If none of the other options work about your only other choice would be to try and root it and get s-off, then you could remove the activation from a rom zip and then flash it.

can you give some information how to do that and what is s-off?
how can i remove the activation from rom zip and flash it?
and last how risky is this procedure?
thanks for responding my question

did u cancel the *228 activation several times in a row? canceling once only will not work. you must cancel it like 3 or 4 times in a row.
i did it in several times not only 3 to 4 times i did it as many as i can but still doesn't bypass the activation.
many user out their have a same problem as mine and *228 cancel the call works for them, but in my case it doesn't :'(

If your on a gingerbread rom ie 2.3.* then this is the only known method to root and get s-off. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400 S-off turns off the bootloaders security and allows editing of system files and flashing things thru hboot like radios and different versions of hboot.
Dissabling the activation is fairly easy. It just requires a build.prop edit, either in a rom zip before flashing or on the rom you are currently on. This requires you to be rooted and s-off though. If you can get your self rooted come back here and i will tell you exactly how.
There is always some danger when modifying your phone from its factory intended state, however thousands do it every day without issues. Just go slow and read carefully, if you follow instructions you should have no issues.

Try these instructions carefully:
1. On the Welcome screen with the touch the android to begin icon, do the following:
2. Tap the top left corner of the screen then
3. Tap the top right corner of the screen then
4. Tap the bottom right corner of the screen ( just above the grey bar along the bottom with emergency dial and change language in it) then
5. Tap the bottom left corner of the screen ( just above the grey bar along the bottom with emergency dial and change language in it).
6. That’s it, should pop up the home screen shortly, if not retry. Remember not to drag your finger, simple tap top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left.
OR This:
When you see the screen that tells you to call to activate just hit call to activate end call, back activate again, end call and repeat 4 times and then it will bypass activation.
Let us know how it goes. Cheers...

Ok your probably going to hate me but the build.prop edit dosent work as i thought it did. I decided to try it my self before i took the time to write it out, and it does bypass setting up the phone (ie. google setup, location service setup), but not the ota programing as i had thought it did. Sorry
However now that your rooted have you tried flashing another rom and then see if you can use one of the tricks like 4 corners, access epst (##778), or call and hang up? The 4 corners trick, call and hang up, and selecting emergency call and typing ##778# choose edit mode and enter 000000, works on my rom, and on several other roms. Note it may not be ##778 on your rom, it could be ##data#, *#*#program#*#*, *#*#data#*#*, ##prog#, ##program#. I saw this which i have never seen before, turn the phone off then back on to get to the language select screen, press volume up, volume down, back, and search one at a time in quick succession
The only other way i know (and tested) to bypass it would be to rename /system/app/Phone.apk to Phone.apk.bak and then reboot. This will bypass ota programing. However by renaming the Phone.apk you can no lonher access EPST which you would need to enter your local carriers info.
You could also look in to QPST, a windows program that can be used to program a phone.

Are you trying to activate it on a local network? If so you need to enter that carriers info in epst, you need to get that info from them.
If your just trying to use it as a mp3 player etc with no service, just change everything in nam settings to zeros. If it says 0004564 change it to 0000000.
Qpst and cdma workshop are similar type programs, but not the same program. Im not very familiar with cdma workshop and if it would work or not.

You need to be on a Sense ROM. I never ran Decks, but isn't that AOSP?
I think it is AOSP rom.... I was hoping for a file or something to download to update it...
Ok you need to flash to a sense rom 1st, I recommend mikg 3.11, Then update your profile and prl, I would also recommend doing a gps clear ##gpsclrx# in the dialer, use your msl code, commit. reprovision your phone in the dialer, ##data# enter your msl code go to profile, menu, reset and itll restart your phone. if it doesnt restart do it yourself. and let it run the hands free activation
Now what you need to do is download decks reloaded .44 from the dev section in here and install that instead of deck 1.b Its the best aosp rom period. Its a fully enhanced version of decks! Follow all the instructions in the OP and you should be set!
get the msl reader off the market for your msl code

Thanks for the detailed info. Question, would I be better of just putting a sense rom back on and staying with it so that I can easily get the updates. I live in NJ and I am not really getting very good reception anymore. I was told to update my prl list every month and that would help. Is the ASOP Rom better then the sense or just preference? Thanks again for all the info!

