After flashing a new rom, ran into a problem I have never seen before. I could not restore my apps from Titanium Backup. It won't even list them. I know I have the directory set correctly. Even had TB search for the right directory, and it shows files there, but when I go to do anything in Batch nothing shows up. Not even currently installed apps.
Wiped, format, etc. Flashed a different rom. This time when installing TB it comes up with a screen telling me my android id has changed. Still can't restore anything. TB said it could fix it, but only if you have premium version. (Wife just got laid off, so money is tight, otherwise I probably would have bought it.)
Googled the hell out of it for a couple days and pretty much came up empty. Android Id changer in the market it not compatible with this device. Seen people mention editing build.prop I have no idea where to even look for build.prop, let alone what to look for inside of it.
Another interesting thing I noticed while going to Play Store via my PC, I now have 2 different E4GT listed as possible devices to install to. This seems to confirm the changed ID.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
We need to know what rom you're using that broke it.

Went from cm9 to Frankenstein. Thats where the problem started. Wiped all and currently running touched by sgsiii. If it helps, my new id is the same as my serial number in about phone.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
From what I'm reading the MEID is your android ID. I think it's also printed on the box you got the phone with and also under the battery. It should not be the same as the serial number.
And you still have service?
Edit: Have you tried one-click back to stock rooted EL29 GB yet? I think you really should start there to see if the reset resolves the issue on its own.
Also the info I put above is incorrect about it matching yourMEID.
No, its not the meid. It is a 15 digit hex number. Same that show in about phone-> phone status. Serial number. I can pm you a screen shot. I dont really want to post that info out in the open.

I'm rooted and have been for a while. I just switched to Team-Nocturnals_Shoooter_RLS3.1.1 rom. I have a problem where sometimes I can't recieve messages on the stock messaging app, I notice this because I have Gingerbread Ghostly constlantly running and that app recieves the message but not the stock messging app. I also don't recieve calls every once in a while.
The first time I ever noticed this was about a month ago when I was running a Going-Green rom but it only happened when i switched to that Rom, never happened before then. So I upgraded my radio to 2.15.00.08.08 because that Rom ran so smoothly on my phone and wanted to keep it. The problem kept happening so i switched to another Rom and it happened on that one as well.
I've switched between different roms probably 5 to 8 times and I still don't recieve messages or calls sometimes and I don't know how to fix it. A while back, user on here was nice and tried helping me out by telling me it could have to do with Google voice, so i completely deactivated Google voice and its still happening.
I would really appreciate any input and info you may have on this and please help if you can. Also can I downgrade my radio? Would that help? Thanks.
What radio version do you have? The newer radios will not allow you to downgrade. But then again, you wouldn't want to downgrade your radio anyway.
When I had this issue it was because Google Voice completely F'ed my phone. My messaging wouldn't work no matter what ROM I flashed. I ended up fixing the phone by accident as I was unrooting it to take it into the store. Here is a link on what I did with mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18399552&postcount=2
Follow that process and fully unroot your phone back to bone stock. Once you've got it back to bone stock try sending yourself a message and see if it works. If it does then feel free to unroot once again and reflash whatever ROM you wish. If it still doesnt work then, while unrooted, make sure your phone has accepted all of the OTA updates from Sprint and then update your profile. If it STILL doesnt work then give Sprint tech support a call and ask them what the ## code is to reset your phone's network signal. I wrote it down somewhere from when I tried it on mine but I cannot find that damn piece of paper. If NONE of that works for you then you may have to take it into Sprint. Good news though, it's already fully unrooted so you don't have to worry about the risk of the techs denying you.
Let me know if any of this helps.

Doubtful it is sense. What rom were you using before?
I doubt it was Sense because I was having the same problem with an AOSP ROM.

Call sprint from a secondary phone, tell them that you are getting very delayed text messages and not receiving calls at random. have them update your profile. If that doesnt work have them reprogram your phone. had to reprogram mine when i was receiving text messages 5 hours after they were sent

It's always best to flash each of those separately. Flash the radio and then reboot the phone. Then flash the wimax and reboot the phone. And so on and so on. I flashed one of those all in one packages and I had problems with getting everything set properly. So I did them one by one and they worked flawlessly. I then read, afterwards, that its best to do them individually. I'm not exactly sure why....but that's what has worked best for me and apparently for the majority of other people. So I recommend going back and flashing each of those individually to make sure they all installed correctly.

I'd like to know if it's safe to start breaking into it. I know rooting won't hurt it, but what about custom ROMs, or even updating to Gingerbread? I don't want to mess up the current settings that have been applied for the phone to work on nTelos.

Actually if you stay on stock modded roms meaning you stay away from CM7 or any other AOSP ROM then you'll be fine I however have no idea to prove this but have only seen people on cricket and boost mobile have problems only on aosp roms never any stock roms
If you need the latest stock rom ill be happy to help you odin it and root it as well let me know if you have any other questions.

