Buying a EPIC Touch 4G setup for BoostMobile

I am buying a boostmobile configured Epic Touch4G, how do I restore it back to Sprint's network other then calling Sprint to configure the ESN to be setup on my line?
Thanks.

They might have stolen it which is why its on boost so if u try the esn will come back as bad...

As mentioned don't buy it, I guarantee it has a bad esn.
That said, it is one of the easiest phone do a repair on. Google for epic 4g default 16 digit password. You will need a donor phone that is activated on sprint. If your donor phone is old enough you maybe able to get all your programming info from ##data#. If not, use QPST copy the info. Your HA AAA password maybe a pain to get. Googling will tell you how to get that too.
It is very doable. I have my E4GT on my OG Sero plan.

Before you decide to buy or not, check the ESN.
You can check the ESN online at http://www.checkesnfree.com or call it in to Sprint C.S.

The ESN is clean, but how do I restore it exactly to be on Sprint again? Any guides?

You aren't cloning so it should be easy. I would think that the settings are pretty close already. Activate from the website and follow the programming direction. That should get you going.
If not then if you have another sprint phone. Dial ##data# on both phones and just start copying the info from the donor to e4gt. You will need the msl/Spc code to enter the data on the e4gt. If you have the msl for the donor phone enter it too, it will show more info.
Forgot, makes sure the Meid in settings/ about phone are the same as under the battery. If not, its very easily fixed.

There's a little more to it then that. If you can't get your original AAA password (nv item 1192) then you will need a donor phone. Try a ##786# reset or flashing a new radio to hopefully reset your nv items. Without the AAA password, you will not be able to authenticate your 3g and will be stuck in 1x

Funny, I read the first post as saying he wants to put a previously boost converted E4GT back on Sprint. If you want to go the other way, google is your friend. You will have to piece the process together by reading threads for different phones. Horwardsforums and mobile-files.us may prove helpful. Keep in mind many forums are purging info regarding esn repairs for fear of legal action, so that aspect maybe a little tougher to find but it is out there.

Understood. I wasn't aware that it was illegal. I was under the impression that it was like flashing to MetroPCS. Thanks for clearing things up

[SPRINT] GNEX Defective Radio Epidemic POLL

There is a not insignificant amount of people complaining about phones which upon activation (can make and receive calls) cannot receive 3g or 4g Data.
Pertinent Threads:
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/414670#414670#414670
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/415272#415272
about 7 pages of posts from just 2 threads on the front page.
haven't even looked in the general samsung or customer service forums for individual complaints yet.
Observed BEHAVIOUR:
* The phone is unable to maintain a consistent connection to 3G.
* At times it'll connect to 3g. for a few minutes at most then lose the connection and ip address.
* The signal icon doesnt say 3g. just shows bars. either says 1x/RTT in status or Evdo Rev A.
The SHADYNESS:
From the threads above. We discover
Sprint WAS until yesterday (4/24) replacing these defective handsets with new ones over the phone.
On that morning there was a memo instructing support members to tell customers that a "open network ticket" has been opened and that it has nothing to do with the handset.(This is what happened to me tonight.)
DESPITE
1. that I can ESN Swap back to my epic 4g and see everything is working quite well.
2. demo Galaxy Nexus at the stores have their data working perfectly well.
empirically speaking, 1. eliminates the possibility of it being a activation/provision issue,
2. eliminates the possibility that its LTE/3g activation related or a widespread network issue.
Sample Experiences from people in the sprint forums.

I've so far counted 31 instances of people having a faulty phone in my limited research on this topic. If we take into account the small microcosm forum users are of regular users. We can extrapolate that there is a widespread defect. adding the factor that sprint has come up with a "story" for their customer support reps to use to tell customers it will be 48 - 72 hours before getting a answer. We might surmise this is because they don't wish to use up current limited stock on exchanges of faulty phones.
I'm curious how much this has affected any of you.

