[Thunderbolt General] gomobility:
I will give a description of exactly what I do for every thunderbolt I do using CDMAWS, and this works for me everytime, voice, sms and 1x(except for one where I made a small error)

First off, dish out the $100 for CDMAWS, it's well worth it and they deserve it.

You will need a 'dummy' sim card, but take sim card out before starting

This is for Page Plus.

1-Hard/factory reset the phone

2-plud phone into computer

3-##3424 and select 'Reboot (Modem+Diag)'

4-When phone is done rebooting, open CDMA WS, find what port the phone is connected to, (device manager/Ports (COM & LPT))

5-IN CDMA WS select the appropriate port from the drop down menu and select connect.

6-In the Security tab, select SPC/User lock and send SPC"000000"

7-In the Other tab, in the PRL box, select 'write', and navigate to where you have a saved version of the PRL, select the PRL and press open, select OK in the dialog box, then, still in the PRL box, select NAM2 and write again.

8-Select the Main tab, select CDMA-2 from the drop down menu, in the R-UIM box, switch the config: to NV only, write to phone, select nam2 from the bottom and write to phone again.

9-Press disconnect at the top in CDMA WS, Reboot the phone using the power button, (stay in modem/diag)

10-When the phone reboots, connect, usually through the same port as the first time, Security tab, send SPC "000000" again

11-Main tab, select CDMA, beside that NAM1 and then select 'Read' (2 buttons over from nam drop down)

12-In the Phone Number box MCC-310 MNC-00 MIN-your MIN (sometimes different from MDN, get this from page plus if you don't know it)

13-Don't change True IMSI, go down to DIR_Number and DIR_PCS and put in your phone number or MDN.

14-write to phone

15-Select Nam2, then Read and repeat 12, 13 and 14

16-Select EVDO in the CDMA drop down menu, PPP User and HDR User enter yourphonenumber@vzw3g.com, password for both is vzw. Teh. NAI yourphonenumber@dun.vzw3g.com.

17-Click on M.IP profiles

18-NAI enter yourphonenumber@vzw3g.com, T.Nai enter yourphonenumber@dun.vzw3g.com, HA shared secret and AAA shared are both vzw.

19-make sure the P. HA address is 255.255.255.255

20-Close that window, write to phone, select NAM2 and write to phone again.

21-Disconnect from CDMA WS, go to your phone, make sure the modem diag screen is up, if not, dial ##3424 to get back to the screen, once there tap menu, select 'reboot to enable embedded mode'

22-while phone is off, insert a dummy sim card, power phone on.

23-Make a test call, you should hear the "welcome to your prepaid wireless service..."

24-after the test call, open the dialer, ##7764726, enter 000000 for the password, select NAM CDMA Settings, scroll down to Home SID/NID #1, change the first number to your page plus sid, (get from page plus), leave the other one at 65535, tap menu and commit to changes.

25-after phone powers on, give it a second, the 1x data should pop up, if not, you can try the *#*#4636#*#* and change the radio to cdma only, I have never had to do this, the 1x works fine for me without changing it.

and that should be it, I have done 10 thunderbolts using this exact method and they all work with 1x, I have yet to be able to get 3g working, I even got one working with no sim card in it, which I have not been able to do again.

The 'dummy' sim card should be from another carrier besides Verizon, it will keep trying to activate through the sim card and confuse the phone, so use at&t, t-mobile, cingular, whichever. You will have a "Sim card is not recognized" error message every time the phone wakes up, but it does not affect the phones functionality.

Any questions, please post or message me, I can also post the 2 versions of the page plus PRL if any one can't find it through google.
