I hope starting a new thread is the way to go on this...
I just updated to the new Sprint Official WM 6.1 ROM, and immediately could not connect to the internet.
I tried running the IOTA automatic data provisioning update (Start->Settings->Personal Tab->Phone->Services Tab->Internet->Get Settings->Start) and it failed repeatedly with a 1012 error. As was posted by others, I noticed that there was a "CurrentUserName" setting in Start->Settings->System->Device Information that had [email protected] where I would have expected to see [email protected] instead. (that would have been my Sprint provided email address) The first thing I tried was to go to the phone dialpad and dial ##3282# to start the EPST program and check my data provisioning settings (this requires that you know your MSL - Master Service Lock Code - if you are going to edit). UserName was blank there, so I tapped the blank setting and held down until an "EDIT" menu popped up. I tapped "EDIT" and changed it to the previously correct [email protected] value. After saving changes and another reboot, I still could not connect to the internet, run IOTA, and the "CurrentUserName" was still wrong. After searching through various settings looking for a way to change the currentusername, I installed PHM Registry Editor and searched again.
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/DIM there is a key "EnableCurrentUserName" and it was set to 1. I edited that and set it to 0, exited the Registry Editor, and restarted the device by holding the power button until it warned me about shutting down. I tapped "Yes" and it shut down and restarted. The "CurrentUserName" setting no longer appeared in the Device Information page. At this point I was able to run IOTA successfully and imediately after that I could use the internet and other data services.
I hope this helps someone. Sorry to be so long winded, but I was trying to answer as many "How? Where?" questions as I could as I went.
Briefly:
1. Using WM Registry Editor software, change HKLM/Software/OEM/DIM/"EnableCurrentUserName" from 1 to 0 then save changes and exit editor.
2. Dial ##3282# and edit UserName to correct [email protected] address. Device will reboot when you exit and save changes.
3. Run IOTA by going to Start->Settings->Personal Tab->Phone->Services Tab->Internet->Get Settings->Start
Thanks to all the others here who have helped me along the way,

anyone else know if this works?
i just flashed the new sprint rom and now the data connection does not work.. no internet.. ? I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and does this fix it?
After some more time with this ROM installed I have found that it is not neccessary to change the ##DATA# (##3282#) user name settings. Just change the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/DIM/EnableCurrentUserName value to zero, save changes and then you can run the IOTA update successfully (or at least I can).
I have found that I need to do this every time I do a hard reset of my device. I hope this helps someone else.

this did not work for me.. I Get error code 67
i started a new thread here........ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415666
so maybe someone will chime in... the ##3282# does not work for me at all.. you hit that on the dial pad and nothing happens... so i can not access that menu...
For now i went back to a OEM rom and called sprint and they got me working by doing a MASTER RESET... also ##3282# works on OEM roms but i think the file EPST.EXE is missing from the CUSTOM roms... any input would be great..
Not working for me.
i'm sure a master reset from within #778 or whatever would work but i don't feel like
putting in the data again.

I just upgraded to NFSFAN's latest ROM, everything went well but I can not get my internet to work. The one thing I did notice is under the services tab, internet is not an option. I loaded the dcd sprint carrier 20090714 cab am I missing something else?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Update:
Well I went back and flashed to the HTC 6.1 rom, then back to the 6.5 rom. That fixed my internet issues, but that option is still missing for me. Then after all of that my MSID was really screwed up. Everything seems to be good now.
please please help me clear the instructions
i have a horribly vague idea of what i need to do, to get the internet working again.
i already got the IOTA_1120 zip file in my cell but when i even try to open it up it says that there is no application that is related to to it, so i must start this application and open up the file from within. How do i do this? am I even doing what im supposed to??
Where exactly is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/DIM and how do i get there???
if you could please instruct me with simple stieps i would greatly appreciate it, simple being like start>program files> etc.
please help i am one step away from smashing this damm cell into the wall

