Dear AK Singhji, I've been trying to get my 8130 working but am at my wits end, here's the problem - I got a very cheap Sprint 8130, so I followed your method and got the SPC, changed it to 000000 and then
- flashed with the reliance PRL. it now shows network bars (no roaming signal) although the phone 'status' screen still shows 'connected network as 'Sprint PCS' :-(
- got MEID registered with Reliance (the ESN is now the MEID too)
- did the ##000000 thing, put in MDN as the directory number
- put MIN in IMSI field (had activated the MDN on another android phone with RUIM, got the MIN from there)
- put new Akey in decimal, phone accepted it

I think those were pretty much the important steps, but still the phone wont work - I get "call customer care to resume service" message on the 8130.

what am I doing wrong? Is the reliance PRL not taking?

I'm totally at my wits end, please help.
