If I get my dad to ativate 3g, what shud I do after that? I dont wanna get bricked so I was thinking about going to stock, upgrading and then root and nandroid back to ava

When you did ##786# did you do a master reset (need your MSL code for that) if so when your phone rebooted did it go through the hands free activation?

how'd you manage to get an evo without a data plan? according to sprint it is a must have for any smart phone.

Its possible that in his account the data feature is on the account but it us blocked, which would explain why his MMS isn't working either.
OP, to get your phone to reactivate, go to menu, settings, system updates, update profile. Or if that doesn't work, then you'll need to do ###, need your phone number and msid, and reprogram that way. This all needs to be done using stock build for the phone.
If you're just trying to upgrade your PRL, try using your Sprint Zone application on the phone and it'll tell you if your PRL even needs an update.

Is the Pri Update still causeing roaming issues?

i just updated my Pri. but i have yet to run into this and a may be doing a bit of driving soon should i be worried?
If it happens, just call Sprint from a landline, and they'll do some reconfiguring on their end, and have you do a factory data wipe. Just make sure to back everything up first!
I just updated mine last night and now im unable to data or voice roam on the cm6 forced roam setting. I think I'm going to revert back to the old one as soon as I have time to figure out how to do it.

Yes, just call Sprint (both of you). Tell them that your PRI just upgraded from 1.34 to 1.40, and now whenever you roam, your data doesn't go through, and when you make calls, you just get a message from Verizon saying they can't authorize your phone. The guy didn't ask me anything else.
Settings/system updates/profile update, then a reboot fixed it for me.
Thanks, I'll flash back to fresh and try that.
Edit: I also called sprint and it fixed my issue. I had to setup google voice as my voicemail again though.
So after I called sprint I can go on internet while roaming but I can't make or receive phone calls. I updated profiles and that didn't do anything. I will try and give sprint a call again
*UPDATE* I called Sprint again and they fixed the issue for me

Help a fellow evo user out

Basically, I'm not getting any data at all.(on mobile network)
Originally, the issue started with error no.1012 when I tried updating my profile/prl. I researched on the issue and read that it means that the network was not communicating to my device properly. The problem with that, my data was working.
I called tech support because from my readings, a few things on Sprints side needed to changed. Well after that, tech support could not do anything but recommend that I take it into the store and have my device wire provisioned. So...I took it in and explained what I was going through. The tech said he was able to tell that it was rooted and that the other tech would not touch it if he knew that it was rooted. He said if I unrooted, that they would gladly fix the issue. I asked if he knew what the wait was. He went to the back with my phone and came back and said it would be an hour from when I unroot. I took my phone and to my surprise, was actually on a 4G network. Cool, but when I switched back to 3g, it will no longer work. I'm getting error 1012.
Taking the phone in for a replacement wouldn't be so bad, but I'm afraid that I will not be able to root the new phone.
So can anybody please help fix my issue so that I may keep the phone.that has my virtual heart. Thanks guys, if you can help, it means a lot.

If you are having these issues, first nandroid. Then completely backup everything with Titanium.
Then data wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik-cache, re-flash radios and ROM.
Then if you still have problems, let Sprint replace it. It's no biggie to root a new phone.

OK so you need to keep calling tech support track who you speak to. Never speak twice to a techie unless they provide help. Never accept answers as final. Start asking questions on plan termination.
Find a better sprint store go at opening time, not lunch. Allow the techie to have time to access your phone, ie let other customers go first.
You know this though. So if you can't get in to the sprint network for data, then ask for supervisors while on with tech support. Insist it's THEIR problem. Hell put your ten dollars a month to work.

it deals with the password the phone uses and it's failing to login and has a reset timer, the techs can't reset the sprint network internal timer for when the password fails and you get locked out, waiting 24hrs lets is timeout and an immediate profile update syncs your phone with the correct login/password
Have you tried re-activating it? Dial ##3272# -> Edit Mode -> Enter MSL -> Data Profile -> Menu -> Restore
It should reboot and reactivate when it boots back up, let it update everything but firmware.

