ok first i would like to start by saying i am not an expert in the phone flashing field.
I've flashed a few phones in my day with qpst and cdma workshop, never a problem. until now.
I just recently changed my phone number. I used cdma workshop and qpst to write the new numbers to my phone and now im not getting data stream on the mobile network. Under wireless and network settings, the mobile network is check marked but just says "turning on..." and just stays like that.
anybody have any suggestions? am i missing something?
all old numbers were changed to the new number and old nai and mms were changed as well. and then phone was *228
phone is unlocked and rooted. duh.
phone worked perfectly fine with old number and im on the same data plan.
any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Did you unlock the phone before writing the changes to it in qpst?
yes phn was unlocked.
Any luck?

Luck with ? The phone was unlocked previous to the new flash.
I am noticing something though. when i *228 my phone, after reboot my imsi is changing to a different number.
Are you on cricket network? if so could you check and see if you mdm(phn number) is the same as your imsi. easiest way to check is; (menu, settings, about phone, phone identity)
No its different. My imsi is different from my meid. My imsi is 31027+myphone#

ya, my imsi is completely different from my phn number. so i wonder if its crickets programming thats at fault here, not the phone.
Please admin delete my post...
Try reflashing the phone and complete reprogramming with the new phone number. Use the latest prl file.

So now i have a new number and data works fine. dont know what the deal was.
and i guess here, cricket uses 2 different numbers. one for data(imsi) and the other is the mdm. weird that in other locals and other phones use the same number as both.
anyway, i asked what the problem was. the lady said she couldnt tell me. and that it was probably my fault for *228ing a flashed phn. I laughed and proceeded to *228 my phn in front of her and the phn still worked. wtf? i guess other flashes, i guess cheap/basic flashes cant do *228 ?
and why qpst can? anyone?
what do you use for flashing?
Lol that's weird and I use cdma workshop.

Try ##778# on your dialpad then go into the Security settings and under HDR AN Auth and PPP USER ID and S.IP DUN Username, make sure they are set to "[email protected]" and under HDR AN Passsord and PPP PASSWORD make sure it is "cricket".
Check the M.IP Default Profile too. make sure NAI and DUN NAI is set to "[email protected]" and under HA Shared Secret and AAA Shared Secret, they are set to "cricket"
Under M.IP Settings make sure the Number of profiles is set to "1" and the Active User Profile Index is set to "0" and the MIP MODE is set to Simple IP Only.
Try that and see if it works.
PRL
And also, you can try this PRL, it is the Cricket Nationwide Roaming EVDO PRL. it should work for the OTA (*228) Programming. But remember that you must check the EPST Settings under "security" and "M.IP Default Profile" after you OTA cause they will revert back to Verizon settings. Sometimes you have to *228 more than once to get it to work.
I had to zip the PRL, so just extract it and then put it on your SD card and update your PRL with it.

Hey man what's going on. Guess I've been a member here for long enough that I've gleaned far more than enough information and software from here that it's time I start posting and helping out others myself.
I am 99% I know how to solve your problem since I talked my brother out of his brand new HTC Droid Incredible a few days ago and I ran into the same problem as you at one point but as of approximately 6hrs ago I can happily tell you I have fully flashed my Dinc to the Cricket network here in Reno, Nevada with a PayGo Unlimited account for which I pay $40 a month and I am now able to do the *228 update after 3 days of trying and failing no matter how many bajillion (seemingly heheh) different prl's or other things I tried. (rofl I got like 40 cricket prl files now, maybe I should make my own site just for cricket prls lol)
Now, you say you flashed your wife's phone to cricket. Tell me did she already have a cricket account from which you are using the MDN and MIN to program her Dinc with? If something like this is the case then I am wondering if you have tried dialing 611 and talking to a cricket rep to have them change the MEID on the account to the MEID of the Dinc?
Let me know

