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
Downgraded back to VZW stock rom...lost voice and data connection.
Voice was easy to get back - got a new a-key
But losing data was a little strange - called tech support, tried a bunch of different things. Issue was a "wrong username and password". Strange thing was that even after entering the correct username and password, it wasnt saving it
So tech put in a support ticket regarding dmu reset and maybe some other stuff....have to wait 24-72 hours
I'm wondering if I should just exchange the phone (I still have 3 weeks left in the return/exchange period)
Is this a common issue when going back to a stock rom? I read in the wiki about connection problems but those arent really what I'm experiencing.
And yes, I took note of my EPST settings - they never got erased
One interesting thing I noticed by downgrading is that the warranty date code gets reset to the date you downgrade...
What's your PRI version in Device Information?

Hmm...weird you'd need a DMU reset then...
I even tried deleting the data connection setting that is automatically generated and creating a new one. The new one was able to store my username and password, yet I still got the incorrect username/password message when connecting.
It seems there is definitely a problem on their end, though I dont know why the data account that is created on my phone when I program it is not storing any username or password.
I'm just going to chock it up to a problem on their end that I hope they can resolve soon.
Have you tried having them completely remove data features from your account, then add them again? This sometimes addresses data connection issues.
Though I'm still not sure a DMU reset is necessary in your case, we can check just to be sure. Go into EPST (make sure you choose Edit, not View), and navigate to M.IP Default Profile. Take a look at the AAA Shared Secret, and HA Shared Secret fields. Are they blank or do you have encrypted values?
Next, navigate to Security (still in EPST), and take a look at the HDR AN AUTH Password and PPP PASSWORD fields. Are they blank or do you have encrypted values?
Tech support removed my data plan and re-instated it with no resolution.
As far as those settings you asked me to check:
AAA Shared Secret and HA Shared Secret fields are both blank
HDR AN AUTH Password and PPP PASSWORD fields are both blank
Is this a really bad thing? Can I fix it myself or will a DMU reset resolve these?
BTW, I really appreciate your help on this. Heading to Boston next week for a convention for a few days and really need data in case some of the presentations are not stimulating enough for me
Did you recently attempt to flash a Sprint update? Maybe for a radio? Did you run any PPST programs? If not, I have no idea how your DMU keys were erased, but yes, if they're blank...the only way to fix it is with a DMU reset. Once Verizon issues the reset your data will be good to go for your convention.
Where's the convention?

No sprint update....flashed back to everything Verizon - ROM and radio. Have no idea what PPST programs are so I dont think I ran any
From doing some more reading, it appears that a DMU reset is should only take a few minutes...dont know why I was told 1-3 days. I'm going to call again now and see if I can talk to someone who knows what to do.
Can I also do this by activating an old phone and then re-activating my 6800?
Convention is mainly in the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, though some stuff is taking place in some of the surrounding hotels.
Yeah I'd call back. A tech who knows what they're doing can do it in about 30 minutes usually.
You staying at the Seaport?

No - they were all booked up. Got a place at the Hyatt
So I just got off the phone with tech - they suggested just getting another phone as they think its a problem with the phone itself
I'm going to try activating my old phone and then reactivating the 6800 again
Lol some of them really are just plain morons I swear. The DMU reset will definitely fix your problem, it's just the matter of finding someone who's competent.
Let me know how the reactivating goes.

I know - I was joking with the level 2 technician about how its a crap shoot who you get on the phone, only because he wanted to try some other things that the last person didnt try. Also, the last person never submitted a trouble ticket like she said she would so it was a good thing I called, otherwise I'd be waiting a very long time.
Now just when I thought I found someone who knew what they were doing, he goes on to tell me that a DMU reset wouldnt fix the problem I was having. I wasnt going to argue with him, though I wanted to provide him some sites like this one for him to learn from but what are you going to do. I figure I would try the de-activate/re-activate thing first....
It worked! At first those EPST fields were still blank after programming with option 1 - I then tried option 2 and it filled those fields up with garbage
So now I'm back in business after following recommendations you guys made and not listening to the people that should know what to do
Thanx GC again for all your help!!!
BTW - the username/password in the connection settings is still blank but I can connect to the internet. Dont know if that matters or not

Hmmm deactivating/reactivating seemed to have reset your DMU keys. Did you activate an old non-smartphone....or was it a smartphone?
Either way, glad to hear you're back in business. The "garbage" is your encrypted DMU values set by your DMU public key. They authenticate you to the data network.
The username/password in connection settings can be blank, it's fine. Once you authenticate once, your DMU values are actually communicating your username/password. I bet if you look in EPST again, under Security, your HDR AN AUTH Password field is now encrypted too.

