[Q] 4G on Boost Mobile via CLEAR

Before I ask my question let me address the trolls that might mess up this thread and end up getting it locked.....
1. I'm not trying to ask for a guide
2. I'm not trying to debate whether is illegal or legal to have a flash evo on boost
3. I'm just asking a question, nothing more...nothing less
OK with that said, I wanted to know if anyone on Boost Mobile using the original EVO has successfully got 4G to work using Clear and if you did, how are your speeds?
The reason I'm asking is because I saw this video about a week or two ago and was like "OK, this is a joke and the guy is just full of it" BUT as I started to do my own research on it, I found that it might be possible. NOT as easy as the guy below makes it seem BUT it MIGHT be possible....

K, I'm not sure about Boost Mobile as I am not on their network, BUT, as I am on a different network myself. In my case, MobiPCS, which is basically the same type of carrier anyway. However, I'm guessing that it should apply with ye too.
I'm in the process of tying my 4G to Clear too. In fact, I've already made the modifications on my e4g to enable clearwire service on it and I've already confirmed that it works. I've as yet to actually activate my service (meaning unrestricted access to the internet) on it tho.
The reason why I think it should apply to you is that all the modifications are in the basic settings of the phone which has nothing to do with what rom you are using.
Before I start, I should mention that to cover xda and mine ass:
"You are responsible for any modifications done to your phone, the information provided are for educational and informational purposes. Any modifications done to your phone may result in an unuseable (bricked) phone which will be your responsibility to deal with. Under no circumstances will xda nor I will be held responsible for any damages or problems arising from any modifications done by you on your phone."
Ok, now that the legalese are out of the way...
Go to Phone and enter "##3282#" on the dial pad.
The phone will then initialize the EPST (don't ask me what epst means, I dunno ...yet).
It will then ask you which Mode you want to be in. I suggest View first to familiarize yourself without chance of screwing up something in there. Be aware a incorrect setting could result in a bricked phone, so be careful. When you are ready, select Edit Mode. Then phone will ask you for the MSL code. There are ways of finding out that code, but I won't get into that now, you can find that information by searching the forums.
Hit WiMAX > Realm
It probably will still be the default "sprintpcs.com." Change that string to "clearwire-wmx.net"
Hit the menu button and select "Commit Modifications." Be patient, it can take up to a few minutes for the phone to do the modifications.
You will know if the modifications took if the NAI string changes from
"[email protected]" to "[email protected]" Remember, "device_MAC_address" is the actual 12-digit MAC address of your phone. This is important: make SURE your listed mac address MATCHES the actual mac address printed on the back of the phone under the battery. If it's incorrect, I'm sure you can fix that, but you'll have to search these forums for that information as I did'nt have that problem with my e4g, but I DO have that problem with my e3D, but haven't gotten around to dealing with that (have other problems on my e3D that requires more immediate attention).
Back out of EPST and go to Setting > Wireless & networks > 4G settings. Click on 4G to turn on the antenna. It should then start saying it's connecting to network. Once connected it probably will say "Connected to Sprint" when you're actually connected to clearwire. I understand you can change the above string to "Connected to Clearwire" but I don't know how ...yet. I wanna do this myself too. Probably have to use Root Explorer (or similar software and edit something).
Go to your favorite browser and try connect to a website. Instead it should be automatically redirected to clear.com's page. This is normal when you don't have an account/service associated with the connecting device mac address. It should ask you somewhere whether you want to add this device. Click on it and it should then go to a page where it will ask you whether you want to use the connecting device. Check the bottom and make sure the mac address given there matches your device. If it is the same, you're good to go and activate service or associate that device to an existing service. Be aware that you can only have up to 3 devices associated to a given service, pending on the plan you choose. I currently have the Pick-2 plan and will soon upgrade to the Pick-3 plan which allows 3 different devices on the same account.
Once you activate new or associate an existing service to your device, Clearwire will add your mac address to it's server's list of devices authorized to connect to the clear service. And voila! your online with clear!
Hope this helps. I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be cleared to connect your boosted e4g (sorry, couldnt resist the pun).

Thanks dude!!

Unfortunately, I called Clear today before doing all this editing and stuff AND found out that service isn't provided in the Pensacola area
I WILL keep this mind for when I'm in Jacksonville, FL which service is provided and try it out....THANKS again Lanaka!

