Try dialing ##3282# (you will need your SPC/ MSL code, which is unique to your phone)... OTHERS ... MMSC URL ... change the Sprint server listed in there to http://mm.myboostmobile.com
that would work but when i try that my setting will force close

I ODIN-flashed two versions of ICS (FC18 and FC24 - full wipe with restore to stock) and both times my 3G did not work. I could see the 3G icon and the green arrow sending, but the orange arrow never lit up, as if there was something wrong with the way I set up the DATA profiles. After going back to EL29 and restoring the DATA profiles one more time (using the exact same steps I used after installing ICS), my phone is running properly again.
To answer your question, I entered ##3282# and I was able to put the Boost server and saved the setting without any force close.
I also didn't like the fact that scrolling wasn't smooth in ICS as in 2.3.6...
When you updated your phone to ICS, did you do a full wipe to stock or did you keep your existing DATA profiles and settings ?

If you flash your phone from 2.3.6 to stock 4.0 (full factory restore through ODIN, not through CWM) you will lose your Boost Mobile DATA profiles ... in other words, you would have to re-flash to Boost all over again... I can't confirm this will happen to you as well, but this was the second time I tried ICS and I had identical results.
NOTE: if you'll do a factory restore through ODIN from EK02 to/from EL29 or to any other 2.3.6 ROM version, then your DATA profiles won't get erased. It seems that it only happens when you upgrade to ICS 4.0
To make matters worse, 3G didn't work in ICS... after re-flashing the phone to Boost with all the DATA profiles the icon appeared, but the DOWNLOAD arrow never lit-up. The internet just didn't work... I didn't spend too much time trying to figure out what was broken, so I just put back EL29, re-flashed to Boost one more time and the phone returned to normal.
I will probably spend more time with ICS when Sprint comes out with the official release. If the net is still broken at that point, then I'll put the time to find a solution...but until then ...

i searched and read every thread i could find to help resolve this issue but came up with no results. my evo was flashed to boost mobile and had the fresh rom, i later changed it to myn's warm two point two rls5 but now both my mms and 3g isnt working. i tried changing the server and everything but it still doesnt work. can anyone help?????
Are you able to flash back to the fresh rom and, if so, is MMS and 3G working? If it is working correctly with the fresh rom, it should work with RLS-5. When you initially flashed the fresh rom, what changes, if any, did you make to get it to work properly with Boost Mobile? Can you not apply the same methods with RLS-5? Did you do a full wipe/data reset prior to flashing RLS-5? I've never been with Boost Mobile so forgive me for my line of questioning.

it worked fine when i had fresh flashed on there and it worked for a while when i flashed warm 2.2 then suddenly it stopped working and so did my mms. i flashed da latest radio and still got no results. im now using warm z and still no 3g.

I think the reason your MMS/3G and other things aren't working is because you flashed a different radio. The radio you had previously was set to receive boost mobile's data and stuff.
You may want to see if you can revert back to the radio you originally had.
I flashed the radio, nv, and pri while on Boost and everything still worked. I think what happened is that your APN got overwritten when you flashed your ROM. Wipe your data and let it provision:
##3282#
edit
(enter your msl)
data
menu
restore
next time you flash a ROM backup your APN with apnmanager or apnbackup from the market.