OK, So far so good. I installed mikg 3.11, I updated the prl and profile. I was unsure of "doing a gps clear ##gpsclrx# in the dialer, use your msl code, commit" Do I just do ##4772579# for the ##gpsclrx# and ##3282# for the ##data# ? Please forgive the ignorance, I just don't want to mess it up and thank you again!!
OK, I figured I would just give it a try, I did the ##gpsclrx# thing, that worked, then I installed decks reloaded... but the phone icon doesn't work and there is know accounts tab...
What was your wipe process? I usually wipe everything x3 through amon ra. Maybe try rewiping and reinstalling. And make sure your installing decks reloaded .44 rls

I believe aosp vs sense is just preference they both do the same thing just in different ways. I love aosp for its simplicity. Sense kinda just works depending on which from tor using

Did you forget to flash gapps?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
So I wipe everything 3 times like you said, and redid it. Worked like a charm!
I did run gapps and it still worked (deck reloaded) and it still worked. I did restore my apps from TI backup, so maybe that is why I didn't have to run gapps...
I have to say, I think I like mikg 3.11 better then the deck reloaded. It seems to get better reception, the bluetooth defiantly connects way faster to my truck and seems to just work great.
On another note... I have sprint, service doesn't seem to be that great by my house. I go from 4 bars to none inside my house and always drop calls and my wife has the same issues. My friend has T Mobile & Verizon and he said he gets great service everywhere with his T Mobile phone, even where his Verizon phone doesn't get any service. He also said that the internet speed is WAY faster..
So he let me borrow his T Mobile (Samsung Blase) So far coverage has been way better then Sprint!!! I think I might switch over to T Mobile. I am looking at the phones, The Blase is Gingerbread 2.3, and I really like the smaller phone. But the samsung galaxy s3 is coming out and has Ice Cream Sandwich on it, but it is a little big for me...
Is Ice Cream Sandwich a lot better then Gingerbread 2.3?
Thanks for everyone's help!!

Thanks for the guide. I got as far as starting the backup in QPST, but got an error.
SPC given could not unlock the phone. The phone will not respond for 10 seconds.
Guess I need to try on an insecure kernel, but can't find one for our phone. The two that used to be on samsung-updates.com are dead links as of right now.
I got the same SPC lock error.
I believe that is because you need the MSL. This should work for you phone credit to shiftr182 for this guide.

That is correct 6 were through injection 1 was through a backup. There are however plenty of Verizon folks who were able to do the backup without any problems. They also however didn't need their MSIL and were able to use the default spc of 000000. I will have to dig a bit deeper for Sprint. I prefer us all safe and not just 3 carriers.

I have this exact problem. After using PAC-man ROM, even after doing a full wipe and everything, and going to ParanoidAndroid, I've still got nothing whatsoever.
I've since tried restoring to a previous ParanoidAndroid NANDroid, as well as ones for the PAC-man and even the stock TouchWiz ROM, all to no avail.
I have noticed that upon the first boot after attempting to restore one of these, a process I believe is called "com.android.phone" force closes.
I would greatly appreciate any help; for reasons I won't mention, I can't fully restore to stock until tomorrow or perhaps the next day. Before then, unless this can be fixed, my phone is completely and utterly useless to me.
Is your about phone > status normal or is there values missing or unknown. IMEI, phone#, MIN etc
I like to break stuff!
So don't be mad at me but I somehow got everything working again without having to go back to TW or even flashing anything new per se. I tried a bunch of things, from flashing older nandroids, to restoring my settings from TB, etc... Nothing worked. At one point, I decided to create a nandroid of my current setup, so that I could possible flash back to it after fixing the issue in TW. I then tried to reboot, but got stuck at boot animation. I went back into TWRP, restored from the previous nandroid (not the one I just made), and magically, everything was almost working. I say almost because I got my data and calls back, but the call app kept crashing in-call. I tried fixing permissions but that didn't help. After another reboot it stopped crashing. Again, I don't know why.
What's weird is that I had restored the nandroid that ended up "working" earlier and that didn't do it then...
I don't know what I did but I am operational once more. Sorry as I know this probably doesn't help anyone...at all.
Good luck to all!

