[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..

##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.

this will still work on your phone. contact boost to get your msl. or use CDMA workshop. there is a thread in the dev section on using CDMA workshop.

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.

Sorry you took offense, but you are in WAY over your head. If you want help from a developer, you need to SEARCH FIRST.
WWW.GOOGLE.COM
Since I'm such a nice guy, I searched for you...30 seconds later I learned how to port my EVO to Boost Mobile.

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.

did u fix the problem?

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

[Q] suggestion

i want some suggestion, i have flash my sprint 4g to boost. infortunately 3g is not working . idk what am doing wrong. any help will be appreciate . also a donation will be make

U need the NV items copied over from your donor phone. NV items 465, 466, 1192, 1194. Try that. Here's a link to very good info that I found: http://bittertalk.com/talk/?p=547

i already done that , the weird thing that i found was, with my donor phone which was samsung rant , NAM2 WAS BLANKSO IDK IF that have something to do because i have use the incognito on another phone before and its display information on both NAM1 AND NAM2.

Mine is also a Rant and everything works except that my speeds are 1X and not true 3 g. Also, I can't get the profile or prl to update in the settings > update. I keep getting error 67. From reading numerous sites and forums, I think the Incognito is the best donor to use. There doesn't seem to be any 3g problems listed for those donors.

HOW DO YOU GOT THE INTERNET TO WORK DUDE . . let me know .

I've don't many diff things, but if you plug in all the passkeys, etc., you should be able to master reset it. ##786#, menu, reset. Once it reboots, it should activate, provision itself. I have to update prls in qpst or cdma wksp. Can't get it to work on the phone.

Great news! I just redid my entire flash today line by line based on this guide posted in post #1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182260 . I skipped over the sections for repairing the meid (since I've already done this), but completed the rest exactly. I also used the profile info from the instructions(pictures) and just changed over my NAI, HA, AAA passwords. For NAM 2, it wouldn't write it since everything was blanks, so I filled in all spaces with 0's, disable the PRL, and I was able to write the NAM2.
Rebooted and 3G is working now! no stalling or dropping and my speeds have gone from around 130kbps DL to 500kpbs. It's still not the best speeds but much better. I was also able to update the profile and prl in the settings > update section.

[Q] Data profile update errors and extreme slow speeds - Help please

When I try to update my data profile (because of VERY slow 3G speeds on my E4GT converted to Boost) I get "The profile update could not be completed. Error: Unknown error". Sometimes, I also get the Error 67, that my Sprint data username and password are incorrect. The E4GT is on a stock GB ROM.
The 3G symbol and arrows take several seconds to appear after I take the phone out of airplane mode, sometimes requiring a restart, and even then, once they appear, they sometimes stay greyed out even though apps are asking for data. When the arrows do go green and orange to indicate active data transfer, it's VERY slow, almost 1x like.
Also, sometimes, far far more often than my Galaxy S1, the signal bars will drop from very good signal (full or almost full) to half or to almost none, then come back up.
'
In testing my 3G connection speed with the Ookla Speedtest.net app right now, my first test got a 962ms ping, a download of 121kbps, and an upload of 152kbps. Two further tests resulted on "network communication issues) with the 3G icon's arrows being greyed out. It was on the Witchita, KS server. I could not get it on the San Francisco server that my Galaxy S1 tested on, as the listbox to choose the server would not scroll to server more than about 1,000 KM away.
For reference, in the same spot, my Sprint/Samsung Galaxy S1 (on Boost, with the same account that's now on the E4GT - Neither is on the network at the same time as the other) scores thus: 126ms ping, a download of 470kbps, and an upload of 797kbps. It was on a local (to me, as in, in my city) server, San Francisco.
Help!

Not saying I know anything about being on Boost but found a couple of XDA threads that talk about Profile/Prl updating on Boost and tweaks for speeds on 3g/4g and wifi.
I'm sure there's a better/quicker answer from the Boost folks here but this might help get you started if you haven't seen them.
Also, saw some outside threads on the same issue you had via Google.
If you've seen these, sorry, just was looking into it.

