I received a replacement EVO and foolishly ran my full Titanium Backup (all data + all settings) on it. As you can expect, this carried over my data profile/provisioning/RSA keys which wont mach since its different hardware. As a result, i cannot update profile or PRL. I get the standard 1012 error code. If you hard reset, its fine. Once you run the full backup its borks PRL update.
My question is: where is the data profile/network provision information stored? EPST 2.2? I need to remove the app/data from the Backup batch list so that these settings dont get carried over in the backup restore. Any ideas on where this is? My only guess is EPST 2.2.
Clear data in epst. Or....boot into bootloader and clear data storage. It will re-provision upon boot.
Not 100% sure, But I think I get what you mean and I already tried that (with Tier 2 sprint tech support). I did a data profile "restore" option by going into EPST, restoring Z(i.e clearing), rebooting and letting the phone redo the "hands free" activation (re-provision itself). The data would not work at all and I had to hard reset. Sprint said when this occurs all you can do is hard reset. It worked fine then, but once I ran the Titanium backup with the settings from the prior phone, I was right back in the same boat again.
Simply clearing the data profile and letting it do provisioning again (hands free activation) did not seem to work. I will try again. Perhaps it killing data altogether was a one time fluke but that's what happened. What I need to do is be able to hard reset then restore my batch (all apps, data etc.) only with absolutely no Provisioning settings whatsoever. Nothing that would screw with data profile and affect PRL. The backup uses old settings save from the prior phone. I'm just not sure what to remove from my Titanium Backup batch restore to do this. I don't know where its stored. Is it EPST 2.2 in the Titanium backup Batch list? Anything else this data/settings could be stored in?
I only use TB for restoring apps, sometimes a system app if I'm SURE of what it is. (And have never run into problems this way)
Would using TB that way not work for you?

Yes, and I plan to do that in the future. If I could just figure out which part of this bath restore from tatanium backup contains the data profile/provision settings I could probably restore everything else fine and avoid this PRL issue.

So about 3 days ago, I installed SyndicateROM Frozen (excellent work ACS!), and while it has worked superbly (beyond the ever-looming fear that Vision Kernel 1.2 will brick it...), I have lost my MSL. For whatever reason, using Connectbot and getprop no longer brings up the MSL. I used to have it saved in the stock Memo app, however in the bloatware purge that comes with installing SFR, this was deleted. As this stupid stock app stored all the memos somewhere within the app itself, my question is this:
Though I didn't nandroid backup prior to flashing SFR, is the memo app backed up somewhere so that I might flash back to the version I had and thereby regain my MSL?
Thanks.
Only if it stored the memos on the data partition. If so load the apk back on and they should still be there.. if not I can help you get your msl with cdmaworkshop or qxdm no problem

I rummaged through, and no luck, not in the data partition. Or anywhere for that matter... So, what's this I hear about cdmaworkshop and qxdm?
Did you use Titanium or Mybackup? The data will be there and just restore the app then you can restore the data. The data is stored like all others and restoring just the app won't help if you didn't backup all the data. Let me know if you need the apk.
When I go into market and select my apps, I get this error:
A server error has occured. Retry,or cancel and return to the previous screen.
I tried clearing data, but still does the same.
Anybody ever have this problem, anybody know a way to fix this?

Did you also clear cache for the Market app? Have you tried using a different internet connection, i.e., switch from 3G to WiFi or vice versa? Have you rebooted and reestablished your connection? Maybe use CWM to reset permissions? Backup the app, then uninstall/reinstall?
Try those (probably that order is "easiest" to "biggest pain in the butt") and see if one of 'em works.
If none of that works, what system changes have you done since the last time you successfully used Market and My Apps? Did you apply any patches, switch kernels, install a whole new ROM?
Yeah I tried all that. I was taking out the new market and putting back the old. After I did that I cleared data, and problem started. I restored my backup and it still gave me that problem. How I fixed it was backing up my apps with titanium backup, formatting all data in clockwork. And re-signing in to my google account, then batch restore all apps only in titanium backup. Only restoring data on certain apps.
Everything is back to normal, I believe it had something to do with getting messed up on googles end. Everything is good now.

