Yes. Just call them and tell them you are having problems.
Find the "getspc" application.
Now enter ##3282# in the phone app, click "edit" and enter the
code the SPC app gave you.
In EPST click "view info" then Advanced.
In most cases the MSID will simply be your phone number.

exactly. I didnt bother writing anything down, since Sprint's setup is pretty easy. your MSID is your phone number, you just need getspc, punch in your ESN and it gives you your 6 digit MSL number.
telus is ever easier ... just dial the OTA programming line and it i will put it back in.
hey
i dont remember the telus # anyone have it so i can reprogarm my phone sucks not havein it workin with the new rom
well nvm i just found the telus number and sweet the net is so fast now
Carrier: Alltel
Started with WM5 ROM.
Flashed to DCD's 2.1 WM6 ROM last week, no issues noted.
Yesterday flashed to 2.2 WM6.1 ROM and now whenever I get a data session going in a strong EVDO area I get dropped down to 1x when the data session finishes connecting?
I've moved back to 2.1, used no2chems 6.1 ROM and back to DCD's 6.1 ROM. Same problem all around now.
Radio problem maybe? Or user? If radio, anyone get me a link to the original 1.4?
Thanks in advance if anyone has any tips, I've tried looking around but only find people with MMS or other issues.
---------------------
This solution apparently only works for Alltel customers, if anyone finds solutions for Sprint/Verizon/Telus I'll add the solution to this post.
ALLTEL:
1. Enter EPST (##778), Edit (password= 000000).
2. View Info (left soft key).
3. Choose the "Security" item.
4. In the "HDR AN AUTH Password(LONG)" field, click to highlight.
5. Menu (right soft key), Edit
6. In the "Value" field, enter your Hex ESN (make sure all characters are CAPITAL, lowercase will FAIL).
7. Ok. Menu. Ok to save, then reset.

Hey in case you guys are still having problems with this, I can tell you what worked for me with Sprint.
You'll need your unlock code, if you don't have it, you've gotta get it from either Sprint or from one of the tutorials i've seen floating around here and other forums.
1. Sync your titan to back up your data.
2. ##786# Choose edit, enter your unlock code, then choose menu>restore. This will reset everything to factory settings.
3. Reset
3. ##UNLOCKCODE# Again choose edit.
4. Both MDN and MSID should be your wireless number (this was confirmed by Sprint T2 tech support)
5. Reset
6. Call your voicemail to make sure your phone service is working.
7. Connect to the internet. It should trigger IOTA/Provisioning and then EVDO should be working.
8. Resync your **** and you're good to go.
Hope this helps, it worked for me.

I think with Alltel you get 1x when roaming. Do *228 option 3 < Thats to activate your phone if you haven't already
Then do *228 option 2 to update your roaming preferences which ridded me of roaming in coverage area!

Thanks for the response, I've been through that already and same results...
I even went back to the stock Alltel ROM and Radio, same thing.
With PRL 30029 AND 40029...
Oh well, I'll figure something out as I love the speed of DCD's 2.2!!!!

Did you check Start->Settings->Personal->Phone->Services->Mode of Operation to make sure it wasn't set to 1X only? I think that was the default setting on my phone.
I had this same problem, and then I reflashed with the 3.16 sprint rom twice and it went away.
Appreciate the responses, but I don't have the "Mode of Operation" on my Alltel 6800. And I've reflashed all kinds of ROMs with no luck...
Thanks for the ideas though...

