mogul to metro .. issues - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

hi, sorry for the noobness but ive never had to deal with cdma...
im trying to get metro to flash my mogul .. we spent 2 hours literally at the store ... an error message popped up on their screen at 99.9 percent .. it failed... i have googled my butt off for an hour and lokked everywhere I could think of but im not findind anything to help me ... trust me i can google lol. so im thinking that its because i flashed an unnoficial metro rom on it and put a new prl ... but not sure if the prl is the correct one? or if either of those are even the problem ... so i was wondering if anyone had this problem and or a solution and if anyone had a download link an official sprint rom because when i try to download from htc site i click download and nothing happens i think something is wrong with this computer soo pls dont blast me cus ive spent too much time and my brain is fried
rom- RM Metro PCS 2.0 (the heavy one with
radio- 3.35.04
PRL- 02001 (it was the last one on the list...damn thing doesnt show dates)
so any help plss would be greatly appreciated

look around for someone to add your ESN to the inventory, you already have the actual flash done, you're only lacking that.

aahh.. i was trying that, but all the local stores say that they cant just add an esn without the device being flashed by metro themselves .. that there is literally no way..

To be honest, I've had 3 phones flashed over to Metro...2 Moguls and an Apache (6700). Before I had any of those flashed, I had set them up with custom ROMs and PRL files ahead of time and still did not have any issues on having them flashed by Metro. The 6700 gave us an issue, but all the guy had to do at the store was install an update for IE and reboot...after that it was smooth sailing. Keep in mind that their Houdini software is a service they have to log in through their browser.
Personally I heard that if you can program all the PST settings yourself and get the proper PRL file, all you need to do is have the ESN registered with Metro and you're done. Only problem is finding a dealer that is willing to add the ESN to their inventory without flashing the phone. Your best bet is to find an authorized Metro store instead of an actual Metro company store, they're a little more willing to be flexible when it comes to things like this.

howard forums has a list of agents willing to add ESNs, I always use them to add an ESN.

thank you both, soo yeah thats def the issue they act like they really cant .. having no way to do it.. your sure they can add an esn without having to flash it themselves ? because the guy that was helping me was really cool stayed waay after the store closed to help me and even said hes done this with the same phone and has even flashd custom roms b4 .. but he was one of the ones who said houdini wont let them add it unless the system flashes it itself.. but maybe if i point out there seems to be no other way cus theres some technical problem here with their system... and maybe the update would help... is it possible to give them an esn over the phone ? then i could try someone who might do it .. if they can..

im about to search howard forums but if someone knows a good link you could throw it at me ok lol it was like the first one in the metro forums lol and thats why people get flamed haha

man at this point i really just want a stock sprint rom and try to metro flash again b/c the only close people are in miami and tampa ... im mid florida... i dont trust sending some guy money over paypal either and hoping my **** gets registered... so does anyone know of a thread with a link to an official sprint rom download that isnt htc america .. because for some reason when i try to dl from there i click download and it just brings me to another screen and nothing happens
#########
*edit*
i found a stock rom digging through the wiki (duuh) hopefuly metro can flash now

actually it worked prefectly for me, you're welcome to give it another try but it's your choice but I will admit I'd love to have someone in the DFW area.

actually i finally found the sprint rom and got it flashed so my titan/mogul is up and running i just have to do all my personalizations now s2u2 s2p and such

Off topic a little but,
Thought Metro was only in Florida. Are they national? If so are they G3?

theyr getting out there... theres quite a few states
but anyway... now im trying to set up wap and mms and the old unlock code does not work do i need a new one for metro or something? i used that one keygen put in my esn it gives me a number i try it it fails .. i am always the one with problem after problem lol

If it a Verizon and(I think) Altell phone it is 000000. If not verizon and/or alltel try baf mslgrabber.

its a sprint mogul.. before metro successfully flashed it getspc was working fine now.. it doesnt .. is there really no cab out there to set all this stuff automatically ? i thought that was the whole idea of a carrier specific rom

I would bet the problem is the limited exposure Metro has.

nope, plenty of people have it on metro with everything working .. just nothing ever works out the way its supposed to for me

I am guessing that metro changed the code for some reason. Not for sure why. You can change the code with QPST. But I dont know if the old code is required to make the change.

could you get metro to reflash then use qpst to check.
if you did you could report and help others

why would i reflash? and that would cost me another 45 lol. i could try qpst .. i dont get it though i was reading some old posts and ryan mogul said his metro carrier roms dont need any editing just to put in usr name and pswrd in pie and ur good to go .. of course this doesnt work for me lol

Will Verizon be releasing an update?

