Hi Lisa. Like Peanut said, please provide us with additional info.
As for my personal problem with this, I had this problem for weeks running 2 different Gingerbread roms. Calls just would go straight to voicemail, everything else worked fine (texting, outgoing calls). I ended up calling Sprint and having them walk me through a full re-provisioning of the phone with ##72786# and also ##501435# to fully resolve my issue.
I won't post the rest of the details on how to do it because you need additional information to accomplish this and it's just easier to have Sprint walk you through all the steps.

if i flash a gb based rom, walk through these steps and go back to an ics, will the settings still be set (##)? like when i do a prl update?

Yes, the settings will follow you through different ROMs. It probably would be best to be on GB when you do it. I don't know how it will affect AOKP. You will need your MSL and MSID if you try to do it yourself. That's why I suggested just calling Sprint, letting them know your problem (and just let them know someone suggested those 2 steps, you never know the level of expertise you get on the other end). It's just easier that way. Like I said, I didn't want to post the complete steps in case I missed something necessary and it caused you other problems.
OK dude try this.
Download fd19 modem.bin
Go into Odin mode
Flash fd19 modem into phone slot of Odin.
Let it run through phase and reboot.
See if it helps.
Idk why you are still on el29. It sucked eggs for me, but that's just me.
EDIT: here's the link. Just open the zip and pull the modem.bin file and follow these instructions.

Sure thing. Call Sprint tech support and tell them you're reprovisioning your phone and need the MSID phone number.
From Dialpad ##501435#
Select 'Edit'
Select 'Touch Here'
Enter YOUR cell phone number on the virtual kepad that comes up and press the return key on the bottom right of the virtual keypad.
MSID
0000000000
Will be displayed on screen.
Once again select 'Touch Here'
Enter your MSID on the virtual keypad that comes up (it looks like a cell phone number, for example mine is 7272780149 for my phone. That's not my phone # btw )
Press the return key on the bottom right of the virtual keypad.
Select 'Done' and the phone will reboot.
Edit: Update your PRL & Profile once this has between completed and manually reboot your phone.

Aw Lisa you're killing me, I thought you were going back to GB.
You're not still on AOKP are you? Umm, well try *#*#501435#*#*
with all the extra characters. If it doesn't work guess you'll have to go back to Gingerbread for that. Sorry.
Edit: You're putting that into the phone dialpad right?
I'm having an issue with calls and not being able to send text and they tell me that it's because some towers are getting updated and I'll continue to have this problem until the end of June call sprint and see if they are doing anything to the towers around your area

Might not be your modem, you could just be in a bad service area. Call sprint to tell them and see if they can give you an airave. Works wonders at home. Some people said they try to charge for it but they sent me one with no charges.

Your post was a little hard to follow. You have used the one-click odin to go back to a stock rooted rom and are still having problems, is that correct?
Try this
##72786# then enter your MSL code then click okay to reset data. This will only reset and re-provision/activate your phone to Sprint. This will create a new profile on Sprints network and will give you any new network settings that may have changed in your area
1. Download "Terminal Emulator" from the app market.2. Open Terminal Emulator.3. type in getprop ril.MSL (make sure the .MSL is capitalized)4. Press enter and poof, you have your MSL code.
Helps to not use swype .....while doing this as Swype will capitalize the i in ril

So basically... Last week i was running ICS FD05 for a few days and then upgrade fresh install to FD10 ICS... Monday this week I missed a phone call around 5AM for my work.. didn't think about it much...
but yesterday I was having issues with getting text and sending them... with double sending and just not sending at all.. so I figured maybe its the new leak that messed up so I went back to stock rooted EL29 with one click (done it before several times) but went I went back it seemed that I cant make phone calls to my Voicemail or anyone else for that matter unless I was roaming...
I have tried flashing back to an ICS build and that hasn't helped... also I reinstalled a 60686 prl from a post in development (thought that my prl was corrupt) and also did a factory reset with my MSL number like Epix4g told me to do.
and No never used google voice at all.. was thinking about it after this fiasco... but staying away till i get a better picture of whats going on

