[Q] flashed epic - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

HELP..I flashed my epic touch to cricket and everything was fine with codename ROM, But now i need to change the number...still on cricket...but the cricket store tells me i need to fully re flash for all services to work?...that cant be right can it?...please tell me there is some thing i can do? ( to just transfer the new number over and get data and all other services running?

You'll need qxdm qpst and the proper settings. Start by learning how to read the current settings from the phone. Do lots of searching the Internet.
Once you can read the settings it'll be sorta self explanatory what needs to go where.

Do I just download it and install it and it is fixed? If so do I download it and put into a certain file and just click on it? What does it do? After I do whatever does it just automatically fix everything or is there something I need to do to make all work right?

using a different carrier?

Hello all I just have a quick question
I have htc evo w/ cm7 on it now with no service - I am thinking about taking the phone to revol to get service with them on it- they say they have to flash it.
So my question is once they do flash it is there anyway i can get the provider programming data out of it with like bitpm/qpst/cdma workshop and edit it?
also if i make a nandroid backup before i give it to revol does that also back up the provider settings?
I'm on linux and I think the only thing available to me is bitpim but I could use a windows pc somewhere i guess.
If this is an easy question please tell me what I should be googling for, I am pretty proficient in working on these things and use to be able to do something like this a long time ago before android with hex edits and programming menus /bitpim/qpst/cdma workshop Im just not sure where to go on android yet
Much appreciated!

I flashed my evo using qpst/cdma workshop, works great and nandroid does not backup up your provider setting. I have formatted, erased did all to to the phone and the settings are always the same. After your phone had been detected by qpst, go to "START CLIENTS" and choose software download under the drop down menu and go to the backup tab and do a backup. If u make any mistakes while using qpst, U can always go back and restore the original settings.

CDMA Desire fully flashed to Cricket.

just wanna let everyone know that i have fully flashed the CDMA HTC Desire to cricket with everything working, sending/recieving mms, and all apps access internet fine, using tokens flash, and conaps edited mms apk.
i have not seen ANY posts ANYWHERE that said if this phone was even able to be flashed, so i figured i would let everyone know it is, also i am running the latest cyanogenMod rom
This great news! I was considering buying a HTC Desire and flashing over to cricket since I'm able to get it for a good price.
Can you explain how you flashed it?? and what carrier was under the HTC desire?
pm'd you, if i didnt put it clear enough(i didnt go to much into detail cause i figure you know how to flash roms/rooting) i will break it down alittle more if needed. and the phone originally was nex-techwireless.
I just bought a used Desire from eBay with the intention of flashing it to Cricket. Could you PM me the instructions as well? It would be most appreciated.

Well I managed to root and flash a new rom, but I'm still having trouble to how to flash it over to cricket.
you must have a sense rom flashed in order for the diag mode to work. if you already flashed another rom flash one of these as a temp, and once the settings have been made you are free to flash another rom.

