My Story
I recently switched from the Incredible to the Droid 2 global to give it a try. Don't worry I got it for free thanks to the deal that Verizon is running about buy one get one of the same. *Upgraded a family member so I took the free one as I thought what the hell*
Now I've played around with this phone for 1 and 1/2 days so far and I'm not liking the battery life. I rather not return the phone as it was free and so I was thinking if I could just keep it as a backup that would be great.
Now my question is can I switch between the phones without going into the store? I want to activate my incredible again for a while since it got better battery life. *and before you ask, yes I've spent at least the last 15 hours using it like I did my other phone but still the battery was drained faster*
Now I have done a google search already about this topic and found this so far.
http://www.ehow.com/how_5046976_switch-phones-easily-verizon-wireless.html
Has anyone here done this before? I'm not looking to change anything about my services other than the phone. Both phones are smart phones and thus I don't see a problem but I figured I would ask the all mighty people here.
I just call verizon and they do it for me.
Its very simple just call them up and they ask for the codes off the new phone and your set. I believe you can do it right off the website as well.
Eh well I have 1 problem with calling them. I only have my cell as my phone. So I can't call them on the phone that will be deactivated. I'm looking at this as saving me time from having to deal with going to the store or from having to call them.
I'm just worried that since I'm on a contract that I would be locked to this specific phone unless I upgrade again.
Bump
Anyone else done this before?
There's a couple of approaches (or maybe many more I haven't thought of):
1) Do you have a computer (not a phone)? If so, can you just use Skype or some such thing to call them at their 800 number or whatever it is? Then you can shut off the phone.
2) I have an old droid 1 and a dinc. I switch between them by shutting off the dinc, and turning on the droid, typing *228 and that's that. Reversing the process works as well. No one asks for the MEIN/ID, but once I had a small contract screwup where I had a replacement phone I'd forgotten about, and I was asked for the MEIN (is that the right acronym?) , and had to yank the back off to find it and give it to them. It is also in 'about phone' but the phone has to be on.
---
So none of that may be useful to you unless you have access to a computer and skype (or an equivalent).
Good luck -
So you say you can just turn off one phone and *228 on your deactivated phone and that will automatically switch which phone is active at the time?
Yes, I can do that as long as the original paperwork on each phone really matches what they have in their computers.
For example, I mentioned that one phone was broken and replaced early on, and I had to call them to change to that one, but once I'd done that call, I could just use the *228 to change.
It sure doesn't hurt to try it.

Ah cool well both phones match the paper work on my account as I own both and they had both been activated before on my account so I will give it a try and see what happens. If this works then I will be very happy as I can just switch back and forth all I want.
Just tried that and it didn't work. As soon as I tried it asked me to enter the phone number that I was trying to activate.
I think this does have to be done via the website first. I would love to hear some someone that has tried the instructions that I linked above.
I do this on a monthly basis. When u dial *228 from the phone u want to use press 1 for program. When prompted enter phone number with area code that u want on that phone. If your act has a password u may be prompted to enter that or the last 4 digits of the act holders social security number. When it goes through, may take up to 10 min u will get programming complete. Dial *228 again then select 2 to unlock prl and update roaming. Pm me if u need further help. Peace.

