Evo 4G Flashed and Rooted to Boost ERROR 16 HELP!!!!! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Not yet fam. You will be the first one I let know how when I do get it done, if you don't beat me to it. Error 16 switch 252 my nemesis....

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.

funny thing is my incognito works fine. I guess I would still have to call and find out tomorrow.

correction now the incognito is doing it after trying a hard reset on that. Guess I will have to call boost tomorrow.

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.

[Q] Can Someone Please Help, I am willing to donate

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..
sent from my Evo
##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.

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.

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.

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

serious issue with roaming please HELP!!!!!

I'm having a serious issue with roaming I live in central florida and in some areas the sprint service suck. I'm currently running the latest fresh rom as well as the latest klick kernel I have tried also stock kernel same thing. Currently have flashed pri 1.77 and I also had pri 1.43 and the same problem happened. When ever I try to make a call and if I'm in an area where there is no signal and I have to roam. Usually it is verizon towers when I call it says that you for calling verizon we are sorry we cannot authenticate your phone please call verizon customer service. If I try to call again several times it will actually xfer me over to an operator for verizon and ask me if I'm placing an international call. So I can not roam onany network because my phone can not be authenticated has anybody had this issue. Thank you please any help or adivse I would greatly apperciate thank you

There is a thread in development that is devoted on fixing this. I believes it involves calling a direct # to Sprint, where they fix your phone on the network.

If u are on a sense rom, try updating your profile. If that still doesn't work, you will have to call sprint. Tell them exactly what's going on and they will fix it on their end thru the phone. You might have to call several times before u talk to a sprint rep that knows what they are doing. When I had this problem, the first rep told me to go to a sprint store. I hung up and called again and the second rep was able to fix

Call up Sprint, ask to speak with EVO Technical Support, tell them that you are getting an error message from Verizon saying they can't authenticate your device whenever you make a call on roaming, that you can't connect data, that you've updated your PRI, PRL, Profile, and checked software updates. They'll have to update some stuff on your end, and probably ask you to do a Factory Reset as well (so make sure to backup your stuff first!).
Took me less than five minutes to get everything sorted out.
Awesome thank you guess much I was talking To at lady sprint tech department she had me make sure I was using the correct msid number. Then she told me if that didn't work she gave the the # code to do a complete reset including programming reset as well. Going to try that tonight thank you. Anybody have a solution for the Bluetooth connecting then disconnecting all the time thanx.

ask Sprint support to help you reset your MSID... did that on mine and everything worked great!
This problem is killing me. I just rooted the evo to be able to tether at work to my personal computer but now (after root) I'm getting that Verizon message about can't authenticate the phone.
Anyone have more about this? I've searched the hell out of Google and nothing seems to be acurate to my problem.

How are you trying to tether? Wired or wireless? And if you are doing a wired tether, using that usb pop up, and choosing internet connection sharing, you get a pop up error...
not our problem that we were having. For that to work, you need to pay sprint for it or use calkuins mod in the development forum.
... Or use wireless tether found in the market
Ours was when roaming on verizons towers, we couldn't make a call or use data. Resetting the msid fixes that.
I forgot to say that I was trying to tether via wifi and while using data roaming. Well, after countless hours reading hundreds of threads I found this and worked for me. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769966&highlight=force+roaming. (sorry can't post links)
In short- call Sprint (number in the linked thread) tell them about your roaming message problem. Tell them that you read in the forums that the best known fix for this is to "refresh my phone on your (Sprint) end". Tell them that they do something there that you need to remove the battery of your phone and reinstall.
This will most likely fix your problem. >> You'll need to be on roaming I tried without roaming ( while on Sprint network) and didn't work.
By any circumstances let them to get you into hard reset, soft reset, we don't do this, i don't know, we'll exchange your phone, etc... You might have to update your PRL.
I got it fixed in the 3rd attempt.
The first one - a female tech wanted me to do a hard reset and got really upset because I was "telling her what to do" (she got pissed). >> If this happens be polite and hang up with the person and call again. no results? Repeat...
The second - a guy was very helpful and understood what I wanted. He did it but I couldn't get the phone on roaming (couldn't find the darn "roam control" widget to force roaming) so it didn't fix it.
The third - another nice guy after explaining him what the second guy did and the no roaming message situation (do not mention the root or force roaming) he told me to remove the battery - did his thing- installed the battery and while on roaming placed a call and IT WORKED.
I recommend you to read the thread from the posted link for more info. Hope this helps. I spent all day trying to fix this from start to finish. It should take you 20 min from this point to get the thing fixed.

