[Q] suggestion - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i want some suggestion, i have flash my sprint 4g to boost. infortunately 3g is not working . idk what am doing wrong. any help will be appreciate . also a donation will be make

U need the NV items copied over from your donor phone. NV items 465, 466, 1192, 1194. Try that. Here's a link to very good info that I found: http://bittertalk.com/talk/?p=547

i already done that , the weird thing that i found was, with my donor phone which was samsung rant , NAM2 WAS BLANKSO IDK IF that have something to do because i have use the incognito on another phone before and its display information on both NAM1 AND NAM2.

Mine is also a Rant and everything works except that my speeds are 1X and not true 3 g. Also, I can't get the profile or prl to update in the settings > update. I keep getting error 67. From reading numerous sites and forums, I think the Incognito is the best donor to use. There doesn't seem to be any 3g problems listed for those donors.

HOW DO YOU GOT THE INTERNET TO WORK DUDE . . let me know .

I've don't many diff things, but if you plug in all the passkeys, etc., you should be able to master reset it. ##786#, menu, reset. Once it reboots, it should activate, provision itself. I have to update prls in qpst or cdma wksp. Can't get it to work on the phone.

Great news! I just redid my entire flash today line by line based on this guide posted in post #1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182260 . I skipped over the sections for repairing the meid (since I've already done this), but completed the rest exactly. I also used the profile info from the instructions(pictures) and just changed over my NAI, HA, AAA passwords. For NAM 2, it wouldn't write it since everything was blanks, so I filled in all spaces with 0's, disable the PRL, and I was able to write the NAM2.
Rebooted and 3G is working now! no stalling or dropping and my speeds have gone from around 130kbps DL to 500kpbs. It's still not the best speeds but much better. I was also able to update the profile and prl in the settings > update section.

Flashed on Boost, Can't Update Profile.

Hello, As the titlle says.. I'm flashed onto Boost Mobile with everything functional.. (Except GPS, but that's a whole 'nother concern)..
After reading around and searching to no avail, if I need to update my Profile, I get an error.. Something along the lines of ""Error: Cannot Update! Client Authentication Error".
Does anyone know if it's my Boost Mobile affecting this.. Also, anyway to fix it?
Is there a way to manually flash a profile on there?

Your Profile is looking for Sprints server so of course it wont work. If I am not mistaken its a Sprint profile you are updating so if you are on Boost why would you want to do that?
your on boost thats why its giving you that issue... look on the development page for "how to manually update your PRL".. don't remember the name of the op for it on epic touch but i remember it was created by Leviusque on the epic 4g. follow the steps on there and you will be able to update your prl.

May i ask how flash your device to boost mobile? a friend was asking me for my epic and how to flash it to metro

I am having the same Error: Cannot Update! Client Authentication Error problem on my e4gt as the original poster. I know it is possible to have a sprint phone on boost and be able to use the update profile. I original put a sprint mogul on boost and could update profile, then I switched over to a Samsung sph I-350 simply by calling boost. They had no problem activating it, Update profile, prl worked fine. Then I went to a evo 4g, real pain in the ass phone to get on boost. I had to find the esn in multiple places then zero and change. That phone can update profile, prl too. I used the sph-I350 as the donor. Now I have a Epic 4g touch on boost. Piece of cake to switch over and get everything working, prob the easiest esn change then the rest is simply nv items and copying stuff from qpst and qxdm.
BUT I am still having a problem with updating profile and prl... I updated the prl manually with qpst to make it work on boost right but I want to have the ability to update the profile and prl OTA.
Also I have the weirdest thing happening with 3g speeds when I am home I get great speeds on evdo.A anywhere from 1-2mb down and 300-500kbps up. But when ever I go anywhere else in houston, the speeds take a dramatic change for the worse. I hit around 30-150kbps down and 10-60kbps up. Its really wierd. I have tried every 3g speed fix possible. From zeroing servers, to evdo mode only and loosing the ability to send texts, everything. I think that fixing my ability to update ota will fix this issue.
FYI My evo 4g gets super fast 3g speeds all over houston and it has the ability to update ota.
Where as my e4gt cant ota and only gets good speeds in one location.
Does anyone of the senior devs have any clue on how to fix the ota issue, or 3g issue?
it depends a lot on the rom, Ive always been on boost, and on GB i could update profile and prl but on ICS i cannot..