HEY OP DUDE. Sprint won't replace my phone! Store says stock it has is for sale not for repairs/exchange! HULK ANGRY
Banner down dude.
I got a fool proof plan for you. Bro.
edit: Got it replaced at a store. SUCCESS!
I didn't even have to go any further than Recourse 1.
Framework for getting a exchange/repair.
Note that while doing all/any of the below. You must remain polite, calm and civil at all times.
Everyone you are talking to with the exception of store managers tend to just be "Cogs" in the machine.
They are not the source of the problem. They are people. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
by being civil, understanding and reasonable. You negate their ability to excuse and ignore
any fallout from their behaviour by saying you were a entitled irrational angry psycho customer.
1. Find a Corporate Sprint Service/Repair Store nearby. Call ahead first. Ask if they have galaxy nexus in stock. Tell them thanks. Hangup.
Bring a notepad and pen with you to the store. Explain the situation and how it's a known problem. (you have a open network ticket but that you find it strange that their gnex in store works.) ask them how it can be a network issue. "Clearly it has to be the phone right?" ask them if they can exchange the phone. if they say no. ask why. If they say they have none in stock. state that you called before hand and they did. If he says they are for sale only. Take your pen and note the lie and reason. Look up, Smile, ask for their name, sprint id. and their manager, his name and his id and the store number. Should they ask why. Simply say so you can have it for reference and documentation to when you speak to executive services to help get your problem resolved.
Remain in the store.
2.Call customer support refer to your open network ticket, ask them how it can be a network ticket if the stores galaxy nexus works perfectly. Ask if they could ship you a replacement or ask the store to exchange yours.
Should that fail. Run the same routine you did above. get first guy's id. if he makes his manager close the call. get his name and id if necessary.
3. Google these keywords: sprint consumerist executive customer service
Find the number
Call it while you are still in the store in front of the employees or manager. (Be cool.)
Politely explain what's gone on. and the steps you've taken to resolve. (and how you've exhausted everything reasonably )
and if they lied about it being a known issue or whatever. indicate their failings in a factual manner. give the lady their store ID, the employee and managers names as well as your customer service rep's and his manager's id. (if they lied about it being a known issue and about the change in policy)
and that you've tried to be reasonable about escalating the issue yet
These employees have been deceptive and unhelpful despite every reasonable step you've taken.
More interested in having stock to sell and maintaining numbers than customer care. blah blah blah
If the store employees don't try to stop you before you call or during the call.
it's pretty much guaranteed exec services will take care of you, Punish the store if they were unhelpful and lied.
and get a working phone for you faster.
FOOLPROOF!
or so I hope. but as mike tyson said. "Everybody's got a plan til they get KTFO."

Could you post some more info about your phone to see if there's a pattern somewhere? eg. baseband version, locked or unlocked, have you flashed anything, etc

updated OP with pertinent info.

I am having dropped call issues and I thought maybe I would try something other than a factory data reset. Does a dialer code reset do more than just wipe your phone's memory? Which dialer codes did you use on your phone to do a reset?

variance said:
The answer to your questions are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737594
Note ignore the *# stuff and remember the number reference for what you want to access.
in our phone the format is *#*#(code here)#*#*
with activation on the second #*
The codes are ways to get at the CDMA diagnostic stuff. Debug menus
view signal stats, etc.
You will need your MSL code to see or edit some of them.
You can get that by first rooting.
go to your Android Market and download Terminal Emulator.
And Type in "su" (for super user access)
And then type "getprop ril.MSL" (then enter to get you Device's MSL code)
a EPST reset deletes the activation information, data profile, as well as wipes all data making it do the hands free activation/provisioning thing upon reboot.

Thanks very much for the help! I believe I found the code that I'm looking to use. However, I'm having a hard time getting the code to go through.
"*#767*3855# - Factory Format - WARNING!!!

Nice if you'd like to reactivate your phone, it will do so automatically".
All the numbers that I put in the dialer simply disappear after adding the second #* . Any suggestions? Thanks.

Sorry to clog up the thread.. but now that I'm rooted, I can't get the MSL. None of the apps in the market are working and Terminal Emulator isn't doing anything when I enter the commands. The app "Get My MSL" gives me the error "could not get property ril.MSL" any help? Perhaps it's because I'm running a stock-rooted rom? I'll try a custom one..

so you typed
su
getprop ril.MSL
did not work?
cap sensitive. MSL need to be capped
if that does not work for some strange reason.
do the social engineering way. call sprint. go to activation line
say you need to manually activate your phone and need the msl code.

Count me in the dead 3g batch. Phone works great otherwize. I growing fond of my wifi Gnex tablet :'(. Fwiw, all you guys looking for a MSL, there's a universal for us try 311324

I get the data mess ups when I update profile and prl. But then it comes back on. On cm9 I kept getting the 1x thing.

Received a replacement due to no 3g data, replacement exhibits the same problems as the original.
It was determined that two devices doing the same thing for one person was a network issue. A ticket was opened and then promptly closed by the network team siting a known product issue.
No time frame on fix and sprint not willing to send out another device.
Fun times!

Donor phones to flash evo 4g to BM

Hi guys, I'm about to cancel my Sprint account and root the evo to boost, the incognito/rant are no longer on sale except on eBay. Which of the newer cheapest phone from Boost I can use as a donor???? I am afraid to get a used one from eBay thinking it might not work. Thanks in advance.

I've gotten mine, always used incognito, from craigslist. Doesn't matter what condition the phone is in as long as it powers up and can connect the usb port. I've done it with the Evo and the E3D. I want to try one of the Galaxy phones next but haven't gotten my hands on one. Good luck.

