[Q] roam hack - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I have a few questions.
1) if someone were to use the roam hack what does it do exactly?
2) can you go on another network like Verizon?
3) is it a bad idea to do something like this?
I'm just curious, and would also like to try roaming on Verizon because I feel they'd give better speed where I live. Any help is much appreciated..

there is a roam hack that forces roaming instead of bouncing back and forth.
it is a new phone.apk file.
i THINK it is Calkulin who has it.
check his ROM thread in the development section and ask him for it.
his ROM has it built in i believe.
i will say this is fooked my phone and i had to restore from a NAND backup, but he fixed it and got it working. but it is still flakey somewhat last i tried it.

You don't get unlimited stuff when roaming, right?

Is there a way to force roaming?

I'm tired of weak signal areas where I slip in and out of roaming, is there a forced roaming app or some type of hack/mod where I can make my phone roam?
You have two choices:
1) Load a Verizon PRL. This involves a good amount of trickery (I haven't tested it myself) but there's instructions around here. This will get your 3G data as well.
2) Get a ROM such as CyanogenMod which has a forced-roaming option. Open up Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile networks and in there will be an option to select what group (Home Only, Affiliated Networks, Automatic. Automatic is default) of networks to choose. By selecting Affiliated Networks, that will enable forced-roaming, but will only give you 1X data, not 3G.
For calls, Twitter, and push notifications, the 1X data roaming will suffice, especially if you want to switch back and forth (ie, the bad signal is only at work, but you have good reception everywhere else). Personally, I switch to Affiliated Networks when I'm at work, as getting calls and texts is a lot more important for my job than just being able to download a webpage faster.
Damn so I'd have to switch to a ****ty rom to get the option?
That sucks, I don't know how to change the prl so I'm stuck

A ****ty ROM? That's kind of harsh dude... i thought that someone had an app that did the same thing as the affiliated network switch in CM6?

"****ty ROM"? Have you even tried CM6 Final? Furthermore, go screw yourself with a rusty rake. Nobody's going to help an ungrateful prick.

Changing the PRL isn't actually that hard. You download the PRL file and just put it on your memory card. Then you download the application called "MSL Reader" from the market and it will tell you your 6 digit MSL code. Then you go to your phone dialer and type in ##PRL# and it will prompt you to put in your MSL. Then you click on the 00001.prl file (which is the only one there) and then press the menu button and then press commit and you're done.
Here is the original thread I got this from.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073&highlight=evdo+sprint
If dialing ##PRL# doesn't do anything you need to swap out the EPST.apk file with a EPST.apk file that will support these dialer codes. Here is that thread too.

That requires that EPST even works for your ROM, and unless you have the ever-so-wonderful battery and CPU hogging Sense UI, it won't.

I called it ****ty because it doesn't even have sense and I guess I can adjust to not having it, but the 4G doesn't work!

Actually I'm very grateful that you took the time to help, didn't mean to offend, I apologize if you took it that way (now that I re-read my comment, I see why you took it that way) but I was just frustrated because I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, either go through with a procedure I'm not comfortable with OR flashing a ROM that (and this is the whole reason I called it ****ty) doesn't have sense nor does it even have 4G - one of the MAIN REASONS FOR ME BUYING THE PHONE! Understand my dilemma?
I use 4G regularly, so CM6 is a huge no-no for me.
once again, I apologize if you took offense to my comment.

Yes If you have root there is now. Roam Control on the market by Mr Greg. 5 bucks think. I rooted my EVO yesterday Stock 2.2. Then I bought roam control. I can verify this works on the stock rom.

Did the same thing few days ago, works great! Few places I go that sprint signal is very low and drains battery, switching to roam on verizon makes the battery last a lot longer.

