I've tried multiple times in different manners and cannot seem to get this command to work. At first I thought it might just be the DCD ROM I'm running but I even tried after flashing back the OEM. Actually flashed back just to see. So anyway, anyone else got any good ideas?
Now in my venture with ROM's yesterday and the new SPL I did end up messing my radio settings up. I figured if I just done *228 I could recover everything. Even though it said programming complete when I went to place a test call it said it couldn't authorize and told me to call *8899. I told the person who answered that I had to hard reset and now it wouldn't authorize. Then he asked me to *228 and I told him I already have with no results. He said do it again because he just reset something.
So once again I'm scratching my friggin head bacause of all of this. I can't get the commands to work so I can retrieve the A-Key and other info. Now I wonder if you can even get to that with Verizon in my area (Charlotte NC).
Anyone able to make sense of all of this and possibly lead me in the right direction?
try ##778
and then go to EDIT
the password you'll need is 000000 (six zero's)

Use file explorer to browse to the windows folder on your phone. In there you will find an application called EPST. Open that up.

Finally Thaaaaaaannnnnnnnkkkkkkkkk you
Just followed your instructions, and run EPST ... is it normal that I don't have any A-KEY data
I'm on TELUS if that helps.
EPST is not working for me either. I got EPST Lab to fire up but nothing else.

So do I just not have an A-Key and ignore having to write this down prior to the flash?

I actually am on Verizon in Chicago and do not have an A-Key....should I worry or does it only matter by location?
I have Verizon in San Diego. I managed to brick the phone. VZN support figured out that I'd somehow erased the A-key and gave me a new one. I noticed after entering it and going back to look at it that it couldn't be viewed (kind of like a password). On other occasions I've managed to get myself dropped from the local switch (there words - not sure what it actually means) and have my ESN erased from their system.
I've found that turning off the phone radio (put it in flight mode) before experimenting with it keeps it from mucking up the network and eliminates those late-night calls to tech support.

Moonlight,
Are you saying that by going into flight mode before flashing helps prevent losing your A-Key?

I am verizon in chicago and i didn't have an A-Key either. It didn't matter, i ended up having to call verizon anyway and i was talking to tech support for a good hour or two and they kept remotely trying to re-authenticate my phone... on the third try it worked.
They even gave me a new A-Key and the damn A-Key didn't even work... the operator said that was the first time she has ever seen an A-Key not work.
... anyway it is all working great after tech support helped me re-activate everything.
I cannot get my new phone to get a signal after the following:
1. 2.4 unlocker (Hard-spl-mfg.exe)
2. Sprint Rom (RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship.exe)
3. DCD Rom (DCD_3.0.1_Verizon.exe)
I believe I followed all of the instructions and upgraded my XV6800 from stock to DCD 3.01. When I finally get booted up I can never get a signal acquired. I can dial *22802 and let it connect and then I get a signal, but even then I get an error about the #777 internet access, so something is wrong. I new A-Keys and made sure all of my info was written down and correct.
Is there a way to start over from stock? Can I relock and put the stock Verizon on and try again?
Help!
did you.....
When you ran in the Sprint ROM did you let the customization run ? If so then there is the problem, as it overwrites verizon parms with the sprint. That can be fixed by getting the VZW PRL and running it in with the EPST, then set your home SID/NID also in EPST, then you should have VZW signal and not roaming, then a *228 should reprovision the rest. If you did not write down your info before you flashed then you missed a step.
I was under the assumption that the Sprint customizations don't run until I tap the welcome screen which I did not. I immediately installed DCD 3.01. I'm returning it to stock to see if I can get a signal then starting over.
Where can I get the VZW PRL? I will search now.
ok then they did not run
well I guess they did not run but maybe your PRL and provisioning data got wiped, MSID, MID, SID/NID, you know that stuff. There are stock VZW ROM images out there but my methode would fix it safer and easier as I am sure that the signal issue is a missing or wrong PRL. Go into EPST (##778) and select 'view' and then look at PRL which should show 50989 or somthing close as that is the current VZW PRL, a different number would be someone elses overwritten on yours, blank is no PRL which is also badd. then look at SID/NID where the first set should be populated. If you fix just these 2 things then you should get back on VZW signal and be able to provision it. Going with a full restore is like crushing and reconstituting your car when it only needs a wash and the ash trays emptied. If you do still want to though, the stock images do exist here.
I relocked and put the Verizon stock back on and went through the setup procedures and the phone works great back at stock.
I started the update over.
Installed the Unlocker.
Installed Sprint ROM. No customizations allowed.
Installed DCD 3.01
Signal does not acquire but will after 15 minutes or so and all is fine. As soon as I soft-reset.. no signal. The PRL is the 50989 the latest. All of my MSID and other numbers match.
Maybe it's the DCD 3.01. I don't know where to find 3.0.0.
I'll keep searching. Thanks madman34 for your help!!!!
I've noticed that after waiting for the signal 15 minutes, everything works wonderfully. I've tried changing the MIP MODE over and over but that hasn't worked.
Anyone with DCD 3.01 and the new Sprint ROM Radio able to get a signal without waiting 15 minutes?
HELP!
Yep, I get signal within 3 seconds.... Not sure what the issue is with your phone....? I am currently a Verizon user....
I am a Verizon user with DCD's 3.0.1 and upon soft reset get a signal within 2-3 seconds.
Hi guys, just to let you know I'm in the same boat at the OP with a Verizon phone and No2Chem's 5055. I'll start a new thread with a more descriptive title and see if we can get some additional help.

