I'm attempting to sell my Epic 4G. Sprint says the ESN is clean, and was able to activate the phone on buyers account.
Voice works, 3G icon comes in, but data not working. HFA didn't work. They manually configured Phone#/MSID, etc. No data.
We thought it was the ROM (FC09-based, IIRC), so I flashed back to fully stock EL30. Same result.
Sprint store rolled it back to EB13, tried provisiong again. No change. I ended up giving buyer their money back after 2 hours at the Sprint store.
Back at home, I did a ##786# reset and a ##72786# reset.
Digging in with QPST, I noticed that even after all the resets my Sprint username (myaccountXX@sprintpcs.com) is still showing under PPP Config / Um / User ID. Would that be the problem? Should I blank it out?
This phone's HA / AAA passwords were changed in the past... do those get reset when provisioning?
What else should I be looking at?
Thanks!
Questions go in the q&a section.

Not familiar with EFS Clear, but searching it out is giving scary results. ("...Verizon tech...sent me a new phone", etc)
Safe to run? I don't want to brick the phone.
It clears out everything to make the phone ready to activate. It may try to do hands-free activation but since it is not active it will fail. If your buyer can't activate it and Sprint can't then what do you have to lose?

Odin'd to EL30, with "EFS Clear" checked, User ID is now "[email protected]".
HA/AAA values (most importantly, the HDR auth pass) are written to NVRAM. I don't think a factory reset will clear those values. I think you should be getting at least 1xRTT data, but no EVDO data unless you write those NV items back to stock. Once you change them, I believe they are lost forever (until an EFS clear at the very least).
There exist threads where people write about how to backup HA and AAA keys. If a ##RST# restored these NV items, these guides wouldn't be necessary.
tl;dr
You may be SOL using 3G data with your original MEID. Good luck.

This phone was sold to me as having a bad ESN, so I didn't bother backing up the NV info when playing with it. Now that I'm selling it, the ESN turns out to be clean!
Is there a higher level of Sprint tech that could restore/recreate/repair the incorrect HA/AAA info?
It seems a waste to force a good-ESN phone to Cricket/Virgin/Boost.

I wouldn't think so. The critical info is the profile 0 HA key. Everything else is easy to obtain.
I've read that the M.IP_0 HA key is somehow calculated based off the MEID and burned in by the manufacturer. If true, it would be some value calculated and verified by the network when associating with your phone.
This sounds plausible because all the other keys have valid alphanumeric plaintext values (e.g., on Sprint, AA is always "secret", and profile 1 HA is a random jumble of 6 alphanumeric characters), but M.IP_0 HA is nonsense (non-alphanumeric) when converted from hex to ASCII. Anyways, because the network may calculate this independently based on an internal hash, I doubt any tech can tell you the key (it's unique for each handset, not readable in plaintext, and, as far as I know, the hash used to calculate it is publicly unknown (if it was known, we wouldn't need to NV read our old phones' profile 0 entries)).
This is as much as I bothered to read/comprehend. Someone more knowledgable than I is welcome to correct me.

Hi there. It sounds like you're trying to read your HA/AAA keys, and you haven't gotten much help yet.
You're right that the programming procedures on the D720 and D700 are similar.
If you're trying to read the keys from your D720, you don't need to. NV item 1192 is not readable through QPST, but you can write to it. And that's what really matters, right?
I remember pre-2.3 D700 firmwares allowed me to read all the NV items. You could try flashing earlier firmwares to your device to see if that allows you to read restricted NV items. (This might be a problem on the D720 because it shipped with 2.3, but maybe NV items weren't locked down on early 2.3 versions? Try it out.)
Assuming you're trying to read keys from a non-D720 device, have you tried DFS?
[edit]
Sorry, I see you're trying to read from a Galaxy Prevail. I can't help you there. As others have already said, you need to seek help in the correct forum.

The connection still has an E
Does anyone know of a fix? If I'm correct, it all happened after flashing Cyanogen Mod 10, the stable release, from there the connection was either "G" or just "E."

Go to settings and see if imei is missing or has a 0. If it does try the fix in the development section. If that doesn't work, use triangle away to remove the flash counter to 0 and then coding stock unrooted and send it to Samsung.

This maybe completely random. But I have noticed a very strong E signal whenever my phone is not using more than that. After adding the account and a reboot. Try downloading something. It should automatically reset itself and try to find the 4G even if the 4G gives less bars than the E.

Mike, have you checked out Ting? We moved all 4 of our E4GT phones to Ting. Same Sprint network. Our bill is about 40% of what we paid Sprint each month, and it's nice to not be tied down to a contract. No activation fee. If you want to try them, PM me and I can give you a referral to save on your 1st bill.

Okay, so telco service people rate right up there with fruit with their usefulness. I switched cell phone, and I'm going to sell my old phone. However even after a factory reset, and wiping the cache, when I check the system info my phone number still is listed, and my Sprint email that has my name listed. Obviously the phone doesn't work, but I don't want to sell it with that info on there. I just spent 40min talking to Sprint, going round and round, they kept saying "your number is listed on your new phone". I was like "YES on the account my number is on my new phone.. but PHYSICALLY on my old phone.. in the settings screen my number is still listed". She kept saying "no it's not, I'm looking at it right here". FUUUCK!!! REALLY!?!?! Like arguing with a door knob.
Long story short the phone is a Galaxy Epic SGII - SPH-D710 JellyBean 4.1.2 GB27, I'm hoping the collective of the Internet will be strong/smart enough to solve this riddle. Can anyone help?

Hey man were all grown ups here. I'm not being flagrant with it. Sometimes adults just need to use other words to express their feelings.
I may try that one-click solution if I don't get any other options, thank you. However it seems like there should be a more straightforward way to wipe the information
I had the same problem with an evo. I want it to sell it but I didnt want anybody seeing my phone number, so here's what I did. Look for a tutorial on how to flash the phone and in qpst instead of putting your or where your phone is you put zeros. Simple as that.

I'm sorry, but we have kids under 15 in our forums. I understand people need to vent, but you need to edit your post to avoid any infraction s from a mod.
Unfortunately there is never an easy way to do things. You are gonna have to try it. The reason it doesn't remove it with a factory reset I'd because you would have to reprovision the device after clearing the data partition. That is basically what a factory reset is. The information you are trying to clear is in a different area that may get completely wiped if you do a one click. If not, CDMA workshop might be needed. Have you tried updating the profile? That might clear it out as well.