first root the device with unrevoked, once its rooted download qpst(i use build 366)
now after thats download and installed you need to download the htc diag drivers and put your phone into diag mode(its either ##diag, ##diag#,##diag*... it starts with 2 # followed by diag just not sure of the last symbol) once its in diag mode plug it in and the computer will instal drivers, wait for that to finish then go to device manager and manually update the htc drivers using the download htc diag drivers. after that is all done you must now open qpst configuration and click ports, then click add new port and add anything you see about your phone. now once thats done you need to click start clients and select service programming. and set all settings like in these pics http://s798.photobucket.com/albums/yy266/darkmage1991/ and dont forget to write a cricket prl i suggest this one http://www.4shared.com/file/we3VLGo_/42900.html (its a cricket sprint hybrid), once those are set push write to phone.
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=bravoc get the newest cyanogenmod build (7.0.3 atm) dont flash it until you get the qpst settings set in a sense rom. now download the cricket v10 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7261108&postcount=1 and flash it.
now download apn backup & restore, exfile explorer, and autostart off the market using wifi.
open your voice dialer and say "open proxy settings" once thats opened type in "wap.mycricket.com" and "8080" for the port #
now open apn back & restore and restore these apn's http://www.4shared.com/document/h5A_Izso/apns.html
Now we get to the part where we get MMS working, do this stuff you must open exfile explorer and make sure you mount as rewritable
Delete the mms.apk located in system/app
Drop the modifed mms.apk into system/app
Delete the telephony.db file located in data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
Drop the modified telephony.db in data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases (Be sure to rename the telephony.db file you downloaded back to telephony.db before dropping it back into data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases)
get the modifed mms and telephony here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968582
ok i think i got everything, if something is not working let me know i may have missed a step. and remember to thank all the people who created all those files for there hard work.
i know it seems like a lot of work but it really isnt, i redo my flash about every 5-10 days cause i cant decide what roms i like lol, and it only takes about a min to get it flashed again but you do not have to redo the qpst part only the downloading of autostart, ex, apn etc, and getting mms going
if you guys are like me and flash alot of roms, you will find some dont let mms to work, and other dont alow internet for apps to work(but internet for the stock browser will, this is due to iptables some dont support it) its just trial and error =P
and i suggest going over to 2fast4u.com and check out his AWESOME cdma roms for the desire his work is awesome and so far all his roms work fully on cricket
I have success of getting my 3G working .
However, i can't make calls lol.
And to add, The mms fix link is broken when i try to download: telephony.db.zip. can u post a different link for it?
Do you have to activate it to recieve calls or something?
(edit): i cant extract telephony.db.zip. Do i take the whole file and drop it? or do i extract it?
no dont extract it rename it to telephony.db (remove .zip)
My wish came true!!
Goood News, it works!!
I can recieve calls and text and web(even thought its kinda slow at the moment).
Everything is correct from the tutorial, its just i had to call cricket to register the HTC desire under my cricket account. Ugh... It was a long process but i got it .
No activation, it worked right after they register my MEID thiny from the back of my phone .
Sooo yeah, how can I speed up my 3G? Its slower than my Huawei ascend's 3G. :/
I still cant get MMS working -_-.
o wait, its cause your ascend was on the "android" plan paying 55 a month but flashed phones are only alowed to be on the 45 a month plan, and that plan requires the use of the proxy (wap.mycricket.com) and the proxy has a speed limit on it unlike the android plan.
and if someone actually let you stay on the 55 a month with the flashed phone, then that means internet shouldnt be working at all due to you installing autostart, and setting the proxy settings. something you can try is open your voice dialer and say "open proxy settings" and erase the info and see if the internet even works, if it works what uninstall autostart.
and mms requires the modified mms app, telephony.db, and the apn's to be set using apn backup and restore, if you did do all that redo it. use exfile explorer and go into /system/app and delete the mms.apk and paste the modified one in there, after that click and hold on it and go down to permissions and set it like this(the x's put a checkmark in leave the o's empty)
xxo (user)
xoo (group)
xoo (other
now do the same with the telephony.db, then open apn backup&restore and delete apn's then click restore and use the apn file linked.
Need Help
Hi guys, sorry to interrupt.
I've been on the net for quite some time now searching for a solution to my HTC Desire problem but this is the first time I come across people who seem to know what they're talking about!!
My HTC Desire was working fine for almost 5 months ( I bought it from a close friend who brought it from Romania). the phone is already rooted or flashed or what ever you call that, I get a Joker holding a card on which is written S-OFF and around the Joker is Written "Why so serious" when I turn on my phone (if that helps you know what ROM or Root the phone is equipped with...)
The thing is few weekes ago, the phone began turning off by itself, just like that and I had troubles rebooting it ( sometime it just keeps on rebooting all over again uncessefully, so i had to get the battery out, wait few minutes before hitting the power button again). the Camera and the Camcorder stopped working suddenly and the phone starts rebooting every 10 minutes max.
I tried to root it again with unreviked 3, it was working pretty fine until the program tried to rebbot my phone and the Mothef....r wouldn't reboot (original problem) so communication was lost and rebbot was uncessfull.
I installed the latest version of HTC sync from HTC web site, but it wouldn't detect my phone !!!!
So now, I wanna flash the existing ROM with THE ORIGINAL one, the HTC official one as if I just bought the phone from a store. Is it the Solution for my problem?? and if it is can you please explain to me what to do exactely in the process ( if you can explain the terms you use "cricket" "build 366"...)
I know it's a lot to ask but I would be greatfull if you could help.
Thanks.
Ill try it out. I was using my stock 2.2 froyo with sense instead of the cyanmod since i like the interface better. I was sending text through the sense rom but cant send any mms apparently.
Another problem that i came across cyanmod's latest rom is that it has no market place -_-'.
No luck :/.
Is there a rom where I can have working MMS? lol
As for the telephony file. I just realize I had to create all those directories for me to put the file in, could that be part of the reason why?
i believe i had to create it also the file goes in this directory /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db , as for working mms rom, cyanogen 7.0.3 works fine, i think you have something not set or wrong.
and for the other guy i would reroot and flash a cyanogenmod rom and see how it is. and make sure you choose the correct rom(gsm is for desire's with a sim card, cdma is for desires without a sim)
Thanks for the guide, while I won't be using it myself, I'm sure someone will. I'm trying to make a CDMA Guide thread so I might use it and link to it.
you dont need worry bout it , this guide is only for people that are wanting to flash the phone carrier to cricket from uscc or another carrier. so not much people need this info, and the people that do need it can find it with the search button like the last people have done.
USC Revert, HBOOT 1.06, and Carrier Text on Lock Screen
DM, thanks for all your work on this. Would you happen to have a .qpst settings file for US Cellular should someone decide to revert it back? Or perhaps a .qpst settings file for Cricket that just needs the DN changed where appropriate as indicated in your screenshots? That would be a great addition to this thread.
Second, I would like to comment here on how rooting via unrevoked did no work for me due to my phone having HBOOT 1.06. I had register for the beta for this program: revolutionary.io
That unlocked the bootloader for me an installed CW Recovery.
Third, I have been trying to get rid of the US Cellular on the lockscreen in CM 7.1 with no luck. Any suggestions? Carrier Name app: fail. CCName: has become deprecated. SQLite edit: custom_lock... record not in secure table as indicated on this thread: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/22493-bring-back-settings-location-security-show-custom-message
Finally, I would like to readdress the possibility of a phone reprogrammed for cricket not using the proxy. Has anyone tried this recently?
I think changing the value in build.prop is all.
Need help getting 3G data working
Okay, I was flashing this phone for my father-in-law for a Christmas gift, so I was finally able to get the ESN updated with Cricket to activate the phone. Phone calls work, SMS works, but 3G does not and neither does MMS.
3G is the only service that I am concerned with fixing at the moment, so I was wondering if anyone has some input on how I can troubleshoot the problem. I noticed that the Cricket guy put him on the $55 Android plan; is this part of the problem? Do I just need to not use Autostart and remove the proxy? Do I need different APN's than those provided?

