I have an evo 4g on Sprint, HW rev 3. Was originally running CM9, but that's irrelevant to this problem...
So, I tried to update my radio last week. The first attempt broke the radio -- it was a bad download, I guess. I was able to get a new one over using RA recovery and successfully flash.
I got into a Sense rom, then had no data. Tried profile reset, no luck. Tried ##RTN# reset, no luck. Every time, the phone activates successfully and I can make calls, but data isn't provisioned and I can't get 3G data (4G works fine). Error 67 all over the place, even when trying to update profile.
After tons of research, I found out that it was not authenticating to the 3G network even on Profile 0. Here's the punchline: Using QXDM I read out my AAA secret, it is all zeros! NV positions 465, 466, 1194, and 1196 all read back as zero. Somehow they got wiped.
Is there any way to recover these on my own? If not, can Sprint reset the NV registers to something useful?
Reprovision the data services.
##rtn#
It forces hands free activation.

I purchased 2 Sprint TP's and reprogrammed them to work on the Verizon network. Both work for voice but only one can access the internet and I can not figure out what is wrong with the other phone. I am new to cell phone programming so my knowledge is very basic. I followed instructions contained on PPCGEEKS at http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=44663. I am using the stock VZW ROM, I've set the MIP according to instructions but when I try to connect at 1X with the one phone I get a message saying "error, network problem, dialing #777". I have tried to do a hard reset but can not do it for some reason so I have reinstalled the VZW ROM a couple of times and setup the programming according to the instructions on PPCGEEKS but I get the same error. What can I do to make this work? The MIP is retained when I reinstalled the ROM-I wonder if I could erase the MIP and redo it if that might not fix the problem. I do not know how to erase it of course. I have spent all weekend trying to get this to work and I really need help.
Thanks
p.s. I got the phone to work finally-not sure why but here is what I did. I found some software on the phone that would do a hard reset at settings/memory/clear storage tab-good stuff to use. I then verified with Verizon that my account was setup correctly. Then I put the old phone back on the network and tried to access data on it and it worked ok so I then put my TP back on the network. Evidently when I did this, it rewrote some information that it was not writing before to the Verizon computers when I did *228 3 because I was then able to get data to work on 1X. After that it works fine. It took me forever to figure this out so hopefully this message will save someone time in the end.

Hi. I just got an evo from someone and unfortunately they had upgraded the system to 2.2 froyo ota. so right now the phone is stuck on digital roaming and there is no way for me to update the prl. I already tried with cdma workshop ver 3.5.5 paid, Qpst 2.7 build 355. on cdma workshop it says the new prl has been writen but the phone stays on roaming so is not writing the prl to the phone. on qpst it's giving me roaming list receive failed and it's failing to retrieve the phone's information. I also tried to update the prl from the phone settings but that's also failing. if anyone has any ideas please feel free to post them so I can try them thanks.
I was able to downgrade to 2.1 and root the phone using the new method but unfortunately my prl still says version 00000 and I'm still roaming anyone else has had this problem with the prl showing zero's and unable to change it.
Ok. Guys here is what i have tried so far. Cdma workshop. Qdxm qpst unicdma and ##775# to try to update the prl and all of there programs say the prl was successfully updated but once i check the prl version is 00000. Now i have 2 phones with the same issue, one working on sprint and the other on boost mobile i get all my phones from craigslist .. One of the phones became stuck on roaming after trying to repair meid with cdma workshop.. I have tried with several different prls. Tried to copy all the nv items from another evo that is not roaming but nothing helps i know the nam config is good because i compared with the evo that is working.. Everything on the phones work i'm able to make calls, mms,web browsing the only thing is that 3g is extremely slow and that i have the triangle on top of the signal bars..and on boost mobile once i drive a couple of blocks from my house and try to make a call it says verizon wireless your feature update was sucessfull and i'm not able to call until i return home. I'm sure the prl on these phones got corrupted somehow.. How can i repair a corrupted prl..i have done a least 10 android phones incredible, samsung moment,htc evo for family and friends and this is the first time i have ran into this issue.. If anyone knows ho to get rid of this corrupted prl please help me.. Also i have access to a couple of good evos and cdma workshop 3.6 i would like to try and copy the flash from the good working evo and put it on one of these with the corrupted prl but i have not been successful trying..thanks guys for all your help..
I'm assuming you have done the easy way already... ##786# for a factory reset, then battery out while the phone is at the white evo screen the SECOND time... leave the battery out for 15-30 minutes... battery in and power it on to boot. Should reactivate, update PRI if it needs it, and also update PRL. It is a factory wipe, but in your case, that should be no problem.
I am currently running my Evo on Boost Mobile. I managed to get phone calls and text messages, but continue to not receive data. I have tried ##786# & Reset, and also ##3282# data profiile Restore. I have notice that my MEID is wrong, and am not sure if that is why the Data is not working? I tried changing the MEID with QXDM, but when I try to write the MEID. I keep getting "requestnvitemwrite - Error response from target". Not sure how to get my data working.
where did you get your phone flashed?????
i didnt manually flash my phone i got it done at a store. from what i remember the phone provisioned itself for data(3g)
the meid should be incorrect...i think the two methods of flashing them include changing the MEID, or zeroing it out.
if u paid to have it done i would go there to have it redone.
restoring the phone from the stock 2.1 rom should clear any errors u have connecting the phone. hope this helps a little
I flashed the phone myself, and managed to get it to work. As I said DATA (Internet) is not working. I downgraded to:
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: 1.39.00.04.26
Build Number: 1.32.651.1.1
Software Number: 1.32.651.1
PRI Version: 2.15_003
PRL Version: 60662
But still couldn't zero out my MEID or enter the correct one?
Still able to make calls & receive text messages.
Did you reset the phone after the down grade to the shipped stock rom or before ?

