I just flashed my evo to boost. I had a hard time getting the data to work. It is really slow though .09 Mbps on speed test. Any help is appreciated.
Update: I reflashed a stock ruu, let it restart then canceled the activation and did a ##768# reset, recopied all the nv items and nam 1 and 2, reset and then let it activate. I then had full 3g but no voice, i used my old boost phone did a reactivation on it then reactivated my incognito and it all worked fine.

I have been having this problem ever since I tried updating PRI to 1.40_003. I've tried the factory reset method and the data profile reset method, both from home and 150 miles away from home to no avail.
I had roaming data working perfectly prior to this. In mobile network settings I have enabled mobile data and roaming network is automatic. I was running Fresh 3.1.2 when this started and since updated to Fresh 3.2 with a full wipe and still nothing.
I can't roam at home or 150 miles away so I know it's not a problem on my area. I have loaded techknowfile's 00001 PRL file, and that way I have data working while roaming. The problem is that PRL is not good for me because most of the time I have great Sprint signal, and that PRL forces Verizon's towers. I need roaming only at work.
I can make calls while roaming just fine, my only problem is data. I tried calling Sprint and they had no clue. Someone please help!!!
S.O.S.
so i have a htc evo 4g on boost mobile. The service is great but for some reason my internet is extremely slow!! Im running miui rom and it shows 1x on top, but my brother in law has the same phone and his internet is 3 times faster then mine. His is also flash to boost mobile. Any ideas what it could be? and yes i've tried changing the prl and nothing. Mind you we tested the speed on speednet and my download is .12 mbps and his is 1.00mbps. Please somebody help me, im sooooo frustrated with this slow internet!!
i had a problem like this before then i tried a data reset on a hunch and it work went from 0.03 mbps up to 0.80.
how do I do that

go to data and then menu and hit reset or restore and restart you phone.
Omg thank you soooo much!! It worked perfectly!!
restore
what exactly does it restore? I have the same problem.
it completely retores your data, and it updates your prl. You have to be on sense and have espt.apk.
can some one tell me if this can fix my slow internet.
I get the 3g icon but my internet is slow and has been
since i put it on boost.I have tried everthing i know but
can not seem to fix it. and if i do this will it mess up my srink\plan
this is what i found in one of the thread and want to try this.
he HA/AAA's appear to be generated based on the ESN/MEID and MDN combination. When running across this issue, here are the steps I take to resolve it:
1. Turn off both the donor and flashed phones.
2. Go online to your Boost account and go through the Update handset process using a third Boost Mobile MEID (I have one you can use for the switch...PM me
3. After a few minutes, go back in and do another Update handset, this time using the MEID that came off the donor. Be sure to leave your donor phone off!!!
That's it! This has always worked for me. Sometimes it takes awhile for the phone to provision. You may get an error message that says that the number isn't in service...just hang in there!!
Welcome to sprint's wonderful dial-up 3g speeds. Nothing you can do except switch to Verizon and get REAL 3g speeds.
Heres the run down
..I had my phone remotely flashed to boost
Being that im currently in a area with not the best coverage
I was testing every tweak to enhance my 100-185 kbps
so i came across a provision reset tweak
That screwed things up erasing some stuff
To the point where the phone had to be activated
Luckily going to the sprint zone app and activating restored everything
Or so i thought.. Now network has problem staying connected, 3G sign appears and leaves randomly, and when it is connected the d/l indicator sometimes doesnt appear. Speeds are as low as 8 kbps
Speeds before was no lower than 116 with 1 bar
I also get error 67 when trying to update prl
Any help would be appreciated
if your phone was remotely flashed and you don't have the passwords from your account, you might be out of luck.
I would suggest to contact the person that remotely flashed it for you...
Do you have the donor phone, the one that was used for transferring the service ? Because if you have it in your possession, you will be able to manually transfer the information one more time.
Sprint is blocking activations on phones flashed to Boost
After flashing hundreds of phones to Boost (Evo's, Galaxy S2/S3) I woke up at 5:00 A.M. 11/4/12 to discover that the Boost website was under maintenance.
After they were up and running I went to activate a newly flashed phone on my test account only to find that my normal activation method (through the Sprint Zone after cancelling the hands-free activation) no longer worked. The message was that I needed to take my phone to a Sprint store to activate it.
So I just figured I missed some minute detail flashing the phone or I had a bad donor phone. I flashed this Galaxy S2 again using a different donor phone and received the same results.
I then proceeded to try and re-activate several Evo's and Galaxy's that I had recently flashed and activated on the same test account a few day's earlier with the same results.
I am no newcomer to flashing. Has anyone heard of Sprint taking any counter-measures to prevent flashed phones from activating on the Boost network?
I have tried manually entering the phone number and MSID. I can get the phones to work but no internet.Keep in mind that these phones were all activated a few day's ago with no problem.
Any help would be appreciated as I have 5 or 6 Ebay customers who will be calling me today for help with their activation and I will not be able to activate their phones.
(TL;DR at the bottom)
This morning, I swapped to my old Evo 4g (rooted as well) because I was going to be doing community service all day and didn't want anything to happen to my Epic 4g.
First thing I noticed was that there was no 3g on my Evo. I shrugged this off because 4g was working, and I only needed data for a short period of time.
After switching back to my rooted Epic, I followed the instructions, and it reset after putting in a stream of numbers and symbols.
When booting, I saw a custom boot animation, but everything else looked pretty stock. None of my apps, stock TW launcher, etc.
I shut off the phone, booted into recovery, wiped, and did a nandroid restore from yesterday's backup. Then I updated profile and PRL. I was able to make calls and send text messages, but no 3g (symbol said 3g with grey arrows though).
I also tried flashing a new ROM, but that didn't give me back 3g (symbol was still there).
I haven't been able to try 4g on the Epic yet because I haven't been able to get back to the side of town where the 4g towers reach.
Finally, I called Sprint to see if they could help me out.
They ran me through updating my Profile and PRL, turning WiFi on/off, turning 3g on/off, and even manually setting some of the network configurations (using MSL's, changing MSID, etc.)
After a good hour on the phone, I still have no 3g. D:
They told me that they put in a "Network Support Ticket" and some technicians will work on this for the next 36 hours.
TL;DR: Swapped from Epic --> Evo --> Epic in a 24 hour period, and there is no 3g. Tried updating Profile/PRL, flashing a new ROM, a nandroid restore, and calling Sprint, but still no 3g (even though the symbol is still showing)
Can you guys please help me shed some light on this?
Thanks!
(In case it matters, I'm running the Stock+ ROM from the Mortify Thread)
I really am not sure but you should try calling Sprint, pulling out the battery and ask for an RTN reset. I used this off an Evo thread when I had connection issues with my Epic after going full retard and doing an EFS clear with Odin. The RTN reset on the phone didn't work for me so I think it is different and the tech told me they have resets for voice, SMS, and data but I forget which this is for. If nothing else ask them to do a voice, SMS, and data reset on your line.
Sent from My Phone with An App.
I was just about to call them, but had an idea.
I unrooted and 3g came back!
Shortly after, I re-rooted, and am happily using 3g
Thank you!
If anyone else has this problem, I used this to unroot, and this to re-root.
XDA community, you're the greatest
Glad to hear you got it working. Odin works wonders!