need help flashing to cricket using linux

So I had my usb charging port detach from the board on my phone. I got a new one, (well used but new to me) and it was flashed to VERIZON but unrooted, bootloader locked, and s-on. On my computer at home i couldn't get the phone to communicate with the computer using windows 7 64 bit. I had flashed and rooted the old phone so I'm not exsactly new to this. For some weird reason I could not get the NEW phone to communicate with the computer with the same drivers from my old phone. I went to a different computer and the drivers loaded fine. however upon flashing the configuration file from my old phone, (a configuration file obtained off this forum, the qpst cricket configuration file) to the new phone using QPST the phone did not recive ANY service (cricket or verizon). I have no bars at all. upon reading the phone through QPST all the settings took to the phone but theres no service or 3g. After several attempts to load the configuration file to the phone at one point i had 2 bars light up briefly indicating that there was service then disappear and cant get service.
Would using linux to flash the phone help? I couldn't find anything on google or the search bar on here on how to use linux to flash the phone to cricket.
Only possible thing I can think of on why I cant get any service to this phone is i have yet to deactivate the old phone. is it possible cricket is blocking any service to this phone because the MIN is already registered to my old phone?
I know this post is kind of confusing so please let me know if theres any way I can clairify it.
Well using qpst on linux is not very easy. Windows is your best bet. Also to get full service cricket must change your service to your new phones esn. Or you have to clone the esn which xda does not allow us to talk about on their fourm due to legal reasons.
Now if you have everything set correctly you should be able to get data to work but sms, mms, and cell service is all linked to esn. If you are getting now bars I am willing to bet your prl needs to be changed.
I have flashed several Og evos and 3d evos. Along with doing the unmentionable (cloning). Check your messages I will send you a pm with some information on flashing to cricket.

