[Q] Get 'Unauthorized' when trying to make calls, will not OTA - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

Referb came with 2.3.3 (4.22.651.2) and 1.90_003 PRI.... WTF?

So a bit of background first...
Been with sprint a couple months now and had data issues since day 1 (between 7 and 15 kB/s at home)home is worse but it generally sucked everywhere. I waited a few weeks to root while trying to resolve, but as it was not being fixed (and I was told ota would fix issues as it was radoi software in my area) I went with Kindom as soon as V dropped it. (rocks BTW I flashed a handful of others but always went back to it)
OTA dropped and I tried V's updated and of course it didnt improve speeds in fact they got slower... Called sprint back and went through another 3-4 calls before they sent me back to store for a full software check and breakdown of my phone. At that point I put myself back to s-on and stock for the visit (glad I did as they checked bootloader)
I was told at that point that they could do nothing as it was a evo issue (wtf) so called retention and was sent a airwave (not using it as I pay for data so I ant using my isp for that) and then a few calls later they finally send me a phone through advanced exchange. (supposedly new)
Sorry for the long backstory but now to the point...
I was told when I called Ret. that she would give me a 200 credit, but then came back and was told I didnt have enough support tickets filed to do so, and my only option was to try a new phone. Got the phone planning to take pics and vids of speedtest to send back to verify it is not a issue with my specific phone (had 3 friends with evos that have same issues, but epic blows away our speed in my house... found that hard to believe when I first saw it)
Phone came in and its refurb. On top of that it is on the GB update, but has a PRI of 1.90_003. To me that didnt seem right as every evo I have seen OTA or rooted OTA had the 2.15 so has anyone else seen this?
I plan on calling sprint as it was supposed to be new, not refurb, but want to make sure that this isnt something I just dont know about (doubtful... seems almost like a previously rooted with s-on?) so I can limit my time on phone and have a good stance to argue... Spent 6 hours on the phone with them already this week and dont want anymore than I have to.
Hmm interesting situation i am not expert on sprint by any means but try to keep up with my phone. a good question to ask sprint or if anyone else knows is ... what is sprints policy on updating phone when they are "refurbished"? I'd assume that if it meets the req to be refurbished they most likely updated it to gingerbread before reboxing. I guess thats a thought sorry i can't help with ur data issues but good luck
Sorry I should have shortened it down to not confuse...
Isuue is not the GB, but the PRI that came with the GB as it is not the correct PRI for that version...
1.90_003 vs 2.15_003 (what it should be)
I dont even want to touch the phone and then when it gets sent back have issues with them saying I rooted it, as there is no way to flash to a correct PRI that I know of at this time..
Edit: Or they may in fact be shipping with that version. Just hoping for others response and experience as it seemed fishy.
have u tried downgrading to 1.77 as well ?
its a wake issue fix for some sense gb roms out there but once again not specific to your problem
Had an AE replacement done recently, picked up 3 days ago. I received a new unit with GB and the 2.15_003 PRI.
Cannot downgrade, upgrade, anything... As stated this is a refurb phone that just came in. It is on the 4.22 so as far as I know there is no way to flash anything...
Its not rooted, though may be a previously rooted phone...
Basically has anyone seen a NON-ROOTED phone come with GB and 1.90 PRI
Edit: Ty jadigy that was more of the answer I was looking for

yes my replacement that I just got today has PRI 1.90_003. I updated to 4.24.651.1 and still the same PRI.
Is there a way for non-rooted phones to update their PRI?

AFAIK there is not... hence my issue
After a couple hours on the phone with sprint (and a couple drinks after to make up for it) I was told it was a rooted device... I may have pointed them in that direction to get a replacement though. That said I also asked them if they were hiring as the first 6 people I talked to either did not know what a PRI was or simply did not know how to find out what was shipped with the 4.22 update.
I must say walking each one through the process only to be told they had no Idea and I finally asked for a store appointment. (hopefully a bit more luck there)
The general consensus seemed to be I should check to see if it said 2.3 for the android version and if it said anything but that (even 2.3.3 LOL) it was either a fake or rooted phone.
That said sprint has issues with their CS to say the least and I am thinking of starting a poll/ballot (probably not the right word... did I say a few drinks... I meant meant a few during and a few after) the devs/members here to work for sprint
sorry for cutting in..i just posted without reading this first,sry for that,but i am on the same pri,and it wont let me flash as well.1.90 003,this sucks