I do have: User name, ICCID, MNC, MCC, P_REV, HTTPPD things, RTSP stuff, DSS Proxy IP, mmsc Proxy, SCM, EVRC-B, Vocode stuff, ESN, HA IPs, ICCID, MEID, and IMEI.
My device status is modified.
I think that I have an IMEI means that I'm not totally boned like (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997150), but I'm still not sure what to do at the moment.
All of this is from the stock (albeit rooted) TW ROM NANDroid from before I'd done anything more with TWRP than this backup.
Where should I go from here?
EDIT: One thing I've tried to do is flash the TK8 modem, to no effect.

I'm not even entirely sure what all of these things are, but when I went through the About Phone, Data, and Debug menus came up with some things:
I don't have: Signal strength (-120dBm 99 asu), Mobile network type: unknown, Service state: Out of service, Roaming: Not roaming, Mobile network state: Disconnected, My phone number: Unknown, IP address: Unavailable.

Ok this is what I did to fix this problem and it was the only thing that brought me back 100%
First you need your MSL. To get it download terminal emulator over wifi or thru pc and sideload it.
To get the MSL after you get terminal emulator installed: open dialer and type ##3282# then click edit. Type 000000 in place of the MSL then back out of dialer. Open terminal emulator and type getprop ril.MSL (case sensitive) and copy the 6-digit code thst shows on the next line.
Now that you have the MSL its time to fix the problem:
Open dialer again and type ##786# select reset and enter your MSL, let it do its thing and automatically reboot. Once it boots up your signal bars should be back and you should now have generic sprint info where all the unknown values are.
Now go to settings > activate device and let it do hands free activation.
After HFA finishes open dialer again and type ##72786# and select edit, enter your MSL. Now you need to enter your phone # and MIN in their respective fields. The MIN should be the same as your 10-digit phone # enter both with no spaces or symbols example: 0000000000 then back out of dialer and reboot. You should now be fully operational.
Basically what you are doing is master resetting the device and manually reprovisioning, reprogramming and reactivating your device to regain your missing NVdata
Edit: if for some reason your MIN isn't a match to your phone #(this happens rarely but does happen one of my lines has a different MIN than #) after you get everything else done, call sprint or hop on chat and ask them to reprovision your device and they will go over all the same steps with you ad I did but give you the proper value for MIN if its different than#. If it's the same the steps I listed above will have you fixed

Absolutely fantastic! My phone works again! Im even using it to type this message.
How important is it that my MIN be identical to my phone number? It's not, but my phone (calls, sms, data) works perfectly regardless.
Regardless, you are awesome. Thanks so much!

Only matters if they are supposed to be HFA will usually set those for u but I had the chameleon and HFA errors when I did mine and had to do them manually. My personal line the match but my work line they are different. That's how I knew theres a chance they aren't the same and if the MIN didnt work to just call sprint and ask to reprovision your phone :thumbup:

For what it's worth, after a shut down and reboot my phone is having this problem again. None of my nandroids fix this. I'm on cm so I can't do the fix posted above.
Going to flash back to stock tonight when I get home and start from scratch.

Let me rephrase what I understood:
The hands-free activation that automatically initiates after the radios/modem/whatever are hard-reset will usually properly configure everything.
You had "chameleon errors". (What are chameleon errors? Were they caused by the same thing (PAC-man or another rotten ROM)?
You have two different Sprint handhelds; on one, the MIN and phone number match, on one, they don't.
If it's working, I'm good.
Regardless, thanks very much for helping me to restore my phone to proper working order!