What started out as an effort to get my migrated XV6800 to operate on Verizon's data network has taken a nasty turn for the worse... Here is the long, sordid story, and I would really appreciate help in getting this device back onto the Verizon network.
This was originally a Qwest phone. I unlocked it and flashed it with a Verizon ROM, the file name is _Verizon XV6800_RUU_TITAN_VZW_WWE_3.57.605.1_RS_TITAN_3.37. 75_OM_VZW_ShipFULL. After I did that the customization routines did not run. Frankly, I don't know if they were supposed to or not, but they didn't.
I couldn't get the phone to connect to the Verizon network, even on *228. Eventually I applied a PRL and then I was able to connect to *228, and option #3 got the phone onto the voice network. I used it as my cell phone for two weeks with no issues on the voice network. Still, I wasn't able to get data working.
These are the things I tried while troubleshooting the data issue:
* Loaded the carrier cab from DCD
* Forced a CDMA only connection to download new keys
* Loaded the newest Verizon ROMs I found while at their website (this is the first time I saw customization routines)
* Told Verizon to switch me from pay as you go data to unlimited data (though it looks like they never turned this on)
* Tried activating my PDA with a different Verizon number, and then re-activating it with my original Verizon number
* Did a hard reset
It's those last two steps that screwed me. After I swapped the number off the phone I wasn't able to get it back. I could get to option #3, but it wouldn't let me activate the phone. Their tech support is no help and they are shocked when they look back at my account history and see that I was able to use *228 to get this phone on their network two weeks ago.
I then did a hard reset and got myself all the way back to the point where I was before I manually put the PRL in place. When I dial *228 I get the following: "Your account is not authorized to make calls to this phone number. I you would like to have additional capabilities added to your account please call customer service. Message 4, swich 691". I'm guessing that installing a PRL on the phone will now let me use option #3, because that's what made it work last time. However, I'm looking for instructions since I messed up somewhere in the process last time.
I just tried the following, but I get a recording saying they are unable to activate my phone at this time and then it tried to connect me to a person.
1. Install PRL
2. Install carrier cab
3. Install MMS cab
4. Run *228, #3
I know the person is just going to tell me that they can't help because their system doesn't recognize the ESN.
So what's the verdict, can I expect to get this phone back onto the voice network, will it ever work on the data network? Any help that anyone can offer in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Wrong forum? Should this have gone into upgrades?
moved thread by request of OP as Q&A forum did not provide answers nor does the OP expect it to.
Best regards,
Flar
Since being able to dial *228, have you called customer service to pull a new key for your device? When I upgraded a xv6800 rom I was not able to dial *228 until I did that. It was a bit of work getting it to pull the new key, but they did it. They first walked me through a manual registration process, then I think they tried to push it through and that worked.
Is your phone a Verizon phone? The pickle I'm in is that mine is not. When they ask me for the ESN they say it's unrecognized and that's pretty much it. They say they can't help me get it on the network because it's not a Verizon phone.

Yep mine is a verizon phone. I am wondering if this is a new implementation, because I have flashed several roms before and never had to call them to get my phone activated until about a month ago. When you dial *228 does it allow you to do a phone programing, I think it is option 1?
No. 1, 2, & 3 all fail. I just called tech support again, hoping getting a new A key would resolve this. He told me he couldn't give me an A key unless the phone's ESN was in the system and the only way to get it in there is through *228, #3... Kind of a Catch 22.
His last suggestion was that I activate a different PDA on my number and see if maybe the computer is choking because my current phone isn't a PDA, and this one is. Kind of sounds like clutching at straws, but he said at this point I've done all that can be done, short of that.
I find really odd, and extremely frustrating, that I can't find anyone else who has been through this with a non-Verizon phone.

Some of the devs and I from the Android porting scene came across recently that *228 option 1 on Verizon does not work. After we intiate option 1, it goes 5 secs and then the error message lady pops up and says that it cant be completed at this time and to call customer care. From working with Verizon, I know tech support is useless for this issue so I am wondering if anybody here has came across this issue and if there is a fix for it. Currently we have tried this on Verizon stock rom and both NSFAN's 6.1 and 6.5 roms and its still a no go.
thanks for the new thread, hated to clutter the other one... I'll be calling to try and get a new AKEY shortly.
Ok, done this so far:
flashed imcoke .40
flashed vzw mr1 stock rom
no joy
Customer Support: 18009220204
Option 3. tech support
Option 3. ??
Option 4. winmo/blck/palm/etc
Option 2. all others
(acct pw) -> transferred
CSR:
"phone 'didn't update,' (something in the 'system')"
*228, opt 2
restart
test call, 'exernal operator' message
epst -> edit -> unlock code: 000000
nam -> edit mdn -> (my number)
home sid/nid #1 -> 02/65535 (probably by area?)
upd -> yes -> ok -> restart
test call, 'exernal operator' message
hold -> trouble ticket.
Has anyone tried #8899 (tech support)? See this thread. Apparently requesting a new AKEY shouldn't be a big deal...
Got voice working
Called the #8899 number. He walked me through changing my MSID back to my 10-digit number in EPST. He also did a 'security update' OTA by having me call #2539, which I think is a new AKEY. People may be able to avoid the pain by going into EPST and fixing their MDN, Home SID/NID #1, and MSID.
So voice is working now, but no data yet - and *228 opt 1 _still_ doesn't work. Anyone (really) know the difference between option 1 and option 2?
Edit:
Got data working now, too... ##778, edit, MIP Default Profile, change NAI to reflect your mobile number.
Also see this ppcgeeks thread.
Oh, but *228 opt 1 still doesn't work.
Edit #2:
Sorry for any confusion - for #2539 you need to have a tech support rep already on the phone. They'll call you on a landline and have you call #2539 from your cell. They'll ask you to tell them when you get put on hold. Then they do something behind the scenes. But you can't just call the number, no one will pick you up on the other side.
i had this problem last night they said the phone "malfunctioned" so i brought it in and they sent me a new one i just got it 5 minutes ago and now *228 1 works fine even after i unlocked it and put nfans 6.5 on it