With the newest Advanced Config app, you can unhide the "mode of operation" option in there. I got it from here somewhere, do a search. I doubt this is your issue. I had this problem yesterday with Sprint. I got data in 1xRTT, but not EVDO. I ended up calling Sprint and they had to deactivate and reactivate the internet services on my phone. Immediately it worked like a champ.
I had this problem also and was able to take care of it by going into EPST (##778) and going under the security settings and putting the ESN Hex Value of Your Phone under the HDR Password. Mine got lost whenever I upgraded the radio. This will allow you to lock back onto the EVDO network

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
That did the trick (after I did it a second time and made the letters capital) and now I'm cruising EVDO style!!
Thanks!!!!
Hi I have this same issue.
i typed ##778 send
and get the view, edit , and cancel options.
do i find the hdr password under the edit?
when i choose edit, i get a password prompt and i do not know the password.
i am on dcd rom 2.2.0
i edited mine, and it does get on ev instead of 1x so i was glad but when i opened ie i cant get a data connection up now at all???

I just checked and I have a bunch of garbled characters in this spot. Does anyone else see something like this?
What did you guys have in that slot before you added your esn hex number?
the password you need is unlock code you can only get from sprint.
i also had the weird characters, i edited these out with my esn hex as mentioned and now i cant get a data connection at all, i get an error that i cannot connect. Anyone with any idea on what i can do?
I thought of downgrading the radio and then installing this one again and starting from scratch any better ideas?
My HDR password is also extended ASCII characters, has been for every ROM version I have run, and I get EVDO and on the Internet as well. I thought that was a problem when I had no data connection from a previous ROM, but it wasn't.
What worked for me was to go all the way back to the official 2.17, then to the leaked 3.16, etc. I made sure everything was set up and working properly on each version before moving on to another ROM.

Again, I'm on Alltel so maybe for some unknown reason there is more to it for you Sprint users.
But, my MDR Password field was goofy stuff, deleted it and put in my Hex ESN in ALL CAPITALs and I stay at EVDO when my data connection is made now.
Deleted MDR PASSWORD and put esn hex, internet not working
ok guys i messed up pretty badly and deleted the MDR password and put my esn hex instead and now i cant get on the net.
I have an HTC TITAN running DCD 2.2 and latest 3.27 radio
any suggestions on how to get the password back????

yes i also have a bunch of giberish in there. i am afraid to change it becuase there will be no way for me to put that giberish back in there with all those weird looking characters.
i found the edit password which was a bunch of 00000 as many as the field would take
and i understand some people now get ev but no data connection now. i am on verizon and i dont know if that will happen to me as well.
my connection now says ev and doesnt change back to 1x anymore so i am going to leave this as is for now and not change it.
also my a-key is blank if that makes a difference. phone works fine though.

you mean hdr password right? I did not see an mdr password listed anywhere
I have Alltel and have been trying NexVision's ROM, the DCD and and and, pretty much everything I could find.
Running the 3.27.00 Radio ROM and tried a lot of ROMS of the WM 6.1 ones
I cant get any of them working right!!
I dont seem to get any success after flashing connecting to the Internet and also constantly have the roaming indicator on (that triangle on the top).
Also it changed my MSC/SPC or whatever you call it from 000000 to something else which makes it impossible for me to use the *228 to update roaming and PRL via their automated telephone thing.
Now my question is,
which is the best working ROM for the Titan on alltel? Especially how do I get the thing to connect to the Internet again???
how do I get the Titan connected to QPST in order for me to change the SPC back to 000000?????
I appreciate any help, this forum is so helpful and such great work you guys!!!!!
keep it up!!!!

It sounds like you let the Sprint customizations run. Sound about right?
Here's what I had to do after the Sprint customizations locked me out of the PST:
Geckotek said:
I flashed back to the stock VZW ROM (third time I think), I made sure all of my provisioning issues with Verizon were worked out (finally had the tech "kick the switch").
1) Then I proceeded to load the 2.4 bootloader,
2) then the 3.16 Unauthorized Sprint ROM w/ radio,
3) then finally installed a cooked DCD 2.3.2 ROM.
Things to note:
1) I never let the Sprint ROM boot up
2) I had no signal so ran *22802 then hit End as soon as it connected
3) Still no signal after reboot
4) No A key, MSID, or MDN issues, but I did re-enter the MSID and MDN as discussed in other threads
5) After re-entering MSID and MDN then after reboot I had signal
6) never had to run *228 to OTA program (in the past programming with *228 has reversed the effect of re-entering the MSID and MDN)
In general, I feel that the OTA from VZW sends down some programming that conflicts with the 3.27 radio...but I have nothing to prove that.
GPS is running great (I just loaded the AstroGPSLauncher)
Not sure about Rev A. It does seem snappy. What's a good site to test from the phone?
I'm happy and not re-flashing until a solid radio for Verizon arrives.