Dude, chill. If you READ before posting, you MAY note that there is no phone cloning nor any subscriber fraud involved here. All we are doing is to tell the phone where to go connect for 4G service. No fraud involved when youre hooking up YOUR own phone to YOUR own phone and/or 4G service.
Oh another thing, ...lay off on the excessive abuse of red text. That is as tasteless as writing an entire post in ALL-CAPS.
Jeez, the immaturity of peoples nowdays....

Ahh, thats a bummers! I know the feeling bro! I dont have clear Clear coverage (pardon the pun, its NOT intentional, hehe) at home. However i have pretty good signal at most of the other places where i'd connect. I already have both mobpcs and clear services, separately tho, and generally hapy with both.

P.S.: before any other jacks start flaming away, please note the above is MY opinion only. If you aint got nothing to contribute but negativity, id rather you NOT post a reply AND keep it to yerself. Thank you very much!

For some reason when i did this. i put the clear-wmx.net in EPST and commited. after that i turned 4g on and it didnt connect to clears website it just started working but its slow and btw i dont have any type of clear account

Aloha Alienx.
Based on what you wrote it appears that you re not actually connecting to Clear's 4G service. You first must make sure that you are actually in the service coverage area. You can check by hitting their coverage map page:
http://www.clear.com/coverage
Next, check your notification bar, which service icon is on? 4G, 3G, 2X or 1X? Or is wifi on (the rainbow-like symbol)? I suspect you are either not in a service area and using 3G/2X/1X or using a slow wifi.
The reason why I think so is because if you try access Clear, their servers will first check your connecting device's mac address against their list of authorized devices. If it is not on their list your connection will auto directed to their web pages to be given an opportunity to sign up to their services. At this point you can then let them save your device's mac addy to the server's list of authorized accessing devices (assuming you signed up and paid for their services).
-Lance
PS: a final thing, make sure the EPST has the correct mac addy as your device's id. It has been know to happen where the phone's id number in the software side did NOT match what was in the hardware.

A "Pro" Flashing my Epic 4G to Metro

Bought an Epic 4G Touch and found a local guy on craigslist who's going to do a full flash to MetroPCS. I'm wondering if anybody has any suggestions as to what questions I should ask the guy. I'm new to this whole thing, this is my first smart phone, but I'm a quick learner.
From what I understand from my research, he's going to have to flash a custom rom on it in order for the phone's features to be fully operational. Is it important I find out which rom so I can perform my own updates, or is it going to be obvious what he did simply by looking in the settings?
Am I going to have to avoid OTA updates? Or do I just install Rootkeeper to get the updates?
I also assume that by doing this I will be stuck using the custom rom, right? Or as long as my ESN is added to the Metro system I can change it to any rom I can find that is fully operational with Metro?
Is there any other vital information I should make sure to ask for in case I need to configure anything in the future?
Would it be smarter for me to just ask him to add my ESN to metro and then flash it myself? (If I can find a guide online-- links, anybody?)
Feel free to add any information that you think might help!
Thanks in advance.

its pretty much about manually programming in your data settings 100% correctly. anyone can add an meid/esn into their database and program in your phone number(##SPC#). if you research online you can find the exact settings. i dont believe metro uses wap anymore so that certainly makes things easier.
you should be able to use ANY rom and be able to call/text/use data. the only issue you will run into(maybe.. i dont use metro) would be mms. mms sometimes is custom built for a specific phone/carrier. when you see metro/cricket custom roms.. thats generally the big modification.. the mms. you may get some little edits here and there.. changing the word sprint to metro etc... but otherwise thats pretty much it. as is.. the epic 4g touch can be manually programmed with any cdma carriers data profiles for 3g.
if you dont care about mms.. its a 100% no brainer.. take the time and do it yourself. if mms is a must.. do a little research to see if others on metro got mms working.. there will be people talking about it somewhere on the internet.
and just to add.. if u do use a custom rom for metro.. you will be stuck with that rom(unless its a freely available custom rom.. but those are rare these days.. most are sold on cdma forums for lots of $$$).

I will preface this with I've never done this before so I don't know the outcome. That said, at least in my area, the 4g is not compatible with lte, metro doesn't have 3g but 2g rttx1 should work. I don't know about you but if it were me, I wouldn't do it. That's like putting a restricting device on a Porsche so that its top speed is 30mph. 2g is practically dial up speeds. Do what you will though...

Thanks so much, great information. Question- Do you mean I can add my own ESN into the Metro Database myself? I thought only Metro reps could do that (independent ones for under the table).
As for the rest of the data settings, when searching for this information online, do I need to look specifically for Epic 4g Touch, or the data settings will be the same no matter what phone?

