I am having some serious issues getting the Internet and MMS working on a Flashed EVO 4G. It is flashed to MetroPCS.
I have 2 Evos. One of them (mine) has Internet and MMS working great as per tutorial. The only thing I noticed was that when I got my Evo, the 1x sign would show, but the internet would not work.. After following JD's tutorial, everything works great.
On the other Evo (my girlfriend's) there is no 1x or any type of symbol. No internet whatsoever. I have followed every guide on here and it still does not work. I have followed the provisioning guide, and all other guides with no success. No matter what I do, or what I change, still no internet.
While following tutorials, I ran into these issues:
When I go to whiterabbit.org, and I enter the MEID, I get an MSL Code... but if I enter the 8 digit ESN shown in the top of the QPST window by MEID, I get a DIFFERENT MSL CODE? Is this normal?
Also, after clicking WRITE TO PHONE in QPST, I get an error that says NV Item Read Only...
I have also tried ##sctrn# and reset the data, and then redid the provisioning, but NOTHING.
When I go to settings, the mobile data box is checked, but then if I uncheck and recheck it, it will get stuck at "enabling"
So you can see from my above stated issues, that I really need help... Please help me out someone...
Sounds like the device is not provisioned correctly. I would recommended doing a ##scrtn and retriggering the provisioning.
As for espt I suggest a sense 1.0 rom
Flashing radios will not break the flash only flashing a different hboot would.

That is because ##scrtn is not editable.. Hit reset then enter your msl. After your phone reboots call the activation number (usually *228, yours may vary) or update profile under about phone.

If I reset and dial *228, won't I lose service? It is flashed to MetroPCS and I don't think they can provision it...

Im not sure how MetroPcs handles HFA, but with Cricket after a reset I can dial *228 or update profile and it reprograms the device.

Wait do I need autostart.sh and u2nl and all that?
Im sorry but this is now over my head. I know the basics about flashing to a different carrier.
My next suggestion is to contact the OP of a flash your evo to metropcs thread.

I've done that. My issue is that when I "provision" as per guide or as you said, it changes the settings but still the internet does not engage... no 1x or anything.
Just because I've had a stubborn phone or two in my day. Try flashing hBoot twice. Back to back. Also try new copies of your files. And verify checksums if possible too. Sounds like you may have a slight corruption or a mis-written byte somewhere. Just my two cents.

Okay.. I edited the OP with a better explanation of my issues.
does anyone know of a way to push a prl to the phone without using qpst or CDMA workshop? I know on the older phones you could do it through epst but the code has been taken out of our current epst. tia

I am pretty sure the above mentioned ways are the only means to flash PRLs at this time. It would be nice if it could be done directly through the device though.

Does anyone know how to put the G Nexus Jelly Bean in Diagnostic Mode, like for flashing it for another carrier, you know, QPST, and all that stuff.
I really need it, like 2 weeks ago i bought a GN and its f*cking awesome, just flashed Jelly Bean, and i cant get it into DIAG Mode.
By the way, ,the following doesnt work:

Have you tried the default Android testing menu?
*#*#4636#*#*
*#*#INFO#*#*
Ok, I flashed the Cyanogenmod 9.0 and the *#*#DIAG#*#* actually worked, i get into the menu that let me select between PDA and CDMA MODEM conection.
BUT!! It kinda doesnt connect like a Samsung Modem or anything like that, it shows me two new devices in the Device manager:
1) In the modems it shows a "VIA Telecom USB Modem"
2) In the Other devices shows "INTF2"
And when I try to connect it to DFS or QPST it doesnt work.
Im shure i need some drivers or something, but i dont know which ones.
Any clue?

Oi, hit thanks instead of reply. O well.
I doubt you'll be able to 'flash' the phone for any other carriers through any menu available through the device itself, if that's what you're intending to do.

Well Its just matter of changing the MSL and the PRL and modifiying the Data parameters and sh*t like that.
And Ive done that like a thousand times with several HTC's Samsungs and Motorolas(Thats actually my second job, seriouslly, i get paid for doing this), I just need to connect it in diag mode and have the drivers.
Which is beeing really hard to do right now
Obviously using my laptop to change the parameters
Same problem
I have been struggling with the same problem for 2 weeks. Have any one found an answer. Can use 'better cut' to write prl, however can use qpst to make internet work.

Uhh, Well I found an answer, but its not a solution yet.
Check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696621
It explains why we can't use QPST...
Well it actually doesnt dierctly explain, but we have VIA Chpisets on our phones, instead of the common Qualcomm Chipset, who owns QPST.
But it also give some instructions about a program for VIA chipsets, ETS i think.
I was also reading in a Droid Charge thread (also VIA chipset) that there is a programm named VPST and VPCT or something like that, its like the "QPST" of the "VIA telecom" chipsets.
I'll try it tonight.
Is your gnex Sprint or Verizon?
Have you tested? Did you get it working? I tried but 'getprop' not showing my MSL code.

I've just made the MSL change to 000000, and switched the PRL to my carrier, but just that. I havent had time to work on anything else.

If its Verizon your MSL is already 000000, if its Sprint you can get the MSL code with a script made by Viperboy

Dont know man, I dont have the Nexus anymore, but for the PRL updating theres an app that makes shortcuts, I cant remember the name right now, i think it something like bettercut or something like that.
You can also flash an ICS rom and update the PRL like you would normally do.
Hope i helped
I need to get into DIAG mode to connect QPST, but ##DIAG# doesn't work (even on the stock rom)
Does anyone know how to do this? I have a VM MarvelC and I'm trying to flash it to Page Plus.

Figured out that it's ##PORT# that opens up the DIAG for our phones...
Another question, however.
I manually changed the PRL and now I have no service at all. (Roaming or otherwise)
Just the bars with a big white X over them.
Phone won't dial out to update prl.
Did I screw up the radio somehow? Any idea on how to remedy the situation?

Well I'm trying to flash it to Page Plus, so I tried 00002 (Verizon Wireless) and I think 53000 (Page Plus) and then one from the kittwireless.com site called pageplus.prl (I don't know the number)...
I tried flashing an RUU to go back to stock settings and 3-vibe bricked my phone. lol Oops.
Been searching over the Internet but couldn't find a way.
Here is the deal. Bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 some months ago, I live outside USA, was working for the Only CDMA company in my country, a partner flashed the Phone with our company PRL. Leaved the company, the company will leave CDMA altogether, want to sell the phone outside my country. Tried to activate and get the PRL from the network but is not posible.
Downloaded the PRL file, tried with the TEST.prl trick but there's not write PRL option, later tried any cut and the shortcut says that PRL Write is not installed. With a VPN connection I get the sprint setup for hand free/automatic activation which would let me download the PRL but of course I'm not an SPRINT customer.
So can someone please help me flash the phone with an Sprint PRL so can be sell on swappa?
Regards

Take the prl and rename it as TEST and place in root of not sure if it was sd card or internal memory. try one and if it doesnt work try the other. then dial ##3282#, tap on view then tap on prl write and bam....new prl..... or other option is to root the phone and get msl reader from market and use cdma dfs tool to write prl.

I had problems with it too took a couple times but turn off the mobile networks and Wifi and try it a couple times the turning off the data before hand worked for me
It can't get easier using DFS. Plug in your SPC, go to the NAM tab, load the PRL file, write it, reboot the phone. Win.

sorry been busy. If it does not show the write prl tap then you need to root the phone and install the prl write unhide zip for whatever modem your using