Essentially the same as resetting your msid dude. You coulda saved some time by just calling sprint and telling them the answer you already got here.

[Q] Error 1012 no matter what Sprint or I do

For the past week and 1/2 i get error 1012 if i do a profile or prl update. I play with my radios in different area to test. So i always follow up with a profile update. So then i have to call sprint, have them refresh my phone and then it works for a short period of time. If i do a profile restore it never activates and have to call sprint.
Running synergy rc1 hw 0002
Lastest radios were flashed in fastboot and have worked before.
When i called sprint they gave me a credit if i was to go to the store and it be free of charge and id get a new phone. But i dont want to end up with 2.3 and loose root.
Also she said it no longer matter if your phone is rooted. You can bring it for service.

Did you use clockwork mod? This guy had a similar prob.
I am having this issue as well, I posted in the forum in that link.
This is odd. We can make calls on the phone, internet, text, can not update PRL, profile and it will not receive picture texts. I messed up and DID NOT make a backup of the stock ROM, as I put a new 16g SD card in it. So I dont know if I can go back to the Stock rom or not and try it all again.
I really dont want to go to Sprint and then be given a new 2.3.3 phone.
Thanks to all that have any ideas.
I have another EVO and did the same thing to it, and it works perfectly.
I had this problem, too. The only thing that fixed it for me was a full wipe using ##786#. You will need the MSL code to do this. If you don't have it and you are rooted, you can get MSL reader from the market. If you are not rooted, then you need to call Sprint and sweet talk them into giving it to you. Back up all your apps/user date with Titanium (or whatever you use) before attempting this because it WILL wipe everything from your phone.
i use amon recovery. wiped my whole phone and reinstalled the rom, even flashed others with no go. Downgraded radio = nothing, upgraded again = nothing
I have had lots of problems getting my Data to work on my EVO running on the Boost Mobile Network(A.K.A. Sprint). Still continue not to have Data on it. I assumed it was PRL Version, but was incorrect. Well, I would get the same Error Code. I managed to update PRL manually using the link below.

Still NO DATA on my HTC EVO 4G!
Still get calls & text messages, but no internet!
I got a refurb phone a couple days ago, and they were having provisioning problems then when trying to update it at store. Perhaps it's still occurring?
UPDATE:
I took it to the store yesterday. When I went to go pick it up i noticed a scuff mark on the bottom left along with the screen lifting. Went back today to get my refurb only for this one have the whole bottom lift and fiber in the rear camera and the lense. Back to the store I go and hopefully I get a new one.
UPDATE: given another refurb. This one is perfect, no issues. no more errors. also its hardware version 0002. Weird. The other was 0004. So about $37 at the store. when i called sprint I received a $50 credit along with the $37 I spent on the phone. New phone plus credit = a happy customer.

I have been working on my HTC EVO phone for several days trying to get my number transferred and the phone activated. I have done a factory reset called customer service, tried rooting it, everything. I got the MSL code from the previous service providers, luckily, and reset the meid imsi and everything. Finally I came across this post and it was a life saver. You providing the ##786# was what i needed to totally clear everything. It is finally activated. Thank you so much it worked!!