Thanks. I saw the first thread you linked (In fact, that's how I got my OG Epic onto Boost) and did use it (and others) to get my S2 onto Boost. But where in there do you see talk of resetting the radio?
As far as the second thread, I haven't done those tweaks on my OG S1, and it gets MUCH faster data than this S2, so it must be something else.

Sorry, check the link again. I had posted the wrong link originally. Hang on, I'll copy it over to here in case I linked it wrong.

I fixed the problem. Here's what I did, just in case someone else's phone experiences the same symptoms.
-from the dialer, type ##3282# ...
-click EDIT and type your MSL code
-select EVDO from the menu
-I waited about 3 seconds while the signal bars and the 3G icons disappeared ... then I waited another couple of seconds for the icons to re-appear
-then I pressed the back button until I was back in the Home screen
NOTE: I didn't change any settings during this procedure, the 3G restored itself just by entering and exiting this menu
It looks like the radio resets during this procedure and everything restores back to normal. It's interesting that updating the Profile and the PRL did not help, even though the radio resets itself after performing said updates.

I tried the radio reset procedure you quoted, but it had no effect. Here's a video (4m, 14s) showing me trying the reset procedure and a speed test afterward, as well as my profile update difficulties.
Take a look. My apologies for the focus issues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MMh4gD7sGA

Have you manually set prl or tweaked anything on any settings?
And is this new or always after you changed it to boost?

I have not set a PRL. The only thing I tweaked was to remove the Sprint proxy in ##3282, though this did not help my speeds. When I bought the phone it had a bad ESN, so I never activated it on Sprint, only on Boost.

Only thing i would think to try is flashing a one click, since I've seen others on boost that says it doesn't change keys etc, and seeing of that helps.
Wish i had more experience with boost to be of any help.

I tried a one click back to EL29 (Gingerbread) last night since I read that I must be on a GB ROM to install CWM and proceed from there. No change in speeds, still have the error 67 registration failure.

Further, I rolled my OG Epic 4G back to stock so that I could get at the dialer codes and get it recognized in QPST, read its settings and saved them to a file, then opened up my E4GT in a window beside it. I then duped all the M.IP and PPP Config settings. I also checked the NAM settings to make sure they agreed.
No luck, I'm still having the same issues, while my OG Epic 4G is not.

PRL 2000 ?

My prl,,firmware,profile wont update neiher.. It states that the Error code 6204 ..im calling Sprint to see if anything could be done.

advice
Hey you may want to edit the first pic shows way too much info ......phone number meid etc .....

PRL 2000 is an emergency prl I dont know the specific details but in the sprint prl update thread its been happening to alot of people what you can do is manually update your prl to say 25013/15 or 55015 or something like that or try the modded verizon prls they're doing great for me

I had the same error even after going back to stock. Sprint rep said that they have no record of that error and didn't know how to handle it. He reset the phone with ## commands (sorry don't remember) then the phone wouldn't activate. Took back to best buy and the Samsung rep flashed something, no help. I have a replacement now. I hope you have better luck.

I can help you out because I was going through the same problem.
Here's the thread to the list of all PRLs (don't worry about it being in the S3 section, they are the same for the Note II): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880781
Also, if you run accross the issue of not seeing the "PRL write" in the ##DATA# menu, you need to go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159054 and flash the MA4 zip. I'm running MC2, and it worked for me. Also, there's some tricks to get the prls to stick when you write them. First, name the PRL "TEST.prl" (all caps). Second, turn your data off before doing the prl write.
This is my first post, so give me a thanks if I did any good
My setup:
Sprint Note II LPH-L900
Rooted stock ROM (MC2)
Kernel: Perseus-alpha36
PRL: 55015 (I'm still looking looking around, though)
My final note: I <3 Xposed Framework
Disclaimer: I don't have a clue what I'm talking about. I can't program or read code. I just look up stuff on Google. If this bricks your phone, don't blame me. Make a backup!

