[Q] Second Dinc 2, Second Root Attempt

So last night I attempted to root my first Dinc 2. I followed the tutorial exactly using revolutionary to S-Off and the SU zip to root. Everything went smooth except I lost 3G signal. I then flashed several roms (CM7, virtuous, MIUI) and they all worked fine except still no 3g. I then tried a list of about 8 different radios incuding the newest 1.09.01.0622, still nothing.
At that point I decided to call verizon. They then informed me that my MEID was put on the lost/stolen list (crazy i kno), and that they could not help to activate it. They suggested I call amazon to get a new phone, which I did and it will be here tomorrow.
Naturally I still want to root but this issue is extremely frustrating and I want to make sure it doesnt happen a second time. So... does anyone have any suggestions for avoiding radio problems during the root?
Any help is appreciated... thanks!

Flashing a rom or rooting will not put your meid in the lost/stolen list. You confusing your radio issue with this. If your meid is on that list u cant ever get it activated ever.... No matter what. So basically u got bad phone from them. This is not a radio issue

I agree with you, 100%. The funny thing is that when i first got the phone yesterday morning I activated it and had 3g up and running just fine. It wasn't until I rooted and started flashing roms/radios that the 3g disappeared and I eventually had to call verizon.
I'm guessing the bad meid was a result of changing the radio so many times. So my primary concern is losing the 3G radio again when I go to root the new phone.

If I'm not mistaken someone has to report a phone lost or stolen in order for the MEID to be blocked by verizon. However it could have been someone doing just this and fat fingered the number.
Changing radio's multiple times or doing anything with root will not cause your meid to be blocked. Sounds like it was a mistake on the part of Verizon, in which case they owe you a phone right then and there.
Luckily Amazon is a great company and they made it right for you.

True, amazons support is amazing. I agree it must've been an error on verizons part but I also was thinking that I mightve rooted to quickly. I literally activated the phone and rooted like 2 mins later and my old phones service hadn't switched off yet. Idk, either way I'm waiting a day or 2 on the next one.

Rooting is like installing another version of windows on your pc. Its irrelivent from what verizon does. It just runs the phones hardware. I rooted all my phones like 10 mins afer i got em. Verizon cant see you have root remotly atm.. and they really dont care unless your sucking bandwidth with free pc tether. So rest assured u can root asap ur new phone.

Good call man I just rooted phone #2 and everything's working great. Off to grab some roms. Thanks guys.

**** spoke too soon maybe? getting superuser force close when I try to flash clockwork recovery in rom manager. Tried to reset the phone, and reinstall rom manager but its still SU still isnt granting permissions. any ideas?
EDIT - NVM got permissions working just reinstalled SU

How in Gods name did you just get a dinc2 that didn't have 2.3.3? Just got mine today from VZ and the OTA got pushed to my phone before I even got of the store. Now I'm stock without Root. meh.

Guys I would just purchase an XTC clip. I'm sure raskal is going to continue supporting new devices even though HTC is going to unlock them eventually. The thing with that though is that they do it wayyy too late, and you have to submit a bunch of info an void warranties. no thanks that's like christmas morning theres a bunch of presents under the tree but you can't open them until new years, maybe february.

All of the dinc 2's shipped by amazon right now have 2.2

Epic 4g touch 4sale (bad esn)

xda my sister got scammed on craigslist!! some crook got her to buy a basically new epic touch 4g that had been reported lost. she failed to check the esn beforehand. I was hoping to sell it on here for her, to one of the devs so they can have a dummy phone to test things out on. I already rooted it and tried out the starburst rom on it. phone works great, comes with everything in the box. any suggestions on what i could do with the phone if it doesn't sell? besides using it as a wonderfully light paper weight...

Not sure how but I think you can try to get boost or some other carrier to work with it if shes not stuck in a contract.

The guy at flashedphones.com told me 2 weeks ago that he was looking for and epic 4g touch to play with to flash to boost mobile. He said he would do it for free, just for the experience. That offer might still be good. If he gets it working i bet the phone would go for 500 on ebay. ITs not easy to flash it to boost and get 3g data working right, but if anyone can figure it out, its the dudes over at flashed phones.

[Q] metro pcs evo 4g question

had my evo flashed by a local metro dealer(full flash). He put the metro edition CM7 on the phone. However im trying to force one of metros new prl in order to get 3g. So on to the question since my ports wont show up on cm7 if i make a nand backup of my settings now switch to a sense rom so i can get the ports to show up for qpst force the prl then restore my backup will i have to run any scripts or willl i be right back where i was but with the new prl?

Did you try to re-designate your port.. meaning veiw the list of ports that's listed under "ports" in computer management, right click on the listed device, and go to properties, then advanced settings in the ports tab [I think its called that] and res designating it to com1 or one that's not in use.. and when you were in "qpst setup" did you click that little box that only allows you tto view certain ports? [I forgot the name mybad] that happened to me when I had to set up the ports.. give me the rundown on what you did and Ill try my best to help you out.. not many people here know how to use qpst.
Sent from my Random, old but still kickin, Epic 4g

I think he is asking if the prl changes when you nand-restore. Simple answer no, that really the most common way AOSP users change them out.
I am one of the many unfamiliar with qpst so I am not sure about this method 100%.

