I need to brick my phone

The short version is my phone is not working worth a damn. Will not connect to data, even while on my airave. Is dropping calls and just generally being a jerk. Sprint says nothing is wrong with the device and will not replace it, even though I have insurance.
I am currently on Calks v2.9.1 - Kernel is 2.6.35.14-rogue_ET-1.4.1+ and the EL29 Modem.
I have tried to recreate the steps to hard brick my phone but have failed. Can anyone help as I am going out of town tomorrow and really need my phone to reliably work.

Do you have these problems if your running stock

from what I understand if you flash ICS/CM9 and then try to flash back--or format, or perhaps anything at all--with a recovery+ICS kernel combo that there is a high chance of brick.
...I'm not so sure that I agree with your plan though...but that's easy for me to say, my phone works 100% and Sprint never gives me any ****.

Oops...forgot to add that yes I do. Phone was reset to stock and applied all OTA updates before I went to the Sprint store yesterday. I restored my nandroid because I forgot to save text messages that I needed.

Well if you wanted to go the insurance route they wont deny anything when the phone is at the bottom of a lake... or so you told them where its at and with the battery having been out since the incident... nothing to say about it.
But it shouldn't come to that if its defective. Have you tried returning to stock or stock rooted firmware first to investigate the problem? I mean if youve tried hard bricking id figure you have been there as well?

Flash an ICS rom, flash a kernel repack that has rouge recovery, then use rouge to flash back to a gingerbread rom. That almost guarantees a brick.

Do you just mean one of the ICS Leaks and when flashing back to GB should I just flash a stock or would Calks suffice. I just ask because I have it on my SD card already.

Just flash roms for other phones, almost instant brick.

or use the touch based recovery or pull battery when flashing a modem through odin

Isn't purposely bricking your phone to get a replacement considered fraud?

Probably, but I guess I could say the same of posts i've seen where they bricked to get a white one.

Try to find a GSM sgs2 radio and flash it in recovery, that'd do the trick.

This sounds fishy. If your phone really cannot connect to data (even while on stock), that is a clear problem. They HAVE to fix it. I would not brick it either... they might be able to figure out that YOU did that.
If they continue to give you grief, contact Samsung support directly.

It connects to data, it just drops constantly and shows I have no connection. Of course it doesn't do it when I am standing in the store but that is just my luck with the store in my town.

Get a video of it. Or stay in the store until it happens. Download a big file or something while you are there. This should be pretty easy to replicate if it really is as bad as you say. Also, have you tried a radio update? PRL and profile update? NVRAM reset?

I did a ##786# reset with my MSL and it still is spotty. I really don't know what the cause is. It started doing it a few days ago and is getting on my last nerve.
I just reset it to complete stock again. Going to go talk to the store manager and see what can be done before I brick it again. It is just getting old.

maybe a tower is out in your area. Also, when I am in fringe service areas the weather has a very big impact on signal propagation. Even if it is a clear day but very very humid....though that wouldn't explain your air-rave at all.
EDIT: I just got an idea....upload the 00001.PRL (verizon 3G) and see how it performs (without the air-rave even being plugged in)...if all is well there is something wrong on Sprint's end....

If it doesn't do it at the store, it is unlikely the problem is with the phone hardware.

Can receive calls but not make them

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.

I did actually use that right before I flashed Calk's E4GT rom and I had no luck with it either Probably should've mentioned that.

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.
Thanks for the help guys

Having the same issue as well today. Tried powering down, chatted w sprint, still having issues. Don't think it has to do with build or rom as I have been on just about everything since I had mine.

Exact same issue here too. Started yesterday morning. Have not had a chance to test it out today. Sister's iPhone works fine with the airave. Seems only my phone is affected for some reason. Spirit said they would get back to me in 72 hours. Hope the issue is resolved soon. Using Grooveip to make calls in the meantime.

Four people in the house on my plan and no-one has mentioned any issues with the airave other than the spamming txt issue sometimes.

Update: mine just started working again. Last night I reset the box by pressing the reset button for 15 seconds, still having issues after it reset through this morning. Sometime in the last hour it has become fully functional again. Weird.

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.

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#*#*

Edit: You're putting that into the phone dialpad right?

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.

All of a sudden MMS will not download or send when wifi is on?! Wtf.

Hey folks. So, I was running Calkulins EL 29 2.9.2 Gingerbread ROM. I have never had any problems sending and receiving MMS when Wifi is on. However, all of a sudden, it now fails to download or send when WiFi is turned on. I have to shut off Wifi to receive or send. This is a major inconvenience as everyone knows the Epic 4G Touch can tend to have a lazy 3g radio and will give up on big MMS pictures too easily, unlike some other smartphones i have owned.
I have wiped, flashed other ROMS and am having the same issue. Please note I did NOTHING, just woke up one morning and it completely stopped working. I didn't mess with dialer codes, ect. Can anyone point me in the direction of what I need to do? Do I need to do some dialer data resets? I have tried ##3282# however cannot find an option to do a restore settings or anything like that like I could on my Evo 3D. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Hey Paul. Gotta love Sprint .
I just had to do this because my phone calls kept going to voicemail. Reflash the modem and update your profile & prl. If that doesn't work, try reprovisioning the phone. I wrote this method up, follow it very closely... :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26131653&postcount=4244

I appreciate this info, but unfortunately it did not let me send MMS with Wifi on. I wonder if Sprint did something behind the scenes that I cannot do anything about..