Guess ill do that. I have tried everything else. If not, ill try what was posted above yours solution.
And yes, I have tried many times to reset my data profile. I think ill ask for a wired provision again, but this time with a stock Rom, so they actually look at it.

Daughters evo 4g is not receiving texts... help

It stopped receiving texts yesterday.She can send them but cant receive. she doesnt have google voice. a couple days ago or a week ago she had to reboot her phone 7 times because it locked up on her. it took 7 times to get it to restart. It is rooted with either a stock rom or just stock and rooted. i didnt do it, so I dont remember. I know it has the crappy camera on it. I was planning on putting miui on it later this month, but if that wont fix it, I will just unroot her phone and have her take it to the store. But from what Ive read it doesnt seem they will do anything? I hate to take a trip up there if it wont fix her issue.
Try a factory reset

give tech support a call before un-rooting and taking it back to the store, it may be something on their end they can handle over the phone. Its worth a try

If you can try flashing sense 1.0 rom. Say Tommytomatoe's or Gruesomewolf' or swagstr's. Then try updating profile and prl.

I did have her update profile and prl and it didnt help any. I think she is going to call sprint tomorrow and see if there is anything they can do. Do any of you know if I put a different rom on it if it will fix it? If her phone is rooted will a factory reset mess it up? she did that on her optimus and it didnt have a compatible recovery and it messed up the phone. we thought it was bricked, but my roommate fixed it.
Factory reset will only erase all data so it won't mess up just have her export contacts to sd, get Sms backup and restore from market to. Save her texts if she wants and use titanium backup pro or mybackuproot to save all her apps and data first so. She can restore everything after the reset since she will lose it all

Since your on a stock rooted Tom try this:
1.get msl reader off the market, its free and write down your msl code
2.dial ##data# select edit mode, it'll ask you for your msl code
3. Tap on your data profile option, hit menu and then choose restore profile.
4. Let it restart and if it doesn't restart restart the phone yourself. Let it reprovision and go through the handsfree activation, after its finished cancel the prl update
5. Let it settle now update profile first prl second, restart the phone after both is done and report back if that worked
PS that's usually what I have to do any time I have texting issues and it usually clears everything up. Plus if you call sprint tech support this is what theyll have you do

[Q] did sprint fu** my phone over?

ok well took my phone to sprint store because i was having a rattling sound in it when u would do like a quick jerk or movement with it...
well they did what ever it was they wanted to i guess and brought it back out to me no more rattle ...
left their and on my way back home I noticed that the background wasnt the same on my lockscreen so i started going through the phone and c they have flashed my phone back to stock...
Ok still no biggie i can just root it and unlock it again well i go to use the play store it says network unavailable..
well i go to network settings and do the usuall checking and making sure roaming and data and all that is on wich it was but the roaming...
I go to see n make sure im still on sprint maybe thats y its no data... whell guess what its not it says chameleon...
whell what the hell is the first thing that comes out my mouth and laughing.. gf says what so funny i said look my phone says im on a chameleon n we both busted out laughing in the store...
well i got home and still no data so i called sprint and we went through the normal trouble shooting and phone restoring procedure..
Those procedires didnt get data to work either so they had me do a ##SCRTN# and after restart they had me do a manual programing, wich still didnt get data to work.
So last thing that they had me do was ##RTN# and once again did manual programming,and of course still no go no data..
After the "advanced tech support guy" came back on the phone he started urgently repeating and emphisizing take the phone the store or where it was i purchased it at.... so monday i gotta call and get a new phone shipped to me since this one is only a week old...
IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET MY PHONE WORKING AGAIN,AND WHAT DID THEY DO TO IT ?

5. Click on "Branding" and you will make a "Branding" shortcut on your Homescreen.
6. Click new "Branding" shortcut and set Branding to "Sprint"
Confirmed working in both ZV9 and ZVB.

Hmm, maybe this has been my problem the whole time. I've had my OG since earlier this year and it has always listed "Chameleon" as the network but I never thought anything about it. My issue though, is even though I am in a high 4G coverage zone, I rarely get 4G. I can force it to connect to 4G (using an app I found) and it will connect with full bars, but it will drop back to 3G in like 5 minutes.
I'll have to try the fix rockh11 posted. Does the phone need to be rooted to run that fix?

