Alltel PPC6800 on Verizon

[acidone]

Buddy switching to ATT giving me his Alltel branded PPC6800 if I flash the dcd rom, 3.35 radio rom and vzw carrier cab should it work on verizon? Are there any other hurdles I might encounter?

Thanks,

i doubt you will get verizon to activate it since it isnt one of there esn's, thats one thing i like about alltel they will try and activate any esn you give them they dont care where it came from

Thought I would update for everyone: I got an Alltel PPC 6800 on VZW. Here's how:

1) Logged into VZW My Business Account
2) Account Maintenance
3) Step 1: Enter cellphone number, click search
4) Action: Activate Equipment
5) Enter HEX ESN from Alltel phone
6) Ran through http://ppc.stoleyour.net/xv6800/ instructions to update radio, rom and carrier cab (thanks to Lord Cruik Shank nice howto)
7) Ran through http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20090 Steps 5 - 7 to load the DMU Key with QPST (thanks to drellisdee)
8) ##778 Edit Security HDR Password to HEX ESN

Everything seems to be working I haven't tested the speed but EV stays on the screen. I also haven't test GPS yet. Will report back later.

Wow that is crazy......I can not wait to hear more...I had no idea that was possible....I did not realize alltel used GSM I thought they were CDMA. Does that phone have a sim card?

Ahhh.

Major USA CDMA Providers: Sprint, VZW, Alltel, Cricket that i can think of.
Major USA GSM Providers: T-Mobile, ATT ahhhh not sure

Not to mention VZW just purchased Alltel last month. But really you could can use any CDMA Titan (6800) on any CDMA carrier, if you can get the ESN on the network, and the right programming.

CDMA is more popular in the USA because the coverage area is better than GSM. Although I wish it was the opposite way around. GSM providers are alot more open on the device side.
