a shortcut probably in your Programs.
Then run the software.
and write your MSL.
This is basically pressing a single button on the application.
My suggestion is to open up a text document and type it there because it will be necessary later on.
Step Two
Unlock your device using the Raphael team elite unlocker for sprint.
Step Two
Unlock your device using the Raphael team elite unlocker for sprint.
I used the second link (I believe .37).
Make sure your computer is connected to the device using Active Sync (XP) or Mobile Device Center (Vista).
This is a program you will run from your computer.
This is a program you will run from your computer.
It will unlock the ROM on the device.
Step Three
Install the htc modem drivers on your computer (that's kind of important)
I think these are important because they will allow your computer to talk to the phone during the programming stage. Active Sync and MDC don't work while we do the low level stuff.

This post has pretty good information about what we're doing here:
How To: Use another carriers HTC on VZW
Place your phone in DMR mode. (##3424, ##3424#)
Connect your phone to your computer via usb mode.
If everything worked okay, the popup for drivers shouldn't come up at all.
Step Five dot Two
On your computer,
Start QPST config and select ports
Check FAQ below if you have issues
Step Six (Port Selection Troubleshooting)
Now, in QPST, your phone should come up. If it doesn't, right click on my computer and select properties. Click hardware and then device manager. Click view and device by connection. Click on your USB controllers and don't stop until you see HTC. Notice the com port that the HTC device is on (mine on two different computers, running xp or vista was COM5, yours may be different). Take a note of this and return to QPST config. Now, click add COM port, and add the port you saw in the device manager. QPST will pick up the phone.
Step Seven
Click on services

Click on services
Go to services programming.
Select your phone and begin.
This will ask for your MSL.
Type in MSL and continue.
Click read from phone.
You may have to retype that MSL code, if not good. but on some cases, it asked me for my MSL code twice (unfortunately) so I typed it in twice. The point of it all is this - to get the data from your phone to QPST
Step Eight - changing your MSL
Now that you are in QPST Service programming, you can change your MSL unlock code.
Step Eight - changing your MSL
Now that you are in QPST Service programming, you can change your MSL unlock code.
Please change it to 000000.
That is vzw's MSL code, and it is so easy to remember for later on.
Click write to phone.
You will know when this is done if you can see that the buttons read from phone, write to phone, are not grayed out.
I caution, do not close out of QPST service programming until this is done!
Step Nine (optional)
Okay so at this point,
Step Nine (optional)
Okay so at this point,
Installed the leaked vzw rom
but it is not necessary to perform this step at all. Its just something I did to make things a lot easier on me. Individual results can vary though.
Step Ten
Now, its time to change our MIP settings.
On your phone, Go into EPST (##778, ##778#) and select your MIP profile.
On your phone you can edit the information to match the following:
MIP Profile
Number of profiles: 6
Active user profile index: 0
MIP_MODE: Mobile IP Prefered
MIP Reg Retries: 2
MIP Reg Retry: 1750 ms
MIP Pre-Reg Timeout: 0
Mobile Node-HA: Enable
Send A Reg: Disable
Dormant Handoff Opt: Enable
Step Eleven
In EPST, go to MIP default profile
MIP Profile
Number of profiles: 6
Active user profile index: 0
MIP_MODE: Mobile IP Prefered
MIP Reg Retries: 2
MIP Reg Retry: 1750 ms
MIP Pre-Reg Timeout: 0
Mobile Node-HA: Enable
Send A Reg: Disable
Dormant Handoff Opt: Enable
Step Eleven
In EPST, go to MIP default profile
and edit the information on your phone to match these settings:
MIP Default Profile
Enable Profile: Enable
NAI: cellnumber@vzw3g.com (MDN@vzw3g.com)
DUN NAI: (cellnumber@vzw3g.com to tether without a tethering package or cellnumber@dun.vzw3g.com if you want paid tethering))
MN HA SPI Set: Enable
MN HA SPI Value: 12C
MN AAA SPI Set: Enable
MN AAA SPI Value: 0 (requires a "2" here for 6800 and 6900)
Reverse Tunneling: Enable
Home Address: 0.0.0.0
HA Shared Secret: (erase whatever entry is here leave blank)
AAA Shared Secret: (erase whatever entry is here leave blank)
Primary HA Address: 255.255.255.255
Secondary HA Address: 255.255.255.255
DMU Pub Key: 10
MN Authenticator: 0
It is very important to erase the HA and AAA shared keys. We will return back to them momentarily
Step Eleven
There may be an alternative method to this...see FAQ below
Complete changes from EPST and the device will soft reset.
MIP Default Profile
Enable Profile: Enable
NAI: cellnumber@vzw3g.com (MDN@vzw3g.com)
DUN NAI: (cellnumber@vzw3g.com to tether without a tethering package or cellnumber@dun.vzw3g.com if you want paid tethering))
MN HA SPI Set: Enable
MN HA SPI Value: 12C
MN AAA SPI Set: Enable