[Q] Phones calls and texting not working on convert to boost

So ive been working on getting this epic 4g to properly run on boost all weekend. Ive reread and rewrote NVs to the epic from my ingocnito donor phone a couple times. Matched numbers to CDMA Roam MiP ect... From what im reading everywhere ppl are having issues with 3G and mms working. Seems that im the only one having issues with texting and phone calls working. 3g and MMS are working fine. Does anyone know what settings or what steps im missing?? Ive refered to the guide from here and the one from youtube over and over again. Googled how to get sms and voice to wrk and nothing. Which step in the guides control the operation of voice and sms? This is beginning to drive me insane. I was able to make 1 phone call then like an hr later it didnt work anymore and hasnt since. Im running froyo ec05 rooted
Hey I got x1 working and sms u think u can help me fix my 3g, mms. And I'll help u with phone calls and texts? Guess we can team view if u want unless someone can help us both lol

boost is fun
I was getting the message error 16 when trying to make phone calls. What that means is I must have had my donor phone on at the same time as my epic. So boost suspended my account giving me that error. So I got a hold of someone who flashed phones to boost for a living and had him restart my service. Then I wasn't getting 3g after that. Quick fix was to update profile in settings/about phone. (Be on a stock rom when doing this I was on ec05 and was able to update to the latest android OTA.) Then presto 3g and everything else wrked. And about getting mms working delete the numbers in proxy. Can't remember exaxtly but in the development section on getting 3g and mms working in the op it explains how to get mms. Its easy.

Quick fix was to update profile in settings/about phone. (Be on a stock rom when doing this I was on ec05 and was able to update to the latest android OTA.) Then presto 3g and everything else wrked. And about getting mms working delete the numbers in proxy. Can't remember exaxtly but in the development section on getting 3g and mms working in the op it explains how to get mms. Its easy.

nope you got it all wrong, error 16 means you dont have the correct provisioning to connect to the tower your phone is trying to connect to, this may sound funny but let it go to error 16 when making a call, then talk to the sprint service rep. tell them your account info Phone # and pin and they will reset your device and re-provision it.
for 3g and data to work you need to change the apn on most roms there will be an app named voice dialer, say "open A.P.N" click on sprint and edit it to change the MMSC address to mm.myboostmobile.com
Also talking to a sprint service rep they told me error 16 comes from modem/PRL pushing as well, try to update the modem to fc09 in the dev section, error 16 can be annoying sometimes when in low or dead service zones, because epic tried to use roaming, but boost disables it on their side.
Hit the thanks button if I helped you

Thats funny cause a rep did answer when i was trying to make calls. I just hung up though. The guy i talked to that helped me restore my service said error 16 is the cdma network recognizing there was two phones with the same esn # running at the same time. Maybe that would cause a error 16 too, Never the less its working again. Where were u two weeks ago when i was going crazy trying to figure it out lol. :cyclops:

[Q] Default Sprint Banner

I picked up a used Evo 4G recently only to find the previous owner had it flashed to MetroPCS.
As far as I can tell I've got it all back on the Sprint network but still having some problems, example, it'll only call out or receive voicemail when roaming. I want to take it to the Sprint store but the banner says "MetroPCS".
I need to know exactly what the default Sprint banner says so I can fix it up before taking it in.
The device is showing my @sprintpcs email address, downloaded the latest PRL (60687).
I didn't know what the MSL was and didn't use cdma-workshop because on two different systems with two different antivirus software it came up as Malware. I set it to 000000 using a guide I found but could do with knowing what it should be. (Is the MSL unique to me as a customer, if so would I be able to find it from my Moment phone maybe?)
Anyway, the main thing is the banner. If I can set this then it'll be half the battle.
TIA.
P.S. Why wouldn't this be reset after a factor reset? Is there a code that will literally wipe everything or am I missing something that I need?
I think it didn't reset because its a radio thing, not software. Not the smartest on carrier flashing things though.

Post 1 and use the 3rd download link for the PRI, baseband and WIMAX.
Flash it and see if that fixes the issue.
Thanks for the link. I have to leave in 10 minutes so I'm not going to have time. I have tried to get into recovery before (hold down volume while powering on) but it doesn't seem to work for me so I need to look around and see what I'm missing. If Sprint can't help then I'll give this a go.
They did tell me they had a service outage in this area so I'll try on my way home.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Make sure fastboot is off in settings, and once that is off, pull out battery and put back in then try again. Or get quickboot or something from the play store.

Thanks for the posts. Sprint was saying that they couldn't get it to receive a signal so they'll just replace it for me. That $8 a month that I've been paying forever finally pays off!