FYI, I can relate with you. For the last several weeks I can't recieve phone calls or voicemails. The problem has been intermittent. Calls drop straight to voicemail and I'll get the visual voicemail notification hours later.
I can't blame this one on ICS, I've been using GB roms and it's happened on several (worth a try). But I swear it started happening after I thought I'd give Gvoice a try. Getting rid of it is a different conversation. I've been back and forth with Sprint a few times too. Just got off of the phone a few minutes ago because it happened again today.
Keep me apprised too.
I don't have any problem with gv but I don't inter grate it with sprint I just use the voice mail part ....when u first install just click skip and then go from there .... I hated it making u hit 1 to answer and the look of the text part ....it is OK for just voicemail though to me

Update to my problem
So if anyone cares I still don't have a native signal from sprint in my house.. they say that are still working on it and cant find the problem... so sprint tech support sent me an Airave ... hooked it up today... I get full bars now and pretty clear signal (just don't stand in front of it) and best of all no fee and no monthly charges unless you have an issue with credit then they charge you 5 bucks a month
the only things that suck with this is that when you make or get a call it has 3 beeps (letting you know that you are on the Airave signal)
also if you are roaming you get the same 3 beeps but you have a triangle above your signal bars
but non the less no more dropped calls from my house and has built in GPS
So if you have a weak signal or or none at all this might be right up your ally.
It seems that you get your signal from your high speed internet so make sure you have that before getting an Airave... thanks for all your help!
I apologize in advance if this is a thread somewhere I couldn't find it.
I was recently using CM9 alpha3 on my E4GT, and last night suddenly I wasn't able to make calls. It says "we're sorry but we can't complete your call right now" or it just instantly hangs up. I thought it may have been an issue with the rom or modem, so I went back to Calkulin's GB EL29 ROM. Same issue, even after resetting PRL and profile multiple times with phone restarts. I can send and receive texts, and I can receive calls, but I can't make calls. Another thing to note is I use an Airrave in this house, I tried resetting that as well, and dialing *99 which is supposed to also refresh or reset it. None of these tactics have worked and I was wondering what else I could try. Thanks again in advance!

Maybe you might be hotlined from Sprint. Sounds silly but is you bill paid?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
possibly Blacklisted
expanding on the previous post..
Did you get the phone direct from SPRINT. or via ebay or at a pub?
Bills paid?
are you the only registered owner of the handset?
people will sell you a phone, then after a little bit of time passes. they register the phone as LOST/STOLEN/DAMAGED the network Blacklists it and provides the fraudster with a shiny new handset.
you end up out of pocket without a working phone.
its an increasingly popular fraud technique I'm afraid.
Silly question but it needs to be asked, are you sure it wasn't something with the number you were calling? Did you try calling several number?
Airrave services are having issues. Power it off for a day.

The bill is current, I have called multiple numbers, both on the sprint network and others neither has worked. I have other family members in the household on the same plan using the airrave and they are able to make calls. I bought the phone directly from sprint brand new from the store with my 2 year contract.
Why don't you use sfhub's one-click EL29, get yourself back to simple stock rooted and see if it clears up the issue. It's always my fall back whenever something goes awry.

Don't reflash Calkulin's ROM until you've been able to recover your voice calling services. Both CM9 and Calkulin's ROM are custom, so maybe that's where the problem is coming from. You need to get back as close to stock as possible then see if the problem persists.
Go back to EL29 (plain stock or stock-rooted), see if everything is working then you'll know if maybe it's something in the flashing process that is knocking out the voice calling.
I'm also having the exact same issue with my airave. If I unplug it I'm able to make calls without a problem. So as someone else posted I believe the airaves are having issues today. But I am on the stock FD26 ICS if anyone else is having the problem and thinks it has anything to do with the leak.

Yeah I unplugged the airave and I walked far outside to get a bar and was able to make a call. Didn't think it was the culprit because other family members can make calls with it, they have different phones though.

Flashing stock ROM wont reset those settings. You will need to reset the activation on a stock ROM. I'm not sure of the code for that but its been in the treads a few times....

