so after flashing a rom and then going back to my back up that i made i no longer have service and i get a message at boot saying to activate my phone.
under about phone my phone number doesnt show up correct, the imei is incorrect. any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated while i continue to look on how to fix this as well
You can try ##72786# to reactivate it on the Sprint Network. If you Flashed the device to say Boost, or some other prepaid that will not work.
ill keep that in mind if i can get it to connect to the sprint network, got the meid & imei number, now its just the
phone number that is showing up as 000-000-0016
prl version 0
ive already flashed freezas md4 modem prior to this as well.
i am currently in the process of flashing a rooted stock rom and going to do a profile and prl update,
If you do what he told you it will reset your device on the sprint network and update prl and profile at the same time. It's the code sprint uses yo force activate the devices. Just saying save yourself 20 steps.

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
Did you get the esn registered to metropcs? must I add must be considered coorperate store

go to settings>wireless settings>mobile networks>system select> change it to home only then also....make sure you still have the MetroPCS prl installed...dial *228 and make sure it says "hello hello hello metropcs" and if it does u might as well update the roaming list...say update roaming list after it says it

I didnt get my esn registered with metropcs because I assumed it was already registered.. Should I go ahead and try to do that, and if I do do you think they will they even allow me to?

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..
I understand that there are some hardware differences between the Sprint SPH-L900 and the US Cellular SCH-R950 such as the lack of sim card slot on the Sprint version.
Let's say I had an SCH-R950 and wanted to convert it it to use on the Sprint network. Forget the ESN issues. Can I simply flash the SPH-L900 radio to the SCH-R950? Are there any other hurdles to jump?
no you cannot do that. to get on the sprint network you need to add your esn and other info to their network. which they don't allow. so flashing a radio will do nothing besides mess up the phone a little just wanting to switch services i take it? there are a lot other networks you could get on.

I mentioned I was aware of the esn issues and to forget them.
I'm not concerned with making phone calls or having data just yet. Can I make the phone a Sprint phone? Accept Sprint updates, show the Sprint logo on boot up, see the Sprint network, etc?

i know you said it but... never mind
you can make it a partial sprint phone haha. here's what you can do. you can run the latest sprint LK8 update. you can show the sprint logo on boot up/shutdown. you can see the sprint network with a prl change. so basically you can do everything except logon to their network for data and voice calls. there's no way to get your phone on their network other than roaming from uscc or another carrier with roaming agreements with sprint. unless you do some unmentionable illegal activity.
if you want to get the sprint updates on your phone you will need to root and install cwm. come join us over here http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/forum/299-samsung-galaxy-note-2/
i can assist you with getting this all on your phone.

On my way! Thank you!
Someone help!
Sooo...I have a US cellular note 2...what fun things are you trying to do with yours? I'm merely looking for a sim unlock. ..but now I am curious
Well technicaly speaking, I guess if you can get recent PRL and Profile from Sprint and see there network, yiu could possibly change your IMEID / MDN to am existing phone from sprint "kinda like cloaning" and it would work. Your phone would just register on the network as whatever IMEID/MDN the phone was. Data would be available as well as voice.
Just speculation.

I am not interested in cloning at all. All I want to accomplish is exactly what I originally posted. Can anyone help me with that?
I need the PRL and Profile.
Didnt say you wanted to cloan. Its just kinda how the proccess would work lol.
Anyways, might wanna hit up a kernel dev, its going to require some base level work. I would say try flashing a stock kernel but you would risk a brick.

