Help me i bouth an alltel ppc 6800 phone on e-bay. I cannot get it program to get it activated..They tell me it has sprint pcs software. The person who i bought it from did not tell me that. he said all i need is to program...How can i do that.

the only way to unlock the device is do a hard reset on it :\

Dear you should install its software.

try going to settings, then the system tab at the bottom and then click remove programs, select the programs then soft reset

sprint sent out a software update for that issue. Call sprint they will be glad to send the update to your phone to upload..

Yes, and No. Both companies want to see their cases on each phone (us cellular is actually blank). Alltel maintains a list of ESNs of all the phones they bought and sold in database. If your ESN aint there, they probably won't activate it.

But, the software for alltel versionof PPC6800 is located at htcamerica.com

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/activesync45.mspx#download You can download it there and just install it and plug your device in and you will have to go through the setup for your phone.

PPCKitchen will help you build a complete Operating System, you can base it on verizon there, many precautions need to be taken to Flash a phone with a different rom, i suggest http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=33857&highlight=Titan+PPCKitchen+guide

goodluck

**** junk junk ****,

Hold down the right and left soft key while pressing the hard reset button at the bottom of the phone.. then it will ask you do you want to master reset the phone .. click yes and it will rest ... the only problem with this is that it will delete all of your info. on the phone.. ring tone and # and even pic's and video's.

I had same problem with my PPC so I tried hard reset didn't help, PCS support did hard reset and nothing, same problem so what I did is insert that headset plug in and out couple of times that fix the problem but any time I use my wired headset problem comes back.
I realized that the problem was in the 2.5 jack it self, I took it to Sprint store, left it for a hour when I am back the tech guy said that they replace my phone with new one, oh well this is third phone in less then 14 mos.
But anyway now it works just fine so I try to use Bluetooth headpiece much is possible. Waiting for my 2 year contract to end so I can get PPC-6800 or something better, had too many problems with this phone. I like the phone but it was freezing up on me every day and tech support didn't do s!#@!#t for me to fix it until this problem comes up, I'm kind of glad it did :-) in the way.