Lgnpst I think so unlock the bootloader and root it just to be on the safe side
Nova launcher no need for root i think
prl and profile no.
Try doing prl/profile updates via wifi. Alternatively, just wait. I've seen sprint take 2-3 days before data will come back after a reset. I had one blow up when traveling and support convinced me I would have to take it back once I returned to town. Woke up 2 days later an everything was working fine.

[Q] Hands free activation failure

Greetings!
I recently rooted my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II with a toolkit, and it seemingly deactivated my phone, so I couldn't make calls, send text messages or use 3G at all. Every time I would reboot my phone, It would try to do a "Hands Free Activation" and fail.
Since then I have unrooted my phone and restored it to stock, but it still seems deactivated. I can't make calls, send texts or use 3G, and I also still get the "Hands Free Activation" and it still fails every time.
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Ok, so I used the tar file you used, and it no longer attempts to do the hands free activation.
I seem to be recieving a few text messages, but it seems delayed and sparatic. Phone calls made to me go straight to voicemail. Phone calls I make go through occasionally. I can use 3G for internet access.
In my notification panel, my service bars jump from zero to full quickly, and frequently. It usually sits on zero bars.

Have them try manually programming your phone. They will need you to dial ##MSL#, then tap EDIT, input your MDN (Phone number), MSID (Network routing number) and then select DONE. The phone will reboot, but all of the correct info will be stored in the phone and it shouldn't have an issue with hands free.

With HFA you shouldn't need manual programming as long as the MEID is still set.
Try ##72786# (##SCRTN#) to force HFA and allow the profile/PRL to update.
Also run the MC2 One Click with the change ID in the name (number) to update everything if not already on MC2.
That should get you going again.
If you see HFA pop back up let me know.

With HFA you shouldn't need manual programming as long as the MEID is still set.
Try ##72786# (##SCRTN#) to force HFA and allow the profile/PRL to update.
Also run the MC2 One Click with the change ID in the name (number) to update everything if not already on MC2.
That should get you going again.

That was the issue he was having is that HFA wouldn't complete, and so his phone wouldn't fully provision. If he manually programs then it can skip HFA and should work without it.

In my experience it's not that easy anymore. Manual provision may not allow a profile update, at which point you now have to manually key in AA/HAA keys. And that's not even addressing the LTE SIM.
In this person's case a MC2 one click and the carrier partition fix ought to have done it either way. Feel free to research what we've done so far on related issues if you question why I gave this answer. I have older threads explaining the problem.

First I'll preface this with the fact that I'm not doubting you in the least, you may be correct, and since OP hasn't responded I don't know. Your thanks meter is through the roof, which tells me that you know your ****, so I'm not questioning you. What I'm trying to do is explain it from the way I see it. I have to deal with issues like this at last 50 times a day. People call in because they can't get their phone to provision over the network and I have to troubleshoot and get it working. 999/1000 times it comes down to a provisioning delay or an issue with service. Without knowing the specifics I can't say if that's the cause of his issue or not. What I can say is that I can count on one hand the amount of times I have had to open a CTMS ticket for provisioning. If I can't get SCRTN to work, then I refresh OMA and power cycle, then try again. If that doesn't do the trick then I manually program. When the phone comes back on I have them wait at least a minute, ensure that there is signal and a 3G/4G logo, and have them test. 99.9% of the times the phone works. That's why I suggested manual programming, And then if there is an issue with PRL I'll have them connect to wifi and update again, but rarely have I had an call where not having a current PRL meant that the phone wouldn't provision. Unless he went and manually wrote an archaic PRL in himself then anyone that is already loaded in should work just fine.
TL;DR: Basically, what I'm conveying in this wall of text is that manual programming negates the need for HFA. They both do the same thing, but SCRTN trusts that the network is working, and then automatically updates the PRL, Profile, and Firmware, all of which you can do manually once the correct MDN and MSID are in place.
