I've got voice and texting working, I believe. But I can't get data to work. Can anyone help me out, please?
[EDIT] A little for info. I keep getting the error code 67 registration failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect, or something. Saying invalid username/password. I have changed the username to my Boost Mobile one. But I don't know anything about changing the password.
Have you tried doing a profile update, thats how the fone gets its network access info and if the the fone is linked to your boost mobile account it should provide the username and password.
PS. What does the fone show up as if you look on your account online. Just curious.

I try and do a profile update, but it says the update has failed please try again later. I don't think it will work since the Evo is not actually supposed to be on Boost Mobile?
This is exactly what you need to do.. The phone that you cloned, to get the evo on the network.. You need to get the Shared AAA Secret and HA Shared Secret PAssword. I had this same problem with my EVo when cloning it with the samsung moment.. THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED! TRUST ME.. I spent months trying to figure out my problem and found it to be this.. This is the only method that can get you up and running. The HA Shared Secret is in Hex Format.. ill see if i can find that same guide that i used and post it later

Thanks, but I don't even see an option anywhere to set those kind of passwords. Even in QPST I can't find it.
Alright, I found all the options to set those kind of passwords. But I can't find the passwords on the Boost Mobile phone to set them as. It's a Motorola W385.

Just do a ##rtn# and reset it. That's what I did after I put my evo on boost. It did the hands free activation and everything. Try that

IT WORKS!!
you are not getting 3G speeds if you just do a ##rtn# reset only 1x speeds. you have to get profile 0 user names and passwords from a incognito in order to get evdo rev a speeds or a rant to get slower evdo rev 0 speeds. to check dial ##33284# on your evo and go to data status you will see either evdo if you have 3G or 1xrtt if you have regular non 3g data speeds. just cause the 3G signal pops up does not mean you have 3G

Your data isn't working because you don't have the AAA password. The meid doesn't matter because the evo uses the ESN. Get the AAA password and you'll be set.

Hi, I am currently in bermuda and I am stuck using my iphone... I would rather use my EVO. The CDMA network in bermuda is called Cellularone Bermuda.
www(dot)cellularone(dot)bm
I am asking what do i need to get my EVO working on that network.
it's 800mhz.
What other information what I have to find out and how could can i put it on their network.
Thanks.
bump? halp
Call them up and ask them to change your ESN. You'll need to get that from inside the phone under the battery (IIRC). There's a chance they won't do it because it's not their phone, but that usually is only between Verizon and Sprint. Smaller CDMA markets will sometimes do it.
ok, thanks! and what do i do with the ESN?
anymore help?

You give your local carrier the ESN and ask them to activate it. They may not be able to.
if they add your esn, thats all youll need (that and a reboot) theyll activate, youll reboot, and you should be all set.
ok, so i just went there and the phone seemed like it accepted my ESN and it made a "conversion" of it or something so it SEEMED like it was on the network but it stayed roaming.. i reread and she didnt restart is that imperative to it switching networks?
Also is the EVO locked to sprint? or is just as simple as an ESN? IF so do i just put a new rom to unlock it? which rom?
still looking for answer
After they get your ESN swapped over, you should do a factory reset ( you need your MSL for that, lookup those procedures).
THEN. update your Profile and PRL. You may get by without the factory reset if you just go do the Profile and PRL updates.