Since I upgraded to 4.3 I no longer have any data connections (aside from WiFi). I realized my APN's have completely been erased. Can anyone tell me what the sprint APN's are supposed to be, so that I can restore them? I'm open to alternative fixes as well. Please let me know!
Same thing happened to me. Now my radios are messed up. I had cell but no digital. My cell was on roaming unless i had wifi and an activie wifi signal. I did revert back to the MOAR Rom which at that point I had data but no cell. I entered this, ##72786# into my dialer which gave me back my cell but then lost all data. Repost if you find something that makes your phone and data work like it did before.

I would say to try to restore to factory using this method or you could try this method to try and restore your APN's, BUT for this you will need either wifi or data to access the Play store to get APN Backup&Restore. I would follow method 1, in the APN post, for best results, as long as your phone is still rooted. Of course, you will not be backing up your APN's because you don't have any, but it gives you APN file to download and restore. Read very carefully. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the interest and replies! I was successfully able to restore my APN's after doing the following:
1. Backup current ROM (the one with the ****ed up APN)
2. Flash to stock-ish ROM (the one with correct APN info)
3. Install and run APN backup (using APN backup restore APK found on XDA)
4. Copy APN backup files somewhere safe (Because the APN backup restore folder kept disappearing upon re-install)
5. Restore backup ROM (the one with the ****ed up APN)
6. Install APN backup restore via apk, make it system app via titanium backup (OR ELSE RESTORE WILL NOT WORK FOR 4.3), and RESTORE.
HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE!
OK so I'm not sure what exactly is going on but whenever I flash my rim to do testing and whatnot I make a nandroid, do a full wipe, flash rom, gapps and then kernel, then reboot, let sit for about 10 mins, and then go through the setup, my data works completely fine, no drops in connection or anything, I can download apps on 4g even, so I downloaded titanium Backup and set it up, but whenever I restore my apps, just my apps only, no system data or app data the restore completes and then I don't a reboot and then my data no longer works, I've double checked the apn and nothing is out of the ordinary, it has to be titanium Backup because I've tried different kernels, different roms and still the same issue, does anyone have any idea what might cause this?

Tibu is not the panacea it's made out to be. Don't do a batch restore. Only restore the apps you really need. It's much better to use Google to restore your apps.

Well that is a matter of opinion. Using google to restore apps will always give you the latest versions of the apps. And that is often not a good thing. (I have 6 apps right now that I dont want updated because the newer version is crappier) Google isnt real good with restoring app data either.
There is nothing wrong with restoring using titanium for apps and data. The only place it shouldn't be recommended is for restoring system settings or data. That is where you get version/rom incompatibilities.

I always use TB to restore my apps. Never had a issue. Always use batch restore and restore only apps and data. Not sure what's going on but I ONLY use it to restore apps. What exactly are you pressing during your restoration process? I only restore missing apps with data in the scenerios. Never had I had any issues. perhaps try restoring missing apps AND data. this is what I do. Works every time without issue. Problem might lie in the fact your not restoring apps and data. Give it a shot. Let me know. It should work perfectly for you. Does for me always. Your not restoring data this is likely your issue. so during restoration press " restore apps AND data" this should solve the issue.
For some reason I'm unable to find restore backup, where do I look for this? You would think it would be beside backup but no, and can we not back up all our apps?
There is no separate restore. It will (should) offer to restore during the initial setup after a wipe. Supposedly, it will also restore when you sign into your Google account. More info here.
And, Google incorrectly calls it a backup - it isn't. It stores info on what apps were installed, and re-installs them from the Play Store. If you sideloaded any, you have to do it again. You also have to re-login to most apps. Finally, it will only reflect the state at the last "backup." If you want to go back to what you had a month ago instead, you can't. If you had older versions of some apps, because the newer were broken or whatever, you're SOL. It will restore some settings, like wallpaper, the position of app icons, SMS messages and call logs. But overall, you will still have a lot of work to do to get your phone back to the same as it was.
If backup is "really" important, would you recommend and give a "thumbs up" to the Swift Backup application ? Recently, I woke up and discovered my old backup ( Titanium ) was now failing in its job and transitioned to Swift.

During the initial setup of the phone, at the point the phone offers to have you physically connect your phone to your "old phone" via USB-C, there's an option to click telling it you don't have the old phone available. Once you choose that, it takes you down the path of restoring from the cloud backup instead.
Naturally, you have to have it connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data before that point, preferably Wi-Fi but should work either way.
