Please help. No 3g. Can't do hands free activation

I was running one of the new kings 3.0 roms and wasn't having any problems. i then accidently repartitioned my sd card losing everything that was on it. I went ahead and flashed Synergy RC2-Godmode and now I have no data/3g. I tried to ##786# but it just hung when it said it was committing changs. I then tried to ##3282# and reset that way...This time it worked and even after rebooting the phone and going through hands free activation it either gives me error code 1012: can't connect, or it hangs on contacting network. I even flashed an older 2.2 rom and tried doing hands free activation and it is hanging.
PLEASE HELP!!!
BTW, I couldn't update profile or PRL either. Error code 1012. Is the Sprint server down or am I screwed!?

I think u need to contact sprint to have your phone reprovisioned. Just have them check everything on their end.

Flash a STOCK rooted sprint rom, then call sprint. I don't believe you can do activations from a sense 3.0 rom yet.

I handsfree activated a evo4g running Synergy rc2 this past Friday but I also had noted once before on a Sat night/Sun morn that Sprint's system does "routine maintenance".

Fixed it. Went on stock 2.2 and had to activate phone. Then I had data. Back on synergy god mode now. Still can't update profile or prl. Any way to do this manually?

[Q] Flashed FE16 Modem on ICS, phone now not activated?

So my phone was @ EL29. I decided that when I was updating from CM9-alpha3 to CM9-alpha4 that I'd also go ahead and update my modem. I updated CM9, and it rebooted fine and was still working.
Went back and Odin'd the FE16 modem, and it rebooted. Once it booted up, I got a 'Activate your phone' page stating "A special call needs to be made to activate your phone service. After pressing 'Activate'... " but this doesn't work (The number or code you dialed is incorrect.)
From what I can tell, this is because ICS doesn't support the ## dialer codes? I did some searching, but couldn't come up with much. I found this post in the modem thread, which links to a "multiboot" ROM for the Epic 4G (not the Touch) that boots a stock ROM off the SD Card and doesn't affect the current running ROM, which lets you do things like Update PRL / Update Profile / etc.
Is there anything like that for the E4GT? Or am I going to have to wipe, go back to GB, re-activate/update profile/update prl on stock, wipe again and go back to CM9?

Another option is to program your phone through QPST, but you might find that to be just as troublesome as flashing back to stock.

A quick search pointed me to this thread for QPST. Doesn't seem too terribly difficult (except that I'm on a Linux box, might have to do some fun VirtualBox emulation to get it working on a Windows VM).
Technically I lied when I said I flashed the stuff using Odin... actually used heimdall, but it does the same thing.
What's funny is my data is working 3G/4G with no problem. If I try to place a call, it immediately hangs up. Trying ##72786# gives a recording that "Your phone is not yet activated. To activate, press end and call customer service"
Service is through ting (who uses Sprint's network)

It sounds like you need to reprogram your MDN and MSID? Are the correct values shown under About, Status? Check the PRL field too.

i actually had something like this happen about a week or two ago. I used heimdall on my mac to flash a new modem while on an AOSP rom, and was told I had to activate the phone. I couldn't figure out anything to do except restore a TW backup and activate then restore back to my current AOSP setup. I never experienced having a modem flash de-activate the phone, but this was the only time i ever used heimdall, usually use Odin on windows.

Odin back to a stock ROM using a one click, Odin a stock modem of your choice and check clear phone efs, and boot up and allow it to reactivate.

First I tried extracting the packages from the OdinOneClick to use heimdall to flash it back to stock. Ended up in a bootloop on the Spring 4G screen. Brought up a Win7 box and used the oneclick on Windows to get back to stock. Reactivated, reflashed the FE16 modem. Now back to CM9 I go.. oh well, all fixed
Thanks ya'll

Good going JLM!
Btw Revamper, I think any of the one-click flashes both the stock modem and kernel along with the rom so you don't necessarily have to flash a modem right away.
Edit: Also, what's the 'clear phone efs'?

It does but you can't clear phone EFS. that clears all sprint data and forces your phone to activate again.

Did you do a full restore or a data preserve?
Edit; if you did a data preserve, your phone will act funny when coming from a ROM. You should do a FE16 full restore if you haven't already, it will reset all your phone settings to factory, but it's the best option when coming from a ROM.

If you're worried about modem speed, FE16 to me is the best modem since FC18.

[Q] Roaming broke please help. :(

I was running pa 2.52 for a long while and decided to try something new so I swapped to the new aokp 4.2.2 rom. I odined back to stock and went through the entire process fresh. My phone ran fine all night and this morning I decided to start customizing the phone. I made the mistake of opening up cdma data roaming settings and selecting domestic roaming. Now I am back in the problem a lot of old roms had where you could not roam. The domestic roaming setting is not sticking. I used to be able to fix this problem by disabling roaming guard in a multibook of fc09. Tried that and no go. I have tried factory resetting and flashing slim bean as well and still no roaming. Any help would be great.

