Greetings.

I am trying to flash my new-to-me SPH-L600 Sprint Galaxy Mega to the ESN on my Boost Mobile account, which has an old grandfathered plan of 35 cents a day for unlimited 3G access.

I have the phone in diag mode, and accessible in QXDM (v03.09.19). I send the 2012112120131219 password, it responds that the password is correct, as expected.

Then I issued the command to write the MEID, which was also accepted.

To check my work, I issued the command to read back the MEID. Here it should show the one I just entered - But instead, it shows the original MEID.

Disconnecting and rebooting the phone and viewing the MEID through settings shows the original MEID is still there.

What am I doing wrong?


Thanks.