I ended up just flashing the sense rom so I could get the drivers to install properly. I was mainly concerned that if I switched roms it would make me lose web and mms. I was enable to switch and force the prl. And restore my backup without losing anything. To my surprise everything workwd when I was on the sense rom without running any web scripts or metrooff. I'm new to the device so was concerned but once someone else agreed I could do it I went ahead. Thanks for checking my thread though

Yea. It took me a while to fine someone that did a full flash. I had to go to the hood.lol. I was gonna do the Houdini at the store by me but they wanted more than the other place for the full flash. I just wish we could add esn's to the data base on our own then we could just do it all ourselves.

haha.. I'm with you on that one, that'd be awesome.

In thier defense though they probably make it like that so they can try to limi the number of people useing devices with bad esn's. So its probably a discretionary thing for the stores if they want to do. And im sure in some cases the people just might not know how to. But if metro would just step up the quality of the devices people wouldnt have to flash from oter carriers. However the esteem is pretty sweet we just gotta wait for metro to make some money so they can lower the prices of their 4g handsets.

so true.. their devices are pretty damn expensive, and not really worth the money if you ask me.. personally i'd pick boost over metro because it seems so much easier to go from an incognito to an evo 4g or epic 4g than its is to do it from metro.. and the service in my area is awesome .. but hey you cant beat the pretty damn low price of a no contract provider

Yea I almost made the switch to boost when I bought this evo. But they wanted 130 to flash and had to wait a month for some reason till my number could be in it. I wanted it for 3g but whenever I'm really using my phone app wise or browser I'm on wifi anyway. I still might do it down the road only time will.

HTC EVO , sprint to boost misht want to check this!

So it might be a bit premature to celebrate but I believe ive found a much a simpler way to get your evo ( or any other CDMA phone) on boost. *this worked for me and would like to know if anyone else could try this to confirm it works as im out of phones.
what you need: Boost Donor phone. (not activated, new or Used)
htc evo, droid etc etc with alterations already performed( cant discuss what I mean by this but search google)
step 1) and this is the only step!!!! instead of activating your donor phone and getting NAM and nv files and aaa , keys and all that other garbage, just activate your EVO. once you activate it the keys and all other info is automatically sent to the evo upon hands free activation.
Thats it!
My guess is when new account is made keys etc are generated from meid and sent 1 time and 1 time only. as-long as its a "boost" phone it will automatically update all files.
again this has worked for me on my fiances phone and took about 10 mins once alterations were made to her evo.
Would others please try this to confirm it wasnt a fluke.

I did a similar method. I didn't have too much money to spend on this whole process (I'm a college student). So what I did was I found a site that did the flashing remotely but they charged like $65 and I wasn't going to pay that much. But they also sold meids from boost incognito's separately for 10bucks. So I bought one and they emailed it to me within a few minutes along with a guide to get the evo to do an ota update for calls text and data. Basically, after getting the meids switched, the phone did an ota update and I've got everything working great. Only thing I did differently from you is that I activated the donor on boost's site before the whole process.

I had a TP2 on Boost for quite a while. Used it for my donor phone and all was well. But after a few probs with error 16 Sprint made me well aware my HTC device was not a Boost device. Well I got a clean Incog activated on the same account the Incog is a dead phone, I activated the EVO. Only prob so far I can't get data. Voice and text work but a constant error 67 is all I get without being able to get the NV items and Nams I think the idea is dead because the EVO will not update the profile. I'd be interested in what the word is on forcing an OTA update.

Well thanks for the info. I will try it one day, but not now. I found out the Incog was OK just bad battery. New battery arrived this morning and I was able to get all needed items from the Incog. I do think the OPs procedure will work though.

[Q] Ting and data issues

So I wanted to pay less money than the crazy money I was wasting with VZW so I researched other carriers. I picked Ting since they seemed to offer the most bang for the buck. I ordered an LG OG on ebay and got it hooked up. After I completed activation I let it sit and wait for the data signal. It never came. I've tried every reset available to try to get this thing running. APNs don't do anything. Resets don't do anything. I tried different roms and made it worse. Now I'm back to stock and still dead in the water. I can't run hands free activation whether I'm on WiFi or not. I get error 67 when I turn my data back on. My prl, profile, and firmware all report back authentication errors.
I've exhausted my knowledge at this point and now turn to you fine folks. Anyone else had any luck getting things like this to work?

sounds like someone sold you a **** phone. I wonder if its an international version flashed to be sprint. i would go through the lgnpst process then see if you can update prl and profile. you cant really run the automatic activation thing. also try the irc some of the guys on there could help too.