flashing their radio and kernels will do you know good. especially the kernels. you just need to get into the programming menus of the USCC phone. i've yet to find the codes for it. :/
Hi all. I'm pretty new to repairing ESNs, and I have run into a snag. I have an EP4G that has all the settings for the Ver1z0n network, but says that it is still on the $print Network. When I try to make a call, it says that it could not process my call and to reboot the phone and try again. Data is not working at all. Any guides or advice, I'm not sure what I missed, but here is the steps I took:
Recovered SPC from Gusto with CDMA Workshop
Read and saved PRL with CDMA Workshop
Used QPST to read and save all settings from Gusto
Used QXDM to retrieve HA and AAA
Turned off the Gusto
Used QXDM to repair the meid and esn
Used QPST to change and write all settings including PRL
Rebooted phone
Stuck at this point
I have also tried to OTA the EP4GT using *22890 and *22891
I have also tried flashing to custom ROM, and to get diag mode I flashed back to Stock ROM
Any ideas????
Also, seem to be stuck in roaming.
Okay, Got Talk and Text working... still need help with the Data Please
I use my epic 4g touch and epic 4g on verizon prepaid. Also used the gutso as a donor. They both work perfect. I would redo the entire process from scratch. Are you able to send texts and recieve calls?

Yes, I can send text and receive callse, still no data though. Tried the whole thing from scratch again etc. Has to be something I'm missing.
Ok you get text and calls. Can you place a call as well? You were able to pull the aaa and ha keys correct? Ya it seems like you must of missed something allong the way. Also which prl are you using?

Hey, sorry it took me so long to get back on here. Internet has been down for the last few days.
So, I can make and receive both text and calls.
I pulled the ha and aaa keys. (QXDM: requesetnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof )
Using a modded 53038 PRL
At least internet is back on so I can continue to research the issue.
UPDATE!!!
Okay, so I flashed to a custom ROM thinking that maybe it was one of the Sprint Bloatwares blocking a data connection with VZW. Turns out I was correct. Now I can connect, but it is only on the 1x network... IE I will connect for a few seconds, but then disconnect. Just like it is trying to connect on a send then receive and then shutdown cycle. So now I am down to trying to get 3g working instead of 1x.
You may need to flash the alternate carriers fix.

I have an S3 rooted with 4.3.
I have a Metro PCS sim which I am trying to use with this phone.
The phone seems able to read the sim OK.
Under status I can see my phone number.
Everything else is unknown. Network is unknown, Mobile network type is unknown, service state is out of service.
I get full signal too, but when I go to mobile networks, I receive a message "Insert SIM card to access network services"
So I can see my phone number, and I dont have a message telling me to insert sim when I start the phone.
I have checked with Tmobile and I know the phone is not black listed, but when I make a call I get not registered on the network.
I do see also my IMEI number and seems to be correct under about
I really dont know where else to look for answers. I would love some help with this.
Any ideas?
Anyone?
Do you have the 4.3 modem? And also did you add the device to your line? Otherwise it won't work no matter what you do

The Baseband version is T999UVUEMJC.
I tried to add this phone by contacting Metro, and they told me that they couldn't because the phone is locked. I contacted T-mobile, and the person sent a request to get it unlocked, and said that I should wait 72 hours to hear from someone. I waited more then 72 hours, and I called T-mobile again, and then I was told that I needed to have service before they could unlock the phone. I was not sure if that was the issue since the phone did not give me the invalid sim card error.
I went to Metros site to see if I can check the IMEI. Their system said the phone was lost or stolen. I called T-mobile to check on the IMEI, and they told me its fine and there are no blocks, and ready to activate.
I also confirmed the status using both Swappa, and checkesnfree. They both say the phone is ok. I would think just using the Sim should work, but I am not sure what to believe.
Ok there are 2 things you need to do.
1) update your modem to a 4.3 modem
2) add the device to your line.. Just swapping sim cards will not work. It also doesn't need to be unlocked.. Any T-Mobile phone will work with metro as long as its in a gsm market, so you might want to try doing it again.. I worked at metro so that's how I know all this
Edit: never mind you do have a 4.3 modem my mistake for reading too quickly.. But it looks like you're set to go, you just need to add the device to your line, so try adding it again

Have you read THIS
There are people offering remote flashing services on ebay. I have had 4 Sprint phones flashed to StraightTalk, using Verizon towers. 2 of them were S3's. If I find the link, I'll message it to you. If you have access to all menus, you can change the APN. You will need to use a 3rd party messaging app. They'll hook you up
