Hey guys I got a EPIC 4g, and i got a few issues, I used CDMA WS to change the PPP/HDR id and pass. It wont let me change the HDR user/pass. So i was rooted the phone and retried it again. This time it worked, but only according to CDMA WS, because when i got into ##3282# Data Profile > Username it still has the sprint ID in there. Does anyone know how i can edit this?
I did try to edit it inside the phone, but it does not give me an option to commit the change.
thanks
and the reason i'm editing these items is because i am flashing this phone for cricket.
Please read the stickies, particularly the first one.
i did use the search function, i wasn't able to find anything about this.
I think he just meant because you posted this in the wrong forum.
o okay sorry, didn't realize it, i figured it would be in this forum because its not a general question, its a bit more techy with nv items and such. sorry
Use qpst to change service programming...

This entire forum is about technology, so it's all techy here (or at least it should be).

Moved to Q&A.
Now that this is in the right section... Try QPST. You could be able to change just about all of the basic CDMA parameters there, including the Sprint email address associated with it.
ALL credit goes to sbrissen for completing this task. Without him my bounty thread would probably still be up and unresolved. Be sure to show him thanks as well!
I've been waiting to see what Sprint was doing with WiMax first before releasing this but now we know there will be no more WiMax smartphones... although I'm still waiting to see if they sneak the Samsung Note in with WiMax.
As the WiMax enthusiasts already know... we can edit 99% of the same values as the OG Epic already using both ##DATA# > View > WiMAX and ##DEBUG# menus. Possibly the most useful edit is setting the Entry Rx levels from -89 to -110.. allowing those in low signal areas to still jump on 4G. The big edit that was missing on the E4GT was the ability to edit the WiMax MAC address. This is what I'm sharing today.
UPDATE
This can also be done on AOSP ICS without the need for the attached apk(still no ICS Touchwiz option). I've personally only done this with CM9 built by darchstar or sbrissen.. but it should work for others.
1. Use an app such as 'Any Cut' from the market to make shortcuts.
2. When scrolling through all of the available shortcut options you will see WIMAX_CFG and WimaxHiddenMenu. Make a shortcut to each.
3. Use WIMAX_CFG to set the Realm. Use WimaxHiddenMenu to set the MAC.
4. Hit the THANKS button because I'm jawsome.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Download the attached file and unzip
2. Replace unzipped file w/the file in /system/apps. make sure permissions are correct(Root Explorer makes this EZ)
3. Go to the dialer.. enter ##DEBUG# > WiMAX CT > Open Device.. Edit MAC and hit set. Done.
This will work on all Touchwiz based roms released up until this point(with unmodified dialers). I can not promise it will work on upcoming ICS Touchwiz builds and it will definitely NOT work on any current/future AOSP/MTD/Cyanogen builds!! If you do have a Touchwiz based rom but the dialer has been modified and does NOT allow ##DEBUG# to work.. use an app like AnyCut to make a shortcut to WiMAX CT instead. Again.. this will NOT work on non-touchwiz roms.

You're welcome. Dont forget to say thanks and/or donate.. I just made your E4GT on Sprint/Boost/Verizon/Cricket/Metro/Etc wayyy better until at least 2015. And try not to fill up the thread with BS questions like "what is this for".. or "how do I get my MSL"...
Good thing is worked congratulations!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Thanks for this. I'm sure this will help a lot of people.
To get your MSL download Terminal Emulator from the Market. You MUST be rooted.
Open it and type:
"su" (for super user access)(don't type the quotes)
then type "getprop ril.MSL"
(then enter to get you Device's MSL code, NO QUOTES)
I know even though you stated in the OP not to ask someone will.
Thanks very much.
Question: will a ##786# reset restore original values if needed?

I know who ever posts this question first is going to be flamed by other IVY League Graduate ( Acting) here...So I am taking the heat...what exactly does it do...

Not 100% sure but I believe it would remain untouched even after a ##786# reset.. just as the meid etc would remain untouched. resort to checking the label under your battery for original MAC
At the risk of being the first uneducated poster to ask the "what is this for" type question, I have to ask:
Will this do anything for me if Sprint has no 4G coverage in my area?

sprint/clear/comcast all share the same towers.. if you currently do not have coverage this will not help. Though I would not rely solely on their coverage maps. http://s4gru.spruz.com has detailed info in their forums on WiMax "Protection sites/Phantom sites" that list towers not listed by Clear/Sprint. Though if WiMax is NOWHERE near you.. this prob wont help... unless a local college or something is using WiMax.

