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.

Ok it worked out all fine. My mms still won't work. I talked to aprint and they said to update pri but still it won't work. Btw data is now enabled

[Q] Error 1012 no matter what Sprint or I do

For the past week and 1/2 i get error 1012 if i do a profile or prl update. I play with my radios in different area to test. So i always follow up with a profile update. So then i have to call sprint, have them refresh my phone and then it works for a short period of time. If i do a profile restore it never activates and have to call sprint.
Running synergy rc1 hw 0002
Lastest radios were flashed in fastboot and have worked before.
When i called sprint they gave me a credit if i was to go to the store and it be free of charge and id get a new phone. But i dont want to end up with 2.3 and loose root.
Also she said it no longer matter if your phone is rooted. You can bring it for service.

Did you use clockwork mod? This guy had a similar prob.

I am having this issue as well, I posted in the forum in that link.
This is odd. We can make calls on the phone, internet, text, can not update PRL, profile and it will not receive picture texts. I messed up and DID NOT make a backup of the stock ROM, as I put a new 16g SD card in it. So I dont know if I can go back to the Stock rom or not and try it all again.
I really dont want to go to Sprint and then be given a new 2.3.3 phone.
Thanks to all that have any ideas.
I have another EVO and did the same thing to it, and it works perfectly.

I had this problem, too. The only thing that fixed it for me was a full wipe using ##786#. You will need the MSL code to do this. If you don't have it and you are rooted, you can get MSL reader from the market. If you are not rooted, then you need to call Sprint and sweet talk them into giving it to you. Back up all your apps/user date with Titanium (or whatever you use) before attempting this because it WILL wipe everything from your phone.

i use amon recovery. wiped my whole phone and reinstalled the rom, even flashed others with no go. Downgraded radio = nothing, upgraded again = nothing

I have had lots of problems getting my Data to work on my EVO running on the Boost Mobile Network(A.K.A. Sprint). Still continue not to have Data on it. I assumed it was PRL Version, but was incorrect. Well, I would get the same Error Code. I managed to update PRL manually using the link below.

Still NO DATA on my HTC EVO 4G!
Still get calls & text messages, but no internet!

I got a refurb phone a couple days ago, and they were having provisioning problems then when trying to update it at store. Perhaps it's still occurring?

UPDATE:
I took it to the store yesterday. When I went to go pick it up i noticed a scuff mark on the bottom left along with the screen lifting. Went back today to get my refurb only for this one have the whole bottom lift and fiber in the rear camera and the lense. Back to the store I go and hopefully I get a new one.

UPDATE: given another refurb. This one is perfect, no issues. no more errors. also its hardware version 0002. Weird. The other was 0004. So about $37 at the store. when i called sprint I received a $50 credit along with the $37 I spent on the phone. New phone plus credit = a happy customer.

I have been working on my HTC EVO phone for several days trying to get my number transferred and the phone activated. I have done a factory reset called customer service, tried rooting it, everything. I got the MSL code from the previous service providers, luckily, and reset the meid imsi and everything. Finally I came across this post and it was a life saver. You providing the ##786# was what i needed to totally clear everything. It is finally activated. Thank you so much it worked!!

Friend lost 3g after activation

My friend at work bought a second evo 4g, and brought it to me to root and rom for him. Rooted with revolutionary, no problem. Flashed cm7 and miui on there, and made backups of both so he can flash back and forth between them to see which he likes.
So everything up to there was fine. He went onto the sprint site this morning and did the esn swap to the rooted evo, and does not get any data (3g icon) now. He had already swaped to it after he bought it, while it was still stock, to make sure it worked, and data worked just fine. Then went back to his original evo, and gave me the new one to work on for him.
Is there a data fix that can be done? Or should he call sprint to activate it instead of doing the esn swap on the website?

I think it'd be best to go to / call sprint and have them activate to alleviate any problems.

Did he activate while on CM7 or miui? YOu need to be on a stock rom when activating. I would just tell him to get on a stock rom, and call sprint and have them activate/esn swap one more time. It's highly possible the activation just didnt go all the way through their system.

Yeah, he was on miui. I wondered if that would be the case. So does it have to be factory stock, or can I flash a stock based custom rom, and which would be best suited?

I may be reading your post incorrectly, and if so then let me know.....but did he buy an entire new phone just to root? Why didn't he just root the phone he had?

No, your reading correct. He wanted to try it himself, that way if he messed something up, it wouldn't be on his daily phone. He then had trouble rooting and brought it to me to fix. Had to unroot with ruu, turn s on, then re root and flash.

Any sense 2.0 rom SHOULD work. However, to make it easier, its better to just flash a stock rom, just in case.

Ok. qbking77 does a lot of videos for my epic that are very easy to follow, and did a few for the evo as well. He did one for the kingdom synergy rom a couple months ago, so I sent my buddy the link and told him to try that one. Think that would work ok even though its 3.0? I'll dig through the threads for a stock 2.0 as well. Any specific one I should look for? Thanks
Edit: Kingdom Synergy worked. His phone is up and running. Thank you evo community, for your help!

i'm basically having the same problem with my phone. unfortunately, on order to get the 3g back, you need to un-root. there is some kind of issue with communication with the sprint servers when activating the mobile network, even if your running a stock rom. so the only way to gain access from the mobile network is to go to a sprint store and have them un-root your device. if anyone has found another route, without having to un-root, please explain how

Absolutely not true. You do NOT have to unroot to fix a 3g problem, just be on a Sense rom. Rooting has absolutely NOTHING to do with signal problems or activating.

HAAHA no, sprint doesn't un-root devices. YOU rooted it, YOU un-root it.

Umm, just be on a Sense rom, preferrably stock. Then you can call sprint and have them re-activate or re-provision the phone. Again, you can absolutely do this while rooted. My last three phones, I rooted them out of the box before I even activated them.

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.
Sent from my lair.

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

-Coming soon to an Evo4G near you?: [AoSP]EViL-MoD_FReEvO v0.1[Free your phone]-

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

Check the memory. She may have to remove some apps. Try that before you get knee deep into unrooting . I had customer per day with similar issues.

I finally have the phone and I did a factory reset, which surprise, did not fix the issue. (being sarcastic) I installed another stock rom and it works just fine. In the meantime she bought an iphone and is very happy with it, so its either going on CL or ebay. has a video docking station and a motorola bluetooth speaker. 16gb card... hope I can get 150 or more for it..

[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...

3. select new short cut > activities.
4. scroll down the list until you see "Update Device"... click update device then look for a "Branding" submenu.
5. Click on "Branding" and you will make a "Branding" shortcut on your Homescreen.
6. Click new "Branding" shortcut and set Branding to "Sprint"

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.
