[Q] Sprint Epic 4G Touch (NY,USA) Baseband

My rooting went horribly wrong.
I admit, I rushed it, was sleep deprived, and inpatient.
Right now, my phone looks very much like stock BUT
My issue is: I have no provider set on my phone. In other words, its as if my phone is unable to connect to Sprint's network.

When I try to update the PRL from system updates, below is the result...
I used some combination of the following files:
SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse
S2Root_1.4.3_Release
Litening_Rom_v6-1.rar
acs-eb30-clockwork-epic-touch-4g-sep-20-4-00-pm.tar
EG30-Stock-OdexV2.zip
Stock-EG30.tar
Also tried calling sprint customer support...no help
At this point, what would be the fastest way to get my phone into a state in which it is once again recognized by Sprint

I don't think a prl update will populate the baseband version.
Have you tried starting over by flashing Stock-EG30.tar ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282420 ) and then doing a factory reset?
After that, update both your profile and prl.
By the way...
some of the files you listed appear to be for the i9100. Despite the similar naming convention, the Epic Touch (D710) is different from the i9100 and cannot directly re-use i9100 roms, kernels, etc.

which rom should i be using?

Um, you realize that the superclick instructions you followed are intended for international SGS2 users, not Epic Touch?

oops. still, one of u guys must be able to figure this out. I've been working on it a lot, first day with the droid, was trying to root my GF's phone and I pooped her new toy. I was all confident cause I knew how to JB iphones. I've got a sprint ticket to get it fixed.
By the way, in doing so I obtained my MSL...

I'm thinking you hosed your modem. The first three things you mentioned in the list you tried are, as was pointed out, for the International version. By flashing these you've put the wrong radio into your phone.
This thread has a link to a modem.bin download.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17617227
Search the Dev thread (sorry, on my phone so I can't come up with the link) on how to flash it. Once you do that, flash "stock kernel pulled from unrooted phone" (you'll see a link to it in the thread I just gave you). Then I think you'll be ok.
And, even though it's the same basic phone, ONLY flash stuff you find in this forum.
.....

Why are all these people flashing things from another phone? Thyself like the first rule of flashing. Flash the eg30 tar and then the eg30 modem.bin for your baseband. Thy should fix it. Good luck.

Thank you kindly! Everything works

Note to self: Do NOT flash my Epic 4G Touch using international versions of firmware...

Just received the warranty replacment for Tmo Note 3

Ok i'll keep this simple. I just got the tmobile note 3 replacement. And now I want to transfer everything over.
But first please point me with links and directions to how to do this quickest easiest and fool proof.
I'm not sure what firmware this replacement will have if its the latest NF1 when i boot i up with tmobile
Tell me there is a simple way to give it root and more importantly change the recovery to TWRP latest version.
I'm hoping there is a 1 step solution/windows app that will do all that. I just need tha done. THen I will just swap the microsd into the replacement and load the entire image stored on the card to the new phone. Is it really that simple? please let me know what I'm missing.
Don't tell me the NF1 carrier upgraded devices can't be unlocked. please i have no idea how to do this, don't just point me into the right threads, I have a disability of sifting thru info i am legally disabled. Pleaes help me make this transition as easy as possible.
My deepest thanks.

Do you mind me asking what is wrong with your phone?
You can always Odin back the replacement phone to ne6 and make sure you do the bootloader too, and then use towelroot to reroot. Then just use titanium backup to back up your stuff from your old phone (assuming you already have root) then restore on the new phone.

Is it normal for everything to be NF except the baseband is still stuck at the old one. Is this normal? Is there a 900T NF1 bootloader? I heard nf1 HAS A NEW bootloader, but i can't flash it up to it. I've attached a screetshot.
Also, I CANT TETHER FOR FREE NO MORE! On my old note 3 with any ROM that doesn't do the tmobile tether turn on check, I can use tether unlimited by connecting to a proxy on my computer, but now for osme reason, it always redirects me to an upsell page just like on tmobile's official ROMs is there a new way around it? When I connect to the note 3 AP on my computer it automatically says theres "limited connectivity" please help, I want it the way of how it was on my note 3, does it have to do with the new radio? or is it something else? thanks.

[Q] sprint s3 on verizon prepaid lost data. please help

I bought a Sprint S3 activated on Verizon prepaid. I had voice, talk, and data but no mms. I was trying to fix the mms issue and I lost network from entering in a secret code. I don't know if it was a factory reset or an update. I called Verizon prepaid and they had me do *228 to reactivate my phone. The reactivation restored voice and text but NO DATA, and of course still no mms. I can get into data programming using ##data# but I'm unsure of what the fields should contain. How do I get my mobile data back? I had it, so I know it's possible!!!! Someone please tell me the values of each field so I can verify the information.
(have figured out i bought a phone that has a cloned esn so Verizon tech support can't help b/c they think i have a different phone - this seems fishy and i wouldn't have bought this phone if i knew)
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Dial ##72786#, it's a data reset

ok, I tried the ##72786# and I think this is the exact code that messed things up in the first place. After doing this the phone tries to do hands free activation (probably for sprint) but I am now on verizon prepaid. When I go into about phone it has the wrong phone number. I am about to do the *228 to reactivate it through verizon prepaid. Maybe I'll get lucky and the data will be back on! Thanks for trying bilgerry! wish me luck

