Help with Radios - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. Yesterday I rooted my phone using unrevoked 3 and flashed my phone to CM 6.1 stable and the invisiblek kernal #28. After hours of convincing myself to flash the radio to 11.19, i did. It worked great until later that night i forgot to dial that *22899 to reprogram my phone. I dialed the number the program was successful and i went the bed. I woke up the next morning to find out that i was on an extended network everywhere i go. i redialed that number and got the voice error:
"Message AP 32: Wellcome to U.S Cellular..."
also when i dial a 5 digit number or something it comes up with the us cellular error.
I reflashed it back to 7.28 and got the same error. Does anybody know how i can get back on to verizon's network? i used to be a USCC customer but i thought they deactivated my account.

Sounds like your epst settings might be messed up. You can get into epst to check by dialing ##778. Select edit, and the password is 000000 (6 zeros). You'll have to search some of the threads here for 'epst' to get some hints on how it should be set.

Unable to change prl on froyo.

Hi. I just got an evo from someone and unfortunately they had upgraded the system to 2.2 froyo ota. so right now the phone is stuck on digital roaming and there is no way for me to update the prl. I already tried with cdma workshop ver 3.5.5 paid, Qpst 2.7 build 355. on cdma workshop it says the new prl has been writen but the phone stays on roaming so is not writing the prl to the phone. on qpst it's giving me roaming list receive failed and it's failing to retrieve the phone's information. I also tried to update the prl from the phone settings but that's also failing. if anyone has any ideas please feel free to post them so I can try them thanks.
I was able to downgrade to 2.1 and root the phone using the new method but unfortunately my prl still says version 00000 and I'm still roaming anyone else has had this problem with the prl showing zero's and unable to change it.
Ok. Guys here is what i have tried so far. Cdma workshop. Qdxm qpst unicdma and ##775# to try to update the prl and all of there programs say the prl was successfully updated but once i check the prl version is 00000. Now i have 2 phones with the same issue, one working on sprint and the other on boost mobile i get all my phones from craigslist .. One of the phones became stuck on roaming after trying to repair meid with cdma workshop.. I have tried with several different prls. Tried to copy all the nv items from another evo that is not roaming but nothing helps i know the nam config is good because i compared with the evo that is working.. Everything on the phones work i'm able to make calls, mms,web browsing the only thing is that 3g is extremely slow and that i have the triangle on top of the signal bars..and on boost mobile once i drive a couple of blocks from my house and try to make a call it says verizon wireless your feature update was sucessfull and i'm not able to call until i return home. I'm sure the prl on these phones got corrupted somehow.. How can i repair a corrupted prl..i have done a least 10 android phones incredible, samsung moment,htc evo for family and friends and this is the first time i have ran into this issue.. If anyone knows ho to get rid of this corrupted prl please help me.. Also i have access to a couple of good evos and cdma workshop 3.6 i would like to try and copy the flash from the good working evo and put it on one of these with the corrupted prl but i have not been successful trying..thanks guys for all your help..
I'm assuming you have done the easy way already... ##786# for a factory reset, then battery out while the phone is at the white evo screen the SECOND time... leave the battery out for 15-30 minutes... battery in and power it on to boot. Should reactivate, update PRI if it needs it, and also update PRL. It is a factory wipe, but in your case, that should be no problem.

[Q] HELP !!!~Mobile Network "Turning On"~

I would firstly like to thank everyone here at these Forums ever since my first HTC Touch that I flashed over to MetroPCS several years back these forums have proven of great help... I am once again stumped and need some help.
I have an EVO with Froyo 2.2 , Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1 Rom & Radio Baseband 2.15.00.09.01 and PRI 1.77 I rooted and flashed it over to MetroPCS everything works, talk, text even wifi .... The only problem is the mobile network does not turn on it says - Mobile Network "Turning On" and appears grayed out. I have double checked all my settings both in CDMA Workshop and QPST, and haved tried every trick I have seen in every forum.. I already called MetroPCS and made sure its not a issue with my data plan or my account.... Can somebody please help me fix this issue I don't know what else to do... ???
did you ever find a fix for this? because I'm having the same problem now. I haven't made any changes to the phone since the last time it was working, which was earlier today. Now it says 'turning on' under mobile network and it's grayed out. already tried rebooting the phone - didn't help.
Running the latest rom from htc, rooted using unrevoked - i did that a few days ago.
No data/network connection here and the Sprint site is down too. WTF?

