I switch from Verizon 3g to Sprint 3g on a daily basis due to lack of sprint service in my home area. My goal is to eliminate the process of nandroid restore and implement this hack on CM6 only.
I understand CM6 doesnt support the EPST.apk. So my plan is to some how get my phone into Diag mode via adb shell so i can manually write the PRL file.
I found a script on this thread (post 600) that shows how to do it on an HTC Hero, but no luck on the Evo. Script looks like this
echo 1>/dev/qct_diag_enable
Does anyone know how to enable Diag mode without using epst.apk (##diag#) on an HTC evo?
Another possible solution to my problem would be, to figure out how to unhide nam2 settings on my EVO. I understand that the HTC Hero has an option to switch Nam's. If this was possible on the Evo i would copy all my settings from nam1 and place them on nam2 while calling the proper PRL file to enable verizon 3g in my home area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, so I have a Sprint CDMA Touch Pro 2, security unlocked, and flashed with the world unlocked radio. Everything in windows mobile works great on tmobile, however when i boot into android (Froyo X) from SD card i am unable to access anything. I'm assuming android is using the CDMA radio, and I cannot find any options etc to change it to GSM, or enable world phone mode.
So, it this possible? When i search for the network, it will find Cingular and Voicestream Wire. It will only do this once, and if I attempt to search again at any time without rebooting first, the entire system will freeze, and requires a hard reset.
I do have a 3G indicator, and signal bars which change periodically, but I am unable to connect to anything.
I've done several forum searches, as well as looked through all the settings I could find.
Any help with this would be awesome!
You need to check two things in your Startup.txt file. The first is that you should have your model number in the following field instead of the "rhod100_uk."
Code:
physkeyboard=rhod100_uk
The second thing is that you need to set the following line based on whether you use your device on a GSM network or a CDMA one. If you use it with a CDMA network then change the "0" to a "1." If it is used on a GSM network then leave it as a "0."
Code:
force_cdma=0
Depending on how you installed Android, the startup.txt will normally be in either the root of the SD card or in the \andboot folder on the SD card.
Hi guys, i'm from the Nexus S area, I have a question about the EVO. Someone I know has an EVO and his contract is up now, and mentioned flashing to another carrier. Does anyone know if he can get his phone flashed to the other carrier(Revol) with the custom rom already on it?
It will have to be a stock sense 1.0 rom or Espt codes wont work to activate the phone.

It's possible, but he would have to hunt for some cdma pst tools for his PC which shouldn't be hard (e.g. QPST 2.7 355 ) so that you can connect to your phone via USB Cable. Now of coarse as mentioned above you will need HTC Sense to be able to dial keypad commands to get your phone into DIAG Mode "##3424#", but don't frown yet because if you have AndroidSDK or HTC Sync even so that you can use adb commands you should be able to put the phone into DIAG mode this way. I am assuming the phone is rooted since he has a custom rom. below are the adb commands to use to put the phone into DIAG Mode then you shouldn't have a problem looking for a guide using those cdma PST tools to program his phone to revol.
ADB Commands:
First be sure to cd into your directory where adb.exe is located.
adb devices <<< this command is just to be sure your phone is found
adb shell
$ su
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/usb-composit/diag/enable
That should enable DIAG for you. To disable DIAG once your done simply change the "1" from the last line to a "0" and it will be disabled.
Hope this helps one way or another.. good luck bud.
I have some one that has an Evo and wants it flashed to boost mobile. Question how do I go about that and can it still be rooted and have a custom rom after flashing it??
I have an EVO. Its on Boost. You can find the guide on how to do it around the net and on the forum. You can also buy the same guide on ebay... not sure why people bother.
You can root the phone or port it to Boost while it is not rooted. Doesn't matter. Once ported you can put on any rom that you feel like... again root or no doesn't matter. I have a non Sense rom. EPST codes sometimes give me trouble but for the most part I dont need it. I use Miui. You can use any rom you want but Sense rom will not give you voicemail notifications while any AOSP rom will. Thus my choice of Miui.
