I have an Evo on Boost now for 2 months rooted with no problems at all. I change roms all the time, update kernels, put themes and never any problems. Yesterday there was a post to update the pri to version 1.40.
I did it and it said something about resetting the phone. It shut down and ever since then I have no 3g at all. The only way I can surf the net or go to the market place is through my wireless internet in my home. I can send/receive texts/mms/phone calls but no internet.
Also, it constantly come up with an error 67 data call failed.
Thanks guys in advance
You could try updating profile under settings and system update.. let me know if this worked.. my 3g wasnt working went to sprint and did the update and is back on..

##3282#
edit mode
enter msl code
data profile
menu
restore
this will reset ALL data profile information on your phone. it will then reboot and reload all said information by re-provisioning your phone.
if you do not know your msl, call sprint tech support and ask nicely for it. they will usually give it to you. if not, hang up and call back. or just tell them you have no data and want to re-provision your phone and they will walk you through what i just did.
as a side note, sometimes this error pops up, for no good reason and goes away after a while. my guess is in your situation this isn't the case. you had a hiccup that's easily fixed.

Thank you for trying to help I really do appreciate it, but I don't have a sprint account I am on Boost Mobile and have been for 2 months now without any issues but this one
Could be a PRL problem? I don't know anything about getting an EVO on Boost, but I assume part of the process was downloading a PRL for Boost to connect to their towers?
Go back to the guide you followed and redo the steps.

this will still work on your phone. contact boost to get your msl. or use CDMA workshop. there is a thread in the dev section on using CDMA workshop.

What exactly will work on my phone?? and what should I do in CDMA Workshop? I have the program and I do know my MSL, so if you can explain what I should do to get back my data connection that would be great!
I tried to update the PRI and wiped my data profile for boost mobile and now without wifi on, I get error 67 data call failed
By the way, Thank you for trying to help, you guys are the best
No offense, but it really should not be that difficult if you set this up before!! I assume that you in fact did not set your EVO up on Boost, but gave it to someone else to set up, correct?
Simply refer to the original guide, or steps you took yourself to set the phone up on Boost in the first place - or give it back to the person that did it and let them fix it.

Hey Nukedukem,
No offense taken, however you might want to check your panties to see if you're getting your period. I thought this was a forum for people to help other people "do it themselves". If I, and everyone else did what you suggested, you'd be outside sitting on the curb with nothing to do. So if you have nothing nice to suggest, then I suggest you pass over my post and go "not help" someone else. Thanks
To everyone else: yes the guy that first did my phone is no longer to be found so if you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them. Also, if a programmer can help I'm more than willing to donate.
Thanks again guys
The error 67 I think may be caused by the network rejecting your phones credentials, I had this same problem last night. The only way I could fix it was to restore a nandroid backup and then have it update my profile and PRL. You may be able to get away with just restoring the backup though, trying to update anything is most likely not a good idea since you are using a network other then what the software was written for.

Sorry you took offense, but you are in WAY over your head. If you want help from a developer, you need to SEARCH FIRST.

Since I'm such a nice guy, I searched for you...30 seconds later I learned how to port my EVO to Boost Mobile.

Oh, and uh...try not to choke on my menorrhagia.
That method did work MONTHS ago but not now that SPRINT changed up their website your not allowed to do esn swaps anymore. I was able to do it months ago with my touch pro2 and i have an EVO now and just tried to reprogram my phone cause i had the msl code and input my boost number and msid like i did before with the touch pro2. It reseted but when i went to make a call it said account cannot be validated so had to get sprint service again. Soon as someone comes out with a VALID way of getting the EVO working on boost Im going back to them.

did u fix the problem?
it's because you have a sprint 1.4 pri and need a modified boost pri...until that is changed, no 3g for you, but seriously, there is an app that gives you your MSL code
I flashed to Boost and rooted my evo 4g, but when i go to make a call or text it won't let me. When I go to make a call I get the error 16 and they transfer me to a Sprint Rep. Is their any fix to this since I'm boost and can't use a Sprint rep. I can receive text and phone calls and even use the ne
This has happened many times on rooted Sprint Evos if u Google it. It's a security feature and prob kicked in because u registered the donor phone on the network and then registered your new phone on the network too...both with the same Esn if u get my point.
The fix for Sprint users is they get directed to sprint who then has u turn off the phone. They refresh your account settings and have u turn ur phone on and its fixed.
Try calling boost and ask them to refresh your settings or purge them or whatever. See if that works. Don't ever turn ur donor phone back on unless its in airplane mode.

