[Epic 4G General] DX///M:
trying to flash Samsung Nexus S 4G for Sprint (crespo4G) for PPC

So some background on my case.

I was using Moto Droid X (DX) on Verizon contract; NOW I am using that DX on PagePlus (with a different # though) for over half a year; I am trying to program a Samsung Nexus S 4G (NS4G) to use my current phone # and PPC plan. Simply saying, I'm trying to flash a Sprint smartphone to P+, with a P+ # and donor phone ready. Am I understanding it right?

So, questions first:

1) after programming manually, does the phone start to have voice and text right away, after say, one reboot, or do you guys need to wait say 15 mins or longer?

2) for my case, a valid service w/ PPC on a DX, is calling CSR for ESN swap for my phone # necessary for the program to be working? because from guides, most OPs said, works right away, ESN swap can go later.

Then, my story: I've tried several version of guides JUST trying to get Talk&Text, and maybe 1x data on the NS4G; but never got success.

All the prerequisites are done properly:

- Both phones were reverted to rooted stock rom for DIAG mode and other hidden menu to be available

- Drivers for donor phone (DX) and target phone (NS4G) installed properly, and phones are recognized smoothly

- MDN/MIN/SID/MSL(or say SPC) got successfully. NS4G was unlocked (MSL set to 000000)

- QPST, DFS, and cdma workshop 3.9.0 installed

- while trying to program NS4G, the DX was turned off and the battery was pulled out.

Program steps were followed correctly. I mean, for voice&text, it's pretty much just replacing MDN/MIN/SID wherever it needs to go to in the software, say QPST.

Results were all the same

- calling *228, the program was stuck and never got me a chance to dial "1";

- calling *22890, "unable to program your phone";

- calling any local #, "welcome to verizon wireless, and your call is transferred to an external operator ...";

- calling 611, saying "welcome.. please enter the verizon wireless # you are calling about"

- texting any valid mobile #, "failed"

Effects I've tried:

- replacing RPL lists, one from OP, one from DFS's server (once you register for free); one from kittywireless; and some version from nowhere; although I wanted to find 53022, which is my latest updated version on my DX (after calling *228, then 2 to update my roaming capability)

- programming the phone using QPST, DFS, and cdma workshop (least success, but the other two worked flawlessly.)

- I also have tried both versions of SID #, one is the one on my DX w/ PPC (of which the area code is another state, not local), read out by DFS/QPST; one is the one most close to my zip (google "howardforums SID page plus verizon" - I can't post external links yet, f!)

Well, after reading so many threads, half on howardforums and half here, I couldn't figure out why there's issue. Following guides to program NS4G to get 3G data is fine, but I just haven't got my chance to do that.

GUESS THE ABOVE QUOTES ARE THE ULTIMATE RESOLUTION? I guess you, breakinyoankelz, you called PPC from another phone, not your donor phone (droid eris) after you programmed your target phone (epic 4g, i guess), right?