I called them last night too. Everytime I would say PRI they would say PRL, I finally explained the technical difference to the guy on the phone. Long story short he claimed their demo device was 1.90. Were you able to have them admit was version was the latest?
Is there a problem with having the 1.90 PRI or something?
Did you try the complete wipe with MSL and or other reset method that was used in the past to update the PRI. The real questions is why does it matter, but give it a shot.
To do a complete wipe, you will need your MSL code. Call sprint and they can give it to you.
Type in ##786# into the dialer, hit menu and chose reset and punch in your MSL. Your phone will clear out all data and settings except for your SD card. It will then reboot and do hands free activation, check for a PRL and firmware update. Somewhere in there you should get a newer PRI.
You can check your PRI version in About Phone under Software Information. If you don't succeed at first, keep trying...and trying...and trying.
Restoring your nandroid backup will not overwrite the new PRI, so you can get your phone back to the just the way you like it.
I'm not sure if there is a difference or just a placebo. Web pages seem to load faster. Some pre and post speed tests might have been helpful but I didn't have the foresight to do that.
Edit:
You may be able do the same thing without wiping your phone. Not sure if the wiping is a necessary part or what yet.
Steps:
Dial ##3282#
Enter Edit Mode
Enter your MSL
Select Data Profile
Menu
Restore
Let Phone Reboot, and Wait and the Hands Free Activation will Start.
Repeat until you have an updated PRI.

Just do an online chat and they will give it to you. I tried the ##3282# method last night, no go.
Also my speeds are consistently below 250 kbps since having my old one replaced.

With a post like that you should not care what PRI you have. You simply read a post and see that it says call "Sprint" You would need root to use an MSL reader from the market, but I don't believe this was ever mentioned. To do a full reset with the ## codes and the MSL you would not need ROOT.
Simply put if you are inquiring about the PRI or looking for a root method for an OTA 2.3.3 you must have not have used the search button.

Did you read any of this thread before making your post? I really don't care what PRI I have, I was merely commenting on a post of someone else who also just got a refurb like myself with the older PRI version that should have been updated when the EVO software was updated to 4.22.651.2. I then proceeded to ask what the disadvantage was about having a 1.90_003 PRI, which no one responded to. I could care less if I root my phone or not, but the instructions you provided clearly indicated root was required considering it says to do a nandroid backup. I understand that sometimes Sprint will give you the MSL code, but in my case so far they have not been willing to do so. I would like to have the most recent version of whatever is available for my phone. Thanks.

If they did not supply it to you then you went around it the wrong way. Try, "Mr. Sprint agent I recently updated to the OTA 2.3 and have been experiencing some issues. I believe that I may be able to correct them myself with a full reset. I have done some of the software resets in the OS itself by going to settings/SD & phone storage/ Factory data reset. And I am still not grabbing a good signal. I have updated my profile and PRL in the System updates but think I should do a full reset using the # codes. The only problem is I need my MSL. Would you be able to supply this for me so I can manually reset and program my phone? This will hopefully resolve my issues and complete all my needs for this phone call."

I can see your confusion with referencing a "Nandroid" and thinking this means you have to be Rooted. You can do all of the # codes without being Rooted. You need Root for a "Nandroid", you are correct. I am throwing out all of the actions in one step so this could apply to a rooted or non rooted users in some fashion. I usually always supply too much information rather than too little, so again I hope that clears up the confusions.
I myself am currently stuck on 2.3.3 build 4.24.651.1 and am waiting for what everyone else is that is stock.

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.

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.

