DFS - creators of CDMA Tools
Amoamare - repo location for the Comm center patch and Cricket bundle.
Rich Hathaway - also posted a repo locaton for a Comm center patch and misc postings on CDMA Gurus.
ljm715 - the original IPCC I used was from this poster (CDMA Gurus)
This is a work in progress. I have learned so much about this in the past few days that it is hard to weed out what didn't work from what did.
I will try to make this process painless for those who decide to go down this path in the future. The results are a beautiful, fully flashed iPhone 4.
NOTE: The instructions will cover the Verizon iPhone first because that is what I used. Sprint involves obtaining the SPC and probably saving the files in a different location (probably the Sprint folder).

In order to program the phone you will have to Jailbreak it. You need to be able to access system files and install other items to make a connection to DFS and load a PRL.
We've had success with untethered Jailbreak on 5.0.1 and tethered on 5.1.
Software Requirements:
CDMA Tool (by DFS)
- Download the demo. When you purchase the OTA flashing for the iPhone, it will upgrade you to the "Light" version.
iTunes
- Contains drivers that are required. You also need iTunes in general.
DiskAid
- Browsing iPhone Apps contents and transferring files to or from an iOS device has never been easier with DiskAid. It automatically discovers all Apps and allows to copy files, folders or even complete file trees!
File Requirements:
Custom IPCC for Cricket - This will be required for MMS. It should also contain a Cricket PRL which can be replaced. Becomes OPTIONAL if amoamare's Cricket Bundle is used (read in AMO section).
Recommended Downloads:
plist Editor
- In the Mac OS X and iPhone OS, property list files are files that store serialized objects. Property list files use the filename extension .plist. Mac OS X 10.2 introduced a new format where property list files are stored as binary files. Starting with Mac OS X 10.4, this is the default format for preference files.
These plist files are in the IPCC (Carrier Bundle) file. You might want to be able to peek inside those. To open an IPCC file, I changed the file extension to .zip and opened them up in Winrar. In Winrar you can edit the files inside the zip and save them back to the zip immediately. I feel like this causes the least modifications to the file structure of the IPCC or Carrier Bundle.
PRL - This is in the recommended downloads because the IPCC file will contain or should contain a valid PRL. You might want to choose your own though. Please visit the PRL thread: http://www.cricketusers.com/flashing...rl-thread.html
