Verizon to CSouth Programming? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Evening everyone!
I just got a hold of an HTC Desire to upgrade my line from the HTC Hero. So, after an ESN transfer, it's all set, but now I'm stuck in Digital Roaming, and I can't get a hold of data. I've got an unrooted(can root) HTC Desire to pull settings from, but I'm trying to figure out a way to get the Cellular South data onto this phone. I'm not sure if I could take a Nandroid from the other phone and restore it here, or if I need to use the DATA and EPST codes to continue manually programming this phone. Any advice would be helpful!
~Ark
[EDIT] It's a PRL issue. I can't pull the PRL from the *228 command in order to get the file, and I haven't found the file online either. Currently working with a specialist concerning the issue, but if anyone can extract the file, it would be greatly appreciated.

HELP! PPP settings permanently stuck on Alltel...

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.
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
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.

[Q] Droid Incredible on Sprint - PRL corrupted - Roaming list receive failed

Hello everyone
I was trying to help my friend to flash his droid incredible to SPRINT network. The original phone has bad esn and it was locked by Verizon. ESN was repaired with QXDM with working NAM0/1 profiles. However the phone seems to stuck at the roaming stage with 1xRTT connection only. I believe PRL data was corrupted but I was unable to resolve this issue. Phone is rooted , with Android 2.2
Here are the steps I have tried so far
Tried to update PRL file with EPST (##PRL#, version 2.2 and 2.1) , but the PRL version still shows '000000' ,
Tried to update PRL with CDMA workshop 2.7, PRL version still shows '000000' , still stuck at romaing
tried to use QPST, Service programing, error message indicate "roaming list receive failed" while reading the data from phone.
tried factory rest, ROM downgrade, Radio image upgrade , but the error still occurs.
tried to write PRL file using QXDM 2.08 prl_wirte command, error still occurs.
I also key in several MSID corresponding to my friend's home address, but the error still occurs.
I found out this problem is very common, but it seems no one has a proper solution.
I am thinking to manually write the PRL data in hex, but I am afraid to brick my friend's phone.. before I try this, I will like to know if anyone has a solution for this error.. thank you for your help.
Afaik or at least what I can remember from different thread that if you have a PRL of all zero's that the only solution is to have the carrier push the prl to the phone. This means bringing it to tech support. Though I think in this case only Verizon is able to do this and I'm sure sprint wont do it since it's not a sprint phone.
I think Verizon and Sprint made a deal with each other not to allow each others phones on their networks.
What do you mean bad ESN and you fixed it? I haven't heard of anyone repairing a bad ESN as a bad ESN is the carrier blacklisting it due to a balance remaining on the account it was tied too or reported stolen.(unless this was a technical problem with the phone ESN being broken for what ever reason.)
From what I've seen before on this forum, it's best not to discuss "repairing" an MEID/ESN. There are other places more suited to that discussion.
But, as for provisioning a phone from one carrier to another...
I have a friend who went through a similar process. In that case the phone reported a valid Verizon PRL rev number and QPST was able to rewrite it with the Sprint PRL with no problems. It might be a silly question but are you entering the SPC in QPST?
You're right any talk about "repairing" ESN and so forth are best left else where as we don't want to violate the forum policy's.
@SDHank
So your friend was able to get a working Verizon Incredible onto Sprint? Can you document that process? I was looking to do the same thing.
hey i have a solution for the prl.
i ran into the same problem.
email me so we can talk with out being judged for having an inc on sprint