As far as I know and someone else has already posted this... You can do a factory reset to bring the os back to a "out of box" state. But this in no way will effect, change or the dialer or radios. Those settings are set by the carriers.

Again, this is your original post. In it you clearly state that you "guess" you did the "##DATA# dialer code and" messed something with out my knowledge".
After rereading your original post again I'm thinking it really should have read this way...
"I went into ##DATA# and messed with some of the settings and didn't really know what I was changing." See the difference???
Those setting in "##DATA# or set by the carriers... They are there to tell the radios on your device how to communicate with and what frequency to use for the towers your cellular providers uses.
I'm going to assume that when you got your ET4G you had to contact your cellular provider to get it setup to use their service, right???
Questions:
1. If not how did you get it setup to see their towers???
2. Did they (provider) give you some kind of codes to enter in the ##DATA# settings???
3. If they did, do you still have them and have you tried that???
I've said this before... I really think you need to contact your provider and see if maybe they can re provision your radios.

I've said this before... I really think you need to contact your provider and see if maybe they can re provision your radios.
I tired they don't understand "reprovision radios"

As you were saying about the out of box state? Could you elaborate a bit more on that. I just need to reset the data settings of the phone to the state in which the phone had come. In the sense as in out of box.
Answers are in bold.
Thanx for your help

The reset I mentioned is a "factory reset" ... But like I already posted... It will only delete all of your user data and reset settings like wifi, email passwords...
It won't reset the radios...
If you had already flashed these files to get your phone working when you got it, Don't you still have them???

The one click restore files are for Sprint phones so I doubt if they would work for you

I have Credo Mobile, A MVNO that leases through Sprint. Fix though is below in thread.
Alright, so I'm not sure when this happened but I know it happened a few months ago, and it wasn't any roms problem. I am able to receive picture messages, but am unable to send any. I've searched and was unable to locate a solution to my woes, so maybe the wonderful community has an answer for me? I'd love to be able to send pics once more

Which version are you on? There actually was a reported issue in the stock rom at one point.

What is your current build? (Rom, kernel, etc.)
What have you changed?
Have you edited any settings via dial codes?
How do you know it wasn't a rom change?
Are you reading these questions?
Have you talked to Sprint at all on this?

I'm on FH13 now, but my last official build was... GB29 if I'm not mistaken. Been so long on custom (done right) roms. right now, I'm on Blu Kuban latest release.

I have changed from stock to custom, funked around with a few different roms, from AOKP and an all black one (can't remember which) then to the Blu Kuban for a while now.
I think I did touch something in the dial codes. But for the life of me I can't even remember why I would have in the beginning
I guess I don't know if it was rom related or not.
I am lol
and I haven't cause I know the problem doesn't lie there. Have to expend all of my available options before I call them.
Also, I'm not 'techically' Sprint, but Credo Mobile. This company leases service from Sprint.
There's the problem - you're on an MVNO.
1) Go to phone and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
2) Go to Edit and enter MSL
3) Go to Others and then MMSC URL
4) Change from mms.sprintpcs.com to mms.plspictures.com
This should restore MMS.
I don't follow, what caused that? You identified it rather readily.
Upon trying to edit in the phone code ##DATA#
I'm prompted to enter a MSL and only given numbers.

MVNOs don't use the same server as Sprint to send MMS messages.
The default for MVNOs (like mine, KDDI Mobile) is plspictures.com instead of sprintpcs.com
There are exceptions to the rule but this is most likely the same for you.
To get your MSL download Terminal Emulator and do the following (case senstive)
1) su
2) getprop ril.MSL
This should produce a 6 digit code - this is your MSL. Also should solve your current problem.
Yusssssssss!
So stoked, you my friend, are a savior and a genius! I don't care what no one says about ya lol. I thought it would be something uber simple cause of my weird carrier. What would have went and changed that might you reckon? Cause it did work at one point in time.
And I used another app, Get my MSL. 2nd one down from the top after I market searched 'MSL' worked fairly easy had me do this:
1. Open app
2. Touch 'Get my MSL' button

The one I know that will do it are the full restore one click packages. I've tested the nodata versions on the missus' phone and it seems to hold. Can't say for custom ROMs but likely you'll have to change after flashing.
Glad that fixed it for you!

