EVO Up on alltel, little help?

So, Got a sprint EVO for cheap. Sprint had the ESN flagged on sprint network because the owner of the phone's account hasn't been paid. Sold the phone to me, I restored it to factory default, running latest stock 2.2.
Steps taken to get to where I am now:
Used CDMA workshop (licensed 3.5.5) to read the SPC code, rewrote the spc code to 000000. I put an Alltel PRL file on the sd card, same one as my mother's Alltel Hero. Rooted the phone using revoked windows app, replaced the EPST.apk with the older version to allow ##775# (prl change), applied my PRL. Activated the phone on alltel, no problem at all getting it activated.
Call text working great... THEN... using CDMA Workshop, in the EVDO tab (similar function in QPST would be the PPP tab) and entered the HDR user name/pass, in alltel's case, UM is [email protected]/alltel and AN is [email protected]/HEXESN. Set under M.IP to have Simple IP only (read that this will fix the "data call failure" errors) Set profile 0 as active and changed the values to what looks to be the same from the Alltel Hero of my mothers only with my cell number in the fields. Set all nam values such as channels, MCC, etc.. correct, flashed. I then edited the telephony.db to alltel's MMS settings.
Phone's current state, what works, what doesnt..
3G is working great, MMS works perfectly, calling is perfect, SMS is perfect...
1X doesn't work AT ALL:
if I enter an area i KNOW 3G doesn't exist, it doesnt switch to 1X like my eris that i programmed to alltel did, just drops data completely if there's no 3G...
I don't seem to get the Data Call Failure message much at all up until I try to run the "wireless tether" app, it pops up like CRAZY and 3G disconnects every time it pops up.
Phone says I'm roaming constantly, I know I have the latest smartphone PRL for my area and MCC codes etc in the nam are set EXACT to my mothers htc alltel hero and hers doesnt report roaming at all... what gives??? Maybe this is the cause of all my problems...
##DEBUG# screen > EVDO, at the bottom, says AUTHENTICATED and I have an IP address, stays solid like that in a 3g area.
Anyone like to help me out? What values do I may have incorrect for 1X to entirely not work at all but 3G works just fine??.. Being that 1X doesnt work, it seems to cause issues sometimes initializing a connection because it seems like 3G goes dormant/sleep after a while and maybe relies on 1X to be connected to keep a constant connection to the network. And.. this whole Data call failure thing is just obnoxious? Anyone truly find the result to this? Obviously has something to do with sprint, 4G is turned off, all the sprint .APK's are removed.
Being that the phone still has sprint options in Mobile Network Settings such as "Roaming" "Data roaming" etc.. could this be causing problems? How do I go about removing ALL of sprints network options on this phone???
thanks a whole lot... excited to see this phone working on the alltel network, would like to press on and get it working flawlessly.

Hey Steve I remember you from over at HoFo. Your Eris info helped me out getting some of my own issues worked out. I am still interested in what work you did to get your mms working in and out. I looked at the telephony.db once but didn't place a lot of effort in to it. So as it stands I get incoming but unable to send mms. So any insight from you would be greatly appreciated. But I will try and see if I can help you with what you have going on.
First I found that programming the Evo was more of a pain than when I did the HTC DInc on Alltel. In my area PRL 31005 is pushed to Alltel smart phones. It is the same PRL I used on the DInc with no issues. The Evo would insist that I was roaming with it. I switched to a non-divested PRL(30057) and haven't had an issue since. Google "answerman prl" for the download for Alltel PRLs. I have rocked with that PRL for over 3 months now. My roaming option is set for automatic in the mobile network settings and the only other thing I have checked there is data roaming, which I can disable with no problem.
Now if you go back to your HoFo thread I wrote that when I got the Evo I only had 1X data. It wasn't until after I went back over your thread and some other stuff that I managed to get 3G working. I used CDMA workshop(3.6.0 Licenced) And wrote the same things as you did. Only I have Mobile + Simple IP set and profile 1. Now I will say this. First I tried to set to profile 0 but when going into ##DATA#, the phone would always insist it wanted to use profile 1 even after having previously writing the data. So I created another profile in CDMA workshop, duplicated the data I had for 0 and made 1 active instead of 0. I had also previously never had issues with the "Data call failure" until the past month or two. After I rooted and moved from the stock rom I used CM6 for a good while even flashing nightlies and never had a problem. I only moved back to a Sense based rom when I was trying to troubleshoot an issue where my data would disconnect and would not re-establish for several minutes or until after a reboot. I was using juice defender at the time and incidently this was also around the time I updated my radio/PRI etc. So when I went to a random Sense rom this error message threw me off and I was sure something was wrong with the phone. But I have seen plenty of posts about it so idk. I run Myn's Warm 2.2 now. On rls1 I would get the DCF's frequently but not so much on rls 2, maybe once in a blue moon. I don't use juice defender anymore and I have also stopped using Set CPU as it conflicts with my current kernel anyway. *shrug* So no idea what truely makes the phone happy and not give me that error as much.
Hope this helps you.