Without epst access on a sense rom you'll have trouble with MMS (picture messaging). What you have to do is change the APN settings... on a AOSP rom that's complicated. The easiest solution that I found is to not use the bundled messaging app and get GO SMS Pro from the Market (free). Once installed go into Settings> Adwanced> MMS Settings and Fill APN Configuration Manually
MMSC: http://mm.myboostmobile.com
MMS Proxy: Leave this one alone/unchanged
MMS Port: 80
Good luck.
PS: Please do not start a thread about this as the thread will quickly become a legal vs. illegal thread.
I have my Evo flashed to revol. I want to know where or what i can edit to make my phone only use 1x mobile data. When i turn off my WIFI i get the 3G icon for like 5 min then it finally turns to 1x and i finally get connections. What i want is to change it so it doesn't even look for 3G it just goes straight to 1x. Someone please help me find where this is located in the system. There has to be a file somewhere that has this in setting it. I have been looking for days now and cant find the answer. I have googled and searched on here and have found notta. PLEASE HELP
EDIT: problem solved in post 5
If you are running a EPST enabled rom. Just use ##3282# then EVDO change the preferred method to CDMA instead of automatic. You of course need to use edit and your MSL.
Under mobile networks on aosp you can force 2g only which is 1x or you can use 2g+3g or 3g only etc on cm7 or decks you cab use the notification toggle and set the mobile network mode to 2g only and off and when you enable mobile networks you will only use 1x and not evdo
We are legion, for we are many
Thanks guys for your help
Ok so if any one out there wants to force 1X data here is how.
1: Download a copy of QPST ( http://www.fileserve.com/file/xaJaa5z )
2: Download a copy of the newest PRL ( http://cid-eabe29f3770d8d15.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/PRLs )
3: install QPST
4: Using RL Editor in QPST open the PRL file
5: Under System Records find any that don't have 95(A,B)/1x as the system type and delete them.
6: Change the Preferred Roaming List ID to what ever you want it to be
7: Save the file
8: Copy it to your phones SD card
9: Use This method to update your PRL.
10: Reboot and you are done
REMEMBER to only delete the ones that don't have 95(A,B)/1x as the system type. Also don't change anything else as i don't know what might happen. If you run across any issues just update your prl back to the original.
Also i am not responsible if you screw up your phone. You are doing this at YOU OWN RISK.
Here is the newest PRL already edited for you: http://www.box.com/s/6s4bkj8cbv3bud8c7a47
This is the one i am using right now so it does work. You will know for sure it did by going to settings,about phone,network, and look at mobile network type. It should say CDMA 1xRTT. If it does then you are all set. If not then you didn't delete them all.
My htc was flashed to metro. I put it back on sprint and I cannot pick up a data connection and the phone stays on roaming. I cant connect my phone to the pc through usb because the charging port is broken. I need to add my AAA shared secret code manually but I don't know how to retrieve this code. I have CDMA but for some reason when I try to read my phone through bluetooth it fails because the phone does not answer. Help can someone tell me what I need to do?
Sick of your Data Disconnecting ? Do You constantly have to find your donor and get data/psw from it in order for 3g DATA to work on your phone ??well no need to do that no more. There are two ways that worked for me and the other I can't post about it here
Connect your phone to QPST and Open Efs Explorer
*****GALAXY PHONES must SEND 16Digit PAssword first Thru DFS and HAVE SPC
*****HTC PHONES ALL YOU NEED is YOUR SPC
Click File and Create a New Directory called "DMU" without quotation of course
drag the 10.key file in that folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/so0cx087lik9v59/10.key
Restart you phone and your data should work.
If that don't work then You need to use DFS to back up your Prl and Dial *228 *********ATTENTION**** dialing *228 is not all that bad, the only thing that changes is your PRL. So go ahead and write your PRL back and you're set
If you need the PRL here is one For Sprint Phones https://www.dropbox.com/s/7gqyyvcmjt20paq/53000%20For%20Sprint%20Phones.prl
Need the Latest one ? get it here ....just look for PRL...or use CTRL+F 65005 (get the sprint one) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270191
The Other Method involve changing ESN#s and MEIDs# that's why I can't really talk about it here..... ( Thats What I was told )
