I'm trying to flash my evo to metro pcs and every time i try to enter ##DIAG# into my phone it doesn't go through i get sprint telling my that my account isn't active. The window that is supposed to pop up doesn't what should I do?
Heres the tut telling me what I have to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=704161
not sure if this was resolved but what rom are you running, i believe it makes a difference as some roms and kernels don't have diag support
You may need epst 2.1. Search the forums for an epst2.1 apk . I believe epst has been updated in froyo to disable certain commands.
(##prl# is another one that probably doesn't work for you).

I flashed the rom using IMCokeMan's cool tool and then installed a bunch of apps.
But then I found that while the device can see the EVDO network, as soon as a program tries to use it, the program stalls and then waits for the phone to revert to using the 1X (GPRS?) method.
Any idea how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
RS

what rom did you flash to, was it a custom rom off ppcgeeks, or did you flash with an elf (gsm) rom
the vogue (CDMA) touch uses 1xRTT slower data and EVDO which is the faster (3G) data, not gprs like GSM devices
Used CokeMan Vogue Rom
I just followed these directions:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=12255&page=2
I have the Sprint Vogue and that rom is supposed to be for Vogue.
I keep trying the "initiate custom nai entry to device" under settings->phone->internet->get settings.
My phone can see the EVDO but cannot use it. It defaults to 1X and drains the hell out of my battery.
It's possible it's a sprint outage in SF, but I don't know.

i would post in the forum for the individual who made the rom (usually they have a thread going on over there at ppcgeeks.com) honestly i dunno why your using a custom rom on the touch there isnt any out with any new features really (yet) if anything they have the OEM rom so you can flash back, otherwise call tech support your device may need to be re-provisioned which would require tech support to assist with
Only 1xrtt fix
This happened to me too. Call sprint tech support and have them do a depro repro on your account. Basically they reset your vision setting on your account and force a OTA provisioning.
Re
Me too noobs in these things and flushed my rom and got in serious trouble and called pc expert and get fixed
Same prob found this
##778 choose edit,to unlock s/b 000000, tap view info, then security make sure the HDR AN AUTH Password is your phones ESN
You just need to update your roaming list. Call support and they will give you a program code to call to update the roaming list. That is all that is wrong.
Cheers.
I know this topic has been covered but after reading through the threads i found no solution.
After i flash a custom rom, i get ERROR CODE 67: username password in correct. I know how to resolve it on OEM Sprint Roms. It requires you to go into EPST.exe by typing ##3282# on the dial pad. then MENU-RESET..
but with any of these custom ROMs when you hit ##3282# it does not take you to the EPST.EXE program to even access the utility..
Am i missing the file, or the carrier cab? If someone knows how i can get this working so i can verify the username, password, shared secret... This is required to get this specific phone working.. I have flashed 5 of the same types of phones, with no problem... but there is one phone i have problems with the provisioning... so i need to verify these settings but can't...
Any input would be appreciated..
When i call sprint, they tell me to access the utility but it does not work and i dont want to tell them i am running a ROM that is non-OEM...

for now use ppckitchen.org's kitchen (for vogue obviously) and just be sure to cook a rom that includes "phone codes". this should solve your problem.
When I try to save the PPP settings for verizon (they are currently set to: [email protected] and I need to change to [email protected]), the settings continue to revert back to alltel!!! I really need some help with this - why would I be able to change every other setting via QPST except for PPP username and psw? Does anyone know if this has something to do with the registry? Thanks so much!
"I'm not really sure why you are editing these fields in QPST or why you would need to. If you have Verizon, flash with the latest WM6.1 that Verizon released, then flash with this ROM. Once you do *228 and get activated these settings will all be configured automatically."
I did that - I need these settings corrected so that I can access data. I am unable to do so because the settings keep reverting back to [email protected], even after I just changed them! I just now flashed back to the Sprint Stock ROM with radio 3.43 and still is unchanged!
I don't know what to do... I'm really freaking out - I did flash to an alltel ROM in the past, but why aren't the newer ROMS overwriting the old PPP settings???? Is it a radio problem (shouldn't be because I just flashed with Sprint radio ROM)
In any case, no matter what ROM I use, I cannot edit the PPP username and psw - it always reverts back to alltel. Does anyone know what I should do? Thanks!
P.S - I also installed the dcd Verizon Wireless carrier cabs and still no go...
I'm not really sure why you are flashing with all these different ROMS to be quite honest. I'm assuming that when you flash with these ROMS you aren't letting customs run? What ROM are you eventually going to be using? Do you care about being able to enable GPS?
All I care about right now is getting the PPP username and password changed.
It seems as though I cannot access the nvm folder using EFS File Explorer. I am trying to use QXDM, but I have no idea how to use it. Does anyone know what the commands are for changing PPP in QXDM?

