[Q] HELP? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I am new to this, I also first off want to apologize for this probably not being posted in the correct area. Here is my problem. I HAD Sprint. They sucked. Dropped calls, no service, definitely no 4G that they conned me into a contract with. Long story short, after a 4 month battle, they dropped my contract, no ETFs on either line. Bills all paid up, no debt. Now I have 2 Samsung Epic Touch 4g phones that I want to use elsewhere. My issue is that now that I am free and clear of Sprint, they REFUSE to give me an MSL. They have given me a long list of reasons why I cannot have my MSLs. I have rooted my phone, tried the getprop ril.MSL method (without the swype keyboard before someone asks). Nothing, it just skips down to a new command line with no data. logcat doesn't work, get my msl doesn't work. CMDA workshop doesn't work.. I'm at a loss. My wife was able to have her phone flashed to revol, but she can't send/receive picture messages with revol flashed. I am stuck using an old clearance rack galaxy something or other because I'm at a stand still with my phone. Is there a way to completely remove the Sprint software from the phone and install some sort of open source phone software? I'm obviously new to this, my typical work is computers not phones and my last smart phone prior to this was a t-mobile shadow (YEARS ago). Someone please help me figure this out. Once I get some initial help I'm sure I'll get the gist of it and be good to go. I'm just getting absolutely nowhere with anything that I have read in any forum.

I haven't needed it in a long time. But there is an mal fix by tdunham. I am on break right now. So I cannot Google it. But if you Google with the keywords tdunham msl fix you will find it.

Force Roam

IS there any change someone could develop a way to force the EVO to roam? I know there are quite a few people over at Android Central that have asked about it. Force roam is one of the two things I miss from my Pre, because I do a lot of traveling, and sometimes I'm caught in between Sprint and roaming and just bounce back and forth between 0 & 1 bar.
Thanks

I've seen that. Is it the only option? I was hoping someone with more knowledge then me would be able to make a simple app or widget with a switch. Is there just no option for that, or just a lack of interest?
Thanks for the reply

Done, thanks. I guess I have to stick with the posted method for now. It amazes me that someone can't make a simple little toggle widget.

once someone figures out how to get back to the ##775# screen. It was the only PRL I could find that actually showed the Triangle but since Froyo disabled ##775# its back to sqare one...
Update: CyanogenMod 6 RC1 and Nightlies has forced roaming capability:

Hacked? or just Searched

Ok guys I have learned how to root a phone, many thanks go out to all on here who helped me especially Big Goron, who rooted my first phone for me using team view.
Now I have a serious question.
Today at work I looked at my phone because it buzzed as if I was getting a phone call, what I found next disturbed me a lot, somebody had entered my phone and was looking at everything on it, now I'm not the best at phones yet, but I am pretty handy behind this computer, so I get home plug the phone in a start hunting, what I found is a trace log from a govt computer that as far as I am concerned illegally entered my phone, and being that I am neither democrat or republican I do NOT want the govt in my personal phone, will droid firewall from the market work? Or do I need more security than that?
Apparently....yes they CAN get into a phone.
Since I'm the first to respond to this thread, guess I'll be the generic asshole to ask: What nonsense are you prattling on about?
All I read was a theory with no evidence to confirm such allegations.

Data not working.... on unlimited ATT plan?

I am on the unlimited data plan... always have been, I was also "grandfathered in" to keeping it.
I got the notice (picture below) this morning that "you will no longer be able to use applications such as internet, email, and youtube via mobile networks. continue?"
I was on my motorcycle and just got rid of the notice without really thinking... my s3 has done some weird stuff lately, wondering if I just need to turn something back on on my phone?
Thanks guys.
Heres the link to the pic if it doesnt work.

isn't that what pops up when you disable mobile data yourself phone-side?
Looks to me like you toggled a Mobile Data setting since it's asking for your permission rather than just telling you.
There's a toggle for mobile data in the notification pull-down. Have you checked that?
I guess the first questions is, did data previously work? If so, then I agree with the earlier response, something more than likely has been toggled.
If not, the default APN "pta" is for LTE, if your account hasn't been provisioned for this you will not get data; my son just had a similar problem as he's "testing" a new Android phone, coming from an iPhone and tried just inserting his SIM. After adding another APN, "phone", which is what is used for iPhone the problem was resolved... you may want to try this and see if it works for you. Good luck.
Like others said first, make sure your mobile data toggle is on.
If it is but that's not the problem, I had the same thing. I was on unlimited HSPA+ with my Galaxy S II. When I swapped to the my Galaxy S III, they had to swap me over to the LTE unlimited. Took like 5 minutes and we were done. Just give AT&T a call.

[SOLVED] Need help with htc one x

Okay, so i have a htc one x that has no lcd and digitizer (my fault) problem with that im trying to get past the swipe the unlock part so i can get a few files and toss out the phone. i've been at this for about 3 months now (on and off) with no luck. i've read thousands of posts everywhere and i can't seem to find a solution. Going the adb shell input route seems promising but i can't seem to figure out the xy coordinates. None of this would'nt be a problem with the phone would stop reading the stupid Error code 10 crap with device manager. kinda hopping putting the phone in recovery mode would help but it didnt lol. although they're times where the phone reads for a bit and im able to get a few files out without a problem but sometime later it just tells me to eat a ****. i could ramble on all day about this so question is.. is there anyway someone could help me with adb route or know of a simple interactive mirror display i could use. i just nned to get past the swipe screen and im all good after that. yes usb debuggin is enabled. i turn that on with every phone i get. (rooted phones and etc.. in the past) but forgot everything.
Alright,
I've found a temp solution to my problem and I decided to post it here for everyone else that came across this problem.
THIS IS JUST A TEMP FIX. IF YOU'RE ABLE TO UNLOCK VIA LOCK SCREEN THERE IS NO NEED TO TRY THIS.
I tried to explain it the best i could. if you have any questions just reply to this thread. i'll do my best to help. I decided to post pictures with the explanation in them. Due to this isn't a complicated process and can be done in a very short amount of time.

[Q] No IMEI, Please help

Greetings
I bought the device 4 month ago.
One day ( 1 week ago) I lost service, no IMEI #. :crying:
NO ROOT, NOTHING was done with the phone. I upgraded to lolipop (5) 2 month after I got it and it work fine for 2 more months.
Sent the phone to insurance company, the said the will not touch it and the insurance is INVALID because the IMEI is not presented.
I have the original box with the original IMEI.
Is there ANY way recreating it? I DO NOT HAVE ANY BACKUP...
I read on lots of posts that you need the original files of the EFS folder. Is there any way getting those files, EDITING THEM for my device and restoring that folder?
Please help...

This is what I did to fix my Verizon LG G3, but it should work for any variation.
Call and speak with a supervisor. I'm assuming you have proof you bought it. Why is it your fault that the phone memory got corrupt?
jobella, I did speak with a supervisor, they directed me to a section where it states "If IMEI got deleted or corrupted, insures is invalid", got figure, next time i will not buy a deceive with such insurance terms...
Do you think contacting LG could help? is there any specific form to fill on there website or email for those issues?
iBolski I will get the phone in a day and try that, thanks. will update
Not my day i'm guessing...
Updates:
Rooted the device with no problem (thought if warranty is invalid to hell with it..)
BUT QPST shows Phone Unknows, No ESN, Phone number is empty, Banner Unknown...
Deveice is in MTP mode. PTP not working
every try to see Software Info crushes the settings app.
No baseband V , no WiFi MAC, no Bluetooth, software version: V20h
Could it be a break?
Here is a prtscr