I've done two now with the incognito and their both working fine.
Technically you could use any 3g phone, it just may be harder to get all the info you need since most of the directions are for those 2...

Thanks guys, so I won't matter if the incognito has been used as a donor before?? does it has to be an incognito from Boost or any other carries who might have sold it.:good:

It has to be from boost. And it can ONLY be used as a donor once at a time.
Meaning, say a buddy uses it to flash his evo. If he's still using it, you can't.
So if your buying one, make sure its a clean esn and activatible.

Just change the phone number on the Incognito it will assign new HA/AAA information.

But that doesn't matter. When you clone the info to a new phone, its always going to use the same unique numbers. The HA/AAA are only the passwords needed to access the information.
The esn/meid are unique and only 1 phone has those numbers. Its like a network mac address.
So no, you still can only use a phone once at a time. Otherwise, I could sell just the numbers off my phone all day long.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

I'm not talking about multiple people using the same information.
I'm talking about generating new HA/AAA information so at least he would know there's no way for some else to have it like the guy he bought it from.
By activating the phone you know if its in use or not.
He wouldn't be able to even activate the phone if someone is even using the MEID or ESN.

Can't you just call boost with your evo's ESN and they'll put it on their network? No need for a donor if so.

Some people claim they have but their official policy is against it, most have said they've been denied and I haven't even tried.
They can tell what ESN is coming from where Boost and Sprint ESNs are not considered the same in their systems.

To my understanding after reading a few blogs is that you can't do that, it will seem doable because is basically the same network(Sprint) but aparently is not possible therefore the need to flash.

Update
Just to update there are some other phones that can be use see this.
I was able to get a brand new incognito from a Sprint Store in VA, I spoke to one of the managers and they're getting rid off all the old boost mobile phones, I got mine for less than $30 they can even go lower If you buy in bulk, I thought about buying them(they had about 20) and reselling them on CL but didn't do it(not enough cash).
Anyway I completed the flash and now I am using my 4G Evo with boost, I am down to $25/month, I got the Pay as you go plan $.50/day unlimited web + $0.20/minute call. Works great for me since I don't use the phone to make calls, mostly text and web. Running ICS ROM of course with no 4G, I was paying about $93/month with Sprint.

Hmmm. Sometimes, what fixes it for me is to just reboot the phone.
Otherwise, sounds like something didn't flash over correctly. I always try and make sure that when flashing, I check the log and see that its successful / complete. If not, you'll end up with issues.
One issue I had was my phone number wasn't showing up when going to About Phone Status in Settings. It only showed the last four numbers. Reflashing worked fine for me.
And other thing. Did you follow the instructions about going the web on the gusto 2 first? I had to actually pick a website and try to open it.
Good luck!

You need to call verizon tell them your phone is not receiving text, and no data. Have them to reauthenicate the account and maybe you will get data then...... The problem with flashing to Verizon Prepaid is one wrong move and account gets locked out.........

You didn't write something correctly or missed a step. dial *228 on your phone. It may not let you dial the one or the two so just hang out and it will program your phone for you also then write the 53000 prl. I promise that if you follow the video exactly you will get 3g data unless you live somewhere that doesn't have 3g data.
I also want to touch on vipers comment about getting locked out of service. I'm constantly saying this but I'll say it again. I've been on verizon prepaid myself for over a year now. I'm currently on the 35 dollar plan. I haven't had any problems with them at all. I've also flashed several of my friends phones to VP and they haven't had any problems except for one guy every time he gets drunk the next day I have to rewrite his aaa and ha password (still can't figure that out) but no one has lost their account.
What do I think is happening to these accounts? Nothing I believe these individuals are people/businesses who get paid to flash phones and don't want the secrets out there and this is probably killing there business. People get concerned by problems and start to wonder about that. For instance a few years ago I was working for this small cell phone flashing company and flashing to boost started to kick off. Well we didn't have everything set up like this other company did so when someone came in we had this rumor going on that this guy who had his cell phone since they first came out, lost his number because boost found out and then he went to their shop and threw brick through their window.
Saying somthing like that to a customer we already had wasn't really targeted to him\her. But to any friends of theirs that questioned them about their service believe it or not but people like to talk. Especially about bricks being thrown through windows. I didn't stay long with that company but it's an example.

Wow, was that really necessary? Sounds to me like you totally dished on me and my comment, then judged me as one of these bad cellphone business owners as you called them.

I flash many phones, to all carriers including Verizon Prepaid, and I know for a fact that sometimes your account needs reauthenicated. No different from Page Plus resetting the esn......... No scare tactics here, I dont need to write passwords even to verizon prepaid, I can pull them ota with no problem......