Wow, that was a MESSAGE.
Thanks a whole lot for that.
For MMS:
When I use anycut to access the APN's on my Evo it shows it shows no apn's at all. I didn't add any and left it alone. Now...
I have attached the telephony.db file I edited with Root Explorer and SQL Lite editor. If you open the file in the editor, you'll see what I changed... It was simply an APN specifically for MMS use, changed it to alltel's values and.. BAM, perfect MMS.
Path:
/data/data/com.android./providers/telephony/databases/
Permissions are to be set to
USER: READ CHECKED - WRITE CHECKED
GROUP: READ CHECKED - WRITE CHECKED
No other's checked.
After replacing the telephony.db file, no reboot required, you should be set to send and receive MMS without any issues at all. If it fails, restart the phone or force quit messages and relaunch.
I will try that PRL you mentioned above, I am also on 31005... reports as the same PRL on my mother's alltel hero though, hmm.. doesn't make sense of why my phone still says I'm roaming.
I will also play with cloning profile 0 and profile 1 and switch back to sim+mobile IP mode...

Thread moved to Q&A.

Thanks I will give this a roll when I get home this evening. I hope that some of what I've given you will be helpful. I've been enjoying the phone and I will enjoy it even more I know once I get the MMS thing cleared up. Keep me up to date on what's going on.

Played with everything, did exactly as you said, still no 1X, if I go to ##data and tell it to use CDMA only (turn EVDO off), it just goes to no data at all while my Eris would just stick to 1x in that mode.
odd.
Can someone explain WHAT it is that allows a handset to receive the HA/AAA shared keys when a *228 activation is requested?
We all know that taking for example a Sprint phone and applying an alltel PRL to the radio ... that when activating it WILL NOT receive the HA/AAA keys for data...
Is it the AKEY ? Is it something else in the memory?
An old PPC6800 I have that was SPRINT.. it was a bugger getting data to work, just would NOT receive the HA/AAA keys or anything when *228ing the phone, as soon as I applied the Alltel Rom with the Alltel NV items, it activated without an issue and received all the correct NV items for data and all, worked perfect. How can we do this with the latest smartphone?...
Is it possible I can clone the NV items from my mother's HTC Alltel Hero and write them to my sprint Evo ?
What do you guys think?

Steve check your PM
I never had to do this myself so don't know how applicable it is.

I installed the file and assigned the permissions, now app just blows up when I try to send a pic msg. Any ideas?

STRANGE !
What messaging app are you using?
I am running stock latest OTA... So all the stock apps are installed, minus all the sprint stuff and a few other htc pre-loaded software I have taken out with root explorer.
Should be working perfectly. I have no idea what the deal is.
Did you go to Messages>menu>settings>connection settings and see if the values have changed?

I use Chomp SMS but it did the same with the native messaging app as well.

That's really strange. MMS still online and working flawlessly for me on alltel.
Phone still says I'm roaming though. Mother's HTC Alltel Hero in the same town is not roaming, both flashed with the same PRL and the NAM info looks identical in cdma workshop.
You sure your APN lists are empty? Mine is, no APN's at all in the APN viewer.

HTC Evo 4g on Bell Mobility

Hello
So I managed to get my HTC Evo on Bell, I can make calls and send text messages, however I have no data connectivity. I have been trying to search forums and read up on how to solve this but I have not been able to find a solution yet. The phone seems to be stuck on Mobile Network "Turning On" forever.
The phone is NAND unlocked and rooted I have the Home SID/NID set to 16420 and 65535 like they should be for bell. The MCC is 302 for Canada. The MNC appears to be problematic though, as bell's CDMA is on MNC 651 but I can only enter 2 characters on the EPST settings for MNC? If anyone knows the settings I need to use to get this working on Bell I would be willing to compensate them for their effort since I have an unlimited data plan with Bell right now that I am missing out on !
Thank you
I have also started getting the Data Call Failure + Voicemail errors after getting my phone on bell.

