No 3G only 1x - Cloned ESN Swap - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Okay, I have a GS3. I swapped the ESN (Evo 4G) and now I can't get 3G
The only time I have 3G is on a stock Rom with the MD4 Modem but even than it feels like 1x.
I've tried all the radios, with no luck including the MD4 one. I've been trying to get it working the past two days now with no luck.
Someone PLEASE, please PLEASE help me?

do you have the MSL? Try going to ##data# and making sure everything is set up correctly and even doing a ##debug# and see whats going on there.Make sure you have your radio set to cdma/lte/evdo

I do have the MSL
I'm not exactly sure what I should be seeing in the Data menu, but I have gone in there a few times turning things on and off to try and get things working, otherwise I switch is back to default.

Okay,I can try to help for what I know,what was the purpose of you cloning the esn?

My uncle's names on our account and I payed my portion of the bill, he decided to quite halfway through the contract so I cloned it to get back on Sprint.
Any help you can give me is much appreciated. I can't stand this 1x :/

Does anyone think it could have anything to do with the donor phone?

Im not on sprint, but what does it show as the Mobile network type under Settings: About Device: Mobile network type?
I was messing with my phone and had changed the settings in ##DATA#
I was getting 1x only so I had to change the HDR/1x Selection under Data: Others. Hybrid works the best for me, but you could try changing to "LTE + CDMA + EVDO Mode. When I selected CDMA only then it only got 1x and not full EVDO/3g.
If that's not it did you have to enter the HA & AAA secret keys to get data to work?

Earlier OP said he is not sure what he should be doing is ##data# menu, maybe I can break it down
Do ##data# on dialer
click on edit
type in msl
enter in 6 digit MSL
**To Enter HDR/1x Selection Stated Above**
Select Other > Select HDR/1X Selection > Select Mode( Try LTE + CDMA + EvDO, if that doesnt work try hybrid or global mode)
Just browse the data menu but do not touch korean mode ever.
for HA and AAA Keys noted aboved its within the Data Profile in the menu of MSL,
let us know if this helps,going to be honest I am a noob but I can research these things as I have been doing so passively trying to fix my own problem

Thanks for the help guys. I was messing around the other day in the settings and somehow wiped my username and MSID. I got the username back, now I'm trying to get the MSID so i can get my phone back on Sprint. I"m an idiot sometimes... lol
As soon as I get back on Sprint I'll let you know how it works out!
Thanks again

To get msin you can just do phone activation through menu and if that doesn't work a sleight tech can provide a new one

Evo on Boost Mobile - Data Connection

I've got voice and texting working, I believe. But I can't get data to work. Can anyone help me out, please?
[EDIT] A little for info. I keep getting the error code 67 registration failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect, or something. Saying invalid username/password. I have changed the username to my Boost Mobile one. But I don't know anything about changing the password.
Have you tried doing a profile update, thats how the fone gets its network access info and if the the fone is linked to your boost mobile account it should provide the username and password.
PS. What does the fone show up as if you look on your account online. Just curious.

I try and do a profile update, but it says the update has failed please try again later. I don't think it will work since the Evo is not actually supposed to be on Boost Mobile?
This is exactly what you need to do.. The phone that you cloned, to get the evo on the network.. You need to get the Shared AAA Secret and HA Shared Secret PAssword. I had this same problem with my EVo when cloning it with the samsung moment.. THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED! TRUST ME.. I spent months trying to figure out my problem and found it to be this.. This is the only method that can get you up and running. The HA Shared Secret is in Hex Format.. ill see if i can find that same guide that i used and post it later

Just do a ##rtn# and reset it. That's what I did after I put my evo on boost. It did the hands free activation and everything. Try that

you are not getting 3G speeds if you just do a ##rtn# reset only 1x speeds. you have to get profile 0 user names and passwords from a incognito in order to get evdo rev a speeds or a rant to get slower evdo rev 0 speeds. to check dial ##33284# on your evo and go to data status you will see either evdo if you have 3G or 1xrtt if you have regular non 3g data speeds. just cause the 3G signal pops up does not mean you have 3G

Your data isn't working because you don't have the AAA password. The meid doesn't matter because the evo uses the ESN. Get the AAA password and you'll be set.

htc evo reading VERIZON with metro prl

My HTC Evo is reading Verizon wireless when y dial *228 to set up the device.
the problem is I have used the metropcs prl - 0069/02001/02004 and 03011 and no matter what, it stays in roaming "Analog B" and doesnt go to metro.
Sometimes get some american blabla network.
Phone is rooted and with metrodroid 1.2
The cyanogen doesnt give me option to go to ##3424# or ##3282#
And not getting into ##775# at all.
Some help would be appreciated
the ESN is added to metropcs inventory and with a working phone number.
Need it really bad.
thanks
Double check to make sure the Metro PCS PRL sticks. Go to Settings > About Phone > Status and look under PRL.
Also, check to see if your number shows up under "My phone number."

That's strange. How about under MIN? There should be a number that looks like a phone number there.
You could also try going to the Sprint OTA and *228 from there

Metro has a roaming agreement with verizon. When in one of these roaming zones or sometimes when metro is doing some system maintenance this scenario you describe will occur. When you leave that roaming zone or metro finishes with their system maintenance, whatever the case. Your phone should then just go back to working as before.