The path of HKEY.... is actually on the registry. You need to use a registry editor (like PHM Regedit) to make the necessary changes to the registry. I would recommend you to re-read those instructions as they will not get any easier than that. Alternatively, if you are on Sprint's official rom and have absolutely no clue what you are doing, you can always call them and ask them for help.
As far as the IOTA zip file, if you cannot open it, that means that you do not have any program to extract from compressed files in your device. Your best bet is to transfer the file to the desktop and extract it there. Once you are done, place the extracted contents back in the device and run it in there.
I used to be with AT&T with my 8525 and then switch to Sprint which of course doesnt work with Sprint. So i ended up getting a Samsung Rant and dont exactly like the web browser so i was wondering exactly how i would go about sharing my data connection with the 8525 via blutetooth. I tried it once and this is what i did:
1. I went to settings and clicked on connection settings under the connections tab.
2. clicked on Add a new modem connection under "My ISP"
3. When i do that it asks to enter a name for the connection and to select a modem, so i select bluetooth as modem and click next.
4. Then it asks for the device the connection is on and i select my rant and hit next
5. then it asks exactly this and has a text box under it: "Enter the number exactly as it should be dialed. include extra numbers, such as an ouside line or credit card" didnt exactly know what to put here so i just put a few randon numbers in to see what next step would be
6. then it asks for user name password and domain....dont know what to put here so i just clicked finish
7. when i try to connect to it. it says connecting and a message on my rant says entering into bluetooth data mode, and the 8525 tries to connect for a minute and says connection failed and goes back to today screen.
So if anybody could tell me in detail what info it is that i need it would be great. and also under select modem drop-down box there is a selection called "cellular line(GPRS, 3G)" is it possible i could just put the info for the data plan in there and it connect to the sprint data plan if that is possible..if it is can you tell me in detail the information u need and how to do it......THANKS

Now scroll through the results. Find the "lock_screen_custom_m" item under name. Note the ID number to the left. Write the ID number down.
update secure set value='your custom message here' where _ID=NN;
NN is the ID number you wrote down.
.quit
Reboot your phone.
There you go, just in case anyone else is interested.

The easiest way to do it.
I'm going to try it when I get home from work. But is there another way to do it and keep the Carrier text?
If you want to keep the carrier text, just re-type in Sprint in the correct spot, or re-flash your rom without wiping.
There is a special secret dial code for invoking an extended Engineering Mode on the Oneplus 3:
*#36446337#
This opens up the menue of this extended EM.
It worked. But I screwed it up, so I cannot invoke it any more
I know, shame on me and all that stuff, this was totally my fault, as I played around with the apk, copied (not moved) it to the Download folder and tried to install it like a normal app.
Did not work.
But now also invoking the original extended EM no longer works ([email protected]).
I'd like to kindly ask the real experts among you:
1. What is it I screwed up with my stupid attempts to install this apk?
2. Is there any way to restore the information the dialer needs for parsing this secret code - other than performing a factory reset?
Or which is the information that got lost or overwritten?
3. All files in
/system/app/EngineeringMode
/system/app/EngSpecialTest
appear to have been unaffected.
(But could anyone please share the proper contents of these two folders, in case the extended EM works properly for him?)
4. Is there any way of invoking the extended EM directly working around doing it with the secret dialer code given above? e.g. by modifying the apk - admittedly in a more sophisticated way I attempted ?
I hope my question comes in the proper forum, don't want to cross-post it.
Thanks in advance!
Please Post Files as attachment or Link...
Would you be kind enough to post these files or a link to them? Unsure, but suspect a permissions issue or incorrect location of said files. I think you can connect to computer (with debugging enabled, & allowing access & allowing the rsa prompt also). You will need a command line/terminal depending on your desktop /laptop os. . I would say that you can use adb devices, then adb shell and finally am then the package name. Not sure how to format the activity manager command. Mayb am start - n xxx or am start xxx. Perhaps forum or Google can help. I kno that typing just am from the adb shell will list all possible options.
After logging in with either Waterfox or Chromium when I go to User Profile/User Details. It says:
"Our records show that you have already registered under the name of aileronster. If you have lost your password, click here. If you would like to modify your profile, click here."
Clicking the "Modify profile" just takes me back to the same message. Also I was having problems with Authenticate Email address didn't work and was giving the same message above I believe. So I waited a day to see if I would get a confirmation email with no luck
I've been reading for days on how to root/backup an LG K8 (2018) X210ULMG which doesn't seem to have proper support. So I have a long road ahead of me to figure out exactly how to create a custom TWRP, root the thing, RIP the ORIGINAL image off the phone (NOT Something similar.) So I need to be able to ask questions and get clarifications. So would really like to be able to make sure the whole site works for me, as I think I'm going to be hacking/researching this (hopefully carefully) for a while before I'm successful.