I am in the same boat, I have spent over 10hrs. working on this. The MNC is 64 {640 truncated to 64}.
If you have any more success let me know please.
The problem for me lies in the m.ip settings.

Guys did you try posting in the Evo section? there might someone who can help or you could ask the Bell CS to help you configure it,
here is some i found, let me know if its helpful, its for telus, but you could follow instructions tho
http://cytraxtech.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-program-your-htc-evo-to-work-on.html

hmm well i set the MNC to the correct value.... i guess the only way to fix this is to actually go to the bell store and get them to give me all the info for the network.... but that presents a problem as the evo is known as an omnia on my account ;p

Call them lol, tell them your phone got messed up

Wondering if you can help me out getting my evo working on telus (Talk/text). Its unlocked. Im trying to zero out MEID/ESN (which is what i was told i need to do) .. Been trying for a while and still no luck!
Im desperate .. and would really appreciate the help!
Thanks

jmathieu2 the only way you can get your phone to work... is if you already have a cdma phone from telus so that you have a meid in their database to work with. then you have to zero out your evos meid and change it to the other phones meid,
you need htc diag drivers, cdma workshop full* costs $100, qxdm, and qpst and a lot of luck : -D i can do it for you if you live in the toronto or kingston area

The MNC 640 is
640 Bell Bell Mobility Operational UMTS 850 / UMTS 1900
651 Bell Bell Mobility Operational CDMA 800 / CDMA 1900
this is what we need for the evo so how do we enter 651 when we only have 2 characters space!

Here's my update
Using ##debug
under EVDO Engineering I have AN/AAA Authenticated, however, I have no IP
Getting Error 67 pretty regularly
I know the profiles are setup differently when comparing under QPST, on the EVO verses the TP2 for instance. The EVO seems to require using Profile 1 as the default, whereas the TP2 uses Profile 2.
I need to understand the mapping to the different profiles and how Bell uses them.. Bell uses MIP.1x.bell.ca and Services.1x.Bell.ca.
I assume MIP would be used to acquire the IP, based on the name, but I am having no luck at this. been a while now. frustrated doesn't begin to describe it.
I know someone who was succesful on telus, using 220 (22) for the MNC, and since it works for him I am going to use 640 (64) which is the same UMTS 850 / UMTS 1900, I know the phone is an 800/1900, but.....
I updated my build.prop as outlined on Program Evo for Telus
Anyone else have any luck on Bell, or have any insights on my questions?

Thanks for the reply. However I am not in the area About 8-9 hours north.
I do have a telus cdma phone currently (Blackberry curve 8330)
I have all the tools except I am not using the full version of cdma workshop.
I have already zero'ed our 9 MEID numbers and then re scanned the memory but not finding anything. I'm wondering If i might be scanning the wrong memory locations?!
evo has 2 readable ranges
0x00fa0000 - 00ff0000 ( 500000 bytes)
0x01080000 - 0x01D70000 ( 13500000 bytes)
Are the locations im scanning in CDMA ws under memory tab - Memory / Eeprom section. Then I open the output .bin file and search for my MEID number .. etc!
My phone is baseband 2.15.00.09.01 / Hardware version 0004
If you could PM me or give me some tips for scanning memory to find the MEID/ESN's to zero that would be great.

there are more ranges if you have 2.2
only thing i can really say is you just go into qxdm and 0 out the meid and reboot the phone and if its all 0 then you did it right... some of them are hard to see when trying to 0 it out make sure you didnt miss anything

I think its my scans in cdma ws that are incorrect.
I scanned memory location 00F9:8000 and 0107:C000 and found most MEID there and used 2 addresses i found online and found 2 more ..
Just not sure where to scan in cdma ws to find more.

Was there anything special you did you get it to get authenticated?
Am working on a Hero, but don't think it should make a difference. I've re-checked all the passwords, just can't seem to figure out why it won't connect.

What carrier are you with?

Also Bell. The only thing I see is the PRI is different, and did not know how/if to change it.