ah ok - i didn't check the sprint site. Sounds like there was nothing wrong with my phone then, must have been something with sprints network.
My 3g connection was backup this morning, again without me making any changes on the phone. So i guess it was some temporary glitch with sprint.
Mobile Internet stuck on "Turning on" on my Evo
Even I have same issue after undating my rooted EVO (with unrevoked) stock rom (OTA 4.0) with 2.15.00.09.01 Base BAND to 3.70.651.1 (OTA 7-ROOTED) with 2.15.00.11.19 Base Band. After this the phone was running OK for 3-4 days but then suddenly the Mobile Network "Turning On" issue cropped up . Then I installed EViO 2.0 series latest rom and for 2 days the problem disappeared. However, it again appeared making me flash MikFroYo 4.5 rom. But to no avail. The Mobile Network is not connecting at all. It is just showing "Turning On" when enabled eiher throught settings tab or from power button. But it can only be closed by power button. The details of my software is as below:
Android Version : 2.2
Base Band Version : 2.15.00.11.19
kernel version : 2.6.32.17-gee557fd [email protected] #15
build number : MikFroYo v4.5
Software number : 3.70.651.1
Browser version : webkit 3.1
PRI version : 1.90_003
Prl Version : 00001
Hardware version : 0004
Hboot - 0.97.0000
Please tell me how to make mobile network (internet) operational again as Iam in India with a measly 1x speed and I would like to use it.
Gentlemen kindly help
Regards,
Nitin
I have since figured it out it was related to some QPST settings that had red lines in it and even though i clicked in the text box and it appeared to be taking all the settings i was programming it required for me to click some other button the ctrl i believe in order to get rid of the line and be able to program the settings in correctly. I have since gotten my phone to work perfectly. In my experience any issue you have after putting a new ROM is just because it wasn't properly wiped search these forums their is an all in one wipe or manually use the recovery to wipe everything before putting a new ROM on. Also if any pay attention to the recommended baseband, radio and or kernel for each ROM. Also read each ROM details as some have specific purposes like MetroDroid ROM. I am currently using Myn's Warm Z Two Point Two ROM on my EVO on METRO PCS and it runs better & faster than any other ROM I have flashed so far not to mention the interface is sleek and clean.
Well at least we were able to come out in the green and learned a lesson along the way.

What accesses EPST?

Out of the 3 things that can be flashed (ROM, kernel, and radio), what accesses the EPST settings of the phone? I know radio is affiliated with it, but my epst settings also changed when i flashed the kernel. I just want to know what not to do when i get my replacement incredible. Thanks.
Which epst settings specifically?
If you dial *228 to update prl and whatnot it will revert any manual changes. That is the only time my epst settings have changed.
I'm not really sure which settings but I know at least my PRL changes. When i dial *228 i get a message saying they cannot reprogram my phone.
It has happened to me twice. Once when i flashed my radio to 11.19 and also when i flashed the incrediblek kernel to MIUI-gold 1.1.14 ROM while i was using the stock radio.
I know it changes because my reception changes to extended network and is only 1x. If if update the PRL it goes back the verizon network and sometimes i'll get 3G.
I have never heard or experienced any changes in the epst setting when flashing any combination of roms, kernels, or radio.
Those settings are programmed when you dial *228 option 1 to activate your phone and option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List.
But, to answer your original question:
What accesses EPST?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I would say that all 3 would because those settings tell the phone how to communicate with vzw's network.
Haha okay thanks. I'll just be more careful and thorough when reading directions then. I think I forgot to wipe the dalvik caches when i would flash the kernel/radio if that makes a difference...

[Q] Can't get cell service on AOSP Roms. *Fixed*

This all started when I formatted within clockworkmod and screwed up my partitions.
I had to revert back to stock to rebuild the structure of the phone. After stock, I re-rooted and flashed CM7.
I had no service(no calling, no data).
I flashed back to stock and found the problem.
I had to dial ##778 and change the number under the NAI to my phone number. See here.
Everything worked perfectly. I flashed skyraider and it still worked. Then I flashed CM6 and no luck.
And I can't do ##778 with AOSP roms and I'm not sure why the settings aren't going over. I've done *228, replaced the kernel and the radio. Still nothing.
Any other ideas?
Figured it out!
I flashed back to SkyRaider and dialed ##778
To find out, my NAM settings were wrong.
I put my phone number in for MDN and MSID, saved changes, flashed CM7 and it all works perfectly now.
Now I have to respond to all of these text messages
What carrier did you have 5 years ago when this happened? I have this problem now after repartitioning for cm13 and the dialer codes do nothing for me.

need help