Actually I don't care about mms, as long as I can do regular text messages (sms). Does this mean that if I don't care for MMS I can actually get the Epic Touch fully operational on the stock rom?

So I couldn't re-flash it to a different rom? It's not "reversible"? (If it is possible- would I lose all the Metro data if I changed the rom?)
Thanks for the help, I've been Googling around like crazy trying to find more info, but not finding a lot. I probably should of gotten a more commonly metro flashed phone, lol. I'll keep looking around and see if I can find any guides, if I find one and can do everything myself I'd rather go that route (not to save money, just to be able to troubleshoot any issues that may arise in the future).
Edit: I've found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8395950 that looks like it might be exactly what I need to do (up to step 28), and someone on this Epic Touch Forum recommended another member to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1303507 but it's for Evo 3D, so not sure if it would work for the Epic. The guide starts off for phones already "flashed to metro with text and talk", though. I think I still need to pay the "Pro" to get my ESN added to the Metro Network? Are they able to add the ESN to the Metro Database and get text/talk working without flashing a custom rom?
Sorry... so many questions. I'll give lots of thanks =(
EDIT #2:
Think I got it now. Looks like I will need to get the phone Metro Flashed through my guy for talk and text (I can ask if his MMS/Web method involves a custom rom, if so I'll pass) then I can activate web (and MMS I guess) myself through these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1303507
At this point (correct me if I'm wrong) I won't be locked into any custom roms and I can freely upgrade to any freely available rom (ie CM7) without affecting my Metro settings?

really not sure what the best procedure is for getting your esn added to the DB.. i would think any 3rd party metro store would be able to add it into system... as well as some people on craigslist. just look for the cheapest option.
once your esn ins in the system.. you pick a plan.. program in your phone number and msid (##SPC#) as well as write a metro PRL to the phone... and thats it for working talk/text. thats the "basic flash" most people do. only thing you cant do yourself is add meid.
and then you will eventually program data. the steps for evo 3d should be very similar to epic. other than how to get the phones into DIAG mode.. what to manually add is the same across the board... tho your username/password will be unique to you. (ppp password is based off esn.. username will be based on phonenumber).
i believe metro has recently added 3G in SOME areas.. so theres a small chance youll have that. and as for 4G... see my epic 4g touch thread on how to edit wimax settings...
ive said enough.. you should be able to take it from here.
edit: as for being "stuck" with a custom metro rom.. youd have the option to reflash anything youd like.. but the custom metro settings would probably no longer work. it would suck to pay for a custom rom that you end up wanted to switch out anyway(since it wouldnt be updated like he rest of the roms). i say pay the $10.. 15..20.. whatever it is to have esn added to the system.. then do the rest yourself.

If you search on ebay. There is a guy that can add your esn to metro for $25. Then you can flash your own custom rom, but you would have to setup your own data. If you search around, there are threads about how to setup data for metropcs around the web.

Ran outta thanks, I'll get you tomorrow
I looked it up on ebay and there's only a couple up atm and they end up being a lot, ie the cheapest is $20 but then they charge $25 shipping lol <.<
Luckily, the local guy I found on Craigslist (there are actually a lot independent metro stores in the area advertising actually) will add ESN and get talk & text working for $35. So it's not a bad deal. From there I'll get the rest working myself.
Although I'm gonna ask him about his MMS method, if it involves a custom rom I have been contemplating getting it. I been researching and it looks like all I have to do is backup the custom rom with nandroid, and I can flash to whatever rom I want, then I can always revert to the custom rom if I really want MMS working again-- if I'm unable to get it working myself.

My used Epic 4G Touch arrives in a few hours!
First thing I plan on doing is a full restore and then installing EL13+CWM. After this I'll get take it to the independent Metro store to get it flashed over to Metro. Then I'll make my first nandroid backup.
Question- By making the nandroid backup I can always revert back to the Metro data settings my guy configured, right? (In the case they get deleted through rom flashing).
Can I see all the settings he configured by reading the values set through CDMA Workshop? Would this include everything needed to make the phone fully functional on Metro again (outside of the possible custom rom to make MMS work)?
Thanks in advance.

nandroid wont restore data settings... but you wont need to as 3g data profiles(as well as talk/text) stick after new roms. only a ##786# full reset will wipe those settings.
you should be able to see most if not all settings with cdma ws/qpst service programming.
1. Phone number/msid has to be programmed.
2. Metro PRL Flashed
3. after step two you now have talk/text.
4. Program in 3G Profile 0/1.
5. Program PPP data profile.
6. Done. Only thing I skipped is MMS.. which will most likely be covered by a custom metro rom.. tho maybe you could take the mms ap out of the custom rom to use... but im just guessing at this point.

yes it is possible to change an meid... but i'm not sure why ##MSL# is mentioned... the two are not related.

