Sprint to Alltell Flash PLEASE HELP! I've Already Bricked one phone.
First off let me say Hello. It is imparitive that I get a phone flashed to Alltel, my V3a messed up and my friends hooked me up with three different V3m's. The problem though is that they are VZW,Cing, and Sprint and I am on Alltel. I already have bricked the VZW because I didn't back anything up and also because I believe it's MEID (won't take any flash I give it 91% of v1.09 was the best). So I am politely asking if anyone here can help me with the prepwork so that I can have a fully functional phone again.
I think the Sprint will be my best bet as it is fully functional. I'm not sure if the Cingular is even a V3M. It is one of those pay as you go phones and it has a memory chip in it but the phone doesn't work if you take the chip out. Anyway any info would be great. Thanks
First off what is wrong with

Second FYI the Cingular phone is NOT a v3m. Cingular never sold that model phone, being the v3m is CDMA and Cingular ( ie no AT&T) is a GSM carrier. That being said the phone will be no good to you.
On the VZW v3m that's a nogo also if it uses an MEID number and not an ESN. My guess is it is a MEID phone being that is had the .01.19.09 firmware on it.
Your best bet may be the Sprint v3m flashing it with the Alltel v3m file. However I know some people have had issues flashing those to Alltel. Here is a link to read over that explains the steps in flashing a Sprint v3m over to Alltel or Vivo.

Sprint V3m to Alltel
Posted: Wed, 07/16/2008 - 09:11 by Sneakers O TooleI'm glad you answered, I've started reading you posts in different forums when I was having trouble with the VZW and your the reason I'm not still trying to flash it.
I liked that walk through the only thing that I don't understand is this:
"8. Enter the ##132074# menu and record your MIN and MDN! if you forget this step you can't get your phone to wor after the flash untill yuo call customer service and beg for your MIN and MDN".
I tried typin it into my phone like the ##33284 thing but I didn't get anything.
All of that is what I have been doing though but what has me is in the guide I had been using it listed like four files you had to backup and like 10 to twenty different seems. And stated that your phone would not work if you didn't. Is this something I'm going to have to do?
Also my V3a got water damaged and there is a short in it somewhere. The outside screen doesn't work and it does weird stuff like turning off on it's own, mid call, while it's charging (which has caused me to be late for work Phone=alarm clock) also I have to charge the battery twice a day I've used a few different batteries and it seems to wear them all out quickly. But other than that I Love My Razr and plan to take it apart an try to fix it, but first I need to get another phone.
Thanks

Do you think there will be a chance for that VZW if some MEID firmware gets leaked or should I just part it out?
yea flashing the VZW would
