Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here and I hope I can find some help on this issue that has been bothering me. I recently jumped on a great deal for an I/O HTC Evo for $300 on Craigslist that is still active on Sprint. I went ahead and decided to have a shop that I also found on CL flash my phone to a Cricket Wireless account I had.
The phone was flashed and the talk/text/and 3G data were all working, but not very reliable. Calls were dropping, texts took forever to send/receive and data on everything besides the browser was slow or not even working. I severely regretted going through with the flash at this point.
I've tried clearing the storage by holding the vol. down and pressing the power button in attempt to reset the phone back to factory conditions, but when it boots up, the phone is still associated to Cricket. The person at the Sprint store was also unable to get the phone working back with the HTC Demo account and said the phone was made to automatically associate itself to the sprint network but it wasn't doing it.
My question now is where and what do I look for in changing my phone back to Sprints settings? I'm thinking that they physically flashed some kind of firmware or flashed PRL file to the phone but I don't know how to update or revert this change.
What are my options?
Thanks for reading.
flashing a evo stock rom should do the trick. gives u all the settings. all the apps. basically everything if im not wrong
I'm gonna try this with the file posted at geekforme and see what happens. Thanks for this advice, didn't think of this.
So far I've rooted and unlocked nand then flashed the Stock EVO ROM but it's still associated with Cricket...
When I go to About Phone > Phone identity , its showing my current username @mycricket.com, how do I change this?
I wanna completely clear any cricket connection off the phone.. Is there any deactivation code I can dial?
I updated the PRL using techknowfiles 00001.prl with no luck. What else can I try to undo this cricket flash?
I've already flashed it with the stock Evo rom and it is still working through the cricket phone number.
I'm totally baffled as to what I could have done wrong. First of all I have 2 evo's, my wifes and mine. We were running cyanogen nightlies and found out about all the radio updates. I downloaded the zip file to flash them all and everything was ok on reboot. Another post had also said to flash back to a sense based rom and update the PRL and Profile so I flashed sense and both phones were saying "error code 1012" Looking deeper there were posts saying to ##786# and clear the information, reboot to recovery and flash, dalvik, cache, and factory reset. I did this and that's when we lost all connection to sprints network. Found out that wiped our phone # from MDN and MSID so I changed those back to our phone # and rebooted, still nothing. Unrooted both phones completely and still no go. However they would download the newest OTA if I was connected to wifi. Downloaded that and installed with no problem and now my phone works. Downloaded the prl profile. My wifes however... (she isn't to happy) It won't connect to the network and anytime she dials out the account is not activated. Sorry for such a long drawn out post but I wanted to make sure I got all the information that is needed. If anybody can help me figure this out I would greatly appreciate it.
Ok guys i know this may be entierly possible but heres the story, i traded my iphone for a nice s3, normally on trades i always finish activation before I EVER LEAVE .I called sprint gave them the dec esn rom under the battery they said its good it successully attatched to my line,so i was of on my way to finish the # # rtn reset on the s3 and hopes for the usual self activation. To my surprise it wouldnt do it ,so i called sprint they said yes its on my line we tried rtn reset scrtn reset update profile etc.. etc.. all the normal stuff even manualy edit the msid and mdn,Upon reset handsfree activation fails says retry retry, So i looked under the dec and hex under the settings in phone and compared it to the one stamped underneath the batttery they are different
I attempted and flashed stock shipped 4.0.4 through odin then did rtn reset again and all of a sudden i hear HELLO HELLO HELLO ,thats metros acgtivation crap. So as it stands it has a clean esn for sprint but whatever they flash to get it on a new carrier still exists.
I read about flashing evo back to sprint right from a few steps using qpst but thats htc.
Any ideas how i can get the right stuff back onto it so i can reactivate it thru sprint.Any way/program thryu my computer to do this?
Because it has a clean sprint esn it apparentally was bought new and the poeple wanted it on metro pcs.
Have you tried flashing a sprint PRL? And im assuming you made sure you flashed a sprint modem right?
Every Sprint PRL
hi guys, i flashed the lte modem on my phone and it seems that its wiped out my efs folders, ive been trying to restore my efs folder with nvtools and qpst, neither seems to work since somehow dm mode is not responding to them
any solns? ty in advance for any help
a couple of things:
ive already odin'd back to stock, no luck on restoring efs(perhaps im doing something wrong?) i dialed *#7284# and put it into the RNDIS+DM+MODEM mode, nvtools says phone failed to answer while QPST says that comm7(the samsung serial port) is not a phone
its pretty had to do this since the phone is rebooting itself every other minute
Questions and help issues go in Q&A
Thread moved
Thanks

Been there, sucks. For me to get out of the constant restarts I had to flash the lte modem again. Flash stock (odin) flashed cwm (odin), put the modem on my external sd card and flashed that.At least that way I could work on it a little. And below is basically what I did to finally get it to work. Hard to say all my steps as I was trying everything.
Well I dont really know how I got mine back to life, tried all the standard stuff from the threads,got my imei back but had no network,network type,service nothing helped. last resort I said whatever ill try anything now. Came across this
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...3g4g-aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-note-2-sgh-i317/
whatever it did it restored everything (cold see carrier,network,etc)but corrupted imei, next i followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
If you need this is a complete no imei nv backup I used before flashing my imei with the generator
http://db.tt/4hunZ7qy
used the imei generator, then the writer (link on post does not work for the imei generator,so found it here
http://d-h.st/vVV
Wrote my imei back and presto, back in action. Fully functional again, including 4G
Like I said this was a last resort, but worked

got it fixed on friday, was so tired that i went to sleep
basically i followed someone's post on the forum(forgot name) and flashed the tmo modem, since the mct one always gave me the bootloop, then i enabled DM mode and finally got nv tools/qpst to recognize my phone, it appears that the issue was that the drivers does not recognize the new modems..
anyway, once i was done restoring nv, i flashed the tmo lte modem and paranoid android
now i have my imei back and i can use lte
although my bluetooth address still says unknown..not sure if normal
My bluetooth also says unavailable, I would think if you are not hooked up to bluetooth then it should say unavailable. Im to scared to flash the tmo lte modem again...
Can I write it back with VIA_ESNWRITER or is it the same as in the back of the phone still?
all unknown meid,esn,imei,cdma radio,network,phone number