I did use one of those in my history, well before I settled on this beauty. It'll be one of the things I'll have to bear in mind. I did update but then I restored back, I messed something up. I'll check to see if it does funk with the picture messaging with the flashing of a new rom.
That was literally the one downfall I had, now I'm rip roaring ready to go!

Greetings!
I recently rooted my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II with a toolkit, and it seemingly deactivated my phone, so I couldn't make calls, send text messages or use 3G at all. Every time I would reboot my phone, It would try to do a "Hands Free Activation" and fail.
Since then I have unrooted my phone and restored it to stock, but it still seems deactivated. I can't make calls, send texts or use 3G, and I also still get the "Hands Free Activation" and it still fails every time.
Thanks in advance for the advice.

I called Sprint and they walked me through a ##72786#. I did not help, I am having the exact same problems.
I had the same issue, even was on the sprint for 45 minutes to no avail. Used Odin to flash back to stock/rooted and was good.

I have tried flashing back to stock rooted, and it still runs the hands free activation and I don't have service.

Which .tar file did you use? I tried several until this one worked for me. SPH-L900_MA5_853599_Rooted_Restore.tar.md5. Erased everything and Then was able to flash an updated version and keep data.

Ok, so I used the tar file you used, and it no longer attempts to do the hands free activation.
I seem to be recieving a few text messages, but it seems delayed and sparatic. Phone calls made to me go straight to voicemail. Phone calls I make go through occasionally. I can use 3G for internet access.
In my notification panel, my service bars jump from zero to full quickly, and frequently. It usually sits on zero bars.

Have them try manually programming your phone. They will need you to dial ##MSL#, then tap EDIT, input your MDN (Phone number), MSID (Network routing number) and then select DONE. The phone will reboot, but all of the correct info will be stored in the phone and it shouldn't have an issue with hands free.

With HFA you shouldn't need manual programming as long as the MEID is still set.
Try ##72786# (##SCRTN#) to force HFA and allow the profile/PRL to update.
Also run the MC2 One Click with the change ID in the name (number) to update everything if not already on MC2.
That should get you going again.
If you see HFA pop back up let me know.

That was the issue he was having is that HFA wouldn't complete, and so his phone wouldn't fully provision. If he manually programs then it can skip HFA and should work without it.

In my experience it's not that easy anymore. Manual provision may not allow a profile update, at which point you now have to manually key in AA/HAA keys. And that's not even addressing the LTE SIM.
In this person's case a MC2 one click and the carrier partition fix ought to have done it either way. Feel free to research what we've done so far on related issues if you question why I gave this answer. I have older threads explaining the problem.

First I'll preface this with the fact that I'm not doubting you in the least, you may be correct, and since OP hasn't responded I don't know. Your thanks meter is through the roof, which tells me that you know your ****, so I'm not questioning you. What I'm trying to do is explain it from the way I see it. I have to deal with issues like this at last 50 times a day. People call in because they can't get their phone to provision over the network and I have to troubleshoot and get it working. 999/1000 times it comes down to a provisioning delay or an issue with service. Without knowing the specifics I can't say if that's the cause of his issue or not. What I can say is that I can count on one hand the amount of times I have had to open a CTMS ticket for provisioning. If I can't get SCRTN to work, then I refresh OMA and power cycle, then try again. If that doesn't do the trick then I manually program. When the phone comes back on I have them wait at least a minute, ensure that there is signal and a 3G/4G logo, and have them test. 99.9% of the times the phone works. That's why I suggested manual programming, And then if there is an issue with PRL I'll have them connect to wifi and update again, but rarely have I had an call where not having a current PRL meant that the phone wouldn't provision. Unless he went and manually wrote an archaic PRL in himself then anyone that is already loaded in should work just fine.
TL;DR: Basically, what I'm conveying in this wall of text is that manual programming negates the need for HFA. They both do the same thing, but SCRTN trusts that the network is working, and then automatically updates the PRL, Profile, and Firmware, all of which you can do manually once the correct MDN and MSID are in place.