I was I've through all of your posts (takes about ten minutes) and your xda repoire at first is to just ask a bunch of questions and then you started to sell yourself as a cell phone flasher. Then you found out how to pull aaa keys and refused to tell anyone and blamed it on cdma workshop not being free. You can still show the process and I'm calling you out on that and the fact your trying to scare people into not going to verizon prepaid. You may fool some people but you don't fool me.

Hmm.. I must have misunderstood the *228 thing in the video. But anyways. Now that I did *228 thing, I'm stuck with the roaming indicator. Does that matter? I plan on flashing another rom and hope it changes it. Also, how does doing *228 affect the phone? It was working fine earlier and I even clocked 3G speeds at 2.7mbps.
Thanks

You can call me out all you want, I have done several phones while members watched and seen the keys pulled in. I have not tried in no way to scare people from verizon prepaid. I flash to them myself, but you are dead wrong if you do not think that a account will need to be reathenicated sometimes. I have nothing to prove to you but only offered a suggestion to the guy having issues (now my comment was seen that way by you, I have no idea) . Anyways good luck to you in your venture as I am way above arguing this with you. No one is fooling anyone here but you..... I don't need to sell myself, proof is in the pudding bro.......

I know your gonna read this because curiousity will bring you back to see my rebuttal. It's how life works. I'm not saying that you can't pull the aaa keys what I'm saying is that you refuse to share the knowledge of how to do it. You made a thread to talk about it but really I believe that you made that thread to make a profit. There is free software to record your screen and there is also hacked software for camtasia there is no excuse not to share especially on xda.
You probably won't respond because you don't want to share this info and pretending like you didn't see this post is probably better than trying to come up with an excuse because there isn't one.

I reflashed the phone again slowly making sure I follow each step of the video and also did the *228 on the phone. After I disable Wifi, I still get "No network connection. No Signal found for mobile networks."
At first I had the LG2 modem and it keep on prompting for a sim card, so I updated it to LJ7. Still no 3G and I keep on getting the roaming message.
I do noticed however when I got to Settings, About device, Status:
Network = Sprint (shouldn't this be Verizon?)
Mobile network type: 1xRTT:6 (CDMA)
User name = [email protected] (shouldn't this be something like my telephone # @vzw.com?)
Mobile network state = disconnected (???)
IMEI =Old one from Sprint (shouldn't this be my Verizon Gusto 2 IMEI?)
Thanks guys for all your help.

I flashed the MOAR rom and kept LG2 modem. Did you download and flash rhe correft PRL? I also went out for a drive to make ure 3G would appear. I would recommend you do the same and see if it helps.

OK, let me try to use the MOAR rom instead. The LG2 modem keeps on asking for a sim card. Sprint is CDMA, so hence no sim card.
I'm using the LJ7_STOCK_WITH_COUNT_RESET16 rom and the pageplus_sprint_phones_only_no_roaming_indicator_53000.prl

Hmmm.. I never had a problem with the Sim request. From my understanding, you probably still have the Mobile Network set to LTE. That should be the only reason why it's looking for a Sim Card.
I also noticed a different PRL after activating on Verizon.
Good Luck!

Are you sure need to be on LG2? Everytime I flash that modem I get that symbol on the left (sim i think) and no data connection. Shouldn't LJ7 modem work?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 flashed to cricket all works but no internet

Hello I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 that I had flashed to cricket. My father had an old utstarcom phone with a clean esn so I flashed that esn to my s3 and called cricket and added a line to the account my father has with his kyocera phone. I chose the 45 dollar plan for my self and got the phone working as for as talk text and mms. I can not get any kind of internet connection except wifi. I have tried to go to update prl and profile but I get error code 407 or something like that. I followed the guide from cricketusers but cant get any help there. Can any one please point me in the right area to get internet on my s3 or tell me what I need to do, I have DFS Demo and cdma Workshop full version and qpst. Thanks anyone.

You're on the wrong rate plan. You have to be on a $50 a month or higher Android/Smartphone rate plan to get the web to work on your flashed device. You also have to make sure that the phone "Model" on your account is set to Kyocera M6000 for the best experience. Also, I would be careful with swapping the ESN from a different phone to your S3, as that is illegal and you can be fined for doing that.
I am a flash tech with Cricket in my town and I have the same phone flashed. You can follow this tutorial here: http://www.cricketusers.com/cdma-sa...galaxy-s3-cricket-talk-text-mms-internet.html It's pretty simple if you follow the instructions carefully, but I would try to change your plan first then pull the battery and restart the phone and see if maybe it'll start working. If the programming is right and you have MMS, then you should just have to change plans, but I could be wrong there.

I got everything working with the $45 plan also got the esn updated to the phone itself. I have talk, text, web, mms everything, Found the answer on another site.
Thanks.

Glad you got it working. Just curious, what are your web speeds? If you're not on an Android rate plan you're only getting 1x speeds, which is why I noted you were on the wrong one.