Have you ran the Android port since you got your new phone and what custom rom and radio did you install?

Hopefully that's not the real fix... If it is, those of us without a warranty are screwed!
I should have a new phone tomorrow. I got the same story from Verizon last night. Im thinking it has something to do if you flash the rom while having a data connection allready setup? Maybe if the thing was in airplane mode first it might work better. I dont know, but im kind of thinking it screws their system up if its active. Ill try and flash the new one before activating the phone. Hopefully that will work.
For the record a tech from VZW finally called me today. Told him that it had been resolved but said I still couldn't *228 opt 1. He said 1 and 2 are almost the same so... maybe this isn't a big concern?

yeah i have quite a few times with all the different versions of android and hero etc.... and now im still using nfans
ok thanks again mrkite but now calls are not working(data is though!) it acts as if my phone is unactivated. i guess im gonna try the #2539
that's weird...
sorry to hear that... I can't see why changing the MIP settings would affect your calls... Sorry about any confusion about #2539, I edited my post above. What message are you getting when you make calls?
I really recommend calling the #8899 number instead of customer service. They told me to look at settings in EPST that customer service didn't, and they weren't shy about sending a new AKEY through #2539.
it turns out that changing msid to my mobile number is what killed mt calls i called tech support and they gave me a different number to put in my msid and it works now i have calls and data(Finally)
thanks again mrkite38
I successfuly updated my Stock, non-rooted Spring Epic Touch 4G last week to the newest build.
Battery life got better... signal got better. I lost the ability to use automated touch tone phone menu systems.
Does anyone else have this issue, if so please let me know if there's a fix or a way to revert back to a previous firmware update, etc.
Thanks in advance, I eagerly await your help. For now, I can't even get ahold of Sprint Customer service's phone system. I'm locked out!

I to am having this issue. i am a phone tech at a local repair shop in south florida and 2 of my customers are having this issue (as well as my phone).
both of my customers phone are stock / non rooted
my phone is rooted using CALKUKINS E4GT Rom.
ive tried using a diffrent dialer but no help. anyone got a salution for this?
ON TOP OF THAT I HAVE 2 DEMO EPIC TOUCH'S AND THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE
Long time problem with dial tones in call
I have been searching for a month now to find a solution to this problem. I feel like I'm not explaining it right, but I'll try again.
For the last 2 years I have been dialing into a conference call line each morning. I dial the number then enter my access code (299542#). Upon recieving my new Samsung E4GT, the phone dialer does not register some or most of the digits entered, but it's not consistent. 95% of the time the 2 does not work, 25% of the time the 9 doesn't work...and so on. I have gone back to Gingerbread EL29, tried ICS FF18....FH13, I've used custom ROMs and those made no difference. There seems to be a few people who have had this problem as well, but there have not been any responses to help that I have seen.

Your problem sounds like it might be different since you say you can't hear specific digits when you press the keypad, and this makes it so you can't log in.
I couldn't log in to my debit card today. I called my healthcare HSA debit card, and when I tried entering my 16 digit card number, their system kept stopping me after about 13-14 digits and would say it doesn't recognize the account number, then ask me to re-enter the 16 digit number. I tried about four times with the same results. I was using my speakerphone every time.
All I had to do was call back and NOT use the speakerphone. It worked first time and every time I tried! Another thing that works if I want to use my speakerphone is go into audio settings and un-check "Audible touch tones".
I think the loud speaker phone was causing their system to hear double presses sometimes.
Recently I have been having a problem with error 16. It happened of course when I activated on boost mobile. Then 3 days later it hit me 2 days in a row. And now a week later I am getting error 16 again. Did some research and couldn't find a fix. I know how to get it to go away I just need a way to make it stop repeating. Any info? Thanks

Did you flash your phone yourself or did you pay to have someone do it for you? I know how to fix the error but lets figure out why it keeps happening also. The only time I've ever got that error is when I first activated the phone. Also, did you have to apply a fix each time it gave you the error or did it fix itself?