Roam Control not working anymore? :(

Ever since eclair, I've been using the Roam Control app alot on my Epic. There are certain areas that I am in daily that just get spotty/no signal at all. I flash ROMs quite often, and one of the ROMs I flashed in the past killed the Roam Control app. I'm not sure if flashing Froyo was the reason, but I do know that it worked perfectly in the past with this phone.
When I press roam only, it doesn't do anything. It asks for SU permission but the signal bars stay the same. I don't lose signal all together or roam-- this app has no effect on me anymore.
What is the problem here? I am using the latest version of the app (1.5.4) and if it means anything, I'm on ACS' wonderful ROM- 1.1.1.
Does this happen to anyone else, and is there any way to fix it or any other way to force roam?
Thanks!
I had mine break before as it kept telling me to purchase it even though I had already. After numerous attempts of clicking roam, switching devices in settings and trying to connect, uninstalling and reinstalling, and reboots it randomly started working again. Sorry that's not much help but maybe one of those techniques will work for you I wish I knew what exactly fixed but I was doing everything that I don't remember what it finally was, sorry.
I now just use a verizon prl instead so I can get 3g and not just the 1x roam control only allows. Good luck. If I think of anything about exactly what I did I'll let u know.

How do you use the Verizon PRL?
Roam control actually works much better for me now the I'm on the ee03 modem
Hmm...theres something wrong on my end then? I tried installing the Roam Control before anything else and it still doesn't work.
Are there any other apps that force roam?
i intsalled roam control and it did nothing. i set everything up and when i manually set it to roam it does nothing. i set it to auto and move to an area i know i get terrible signal and nothing. odd seeing as it has worked for so many.
In my house I get 1 bar on sprint towers, and when I turn on roam control I get 5 on verizons, Ive been using it since February and I believe twice it would kinda wig out and say no signal for about 10 mins or so no matter what I did, I believe it was some kind of auto update or perhaps just resetting itself? Anyways it always came back, the first time was like 10 mins the second was about 5 mins. I know that doesnt explain anything but Its what I have experianced using it. All in all a great app that I use all the time.
I am on the SFR 1.1.1 with EE03 modem and use Roam Control while at work all the time with no problems. I have had the license issue before, but a phone reboot and data connection fixed that.
I would recheck Superuser to see if Roam Control still had permission, also check mobile network settings set to Automatic, and then maybe fix permissions with CWM.
Disclaimer: I am not very developer savvy, so I do not know if these are a waster of time or not.

I wiped all my data and started from fresh, installing Roam Control, making sure that it had SU permission, and made sure that roaming was allowed in the mobile network settings. I went into CWM and fixed my permissions, but it's still the same
Edit: I also updated my PRL but no dough.

I am on my own version of SRF 1.1.0 called RandomRom linked in my signature. I baked in a lot of the mods that are now added into SRF 1.1.0. It uses Genocide to avoid freezing issues, and comes pre-journaled.
Using my Rom and EC05, roam control works great for me every day in my house. I know for a fact that RC can be a fickle app, so maybe give it a try?

In the development section they'd a section on how to manually update your prl. Its pretty good instructions. Just find the prl u want to use. I'm u do ng a 0001. I can't remember where I found it if its not in that thread. I'll look later.
Every few weeks I get rolled back to sprint prl but I just take the 2 to change back. If u need any thing else let me know.

Just be warned, 3G roaming on Verizon may venture into excessive roaming of your Sprint contract and get your account cancelled. No one has a completely clear answer on what excessive is.

I used roam control pretty much non stop for a couple months and have been on this prl for about another two months and no warnings or anything here. I'm in ms and we don't even have 3g where I'm at. The 0001 prl claims to trick your phone into showing sprint also . So that could be why.

If you are using a backup version of Roam Control then it will not work for some reason.. everytime I change to a diffrent ROM and try reinstalling my apps that I backed up.. Roam Control does the samething.. it wont change your signal.. it just does nothing..
this happens no matter how I restore it.. using Titanium Backup, APP Monster or MyBackup Pro.
Roam Control is the only app I have to reinstall from the Market for it to work properly.
Hope this helped!!
Just to be sure, everyone having problems with Roam Control is going into settings and choosing Samsung as their phone model...yeah?
I've had a few problems with roaming on the GB leak, but it's mostly just more of the same weirdness where I randomly have to reset the modem to get a data connection, and Android refuses to 'Never Ask Again', no matter what settings I check.
Otherwise, I've been roaming with Roam Control daily at work. Mind you, I'm not on any custom kernels.
/sometimes if I start Roam Control when I have absolutely no signal, it'll try to confirm my license, fail, and then get really really pissy until I close out of it, get data back, and run it again, at which point it behaves like I just installed it
//Roam Control is fantastic for when Gingerbread's data breaks, even when on Sprint, since you can just go in, tap Automatic, and it'll reset the modem for you without requiring a reboot

I'm using rc1.5.4 and I don't think it works either. I installed it after a day at work which was a bad spot for sprint service but watched my battery drain from 50% in 3 hours with a couple phone calls, emails and texts. Then my battery died. I was not happy that it drained sooo fast. Do any of the earlier versions work? Before 1.4?