Dude...flash with the official Verizon ROM linked below. Let customs run. Once complete dial *228 and choose option #1. Once that is complete you may have to call #8899 to get a new authentication key. Make sure your phone is unlocked with the 2.31 imcokeman unlocker, which I assume it is since you are already flashing away with various ROMs. Once you do this your settings will be fixed. You shouldn't be editing them the way you are trying. REFLASH WITH OFFICIAL VERIZON ROM...nuff said.

This is what I would do as well. What radio on you on. You say 3.43, but there is no 3.43. Check in Device Info in settings.
It souunds like you flashed an altel rom and let custmizations run.
Try flashing the stock rom (from verizon) and let customizations run. Then follow the steps to listed earlier in this thread (think the site was wiki pda) to get aGPS running. I wouldn't call Verizon for an A key until you are done flashing. Then the easy way to repopulate your phone is to go online to verizon my account and activate another phone on your line, then active your 6900. When you do this it automaticlly sends a new A key and don't have to try and explain to tech why you need it done.
Good luck
Okay I am doing that now. You are correct, I did let customizations run...
However, I was able to forcibly edit the NV Items using CDMA Workshop and that seemed to work...until I tried to edit the password with QPST. So I will give it a try and if it still doesn't work, I will just re-write the NV Items everytime I use QPST. Thanks guys.

The sreps I was refering to were in the rom thread, but here is a link.

I would be very careful changing stuff to verizon already.
I went into the alltel store and they won't even activate a verizon phone yet
because if you have verizon software they will bill you on a different account on verizon (if you're still under an alltel contract), which means that you will be being billed per minute and for data as a pay as you go plan.
she said this is because verizon and alltel billing systems aren't fully integrated yet.
so if you haven't resigned a verizon contract yet, meaning you're still on your original alltel contract, be careful.
Hi... i just finished rooting and trying to flash my HTC EVO over to metro pcs. all was supposed to happen smoothy but sadly it didn't. The problem is when the metro pcs people try to program my number into the phone using ##000000# it won't let them access that menu. They told me i might have to factory reset then try, but then i would lose all my info... I'm running 2.3 ota, is there anything i can do to get my phone working with metro...plz plz plz help....mind you this has been going on for two weeks now and i have spent to much money trying to fix the problem...thanx
Google MSL Finder or Locator and use that to determine what your MSL is because it is not the 6 zeroes.
Once determined, you can provide it to MPCS or change it to 000000.
Hope this helps.
Cant finish Flashing Port help???
Hey I have scanned many forums on help for cdma WS not many explain in good detail how to use CDMA for flashing to metro Pcs. I cant seem to find the port for my phone once connected to computer to start up the process I have windows 7 64bit it doesnt show a modems nor Ports selection in device manager anyone with same problem? Picture is attached
I have a evo 4g on verizon and I have backed up all info in qpst and used qxdm to get ha secret and aaa secret both 32 digits long. Was wanting to know if I flash a custom rom would I loose carrier settings? Also i believe I would loose the ability to use epst, to get in diag mode to restore settings in qpst if custom rom removed my settings so is there a way or guide that I could follow so that I could maintain my service and not mess anything up or should I leave well enough alone?
Some people have said it can happen but me and a lot of other people have never had a problem. I have my EVO on Boost Mobile and within the last week alone I've flashed like 5 different ROMS and it has never touched any of my settings (Which it shouldn't anyway). Only thing you may need to change is the MMS server settings and as long as you flast a sense ROM you'll have EPST and be able to access all the codes. If you flash an AOSP ROM then yes, you won't have EPST. Hope this helps!
thanks bro bout to give it a shot (fingers crossed)
worked perfectly and fixed my camera also
