You "guess" you messed around with something???

I am actually from India! Using it on a indian service provider. About the guess yeah, I dont remember actually if i changed anything. I even flashed the phone to stock/custom rom. No use

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....
Which would be ##786#.....

Still no avail brother!

Is this device compatible with the 3g service your provider uses?

Yes it is. I have been using for quite a some time now.

Having the exact same issue. Not sure what caused it or how to fix it. I too am on stock rom

Have you contacted your cellular provider? If you changed some settings, most likely calling your provider to get the right settings will be your best course of action.

Alright,so over here in india we use nvitems (dump files) for evdo Else known as 3G. I tried everything but it doesnt seem to go back. Any way to make a phone go back TOTALLY to its 1st stage? When it came out when it was shipped? As in the whole parameters to be new. I tried flashing new parameters,prl, No avail. Just cannot see the 3g logo.

Any help?

We are probably going to need a little more info than that if you want help...

Agreed... ankurcshah you've given us very little to go on here. You have to remember that the ET4G your using is mainly a US/Sprint base device.
Have you rooted, installed a rom/moden... Help us out some so we can help you out.

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.

Nope, I just needed the dump file for the 3g to work, 3g works on my dad's phone and it doesnt on mine. I use the same dump as his. Still? Wierd
Questions:
1. If not how did you get it setup to see their towers???
I just flashed a prl
2. Did they (provider) give you some kind of codes to enter in the ##DATA# settings???
nope, I had set the msl to 000000
3. If they did, do you still have them and have you tried that???
They are not aware of such a thing also.

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???

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.

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.

HELP please...Problem regarding very poor signal after root?

Hello. I finally decided to root my galaxy s3 a few days ago. After I did so I downloaded some themes, ad block, etc. the normal stuff. The next day I started noticing something odd with the phone, such as very poor data connection (I can restart the phone and it will say I am on 4g for a minute or two although the connection doesn't say the same, but then it will either go to EDGE or give me no connection at all.) and poor network (says I have good bars but texts don't send often and take 10 minutes to receive; phone calls drop.}
I took the device to the AT&T store and got a new SIM card and that did nothing. 45 minutes of "support" did even less for me. I unrooted it, factory restored it, nothing.
I am desperate, if anyone would give me a workaround / fix, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Not sure. Did you check your APN settings? Did you flash any ROMS, modems or kernels at all?

Thank you, now for the QCN..........I will be very happy when this is fixed lol.
So whenever I try to create a QCN I am unable to find it in the location I placed it, and I have hidden files visible. When I try to slide it to a different folder it says the file doesn't exist anymore. My phone has moved to "Unspecified" in devices and printers and I am unable to access any of its files even after trying to reinstall drivers multiple times (it gets stuck on the 5th one...network something...). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve the problem with not being able to access my phone?
Ok I figured out how to access my phone and I think installing a new modem fixed it.....we will wait a couple hours and see.

Stuck on Edge!!!

Hello everyone,
I wonder if anyone can help me. I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S III from T-mobile, running CM 10. Since last week I've been having trouble with it after I updated the CM 10 rom. For some weird reason I cannot receive calls while I am using my data connection, incoming calls are always sent to voicemail. I tried the ##DATA# code to try to turn off the DDTM mode but later on I read that I cannot access this menu unless I am on stock ROM, I tried to flash T-mobile's stock ROM with Odin but the process kept getting stuck with no progress at all.
I kept looking and I came to the idea that my problem was my IMEI, which when I checked, was 0. I restored my IMEI and now I have my IMEI number and everything but I my internet connection is still stuck on EDGE and I cannot receive any calls. I even tried updating my modem I tried several different T-mobile modems for my phone and none of them can take my phone off EDGE.
then I tried changing the network type with the *#*#4636#*#* the actual network type option that it has selected is WCDMA preferred, I went ahead and selected LTE/GSM/CDMA but that option doesn't stay!!! I am going nuts here!!! I want my 4G connection back, I have tried everything with no luck at all.
I just hope that somebody out there has gone through this and found a solution cause I am losing all my hope and I don't want to take my phone to T-mobile since I cant flash it back to stock rom.
If anyone here could please help out I will be extremely thankful.
Thanks in advance.