Hmmm... I'm stuck on this step :
USB Storage Mode is OFF - [Drag down the notification bar and tap on "USB Connected" - should be off by default]
When I click on USB Connected it just sends me back to Home. Any ideas?

EDIT: figured it out, had to re-install drivers and change the default location to 32-bit
Nope, still no go... Hmm Maybe I'll uninstall drivers and reinstall them. Problem is my PC isn't recognizing phone as a drive, just a device.
Yeah I dunno, gonna give up installing EL13+CWM for now and go get it flashed.
I think the problem is, when I connect the device I get "Samsung Mobile MTP Device Failed"
I downloaded the Samsung USB/Android drivers [USB/Android] and have Kies installed (Kies can't even recognize it though).

Thanks, but no go. Have debugging checked. (I followed the tutorials to the letter)

youre trying to root?

I successfully rooted with the full restore, what I tried to do next was install EL13+CWM and I noticed 2 things:
1st) I can't get past this step: USB Storage Mode is OFF - [Drag down the notification bar and tap on "USB Connected" - should be off by default - pic] (ie when I tap on "USB Connected" it just takes me back to the home screen.
2nd) I continued with the tutorial since it says it should be set correctly as default, but then when the E4GT automated rooting package (not to root, but to install EL13+CWM) it hangs saying "Waiting for device to be connected"
When looking for an answer I discovered this:Why is the install stuck waiting for device to be connected? which gave me some ideas to try, although I've tried all of them to no avail.
I should note that when I go to start->run->devmgmt.msc this:
Code:
Android Phone
SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface
Modem
SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem
isn't listed there, like it says it should here.
I think I'm going to try to reinstall all the drivers again... Should I do this before or after connected the phone? (The first time I installed the USB/Android drivers from the tutorial before connecting my phone, but I notice after connecting the phone windows goes through the automated process of installing drivers)

<face palm>
http://androidadvices.com/enable-usb-storage-android-devices/
It was so simple, lol... To my own defense this wasn't anywhere in the tutorials
Thanks again for the help guys
EDIT: Well, looks like my problem is still here, the E4GT automated rooting package still hangs searching for device to be connected.
EDIT #2: Omg... Finally figured it out. I thought debugging was enabled (it shows a freakin' check mark) but it has to be a green check mark apparently...
Weee installed CWM, now to create a nandroid and start flashing! Think I'm going for Calkulin's rom with the ICS Theme

Another question!
Hey guys, question:
I got 2 E4GT's flashed over to MetroPCS, both are working fine, but one of them gives me this error on bootup:
Code:
Error 67: Registration failure. Your Sprint data service username
and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again.
Any ideas? Aside from the nuisance, it hasn't seemed to cause any hindrance to the features. The other phone has never given this error, though. Both are running on Calk's rom. Thx guys.

if its only at bootup i wouldnt worry too much. its just the firmware trying to get a sprint connection and it failing.. since youre connected to metro. i would check ##data# > view > data profile/username.. compare whats listed for the one thats working to the one thats giving the error. are they both the same? if not, make them the same and perhaps you can avoid the error. if they are the same... its probably some little data setting somewhere that the phone doesnt like and likely not worth the hassle of poking at it more. like i first said.. the error at boot really isnt a huge deal. if it was a constant error that kept popping up then its something to look at.

[Q] Need help getting an EVO on MetroPCS...