Yep
The old phone I activated was a LG VX8600 (regular phone). In doing so I had to remove the data plan. Then when I went back to activate the XV6800 I added it again
I wish technicians would all be on the same page and each one would know the same thing. I even asked the guy if deactivating and reactivate would solve it (just to test their knowledge) and he gave me some bull on how it wouldnt since the problem is likely a hardware failure on my phone
I'm also waiting on a DMU reset. I have PRI 2.01_011 with a Alltel 6800 on VZW. I was getting Error Code 11 PPP Connection Error. and username password wrong. Already set the security to [email protected] and password to vzw and cleared out the two keys in M.IO profile in EPST.
Waiting for data is painfull.

if you have an old phone laying around, dont bother waiting for them.
Just log into your vzw online account, activate the old phone on your number wait a little bit and then activate your 6800 again on that same number
DMU will be reset
Sorry could you define a little bit? Also didn't have to do and *228 to the 6800 once you reactivated it correct?

log into your vzw account online (if you dont have one, create one). Under the "My Services" tab, click on "My Phone". Select the number for your phone (only if you have more than one line on your account - otherwise it should listed there right off the bat) and then select the link that says "Activate Phone"
This will allow you to deactivate your 6800 while you activate the line to another phone you have. Obviously this only works if you have another phone that works on verizon's network.
If you do have another phone you can use, just follow the instructions after clicking the "Activate Phone" link.
It will automatically deactivate your 6800 and activate the other phone. In doing so, you may have to remove the data plan if you had it for the 6800 if the other phone you are activating cant use it. Dont worry about it since we'll put it back later.
Once your extra phone is activated on your line, wait 5-10 minutes and do *228 to program your phone (I was able to do it right away). Test out the newly activated phone to make sure it works correctly as well as making sure the 6800 does not work anymore
Once you've confirmed all that, repeat the entire process, this time activating your 6800 again. You'll be given the option to add a data plan - do so if you choose.
Once you get it activated, do the *228 to program it.
I wasnt able to get everything working again until I did *228 #2 option - the #1 option didnt do anything for me.
I should mention that I did a hard reboot and pretty much started from scratch - in doing so, the deactivation/reactivation worked flawlessly.
Also, I had a vzw phone, not an alltel one, so I cant guarantee that this method will work.
GC or another experienced member may be able to give more insight into this
Thanks for all that info. Just wonder how long you waited in between the ESN switch. I can't wait till VZW release that update so I can flash the VZW stock rom and PRI. Hopefully I won't have to do this anymore.

When I try to connect to the Data Network, I get PPP Connection Error; Error Code: 11. I have my [email protected] and vzw as the password, and #777 as the number. Any ideas how to fix this?

You need to call support.. Tell them you hard reset your device and you need a DMU reset. (they zero out your ESN, removing all your services and then add them back)
You can also do this online if you have another device you can switch activation to and then switch back....
you may get a tech who is gonna have you try all different kinds of things.. enter this user / pass.. no try this one... but keep on them. Tell them you do this all the time cause you are a software developer or something and you have to test on clean fresh device, and when you hard reset you often need a DMU reset... they will do it.

Your DMU.key is corrupt. You can do 1 of 2 things.
1) Call VZW... Tell them you loaded the new MR1 update and currently have no data. Your research leads you to the fact that the DMU key needs resetting and only tier 2 support and above can do this. While they are saying they are resetting it... put the phone in flight mode. They don't tell you this. Then put it back when they say it's good.
2) logon to verizon's website and activate an old DATA phone. wait 10 minutes. Then re-activate your titan.
Putting the phone in flight mode both times cancels any possible hung data sessions.

Have you ever had a technician reset your DMU? This has been discussed before and seems unlikely. They always seem to start a trouble ticket and send it to some other network department. If you got a technician to do it I'd be interested in knowing that since in my and other's experiences, the technicians generally dont know how/cant do it.
Your best bet is to do the "reactive old phone" method

yes. I had one do it earlier. Just as I explained. Told the CSR exactly what I needed... they hooked me up with Tier 2... and the person actually reset it while I was on the phone. I had the same exact problem / error.

At least 6 times in the last 12 months (with Tech support)... but one of my friends is a tech and I just shoot him an IM If he's working.. otherwise I call and deal with tech support.
I hear you though... I've found that both an Akey and DMU reset are sometimes painfull.. Trying to talk a tech into doing it can be rough. Thats why I start off telling them I'm a software developer and I need to do this all the time.. bla bla bla (Plus they flag it in your file.. so they can see that Ive had it done often, if they read that part). Some of them figure I know what i'm talking about and jump right to it, and others will make me dance like a monkey going through each step of thier troubleshooting guide.
The important thing is to be nice.. if they want you to take out your battery, take it out.. If they want you to try another username... try it.. eventually (because there is no other fix.. on thier end) they will have to do the DMU reset...
Oh... And when they act like it was thier idea... just go with it..
I tried the activate old phone method with no luck. I may not have waited the full 10 min (wasn't sure if that was important), but I did *228 with the old phone (Razr) and could make calls with it. I then switched back to the 6800 and did *228 opt 1 but still get the PPP error. I noticed in EPST under the Security tab that my PPP password and HDR AN AUTH password are all symbols. Do I need to change these to "vzw"?

