[Q] changing phone number - CM9

I have Cyanogenmod 9a2 installed on my E4GT. This morning I ported my phone number from AT&T to Sprint. Now, when I place a call it give me a "your account could not be validated." Data still works, and I can still call Sprint with *02. Looking at my phone's Status Page, it still lists my old Sprint phone number. In system updates, I did a "Update PRL" and "Update Profile", both of which made calls to a Sprint customer service voice number, perhaps *03? I did a hard power cycle (removed battery for a few minutes) and nothing appears to have changed.
When I called customer service, they had me dial ##xxxxxx# which according to CS, is for my particular phone. When I dial that number in CM9, nothing happens.
I've come up with two possible solutions:
1) Flashing back to the stock Sprint ROM, but I really like CM9, and I'd rather not set this phone back up from scratch (again).
2) Buy CMDA-Workshop and use it to change the phone number. Not thrilled at the prospect of spending $99 to possibly resolve this.
Would either of those solutions work?
I've got to think there is an easier/better way, but the keywords I'm searching aren't turning them up. Any suggestions?

Your going to have to flash back to a stock ROM cm roms won't allow activation...so flash it change number update prl etc and flash back to it

Activation in CM9
Thanks! On the Epic 4G board, I did see a thread about a ROM that can be temporarily booted from a SD card for activation. Am I correct in assuming that there is no similar ROM for our E4GT phones?

I have never had to activate it manually so other than the steps I am not sure. What version of the app do you have? (GB or ICS) I attached the ICS version that you will flash through recovery, after wiping cache. If it is GB you are on now, let me know and I will attach a zip that I have used for quite some time that has 8/28 gapps and vvm wrapped up together.
Edit: Just to ask, did you ever activate google voice? If not, then if none of the vvm apps work, you may need to call sprint tech support and get them to look at it from their end.

Here is the combo zip https://www.dropbox.com/sh/136ywplkpwiya5r/8y0GmeqmIu
Hit thanks if I helped

Not to hijack, but noob question.
Why does it matter of Google voice has been activated? I noticed when I went from ICS w/voice back to Sense w/VVM my VVM wasn't working and had to reinstall Google voice to get my messages.

well crap...try that, then it might be a pain in the ass but maybe ruu stock if that doesn't work, update everything which should give you your voicemail back and then go back...just backup your rom of course. If that wouldn't work, call to sprint tech support is in order.

Google Wallet help

I've been using google wallet since I got my GNEX. Rooted and stock it always worked. I'm running AOKP build 40 and Franco''s latest build. My problem is about a month ago I updated the wallet app and since then I'm having activation problems. Every time it tries to activate I just get the activation screen and then nothing happens, just will not activate. I called customer service for help and they were no help at all. Anyone out there knows what I can do. Thanks.

1. If your GNEX was bought outside the US - then Google has started to put blocks on international IMEI's at Money Network so you cannot re-activate.
2. If you did not 'reset' Google Wallet through the app menu (not Settings > Apps) before you reset and flashed ROMs then, there is a good chance you've screwed up the 'secure element' forever.
In both above cases, you will have to get a new device. Yeah, Google really ****ed this up badly from conception to execution.

Any way to get "Sprint" Visual Voicemail on the Gnex???

I have been trying to get a APK that will actually work on the Nexus.
And I have already tried Google Voice and it sucks. I simply want VVM back.
It was simple and all I needed.
Is there an APK that will work on a stock Gnex from Sprint?
Do I have to Root?
I am a total noobie with this phone. Last phone I rooted was a Moment before my EVO 4G.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

I thought this was the Q&A section??? You should rename it the Q....lol

He's done that already. He (and I) would like to find a modded apk that will work w/ICS or Jelly Bean.

Is this one from CM9 the one that works on the Nexus? http://epicaokp.blogspot.com/2012/05/aokpcm9-fixed-sprint-visual-voicemail.html
I remember getting those notification texts from 9016 on my E4GT. Has that been fixed?

Vvm. Apk does not function. I've installed it 3 times. I get 2 texts from Sprint saying to call some number, but nothing happens.
I am going to attempt to root my phone today..... But I suck at this stuff.... LOL
I simply want the plain old sprint vvm....
Any help would be greatly appreciated....