Yes she had an account previous to her Dinc so after i flashed her phone I called and got the MDN and MIN from cricket and also I gave them the MEID from the DINC..she has service but I just can't get the phone to get the OTA update and like you I've tried at least 30 prl's. Currently I have 32400 prl loaded on her phone with no problems but I know that's not the prl she is supposed to be using. By the way I live in tucson az..Thanks for your reply

hey buddy i just noticed that you are from tucson as well!
well let me tell you that i have flashed android phones to cricket (my own) like the evo, droid 1, eris and incredible. ad let me tell you its not as hard as it seems or people make it seem, so here it is! the attached zip file contains OUR NEW NATION WIDE PRL and flashing instructions. you do not need QPST if your phone is already unlocked with 000000 if you dial ##778.
anyways just put the prl on sdcard then dial ##778 then password is:000000
go to PRL>update PRL> then choose the prl i have attached then follow the instructions from step 3 (skip 1, 2) without skipping anything and you should have your web mms set up!!
however if you run to any problems PM me and ill help you or i can either meet up with you here in the southwest of town and ill do it for you.
Hello everyone, I did a little searching and yet to find a problem or resolution similar to mines. I am not new to flashing. Everything normally ran smooth on previous phones that I did. My final product after the flash is the issue.
Flashed phone is an Evo 4g. One prior owner, a close friend who bought it new from the Sprint store. Not going into the technical details( assuming everyone knows the process). But my donor phone this time was the incognito.
Problems: I have no idea what could of happened. When I call out the number shows as private on any phone that I call. I try calling the phone, it goes to voice mail. I call out pressing *82 to see if my number appears but I always get a "Welcome to Verizon wireless, your mobile number is not active or invalid" . When I press 611 it goes to the Sprint Carrier. Sms don't work but internet does. Any guidance would be appreciated. Anyway in which I can restart from the beginning without rerooting? Or a way to bring the original esn back, I could take it from there also.
-Thanks

What rom are you using? Have you tried to update your profile and prl?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Yeah, sounds like you have a Verizon prl or you are roaming, try updating it.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Or, a Sprint PRL with enabled roaming.
Don't have the phone with me but a basic recovery rom (forgot the name) while rooting, updated to mikg sense rom, downgraded radios, flashed then received those issues, did a recovery from nand back up, issues still there. I'm not home yet, but i'll try to update the prl. I also thought it was one if those you guys stated. The other forum thinks that I screwed a middle step up and gave me some software( haven't tried it yet). But i'll update later.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I believe that you are correct it's running off of roaming. Don't know why I get verizon error though.. But sadly I found where I went wrong. I fcked a middle step up. Only 9/10 of the data successfully transfered to the device for some reason. My rls log shows that my esn(hex) is zero'd out. That means that the other ways involving esn to restore are now deemed useless, unless there is a way involving org. Hex or dex. I would try rewriting locations using old esn &meid locations but didn't write the esn down . Any guidance from here?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
once you write the MEID, I have always had it write the ESN for me, I have never had to restore the ESN personally. But there is a website out there that will figure out your ESN based off of your MEID. google it cause I do not remember the name of it off of the top of my head.
Yes, I was working with different software than I usually use. But yes I found a meid converter early. I now know my esn and will try to do it manually the way I stated above.

If someone could use the QPST software to make a backup of what the e4gt has inside the device.. since i flashed a file in the wrong slot of odin i have had so many problems.. currently my phone can make phone calls, text(no MMS) and connect to 4g but if i dont have 3g. it also says it needs to be activated yet i can still receive and make calls. i think it is something i did with qpst when i had to put the meid numbers back into the phone and somehow changed some other stuff.. you can remove any personal info(phone number, username, etc) but i just need to know what to do to get this back working properly.
i thought about using a pit file in odin but not sure if that would even help in my situation.
ok so just got finished talking to sprint and got my msid and msl back to what they were supposed to be. now i just need to figure out what else i changed in qpst. if someone could use qpst and save the file from there phone(take out msl, msid and phone number) then i could just put my information there and be good to go... PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME do this
Try updating profile usually any problems with connecting to the network or the I'd of your phone to the network will be fixed. I if not review your steps on what you did in qpst and try to find out what you may have changed.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
No nees to pit.
I swear I responded to this already. Hm.
What does settings/about_phone/status say your MSID is. It may be the problem. If it is not a number clise to your phones number call sprint and ask for it. They will tell you how.
Other options: a reprovision, as suggested.
##72786# is a DSA reset. It may help force a reprovision.
If all else fails, back up EVERYTHING and do a ##786# as a last resort. It will work, but has risks.
You will need your MSL for my suggestions unless you make an anycut/nova/apex activity shortcut to com.android.sprintmenu/ SCRTN (i think. Its the only one that looks like that)
Good luck

Thats usually the default.. i used 000000 as my msl in qpst to flash prl 11119. If not theres an app on the market and other ways to get your real msl.. the guy above was speaking about your MSID.. sometimes its the same as your number but a lot of times different.. but if your msid is wrong on the device it will cause all kinds of problems