The *228 returned my voice/text service to the phone and fixed my phone number in about phone. Sadly, still no mobile data network. It worked before the data reset code! How do I return to the previous mobile data settings???????????
Thanks,
Wendy

update
After reading many forums I realize I need to use a file explorer type program to change the permissions of apn backup app and then I should be able to insert new apn into backup file and then back it up. I have hit a few snags so far. I tried titanium backup but i need to pay for the pro version for it to work, and I'm too cheap. So, I tried root explorer but I don't have enough knowledge to get the right thing changed. I may bite the bullet and pay for titanium pro unless someone here has a better suggestion of a free app. Also, does anyone have an apn xml file for me to insert into backup file when I get there? I need the one for verizon. Thanks for the help of anyone who is reading this. Wish me luck!!

almost figured it out~~~~
I figured out how to change the permissions for apn backup and restore! I backup up current apn to create the folder. I then went into backup folder and changed it to a verizon apn in xml format. After changing backup file in storage I deleted went to apn backup and restore to delete current apn and backup the modified version. It did not work but I believe I am doing it correctly I just need the correct version of the apn. Can anyone please post the apn in xml so i can copy and paste it into my backup file???
I need the current verizon apn in xml code please!!!!

No Signal - won't connect to a network...

Picked up a used AT&T Note 5 recently, everything works except it won't connect to the T-Mobile network. I had previously bought a used(white) AT&T Note 5, factory reset it, put in my t-mobile SIM and bam, I'm up and running.
But with this (black) one I've tried just about everything, adding APN, check IMEI, etc....no dice. Even tried the T-mobile customer service. They tried & checked everything, no go. They even saw the device history and it was running on t-mobile just a couple months ago with the previous owner. I've even ran a ping test and turned the radio off & on in the diagnostics *#*#4636#*#*.
After investigating other threads it seems it could possibly be Marshmallow PE6 that screwed up the radio? But I would think it had been running on that previously.
Any other ideas?

Just try downloading a different firmware(older) and pull the modem.bin out of the tar file and then re-zip it again into a modem.tar file so it can be flashed with odin but don't try going to far back like if you're on Marshmallow don't try flashing a modem from Lollipop because it won't work.. I use 7zip for the extracting and zipping of files.

Well, the plot thickens.
When I checked the IMEI before purchase on Swappa it said all was good. However, they couldn't identify the type or provider of the phone. I didn't think much of it at the time. So I decided to double check the IMEI on a different 2 other checking sights last night and I got the following info(from both!):

Clicked "Network Check" and it said: "IMEI not found on database."
Wtf? Can this be fixed? Is this causing my network issue?

I also checked the IMEI on the back cover, and it states it's clean, not blacklisted and is for an AT&T Note 5.
Anyone restore an IMEI?

Messing with the IMEI is illegal! Are you sure you didn't buy a fake phone? Do you have a picture of the front of the phone?

Download an app called phone info from the play store over wifi and see if the settings match what they're supposed to for the phone. Is there a sim card in the phone?
http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note5-7431.php

Yes it recognizes the SIM but still, no network found.
Cosmetically nice phone, guess I'll re-sell for parts.
Thanks anyway, appreciate the responses.

For tmoble you have to unlock it.

Unable to flash the desired carrier stock ROM on Galaxy S20 SM-G981U with Odin

I have a model S20 SM-G981U that is carrier locked to SPR. But it was flashed to the latest Metro rom with Odin accidently. My ultimate goal is to carrier unlock the phone.
Now with the Metro rom, it doesn't come with any carrier unlock app to unlock the phone. I tried flashing the phone back to Sprint using the following ROM:
Download SM-G981U / Galaxy S20 5G SM-G981U SPR in Samfw - Samsung firmware download
SM-G981U / Galaxy S20 5G SM-G981U SPR samsung firmware download all model, lastest, fast update, completely free and fast speed in Samfw.com ✅
samfw.com
Odin shows that the flashing was successful, and the phone was successfully factory reset after the flash.

However, the phone still shows that it is on Metro after everything is finished:
What am I doing wrong??
TIA for any help or advise you can give.

The phone detects the CSC to use from the SIM. Do you have Metro SIM?

Oh that was a brilliant suggestion, ShaDis. I had hoped that it was the case. I just removed the Sim card that was in it, a Cricket Wireless sim, and tried reflashing the phone and the same thing happened It's still showing the Metro logo when the phone starts and the same "TMK/TMK/SPR" as the provider software in the Software info screen.

Did you ever get a solution to this issue? I have the same problem with an accidental metro pcs flahs. Thanks

I do not understand what the problem is. Update was successful. What is wrong?

There's no such thing as an "accidental metro pcs flash". The Metro model has the exact same model number as the Sprint model, and the firmware is also identical.
Since T-Mobile bought Sprint, Sprint's devices have automatically been made compatible with T-Mobile. That means that when you insert a T-Mobile SIM into a Sprint device (even if it's still SIM locked), it's gonna give you the popup prompt to "reboot to apply new carrier settings" (as if it were SIM unlocked). That's because it no longer needs to be unlocked in order to be used on T-Mobile.
And, since T-Mobile owns Metro, the same thing probably goes for a Metro SIM.

I found out that they all use the same flash firmware files. When the phone detects a sim card in it, it would show the appropriate carrier's logo. My phone was locked to Sprint previously, so I couldn't get it unlocked by calling T-mobile. So I'm stuck with a phone that will only work with T-Mobile

I was on the phone with T-Mobile customer service for a couple of hours and they kept transferring me back and forth. I gave up with T-mobile. Are you that wise man who knows the answer to my quest?