There was a workaround for the 9016 issue, I think you can blacklist or block that number. I can't remember the exact procedure, but the Heroc guys had it working over a year ago. I switched to Google voice for voicemail and love it, but I know the vvm.apk can work on aosp roms

ALMOST There??
The site you linked to has a working zip for sprint VVM, (although it was a slightly older version, and I got a "404 not found" error, I managed to find it) I got it to flash on cwm touch to BB8 for Gnex... I flashed it, wiped cache and dalvik and ran a fix perm on it... It PROVISIONED! Yay, right?? Nope, while I am recieving 9016 messages now, and even alerts through the app reminding me that my Voice-Text Trial is about over, I still cant get the voicemails to receive and notify through the app...
I sent a vm to the:
activate @ vvm. sprint .com
using the app and that went through just fine...
So does anyone know how to integrate this the right way so that it will really work?
I am not receiving any error messages at all... All others I have tried give some sort of error. This one has not, so I am sure there is something small I am missing...Any takers?
Going to try a Handsfree Activation using the Sprint Diagnostic App I flashed yesterday... Will report back...
I want VVM! LOL

Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 (how do I reinstall Sprint PRLs&get rid of Page Plus)

Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 (how do I reinstall Sprint PRLs&get rid of Page Plus)
I bought a Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 not too long ago on Craigslist. Guy told me it worked with Sprint but he apparently flashed it to something that used Verizon PRLs (from what i've been told probably Page Plus). I recently tried to use Ringplus/Sprint with this phone but couldn't use it due to the PRL problem. When I try to make a call a robo Verizon operator pops up and I can't make calls. Of course, I can't get in contact with the guy that sold me the phone so im hoping you guys can help me get it to work with Sprint.
The MSL number has been changed to all zeros. And the dial code ##72786# shows "SCRTN" at the very top then just restarts my phone.
So I rooted the phone using this simple process. [SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956180
Then I downloaded SuperSU. Then tried DFS to change my MSL number back to the original number. But it didn't work. I tried PRL Helper, but that too did not work. Won't let me reset the PRL. So I unrooted my phone (or so I thought) and reset the phone to factory to see if that would work, and it did not. So I reinstalled the CF-Auto-Root and now even SuperSU won't work. Im new to all this rooting stuff. THIS IS FRUSTRATING!
My phone is running stock rom. Android version 4.4.2 Baseband version L900VPUCOH3. Build number KOT49H.L900VPUCOH3.
PLEASE HELP!

I'm not sure of all the prl changes and how all that works. That said I would use odin to revert to a stock unrooted ROM and try to reactivate sprint via settings prl updates ect.
Edit: here's a link to stock ROM for Odin. Hope it helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780984

Thanks for the help. I followed the instructions in the link and it didn't help at all. I still get a Verizon operator when I try to make calls and when I enter in try the carrier reset dial code ##72786# ,it shows "SCRTN" at the very top then just restarts my phone. There has got to be a way to fix this...

Sounds like you need to Google how to flash your phone to whatever carrier you are wanting to get on. I myself am on boost mobile.

Thanks. But thats what i've been doing. Im trying to get my phone to work with Ringplus(they use Sprint towers). I've been using cdma workshop to try resolve the issue but nothing has been working. I know that I need to revert my phone back to Sprint to be able to use Ringplus. Info on how to go from Page Plus to Sprint is very limited.

Thanks for responding. This is actually one of the first things I did and I also kept getting transferred to different people. What specifically did you ask the Sprint people for them to do what they did?

I had to buy a cheap donor phone to clone the settings and such over so i could use mine on boost. Just fyi

How would I clone another phone? And in order to do this right, would I have to clone another SPH-L900?

Sorry for the late response and thanks for the reply but I was trying to go to RingPlus not PagePlus.

Problem Solved!
Forgot to update. I fixed this problem.
How I FIXED Ringplus PRL problem (flashing to stock rom may or may not be necessary)
I fixed the problem by rooting my Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 with odin here.
[SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956180
The reverted to 4.2 Kit Kat stock rom using "ALL_SPT_L900VPUCNE2_L900SPTCNE2_1561791_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5" file.
https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-flash-samsung-stock-rom-via-odin.htm
Then I downloaded the "25xxx = residential acct - lte/800smr" PRL files from
http://*******************eestat.ir/?index=forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880781 (Add '?http://?xda-d?evelopers.freestat' to the beginning of link without the '?' marks.)
and extracting the "25XXX_LEG" folder then using the "25016.prl" file to desktop then using CDMA Workshop 2.7 to change the prl to the 25016 prl file.
Then I used trial version of DFS 16.2.21.0 to change my HEX and DEC and esn numbers to match what was on originally on the phone (I found this out through either Ringplus or going into phone dial code). It was a little difficult to change them because DFS kept saying it was skipping the request but after a little while even though it said it didn't change anything it did change it back to the original. That allowed my phone to be read by Ringplus and I was able to get the phone activated and PRLs updated automatically.