Looking for a solution for the people that were able to add their Touch Pro 2s to boost over the phone easily.... Can't call them and ask to refresh my htc lol
This is very interesting so what are the solutions for this error code 16
1. Do not turn your donor phone on
2. Do not do a factory reset
3. Do not root your phone
perhaps those are the 3 major things that can trigger the sprint error 16 security measure!
If anyone wanna add additional steps let me know we need to solve this before it gets out of hands

try calling and see if they change your msid and refresh your account.
I've had a customer do that and idk what he told them but they changed his msid.
My phone is rooted at the moment. Downloaded and ran autoroot with a guide to find the meid locations for 2.15. First thing I did was hard reset after info went in. Thanks for the reply fam. I read elsewhere on the net to not call customer service about tp2's as they were being banned and accounts were being closed.
Just flashed back to stock to see if auto activation would start, It did not. Receiving text messages, a step forward lol... patience is the key.
I think the problem might be I used my HTC TP2 as a donor phone for my EVO. Maybe if I used a Incognito, I might not have this problem.

Maybe, but I read error 16 also comes from the phone being hard reset and triggering a sprint security error. We both have tp2's.
You haven't fixed yours yet either?

I did my last epic from my tp2. This time I wanted to try an evo. Just stuck at the moment.
I had another EVO I flashed from my TP2 and it worked fine until I try to put another rom on it and I wiped everything from my evo and can't get out of the skateboarding android screen. I flashed a new EVO and got this stupid error 16 crap. FRUSTRATING!!!!!
I have this same problem on my Evo. I used a sanyo incognito as a donor and I can get on the internet but no voice calls. I hear the error 16 message. I tried the ##786# hard reset. Updated PRL. I reflashed the phone. I reflashed the stock rom and still no luck. Haven't called customer service yet though.

I read that all you need to do is call and have them reprovision your incognito while leaving it off, and your evo should come alive.

This works. I just flashed back to Sprint, but left it on my donor phone. Got the error 16. All u need to do is put your donor in airplane mode or turn it off. Try to make a call on the EVO and it will automatically direct u to cstmr service(not sure if it will go to Boost cstmr service for u). They prob won't ask any questions except what type of phone is it. Tell them the donor phone type. They will reprovision and u r good.u will need another phone while they do this because they will call u back on it. That's how Sprint worked.
Error 16 solution
I got the solution for the error 16 hit me up guys
I've got the solution!!!
For those of you getting the error 16 code; all you need to do is call boost and ask them to transfer you to technical support. Once they do that chances are that even those guys on tech support have never heard about error 16 so you are gonna have to turn both phones off and ask them to reprovision your phone and give you a new MSID. Then they're gonna ask you to type in your new MSID. After you do that the phone is gonna reboot and the error 16 should be gone for good.
Error 16 fix!!!!
Dial 611 from evo or android u will get error 16 wait till it connects you to sprint
they will know why u calling! And explain why u got the error
- they will ask you what phone you have
tell them the donor phone model
you boost pin
your name and last name
and zip code
and get a second # for them to call u at
then the rep will tell u to turn off the phone "donor" but ur going to turn off the evo and wait for them to call u in the second # you have provided. When they do it means they fix the error turn evo or android back on make a test call and be on that call for atleast 30 secs as the rep will ask you to do and voila! YOU HAVE FIXED ERROR 16 on your flashed phone!
hit thanks *****es
Thanks Mocoyombiflash I did exactly what you said and now I have a fully functional evo on boost.

No you won't need to... I own a business unlocking phones... and u don't need to. Even though odin repartitions it does not mean it changes ur data plan. It just repatitions the phone. It will still stay on. Just reactivate your plan and your phone will work

Unless they use the Phone EFS Clear option in Odin.
ShinyDude100 goes into a little detail about that option's use in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31140050&postcount=609
Thanks Nikon for acknowledging that, OP, cwm backup your MetroPCS rom, then have fun messing with your phone but don't lose that backup. There are fixes in mms and etc on other phones, a new one may have to be made to get all of your features working correctly. YMMV on metro's 3g working for you, as some cities claim 3g to be blocked in certain cities on flashed phones, I will dig deep into that issue eventually and post a guide sometime on regaining metro's 3g in cities who got blocked. I have a hunch on what could be blocked. Cheers and have fun.