I've searched and didn't find an answer on this so if it has been asked and answered I apologize.
Since Sprint and HTC have released a ROM update will Verizon be following suit?
My phone is a daily worker and I can't afford to spend the time with trial and error on DCD's ROM, although it is very tempting.
Thanks

I myself haven't seen any official confirmation or even hinting from VZW that they're releasing an upgrade. Sprint announced it what, back in October? I'd imagine if VZW was going to follow suit we would've heard something by now. I'm gonna check a few sites and see what I can find.
Was wondering the same thing earlier today.
I doubt it...
I asked a second level support tech that yesterday and he didn't know anything about it - but that is not a surprise to me...
Its fairly common knowledge in some circles that VZW is very secretive (or maybe they just dont let their ppl know) about this stuff.
I imagine an update is indeed in the works, but nobody you talk to at VZW will have any knowledge. Those familiar with VZW and updates also know that it will probably be some time after the other carriers have their updates out. Slow and steady must be their motto...
Why wait? Trial and error with DCD's rom? Load and go.
I'm with Sprint and can't even see myself ever running a stock ROM again.

We haven't, but there are a few little nagging issues that might be resolved by a stock ROM from Verizon w/ GPS and Rev A.
For me, anytime I run a *228, my phone goes into the 20 minute acquiring signal dance. I hate that beat.
After reading through 50+ pages in the regular ROM and the 4 pages on VZW I'm holding off because of some of the smaller problems people are having with wifi, MMS, bluetooth, etc.
I'm the kind of person that if there is a 1% chance of it happening it will happen to me and I can't afford to be without my phone.
Plus it is still a bit confusing with the radio stuff, loading 2.40 unlocker first, it gets a bit much for a dabbler like myself.
Maybe if there was a very simple cut & dried walk through of what you need to do to prepare/download/install then load I'd do it.
Heck, I didn't even know what the hell a 'kitchen' was in regards to a ROM when I first got the XV6800 and I've been a smartphone/pocket pc guy for a long time
It is very very easy to go back to the stock verizon rom and radio as well as the original bootloader if you have any of these problems....but as I've said in other threads....I've flashed 3 phones now with absolutely none of the problems you've mentioned.
In that case could you point me to the best walk through on doing it including what I need (bootloaders etc)? I've seen so many that make it seem like defusing an atomic bomb and then other that just say "run it & git er done' so I don't know which to follow.
Thanks so much

Search my posts. I made a good one step by step last night.
Man you have a ton of posts to search through I think I found the right one.
So you've got MMS working no problem? I use MMS all the time and don't want to loose it like some people have.
Your steps seem to involve already using a cooked ROM are the steps the same for a 'virgin' xv6800?

The only additional step for a virgin xv6800 is that you need to install Olipro 2.40 unlocker first. Be sure to turn off USB in ActiveSync when done and the phone will boot back into the OS. You can then run the Sprint update (DO NOT LET THE SPRINT CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN!) followed by the cooked DCD ROM.
Be sure to check off MMS when cooking the ROM. If you don't see it, DCD left it out and you might have to find the OEM from an older version (it was left out of 3.0.0) My old GF from when I was 14 found me on MS monday and used MMS to send me old pics yesterday....it works. ;D

I have a 'virgin' xv6800 enroute. It should arrive Thursday or Friday. My first task will be to see if I can get GPS working. I'm a veteran Kyocera 6035, then 7135, followed by a Treo 650 but reading about cooking the ROM, etc is truly virgin territory!
Can you post the link to the post you found? Thanks!
I know verizon isn't exactly known for giving it's users new featured readily but my guess on this is they WILL eventually offer an updated patch with this GPS and RevA so they can rent you VZNavigator on a monthly basis.
But expect them to disable normal satellite tracking and limit it to AGPS reception so your forced to use VZNav and not Google Maps!