How do you fix i have recently been having the same issues. it comes and goes. ill make a call and sometimes get the error then i just hang up and try again then will usually fix itself
The only time this happens to me is when I turn on the donor phone, I don't even have to make a call with it, and then turn on the Evo.
This is the only time this ever happens to me.
In my experience error 16 happens when Boost initiates an OTA PRL update and when the flashed phone does not respond correctly (as a Boost phone would) it is flagged and error 16 results.
What you need to do to avoid it is to wait for an automatic PRL update after you activate the donor phone and only then flash the receptor phone.
Error 16 is a "Sprint" security Flag. It not related to Boost at all. What typically causes it is the radio still has some of the old MEID or ESN locations. When you flashed your new phone did you find the correct amount of locations in hex memory? I think 9 for MEID and 11 for ESN? Any less and the old info is still in hex memory and it will NOT authenticate. When you do your ##debug# I bet you'll see AN/AAA authentication = failed or so... check that out.
As far as clearing it, the only I know is to let the call go thru to Sprint. They will verify your Boost account and then reset your account. But if the phone is not fully flashed it will work but error out again later on.
hello i got this error and let teh call go through but instead of sending to a rep it just says please contact your customer support provider at the end -- it hap[pened before but it went to asprint rep who helped me.. any ideas?
I don't know if it's actually related, but I'm getting that error only when I change Network Name through Service Programming from Sprint to Boost Mobile. After i verified account by talking to rep that error never happened again to me. Bt I'm still on old baseband and a PRI for over a month without any issue (except for battery life). Will update PRI and baseband now to see what is gonna happen.
Does anyone know is it ok to update NV from this thread?
[ Radios ][ 9-5 ] All EVO Radio, WiMAX, PRI, NV & HBoot versions
just stay on the line and talk to the rep. they know exactly whats wrong and will fix no ??? asked. just remember to tell them the donor phone when asked what kind of phone
I've had this problem also anytime I turn on the donor phone, it's a super easy fix and you don't have to talk to anyone. What you need to do is find a temporary MEID, there's a topic at http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...ow-ESN-s-for-activations-here-(NO-QUESTIONS!) with tons of them (many are in use but look around) than (while leaving your donor phone off) go into your My Account on the boost website and change your MEID to the temporary MEID, wait a few minutes and change the MEID back to your correct MEID. This will fix the error number 16 problem. Keep in mind as well than anytime I've done this Ive left my Evo turned on, didn't have to restart or anything.
A second solution as the post above, you could wait on the line and tell them you're just trying to make a call, give them the description of your donor phone and they will call you back on another number and have you make a test call etc (make sure you do it from your Evo). They may or may not need to call you back though, this is just what I've always been told. The only solution I ever needed with this problem is the first one.

Cool thanks i will try your first method next time!!
Offering to sell a service is against the rules. Posting a paid service will warrent a ban
Error 16 Fix!! Only if you have a 2nd working BM cellphone.
I believe that BM Reps are now aware of the main cause of Error 16; Consequently, they may some times be hard to convince....Anyways here is a work around:
You need a 2nd working BM cellphone ( let's call it replacement cellphone), that is not active on any other account:
PS: Your donor phone is not what I am talking about ( matter of fact you should take its battery out and hide it somewhere in your basement )
By Flashed phone I mean your (EVO, EPIC, NEXUS....)
1- Turn OFF Both cellphones (replacement and flashed).
2- Log into your BM account, got to upgrade device, and activate the replacement cellphone
3- Turn ON the replacement cellphone (ONLY) and let it sync with the network... Test it by calling 611, if working call someone you know to double check...
4- Turn OFF replacement cellphone
4- Log into your BM account, got to upgrade device, and activate the Flashed cellphone
3- Turn ON the Flashed cellphone (ONLY) and let it sync with the network... Test it by calling 611, if working, call someone you know to double check...
Hit thanks if I helped you...
It's not that complicated. All you need to do when using this method to fix error 16 is:
1) log into boost acct, go to update handset and enter extra meid, click OK twice until you get to the screen with msl, msid, and phone number at the bottom of screen.
2) now go to main acct info screen and then click on update handset again, enter donor meid, click OK twice and you are set. Just make sure donor is off first and really you do not even have to turn off the flashed phone. I have done this probably 100 times this way with no problems.
Kc3 explained this a few posts above us already, but you don't have to wait more than a second or two before changing back.