Hi all,
Thanks for a least looking at this thread and providing feedback. So here is my situation.
1. Bought EVO 4g from a friend who bought new phone and transferred his phone number from Sprint to Verizon so the phone does not have access to Sprint's network.
2. My wife has a crappy MetroPCS phone I would like to replace with the EVO 4g.
3. I have all the software that has been talked about in many threads here: diagnosis drivers, cdma workshop, prl, and a few other things which I can't remember.
4. I have rooted the phone with S-OFF and currently running MetrogenMod 4.5
Q1: Does the phone need to be on the Sprint network in order for me to get the phone working on MetroPCS?
Q2: After reading all of the forums it sounds like the phone will magically work on MetroPCS' network, but something tells me I'm missing something?
Q3: How do I get my wife's phone number transferred over to this phone? It seems I can only transfer the current phone number that the phone has even though it is not mine.
Thanks again in advance and I apologize if these questions have been asked before, but I did not see any.
Jamdev12
PS: Ok after reading and getting familiar with this stuff it seems there are two ways of doing this, but I rather get some expertise from someone first :
1. Easiest method. Call MetroPCS and request an ESN swap. Since I own both phones I don't foresee this as illegal and I've heard of people successfully getting this done.
2. Hardest method and possibly bricking the phone. Call Sprint and request MLS number. Then use the software that is available to get ESN from old phone and write it to the new phone. If done right, the new phone will act and connect as if it were the old phone.
To all, am I correct in the above assumptions?

You shouldn't need to call sprint for your msl..search the play store for "msl reader". It'll save you that hassle anyways. ....Did a quick search and found this guide over on af.. http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/538899-guide-metro-pcs-donor-flash.html .. I flashed to boost so thats the extent of my experience. Hope it helps.

Hi nrvlljr,
Thanks for the encouragement. Unfortunately it did not work for me. For some reason the phone is unable to log into the MetroPCS network as my old phone. One thing that confused me about the instructions was to save the nam1 and Nam2 data for my old phone because not once after that did I use this data to reprogram the new phone. All it says is to replace the ESN and meid numbers in the nvm folder and reboot.
Next I tried the MetroPCS tutorial in the developer forum to get MetroPCS working, ROM and everything without success. I'm able to connect via roaming, but not on my current phone number.
Anyways, if you or anyone here has any ideas, I would gladly appreciate it. At least the phone is not bricked, yet.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, so after more fiddling, I was able to get Data working, but no talk and text. To get data working, I had to run DFS to import the latest PRL from MetroPCS into the phone. Once I did that and rebooted the phone, 3G started to work, but still could not get Talk and Text to work.
Then I did the worst thing that I could have done, I think. I order for me to get Talk and Text working, I took the phone to a MetroPCS. Well, I let them run the phone through Houdini and now Talk and Text work, but I can't get 3G to work even though I have a plan that has Talk, Text and Data and I have reloaded the MetroPCS PRL in the phone.
Has anyone ran into this problem? Would I have to get my phone off the MetroPCS database in order for me to get 3G running again? Any help would be gladly appreciated.

Hello, I, new here..
I have literally tried everything i have read from forum to forum, post to post, from installing DIAG drivers to QPST, apn, anycut, everything i have found and cannot make my EVO to connect to the web. My sister had this phone fully working (except 4G) and now that i transferred it to my account i make calls and text but not MMS or WEB. less 3G. I am very frustrated but willing to keep on reading instructions if anyone would be able to help!!. Thank you very much and you guys are doing a very great job. miraculously i am obtaining knowledge i never even though it existed! unfortunately havent being able to solve my problem.

What kind of phone did you use for the donor flash? I had this problem with my old evo 4g. I had it donor flashed from a freeform 1. Even though I was paying for 3g the evo didnt get it. I assumed it was because my freeform didnt have 3g so the ESN being read by the network on my evo didnt require it to send 3g data. Just a guess

Yes I have Read Those several Times. But its a No Go. (Samsung Replenish & Htc Evo ) Are The Phones Im Working With.
I Have All The NV Files But When I enter them Into The Phone It Does Not Work.
I Had The Phone On With A HTC Touch Pro 1 but just activated it before I knew about getting the ha aaa first. So I only Had 1X. But When I Turn the Pro Back On I Couldnt get the Evo To Work Again. So I Switched To the Samsung But it never has Activated the Evo Since.
Im Wordering if I should Go back to stock RUU Then Put in all The Ha aaa's The Try The OTA Again.

Well I Did manage to get my evo working, it still has some bugs... For some reason the phone goes to a sleep mode or something and when someone calls me it goes straight to voice mail, also I don't receive my text messages sometimes for 20 to 30 mins or hours after someone sends them. i can make a call & Then it seems to work right. I have had a few times where when I tried calling out it didn't seem to work either, I think it would go to there voice mail or say this call could not be completed or something. ( It doesn't do that very often)..
It Seems Like It has this problem of losing the network after I switch towers from one town to another or when I plug it in to a computer or charger but not for sure.
My internet seems to work always weather 3G or wifi though 3G sometimes is really slow untill I reboot my phone & seems to pick up for a while.
Thanks

