how in the world did you flash it yourself, you got mms and web/wap working without service books from tony? Im willing to pay, i did pm tony, he doesnt sound too interested. Anyone seeing this thread near Phoenix want to fix mine?
Thanks
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com
thinking about buyin a storm now. i flashed one for someone yesterday so i figure if i get a storm i can have it gsm unlocked and flashed the cdma to cricket then, i will be able to use it with any service.
okay apart from hofo and tonycortes, who actually knows how to modify the Metro PCS service books and what they need to be? tony is too busy to care and I'm not paying 60 bucks for something i can do myself. So if someone can provide me with the information needed or a place other than hofo to find it, i would be VERY thankful.
Can u please pm me or email me.. i might be interested in purcashing the solution.
Thanks
sorry gguys. i have to post some garbhage post real quick so i can reach the post count then i will be able to pm you guys with the price for the solutin
I have a Sprint Blackberry Curve 8330 flashed to Cricket with talk/text. I'm trying to get my internet/mms working. I am a noob at this so if someone could walk me throught it step by step it would be greatly appreciated! =]
1) visit HowardForums and ask tonycortes to flash your phone. he will do it for free and data/mms will work.
2) you don't need to change the ESN. cricket accepts any ESN even sprint/verizon blacklisted ESN's.
3) flashing does NOT change the ESN of the phone.
4) cricket has data plans, and a 3g network. they are a regional carrier so you will be roaming in certain areas of the country.
5) cricket, metropcs, and boost mobile are 3 excellent alternatives to high priced national carriers. boost is national but doesn't offer 3g data only 2g data.
uh, yeah. downfall: third party apps wont work Email will work if you purchase and application (i forgot the name). It will work. (it's really not constricting to not use third party apps. i still love the bb)
If the ESN is bad, the phone will ONLY work when flashed to cricket.
This is because the ESN is changed in the flashing process. I have a curve on cricket. $25.00 for picture messaging/sms/internet/everything. I love it. LOVE IT.
Definitely would reccomend.
Hiii i read that you have a blackberry curve thats flashed to cricket, and im thinking about doing the same thing. the person im gettin the phone from says they can give me everything with it: text, picture messaging, web, etc. i just wanted to hear your opinion on how you like it. does it work fine like a normal phone? or does it give you a hard time? please be honest and write me back on here, asap. thank you!!!
Well guys I looked over on Mobile-Files and found what I needed! Someone else has created some rough service books for cricket and the file is "cricket.ipd" Just search "Cricket Service Book" and look for the link.
My only problem is that I cannot receive MMS, nor will the Gmail or pretty much any app work.
Well I bought my BB8330 from a cell company on ebay who flashed it fully, I LUV THE CURVE 8330 its awesome, everything works fine. Text, MMS, and internet, as well as Facebook, myspace, ESPN, & Go2 work perfect.
There are just a couple I have been trying to get working that I dont know to much about like:
Blackberry messenger!
Google Maps!
And the GPS feature!
I dont know how to get those to work, any help from anyone would be appreciated.