Im on the stock sprint GB rom with el29. But unable to update it just makes no sense. Last night I tried to put the donor NV items back on the e4gt and it took, But still same problem no ota update ability.... Something weird about the e4gt I can write the nv 1192 and nv 466 but I cant read them from the e4gt its says access denied.
If i root will It unlock the nv items 1192 and 466? I want to read them to makes sure it took the info from the donor phone.
Google my blog for how to do it properly

chris nvm my last post i found it. I have a question??
If i go into qpst and delete my profile 1 do you think it will be able to ota update? because as of now I filled in profile 1 and 0 with all the correct info. I know my sprint and boost ha and AAA I got them from the donor. I filled all that in as hex in qpst. I am going to try and delete profile one and set everything up the way your guide wants then hopefully it gives me a hands free activation prompt
Not a something i will talk about on here.. But feel free to email me or comment on there, or pm

okay cool got it, well either way i tried then end part of your guide thing as that was what i needed. But to no avail I had a different error and it said connection error. So i was forced to put all my settings back to what I had to get 3g back.
I dunno its just really weird being unable to ota update. Its funny though after all that tinkering I just ran a speed test and hit almost 2.5mbps down its crazy. But i know once i travel away from this tower ill be stuck with crap speeds again...
oh and now it is saying unknown error after changing setting and setting it back to what i had originally..frekin weird

[Q] Data problems due to MEID swap missing NV items. Help!

So long story somewhat short, I purchased a Epic Touch 4G on Craigslist to find out that it had a bad ESN because the previous owner did not pay the bill. I searched out a possible fixes for this and found someone who flashes phones to Boost. He said he would be able to take the settings from my Evo 4G and place them on the ET4G to make it work. For the service I gave him my phone so he could flash it to Boost for himself. He set up the phone and it was sending and receiving calls, data seemed to work no problem as well. So I had him clear all the data, meid, memory ect.. from my old phone (evo) and I went on my way. I'm kind of savy about all of this, but just wanted someone else who knew what they were doing and had all the utilities to take care of it.
Anyway, upon driving around with Pandora on in the car I noticed the data would drop quite often. I looked into the settings on the phone and found that profile 1 contains a boost user as the username and it appears to have all the settings for someone else's account that uses boost. He must have copied the wrong settings onto my phone.. my original phone settings are now gone. So I don't think I have any hope of recovering the HA SPI, HA pass, AAA SPI and AAA pass. What can I do? I share a family plan with my wife, can I copy the settings from her phone onto mine? Will both phones work with the same settings, or will this cause problems? 2 phones using the same settings. I imagine it won't because apparently i'm using someone else's account for data currently. If copying her info would work, what do I need to be sure to transfer over? My understanding is NV Items 465, 466, 1192, and 1194 is all I need? I'm using the Evo > Boost and EPT4G > Boost guides to get an idea about how to do it.
Sort of long and a lot of questions. I hope someone out there can give me a little information. I guess worst case I could pick up a cheap used phone, swap to that and then swap those settings back onto the EPT4G
If he copied over the MEID, M.IP Profile 0 data, and 1192+1194 correctly from the old phone, you should be able to update profile. That will remove the incorrect Profile 1 from Boost and populate the correct Profile 1 values.
Copying the data from your wife's phone won't work.
I just activated my ET4G on Boost myself first with a incognito then xfering all the setting to the Epic Touch while back. After reading your post, my first question is do you even have a boost account, since your saying there are setting username...etc from someone else.
He doesn't use Boost. He stated he couldn't use the phone because it has a bad ESN. That means he's on Sprint.

Lets see if I can code his post, op had an evo on sprint/bought the ET bad ESN, so the guy copied the sprint EVO to the ET so that the ET will work with Sprint, and the guy kept the EVO for himself.
If that is the case then there should be no Boost info on the ET which was coped from the Evo how that info got there is a mistery since the Evo was pure Sprint.
Could he just enable Profile 0? which seems to be the sprint profile.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Flashing Help