Im located in Queen-NY where there is pretty good metropcs coverage,
This is a fresh flashing, has not yet work on metro, Im still trying to get to work.
I've been trying to set it up for 4 days in a roll and its given me only headaches ..lol...
that's why I really need help here.... I have tried few ROM's but it seens to not help at all,,,
Let me ask, is that normal when I go back to QPST -> PPP Config
the Password field be empty? or should there be something that was set before?
Is the prl file to be uploaded to ROAM tab right?
what prl have anybody up running on evo metro?
The EVO will not work on NY. Since there is not PCS band in NY
NY,NJ and some others states only use AWS band which is a new frecuency band not supported by the EVO,
thats why you're on roaming, your EVO can't see any metro network even if you have the latest metro PRL

sorry to bring a dead thread back to life
but its not working for me either and i have cloned the esn of my huawei ascend into my Evo yet nothing. is still in Analog B

[Q] Evo on MetroPCS- says ROAMING?

I'm trying to finish getting an evo to metropcs for a friend. I did everything you need to do to get to the point of "activation". I put a newer Metro prl on the phone that works here in the ny area... but when i try to activate it or even call I get redirected to a verizon operator. The signal bar says I'm roaming and where it should say "MetroPCS" on the lockscreen its says"Analog B". Will an evo on metro pcs even work in the NY area? If not I just wasted a huge amount of time

If I'm correct the instructions you've provided will only allow me to connect to the towers that my PRL tells me too. Which makes sense since having it set to "automatic" will allow to roam and connect to a verizon tower, due to a roaming agreement between metro and verizon. Thanks for that hint. So I just did as instructed and It says I have no service (the little "x" by the bars.) oh I also followed these steps to re-start a hands free activation:
Steps:
1. Dial ##3282#
2. Enter Edit Mode
3. Enter your MSL
4. Select Data Profile
5. Menu
6. Restore
7. Let Phone Reboot, and Wait and the Hands Free Activation will Start.
and of course It didn't work because i have no service
Damn...I'm at a loss here...
Yep...get the esn set up with metro...
Damn guess I better, thanks for the input. I appreciate it
I realized that the esn on this evo is already added to the metro network.. due to some unmentionable modifications. I simply cant get service to activate the phone..

PRL Issues

I have an EVO on Boost and I updated the PRL and since I get no service at all. I have flash like 30 different prls and same thing. I did a bunch of searching on the issue and cant come up with anything. What do I do?? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Well, which PRL are you on now?
Do you get an error?
If so, can you be more specific about it?
Are you sure roaming is disabled and set to home only?

CDMA not working

I'm afraid my CDMA radio is broken. (At home my LTE signal isn't strong enough.)
I only used it half a day before sending my Verizon HTC One to Colorodo for S-OFF. The signal then seemed fine. I didn't set it up until i got a case for it yesterday. First i installed the GPE by newtoroot (because it was smallest to download) and everything seemed fine but i honestly don't remember, then installed the other 2 custom roms both only giving me LTE only.
Things i've tired so far that haven't worked:
1. I restored my nandroid of the Stock, but got the same thing.
2. I've tried all the custom roms but still can't get CDMA to connect.
3. I tried the RUU, (since a few parts of it are corrupt, i had to leave out system and recovery) then flashed a custom rom
4. I changed some settings in the ##778# menu (copying my Inc 4g)
5. I've installed LTE on off to easily change radio options.
6. I've tried a different sim from another verizon smart phone line
I've also tried combinations of those, but still have not gotten my CDMA to connect.
Does anyone have any other ideas for me?
Also, if someone doesn't mind giving me their settings in the EPST menu (##778# then edit mode) for CDMA Settings, and Modem Settings, I'd appreciate it.
Here's the CDMA and Modem info from my EPST menu. I'm not rooted or S-OFF though so I'm not sure if there will be a difference.
CDMA:
A-Sys Primary: 283
B-Sys Primary: 384
A-Sys Secondary: 691
B-Sys Secondary: 777

Good luck! :good:
ok, now i'm getting 3g (CDMA) so i feel like it might not be a broken radio, but it does tell me that i'm roaming and when i make a call I get verizon wanting me to enter a credit card. When i switch to 4g it doesn't tell me that i'm roaming but when I make a call then it immediately disconnects and data works fine (I think verizon still uses CDMA for voice).
I would much appreciate another favor if someone doesn't mind giving me their settings in the EPST menu (##778# then edit mode) for Home SID/ NID

#1 is 26392/65535
all the rest are 0/0
hope this helps.
My Home SID/NID #1 says 73/65535
I'm thinking that and the A-Sys/B-Sys numbers are by region which might be why your phone thinks you're roaming.

Mine said 2004/65535
but that doesn't seem to help anyway.
What did help was changing my prl to an older version, but i'm still not entirely sure what happened and why my phone messed up like it did.
I was able to fixed my problem with the newest decripted ruu from zarboz found here
once i ruu'ed i turned off fast boot in power settings and i turned on gps then i did 2 factory resets. 1 from the rom and 1 from the bootloader.
edit. sorry if i duplicated post in other threads, i just hope when someone else has the problem then it's easy to find and fix.