I need to rephrase my statment. The problem isn't not getting service to the phone the problem is not getting ANY SIGNAL at all. and im using the qpst settings for cricket off this forum. But i may have found out the problem. I looks like the phone may have been updated, i just saw some options on the phone my old one did not have. Sprint optimizer plus the roaming settings were set to sprint only. BTW cricket doesn't care if a phones ESN is clean or not.
which rom are you using? did you change the prl when you flashed over to cricket? did you change the msl code? you actually dont need a computer at all to flash the phone. on any of the stock rooted roms yo ucan change the needed settings right from the phone itself using the dialer codes. ##data# #, #7786#, ##000000#, etc etc.

Stock Rom.
Yes I did can't remember off the top of my head which prl.
Not sure what the msl code is, if its the same as the MIN that I called cricket for I used the same one as my old phone, should that be different with different phones? (min number)
I did not know that about flashing using only the phone. I'm not sure what is search for, to find that tutorial so if you'd be so kind to link me to one or write a quick step by step for that is be super grateful as Windows 7 (64bit) decided to not have the drivers work anymore from when I flashed my old phone. I've read everything on installing the drivers and tried many different versions of drivers including ones off here. I've tried reinstalling Windows multipul times. I tried using Linux (mint) and virtual machine (xp) but can't get Linux to communicate with the phone. And after using a friends computer and getting the drivers working with win 7 I loaded my old config file for qpst, the config file for qpst for cricket off here, and tweaking different settings, no signal and no 3g.
I've been working on this for several days and am getting tired of having a palm computer that only works on WiFi, so as said, a link for flashing using the phone only or you taking time to write one up, (it doesn't have to be pretty) would have me owing you BIG TIME.
Something else I've noticed on my, "new" used phone is that it runs significantly slower than my old one did. Hitting home key with no widgets running can cause the phone to take a good 5 seconds to load. Hitting the app drawer can take also a good 5 seconds to load all the apps.
BTW ##7786# didn't seem to do anything but I think I edited ##000000# correctly putting my MIN in both fields....unless there's supposed to be a 1 in the begining. Not sure what the data settings are supposed to be.

yeah sorry that code is supposed to be ##786#
some of the other codes you might want o use to confirm that your settings are correct are
##786# - EPST - Status Menu
##3282# - EPST - Data Programming Menu (User Name, Advanced, Restore, Enable HFA, DSA Server, MMSC URL)
##3424# - Diagnostic - Connect to phone in diag mode (im sure you already know that one)
##72786# - changes DSA back to Factory
*#*#4636#*#* - Phone Information - "Phone information, Battery information, Battery history, Useage statistics, Wifi information"
thats all i can remember at the moment.

*#*#4636#*#* if this can be edited this might be able to be fixed in this menu however upon dialing this the number cleared like it was about to do something but it didn't do anything. was this the correct code?
The code is correct.
Now here is a very handy code but it does not work with every rom. ##775# it allows you to change prls. You will need to know the msl code and if you are on a rooted rom you can use msl reader from the market. You will also need to download cricket prls and put them on your SDcard.