I almost might could understand MSL, but why is asking what its for a BS question? You posted it in a general forum, but your response seems like you must be a techie to know what to do with this file you posted. Everybody is expected to know the the benefits of changing your mac address?

if you have working 4G already then you dont touch anything... this is for those on other carriers or non-working WiMax 4G.

because i said what its for.. its for editing your mac address. editing mac addresses is a touchy subject so that's all that will be discussed on the matter. and just because it's in the General Forums does not mean technical knowledge shouldn't be required.

um, whatever
but you replied in the other post "this is for those on other carriers or non-working WiMax 4G"
If you had simply included that in your original topic, could have avoided some replies
Tis all
Its like this, I have great 4g but I went to a farmers market there a company was showing off their WiMax for gaming. The MSL was on the side. Theoretically, you can Crick that Mac on here and use it. I was seriously wondering if there is a mini throttle between Clear and Sprint. Straight Clear seems faster. This is not legal to do I believe unless you own another WiMax device like portable hotspots...

already covered in the thread.. simply rewrite the old MAC thats on the label under your battery. there is no partition etc that requires backing up.. it's not like HTC devices.

if you have working sprint then you dont need to add anything. if you dont have working sprint 4g then you can add the mac address from your Clearwire modem.
Well I wanna change the eri banner on my Verizon nexus. The same eri.xml file that I dropped into /data on my evo, nexus, and sprint galaxy nexus does not work. Can anyone help me in changing the eri banner, please? I've tried root tools from the market to no avail.
I'd also like to access the hidden menus. I assume I need the dialer codes and a password, similar to the msl sprint uses. Can I use qpst with the Verizon nexus as well? Figure I need a code or password for that as well.
I appreciate any help/insight from y'all.
Thank you!

I made a video here on this
It's really simple
flash the modem L710VPLG2
Flash an Lj7 rom I used the peoples rom GS3.0
open up your dialer and type ##diag#
check off cdma modem and click qualcomm usb settings then check off DM+MODEM+ADB
open up dfs click your comport and open up efs file explorer and type in your spc
when it reads click nvm/num
drag and drop item number 85 to your desktop open it and change it to all zeroes
insert it back in and reset phone
when phone comes back on follow same steps and drag and drop nv items 0 and 1943 to your desktop
open them up with a hex editor and change them to all zeroes and insert them back onto the phone

thanks for posting this but i think in (these directions) they are not in correct order.
01 flash LJ7 and use 16 digit samsung password "01F2030F5F678FF9" in DFS
or
02 flash LG2 modem/radio (from what i have read when using this radio no 16 digit password is needed)
03 (DFS is only needed to enter the 16 digit password) and then after you do that you EXIT DFS and open QPST and then EFS Explorer
DFS can set esn and meid without using qpst but for item 85 i think it has to be done with efs explorer
thanks for posting this info though (you were on right track)

Download terminal emulator and run getprop without su. Just open dialer dial ##3282# select edit type 000000 let it fail then back out. Open terminal emulator and type: getprop ril.MSL and your MSL will pop up between the 2 command lines

sorry for resurrecting this thread, but what exactly will this accomplish? will it give my galaxy a new MEID so that i may get it added to the database and reuse it?, please explain..
what if i have an MEID that is already inserted in the database but the phone broken, can i use that MEID with this galaxy?

Yes to both but it has to be a known good imei....... I think I don't know what would happen if you made up an imei but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work.
Can someone tell me if there is a software program that can be used on Samsung phones that all you have to do is plug the phone in, connect the phone and click a button to save ALL data of the phone.
Not user lever stuff but service level data.
Like creating a complete profile of the phone.
Thank you,
John
Are you wanting a system image equivalent or just backing up user data and apps?
I think he means everything underneath tge hood. Like meid bootloader haa keys. Pretty much everything. Op I am unsure because I have never needed it. But please give details to what exactly you are looking for.

I am looking for an app that will do 2 things for me.
I am talking about carrier specific data only, I think.
Like, MEID, MIN, MDN, AAA and HA keys, SPC, server addresses and the like.
I have all the standard software, like DSF CDMAWS QPST, and the like.and I
know I can go in manually and get the data.
But I want a program that I can just plug the phone in and click something
like... "Copy Profile" and it will copy ALL the data that would be needed to
flash a phone back to the same carrier.
I am not talking about cloning. I would change all the main data, MIN, MDN,
AAA, HA, and the like.
I have tried to use programs like QPST to just simply make a backup of a phone
but I can never get it to restore. If I could that would be all I needed.
I could judt make a backup of say MY phone and when ready to flash someone
elses phone, just load it up, make the nesscessory changes and click write.
Wa-La, done.
And to have backups of my own data off my phones of course.
Sorry again about the confusion.
Thanks,
John
If you ever find the program please post the name. I have no need to flash my phone but would love to have a complete profile of my phone for safe keeping. Goodluck.
sent from my Provari with a mini rda!
Well... after thinking about my initial post, I realized I could have composed it better.
If someone knows of a CDMA service tool like, DFS, CDMAWS, QXDM, QPST or the like that would make a dependable backup (one where the restore actually works), that would be perfect, please let me know.
As long as it backed up EVERYTHING including the AAA and HA keys.
That would be awesome. That way, not only could I get a safety backup of my own phones but I could just load a profile on someone's phone, change appropriate data and wa-la, done.
Thanks,
John

What we probably need to do is just tweak CWM to include the additional partitions.
That would get all that you're looking for. You can also dd them via ADB and get what you need.
Thanks a ton for the kind reply and offer. That would be a good idea for CWM.
However, for me, I think I would rather have an installable Windows program.
And as far as the ADB method, would someone be kind enough to explain to
me exactly how that would be done?
Thanks alot guys/gals