I have never gotten ANY data connection.
If you have 1x, can you please tell me your setup. I believe my problem is in the profiles in QPST. Not sure when to use services.1x.bell.ca, when to use 3g.1x.bell.ca etc. Also, what is your Donor phone? Mine is an HTC Touch, so ESN only, no MEID.
as far as PRL, I am using 31402

Fusion600,
I am researching this before I buy an EVO. I won't bother if I can't get a data connection.
I have my HTC touch 6900 running Android 2.2 It is using MCC/MNC of 310620 and I get data, so i don't think it really matters as long as the ESN is registered with Bell.
Have you made any further progress getting data working? Anyone risk calling Bell? or having them refresh your programming?

I have asked a few bell kiosk and have called in for help. There employees all seem to want to help but dont seem to know how to. I have now managed to get txt and calls to work from doing a little research. I will ask again and see if they can help now with providing some details about setting up data connections. will post if success.

any progess on this?? any one?? msg here or pm me thanks im tying to figure out the data stuff as well for bell

Sorry to bump an old thread, but any news on this? I have an Evo 3D from Rogers and want to bring it to Bell/Virgin mobile. I unlocked it for 8$ from a website for sim unlocking. I get calls and txts but same thing as you guys, no data >.<

[Q] Evo on MetroPCS- says ROAMING?

I'm trying to finish getting an evo to metropcs for a friend. I did everything you need to do to get to the point of "activation". I put a newer Metro prl on the phone that works here in the ny area... but when i try to activate it or even call I get redirected to a verizon operator. The signal bar says I'm roaming and where it should say "MetroPCS" on the lockscreen its says"Analog B". Will an evo on metro pcs even work in the NY area? If not I just wasted a huge amount of time

Did you get the esn registered to metropcs? must I add must be considered coorperate store

I didnt get my esn registered with metropcs because I assumed it was already registered.. Should I go ahead and try to do that, and if I do do you think they will they even allow me to?

If I'm correct the instructions you've provided will only allow me to connect to the towers that my PRL tells me too. Which makes sense since having it set to "automatic" will allow to roam and connect to a verizon tower, due to a roaming agreement between metro and verizon. Thanks for that hint. So I just did as instructed and It says I have no service (the little "x" by the bars.) oh I also followed these steps to re-start a hands free activation:
Steps:
1. Dial ##3282#
2. Enter Edit Mode
3. Enter your MSL
4. Select Data Profile
5. Menu
6. Restore
7. Let Phone Reboot, and Wait and the Hands Free Activation will Start.
and of course It didn't work because i have no service

Damn...I'm at a loss here...
Yep...get the esn set up with metro...

Damn guess I better, thanks for the input. I appreciate it

I realized that the esn on this evo is already added to the metro network.. due to some unmentionable modifications. I simply cant get service to activate the phone..

[Q] error code 67 and carrier tower

hey, my evo is rooted and am running sense 3.5. this is the new rom i got because i thought it might help the problem. however, it didnt work. i am trying to use 3g but a message saying error code 67 keeps popping up. how do i get my 3g to work? i thought i had to update my profile, bu the rom doesnt have that so i installed a new rom, which didnt make a difference. great rom thought!
also, i dont like sprints service, which i why i want to use verizons network. i can roam manually, but i want to make sure i am using verizon and not another carrier. how do i check which tower or carrier i am using.

You need a sense 1.0 rom or a stock rooted rom to update prl and profile, you have to change your prl manually to force vzw 3g use it too much and sprint WILL boot you if you force roam normally you will only get 1x on whoever has the stronger signal in your area could be vzw could be usacellular could be metropcs could be any of sprints subsidiaries like virgin or boost manually changing your prl to a vzw one will guarantee vzw coverage BUT use too much data and get the boot use too many voice minutes get the boot and while using vzw they will use your anytime minutes no free mobile to mobile or nights and weekends so be prepared
We are legion, for we are many

prl
so how can i change my prl so it only roams on verizon?
if it is always roaming on verizon, will there be an additional charge for the 1x signal i will be getting?
i dont use that much 3g nor do i talk a lot. however, i text a lot! will that affect any additional charges?
i want to use vzw without any additional charges or having to get into any problems with sprint nor verizon with our contract.

If you continue to roam on Verizon you will receive a letter from Sprint telling you you need to cancel your service.