Sounds like you might need to update your PRL. (either automatically or manually). Have you done that yet? You should update your data profile also while you're at it.
pm me if you need more

I having a similar problem with my phone, my phone does show 3g icon however I m only getting 130kbps. I been reading all over the internet until I found this post that shows that AAA key is phone specific and if not configure phone get stuck on 1x. I think that I might have changed this value by mistake, not sure, question is where can I find out the correct value for my Evo? Phone is flashed to carrrier in Dominican Republic, voice works fine. Carrier will not provide much help. Also if any one can advice of correct data configuration for this phone, what type of credentials I need, just to double check data configuration, as I stated carrier customer service will not provide much help. I am using DFS tool to update PRL, etc. Really appreciate any help on this!!!!

Well one solution would be to swap handsets on your account with your carrier to a phone that you'll be able to read all the required info from. Then read and save. Then write the correct info onto your Evo and switch handsets back. The downside to this is it requires you to have another phone... But it will work.

LG LS-980 Sprint to NET10 driving me crazy!!!!!

Hello,
First, let me express my deepest thanks in advance for those of you who may be of assistance. I have visited this site many times over the years when I needed to find the answers to smartphone related issues (mostly rooting..etc). I have usually found the information that I needed via reading posts and trial and error; however, I am having a problem that I cannot find the answer to and it is frustrating the crap out of me.
So, here goes:
I bought a LG LS980 off of Ebay. It was locked to Sprint and I had a friend of mine root it (since I couldn't figure it out and it ended up being that the firmware had to be downgraded since a patch was bumped to it) and unlocked (or so i was told, but I do not know how to find out). It is currently running Cyanogenmod 12.1. I wanted to use my old phone's SIM and pop it into my new phone so that I could enjoy it (the old phone was a Nexus and ran hella slow). So, anyway.... I contacted NET10 customer support since that is my carrier and explained what I wanted to do. They let me know that as long as it is unlocked that I would be able to just swap the SIM into the new phone and should be good to go. They checked my IMEI and said that the phone was, indeed, compatible and as long as it is unlocked it should just be a matter of a simple ROM swap. Not the case. I put the SIM in and booted it up. It went from No Service to saying "Sprint" on the upper left hand corner. I try to make a call and it states that, "The code or number that I am dialing is incorrect, please try the code or number again". I looked this up on the internet and didn't find a focused answer. I talked to my friend and he stated that I may have to set up a new APN profile.
I have checked the APN settings on it and all of the APN profiles have the prefix "Verizon". I used this mini tutorial at http://forums.androidcentral.com/goo...-settings.html along with the NET10 settings to try and make a profile. Both of their workarounds don't seem to work. I can enter about half of the information and then either click BACK or SAVE and then the profile is gone. I am not sure this is the reason that my phone is not working, but I thought I would give it a try. I have also tried to use this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798566 as a loose guide, TWRP installed. Keep in mind that I believe that my firmware was rolled back to ZVE. and not ZVD. When I have tried to edit the build.prop values at the tutorial states it does not save. Also, there are two lines that are not even in my build.prop (ro.build.target_operator and persist.service.crash.enable). When I have tried to edit or add it adds them but does not save and definitely does not persist through reboot. I feel as if I am close to getting the phone to work, but I am unsure where to go from here. I really do NOT want to have to go back to a stock ROM and all of that because....well.... my friend did the rooting and installing of cyanogenmod and I don't want to risk undoing all of his work and having to pay $ to have it done all over again (I have rooted phones..etc, but this G2 was a MOFO because of the firmware patch for me). NET10 CS and TS was of no help and they gave me a ticket number (and to tell you the truth the are outsourced and I can't understand what their reps are saying). So, does anyone have any advice or threads that I can look at? Like I said, I feel as if it is close, but no matter what number I call it says that recording. I get no incoming calls (although it rings when listening to the incoming calling phone's speaker). I am also unable to send or receive SMS or MMS messages. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not the most technically savvy person, but I can answer your questions to the best of my ability and I am good at following directions. (I have about 5-6 phone root/ROMS under my belt and even 2-3 SPRINT to NET10 activations, but this one is just perplexing the crap out of me) . Could it be that the phone is not unlocked???? How do I check this??? Is there a way??? When I put in the NET10 SIM it never asked me for an unlock code so I am assuming that my friend unlocked it? I have also tried "Turn the phone ON and type 2945#801# If nothing happens, type 2945#802# or 2945#*803#" and no hidden menu appears asking for an unlock code.