Ok So I call sprint and get my MSL.
How exactly do i do a profile and PRL updates?
hey thanks for reply. So i went back to the company got my esn switched over again and tried the prl and profile update that didnt work. So i did a factory reset and tried again it didnt work for some reason it keeps trying to connect to sprint network. the customer rep said the phone moved over to the network sucessfully. any clue? i got error 67 and error 1012 the second time. it's just keeping the sprint information in
So, Got a sprint EVO for cheap. Sprint had the ESN flagged on sprint network because the owner of the phone's account hasn't been paid. Sold the phone to me, I restored it to factory default, running latest stock 2.2.
Steps taken to get to where I am now:
Used CDMA workshop (licensed 3.5.5) to read the SPC code, rewrote the spc code to 000000. I put an Alltel PRL file on the sd card, same one as my mother's Alltel Hero. Rooted the phone using revoked windows app, replaced the EPST.apk with the older version to allow ##775# (prl change), applied my PRL. Activated the phone on alltel, no problem at all getting it activated.
Call text working great... THEN... using CDMA Workshop, in the EVDO tab (similar function in QPST would be the PPP tab) and entered the HDR user name/pass, in alltel's case, UM is [email protected]/alltel and AN is [email protected]/HEXESN. Set under M.IP to have Simple IP only (read that this will fix the "data call failure" errors) Set profile 0 as active and changed the values to what looks to be the same from the Alltel Hero of my mothers only with my cell number in the fields. Set all nam values such as channels, MCC, etc.. correct, flashed. I then edited the telephony.db to alltel's MMS settings.
Phone's current state, what works, what doesnt..
3G is working great, MMS works perfectly, calling is perfect, SMS is perfect...
1X doesn't work AT ALL:
if I enter an area i KNOW 3G doesn't exist, it doesnt switch to 1X like my eris that i programmed to alltel did, just drops data completely if there's no 3G...
I don't seem to get the Data Call Failure message much at all up until I try to run the "wireless tether" app, it pops up like CRAZY and 3G disconnects every time it pops up.
Phone says I'm roaming constantly, I know I have the latest smartphone PRL for my area and MCC codes etc in the nam are set EXACT to my mothers htc alltel hero and hers doesnt report roaming at all... what gives??? Maybe this is the cause of all my problems...
##DEBUG# screen > EVDO, at the bottom, says AUTHENTICATED and I have an IP address, stays solid like that in a 3g area.
Anyone like to help me out? What values do I may have incorrect for 1X to entirely not work at all but 3G works just fine??.. Being that 1X doesnt work, it seems to cause issues sometimes initializing a connection because it seems like 3G goes dormant/sleep after a while and maybe relies on 1X to be connected to keep a constant connection to the network. And.. this whole Data call failure thing is just obnoxious? Anyone truly find the result to this? Obviously has something to do with sprint, 4G is turned off, all the sprint .APK's are removed.
Being that the phone still has sprint options in Mobile Network Settings such as "Roaming" "Data roaming" etc.. could this be causing problems? How do I go about removing ALL of sprints network options on this phone???
thanks a whole lot... excited to see this phone working on the alltel network, would like to press on and get it working flawlessly.
Hey Steve I remember you from over at HoFo. Your Eris info helped me out getting some of my own issues worked out. I am still interested in what work you did to get your mms working in and out. I looked at the telephony.db once but didn't place a lot of effort in to it. So as it stands I get incoming but unable to send mms. So any insight from you would be greatly appreciated. But I will try and see if I can help you with what you have going on.
First I found that programming the Evo was more of a pain than when I did the HTC DInc on Alltel. In my area PRL 31005 is pushed to Alltel smart phones. It is the same PRL I used on the DInc with no issues. The Evo would insist that I was roaming with it. I switched to a non-divested PRL(30057) and haven't had an issue since. Google "answerman prl" for the download for Alltel PRLs. I have rocked with that PRL for over 3 months now. My roaming option is set for automatic in the mobile network settings and the only other thing I have checked there is data roaming, which I can disable with no problem.
Now if you go back to your HoFo thread I wrote that when I got the Evo I only had 1X data. It wasn't until after I went back over your thread and some other stuff that I managed to get 3G working. I used CDMA workshop(3.6.0 Licenced) And wrote the same things as you did. Only I have Mobile + Simple IP set and profile 1. Now I will say this. First I tried to set to profile 0 but when going into ##DATA#, the phone would always insist it wanted to use profile 1 even after having previously writing the data. So I created another profile in CDMA workshop, duplicated the data I had for 0 and made 1 active instead of 0. I had also previously never had issues with the "Data call failure" until the past month or two. After I rooted and moved from the stock rom I used CM6 for a good while even flashing nightlies and never had a problem. I only moved back to a Sense based rom when I was trying to troubleshoot an issue where my data would disconnect and would not re-establish for several minutes or until after a reboot. I was using juice defender at the time and incidently this was also around the time I updated my radio/PRI etc. So when I went to a random Sense rom this error message threw me off and I was sure something was wrong with the phone. But I have seen plenty of posts about it so idk. I run Myn's Warm 2.2 now. On rls1 I would get the DCF's frequently but not so much on rls 2, maybe once in a blue moon. I don't use juice defender anymore and I have also stopped using Set CPU as it conflicts with my current kernel anyway. *shrug* So no idea what truely makes the phone happy and not give me that error as much.
Hope this helps you.
Wow, that was a MESSAGE.
Thanks a whole lot for that.
For MMS:
When I use anycut to access the APN's on my Evo it shows it shows no apn's at all. I didn't add any and left it alone. Now...
I have attached the telephony.db file I edited with Root Explorer and SQL Lite editor. If you open the file in the editor, you'll see what I changed... It was simply an APN specifically for MMS use, changed it to alltel's values and.. BAM, perfect MMS.
Path:
/data/data/com.android./providers/telephony/databases/
Permissions are to be set to
USER: READ CHECKED - WRITE CHECKED
GROUP: READ CHECKED - WRITE CHECKED
No other's checked.
After replacing the telephony.db file, no reboot required, you should be set to send and receive MMS without any issues at all. If it fails, restart the phone or force quit messages and relaunch.
I will try that PRL you mentioned above, I am also on 31005... reports as the same PRL on my mother's alltel hero though, hmm.. doesn't make sense of why my phone still says I'm roaming.
I will also play with cloning profile 0 and profile 1 and switch back to sim+mobile IP mode...
Thread moved to Q&A.
Thanks I will give this a roll when I get home this evening. I hope that some of what I've given you will be helpful. I've been enjoying the phone and I will enjoy it even more I know once I get the MMS thing cleared up. Keep me up to date on what's going on.
Played with everything, did exactly as you said, still no 1X, if I go to ##data and tell it to use CDMA only (turn EVDO off), it just goes to no data at all while my Eris would just stick to 1x in that mode.
odd.
Can someone explain WHAT it is that allows a handset to receive the HA/AAA shared keys when a *228 activation is requested?
We all know that taking for example a Sprint phone and applying an alltel PRL to the radio ... that when activating it WILL NOT receive the HA/AAA keys for data...
Is it the AKEY ? Is it something else in the memory?
An old PPC6800 I have that was SPRINT.. it was a bugger getting data to work, just would NOT receive the HA/AAA keys or anything when *228ing the phone, as soon as I applied the Alltel Rom with the Alltel NV items, it activated without an issue and received all the correct NV items for data and all, worked perfect. How can we do this with the latest smartphone?...
Is it possible I can clone the NV items from my mother's HTC Alltel Hero and write them to my sprint Evo ?
What do you guys think?
Steve check your PM
I never had to do this myself so don't know how applicable it is.
I installed the file and assigned the permissions, now app just blows up when I try to send a pic msg. Any ideas?
STRANGE !
What messaging app are you using?
I am running stock latest OTA... So all the stock apps are installed, minus all the sprint stuff and a few other htc pre-loaded software I have taken out with root explorer.
Should be working perfectly. I have no idea what the deal is.
Did you go to Messages>menu>settings>connection settings and see if the values have changed?
I use Chomp SMS but it did the same with the native messaging app as well.
That's really strange. MMS still online and working flawlessly for me on alltel.
Phone still says I'm roaming though. Mother's HTC Alltel Hero in the same town is not roaming, both flashed with the same PRL and the NAM info looks identical in cdma workshop.
You sure your APN lists are empty? Mine is, no APN's at all in the APN viewer.
Has anyone had any luck getting data working with an Epic on Virgin Mobile USA? I got voice and text working, using my old Intercept as a donor phone (I care not for MMS and voicemail), but try as I might, I just can't seem to get data going.
One thing of note is the howto I read that said to run requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof in QXDM, then run requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof 1. When I ran it the first time, the AAA SS was blank, and the second time it wasn't. Mean anything? Also, the length states that the HA is 7 hex digits long, but the 7th is blank. Do I put that in QPST?
Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
I have an EVO on Boost and I updated the PRL and since I get no service at all. I have flash like 30 different prls and same thing. I did a bunch of searching on the issue and cant come up with anything. What do I do?? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Ummm...try the EVO thread.