provisioning didn't work?
thats because you earased your data settings even if you do a reset chances are you will not be authenticated in ##debug# menu in evdo at the bottom it will not say your authenticated you will get 1xxrt speeds after the ##786#rest and letting phone provision right after the reset but to get your 3g takes more steps than just provisioning.....
So my friend rooted his Evo with Unrevoked. I verified s-off.
He copied a PC36IMG onto his SD which turns out was some 2.1 rooted stock ROM. After doing that his phone could not make/receive calls/text or connect to 1x/3G/4G. Basically an expensive phone that has no phone functions. Everything else works (WiFi included). He flashed http://link.geekfor.me/rootedromzip onto his phone from http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...vo-install-clockwork-recovery.html#post165998.
When I looked at it, he still did not have a custom recovery so I flashed Amon RA PC36IMG. Full factory wiped data/cache/dvalik. Flashed Synergy RC1. Phone still could not make/receive calls and was getting Error 16 when trying to call. Called Sprint and they reprovisioned phone and fixed calls and texting. Noticed his phone is stuck on 1x and cannot connect to 3G when my phone next to his works fine. Did not test 4G yet since I have poor 4G coverage in my area. Cannot update his profile - just sits there like something is happening but it never completes.
What are his options here? Is it a bad radio or something that we can fix? Can we flash a stock rooted ROM and regain 3G? Remember, no nandroid was made unfortunately.
I would try flashing the latest radios just to be sure. And tell your friend to always make a nandroid backup to avoid this problem in the future.
Well his first time flashing. I think he mistakenly thought the PC36IMG as a custom recovery but it was actually an entire ROM.
Didn't have a chance to nandroid. I'm instructing him how to update newest radio combo and seeing what happens.
Update: Flashed latest combo radio. Updated profile and PRL. Still stuck on 1x even after reboot. Is he hosed? Does Sprint have to do something on their end to fix his EVDO? 4G isn't working either by the way.
Update 2: Wimax Keys Checker - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.wimaxkeys says that RSA Key is present. Relieved that he didn't lose his RSA key. Just can't figure for the life of me why he can't connect to 3G or 4G. Not sure where to go from here? Maybe trying to flashing latest stock rooted RUU? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110733
Bumping for some attention.
Hey, happened to me a couple of times, it will come back. Maybe wipe everything again, have you tried ##data# and entering msl key, wait... Have you updated his data profile in settings

Ok, was on the road when I had wife reply...lol.. When you rebooted the phone,did you wipe cache,and dalvik. Then try updating profile? It sounds weird,but has worked for me,without even updating profile. I have had no coverage before after flashing a Rom,also,did just that,and it came back. If rsa keys are present,that is good. If you would be kind enough to reply,whether fixed or not,would appreciate it,anyway,gonna move on...

Sent from my criffvo
Updating profile and PRL doesn't work. It keeps attempting to update but it is never successful.
I haven't had a chance to get his phone to just try reflashing a new ROM or stock ROM to see what will happen though.
He says using ##data# and entering his MSL code and changing EVDO to automatic doesn't work either.

I would start over again ... wipe completely with Calkulin's "fomat all" zip and flash a rooted stock rom like xhausx. Once the phone boots up, call Sprint and have them walk you through provisioning everything. Once all is well, then move into whatever custom stuff he wants.

You took the words from my mouth!
Is he Flashing the RUU's or just running them through the computer? Normally, you sync your phone or through hBoot and then start the program, try flashing stock Froyo and then factory reset once flashed, it helps clear out traces of old roms etc. If you need anymore help feel free to ask, I would be more than happy!
I don't think it worked.
Calkulin's Format, flashed Odexed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133379.
It showed 3G but I think it was misleading. Wiped and flashed to evodeck and it went back to showing 1x. My phone has 3G showing on evodeck next to his so he definitely has 3G coverage.
I guess it's just time to call Sprint for a re-provision? Does it have to be on a Sense ROM for them to reprovision?

you dont need Sprint to provision, just get your MSL code and do it your self plus I would do a search for people who may of had similar issues and see what they did. Now if that does not work then why dont you check what your network settings are.. See if its set to CDMA(Auto) I remember my Touch Pro I could of set it to 1x maybe something is getting stuck. I think its in ##3282 you check it and I also remember an app on the market called network that did it for you as well.
If that does not work then flash 3.70 radios and then a 3.70RUU and start from scratch.
He already tried ##data#. He can change his EVDO to automatic but it doesn't stay that way.
Alright I don't know how I fixed it but it's fixed.
Just cannot get 4G now. Wimax keys are present. It keeps scanning and cannot get connect. Previously could get 4G at these locations.
I am running EVO as donor/target phone, my is only 1x speed, no matter which rom I try
Synergery, Mik, Stock-Rooted, differ kernal, different PRL, check the data profile Automatic, Try restore but can not cat automatically update, still need to go qpst to update my profile. I have been working on this for two weeks. I went back to my orig phone, it show ev most of time, the speed is must faster than my evo. Searc all over from goole, still no luck, Anyone any idea to try