I RESET after downgrade & tried to write correct MEID, but continue to get write error in QXDM. Still receiving calls and text messages.
I'm not getting 3G speeds on my Evo. Any ideas? Is that why data isn't working.

did u happen to rip the nv items and AAA password stuff from the donor phone.. i know that i whats required for 3g and dont think it provisions itself..on a stock rom even 1x data shows up as 3g too :/ ....i just skipped and went with clear so my phone jumps from 1x to 4g to wifi! lmao
After i flashed the Starburst v1.7 I have no 3G? Speed tests are: Ping 1910ms, Down-15kbps up-51kbps
I've been getting those speeds during the evening ever since the 4s went on sale.
If you know your msl, dial ##debug#, enter the msl, click evdo and look at the bottom at the AN-AAA. If it says pass then that means you are authenticated. Probably means Sprint is slow.
mine says none
How do I authenticate?

AN-AAA says "none" Anyone know how to get my 3G back working?

Never saw none before. It should be pass or fail. Did you do an ESN repair on this phone and forget to program your account name and passwords? If not, Odin a stock firmware.
You could try to dial ##72786#, which will erase everything and you will need to reprovision your phone. Going to the sprint site and swapping phones and swapping back and reprovisioning could help.
You could always punt and flash back to stock and seek help at a sprint store. Look up DYI USB jig so you can reset the Odin counter. It's a micro USB adapter and a 301kohm resistor jumpered across two pins.
Mine says Fail next to AN-AAA.. I'm on Starbust 1.8 and Stock Pulled w/CWM kernel. Guess I'll flash back to stock and see what it says. But I never had great 3G (or 4G) before this ROM either.

Flashing back may not fix it, it's a provisioning issue. Try system/about phone/ updates/update provision. You may have to call sprint or go to a store. It is fixable. I just had a similar problem but for a different reason.
i would wipe data and cache format system n wipe dalvik n reinstall 1.8
Another thing you can look at is dialing ##data#, select edit, select white box and enter msl. Select data profile.
Username should be your sprint email address. [email protected]
Device ip 0.0.0.0
Primary ha ip 255.255.255.255
Secondary 68.28.57.76 (at least on my phone)
Ha password is secret (yes the word secret in lower case). This is used to setup the encryption for the key exchange. This hidden and you can not see it.
Aaa password is used actually to login to the network. It is phone specific and changes every time your phone is provisioned. It is hidden also. I would not change the aaa password change unless you know it. You probably need todo a hex dump to get this, newer phones prevent QPST, qxdm or CDMA workshop from seeing it.
If the first 4 items I mentioned are different try the above values. Avoid changing the the last two I mentioned.
There are a couple other things you can check with QPST and CDMA workshop but if you are not doing anything illegal, normal provisioning would fix them.
Last night (in bed), I did a nand backup and then the following and check AN-AAA after each...
1. Restored my stock rom nand (includes LostKernel). AN-AAA passed.
2. Factory Reset, installed fresh Starburst 1.8. AN-AAA passed.
3. Installed StockCWM5 kernel AN-AAA passed.
4. Restored by backup from above (SB1.8 w/StockCWM5). AN-AAA failed.
5. Format system and re-installed Starburst 1.8, AN-AAA Passed
So, just re-installing Starburst 1.8 seemed to fix it.
Still had AN-AAA Passed this morning after getting to work (we have bad signal here) and 3G was working at about 300kpbs. However, I just checked again and it say's failed again and 3G is not working. Will look at it when I leave the building.
gedster314, those settings looked the same for me, except the 3rd octet of the secondary address was different. It was 177.
Followup to last post...
I left the building where I should have better 3G signal. Still showed "failed" on AN-AAA. Tried several things.. rebooted, wiped dalvik, wiped cache, resintalled SB1.8, then all those things together with a /system format. Nothing helped, still said "Failed". By this time, I had reached where I was to have lunch, which incidentally is in a VERY good signal area (I635 & MacArthur near Dallas).
Even though AN-AAA still showed failed, I did a speed test on 3G and got back 1115kbps down and 600kpbs up. That's the best 3G speeds I've ever seen on this phone. That area also gives me about 12000kpbs down on 4G. (everywhere else I get about 1/5 to 1/10 of those speeds).
So, I don't see how 3G reception is at all dependant on AN-AAA pass/fail.
Now after starburst 1.8 install im getting LOS for the first time and still crap internet speeds. Guess I'm bailing on this rom. Can't seem to get any help on the strarburst thread.

I can get talk and text to work only by putting in the MDN & MIN manually. I have tried ##72786# and it wiped all my nam settings clean but kept pageplus data profile in tact. I tried replacing all the [email protected] with MEID(hex)@hcm.sprintpcs.com still no luck.
I tried: 61007.prl 60670.prl 01115.prl and still no OTA Profile Updating or PRL Updating.
I have a Note 2 and you don't need a working data profile to Handfree Activate it works over WiFi. I tried wifi on this epic and it disables itself right away requiring that 3G data.
I have teamviewer, qpst, and dfs installed if someone is willing to take a crack at it. I just wasted over 12 hours on this.