[Q] Sprint SG3 Rooted help with TWRP

http://www.andromods.com/root-unlock/sprint-galaxy-s3-kitkat-ota-root-nd8.html
Download the CF-Auto-Root exploit from official Chainfire’s site here, look for SPH-L710 model.
A Sprint Galaxy S3 smartphone (SPH-L710) running official Android 4.4.2 from OTA.
Unzip the “CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.zip” it until you find a file with .tar.md5 extension and an odin executable (*.exe) file.
Run the Odin by double-clicking the executable file.
Soon after the Odin window comes out, click on “PDA” button and look for a “.tar.md5″.
Look at Option area, make sure the Repartition option not checked.
Grab your phone, then put it in download mode, with this magic combo key (Volume down + Home + Power). You’ll get a warning, opt to continue.
Attach the phone to your PC via USB cable. At this stage, Odin should find out your phone, if not, there’s should be a problem with your phone’s drivers.
Now you’re ready, click on the “Start” button, the flashing procedure should done in minutes, but don’t ever interrupt the process. Once the Odin shows a PASS, the phone will reboot on its own.
Once fully boots up, update your SuperSU apps via Play Store, and run it. Now your Sprint Galaxy S3 running KitKat ND8 should rooted at this point.
im am on the stock rom 4.4.2 like above has told me. at this point and now.
ok so i have root checker and says that i am rooted and i can use superSU just fine and file explore accepts root.
downloaded busybox and installed download and TWRP manager is on my phone . now when im in TWRP it brings up a teamwin in the back ground and a side bar for home classic backup live backup restore install TWRP manger and reboot options and settings . i also have goo manager i dont know what to do step by step and have been looking on rootjunkys web site for answers but that build is diff since im on sprint and 4.4.2 .. stock . my problem is my single keeps going from 2 bars of 3g to and x . i can even get pasted the activation . im on straight talk for a service provider. so pretty much i can make phone calls or msg or data . sometimes it works then 5 sec later fails. i had that prob on the droid but when i switched to cm11 everything was fine a dandy . so plz advise me what to do next or where i went wrong. oh and i can get into recovery but have no idea what to do when i get there or what i can use it for. i have been told there is no boot-loader lock on this device so no need to worry about that . i never got the MLS code but i dont need since im rooted and can obviously get some type of single or it would be blocked. my phone number shows up in status info under about phone. i dont know any key codes to set the prl or apns like i do on the droid bionic with a gsm network . im a software dev in training for eclipse but none of my fellow students know how so i gotta ask my main guys at XDA. plz help. also why cant i see dev options in my device . i wanna set up my own PRL and stuff idk help me plz.
in the past i have rooted and loaded and unlocked the boot loader and switched radio bands on a moto droid bionic . i can do that all because i understand how to use safe strap . and i have patched it perfect with a build prop so im not a complete noob im just stuck on the new stuff. also flash roms for cm11 works great but im stuck on the SG3.

Once fully boots up, update your SuperSU apps via Play Store, and run it. Now your Sprint Galaxy S3 running KitKat ND8 should rooted at this point.
im am on the stock rom 4.4.2 like above has told me. at this point and now.
ok so i have root checker and says that i am rooted and i can use superSU just fine and file explore accepts root.
downloaded busybox and installed download and TWRP manager is on my phone . now when im in TWRP it brings up a teamwin in the back ground and a side bar for home classic backup live backup restore install TWRP manger and reboot options and settings . i also have goo manager i dont know what to do step by step and have been looking on rootjunkys web site for answers but that build is diff since im on sprint and 4.4.2 .. stock . my problem is my single keeps going from 2 bars of 3g to and x . i can even get pasted the activation . im on straight talk for a service provider. so pretty much i can make phone calls or msg or data . sometimes it works then 5 sec later fails. i had that prob on the droid but when i switched to cm11 everything was fine a dandy . so plz advise me what to do next or where i went wrong. oh and i can get into recovery but have no idea what to do when i get there or what i can use it for. i have been told there is no boot-loader lock on this device so no need to worry about that . i never got the MLS code but i dont need since im rooted and can obviously get some type of single or it would be blocked. my phone number shows up in status info under about phone. i dont know any key codes to set the prl or apns like i do on the droid bionic with a gsm network . im a software dev in training for eclipse but none of my fellow students know how so i gotta ask my main guys at XDA. plz help. also why cant i see dev options in my device . i wanna set up my own PRL and stuff idk help me plz.
in the past i have rooted and loaded and unlocked the boot loader and switched radio bands on a moto droid bionic . i can do that all because i understand how to use safe strap . and i have patched it perfect with a build prop so im not a complete noob im just stuck on the new stuff. also flash roms for cm11 works great but im stuck on the SG3. THX guys

ok im rooted and on 4.4.2 sprint sph-l710 stock rom and did the whole Call # # 7 2 7 8 6 # that straight talk sent me . the only thing next for me to do is back up my current rom or set up and load a fast yet good stable rom . im also on a stuck point of the prl when you enter the msl # i can get into it but i don't know what info i needs to change for straight talk which they are really using net 10 cdma. in other words the only info they sent me was the ##72786# but no other set up info . (like when i set up my droid bionic i went in and changed Create a new APN with the following values:
APN Name: Straight Talk
APN: tfdata
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port: 80
Delete the current APN from your phone.
Reboot your phone.
)
i dont know what to change on cdma after entering the MSL .
so summary is i need
1. back up rom instructions using TWRP the correct way just encase i boot loop or brick it again. (i got lucky the first time)
2. load a fast performing rom yet nice like 5.0 LP
3. what info needs to be changed after entering the MSL code.
Thanks
