Hello everyone, I did a little searching and yet to find a problem or resolution similar to mines. I am not new to flashing. Everything normally ran smooth on previous phones that I did. My final product after the flash is the issue.
Flashed phone is an Evo 4g. One prior owner, a close friend who bought it new from the Sprint store. Not going into the technical details( assuming everyone knows the process). But my donor phone this time was the incognito.
Problems: I have no idea what could of happened. When I call out the number shows as private on any phone that I call. I try calling the phone, it goes to voice mail. I call out pressing *82 to see if my number appears but I always get a "Welcome to Verizon wireless, your mobile number is not active or invalid" . When I press 611 it goes to the Sprint Carrier. Sms don't work but internet does. Any guidance would be appreciated. Anyway in which I can restart from the beginning without rerooting? Or a way to bring the original esn back, I could take it from there also.
-Thanks

What rom are you using? Have you tried to update your profile and prl?

Yeah, sounds like you have a Verizon prl or you are roaming, try updating it.

Or, a Sprint PRL with enabled roaming.
Don't have the phone with me but a basic recovery rom (forgot the name) while rooting, updated to mikg sense rom, downgraded radios, flashed then received those issues, did a recovery from nand back up, issues still there. I'm not home yet, but i'll try to update the prl. I also thought it was one if those you guys stated. The other forum thinks that I screwed a middle step up and gave me some software( haven't tried it yet). But i'll update later.

I believe that you are correct it's running off of roaming. Don't know why I get verizon error though.. But sadly I found where I went wrong. I fcked a middle step up. Only 9/10 of the data successfully transfered to the device for some reason. My rls log shows that my esn(hex) is zero'd out. That means that the other ways involving esn to restore are now deemed useless, unless there is a way involving org. Hex or dex. I would try rewriting locations using old esn &meid locations but didn't write the esn down . Any guidance from here?

once you write the MEID, I have always had it write the ESN for me, I have never had to restore the ESN personally. But there is a website out there that will figure out your ESN based off of your MEID. google it cause I do not remember the name of it off of the top of my head.
Yes, I was working with different software than I usually use. But yes I found a meid converter early. I now know my esn and will try to do it manually the way I stated above.

If someone could use the QPST software to make a backup of what the e4gt has inside the device.. since i flashed a file in the wrong slot of odin i have had so many problems.. currently my phone can make phone calls, text(no MMS) and connect to 4g but if i dont have 3g. it also says it needs to be activated yet i can still receive and make calls. i think it is something i did with qpst when i had to put the meid numbers back into the phone and somehow changed some other stuff.. you can remove any personal info(phone number, username, etc) but i just need to know what to do to get this back working properly.
i thought about using a pit file in odin but not sure if that would even help in my situation.
ok so just got finished talking to sprint and got my msid and msl back to what they were supposed to be. now i just need to figure out what else i changed in qpst. if someone could use qpst and save the file from there phone(take out msl, msid and phone number) then i could just put my information there and be good to go... PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME do this
Try updating profile usually any problems with connecting to the network or the I'd of your phone to the network will be fixed. I if not review your steps on what you did in qpst and try to find out what you may have changed.

No nees to pit.
I swear I responded to this already. Hm.
What does settings/about_phone/status say your MSID is. It may be the problem. If it is not a number clise to your phones number call sprint and ask for it. They will tell you how.
Other options: a reprovision, as suggested.
##72786# is a DSA reset. It may help force a reprovision.
If all else fails, back up EVERYTHING and do a ##786# as a last resort. It will work, but has risks.
You will need your MSL for my suggestions unless you make an anycut/nova/apex activity shortcut to com.android.sprintmenu/ SCRTN (i think. Its the only one that looks like that)
Good luck

Thats usually the default.. i used 000000 as my msl in qpst to flash prl 11119. If not theres an app on the market and other ways to get your real msl.. the guy above was speaking about your MSID.. sometimes its the same as your number but a lot of times different.. but if your msid is wrong on the device it will cause all kinds of problems

Again the person stated could be MSID.. im not talking about tye MSL.. MSID/MIN is a ten digit number.. its needed to provision the phone correctly.. if he messed up his MSID/MIN in QPST then he needs to find his and correct it..
MSL is like a SEC or sublock code needed for the device to change certain things.. default is normally 000000. If that doesnt work you need to retrieve it from the device or from sprint. I dont think he could have wrote a prl to tye device if he didnt have the correct MSL thus he probably did something else wrong.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yeah ( i know, thats why I said he should check it. )
ADD: If it is MSID he could get it frim Sprint if he doesnt have it,
then, assuming a stock dialer, could ##(puthisMSL)# and enter MSID manually.
Is MSID one of the ten thousand number sequences on the box¿
I think its MAC, MEID etc

No.. mac and meid are on there.. msid wouldnt be because its assigned by sprint.. the meid is tied to the device.. msid/min and the telephone number are assigned by sprint.. for example if you change your telephone number your msid is likely to change but in some instances it will remain what it was before.. if people are having issues like he described first thing you would want to check is the programming of the phone.. if the phone was manually programmed (qpst in this case) he could have messed it all up lol.. thats why in the prl threads it says dont do it if your not sure what it is.. qpst has lots of tools in it.. he could have done a number of things wrong if directions werent followed to a T.. either way hope he gets it working right lol