that all worked for you on Verozon, but I got alltel!!!
i still want to know how to change my MSC SPC, the Master Code back to 000000
and also what would you recommend is the best ROM that works for ALLTEL and also has the internet working.
I did all the MSID and MSN entering by hand.
I do get service for text messaging and Phone service as well.
i cannot get access to the internet, and also am constantly roaming. thats my issues
I have Alltel and DCD's 1.7.x ROMS are GREAT! No GPS but I don't need it.
you have a link to the ROMs??

I have Alltel PPC6800 and I am running Radio 3.27 and DCD2.3.2 just fine. Download the kitchen and run it. Alfter everything is installed then dial the *228 and pick option 3 for new phone. That will update all the settings you need.
Here is all the stuff you need. Pick which alltel rom you want. I know they all work good, some have more features.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369920
jamesfelarca:To change the PRL you can put ##775 in the dial pad and send. Then enter the 000000 for the unlock code and select update PRL ->Menu->Edit and select the current PRL (probably a good idea to have this on your memory card) http://www.corolada.com/prl/ The one you want is 30031. Also you may want to do the ##778 unlock code 000000 and then check the NAM settings MDN and MSID should be your 10 digit number.

A) What my instructions help with is flashing a Sprint ROM to a non-Sprint phone
B) My instructions show you the only way I've ever seen how to remove the MSL from the phone.
So if you want your phone to work correctly, I suggest you give it a try. Your mistake was letting the Sprint customizations run....as far as I know, that is not easily reversible.

Based on my experience, reflashing the ROM doesn't remove the MSL lock applied by the Sprint ROM. That's why I reverted to the stock bootloader and ROM/Radio.

Glad it works for you. I had problems with the radio. I was only receiving about 2/3 of sent SMS and OfficeSync did not update properly.
Here is a link to DCD's 1.7.0 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372853
I used the kitchen and it works very well for me.

I'm not sure how to change the MCL back to 000000 but if you haven't already you should be able to use GetSPC to obtain the code for your device. Once you're in EPST check your Home SID to make sure this is correct. If not there's a good chance you'll be roaming all the time. Also make sure you have the newest PRL (*228 Option 2)
For your internet connection, check EPST Security and M.IP Default Profile and make sure your NAI and UserIDs are set to your phone number @alltel.net and your AAA shared secret and PPP Password should be "alltel" without the ". Your HDR AN AUTH Password should be your ESN (Hex).
I recommend dcd 2.32 also. It's what I'm using and it's working great.
Sounds like everyone else covered the how to's... but before you try anything else you might want to wait for DCD's new kitchen which will work with the official radio released for Sprint today.
Roaming Order
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the order of carriers my phone tries to roam to?
I have Alltel and apparently Sprint is at the top of there list. I live in an area where Sprint service sucks and there is no EVDO, but the Sprint tower is just close enough to be seen so I never get onto the Verizon Towers. I would like to set my Roaming order to be Verizon first then Sprint etc...
Thanks,

Hi All,
I've got an htc 6800 from bell. upgraded the bootloader to 2.47, radio to 3.42.50 , and installed DCD's 3.2.5
everything went smooth. installed the Bell Carrier cab to get the data settings on the phone.
i've run into 2 problems:
-When trying to use data over the cell network it shows it cannot connect.
-When trying to make a phone call it gets a busy signal immediately
any ideas at all? i've installed the official htc/bell rom and i get the exact same behaviour
thanks

nope. i have no idea about that.. how would that sequence work?
with a cdma phone like this, is there any way to know the phone number which should be attached to the phone? is there a way to program the phone number back into the phone ?