Hi everyone,
First my phone:
Xperia Arc
Unlocked Bootloader
Arc-Night kernel (latest release)
Arconium ICS (Latest release)
My Problem:
After flashing the new kernel and installing the new ROM everything worked fine, and on boot I was greeted with the usual SE setup app. I asked it to fetch the internet and mms setting and sure enough they were received and reported as being installed. I checked the APN screen and they are listed and are identical to the ones listed on my carriers website.
However, with WIFI turned off I cannot connected to playstore, internet etc and do not have any kind of data icon/symbol in the status bar.
I have tried:
disabling then enabling data via settings.
enabling then disabling airplane mode
restarting the phone
clearing all data/cache/dalvik then re installing rom
I have checked I have the correct baseband as per Devs recommendations
I have not tried:
yelling at it.
If someone can please suggest any possible solutions or even links to relevant materials.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Hope someone can help!
Haven't tried either the rom or kernel but try booting the stock ics kernel first, or doomlords ics kernel v4, then back to your current one.
OK, just tried as you suggested and installed doomkernel v4 then re-installed arcnight, no luck, still no data connectivity....and I lost wifi. haha.
To be honest, I'm not fussed what kernel/ROM i'm running i'm just exploring my options.
Can you recommend a kernal/rom combo that is known to fully work on the arc?
Flash it like this:
1. Flash DooMKernel
2. Go into recovery
3. Wipe cache + dalvik cache
4. Install Arconium ICS 1.1
5. Reboot and be happy
That's how I did it. I didn't wipe my data and settings...

And your 3g/2g data works fine? I will follow your instructions and get back to you.
I am also considering the apn details could be incorrect on the carriers website as I have experienced the same problem with a few roms now. Every time I follow the devs instructions to the letter and ensure to add any recommended modules and still no data connection. I really wish I had a different sim from another carrier to test this.
Yeah, works fine.
I upgraded directly from Arconium 8.1 with correct apns, so I didn't have to download them on ICS

Ok, now running:
Baseband 70
Stock Kernel with CWM (chose over doomkernel because of the included modules)
arconium ics
Once again all running perfectly excluding data connection. Considering the previous apn settings didn't work, I downloaded the new ones via the setup app and they reported as being installed.
still no data however.
Considering I just executed a complete re-install of everything possible (is there anything else i can flash and replace?) I'm thinking this may be a problem with my carrier/apn settings rather then the ROM/Kernel.
I really appreciate your help so far and if you (or anyone) can think of anything else I can try?
I'm going to start a new question thread regarding apn settings for my carrier (Crazy Johns/Vodafone) to ensure I'm using up to date and known working settings.

oK, i borrowed a sim card from my sister, who is on a completely different carrier and after setting it up....it had a 3g data connection! so the problem, logically, lies with my carrier and the apn settings.
So handy tip for anyone reading this in the future....if your having conectivity issues, check a different sim card in your phone!
Thanks for everyones help on this
Thanks for the info.
Hi Everyone,
My Phone:
Lt15i
Baseband 70
Stock kernel with CWM
Arconium ICS
My Problem:
After going to a custom rom and kernel from a complete stock setup I cannot get a data conection on my phone. All other features work perfectly (Call, sms, wifi etc) just no 3g/2g data connection, or icon in the status bar. the Settings menu indicates it is turned on.
I have exhausted all available options regarding kernel/rom troubleshooting including a complete reinstall on the above rom/kernel. I also experienced this problem with other roms and kernels.
During setup I follow the setup app and download the apn settings for Crazy Johns (my carrier) and they report as being installed.
My question:
If anyone who is using Crazy Johns currently and has it working could please post their apn settings (text or screen shot whatever is easier) so I can compare these to mine and change as necessary.
Any and all suggestions for fixing this are welcome.