I have read through the entire thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696621 which has helped me a lot. I noticed not suppose to ask help on that thread so I figured I start one here and you may delete my post I made on that thread.
I have a Verizon Nexus SCH-i515 I would like to get working on PagePlus. I currently have talk/text working, but no 3g. I have Verizon Paranoid Android rom, sprint FC12 CDMA radio. Using PRL 52874 provided OTA *22800.
I tried using the script for ets that AutoPrime provided on the mentioned thread above, but I do not know the HA, AAA, or Akey. I do not know how to obtain these settings. I'm assuming this is why I can't get 3g working.
I have a Droid RAZR Maxx flashed to PagePlus and I didn't need any of these settings. It was basically ##PROGRAM, set MDN, MIN, and SID, then use CDMA workshop or DFS, set EVDO to rev.a, and disable R-UIM by setting to NV only.. power on, *#*#INFO#*#* change to CDMA Auto (PRL), done.. so I don't know how to get these AAA,HA, or akey from.
Reading around some people are getting these settings from donors, but I don't have an actual PagePlus phone. If anyone can help me I'd be very happy and greatly appreciated.
Back to reading the mentioned thread above for the 5th time, see if I missed something. Thanks!
OK, seems everything I read says I need a donor phone. Can anyone tell me why I didn't need this when putting razr on page plus? Did it get all the info ota? Guess I'll have to dig up my LG dare to use as a donor, if I can.
Is it possible to swap razr and nexus esn, get the info then swap back?
AAA, HA, Akey backup??
Ok, swapped phones, now I need to find how to get Akey, AAA, and HA from the Verizon RAZR maxx... in DFS > programming > general > cave > get reports A_Key cps-error bad-param
ssd-a cps-error bad-param
ssd-b cps-error bad-param
Now under DFS > NV > read
I get 466, 580, 889, 906, 920,1192 cps-error bad-param
So this phone has 3g and works but no akey, aaa, or ha?
Is there a way to record a log of an ota on the razr maxx to get HA AAA and akey?
Also is there a way to log the nexus trying to connect to see the error message?
Razr keys
Stop trying to get the keys from the Razr; they won't help. The only AAA and HA etc. info. that will help you is that of a phone that has been activated with working 3G on Page Plus. The Razr is most likely locked up (as for the NV items), so if you think you need the 3G data, go for a cheap, easily accessible phone (LG Vortex, pretty much any Samsung, etc.).
I can live with 1x on Page Plus with my Gnex, but I don't use data that much. You get very little data on PP anyway.
Use Autoprime's script for P+, then go in and use "NV Manager" with ETS (just to be super sure everything is as it should be--I think the script put my MDN where my MSID should be actually). This got me 1x, talk and text.
I'm happy.
God Bless!

My RAZR maxx is on page plus with full working 3g,talk,text.. that's why I thought it would work if I swapped gnex esn to the razr, activated it, then tried to get HA/AAA then switch back.. but couldn't get them.. Did you use a donor to get 1x? What radios, rom, and prl are you using? The script for P+ requires HA/AAA ,well could be blocked off with /// but thought these were needed.
I do have a Verizon LG Dare somewhere if I can find it, could use it as a donor. Problem is finding it.
HA AAA passwords no donor
Well I've been changing so many settings that probably never needed changed. Going through every setting in ets seeing what does what. After changing some settings and pulling down some OTA via *22800 I have been able to get HA and AAA passwords without a donor. I still have no 3g data though.
Plugging phone number, HA, and AAA into AutoPrime's ets script still does not get me 1x or 3g data on pageplus. So there is still something missing on his script, something wrong on script, or maybe my phone is just glitched.
I did read somewhere that Nexus on pageplus should use profile 0, I noticed in AutoPrime's script he changes profile 1 settings. Maybe I'll try changing these around or something.

try flashing a radio thats actually for your phone if it will even work anymore after flashing one not intended for it.
I can flash Verizon radio but its not programmable. Will settings stay? Ill try that I just wrote all values to profile 0 and 1.. set 0 active no data, set 1 active no data..
My ha pass is only 9... script says 16.. should I add some 0's to the end to make it 16?
Watching this thread closely. I have a gnex I'm trying to get on page plus with 3g.

HA AAA passwords no donor
As I thought tossed on Verizon radio, settings reverted back to what SIM was programmed for. So I tossed in a blank SIM, mdn, min, etc all 0's and not changable.. so tossing Sprint radio back on unless someone knows of a Verizon radio that will accept changes.

Well if there was a guide it'd be pretty easy, but with no guide and over thousands of setting combinations, I'm just doing trial and error..
I don't think anyone at all has a Nexus on pageplus fully working.. Using a donor or not.. No one has said anything in any of the forums I read or youtube, so guessing that no one has it working. Guy above says he has 1x on pageplus, but I can't even get that, and I think he is the only one. All I have is talk/text working flawless..
There has been about 2 people that say they have the Nexus fully flashed to cricket.. but I have not attempted that as I'd rather have pageplus. If I can't get pageplus I may look into cricket and compare their speedtests with virgin mobile and flash to one of them. I have donors for VM.