The problem with this for me is that I'm grandfathered to the old Pay-as you-go. and if I change my handset I loose that service.
Any other suggestions?

Stay on the phone when you get the error 16, at the end an operator should get on the line, just make sure you tell them about the donor phone if they ask any questions, dont tell them about the flashed phone at all. If they ask, tell them you just went to make a call and started getting this error.
Hope this helps!
Hey everyone i need your help.
so i bought an htc evo 4g from craigslist already flashed to boost mobile the phone worked fine on the guy who i bought it from he gave me his boostmobile account info to transfer his phone to my acc. so i got home with the phone i transfered his account info to my boost account and now i cant get calls or anything no interenet nothing!! i look at the phone identity and it still has his number under it i called boost and they walked me through a procedure even did ##(some numbers)# to bring up a screen to put in my new number i did tht ut still nothing. it shows his number still in the phone identity im lost please help i spent 170$ and i want my phone to work some1 help me
do you know your Evo's MSL or SPC? If so, try pushing ##123456# (123456 should be your MSL) then on the pop up menu that comes up select "Edit Mode" then you need to change your MDN to your new number and you need to change the MSID to the new one too. If you already talked to Boost then hopefully you wrote these 2 numbers down. If not, call them again and tell them you switched numbers/phones and need to re-enter that info. Just tell them you need the new MDN and MSID so you do not have to sit and have them try and walk you through steps to that are not for the Evo. DO NOT tell them it is an Evo obviously. If you do not know your Evo's MSL then it is pretty easy to get through CDMA WS, pm me and I can help you with that part if necessary. Hope this helps, if you need anything else feel free to ask!
*If I have helped, please take a second to hit my thank you button*
thanks man now i need help with the internet its not working and i have no idea wat to do
Push ##33284# then select EVDO Engineering. Scroll all the way to the bottom an tell me what it says next to AN/AAA
Did you try going to settings, system updates, update profile yet? Also it can take up to 48 hours for everything to work IF it says 1- authenticated after AN/AAA
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
it says to 2=failed authentication
ive also tried up dating profile it would let me
If it says authentication failed then your AAA and HA keys are wrong. Did you get the donor phone from the guy you bought the Evo from???? If you did then it will be pretty simple to pull the correct AAA and HA keys from it.
If you do not have the donor, you might try ##786#, then hit menu then hit reset. Be warned, it will reset everything back to factory so make sure you back up anything worth saving first. When the phone resets itself, it will try to perform an OTA activation. I am wanting to say it should provision the AAA keys on its own after that (If I am wrong on this part, please feel free to step in and correct me guys)
what do i need to save to be backed up and i dont have doner phone
Dont think you can do that, tell you what I did. I bought an Evo also off ebay fixed the glass and found someone to flash it to boost. after 2 months with phone the 3g went out, tried to get help from flasher but no go, I found a guide myself and started testing, first flash success, so wanted to reflash my phone and only way to get it done was to buy a donor phone, attach it to your boost account, hook it up pull the info, reflash EVO and all done. You cant just take a phone and move it to your account, wont work.
You should have just left it the way it was, now you'll need to get a donor phone and start over, I did and doing fine now.
If you need help let me know.
Yep, I agree. If you do not have the donor, I would suggest buying a new one. Even if you do manage to fix data this time, you will have more problems later. The fact that you did not get the donor might mean the Guy is activating more than one evo with it and that means you might start getting the error 16 in the future. I have always given the donor back to the person I flashed for because I do not need it and more importantly I have no legitimate reason for keeping it.

Would this be the same steps if i call Boost and change my old number, im giving my EVO to my daughter but she doesnt want my number.
It will be the same steps as to changing the numbers in the setting once i enter the MLS???