Very easy? Would you point me in the right direction on where to find the original radio rom, as well as the OS rom? From what I understand to get back to the original bootloader, you just have to use the titan relock, right?

Pro with the MMS? Maybe you can tell me how to hell to use it. I'd like to look at pictures for more than 5 seconds. It's such a pita to use, maybe I'm just not comfortable with it yet. I hated my last phone, but it was so easy to sent and view MMS messages.
Since you're going from the stock rom, there's a chance you won't be able to place calls after the flash.
Call verizon, tell them you did a hard reset and can't place calls. If they press for answers, make something up... installed a program and the radio went apespit, etc. They'll get you working again.
Over at hofo a user said the tech on the phone asked him if he unlocked the GPS, the caller played stupid, but the tech knew what was up and still helped him out.
SO far so good.
I installed Olipro 2.40.
I then installed the stock Sprint ROM.
I let it run until i aligned the screen and it connected to my computer then I re-set it. I didn't know when it would try to customize my device so maybe I stopped too soon.
I'm not sure what you meant by "manually set it in bootloader" after that and since nothing came up asking to set anything on the reset I continued on to the DCD ROM.
It loaded no problem and everything seems to be working but I just tried a test call after doing *228,1 and it says they can't authenticate my phone.
SO at this point I guess I need to call VZW and get some help right or did I do something wrong

You stopped at the right time.
You will need to let Verizon know that you had to hard reset your phone and need the A Key. They will help you.
Were you following my directions?

Old Sprint Beta ROM

anyone got a link to the old sprint beta rom...? the one that was adding GPS and REV A
for whatever reason I updated to the latest OFFICIAL release and it will NOT provision.... Its really gay... Error 67/1012, 8 hours of tech support and a day and a half at a sprint repair center tells me i need to use my insurance when my 30days clear..... nothing they can do.....
it worked fine on the OLD v2 rom but with 2.40 HARDSPL it wont allow back to those versions so i figured id try the beta version...
Thanks anyone who can help
If you're having Error 67 right now there is a system wide problem, or so I was told. It isn't affecting everyone. I don't have internet now, but my brother does.
It has been my experience that flashing back won't help the 1012, I had that problem one time, and i tried to flash a different rom and it never made it better. I'd say give it till tomorrow and maybe they'll get the Error 67 problem fixed then it will work.
my problem has been happening for 2 weeks now....
Well, that's another story. I had to get them to reprovision my data on their end. Another thing that I've heard helps is creating a new vision username, you can do that on the Sprint site. You might try doing that and see if it gets you anywhere. I have the Sprint 3.16 rom though, if you'd like to try it, PM me and I'll get it to you.
Alright, I dug up the link for the 3.16 rom. It took some good searching, but here it is if you decide to try that.