Again the person stated could be MSID.. im not talking about tye MSL.. MSID/MIN is a ten digit number.. its needed to provision the phone correctly.. if he messed up his MSID/MIN in QPST then he needs to find his and correct it..
MSL is like a SEC or sublock code needed for the device to change certain things.. default is normally 000000. If that doesnt work you need to retrieve it from the device or from sprint. I dont think he could have wrote a prl to tye device if he didnt have the correct MSL thus he probably did something else wrong.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yeah ( i know, thats why I said he should check it. )
ADD: If it is MSID he could get it frim Sprint if he doesnt have it,
then, assuming a stock dialer, could ##(puthisMSL)# and enter MSID manually.
Is MSID one of the ten thousand number sequences on the box¿
I think its MAC, MEID etc

No.. mac and meid are on there.. msid wouldnt be because its assigned by sprint.. the meid is tied to the device.. msid/min and the telephone number are assigned by sprint.. for example if you change your telephone number your msid is likely to change but in some instances it will remain what it was before.. if people are having issues like he described first thing you would want to check is the programming of the phone.. if the phone was manually programmed (qpst in this case) he could have messed it all up lol.. thats why in the prl threads it says dont do it if your not sure what it is.. qpst has lots of tools in it.. he could have done a number of things wrong if directions werent followed to a T.. either way hope he gets it working right lol

I have a samsung r720 and have never been on the cricket network before, how else could iget this info. Ive downloaded qpst but it asks for a serial which i dont have. I only have the imei number. I dont use the networks, cant i just make something up.
Cracked screen--Bought replacement--Dies when I swap
I have a black SPH-D710 on Sprint. I cracked the screen, so I bought a white replacement on eBay without the battery or most of the guts.
I took the phone apart and swapped the screens and reconnected the boards and it powers up great... except that I have no service. If I connect back to the cracked screen, it powers up great and I get great service. I was hoping for a quick and dirty swap, but it seems like there must be some code in the screen-side circuit board that is foiling my attempt. I found this video [goo.gl/YNLZE -- xda won't let me post links, yet] where the guy seems to suggest that my problem is the IMEI, but I don't have the first clue about trying to find that in the old part and moving it to the new one, if that's even the problem.
Ideas?

Flashing stock ROM wont reset those settings. You will need to reset the activation on a stock ROM. I'm not sure of the code for that but its been in the treads a few times....
Which would be ##786#.....

As far as I know and someone else has already posted this... You can do a factory reset to bring the os back to a "out of box" state. But this in no way will effect, change or the dialer or radios. Those settings are set by the carriers.

Again, this is your original post. In it you clearly state that you "guess" you did the "##DATA# dialer code and" messed something with out my knowledge".
After rereading your original post again I'm thinking it really should have read this way...
"I went into ##DATA# and messed with some of the settings and didn't really know what I was changing." See the difference???
Those setting in "##DATA# or set by the carriers... They are there to tell the radios on your device how to communicate with and what frequency to use for the towers your cellular providers uses.
I'm going to assume that when you got your ET4G you had to contact your cellular provider to get it setup to use their service, right???
Questions:
1. If not how did you get it setup to see their towers???
2. Did they (provider) give you some kind of codes to enter in the ##DATA# settings???
3. If they did, do you still have them and have you tried that???
I've said this before... I really think you need to contact your provider and see if maybe they can re provision your radios.

As far as I know and someone else has already posted this... You can do a factory reset to bring the os back to a "out of box" state. But this in no way will effect, change or the dialer or radios. Those settings are set by the carriers.
Could you link me?
Again, this is your original post. In it you clearly state that you "guess" you did the "##DATA# dialer code and" messed something with out my knowledge".
After rereading your original post again I'm thinking it really should have read this way...
"I went into ##DATA# and messed with some of the settings and didn't really know what I was changing." See the difference???
Those setting in "##DATA# or set by the carriers... They are there to tell the radios on your device how to communicate with and what frequency to use for the towers your cellular providers uses.
I'm going to assume that when you got your ET4G you had to contact your cellular provider to get it setup to use their service, right???
Nope, I just needed the dump file for the 3g to work, 3g works on my dad's phone and it doesnt on mine. I use the same dump as his. Still? Wierd
Questions:
1. If not how did you get it setup to see their towers???
I just flashed a prl
2. Did they (provider) give you some kind of codes to enter in the ##DATA# settings???
nope, I had set the msl to 000000
3. If they did, do you still have them and have you tried that???
They are not aware of such a thing also.
I've said this before... I really think you need to contact your provider and see if maybe they can re provision your radios.
I tired they don't understand "reprovision radios"

As you were saying about the out of box state? Could you elaborate a bit more on that. I just need to reset the data settings of the phone to the state in which the phone had come. In the sense as in out of box.
Answers are in bold.
Thanx for your help

The reset I mentioned is a "factory reset" ... But like I already posted... It will only delete all of your user data and reset settings like wifi, email passwords...
It won't reset the radios...
If you had already flashed these files to get your phone working when you got it, Don't you still have them???

