Try 45513 it works great for me. Sorry this post is late, I just joined. Change the extension on the end from .txt to .prl, then use a program such as CDMA Workshop to write it.

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.

Will this help?
Disable debugging on your device
Open your phone's dialer and type *#7284#"
Switch to "CP" or "Modem"
Plug in your device
taken from the prl change guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754551
I already tried that but it didn't work!

If you just wanna flash a PRL you can do it from your phone directly? Digiblur has a thread about how to do it, and he also has a flashable that enables flashing PRL's from MA4 and up (because it was taken out for some reason)
Yes I just want to flash Verizon's PRL into my Sprint GS3

You sure? I've flashed just the radio image in the past on an old HTC Evo. I think there are switches in the commands for adb if I'm not mistaken.
OP, are you having the problem where your data connection turns off if you go from 4G to 3G and back?

no sir i am not,but my speeds for data are really bad at times and i barely get a bar of signal in a real town where we have a verizon building,i just was hoping that maybe the new update had new radios or radio patches that could increase performance.

Are you unable to upgrade to the 4.3 OTA so far away from home?