[Q] Get 'Unauthorized' when trying to make calls, will not OTA

I am using the Jiminy V Rom on Cricket
I am unable to OTA or make calls on the Cricket network. when I try and make a call I get 'Unauthorized' and when I try to OTA (*228) the system says 'unable' at the very beginning. I have done many EVO's to cricket before, and I have checked and double checked all my PST settings, my MEID/MIN/MDN/PRL particularly.
Even when OTA doesnt work , I can always get voice/text working on virtually any other phone by manually programming the MDN/MIN/Home SID & PRL.
My cricket home SID is 4923 & I am using PRL 32200
I have even loaded a working evo's PST settings into this phone (via QPST, read from one phone, write to another), and get same results even after making sure the MDN/MIN & MEID are correct.
The symptoms are exactly the same as if my MEID is not in the cricket system, yet I have triple checked them (and I had someone else program another phone with my MEID and that phone OTA'd and made calls on Cricket with no problem).
Some other data for consideration Android 2.1, build Baseband 2.15.00……007.25 kernel 2.6., Radio 2.05.00.06.10, HBOOT 0.79.0000 SHIP S-OFF
I have also tried factory builds 2.2 (3.26.651.6) and 2.1, (Baseband 2.05.00.06.10,Build 1.41.651.1) with same result. Note: they did not change the PST.
Is there a factory build which will put everything back to Sprint or should I consider updating the HBoot and /or Radio?, I assume the programming for the OTA is done in the Radio?
I am stumped.
Bump, If anybody can help me with this, its been driving me up the wall for two weeks now.,
Have you tried flashing an RUU and updating everything from there? If it isn't the MEID then it might just be your phone having a glitch. Flash it using RUU and let me know.
how do you reset PST/NAM (SPC,MIN,MDN, Etc) to factory?
I have tried RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe , hboot goes from 0.92 to 0.79, radio from 2.15 to 1.39.00.04.26, and android from 2.2 to 2.1.
But the pst/nam settings remain unchanged, mdn,min, sip, nai, etc are all cricket. even the SPC is still unlocked at 000000. ANd the S-OFF flag is off, Shouldnt the RUU's re-root the phone?
Is there an alternate way to run the RUU, I have tried putting the phone in HBOOT usb mode, then run the RUU but with three different batteries it tells me they are too low (under 30%).
Should I be in Hboot mode to run RUU? (I have been running it from the PC with the phone booted up.
To answer a couple of my own questions, none of the RUU's reset the EPST whether they where loaded from the PC via the .exe method or from the SD card PB31IMG method.
I found a reference to ##786# and found that yes that does reset the EPST (including the SPC) back to factory.
So I figured maybe the problem would be solved, so I updated PST for cricket (MDN,MIN,SID,PRL) and tried again, still no OTA and still 'Unauthoriized; when I try to make calls.
I am starting to believe I have a hardware problem, but how can most of the phone work and yet it have (apparently) problems transmitting MEID?
Seems like no interest here or everybody stumped. I am willing to pay some one to help me resolve this. contact to my email or post here, I will certainly let the forum know when I resolve this. Thanks

Your problem has different symptoms from mine (the threadstarter), it sounds like your prl is incorrect. If you have a correct prl & sid (these can vary for the market you are in , in Phoenix the SID is 4923 and I use the old nationwide non EVDO PRL of 1040) when you dial 611 you will get Cricket, regardless of your ESN/MEID being registered with Cricket, if this doesnt work do not go further. Find a PRL/SID that works (sometimes changing CDMA connect from Auto to Home only can help) . Also make sure MNC/MNC are set to 310/0. Country code/Carrier I think.
Once you get 611 to connect to Cricket, *228 (OTA) will connect to cricket, if It disconnects you before the music starts playing and says 'Sorry....' it is most likely your MEID is not registered correctly with Cricket. In Phoenix *228 always works on EVo's as long as SID/PRL/MEID are correct,
The message you are getting about a credit card required means you are connnecting to some other carriers network (usually Verizon) which is transferring you to someplace to allow you to make a call even though you are
"not authorized" on the network. Go back and check 611 & *228.*228 will load the correct prl for your area and rate plan, check after it runs to see what was loaded. It will also most likely overwrite EVDO settings including MIP, Sip, NAI, etc.
At this point your phone should work, talk & text.
I had the same problem and I look all over. I wanted to unroot and remove jimmy v rom. I was think that if i update to the new update that it will fix it self and i was right. First I had to remove the jimmy v rom, so i got ruu to update the htboot and that let me update to the new 2.3.3. It fix it self and f***ing A.