[SOLVED] A pre-rooted Dinc: Upgrade Questions

So I have what may be an obvious question, but it's not one which I have run into before. (my previous device was a Droid 2 which used a fairly generic boot loader)
I got my phone used off Ebay about 3 weeks ago. When I did, I assumed it was a stock Dinc, and so collected everything that I would need to mod it. Low and behold when it arrived and I charged it up, it had already been rooted, S-offed, and had CWM on it (the auction had not mentioned it being a rooted phone) So it took a sum total of five minutes to flash a new rom in.
Now, on further digging around, I find it has an old radio on it, (2.15.00.07.28) and also still has the old owner's phone number in it. Now, a few forum posts I have read in the past few weeks have indicated that installing a newer radio rom may improve some of the functions such as the light metering of the camera... but I have also seen that doing so may bork the S-off as this is stored in the radio rom?
What effect would it have if I put a radio rom on this already rooted and now rommed phone (Albinoman's JBb3). Should I just do it, or should I return the phone to totally stock prior to upgrading the radio software? And also, is there a way to erase the old owner's phone number from the My Phone Number field since this is now a wifi-only device and i'd rather the OS not send that info out when it's not correct.
Or am I just completely off base and don't need to worry about the radio at all?
Thanks for any help in advance!
You dont have to return to stock to flash the radio.
With radios I think it depends on your area. One radio that works great for someone may be terrible for someone else. The general consensus is that updated/newer software would improve the experience but I think with radios it varies. If you do change the radio make a backup and check the md5. Latest dinc radio is in my SIG.

Changing your radio will not mess up s-off or anything else as long as you check the md5 and take the proper precautions. Also changing the radio will not help the camera or anything else besides your cell signal.
S-off is stored deeper than the radio, but tools like unrevoked use certain versions of radios to gain access to this setting and modify it.
No need to revert to stock, and there is NEVER a need to go s-on unless your selling the phone or sending it to HTC. I see so many people say they went s-on to fix some kind of issue, or to upgrade and then the phone messes up durring the proccess and it makes it much harder to fix.
You can remove the number by accessing epst. Dial ##778# hit edit mode and type six zeros as the password. Go to each menu option editing the info you dont want there. Replace numbers with an equal ammountvof zeros (147-237-9900 = 000-000-0000) When done hit menu and commit changes.

Thanks for the answers, that filled in a lot of blanks for me I Figured I didn't need to go S-on, but I didn't know if, like on my old Droid 2, there were certain situations where I'd have to revert to stock before flashing.
UPDATE, I flashed the radio yesterday to 2.15 with no problems. Got a tiny bump in my battery (which tells me the old radio was working harder than it had to)
##778# didn't work for me though, instead it rang up "welcome to verizon" and wanted me to wait to talk to an operator about placing my call.
also tried without the third hash, also tried ##3424 and ##775... all with variations on the same result; either my phone is not in service, or my phone number is inactive... none of them accessed the menu system.
::edit::
I also tried variations on #program# and #data# with no luck,and tried turning off all the radios I could get at.
Any further ideas or steps I may be missing would be greatly appreciated. I also put in an ask over on the rom forum.

Have you tried *#*#data#*#* or *#*#program#*#*
Yeah, tried those as well... but got my answer, apparently only Sense-based Roms can use ESPT, and since I'm running Albinoman's JB rom, no go for me unless I flash over to a sense-rom, make the changes, then flash back. Might be a project for tomorrow while the laundry is going... or perhaps I'll wait for beta four of the JB Rom, flash to sense, do the tweak, then flash to the new beta.
but I'm getting there. in the last week I have inserted new kernels, new radios, And troubleshot this problem, plus dialed in my Nova interface tighter and tighter, in addition to the font toying and so on I've been doing. who knows, sooner or later I might even try to compile something.
thanks for the assist though. Is much appreciated.
well, at the end of the day, I never did get EPST working. I tried several different sense roms, tried installing the APK and pushing it from ADK, the closest I got was to punch in ##788# and it would say "loading requested resource" and then, nothing.
so now I'm on to Release Candidate #2 of Albinoman's 4.1 Rom and will come back to the phone number issue later.

Yes you can. You just need to flash a metro prl to your phone, and then contact them. They should be able to do the rest ota. You can get a metro prl here http://www.corolada.com/prl/. If on a stock rom you can flash it with epst, if not you need to use a pc program called QPST.
Man you are the greatest..Seriously!
Im gonna try it right now
Although i need help because QPST cant detect the phone. Im pretty sure that means that the phone needs to be in diagnostic mode
But im trying to get in it but i can't. Does it have to do with being in Tiny's CM10 and not stock?
Well update, i went to gingerbread and changed the prl but i dont think my number got transfered although the metropcs system works
Any help with this?

Simply changing the prl will not program your phone. The prl meerly allows metro to comunicate with the phone. Im not sure exactly how metros system works. Do you already have an account and number from metro, and is the phones meid registered on metro? If it is you can probably dial *228 and select the option to program if metro uses this option. If you dont have an accout or your phone isnt registered with metro, you will need to call them and do so. You just give them the phones meid they register it, and then program the phone ota (over the air).