Did you try the *22802 and hanging up? Geckotek mentioned that as a fix to the problem.
I also found that the customizations tried to run after installing DCD 3.0.1, did you let those run?

What city do you have service in?
I did try the *28802 and it didn't fix it for the N2C rom. Man, I'm getting depressed over this.... I'm in middle Tennessee (Cookeville), great cell coverage for both Sprint and Verizon.

I've gone back to stock so that's what it says now. During my 1st call to tech support they had me go over many of the EPST settings and I think that's what it said but I was so perturbed I don't recall. I'll try again (was thinking of trying DCD's most recent as he has carrier specific ROM's) and if I loose the radio, I'll check again. Thanks for the input....
Is the fundamental issue here that your installing a SPRINT rom on a VERIZON VX6800?
Why not try installing a VERIZON rom?

Spreeway, there is no such creature that enables RevA and GPS. These are enable by using the new sprint ROM (to upgrade the radio) and then a custom rom (DCD!) for verizon.
Quick update. Resolved. It was a prl issue, rolled back to an older prl and all is well. I guess I'll have to wait for an official rom from VZW to get the latest prl but all is working now.... How odd.
I am using 50989 with 3.0.1. Now that you're back to an older prl, dial *228 NOT *22802 and then press 2 at the prompt. Update the prl OTA and see if it works this time.
Tried and failed... Yesterday, once I figured out about the older PRL, I upgraded and called for a new A key. Tech support updated the A key on their side and he had me run *228 option one and when it rebooted I had no signal. I checked the PRL and it was 51020! They must have just released a new one... Rolled back with the tech on the line, didn't need a new A key and all is well since.
I still can't figure out why any of the Nationwide PRL's drop my signal but as my plan has coast to coast no roaming, I think if I get outside of my home zone it should still pick up towers (I hope but I dont travel much).
Also, I can't figure out why I can't change the roaming options in the phone options. It currently has no check infront of 'Sprint only' or 'roam only' and if I check either I loose the cell radio. Very odd!
I decided to create a new thread because I don't think many people read the GPS sticky.
FOR SPRINT USERS:
1. Update to latest rom/radio. (Sprint carrier cab still REQUIRED)
2. Install signed_080516_7500_SPCS_2.04.sa.cab
3. Navigate to \Windows and run PPST.exe. Proceed with the update and let the phone reset.
4. To check if it was successful, go to Settings and under Device Information make sure PRI version is 2.04_003.
You should all get GPS locks within seconds with any software.
THIS IS FOR SPRINT ONLY. DO NOT RUN THIS UPDATE ON ANY OTHER CARRIER OR IT WILL SCREW IT UP.
I am not responsible for anything you do to your device.
Very cool going to try this soon.
wasn't there a reason why we weren't supposed to have a PRI above 1.x? otherwise i'm trying it now, i reflashed to have a clean start.
ill post results in a moment.
it did nothing, just downgraded my PRL to 05xxx, which ended up making me go into digital roaming.
Are you sure you aren't missing something else?