Yeah Sprint Nexus is a little easier as you don't have to worry about radios, your stock radios allow programming. And since you are already Sprint you don't need to flash a sprint rom to access some on phone programming menus.
alphahere has a Sprint GNex fully working on Page Plus. These are the steps he took to get it working.
alphahere said:
1) Had a donor phone - HTC incredible, cloned all values needed to the Sprint Galaxy Nexus.
2) Modified the verizon script using the values from the HCT incredible.
3) Ran the script with ETS
4) Lastly did over the air programming with verizon (pageplus).
5) Modified the APN to work for verizon mms.

I suspect you are having the same problem I'm having. I just flashed a Sprint GNex to Page Plus a few days ago. However 3G data is not working because I used a Droid X as the donor and as I have learned in the last couple of days Motorola has their phones locked up pretty tight. I'm unable to pull the NV items needed to obtain the HA/AAA/PPP keys.
In the next few days I'm going to try and find a cheap LG or Samsung phone and use that as the donor instead.

On the GNex romming/rooting is a 1. Flashing a Sprint GNex is a 5 (autoprime's ETS instructions and scripts make it easy) and pulling the data you need from a donor phone can be a 5-10 depending on which phone you use as the donor.
Once you go through the process once though it's pretty easy.

I would anticipate the Fascinate to be pretty easy to use with CDMA Workshop/QPST/QXDM. As long as you stay away from Motorola...

[Q] Data profile update errors and extreme slow speeds - Help please

When I try to update my data profile (because of VERY slow 3G speeds on my E4GT converted to Boost) I get "The profile update could not be completed. Error: Unknown error". Sometimes, I also get the Error 67, that my Sprint data username and password are incorrect. The E4GT is on a stock GB ROM.
The 3G symbol and arrows take several seconds to appear after I take the phone out of airplane mode, sometimes requiring a restart, and even then, once they appear, they sometimes stay greyed out even though apps are asking for data. When the arrows do go green and orange to indicate active data transfer, it's VERY slow, almost 1x like.
Also, sometimes, far far more often than my Galaxy S1, the signal bars will drop from very good signal (full or almost full) to half or to almost none, then come back up.
'
In testing my 3G connection speed with the Ookla Speedtest.net app right now, my first test got a 962ms ping, a download of 121kbps, and an upload of 152kbps. Two further tests resulted on "network communication issues) with the 3G icon's arrows being greyed out. It was on the Witchita, KS server. I could not get it on the San Francisco server that my Galaxy S1 tested on, as the listbox to choose the server would not scroll to server more than about 1,000 KM away.
For reference, in the same spot, my Sprint/Samsung Galaxy S1 (on Boost, with the same account that's now on the E4GT - Neither is on the network at the same time as the other) scores thus: 126ms ping, a download of 470kbps, and an upload of 797kbps. It was on a local (to me, as in, in my city) server, San Francisco.
Help!
Not saying I know anything about being on Boost but found a couple of XDA threads that talk about Profile/Prl updating on Boost and tweaks for speeds on 3g/4g and wifi.
I'm sure there's a better/quicker answer from the Boost folks here but this might help get you started if you haven't seen them.
Also, saw some outside threads on the same issue you had via Google.
If you've seen these, sorry, just was looking into it.

Thanks. I saw the first thread you linked (In fact, that's how I got my OG Epic onto Boost) and did use it (and others) to get my S2 onto Boost. But where in there do you see talk of resetting the radio?
As far as the second thread, I haven't done those tweaks on my OG S1, and it gets MUCH faster data than this S2, so it must be something else.

Sorry, check the link again. I had posted the wrong link originally. Hang on, I'll copy it over to here in case I linked it wrong.
:edit: Here's the post. Sorry about that. And this was taken from a Boost user post on 3g stops functioning.

I fixed the problem. Here's what I did, just in case someone else's phone experiences the same symptoms.
-from the dialer, type ##3282# ...
-click EDIT and type your MSL code
-select EVDO from the menu
-I waited about 3 seconds while the signal bars and the 3G icons disappeared ... then I waited another couple of seconds for the icons to re-appear
-then I pressed the back button until I was back in the Home screen
NOTE: I didn't change any settings during this procedure, the 3G restored itself just by entering and exiting this menu
It looks like the radio resets during this procedure and everything restores back to normal. It's interesting that updating the Profile and the PRL did not help, even though the radio resets itself after performing said updates.

I tried the radio reset procedure you quoted, but it had no effect. Here's a video (4m, 14s) showing me trying the reset procedure and a speed test afterward, as well as my profile update difficulties.
Take a look. My apologies for the focus issues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MMh4gD7sGA
Have you manually set prl or tweaked anything on any settings?
And is this new or always after you changed it to boost?