Hmm. Whenever I used to use Roam Control in the past, it gave me much much more battery life. (almost double actually)
But now it doesn't work at all.
The developer of Roam Control is here on XDA, shoot him a PM. He's a really helpful kind of guy.

No im not on metro but its the same concept..... I have major data changes and I've used odin many times and flashed many roms and none of those changes mentioned back to default.... Idk what metro data settings would have to do with going back to default......
Well, the "default" settings are programmed to be a SPRINT phone, with Sprint service. MetroPCS is a prepaid service. The Epic 4G was never meant to work with Metro.. so it had to of course firstly have the ESN# on their systems, and from there, it had to be programmed to work like their phone, otherwise, you won't even get a dial-tone. Its not mission impossible, but an Odin doest keep its Metro Settings, I've Odin'd, upgraded to Froyo, and then Nandroid Restored back to my Custom Rom with Metro Service.
Revival of the past
I know I'm ressurrecting an old thread, but I'd like all users of the Epic Community who are on a custom MetroPCS rom to know the following.
Once you go out of the custom rom you paid for, you sacrifice 3g service, internet/mms.
So unless you're roaming like me, i dont reccommend it. Also, as the duce said, your data programmed settings stay retained.
For the most part, if with metropcs, talk and text.
Make sure you Nand Backup your MetroPCS rom and keep that rom backed up and save somewhere besides your phone if you want to go around experimenting on other roms.
As for re-programming your basic talk/text, you'll need to unlock your epic if not unlocked, then cdma or qpst into your device, and use the lastest evdo metro prl you find and flash that.
after that you'll also need to get on the phone with MetroPCS activation support and have them provide you with the MSID (Min) number unless you already know it, so you can enter that in #000000# (or ##MSL#) terminal mode, and it'll ask for your phone number, hit enter, then on MSID enter the appropriate MIN. and there you go, talk/text will be restored in case you really need to reprogram it.

The only place I knew of was in Dallas, TX. They charge 75 bucks, If only I wasn't foolish enough to delete my rom, I could of distributed it on the XDA forums. =(
They have the Ad on craigslist, I do believe they let you ship the phone to them, but I'm not sure, that'd be at their discretion if they do that. I had found it via craigslist, so try searching there under "flash metropcs" call up those ads, and see if they can properly flash an up to date rom with everything working.

Man, how much are they paying you to spout this crap? With the correct settings you can get all 3g, internet, mms, google play store and all features (except maybe 4g depending on the provider you switch from). You come pretty close to trolling when you tow the company line like that and tell users that they can't do something when they can. I'd be careful about spreading misinformation if I were you. I've modded several phones on metropcs and gotten great results.

[Q] Samsung epst for epic 4g touch?

I've placed the epst.apk and epst.odex files into the system apps folder set permissions and installed them then reboot and get force close on initial boot then only force closes when I try one of the dialer codes for example ##prl# but does nothing. What do I have to do to be able to get this working so I dont have to plug my phone into my computer to change prls which is a daily thing for me between work and home.

EPST is HTC only, and thus by definition will not work on a Samsung phone. Near as I can tell it has something to with changing settings on the radio itself(Anyone want to confirm/deny this?). If that is really what it does, then you are probably going to need to know something about reversing modems to get it working. Why would you want something like this anyways?

[Q] Wicked Sensation v2.0 4G Data not working(Sprint GS3)

I have downloaded and done a clean install of the latest ROM from Team-Venom "Wicked Sensations v2.0" First of all the ROM is so in depth, and runs smoother than any other ROM I have used in the last year. There is only one issue. The only way I can use mobile data is if I switch the mobile network to CDMA, 4G LTE does allow me to send and receive phone calls but no text messages, or any data whatsoever. . I have read all of Team Venom's thread, well most of it anyways, and I cannot find anyone else having this issue. I am aware of the rules of the forums, so I am posting this under the Q/A as not to bog down or step on anyone's toes, in the developers thread.
Is there a fix for the 4G data issue, or is it just my phone? I have tried everything I can think of such as..
Flash stock Kernal
Flashed the latest radios
flashed the latest PRL's (not sure what that would do but I did it anyways)
tried toggling airplane mode on and off.
Since nobody else is having this issue, I am not sure what else to try. also, when I am using LTE, I DO NOT have the 4G icon next to my signal bars, like I do when I am on 3G.
Before you ask, yes, I do in fact live in an area that does have 4G, I am in Kansas City Kansas.
Anyone with an idea or know how I would be grateful.