GPS is awesome now
Friendly Advisor Notice
People who haven't done this yet, should do so NOW. i get a lock on an average of 15 seconds from cold start, yes... COLD START!
And i get a lock on 9 Satellites INSIDE MY HOUSE. I can only imagine how much faster it would be outside! Cant wait for my 4GB MicroSD Card, so i can load up that TomTom software!
Before, i would get locks in around 2-4 minutes, and i would only lock to as many as 3-4 satellites.
NEW Also this well make your PRL version go to 60612, while this may be recommended, it didn't really help me much in my area, it wouldn't give me optimum EVDO coverage at all.
So be sure to check which PRL works for you, in my case 60711 was a great help.
http://corolada.com/prl/ Here is the site with the PRL's.
To update your PRL, dial ##775#. Enter your MSL Code... then update your PRL by browsing the downloaded PRL File, provided by the site i gave you. Goodluck!
Haha I'm glad you're happy since updating. I don't understand why Sprint users who complain about slow GPS and have read this post haven't done it yet.
Thx gc14... gps now works perfect. What dif between 60612 and 60711 prl?

Always go with the latest available PRL as it updates your roaming capabilities. The only reason this update installs the older PRL is because at the time this PRI update was made available, 60612 was the latest PRL. I'm going to update the first post and include the latest PRL.
I was just reading on ppcgeeks bout PRL's
60612 - latest evdo phone prl
60711 - latest data card prl
Any truth to this?

Yes and no. Data cards get updated to 60711, but it is also compatible with phones.

would i be able to use this on my wife's Touch?
i am on cricket, i have an alltel 6800 though, so I am not using either, would it be bad to use this or even beneficial? I can go back and load the cricket PRL
i just want to check back in and say that this works really well. my mogul gets a fix in no time. i dont know why this thread isn't 10 pages long with all the trouble we've had with GPS in the past. what does this do specificly that makes my mogul get 6 satellites WHILE INSIDE. is it new drivers, reg tweeks, something else? i'd love to know. i'd also would love to know if this would work on my wife's sprint touch. i might just test it out on her phone anyway if i don't get an answer here. thanks again for this fix.
here is a bump for this thread!
this worked like a charm on my mogul....i now can see lots more sats than before...i'm currently running no2chem's 3.49 kitchen
this should be stickied for the sprint users

No, its your MSL code. The one you get from running MSL Reader if you have root. Just put that code in after ##72786# prompts you for it.

yea stupid me realized after I posted that. Just had to root to get it. Well it seemed to work for a minute. Got service and then it disconnected.
Service State: Out of Service.
If you didn't get sprint insurance does the warranty cover things like this?
For future reference the free version of CDMA workshop will give you msl without root and if you call sprint tech support and ask for it they have no reason to not give it to you. You should take it to sprint and see if they will swap it out.

So got it swapped for a new evo 4g lte. But the other evo would work only in 4G areas. Data would work but neither voice or texting would work.
Strange. Maybe this phone handles the "handoff" better I hope.
Im having trouble with my lg g3. It was on the sprint network before and my data worked fine, even after a factory reset.. But i had to do a full flash of the stock rom and now im getting no data whatsoever. Usually when the phone booted up it would say sprint. Now it just says lg and boots up. I can still make calls and text. Ive tried a bunch of different apns and still no luck. Ive talked with my current provider and he said contact the manufacturer. Now the manufacturer said go to my provider and send it through for service.
If theres a fix for this i would love to know instead of sending my phone away..
Lg g3 ls990.
I had the same problem just do this and you'll be good. Did you make sure that its not on global, did you update prl and everything? Go into your phone app and type this: ##update# this updates prl and everything then reboots the phone if that does not work then just do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/help/fix-missing-wifi-calling-zv4-t2842102

When i try to update the prl or profile i just get an error, and when i do the ##update# alls that comes up is hands free activation, then it says network error. i do not have any of the sprint apps that i had on the phone before. and i used the stock sprint firmware so i dont understand what could of went wrong.
also i have done the ##rtn# reset and still nothing seems to work. im starting to wonder if this is just out of my reach..
Try to flash tool back maybe something went wrong along the way