That's in the EPST settings. Look at ##778 or ##778#. That should bring up EPST settings. If you "View" it has the number in the phone set there. If you "Edit" I believe you can change it.
thanks for the replies.. basically got me to figure out what was missing.
for bell it seemed to be ##111111# and it sent it into the settings where you put phone number and stuff.. works perfect now
thanks!

Hello,
I am new to posting here, however I have been reading throughout the forums since I got my HTC PPC6800 in September through US Cellular. I have been through a few different custom roms and have never had any trouble. Then, yesterday after flashing to a winmo 6.5 rom, I lost the ability to connect to EVDO and I am stuck on 1x all the time. I switched back to Titan Reloaded v1.3.4 and still have the same issues. I also had changed my banner yesterday from CellSouth to US Cellular through QPST and I have since reloaded the file from when I read it with QPST before making changes.
Does anyone know of any issues that could cause this?
Thanks
Dave
Hey this might get you on the right track.
Did you use Debug(fieldtrial) (dialer code ##33284 call button) mode and look in the HDR tab and make sure it says you are authenticated? If not then you have to Re-Authenticate. That is done is PST (##778 call button). Follow my Cricket PST settings thread, (only the Part about re-authenticating) and use your US cellular values. Let me know if I have helped.
Just whatever you do, do not Use CRICKET settings for the Carrier you are using which is US CELLULAR
Have you checked your EPST settings to make sure they are correct? You might try running the uscc carrier cab. EVDO will not connect unless the EPST Security/MIP Profile settings are correct.
These were the settings I had to change for my phone to connect to EVDO: http://sites.google.com/site/victorbush/htc-6800-1/epst-data-settings
Its under EPST, goto Security, under HDR Username and password it needs to be as follow.
Find your ESN (In hex first)
HDR Username should be ESN(IN HEX)@uscc.net
HDR Password should be your ESN(IN HEX)
i.e.
ESN = 3C123456
HDR Username [email protected]
HDR Password 3C123456
(The ESN must be in CAPS)
PPP Username and password are based on phone #
i.e.
phone# = 1234567890
PPP Username = [email protected]
PPP Password = 1234567890
This bit me and several other people when USCC first launched EVDO
Also, mine has been changed from just flashing the rom, so you may need to fix this more than once.
Just an FYI.

THANKS
This method worked great (changing settings in EPST.) I thank you all for all the help!!!!
Thanks SOOOOOO MUCH!!! Without EVDO my phone is useless!\

wow thanks for all the responses. in actually using your rom ryan. i love it but i often wondered what that debug program was for....lol im gonna try that asap. i thought just flashing it with your rom would "magically" work. everything else has. what is the us cellular stuff ur talkinh about? do the rest of those comments that all the other great people who responded carry any weight with ur rom? is it even a rom specific issue? my phone does recognize the evdo signal but will not function untill it drops back to 1x just to clarify my issue. sorry it took so long to respond. i have been attempting to cook my own rom and im working on a 2d fix that is not a plugin. thanks everyone for the response. i appreciate all the help!

I am only responding to what is in BOLD above. That issue sounds like you need to Un-Authenticate and Re-Authenticate. If you are using Cricket it explains how to do that in my Cricket PST settings thread.
I currently do not have a US cellular version of my ROM. This thread was created by the Member "kwineon" only to find out why his EVDO was not working on his ROM for US cellular. We helped him fix his problem and then you come along asking questions that do not even apply to MY ROMs OR This Thread (with the exception of your EVDO issue)
If you are going to experiment do it at your own risk... I have cooked 4 carrier specific rom's (Cricket, Sprint, Verizon, Metro PCS) thats it buddy..