Well, which PRL are you on now?
Do you get an error?
If so, can you be more specific about it?
Are you sure roaming is disabled and set to home only?
I learned I had to re-apply all my settings but now I cant seem to get 3g working at all and everything is set up right just as before..??

Okay, I have a GS3. I swapped the ESN (Evo 4G) and now I can't get 3G
The only time I have 3G is on a stock Rom with the MD4 Modem but even than it feels like 1x.
I've tried all the radios, with no luck including the MD4 one. I've been trying to get it working the past two days now with no luck.

Im not on sprint, but what does it show as the Mobile network type under Settings: About Device: Mobile network type?
I was messing with my phone and had changed the settings in ##DATA#
I was getting 1x only so I had to change the HDR/1x Selection under Data: Others. Hybrid works the best for me, but you could try changing to "LTE + CDMA + EVDO Mode. When I selected CDMA only then it only got 1x and not full EVDO/3g.
If that's not it did you have to enter the HA & AAA secret keys to get data to work?

Do ##data# on dialer

type in msl
enter in 6 digit MSL
**To Enter HDR/1x Selection Stated Above**
Select Other > Select HDR/1X Selection > Select Mode( Try LTE + CDMA + EvDO, if that doesnt work try hybrid or global mode)
Just browse the data menu but do not touch korean mode ever.
for HA and AAA Keys noted aboved its within the Data Profile in the menu of MSL,
let us know if this helps,going to be honest I am a noob but I can research these things as I have been doing so passively trying to fix my own problem
Thanks for the help guys. I was messing around the other day in the settings and somehow wiped my username and MSID. I got the username back, now I'm trying to get the MSID so i can get my phone back on Sprint. I"m an idiot sometimes... lol
As soon as I get back on Sprint I'll let you know how it works out!
Thanks again
To get msin you can just do phone activation through menu and if that doesn't work a sleight tech can provide a new one