>Then enter msl

Hmmm,all right

Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 (how do I reinstall Sprint PRLs&get rid of Page Plus)
I bought a Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 not too long ago on Craigslist. Guy told me it worked with Sprint but he apparently flashed it to something that used Verizon PRLs (from what i've been told probably Page Plus). I recently tried to use Ringplus/Sprint with this phone but couldn't use it due to the PRL problem. When I try to make a call a robo Verizon operator pops up and I can't make calls. Of course, I can't get in contact with the guy that sold me the phone so im hoping you guys can help me get it to work with Sprint.
The MSL number has been changed to all zeros. And the dial code ##72786# shows "SCRTN" at the very top then just restarts my phone.
So I rooted the phone using this simple process. [SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956180
Then I downloaded SuperSU. Then tried DFS to change my MSL number back to the original number. But it didn't work. I tried PRL Helper, but that too did not work. Won't let me reset the PRL. So I unrooted my phone (or so I thought) and reset the phone to factory to see if that would work, and it did not. So I reinstalled the CF-Auto-Root and now even SuperSU won't work. Im new to all this rooting stuff. THIS IS FRUSTRATING!
My phone is running stock rom. Android version 4.4.2 Baseband version L900VPUCOH3. Build number KOT49H.L900VPUCOH3.
PLEASE HELP!
I'm not sure of all the prl changes and how all that works. That said I would use odin to revert to a stock unrooted ROM and try to reactivate sprint via settings prl updates ect.
Edit: here's a link to stock ROM for Odin. Hope it helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780984

Thanks for the help. I followed the instructions in the link and it didn't help at all. I still get a Verizon operator when I try to make calls and when I enter in try the carrier reset dial code ##72786# ,it shows "SCRTN" at the very top then just restarts my phone. There has got to be a way to fix this...
Sounds like you need to Google how to flash your phone to whatever carrier you are wanting to get on. I myself am on boost mobile.

Thanks. But thats what i've been doing. Im trying to get my phone to work with Ringplus(they use Sprint towers). I've been using cdma workshop to try resolve the issue but nothing has been working. I know that I need to revert my phone back to Sprint to be able to use Ringplus. Info on how to go from Page Plus to Sprint is very limited.

Thanks for responding. This is actually one of the first things I did and I also kept getting transferred to different people. What specifically did you ask the Sprint people for them to do what they did?
I had to buy a cheap donor phone to clone the settings and such over so i could use mine on boost. Just fyi

How would I clone another phone? And in order to do this right, would I have to clone another SPH-L900?

Sorry for the late response and thanks for the reply but I was trying to go to RingPlus not PagePlus.
Problem Solved!
Forgot to update. I fixed this problem.
How I FIXED Ringplus PRL problem (flashing to stock rom may or may not be necessary)
I fixed the problem by rooting my Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 with odin here.
[SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956180
The reverted to 4.2 Kit Kat stock rom using "ALL_SPT_L900VPUCNE2_L900SPTCNE2_1561791_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5" file.
https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-flash-samsung-stock-rom-via-odin.htm
Then I downloaded the "25xxx = residential acct - lte/800smr" PRL files from
http://*******************eestat.ir/?index=forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880781 (Add '?http://?xda-d?evelopers.freestat' to the beginning of link without the '?' marks.)
and extracting the "25XXX_LEG" folder then using the "25016.prl" file to desktop then using CDMA Workshop 2.7 to change the prl to the 25016 prl file.
Then I used trial version of DFS 16.2.21.0 to change my HEX and DEC and esn numbers to match what was on originally on the phone (I found this out through either Ringplus or going into phone dial code). It was a little difficult to change them because DFS kept saying it was skipping the request but after a little while even though it said it didn't change anything it did change it back to the original. That allowed my phone to be read by Ringplus and I was able to get the phone activated and PRLs updated automatically.