Has anything changed with your wifi? Also, have you had an opportunity to try a different wifi connection yet?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

Not that I am aware, just tried the open hotspot across the yard and still no go. I wasnt able to do the MSID walkthrough, I am using PhantomHackers ICS rom, the code just didnt do anything in the dialer, but ##72876# or whatever it was did work.

I thought you were still on GB . Since you just flashed the phone anyway, why not just one click back to stock rooted to see what happens. I'm running out of suggestions btw LOL.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

Oh, I was on GB when I wrote the thread, then I flashed some ICS afterwords to see if a wipe to something new would make a difference.

Regular SMS is groovy. Weird, huh?

Check out this page in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527041&page=423
There are some suggestions there as well. I knew I had seen this but it's been a while since anyone has had this particular problem.

You are not alone my friend. Same annoying hiccup here. Mms send also acting shotty. Could be network. Not sure if sprints website/system going down earlier today has something to do with it. I went with my bro to local sprint store for upgrade earlier today, thats how I found out about sprints problems today.

Weird. It seems to be working again after like 200 reboots... That is, it's working on my stock rooted Photon. I'll check my wife's SGS2E4GT tomorrow AM and report back.
Something that strikes me as super weird: The proxy for MMS (##DATA#) is mms.sprintpcs.com. But it looks like Network Solutions has parked a temp site there as if the domain is expired. The whois looks fine. The port for the proxy is 80, the same as what my browser would try.

You guys arent alone....just happened to me to today...after 3 days of VERY weird/weak reception. My signal on EL29 modem would go up and down.. from full bars to absolutely NONE, and come back again. I dont know if its the freakin 'solar flares' that we have been experiencing.....cuz i remember sometime last year i had horrible reception when we had those solar flares again........

i'm having the same issues too but only noticed after flashing the wicked sensations & phantom ICS roms. reverted/restored back to calk's 2.9.1 el29 and it still doesn't work over wifi. i've tried rebooting & updating profile/prl with no luck. how do i fix this?

Same thing here and I changed nothing on my phone. Has to be a Sprint issue.

There are a bunch of reports of Sprint issues. I've had multiple denied sms and had to retry. My partner has a rooted Evo and he's having trouble placing phone calls. Someone else here reported a quirk in reported dns for the Sprint messaging server(s) and someone else reported using the SetDNS app to make changes and that seemed to improve their problem. Of course, the Sprint helpdesk is denying everything. Guess we'll have to wait it out.

This must be a Sprint issue for sure, mms is sending over wifi for me again.

mine still doesn't work of wifi

No 4G/3G

Ugh! So where do I begin.. First of all I am running the MOAR most updated version in the OP. Have been for a while. Haven't been able to update PRL/Profile in I don't how long. So I like to here and there to make sure all is well. Anyway today I started messing with it and I used some secret code I found in the MOAR thread for hands free activation. Well, that went south since I am unable to update PRL/Profile. Then I called Sprint and she got the hands free activation off. I was still unable to update PRL/Profile after that. I went ahead and downloaded the latest MOAR and wiped EVERYTHING!! Then flashed the MOAR. I am not sure exactly when the 4G/3G problems started to happen. I am thinking before I flashed the ROM again. But anyway in a nutshell I I can not still update PRL/Profile. Gives me internal error and now I have no 4G/3G. Sprint wanted me to call them on another phone and I assume to deactivate my phone and reactivate it or something idk. I remember one time my sister had this issue and I was in the phone 5 minutes and it was back. IDK why I am having such a issue.

I had the same issue on my first flasb. Forcing hands-free activation fixed it
##72786# in the dialer
EDIT: Make sure you're connected to wifi when you do it.

Right. That did fix it although after I still was unable to update PRL/Profile. But right now I am having an issue with no 3G/4G. Sprint said it could be a hardware issue with my antenna which I find hard to believe. I am downloading another ROM now and see if that works any better. Not sure what else to do. I don't have 50$ and I am not trying to pay for it. I find it hard to believe that my antenna is just not working. Although I was on the phone with her for 50 minutes and it seemed like we tried everything I just don't want to give up.

Odin back to full stock... Usually clears up lots of issues. You can reroot and flash moar again.

Is odin back to stock difficult? I would think it would be easy since to root is fairly simple. I am going to keep downloading this ROM. Then go back to stock and see if that works.
EDIT: So on my second call to Sprint today this guy said I need Sprint Zone and I need to activate my phone. Having our phones rooted I did not have this app. Thankfully I seen it posted so I put it in my DB and installed it and it installed but the app was no where to be found. I even flashed the app pack and installed it same issue. Then I called Sprint two more times just to come to the conclusion that my phone antenna could be defected. Which would cost me 50$. Anyway, I thought it was something else I could do. Sitting here downloading a ROM on my phone and on my laptop going to thread to thread. Hangout convo to hangout convo I see the status of the download. Well what do you know Sprint Zone is updating. So I updated it and it opened. Said my phone was not activated. So I activated it, phone restarted and I have 4G LTE and I went to the browser and it works. Finally caught a break. Thanks guys!! @edfunkycold @CNexus