Ok...got another question. I keep randomly getting the "Error 67: Registration error. Your Sprint data service username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again"
Since I'm not on a Sprint plan, is there an apk or file I can delete to get rid of this thing? It's driving me freakin' insane!
Also, I was flipping through the phone and found this: W_RF_AUTH. What the hell is it? The permissions on it are sketchy as hell, do not want. OK to delete???
Ususal rule of thumb, if you don't know what it is don't delete it... freeze it with titanium backup and if strange things begin to happen then unfreeze... iif not its probably safe to delete...

I FC'd it and nothing has happened so far. Can't freeze with free version. I can't seem to find where it's stored on my device either. Root explorer searched every directory in my phone and nothing. I think I'm gonna back my phone up and use TB to uninstall it...if it causes any undesired effects I'll revert to my backup.

Have you googled anything to get rid of it? What is error 67 anyways?
For error 67, and this applies to most sprint phones that use Vision, Powervision, EVDO, Etc. Error 67 indicates that the username or password stored in your phone is incorrect. this condition is very rarely related to the coverage in an area, usually occurs after recent device swap, or attempting to use modem/hotspot while your account does not have a valid modem/hotspot plan.
Before going through too much effort, you should power your phone off, then back on, update your profile (this varies by model support.sprint.com has guides for most phones) and determine that the feature that you are attempting to use should work ( for example to use hotspot, you must be subscribed to hotspot. to use phone's web browser the web service should not be blocked, Etc.) if you still have trouble with error 67 after following this information please feel free to send me a private message.
When I odined el30 I don't think I had you flash the latest el30 modem delta so flash this : http://db.tt/oL0nSl3s
Then do the profile update as well as the prl update and reboot and see if your phone stops displaying the error 67

I think you're pretty much stuck. I had the same problem once and never managed to get it working. If you can somehow make a backup of the messed up system that would be great. If the phone is stock, I don't think there's a way to do that.

no, there's not. I thought of that too.

That is what I was going for, just overwriting the recovery partition like you would for rooting GB. You could even try to bring it back to life by flashing a kernel and see if it would boot. Neither of those operations should delete data.

This one!
I have literally tried updating profile more then ten times....
I've also...
Did a Hard Reset as described in the link above, Did a hands free activation (which like the person's complaint in the link above, it showed I had it during but then it resets and it is gone again), I've tried the ##786# reset, I've flashed stock non root, then I went back to root after trying it all over again!
Very frustrated at this point, I cannot figure out how it happened either because it is my Fiance's phone and she claims that she didn't do anything different it just happened.
I was on the Dirty Unicorn ROM before hand, I know that I did have some tweaks active, and I am worried that is why the configuration is sticking and not able to just clean wipe it out...
But if anyone else has come across this and has been able to fix it using a different method other then all the ones tried and stated in this message and the ones in the sprint forum link above... Both my Fiance and I would be greatly in your debt! This is the first time in the past two years and 3 phones that I've been teaching myself this stuff that I've encountered a problem I wasnt able to go through forumns and google and fix it, and that is what is more frustrating then anything.
Assuming this isn't a phone flashed to another carrier you could try flashing a stock rom, and then stop by a sprint store. They should be able to get it back on line there.
Ok, So I have an Epic 4g flashed to Cricket, I have made everything work(mms,test,talk,ect.) I have it on Android 4.1.2. My problem is I only get 3G and its not very dependable. I live in Phoenix, A.Z. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?

I don't use a MVNO, so I am not sure which regular troubleshooting steps would clear away your carrier settings. (I'm thinking using EFS Clear in Odin is the only concern, but that is sometimes needed for modem issues.)
Based off that rom's thread, you must be using the NS4G modem. Since your issue is with connectivity:
Perform a CWM backup of your current setup.
Flash an Epic modem rom and FC09 modem. (You can flash the modem using CWM. There's a thread in the dev forum w/ links.)
Try testing connection again.
I'd normally tell a Sprint Epic user to boot into FC09 multiboot and update profile & PRL, but I don't even think the PRL update would work for you. I'd then say, start from scratch by using Odin to flash FC09 with repartition checked. If they still had issues with connectivity, then I'd recommend using EFS clear in Odin when reflashing either just the FC09 modem or the entire FC09 tar.
Because you are on another carrier, I'm weary of suggesting you use Odin so quickly. If you haven't already, dive into your phone settings and document your carrier specific info you changed to get it working. This way, if you end up doing something that resets your original changes, then you can reconfigure it.
So give the suggestion that is listed above a try.
Since I'm very much a noob myself, I'm only tossing this out to possibly trigger an idea for someone else: Would perhaps the issue lie in the Build.prop or one of those similar files? I've poked around so many of them I can't remember which hold what tidbits of info... I know the Build.prop holds most of the primary carrier info, but I seem to recall another one that stored a bunch of info for a bunch of the other carriers (though that might have been for roaming and may not be of any help here).
*shrug* Otherwise, I's gots nothin' lol
