epst wont open **solved** - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

I went ahead and flashed my phone to dcd 3.1.6 but now epst will not open, is there any possiblity of me unscrewing this up without sending the phone back to the factory (my carrier does not have the ability to flash me back to orignal rom)? I tryed reflashing twice with diffrent options selected in the kitchen but, still nothing .

i will attempt to help you... this may or may not be the issue, but worth a shot
when you try to access the epst, i assume you are dialling ##778 ?
if you are using the dialer, it may try to autocomplete it and add a pound to the end. (##778# which will not work)
so... if you push up on the directional pad after tying in ##778 it will take focus off of the autocomplete and when you push send it should work.
this worked for me anyways when i had this issue.. i found this from a posting i think by serf from march.
let us know the results

If he's on Sprint, he wants to use ##778#.
Honestly my guess is that he didn't install the carrier cab or he has installed a third party dialer that has screwed his phone codes.

I had this exact issue...
It would start to open, then crash... even when going directly to epst in the windows dir.. it would immediately close.
Was just about to post about it, then I realized I had not installed the carrier cab. (I have Verizon). The Carrier Cab fixed it.

---

ok, to be specific with my issue (with verizon) was with the dialer packaged with dcd's rom, it was adding that extra an extra # sign, because for what ever reason i tried ##778# before i typed ##778, thus it always tried to autocomplete it when i pushed send.
all's well that ends well

---

i have dcd 3.2.0 and installed the cricket cab (it was the closest to my real carrier, xml file wise) still no epst any other suggestions?

---

well, google for a list of codes for your specific carrier. im sure they will list an epst code or at least you can try to adjust their format to the 778 number..

---

Did you try to open EPST manually by running \Windows\EPST.exe?
If that doesn't work, copy \Windows\EPST.lnk to your computer, open notepad, and drag it into notepad. Let me know what it says.

---

Try running the shortcut (lnk) or the executable file in the Windows directory for EPST.
..occassionally it takes a couple of attempts to get the util running.

Key, he's using the cricket carrier cab because he said that's what most "resembles" his carrier. EPST.lnk for cricket most likely won't work for his carrier, that's why I'm trying to get him to post the contents of the cricket EPST.lnk (I'm too lazy to go look).

---

bwash, epst does come up for a split second, then drops out, I've tryed both ways, ##778 and going into the wondows file.
24#"\Windows\EPST.exe" ##778

---

What model of the Titan are you using?

---

under device info the model number is TITA100, Pioneer lists it as HTC PPC 6800.

---

Try editing EPST.lnk to ##778# at the end instead of ##778. Then save it and open it. See if that works.

---

unfortunately, it still blinks.... any other suggestions?
edit, I did some looking on the xml file for the cricket cab, it dosn't look like it makes an epst.epst file like all the other carriers, I flashed with alltel and now epst works, however, the code is not all zeros or my msl unlock code.

---

Ok, so I went forum searching and after a million try, I finally found a post that tell you that when you put your hex esn into getspc it has to be in caps. I did flash sprints official ROM and changed all of the settings, I can get on evdo, and send and recive txt messages.

1. Did you use the kitchen or the pre-cooked exe?
2. I'm not sure what USCC uses for ## codes, but have you tried ##778# without pressing send on the dialer?
3. Have you tried reinstalling the USCC carrier cab? (It will tell you the old one can't be uninstalled, it's ok, just continue with the install.)

The cricket cab doesn't work properly. Tried it on several phones and EPST would load and then disappear. Using the Alltel cab fixes the problem.

I use Sprint, and same problem here on DCD3.2.3!
If I dial ##778 or manually launch epst from windows it just flashes and disappears. What to do?