I have not set a PRL. The only thing I tweaked was to remove the Sprint proxy in ##3282, though this did not help my speeds. When I bought the phone it had a bad ESN, so I never activated it on Sprint, only on Boost.

Only thing i would think to try is flashing a one click, since I've seen others on boost that says it doesn't change keys etc, and seeing of that helps.
Wish i had more experience with boost to be of any help.

I tried a one click back to EL29 (Gingerbread) last night since I read that I must be on a GB ROM to install CWM and proceed from there. No change in speeds, still have the error 67 registration failure.
Further, I rolled my OG Epic 4G back to stock so that I could get at the dialer codes and get it recognized in QPST, read its settings and saved them to a file, then opened up my E4GT in a window beside it. I then duped all the M.IP and PPP Config settings. I also checked the NAM settings to make sure they agreed.
No luck, I'm still having the same issues, while my OG Epic 4G is not.

[Q] Phone is roaming when it shouldn't be

So i finally got the computer to communicate with the phone and all the proper drivers installed. I loaded up my configuration file from my old phone for qpst. There was no signal at all, after messing around with some settings I finally got a signal and the 3G icon, however upon trying to make a call to cricket to activate the phone its giving me the message as if the phone is roaming like im out of state. I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to take a look at my qpst config file and see whats set wrong, I originally used the config file from this site for cricket and it worked great. now its not. please message me so i can email you the config file as i dont have access nor am i signed up to a hosting site.
heres the info on my phone:
Hardware version: 0004
Android version:2.3.5
Baseband version 2.15.00.01.15
Kernal version:2.6.35.10-g8b16b68 htc-kernal....
Build number:5.07.651.6 CL558861 release-keys (apparently the previous owner did an OTA but from what ive read since the update didn't change the hboot nothing should be affected by this)
Software number 5.07.651.6 710RD
PRI version: 42900
Also upon clicking on phone identity current username is the previous owners [email protected] and not what is displayed in qpst when i click on read from phone.
*EDIT* fixed this using ##3282# phone is still jacked up
The only other thing i can think of is that my new phone has yet to been activated but i wouldn't think this would matter, unless cricket gives me a new MIN number for my new phone.
I'm so confused
btw ive tried 7 different prls some hybrid but most of them not hybrid, ive tried nation wide roaming prls and non roaming prls. heres the list ive tried.
3510
45513
4697
1050
42900
45722
10900
at best i got welcome to verizon.
As I advised you on a previous thread. Join cricket users forum. They have dozens of cricket prls that will get you going. Once you get a welcome to cricket do an update *228 or *22804 it will give you the latest cricket prl in your area. Although you might find better signal download speeds with other prls.

no your MIN stays the same as long as your account and number are still the same. Have you already called cricket and given them the MEID number of the evo that you want to activate? also which rom are you using? its really hard to tell exactly where the problem is without seeing what settings you've used when you set it up in qpst.

I used the config file available for download off these forums, I googled qpst configuration file download n I think xda forums with the cricket config file was the first link, there's a few other cricket files available for download as well in that post as well. No I haven't called cricket yet to activate the phone but I don't see how activation would make the phone get out of roaming and go from Verizon to cricket towers, it never mattered before. I am using the stock Rom for now.
*edit* i switch to cyanogen mobile 4.0 rom as my phone got caught in a bootloop for some weird reason. fortunatly i rooted it and had smelkus's recovery loaded so everything should be fine now as far as the bootloop goes.
i'm going to try and activate the phone with cricket tomorrow and see if that solves the issue, i never had to activate before completing a flash in the past and dont understand how that would make the phone stop roaming on verizon towers but if this is the fix at lest someone else with the similar problem will have a fix, at the expense of me feeling incredibly stupid.
phone is now activated on crickets network and still roaming on verizon :-/
something i did notice is on the CDMA 2 tab which the tutorials dont mention is the spot where the MIN would go, (IMSI_S) there is a number there which im guessing was something from the previous owner of the phone, i tried putting my MIN there and in the CDMA tap I put my MIN in the same spot, but it seems to revert back to this other number. I also tried replacing it with all zeros. that didn't help either.
Im pretty sure i just need a correct prl. I have search throughout google and multiple forums for an phoenix arizona specific prl and any links to them are broken. I can now get the phone on the cricket network with zero bars, (using a nationwide standard prl) once in a while itll jump up to 2 bars but disappear before i can dial *228. If anyone has a phx az prl id like to give it a shot.