Hrm.. I should have mentioned this before.... When you activated your Razr, you should have been prompted that it will remove the data plan... Did you add it back to your plan online?
Also, re-run the VZW carrier cab... it "Should" fix any username / password issues you might have created while messing with them...
The ultimate problem is still the Data services... but if you messed up the user / pass you wont know if you fix it.
Got it working after re-running the carrier cab. Thanks.
How can I change my mms settings. when I open messages and the click settings then click connection settings it shows the settings but will not let me edit them can anyone help with this thank you
I belive there is a way to edit these settings via cdma workshop but i dont know too much about that
I cant get the phone to connect to the work shop
Does anybody know if they have rooted this phone yet I read the forum about it it does seem like they have yet
Root is a work in progress.
What are you messing with your settings for? if your having issues just run *288 and let it do it. if that doesnt work use the RUU Update, and then reprogram your phone and use *288
I cant I have the Eris running on Cricket I have the phone, internet, text and the market running great but would like to have mms
How did you get it running on cricket? Didnt you have to flash stuff for that work, if so please post me links asap. It will inevideably lead to root.

uhhh, yoo hooo! guys, the htc based android phones are dirt simple to program for use on another network..
I've had my eris running full on alltel over two months now with the unl. data plan. Never looses 3G, alltels 3G coverage is wicked sweet.
Getting Voice & SMS working:
Get current .PRL file for your network(alltel, sprint, vzw, cricket, etc..), google for it. Mount your phone thru USB, drag the PRL to the root of the SD card.
Unmount
Dial##PRL
Enter SPC code
Select PRL from SD
Restart Phone
Activate phone with your carrier, lie about what phone it is, i told alltel i'm a Samsung Delve, a phone they have.
They'll tell you to *228 it, this will work perfectly after you've programmed the PRL described above.
Hang up with them.
Getting data to work:
Dial ##PST send.
Enter SPC code
Go to security...
Google for those settings for your carrier and enter all that is asked for in that menu screen.
Do nothing else, restart the phone.
Now, setting up MMS on the Eris is a pain, I still can't get it.
When going to Messages, Settings, Connection settings, ... i am not allowed to edit those settings, they're stuck at vzw values.
IF .. and ONLY if I install the "quick settings" app in the market, disable mobile network, THEN go to messages, connection settings, .. i can now edit those values and change them to alltel's mms addresses... go home, them go back into messages, connection settings, all is saved, good. If I go and re-enable mobile network, ... the mms connection settings switch back to vzw... GAHH!!!

It's probably just allowing you to input settings but unable to save them due to lack of permissions. Looks like MMS is screwed until root gets here :\
how do you get web working on crickets network ive change the settings from the security but still no luck.
Bad news, the LTE functionality test hack used to edit apns on S9 and older phones doesn't work anymore. But good news is, if you know your MSL (all 0's for unlocked), you can create new APNs. Just dial ##3282#, put in your MSL, click APN Settings, and create a new APN with the same settings as APN2 LTE ... internet, but add dun at end of APN type.
You cannot modify the APN once you save it, but if you make a mistake, go to general management, reset, reset network settings to remove the APN you added and fix any problems.
Enjoy
EDIT: Updating profile deletes the APN so you should get used to creating new APNs frequently.

Does this back count toward data usage?

I do not believe so but I have not been able to verify yet. I can verify that it does switch APN because mobile data cuts off for a min when you switch to the one you made, and a similar procedure on the S9 did not count on my tethering data. I get 50gb and it didn't count at all, just my normal data. I will test with this new one though.
How can i get my sprint MSL ? Can I even get it from them if I am leasing the phone?

Just call andtell them you want it if they ask for what tell them you're a developer
Add button is greyed out... I am not unlocked, I used 6, 0's but it let me hit Ok
Hope to find better solutions.
Thanks this worked for me hopefully it sticks without profile getting updated.
How did you edit this my phone will not allow me to edit this its grayed out. I try to add a d it dose nothing
works. :good:
how to get "enhanced LTE" working? so LTE stay connected while on voice call?
It seems that after the new update, I can not change it to my new added apn. Anyone could help?
I just called Sprint and they have me all 0's as my MSL. So means I'm unlocked and I didn't even know. Unless they lied. I'm about to find out when I try this hack.
Update: boo add option is grayed out. I didn't take this newest update and I thought that was the update that prevented adding APN.
If I reset will it reset to the original software version I had when I initially bought phone or the last update?

It will reset to your current update. You could flash older though, as long as the bootloader's haven't changed, which I believe hasn't but could be wrong.

Thanks. I'm going to look for the version I had when I bought my phone 3/12/19.
I think that Hotpot is included with my Sprint plan. Yip I think it's 50gb hotspot.
Disregard.
Following along... MSL 0's, cant "add" anything... I rarely use the hotspot, but at times I *need* it.
Any idea if anyone has broken this yet? I’m in the same boat where even with my MSL the edit functions are greed out.
is this still working?

I'm on the most recent update, Got it only a few days ago. I purchased the phone outright from Bestbuy and my MSL seems to be all zeros. I was able to successfully enable wifi hotspot. This was one of the main reason I rooted my phones in the past. I know that this will be patched out eventually but it's awesome at the moment though.

would love to know if sprint folks still have the workaround for the wifi hotspot. I'm sitting on an unlocked S10 that I haven't shoved my SIM card in yet because I absolutely need the hotspot sometimes...