It is very important to erase the HA and AAA shared keys. We will return back to them momentarily
Step Eleven
There may be an alternative method to this...see FAQ below
Complete changes from EPST and the device will soft reset.
Now place your phone in diag (DMR) mode (##3424, ##3424#)
Connect your phone to your computer and
Enter QPST EFS explorer.
Unzip the DMU keys and
notice you will see the file on your hard drive. In EFS explorer, you will see the DMU folder.
Right click on the folder and
You will be able to insert a DMU key via the file explorer on your computer.
Select the DMU key file and press okay.
The information will be written to the phone.
Step Twelve
Drag your PRL file you downloaded from your computer to your cell phone memory.
Step Twelve
Drag your PRL file you downloaded from your computer to your cell phone memory.
Dial ##PRL and hit send if you are on vzw rom,
##PRL# Send if you are still on the sprint rom.
This will lead to a dialog box on your phone that will allow you to locate the PRL file you loaded onto your phone. Make sure the PRL is in a directory where you can access it when you browse for it on your phone.
Step Thirteen
Place your phone back in diag (DMR) mode (##3424, ##3424#).
Step Thirteen
Place your phone back in diag (DMR) mode (##3424, ##3424#).
Connect to QPST service programming and go to the MIP default profile
(AAA shared secret and HA shared secret is where you need to go in Service programming).
If there is anything in those two areas, delete it, click enter hex values and leave it blank.
Write to phone.
Step Fourteen
If you are still on a sprint phone, install DCD vzw carrier cab.
If not, please dial *228.
The menu has changed, so you will have to hear EVERY option before selecting.
You will enter option number 3.
Go through the prompts on vzw's end and
the phone will program and soft reset.
Step Fifteen
Once your phone has soft reset, you're almost done! You should have text messaging and voice, but data not yet. So to get data, you have some options.
Step Fifteen
Once your phone has soft reset, you're almost done! You should have text messaging and voice, but data not yet. So to get data, you have some options.
If you can't get data to authenticate, follow step thirteen.
Then force the phone into 1x mode
(I don't care how you do it - what I did was go to a mall basement)
Connect to the internet in 1x mode.
EvDO won't work, but 1x does work. What is going to happen is the HA and AAA shared keys will be written to the phone by the network. If all goes well, you should have your sprint touch pro phone 99.9% working on vzw network.
FAQ and Troubleshooting
If the settings don't stick after a hard reset try this:
There is a bug in the herman.core where the autorun.exe causes your programming the reset back to sprint in the ppckitchen. Remove the autorun.exe from the herman.core and it wont reset your settings. Thanks to NexVision for pointing it out.
I just got my data to work.
-Called verizon and asking them to reset my DMU keys. They did no problem.
-I did *228 opt 1.
-Forced the phone into 1X mode which gave me internet
-Browsed around some
-Went back to EVDO
-Called verizon and asking them to reset my DMU keys. They did no problem.
-I did *228 opt 1.
-Forced the phone into 1X mode which gave me internet
-Browsed around some
-Went back to EVDO
Another Option for data not working:
I have no advice on MMS but data is now on my pro. I switched my account to my old phone (not actually a verizon phone either...) then back to my pro and data suddenly worked. Didn't have to copy data passwords. Thanks everyone.
DMU Keys Alternative Method
I just got my data working after several hours. For those of you out there that are not able to get it working, maybe this will help. I followed all the suggestions:
*228 option 3 on old phone, *228 option 3 on new phone
DMU reset, *228 option 1 on new phone
turning phones off, on, and changing EIN on vzw.com
force 1x mode, then try network (no connection)
update password, etc. in network settings
Nothing worked. Finally I realized my problem.
I had skipped option 11. I did it on purpose because the DMU link is broken. After I saw it was broken, I had looked through the forums until I found the suggestion of 1x connection to pull DMU keys. I had assumed that this would replace step 11. However, step 11 is a must. The DMU public keys must be on your phone before you can hope to pull any keys or even connect. I am baffled as to why that post has not been updated to point to the DMU keys, as they are quite necessary. I finally found them here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment...8&d=1229181632
in case the link dies again, it is the 4th post on this thread:

or this post:

After this you need to use EFS explorer to put "10.key" in your DMU folder. You can just drag it in. After that I did a *228 option 1 (again, because I had already finished all other steps), and it worked! I didn't even have to force 1x mode, but I did that anyway to be safe.
After this it seems to work fine, although QPST still shows no keys, ##778 does show that there are keys in there. And I have data!

Another DATA Related Success Story:
Scratch that the option I saw earlier worked perfect -sorry forgot who posted it-. Activate your old phone for at least 10 minutes, then activate your Touch Pro and the HA and AA keys should get written. *Note: To be on the safe side I went into EPST (##778 > Edit > enter your MSL which you should have set to 000000) > Modem settings (Locate via left soft-key) > Disable that HDN or whatever its called and set preffered system to CDMA only. Then go on the internet for like 45 seconds. After you've been connected go back into EPST and set the modem settings back to what they were.

New PRL to fix the Roaming triangle:
Found this forum with a link to the most recent modified PRL (51190) that eliminates the Roaming triangle from Sprint Touch Pros on the Verizon network. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=50076 . Used it on my phone and it works perfectly. Also, read that forum for some great information about PRLs.
This PRL is newer than the 51143 and the 51101 PRLs on this forum I believe.

For QPST not finding the port.....
Yea, sometimes you have to just keep adding ports until you hit the right one.
It doesn't hurt anything to add them.

If you want REALLY be productive, get an HTC built pda phone.
Let me ask you. Are you using that computer you bought exactly as you bought it? Of course not. You bought software, installed games, all kinds of good stuff. Well, why would you settle for a cellphone that can't do the same thing?
I've had my Verizon xv6800 for about two months now and love it. I simply can't think of what it must have been like before this. Of course, I'm not running the same piece that big red gave me.
OH NO! and this is the point of this post. The xv6800, also known to Sprint customers as the mogul, is made by the biggest pda phone manufacturer in the world, HTC. Their name for it is the Titan. Now, HTC phone have, for years, been hacked and cracked into all sorts of wonderfullness.
Think of taking your Honda Accord and putting some computer stuff in it and turning it into a Porche. This is what the hackers can do to an HTC phone. The Titan has seen some serious hack-tion since it's inception. In the last two weeks, they figured out how to enable the GPS chip, yes, its in there. Not only that, they also put the NEXT version of windows mobile operating system on the phone.
Of course, like with your Accord, the warrantee is void when you hack these phones. But, the increased functionality and useability is welll worth the risk. There are so many things you can do with these phones.
If you work, then you can use the pda phone. checking email, getting news on the go, communicating in variuos ways (sms,mms,email,IM,blog) all are possible.
"but I can do that with this phone or that phone". Yes, I hear you iPhone users. You can do those things. But only in the way Steve Jobs wants you to. I have options for how I view webpages, get email, IM, even sms with my wife! I can take a picture, and in 5 seconds, you can see the picture on map where it was taken.
Options....Flexibilty.....Choice......FREEEEEDOMMMMMMMM!
If you like old style Russian command economy, then buy an iPhone or other non-Windows Mobile phone.
If you prefer the American values of freedom of choice, then buy a Windows Mobile Pocket PC. If you like the old west, make sure its an HTC built one.
