    So i just bought this new phone and i absoultely love it. I mean its nothing big, just an lg scoop, but the problem is its a sprint phone and i need to flash it to alltel since i have alltel. Now i know its possible because i read it on the internet and the esn is clean, however the people at alltel wont do it and i have already gave them a piece of my mind so they know not to mess with me. So if you can please help me out. Its been my second phone and i really dont wanna sell it. THANKS!:O

    I actually don't believe there is an economical way to fully flash the scoop to alltel. The monster file is just not out there for free on the net. You might be able to find someone with the right stuff needed but it will be hard to do. And they also likely charge for it. Better bet is to either use the scoop as a sprint on alltel for just voice and basic sms. Or sell it and buy an alltel one. LGs are not as simple to flash as motorolas.

    If you're so intent on flashing your phone, and you're not worried about the cost or other risks, try this:

    Flash Cell phone to Cricket, Metro PCS, Sprint, Verizon, Alltel

    I found it by simply Googling it. TRY THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK. If your phone is killed from being flashed, that's it. It's GONE. There are NO guarantees when flashing phones.

    Yea, I'm sure the folks at Alltel are quaking at the thought of messing with you. PUH-LEASE. Way to alienat the...WAY TO GO! Boo-ya.

    However, they won't do it for you. You can try but likely what you'll ending up is frying and ruining, FOREVER, the phone that you just paid money for.

    Right. Sell it and go buy an Alltel one. If you're lucky you can get $200 bucks or whatever it is outright on alltel.com.