Good call. I'm just so used to having it all written down that I forget about the right way. Oh, so many networks... neatly written (gf..) it'll come in handy some day... for instance if someone's IP were banned and they wanted access anyway.... or something

I have a samsung r720 and have never been on the cricket network before, how else could iget this info. Ive downloaded qpst but it asks for a serial which i dont have. I only have the imei number. I dont use the networks, cant i just make something up.
Cracked screen--Bought replacement--Dies when I swap
I have a black SPH-D710 on Sprint. I cracked the screen, so I bought a white replacement on eBay without the battery or most of the guts.
I took the phone apart and swapped the screens and reconnected the boards and it powers up great... except that I have no service. If I connect back to the cracked screen, it powers up great and I get great service. I was hoping for a quick and dirty swap, but it seems like there must be some code in the screen-side circuit board that is foiling my attempt. I found this video [goo.gl/YNLZE -- xda won't let me post links, yet] where the guy seems to suggest that my problem is the IMEI, but I don't have the first clue about trying to find that in the old part and moving it to the new one, if that's even the problem.
Ideas?
I picked up a used Evo 4G recently only to find the previous owner had it flashed to MetroPCS.
As far as I can tell I've got it all back on the Sprint network but still having some problems, example, it'll only call out or receive voicemail when roaming. I want to take it to the Sprint store but the banner says "MetroPCS".
I need to know exactly what the default Sprint banner says so I can fix it up before taking it in.
The device is showing my @sprintpcs email address, downloaded the latest PRL (60687).
I didn't know what the MSL was and didn't use cdma-workshop because on two different systems with two different antivirus software it came up as Malware. I set it to 000000 using a guide I found but could do with knowing what it should be. (Is the MSL unique to me as a customer, if so would I be able to find it from my Moment phone maybe?)
Anyway, the main thing is the banner. If I can set this then it'll be half the battle.
TIA.
P.S. Why wouldn't this be reset after a factor reset? Is there a code that will literally wipe everything or am I missing something that I need?
I think it didn't reset because its a radio thing, not software. Not the smartest on carrier flashing things though.

Post 1 and use the 3rd download link for the PRI, baseband and WIMAX.
Flash it and see if that fixes the issue.
Thanks for the link. I have to leave in 10 minutes so I'm not going to have time. I have tried to get into recovery before (hold down volume while powering on) but it doesn't seem to work for me so I need to look around and see what I'm missing. If Sprint can't help then I'll give this a go.
They did tell me they had a service outage in this area so I'll try on my way home.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Make sure fastboot is off in settings, and once that is off, pull out battery and put back in then try again. Or get quickboot or something from the play store.

Thanks for the posts. Sprint was saying that they couldn't get it to receive a signal so they'll just replace it for me. That $8 a month that I've been paying forever finally pays off!
So i finally got the computer to communicate with the phone and all the proper drivers installed. I loaded up my configuration file from my old phone for qpst. There was no signal at all, after messing around with some settings I finally got a signal and the 3G icon, however upon trying to make a call to cricket to activate the phone its giving me the message as if the phone is roaming like im out of state. I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to take a look at my qpst config file and see whats set wrong, I originally used the config file from this site for cricket and it worked great. now its not. please message me so i can email you the config file as i dont have access nor am i signed up to a hosting site.
heres the info on my phone:
Hardware version: 0004
Android version:2.3.5
Baseband version 2.15.00.01.15
Kernal version:2.6.35.10-g8b16b68 htc-kernal....
Build number:5.07.651.6 CL558861 release-keys (apparently the previous owner did an OTA but from what ive read since the update didn't change the hboot nothing should be affected by this)
Software number 5.07.651.6 710RD
PRI version: 42900
Also upon clicking on phone identity current username is the previous owners [email protected] and not what is displayed in qpst when i click on read from phone.
*EDIT* fixed this using ##3282# phone is still jacked up
The only other thing i can think of is that my new phone has yet to been activated but i wouldn't think this would matter, unless cricket gives me a new MIN number for my new phone.
I'm so confused
btw ive tried 7 different prls some hybrid but most of them not hybrid, ive tried nation wide roaming prls and non roaming prls. heres the list ive tried.
3510
45513
4697
1050
42900
45722
10900
at best i got welcome to verizon.
As I advised you on a previous thread. Join cricket users forum. They have dozens of cricket prls that will get you going. Once you get a welcome to cricket do an update *228 or *22804 it will give you the latest cricket prl in your area. Although you might find better signal download speeds with other prls.

no your MIN stays the same as long as your account and number are still the same. Have you already called cricket and given them the MEID number of the evo that you want to activate? also which rom are you using? its really hard to tell exactly where the problem is without seeing what settings you've used when you set it up in qpst.