It's more to it than simply injecting your IMEI. You have to inject it, back it up, and then restore it.
Well i had to enter my IMEI manually to generate a .txt to write it to my phone because the one i had before was corrupted cause it was 0.
Was thete any other step that I skiped doing?
I figure i wouldnt make a back up before injecting my IMEI manually cause i didnt have one.
Am I screwed??

Yes, you skipped two complete steps. There's three steps, again, Injection, Backup, and then Restore. Go back to Peoplearmy's thread and follow it completely.

I did this method, I cant actually check if my 4g is working since unfortunately at home I always get EDGE so I will check later when I go out.
I have a question, I did check on the dialer my IMEI but I saw a picture of somebody on peoplearmy's thread and their IMEI included a /0# at the end and I realized that mine doesn't.
Does the IMEI need to have that /#0 at the end in order to work or is it ok? I just want to make sure since I can only check my connection speed when I go out.
thank you

As far as I know, your IMEI should just be a simple number. If the IMEI you're seeing on the software matches your IMEI on the back of your phone, then you're good in that department. If you also followed the steps for the backup and restore. Then you're good. The backup is important, because it allows for the restore. The restore has some (stuff) that adds all of the settings back to allow you to connect to 4G. Does that make sense? It's a three-step process when you lose your IMEI for the first time.
Inject, backup, restore. It has to be done, because the restore really does add something back to make it work properly.
Should you lose it again in the future, you can simply just restore and be right back.

[Q] Can't make 3G work on another carrier (SOLVED)

When add settings of my carrier in DFS (cdmatool), it is not saves them. Who can help what can it be. Or it is just need to enter right APN settings? I'm new in this. Sorry for bad English. May be some one know what I'm doing wrong. Please give me advice.
Solution:
- as it turns out you need to put zeros in line 39939 (NV Items -> 39939 | NV_LG_DATA_PPP_CARRIER_I | User | - - | 1 | 2byte), than do everything like described in DFS. Also 3G Rev B works well (DFS -> tab Data -> mode -> RevB_MFPA)

I never used DFS.. But from what I remember from way back..
After adding the ESN to your carrier
I would flash the prl and activate the phone...
If the Internet wouldn't work... Then I would need to manually enter the APN settings.
Never did and LTE phones though..

I'm afraid that won't work either. The phones EFS won't let the manual write stick and I can't figure out why either. I've been trying since I've had the phone. I have mine flashed to Verizon but only 1X. I was looking at the thread on backing up this phones EFS to you computer and was wondering if I could be backed-up and changed while on a PC then copied over the existing EFS. I don't have time to try it right now so if anyone else does give it a "go" and let the rest of us know if it works.

I was looking at the thread on backing up this phones EFS to you computer and was wondering if I could be backed-up and changed while on a PC then copied over the existing EFS. I don't have time to try it right now so if anyone else does give it a "go" and let the rest of us know if it works.

Congrats!! You are the only person I have heard of that has been able to flash to another carrier and get full speed 3D. May I ask who did it and what it cost? (PM me) Also, what do you mean by "config" exactly?

I hope you are able to figure out how they did it soon because I can't stand having a [email protected]#$$$ paper-weight. LOL. By the way, after I flashed mine, one of the main bugs is the "hands free activation" notice that pops up every time it gets turned on or up from sleep mode. Is there a way to delete the file that controls this or at least permanently turn it off?

The hands free activation is an app that runs automatically at startup. You can remove it from /system/app/OmaDmclient.apk or uninstall "Update Device" with Titanium Backup.
Sprint likes to change up the app in its devices, but it seems to have the common thread of "omadm" in the apk name.
Hope that helps.
SOLVED

A very weird problem.. I need some help with!

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?
Did you change anything with the phone recently? Did you recently move homes?

Look, I'm trying to assist you. If all you are going to do is plead for help over and over again without providing answers, then I cannot help you.
Have you done anything to the phone since you last had stable connections?

I think he's implying that that's how it's always been, or possibly that he has done all of this within the last few days. However long it's been, to me it doesn't sound like a recent issue that has cropped up.
Just my obversvation though. Unfortunately that's all the help I can offer heh

After that I instealed the Provision Rom
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2129233)
After that I flashed the Cricket mms fix found here
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649508&highlight=cricket+mms)

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