Question... why would you want to use the Phone EFS Clear option in Odin if you want to keep it on the same carrier. People should do their homework on Odin before using. And if anything CDMA Workshop. Connect port read change msn, meid, username, password then write 000000 to unlock. Go on ur epic and input in dialer *#*#8778#*#* or ##8778# go to edit enter 000000 then change everything from there that simple. Save then reboot. Call carrier and say u want to activate or just dial *228 or *#2284 whichever u find better. And there u go

Everything after this quoted bit was a great knowledge dump. (No sarcasm, it was useful info.) However, what I quoted above was where you just expected way too much of majority of readers on XDA and many other popular Android forums. Sad, but true.
Nexus S 4g flashed to MetroPCS, but I cant activate
I bought a Nexus s 4g that had been previously flashed to Metro PCS. The person just removed their Metro account 5 days ago. When I called 611, it went to the Metro recording..but I tried to call to activate, and they said go to the corporate store to have it unlocked. So I went to the store, and the guy tried to activate it, and put a couple codes and was shaking his head. His advice, " Take this to a store that does flashing and have them do some programming so it can be activated." Do I have to have it re flashed? I sure hope not. Please help!
You should ask in the Nexus S forum.

so waht im trying to do is to re flash my self i really dont want to send the phone back to flash phones my experience has been really bad
so if anyone can help thanks in advance
so its a sprint 4g
on verizon prepay
phone calls work fine
i fixed msg
3g is really slow(cant watch youtube videos)
Well my first suggestion is to change prls. If your on a sense ROM it is usually an easy process and aosp ROMs you have to have a PC with qpst setup to change prls. Pm me and I can help you out with prls and if needed reflashing. Although I really doubt reflashing will be required.
Edit: also just remembered not all ROMs will the correct network. You may be using 1x and still see 3g on the status bar.

I was going to use it on Ntelos because thats my current carrier, but the person that had it Left it attached to his prepaid account. So now I need to bring it back to sprint and have no clue how to do so. Does anybody know or can tell me where to look? I'm running out patience looking for answers
I don't think you can. But the way I lost my flash was Odin back to stock. At least that worked on the s3

Please pardon me if this sounds dumb, but I am a newbie... I too have a Sprint Note 2. It used to be flashed to boost mobile. Now it's been flashed back to stock sprint ROM using file links and instructions right here in these forums. From what I gather, you want to go back to sprint? It's really simple. You do have the original MEID & Id ETC. right? Should be behind the battery when you remove it. I have successfully got my phone back to STOCK Sprint. It's really easy to do using TWRP and stock Sprint ROM files and DFS (there are others)...But these were the ones (programs) I used.. Read and read some more. Be patient (easier said than done..lol) you'll get it...It CAN be done...

I hope so. lol. The goofball that had it before me flashed it to ntelos and left it on the account not used, but still attached. Actually made it difficult to sell as a ntelos phone, but I have some time today to play around with it today. I was told by sprint it needs a flash back to sprint. Sad part I have no fricken clue who flashed it to begin with it that way
Well first check the sticker underneath the battery. Have you verified it can be brought back tp sprint? If its ok on sprints end using the numbers on the back then you can move further. Let us know so we can direct you.

Everything is correct. It can be activated on sprint. Ive already checked that multiple times
Ok well now you need to write the info from the sticker to the phone. You can use cdma workshop or dfs. Either program will work. You can also look at guides made for boost mobile. You can follow the guide. Instead of a donor phone you use the sticker info. Instead of changing your mmsc to boost you would change it to sprints. Either way get your msl first just in case. Use msl reader from the playstore. If it cannot read it push home. Then go to your dialer and push in ##3282# it will ahow a screen saying view or edit. Push edit. Enter a random 6 digit code. It doesnt matter what it is. It will give an error. Push home and hold it until recent tasks come up. Go to msl reader again and read the code again. It should give it to you this time.

Msl is "000000" I tried some today with no luck. Everything failed in odin. Now i'm searching again, because its either odin mode or "firmware encountered a issue. Recovery from kies and try again. But it doesnt connect to kies. Actually wount connect even before I got started.
Got the phone back on. Still on Ntelos, so now I'm back to searching on how to remove this carriers flash. Nothing I've tried has worked
Hey guys I've got a similar problem. I got a note 2 and I'm wanting to flash it to boost but I haven't been able to read the HA/AAA keys. I did a reset ##786# to remove the old sprint account and downgraded to the LJC radio but I still get the access denied error for Nv_read on 466 and 1192. Also if I call 611 I get Ntelos wireless customer service and I'm kinda lost on what to do.
I didnt feed anyone lies. I have seen it done before. On my last phone. The epic touch 4g. If it doesnt work on this phone then thats too bad. I have never needed to flash a phone to another carrier.

In all fairness I have flashed a E4GT to an MVNO and back.
Google Chris41g's Epic to Boost steps. Follow the steps in there to change back your MEID only.
Flash a stock rooted restore - in this case I'll suggest MC2 rooted restore. This sets proper CSC info.
Turn phone on and ##72786#. Let HFA go through its steps.
LTE I can't say anything on since E4GT didn't have it.
The reason I did this way is because HFA will pull the HA/AAA keys and set the profile back on its own.
You only have to do it manually when flashing to MVNO because you can't use HFA.
Sorry but that's all the details I can mention on this thread - PM with any additional questions.