Can you be more specificwhat you loaded and what versions of hboot where involved? I downgraded to 2.1 (with RUU) and hboot .79 and it did not resolve problem.

please help, No Data or MMS VM

Hi,
I need a little help if you dont mind. I'll get right to it.
I wasnt getting any mms on my marvelc so I did what I would have done on my old evo 3d, ##3282# then entered my msl. After that I selected data profile and restored it (which erased my data profile). On sprint network, after you do that then reboot the phone, it does hands free activation, this one doesnt do that. So I went to settings/about phone/activate phone. it went through the process and now I dont have data either, hehe, ya I know.
So I called VM and they did a 3g reconnect or something and it didnt work either. They were supposed to call me back but they didnt.
So after waiting an hour I decided they were'nt calling me back and I thought I could just RUU it back and I'd probably have my data profile back.
I got the VM/Sprint RUU from here http://www.filefactory.com/f/7b4aa0a541dcf00f/ and relocked my bootloader, then I went back to hboot and ran the RUU. It did most of the installing but stopped at hboot install and gave me an error about the hboot being a lower version and it wouldnt flash. I assume this is because I upgraded my hboot to htcdev unlock. So I'm thinking I need a newer RUU with the new hboot?
I also extracted the rom.zip from the RUU and renamed it to PG76IMG.zip and tried to flash it from hboot and it said my main version is lower, so it wouldnt go either. Do you have a lower main ver and do you know the commands to change it?
Or do you know the settings that I need to put in the data profile?
Thanks for the help.
Update. Figured out how to change the main version so I can run the RUU.
Update 2. RUU worked with the tool I used and now hboot is back to 1.06, without the relocked banner, very cool, that tool is awesome, thanks theq86. But unfortunately it didn't fix my data problem, it did give me my warranty back though
Bump for the night crew.
If anyone here has Virgin mobile us, could you please tell me a few things.
Please dial ##3282# (##data#) and select edit mode, itll ask for your password (msl). If you dont have it, you can get it with "msl reader" from the market, its free. Enter your msl and then choose edit mode.
This is what I need, PLEASE.

Any information will help at this point. Thanks.
hi
may sound a bit obvious but are you sure you have turned on mobile data??
and if not you may need to set up the correct apn (access point name) if you dont have it drop into your local service providers shop and ask them to fill it in for you
my wildfire (buzz) has a lot of issues with incorrect apn settings when i switch between roms. and if you dont have the correct setting your mobile data will not work. so give that a bash if you havent already.
good luck

Thanks for the reply, I wish that was my problem, but its not. When I went to edit mode after typing ##data# I chose to restore and that zero'd out all my data profile settings (smart huh). After talking to the 3rd tier of tech support they said that they needed to send my case to HQ. He said he'd done all he could. I just need those settings back. I asked him if he knew the AAA shared secret and he didn't know what I was talking about. The mobile data setting says no connection available when it is checked.
brutal man. sorry hopefully someone else can help out
Sorry to resurrect this thread but I just wanted to update it incase someone else has the same issue I did.
After about 2 weeks and about 50 virgin mobile reps later, they finally told me that my phone cannot be fixed. I told them exactly what happened and they still thought its because of a bad phone, whatever, I'm not gonna argue. I ran an ruu, did multiple factory resets, did a ## code to activate the phone, they reactivated the phone, nothing restored my data profile. I thought for sure that the ruu would do it but I guess the ruu is just HTC software and what I need is virgin mobile data.
Lesson learned, do not erase your data profile or you're screwed. I think theres a way to back that stuff up and I'm gonna do some research to figure it out. I should have my new wildfire s in about 3 days. I know that someone woulda helped if they could have so thanks anyway.

Change PRL??

Hi everybody!
Straight to the point. I've been spending the past days trying to figure this out, with no luck of course.
I just got this cellphone, and I want to change its prl to a local one (I live in Dominican Republic).
I have done this before with a couple of LGs, this is my first HTC phone, and in the past I used to finish this in less than 5 mins, but now, after installing drivers and such, I'm stuck at nowhere.
I have used CDMA Workshop, DFS and QPST. I got my SPC/MSL and my PRL file, but when I write in successfully, first it doesn't reboot itself when I close the program like it supposed to do, so I restart it myself, but the changes wont stick. No matter what I do or how many times I do it, the PRL I overwrite on the phone wont save.
I read somewhere that you need to use NV Item for HTC changes to be saved, but I don't know exactly how to proceed. I do have NV Item for a couple of LGs when I tryied to save its data, but I can't seem to find HTC One M7 Verizon NV Items.
In the end, I'm out of options, I have no idea what to do next.
By the way, I want to write in Tricom PRL which is a CDMA Carrier in this country.
Thanks in advance, and I hope someone out there has the answer for this.