Lol I didn't realize Chris already posted the PRLs thread. I figure why not throw in some screenshots of the dialer steps and menu You should see. I also wanted to show off the theme I came up with.

I get that a lot when they're working on our towers. Only fix is to wait and keep trying. Sometimes it can last a bit but sometimes it can go on for days. A work around I found was to switch from LTE mode to CDMA and let it reprovision on evdo. On evdo the chances of programming are better. It's weird but it works for me most of the time when ehrpd keeps giving me that error. Also I would like to point out that you're roaming and its just a hunch but maybe you can't update while roaming as you're on Verizon's network and not Sprint's which I think is required to pull ur info from.

Its cool you helped more than I did but if thats true about having issues with updating then that happened to me about twice so far meaning about them working on the tower

Yea I learned that the hard way.. If you get that error while trying to update your profile or prl a handsfree activation is the worst thing you could do. Was stuck with a non working phone with a phone number of 0000003410 or something like that. The reason why I assume it's tower work related is because the problem is on ehrpd only. Once I switch to CDMA mode the process gets completed whether I'm on evdo or 1xrtt. In OP's case though I think it's roaming related.

I had sprint change my username & I had to reset phone by ##72786# once the phone rebooted i let it run the Hands Free Activation and it worked..

I could swear, like others, that I'm having better results with 55015 than 2000. Time will tell still, but previously i was seeing no network connection far too often, signal bars but no 3G or 4G. Have had constant connection so far since switching to 55015 lat night, and i hope it continues, and i hope i dont have any call/text issues due to 800 mhz band or whatever.
Was such a shame to have such a nice phone with such crappy service!

Data is really weird for me right now... (a month ago it was fine) I'm constantly flashing new roms
I go between the pacman, liquidsmooth and cm remix
I actually thought it was a radio/prl/ programming issue but now think that it is a rom issue
My house gets horrible data about .4 megs (enough for streaming spotify)
My work gets awesome data about 2.2 megs
I'm about to flash the newest cm remix (because cm remix has been the most reliable when it comes to data
It is hard to believe that there are only two pp customers on this board

Actually I am on RingPlus so I guess that the stuff I do to fix my data issues after flashing a ROM will work on any Sprint network- based company.
Can you try flashing the latest Sprint radios? This link contains all the radios: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/sprint-develop/sprint-radio-collection-t2195481
I recommend flashing the radio GA02, report back with results please.

I've got a toroplus on Page Plus, and unfortunately the 'Update PRL and Profile' trick is no good for us. Page Plus uses Verizon's network, not Sprint's, so our phones have to be manually flashed using ETS and PRLs can be updated using a neat little app called CDMATools. (It's on the forum here somewhere, needs to be a system app) I'm thinking that 'Update Profile' is similar to *228 OTA programming on Verizon's network. That of course doesn't work either for us. The nearest equivalent involves setting up a donor phone, running *228 on that, then pulling the authentication keys from that and writing them to the Toroplus - not exactly something you want to do every day or two to get data working again. .
Do you have your 'preferred network type' set to 3G? May not help, but it's a thought. There are also some more involved network mode settings exposed in the CDMATools app., may be worth poking around in there. It sounds like you're getting good 3G speeds at work, not sure why it would be so slow at home.

Oh I see, I thought PP runs on Sprint network.
Also you mentioned that he need "CDMATools" right? Well installing VanirAOSP (A KK 4.4.2 ROM) will give you CDMATools as a system app if you cant manage to get the app by itself.