Thanks for the replies all. I have done the suggested troubleshooting as follows
1: did a fresh install of the ROM (after wiping EVERYTHING first)
2. went through setup of the device (just to verify 4G was still not working, which it was not)
3. went to dialer and input ##486#
4. chose the reset option
5. entered my MSL # and then the phone did a factory reset.
When the phone came back up I had to go through the setup again, and had to turn on wifi to get through it because the data was still not working.
Also if anyone comes accross this and wants to know how to get the MSL # download a terminal emulator from the market and input "getprop ril.MSL"
Or check out this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28182339
Also while investigating the MSL further I found this possible solution-
"The phone needs to be re-provisioned as follows ##72786# or ##SCRTN# the phone may restart twice, after the restarts, launch a browser and type in your phone number on the prompt."
After following this, when I opened the browser I was not prompted to input anything I was only greeted with a connection error. :crying:
I am still searching for more answers. I am exploring ##DATA# but there is more in here than I am familiar with so I will hold of on this until I know what I am doing.
In the mean time 3G works so I am still able to use my phone just wish I could tether my 4G to my laptop.
Any other ideas are more than welcome.

Well, I just flashed v1.3 and it is working flawlessly, everything is working great. I just think my hardware version is conflicting with the latest v2.0 for some reason. I am out of ideas. I'll stay on v1.3 for now I guess.

I have had the same exact issue and have not found a fix yet. It only happens with certain roms.

I have downloaded and done a clean install of the latest ROM from Team-Venom "Wicked Sensations v2.0" First of all the ROM is so in depth, and runs smoother than any other ROM I have used in the last year. There is only one issue. The only way I can use mobile data is if I switch the mobile network to CDMA, 4G LTE does allow me to send and receive phone calls but no text messages, or any data whatsoever. . I have read all of Team Venom's thread, well most of it anyways, and I cannot find anyone else having this issue. I am aware of the rules of the forums, so I am posting this under the Q/A as not to bog down or step on anyone's toes, in the developers thread.
Is there a fix for the 4G data issue, or is it just my phone? I have tried everything I can think of such as..
Flash stock Kernal
Flashed the latest radios
flashed the latest PRL's (not sure what that would do but I did it anyways)
tried toggling airplane mode on and off.
Since nobody else is having this issue, I am not sure what else to try. also, when I am using LTE, I DO NOT have the 4G icon next to my signal bars, like I do when I am on 3G.
Before you ask, yes, I do in fact live in an area that does have 4G, I am in Kansas City Kansas.
Anyone with an idea or know how I would be grateful.
BEST ROM I HAVE EVER USED!!!!!!! :good:
Wild.

Tha'ts weird, I just checked mine and it says global network. I switched it toe CDMA LTE and it works. Even sent a test text message to the wife phone and have no issues.. O here might be the issue. If you go to ##3282# under view then advance, see if LTE is enabled or disabled.. If it is enabled then I bet that is why you do not get 4G service.. I believe LTE does not have 4G service just 3G.. I have done this and my 4G went to 3G after enableing it.. If you have it disabled you will get 4G service..
That is a good idea but even then you have to wait five min. inbetween lol why couldn't I remember my old login that would be way easier

Well I have finally been able to get 4G data working on v2.0!!!
1. Wipe EVERYTHING
2. Flashed sensations v1.3
3. Reboot phone into recovery
4. Flashed v2.0
5. BEFORE REBOOTING OUT OF RECOVERY, Flash latest sprint radios
6. Reboot phone one last time
This has made 4G data work for me.
Im in the car right now, will try to remember to post a link to the latest radios. And PRL Updates. Those are nice to have too.

This is what I did and it seemed to work. I switched to cdma only then update profile and prl. Then when I switched back to cdma/lte everything seemed to work fine.