From going back to ljc from lk8 you get HFA on every boot and chameleon apk force closes randomly
Edit: amd yes if you're working you're good. The HFA got your provisioning done correctly. I had to manually do mine from HFA failing part way thru. And yes there are 5 lines on my account 4 all have the same MIN as phone# one has a different MIN same area code entirely different last 7 digits

Hello all,
I hope someone can help. I had everything working great on Pac man Rom (cm10 based). I decided to flash the 4.2 keyboard and when I rebooted the phone, my radios were dead. No calls, no mobile data. I tried the terminal fix solution slick Rick posted in the paranoid android thread but it didn't work.
Does anyone know what I can do? Please help, thank you.

"su [enter]
rm[space]-r[space]/sdcard/android [enter]
reboot [enter]"
after that reflash ur number and username data packet via ur favorite way. i prefer via qpst 378 or DFS 4...
happy try...i hope it will help u man...

That's interesting. My MIN is completely unrelated to my phone number, and also to my area code, and also to any place's area code I've ever lived.
There seems to be no similarity whatsoever. Hm.
Hello,
I used to be able to get my MSL by doing ##DATA# in dialer, entering 6 random digits then doing getprop ril.MSL in connect bot, but this no longer works after 4.1.2 update.. I even wiped my phone and rooted with CWM and tried it again.. no luck.. I have googled the crap out of this trying to see if there is a way to get msl from CWM recovery but I cannot find anything..
Help would be appreciated!

I believe this belongs in the Questions forum instead of the General section. Anyways, to answer your question, use aLogcat.
1. Open up dialer, enter ##3282#
2. Open aLogcat
3. Menu > Clear log
4. Hold home button, go back to EPST Menu
5. Enter random 6 numbers into MSL field
6. Go back to aLogcat
7. Locate the line that says "MSL Code="
8. Write down those digits and store them somewhere they will not be lost

Thanks, I tried this 5 times following exactly what you said and there is no msl line anywhere in the alogcat list.. even searched for it
ive tried the same thing and no luck. it was working before the update. though it was just me. none of the previous ways work now.
I'm having this problem too. I was thinking of flashing a 4.0.4 rom after backing up and get my MSL then restore from my backup. That should work right?

That seems good, but it doesn't say anything about MSL. Will it still work on getting MSL?

Use terminal emulator instesd of connect bot. Works fine for me on 4.1.2 on the note 2 which is pretty close to the same base firmware just different add ons
You can also get it by starting an online activation on sprint.com and then once you enter your esn/imei it will bring up the master reset and provisioning info and your MSL will be in the instructions list, write it down and close out the page

Already tried terminal Emulator, that did not work either and trying to activate phone on sprint.com gave me an incorrect number message... I KNOW i was typing the right number... I ended up just calling Sprint, telling them that I had work done for poor signal issues with a tech and I did a full wipe of my device so I need my MSL to repeat the steps that the tech gave me.. they handed the MSL right over no problem and this time I saved it in my email...
I would recommended spending 10 minutes on the phone with Sprint instead of loading a 4.1.1 or older ROM.. save yourself some time.

All you gotta do is call support and say I need my MSL. If they ask why, say "because it's mine and I'd like to keep it in my records and lost the ome I wrote down when I activated my phone"

I had this same problem. The solution is to downgrade rom to ics low ship as referenced in URL. Once on the rom use the suggested get my msl app technique. Works flawlessly.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
There's several methods because I myself had the same problem using 4.1.2 but i wrote down my msl code when i downflashed to 4.1.1
All you need to do really is the methods mentioned above BUT you'll need to do this.
Wipe cache dalvik 2x. Reboot device.
Download and install android terminal emulator from play store.
Open it
go to the dialer and press ##3282#
Edit.
type 000000 or any random number.
Go back to Android Terminal Emulator via Task Manager.
then type this.
Code:
su
getprop ril.MSL
if no number shows. go back to the MSL code screen
retype 000000
let the phone reboot due to typing in the wrong msl too many times.
Go back to dialer and ##3282#
Type in 000000
then redo getprop ril.MSL in the terminal.
You then should be able to get the MSL number.
I've tried it on 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 - LG8 and LJ7 and i've gotten the MSL number but it
didn't work for me on MA4/MA6 leaked and MB1 official OTA.
bump this up because i am too looking to get my MSL from my build MD4 (4.1.2)?