**EDIT** To start, I'd like to say that once you've configured your phone properly you can flash whichever ROM you'd like with no problem. I flash mine all of the time, it's great.
PRL stands for Preferred Roaming List. It's a bit of firmware(?) used to program the phone and tell it which cell towers to use. So far as I know, the newer the better.
The profile is the data profile. When you update this, it fine tunes the data settings and includes the information your phone needs to communicate with the network to negotiate your Internet/MMS access.
If you're on a Sprint-based provider, you'd normally be able to provide the information to the best of your ability (following a trustworthy guide) and then connect to wi-fi to have the final configuration updated. This is what I did, I had no data access until I did this part.
But... since you're on PagePlus(which is Verizon-based) I don't know how simple or difficult this is. It may be as simple as flashing a PagePlus PRL and a Verizon radio. It may be more complicated. There are guides like this one available that should be of some help. Just remember to follow the direction to the letter, a single screw up can result in you not having data or cell service, and even worse you may end up on the phone having to lie to PagePlus.

thanks so much for all of your responses
to be clear, Profiles are not for verizon based /PP users, correct????
Yeah I kind of figured out that Data was independent of rom after about a 2 day freak out session. I have activated data and mms through the long process which involved a donor phone etc.. hence the freak out session (about the thought of doing all over again)
That being said I think some of the newer roms are messing with the data somehow... maybe its the switching between wifi and data... I don't know but I'm on the newest cm remix which I like for a lot of reasons and get data
btw I have it set up on my phone (to save battery) that when my wifi is on my data is off and vice versa does anyone think that the constant switchin on and off is causing problems???

Also you mentioned that he need "CDMATools" right? Well installing VanirAOSP (A KK 4.4.2 ROM) will give you CDMATools as a system app if you cant manage to get the app by itself.

You can grab the .apk from a ROM like Vanir and push it to /system/app/, or use a flashable .zip like this one here:

For bonus points, add CDMATools.apk to the list in /system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh and it will stay through flashing ROM upgrades, just like your gapps.

PRL stands for Preferred Roaming List. It's a bit of firmware(?) used to program the phone and tell it which cell towers to use. So far as I know, the newer the better.

Not firmware, just a list of towers and networks - but you've got the idea. Here's a fairly recent PRL modified for a Sprint phone on PP, works well for me:

But... since you're on PagePlus(which is Verizon-based) I don't know how simple or difficult this is. It may be as simple as flashing a PagePlus PRL and a Verizon radio.

Not Verizon radios, you need the Sprint one. Much more programmable. In fact, the only way to reprovision a Verizon GNex is to flash a modified Sprint CDMA radio. A Page Plus / Verizon prepaid PRL is needed though - that and the authentication keys which must be pulled from a donor phone.

Correct. Mine tries to update its profile every time I reboot, maybe because I don't have the shared secrets for 3g data? The profile update always fails, says "can't connect to server." I say "OK" and move on. My 1x data works fine (if you're familiar with PP plans, I'm on the 12, so 3g would just let me chew through my 10Mb/mo. data a bit faster.)

Thanks so much for this... right now I can get data but it takes a little longer to get working than I'm used to. sometimes I cant get data and about a few weeks back (at about the time my data problems began I did do #228 sel2 which I think updated my prl to 53401 (I didn't check it before hand. I'm flashing the prl you posted I'll report back soon
oh and I'm noticing horrible battery life on my cmremix but that would make sense because it is searching extra hard for towers ... right???
Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I downloaded vanir, changed the prl, backed up cdmatools so I could use it with any rom if need be and am flashing preferred rom now
will report back soon
says I'm on sprint... cool
the 3g icon works quickly and consistently
but there are two problems
one is that it is showing a '?' with a small version of the four bars
asking me to sign into the network
and speedtest is showing me network communication issues
I think its a 4g thing

I really think that is it... It is trying to get 4g and for the life of me I can't figure out how to tell it to stay away from 4g and just stick to 3g

Settings/Mobile Network Settings/Preferred Network Type/3G. At least that's where it's at in CM. Or, in CDMATools, Data Menu/Advanced/LTE off.

Wait...*228 worked for you? I thought that was a no-go for us? But if it updated your PRL it must have at least sort of worked. I always thought I was never supposed to do a *228 as that would mess things up.

Yeah it worked and screwed things up!!! I think that is where I went wrong I did the *228 and got a new prl that didn't work well
But thanks to this thread I think I'm good again... I think I'm on the newest Pacman and so far so good but when I reboot it takes a while to normalize