Put corp prl 24006 on my note II, no need to be rooted.

This does not work on lk8 and later updates. see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042277 to add back prl write function.
I got corp prl 24006 unzipped it, renamed it test.prl, put it on my internal card. Dial ##data# then click on write prl and write prl again, phone should reboot with 24006 prl. This only works on touchwhiz. I set it to automatic network and made sure I have roaming guard off.
I get no signal with out my airave here, which doesnt make sense because the samsung intercept gets 2-3 bars without it. Our cable goes out every now and then so I dont want to be stuck with out a phone. This prl allows you to roam on other carriers.

If you ever update your prl in the future it will wipe out this one and you will have to redo the install on the dialer.
I took the update on my phone and it restored my old prl, so I had to reinstall it. If you left the file on your sd card just start at the dialer directions.
I cant take credit for any of this info, other than being the first one to try it on the note 2.

Renamed it TEST.prl it accepted /rebooted and shows 24006 as the prl but im not roaming still. Are you forcing it to room?

I set it to automatic network and made sure under roaming that all boxes were checked. this seems to be backwards from the GS3. once all boxes were checked I have 3 bars.

The stock PRL on these phones is 55008... wouldn't it be bad to go to a PRL designed for a different phone not to mention with a lower number?

Its not for a different phone, its for a corporate account. Corporate prls are different. IT will not ruin your phone. It allows you to roam on other carriers.

I've attempted to locate the posting you linked to your message, unfortuanetly it is not longer there, is there another location for this corp prl?

I would assume the big difference in the PRL numbers is because the Galaxy Note 2 has GSM bands as well. Does Sprint allow roaming on At&t towers?

Even if the Sprint Note 2 does still have GSM active, we couldn't roam on GSM networks because the phone doesn't have a SIM, nor does it have a place to put a SIM. No SIM no GSM access.

A little tidbit on PRLs guys:
1. Please...please..please...stop spreading the lies that 24xxx is a corporate PRL. It's far from it.
2. Looking for a VZW 3G roaming PRL? Try 56xxx or 16xxx for LTE/800SMR devices.
3. But what about 12124 or 11119? 12xxx is missing the MCC/MNC records needed for some LTE chipsets, it also has the 800SMR channels/SIDS as lower priority than PCS. 11119? Don't even touch it unless you are on say the original EVO or Epic.
4. No CDMA PRL will ever have anything to do with GSM. Get it? It's a CDMA PRL, GSM doesn't use PRLs.
5. Can I get a PRL to enable VZW LTE? Nope. Your phone isn't auth'd for it nor is it setup for it.
6. Well what is 55xxx? It's a PRL for LTE devices but it does not have 800SMR support at this time. What does this mean? You could be in Chicago in a thick walled building and your buddy pulls out his GS3 or EVO LTE that has a stock PRL on it, his phone would have coverage from Sprint on the 800mhz channel and you would have no coverage or either be roaming.
7. Why doesn't it have 800SMR since the phone support it? Don't know.
8. What other phones have this 55xxx PRL? iPhone and Photon Q LTE or whatever it's name is.
and continue on with the other list of PRL myths...

There have been multiple threads all over xda saying that 24006 is a corporate prl. if it isnt, then what is it? and why is everyone saying it is?

Because someone decided to start that rumor. Corporate prls to me roam on VZW 3g, 24xxx doesn't do this so it isn't corporate in my book.

Help with putting the prl on my Note II.
Sorry for my ignorance, but when you say "put it on my internal card," where exactly do you mean? I downloaded the zip file you mentioned, renamed it to test.prl, dragged into the root storage for the phone, and followed the rest of the steps but I get a message saying there is not test prl file on the SD card.
Could you please help? Many thanks.

Sorry for my ignorance, but when you say "put it on my internal card," where exactly do you mean? I downloaded the zip file you mentioned, renamed it to test.prl, dragged into the root storage for the phone, and followed the rest of the steps but I get a message saying there is not test prl file on the SD card.
Could you please help? Many thanks.

It worked for me. Make sure you have your MSL code to get in the programming.

What are you using the msl code for? any extra settings that your adding like a force to roam ? I was able to load several different test.prl's without the MSL but Im not able to MAKE my phone roam. Theres a very weak weak sprint signal that it tries to hold on to If i was able to get my msl and tweak it to roam it would be Awesome!