Yeah, tried getting it sent to me, entering it in manually, even tried entering various variations of it I had found on the net. Still no connection.
Everything worked perfectly when it was stock, and when i first flashed a new rom onto the phone (arconium 8.2 i think) it worked then too. but every rom since it hasn't.
I'm still quite new to this and my knowledge isnt too deep yet.
Could flashing roms or kernels effect the serial numbers of my phone or something and now my carrier doesn't recognize my phone?
I do still receive calls and sms...
It's got me beat!

Well props to you, you were right in suggesting it was settings related. I tried a different sim card from a different carrier and after following the setup procedure I had a 3g data connection. This of course means the problem lies with my sim card/carrier settings and not the rom or kernel.
So my phone was @ EL29. I decided that when I was updating from CM9-alpha3 to CM9-alpha4 that I'd also go ahead and update my modem. I updated CM9, and it rebooted fine and was still working.
Went back and Odin'd the FE16 modem, and it rebooted. Once it booted up, I got a 'Activate your phone' page stating "A special call needs to be made to activate your phone service. After pressing 'Activate'... " but this doesn't work (The number or code you dialed is incorrect.)
From what I can tell, this is because ICS doesn't support the ## dialer codes? I did some searching, but couldn't come up with much. I found this post in the modem thread, which links to a "multiboot" ROM for the Epic 4G (not the Touch) that boots a stock ROM off the SD Card and doesn't affect the current running ROM, which lets you do things like Update PRL / Update Profile / etc.
Is there anything like that for the E4GT? Or am I going to have to wipe, go back to GB, re-activate/update profile/update prl on stock, wipe again and go back to CM9?
Another option is to program your phone through QPST, but you might find that to be just as troublesome as flashing back to stock.
A quick search pointed me to this thread for QPST. Doesn't seem too terribly difficult (except that I'm on a Linux box, might have to do some fun VirtualBox emulation to get it working on a Windows VM).
Technically I lied when I said I flashed the stuff using Odin... actually used heimdall, but it does the same thing.
What's funny is my data is working 3G/4G with no problem. If I try to place a call, it immediately hangs up. Trying ##72786# gives a recording that "Your phone is not yet activated. To activate, press end and call customer service"
Service is through ting (who uses Sprint's network)

i actually had something like this happen about a week or two ago. I used heimdall on my mac to flash a new modem while on an AOSP rom, and was told I had to activate the phone. I couldn't figure out anything to do except restore a TW backup and activate then restore back to my current AOSP setup. I never experienced having a modem flash de-activate the phone, but this was the only time i ever used heimdall, usually use Odin on windows.
Odin back to a stock ROM using a one click, Odin a stock modem of your choice and check clear phone efs, and boot up and allow it to reactivate.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
First I tried extracting the packages from the OdinOneClick to use heimdall to flash it back to stock. Ended up in a bootloop on the Spring 4G screen. Brought up a Win7 box and used the oneclick on Windows to get back to stock. Reactivated, reflashed the FE16 modem. Now back to CM9 I go.. oh well, all fixed
Thanks ya'll

Good going JLM!
Btw Revamper, I think any of the one-click flashes both the stock modem and kernel along with the rom so you don't necessarily have to flash a modem right away.

It does but you can't clear phone EFS. that clears all sprint data and forces your phone to activate again.

Edit; if you did a data preserve, your phone will act funny when coming from a ROM. You should do a FE16 full restore if you haven't already, it will reset all your phone settings to factory, but it's the best option when coming from a ROM.

If you're worried about modem speed, FE16 to me is the best modem since FC18.