I used the config file available for download off these forums, I googled qpst configuration file download n I think xda forums with the cricket config file was the first link, there's a few other cricket files available for download as well in that post as well. No I haven't called cricket yet to activate the phone but I don't see how activation would make the phone get out of roaming and go from Verizon to cricket towers, it never mattered before. I am using the stock Rom for now.
*edit* i switch to cyanogen mobile 4.0 rom as my phone got caught in a bootloop for some weird reason. fortunatly i rooted it and had smelkus's recovery loaded so everything should be fine now as far as the bootloop goes.
i'm going to try and activate the phone with cricket tomorrow and see if that solves the issue, i never had to activate before completing a flash in the past and dont understand how that would make the phone stop roaming on verizon towers but if this is the fix at lest someone else with the similar problem will have a fix, at the expense of me feeling incredibly stupid.
phone is now activated on crickets network and still roaming on verizon :-/
something i did notice is on the CDMA 2 tab which the tutorials dont mention is the spot where the MIN would go, (IMSI_S) there is a number there which im guessing was something from the previous owner of the phone, i tried putting my MIN there and in the CDMA tap I put my MIN in the same spot, but it seems to revert back to this other number. I also tried replacing it with all zeros. that didn't help either.
Im pretty sure i just need a correct prl. I have search throughout google and multiple forums for an phoenix arizona specific prl and any links to them are broken. I can now get the phone on the cricket network with zero bars, (using a nationwide standard prl) once in a while itll jump up to 2 bars but disappear before i can dial *228. If anyone has a phx az prl id like to give it a shot.
So I recently bought a Sprint Note 2 that was flashed to Ntelos. (dirt cheap). I was going to use it on Ntelos because thats my current carrier, but the person that had it Left it attached to his prepaid account. So now I need to bring it back to sprint and have no clue how to do so. Does anybody know or can tell me where to look? I'm running out patience looking for answers
I don't think you can. But the way I lost my flash was Odin back to stock. At least that worked on the s3

Please pardon me if this sounds dumb, but I am a newbie... I too have a Sprint Note 2. It used to be flashed to boost mobile. Now it's been flashed back to stock sprint ROM using file links and instructions right here in these forums. From what I gather, you want to go back to sprint? It's really simple. You do have the original MEID & Id ETC. right? Should be behind the battery when you remove it. I have successfully got my phone back to STOCK Sprint. It's really easy to do using TWRP and stock Sprint ROM files and DFS (there are others)...But these were the ones (programs) I used.. Read and read some more. Be patient (easier said than done..lol) you'll get it...It CAN be done...

I hope so. lol. The goofball that had it before me flashed it to ntelos and left it on the account not used, but still attached. Actually made it difficult to sell as a ntelos phone, but I have some time today to play around with it today. I was told by sprint it needs a flash back to sprint. Sad part I have no fricken clue who flashed it to begin with it that way
Well first check the sticker underneath the battery. Have you verified it can be brought back tp sprint? If its ok on sprints end using the numbers on the back then you can move further. Let us know so we can direct you.

Everything is correct. It can be activated on sprint. Ive already checked that multiple times
Ok well now you need to write the info from the sticker to the phone. You can use cdma workshop or dfs. Either program will work. You can also look at guides made for boost mobile. You can follow the guide. Instead of a donor phone you use the sticker info. Instead of changing your mmsc to boost you would change it to sprints. Either way get your msl first just in case. Use msl reader from the playstore. If it cannot read it push home. Then go to your dialer and push in ##3282# it will ahow a screen saying view or edit. Push edit. Enter a random 6 digit code. It doesnt matter what it is. It will give an error. Push home and hold it until recent tasks come up. Go to msl reader again and read the code again. It should give it to you this time.

Msl is "000000" I tried some today with no luck. Everything failed in odin. Now i'm searching again, because its either odin mode or "firmware encountered a issue. Recovery from kies and try again. But it doesnt connect to kies. Actually wount connect even before I got started.
Got the phone back on. Still on Ntelos, so now I'm back to searching on how to remove this carriers flash. Nothing I've tried has worked
Hey guys I've got a similar problem. I got a note 2 and I'm wanting to flash it to boost but I haven't been able to read the HA/AAA keys. I did a reset ##786# to remove the old sprint account and downgraded to the LJC radio but I still get the access denied error for Nv_read on 466 and 1192. Also if I call 611 I get Ntelos wireless customer service and I'm kinda lost on what to do.
I didnt feed anyone lies. I have seen it done before. On my last phone. The epic touch 4g. If it doesnt work on this phone then thats too bad. I have never needed to flash a phone to another carrier.

In all fairness I have flashed a E4GT to an MVNO and back.
Google Chris41g's Epic to Boost steps. Follow the steps in there to change back your MEID only.
Flash a stock rooted restore - in this case I'll suggest MC2 rooted restore. This sets proper CSC info.
Turn phone on and ##72786#. Let HFA go through its steps.
LTE I can't say anything on since E4GT didn't have it.
The reason I did this way is because HFA will pull the HA/AAA keys and set the profile back on its own.
You only have to do it manually when flashing to MVNO because you can't use HFA.
Sorry but that's all the details I can mention on this thread - PM with any additional questions.