If you aren't partial to your current setup, you could just Odin again and check the setting after that.
Words of wisdom for the future: backup before tweaking your setup.

Are you using the Epic modem or the NS4G modem? If you're using the NS4G modem, it's as simple as swapping the Settings.apk and Phone.apk on your phone with the ones from the NS4G build of PA.

Thanks to you both. I was originally running an NS4G modem, but odined back the original epic modem before the first flash to the new aokp. I did odin back to stock last night and created a cwm backup after I had all of my apps back...... After that I tried to repeat the issue and the exact same thing happened. Just opening up the CDMA setting kills my roaming. I downloaded Roam Control and was able to force roam, but I went ahead and flashed my backup and I am going to steer clear of the CDMA setting.

[Q] Data Connectivity Causes LGOG to Crash

I rooted and unlocked my ls970 and loaded Lifeless v14. Now the phone never shows data signal, and if I try to update the PRL, it will start a 3g connection, but the phone will immediately crash. It just goes back to the boot screen for about two seconds, and then starts working normally. wifi didn't work until I restored my efs. I don't know if that had anything to do with it. I tried an AOSP rom, and it didn't work either. I'm not sure what to do here.

Do a full restore with the stock BIN file, Its about 850MB, It will unroot your phone and restore your phone back to stock. Then check to see if the problem persist. Remember to update the PRL & Profile. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks for the help. I flashed the stock image and then the 3g indicator was on, but data didn't work until I updated the PRL and Profile. After that it was working fine. I re-rooted, unlocked, and loaded lifeless rom. It is working like a champ.

[Q] Lost LTE after switching to KitKat

I decided to give Kit Kat another try a few days ago, but since then I have not been able to connect to LTE.
Prior to flashing I was running CM10.2 and my LTE was working fine. I initially lost LTE when I flashed PACMAN. I have also tried AOSB/ProBAM and Beanstalk. None of the Kit Kat roms gave me LTE so I gave up and restored CM10.2, but afterward I was still not getting any LTE connection.
I tried flashing the MD4 modem, but that didn't seem to fix anything. I've also heard that going back to stock could help, but I'd rather not have Knox if I don't have to use it. Which stock ROM here on XDA would be the best (Not planning on using the ROM. I just want LTE and then will flash back to Kit Kat)? Would a different modem fix my LTE issues? Is MK3 better than MD4, or are there any newer modems I should try?
Thanks for the help!

Any of the ROMS that have [TW] in the title should work. Full Knox only comes with flashing a tar file in ODIN, because your flashing every partition of the phone. Modified stock ROM zips do not have knox, unless otherwise noted. Make sure to do a prl and profile update when you flash to stock.

Flashed Wicked Sensations last night with the MK3 modem and I seemed to be getting LTE as soon as that booted. Updated my PRL and Profile, and then wiped. Installed AOSB again, and I seemed to be getting LTE until I rebooted. After the first reboot I seem to be stuck in 3G again.

Im currently running AOSB on 2 devices. When I first flashed them, I had the same issue until I rebooted the phone. After that I never had this issue again.

I think that's the opposite of what happened to me. My status bar said I had LTE when I first booted AOSB (this was after flashing/wiping TW). After the first reboot it connected to 3G and I haven't seen the LTE signal since.
I have updated the APNs, but I was using the same APNs for a while and had LTE on CM10.2 with them.

This is something wierd with Kitkat. I do not believe a fix has been found just yet. but if you dial *#*#info#*#* on most phones you can get into the phone systems and turn LTE back on.

KitKat roms are currently having data issues. You could try backing up your current KK rom and go back to Stock, update prl and backup your DNS settings then go back to your backed up KK rom and restore from the dns settings you backed up.

ohhh i had this issue but i figured it out for pacman and most roms just download nova launcher and when you do create a shortcut on nova ad click on setting an it should say apn once there u open it and youll see where it says ehprd something like that click on it and go all the way to the bottom and change where it says bearer to ehrpd and lte should work ^_^

Ok so I finally got it working, although I'm not sure what was wrong with everything in the first place. My buddy said Cyanogenmod screwed up a recent ROM, so maybe that code was in one of the ROMs I was using.
Each time I flashed back to TouchWiz (I ended up using Wicked Sensations) I could get 4G/LTE. I ran a **72786*, did a PRL & profile update. Prior to finding a working ROM, when I went back to BeanStalk/PACMAN I would lose LTE. After I found the updated BeanStalk ROM I flashed and it still had LTE! Happy days!
At this point I was able to send MMS somehow, but phone was having problems being recognized by the network. I could connect to LTE but couldn't use the data. After I updated the APNs everything started working again.
