[GUIDE] How to change the Sprint banner using CDMA workshop

[apristel]

What to change the Sprint banner to something else?


Well here is how.

This is a rough guide, maybe I'll get ambitious and spruce it up when I have some more time...

Install HTC Sync if you haven't already..
Get it here.
Application Upgrade - HTC Sync 2.0.33

Gonna need the HTC Diag drivers, least I did... these work fine:
RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting


Enter DIAG mode, dial ##diag#, let windows install the drivers...most likely it won't find the HTC DIAG drivers, but they are in the link above... get it installed.

Now in CDMA workshop, you really don't want to be effin' with stuff you aren't sure what it is... but we are here to change the banner right? riight so don't be changing anything else and you'll be a-ok.

Select your port, hit connect, hit read... goto the NAM tab...hit Read ...change the Banner from "Sprint" to whatever..hit "Write".... then you can reboot the phone and its done.

To find your port...

Select your port, hit connect then hit read. ( picture shows "Disconnect" only because I already pushed connect... )

Goto the NAM tab, hit read, change the banner, hit write. Reboot your phone

Enjoy!

Looks kind of scary but not as scary as a full root method. Good work, thanks!

Does this work to turn off that annoying jingle when you boot up?

Well I tried this out, but the CDMAWorkshop software will NOT write my new banner... its gives me some kind of message (not exact wording) "unable to write in CDMAWorkshop Demo Mode)

IT seems I have a demo version of the program ? ...

That's cause you downloaded from their site right? That's a demo. You need to google it to find the right stuff...

Mine worked just fine. Thank you!

do i enter this on the phone?

how do i install the drivers, i opened the rar file and it was nothing but a folder and a couple files like notes, but nothing to install?

i downloaded ver 2.1.1 does it matter?

@Ilya

Link for non-demo download?

 

[mrkauffman]

nvm. got a working version with no trojans. this is a neat little program with a lot of way to f*ck up your phone, lol

 

[NorthBayX415]

^^^ can you hook it up, i just downloaded a ver. 2.7 but had a trojan FML

 

[RaiseUp151z]

So does this make the EVO have abilities to make Islands & then transforms to jet & flies me away???

 

[RestivoBC]

I keep finding trojans as well ... does anyone have a good DL link?

 

[thisisepic]

Worked great, thanks!

Just Google the software and make sure its 2.7 or above.

 

[Rdot9]

can someone explain how to manually install the software for us phone noobs?

 

[marctronixx]

keep in mind this site does not allow the use of warez or posting links to such sites. kindly ask this off site.

I got it to work. Took me forever to figure out that my dumb ass had an old version of workshop, but I got it.

 

[El_Diablo]

Anyone found a set of drivers for Win7 x64? I tired the set from XDA and they don't work.

 

[NorthBayX415]

I still dont get this, im going to try this 1 more time in 30 minutes before i give up. im about to install cdma workshop 2.7