The difficultly with Cricket is there is no "stock" Rom for this phone. I had the same problem with a Palm Treo, it worked great until I ported my home phone number to the phone and I lost internet. I could only find the same instructions that I have and must have punched it in a thousand times, called Cricket a couple to have my data package removed and added and nothing. When I swapped out for a Cricket Motorola K1m KRZR everything worked just fine. So something happened to the phone and I wasn't going to fix it as there was no stock rom to go to. You might try buying a cheap real Cricket phone off ebay, changing to that phone and then change back to the Titan and see if that changes something. $15 per swap though, maybe find a friend that can do it for free. Hope this helps.
I have other phones, even an other titan, same rom and everything. It has been my test phone for flashing. I didn't want to boar group with story. I ordered one from fundevices and after 6 weeks of waiting and calling, I ordered on off evilbay and it showed in two days. Ran it for a bit the way it came with 6.0 and would send pic but not recieve. Fathers day wife, kids and I went camping and my phone got soaked with soda (floated in it for while on car charger before I found it). Sunday we got home and I took phone apart and cleaned screen side best I could, but mother board and key board got most damage. It would come on, then off, and on, and off........
anyway I washed the mother board in hot water and dish soap in big bowl for about 15 minutes. Put all back together making sure everything was 100% dry. Turned it on, nothing. But it would charge battery. Monday the first one oredered (after 10 weeks) was at my door after work. I didn't activate it knowing I was going to change the rom, and just used wifi for about 5 days. Still using damaged one as a charger and backup battery. I sent both phones to to0 (mike cooper) and had him flash the to0v3 rom on one, but he couldn't get wet phone to come on. When I got phones back, it still had 1.20 bootloader and his rom. No gps, and it took me a week to get the net to work and mms never worked. Sent it to him under the impression that his rom posted on ppc, hofo and cricket phone talk saying everything worked, was what I was getting him to do. When I got it back, activated it, and made a call, no mic. It's not broken. Missing driver, missing patch? Don't know, I know it works. Make a call (not activated) and blow in mic. Get static. Do a video, and it records and plays back sound, but to do a voice command, or record a voice memo nothing. After a few days the battery was low, but not dead. I took backup off damaged phone and put in low battery and turned on (constant on and off would kill it for sure) and it came on. I mean it is the phone I use everyday, flashing, no luck, this post. Been going for about 6 weeks. Still untouched, 2.09 sprint rom with 1.32.00 radio, and it had a dcd hack since windows media player said dcd rom in back ground. How it came working on cricket. While flashing phone with no mic, I hooked up good phone and did unlocker on it without really knowing what I was doing. Of course it stuck in bootloader and I had no clue what to do. By now I have flashed, and flashed, and flashed. Even ripping apart roms posted to put together some things. E.G. dcd 1.6.0 to get stock 1.06 spl and putting it in 2.09 rom that was on phone ruu folder to get phone locked to do hard spl 2.40 Original rom had 1.20 and every time i relocker, it would get stuck in bootloader and then I would flash original rom, thus completing a circle.
How I got to where I'm at now. With 2.09 rom, use relocker, then rom I pieced up to get out of bootloader. Then run hard spl 2.40 since unlocker doesn't, and flashing 2.47 from card always gets me stuck in 2.07 bootloader. Once done hard spl, it's stuck in 1.20 bootloader, flash sprint 3.56, half way thru it stops and wants to recover (don't). remove battery and turn back on and force phone into bootloader and it is 2.40, flash vCBU and when done it gets stuck in boot screen and only thing in red letters is "no radio". Force in bootloader and flash 3.56 and not let customize. Then back to bootloader and flash over vCBU again. Then flash vboots. Then go thru and do reg hacks and fill in stuff for modem. And that is where I am. And yes, that is only way I could get everything flashed. 4 diff attempts on 2 phones, all left same path. Still have my nokia 6265 but wife uses for backup charger for her 6275 and some old dot matrix green screen cricket phones. I was hoping for an easier resilution. Since on phone was almost 4 bills, one was almost 3 bills, and sending to to0 to flashed was 70, pluse switching back and forth at cricket.

Was there a question in there?
How far did you get? where are you stuck? what part do you need help with?
Can you not flash 3.2.6 and run the cricket carrier cab to get all this working..? (I have VZW.. so I'm not sure about cricket)
Question is fairly clear. I posted link to ppcgeeks where my origanl question was, and when I said something about ruffling featers. Will I get anywhere asking this group to help me since it is a near perfect mirror of ppc geeks as for as stickies, threads, even what is in the threads word for word, bashing ppc for not having the backbone to answer my request for help and trying to get it here? If you read my post at ppc showing that my mms kinda works, my net does work my gps doesn't work, dialing *228 after going thru a list of prls. I guess it would be obvious of the whole, is there a question here?
How come my gps don't work after filling all appropriate fields in?
What the hell is up with my mms?
Why can't I get *228 to program my phone after changing prls
Why does the evdo change to 1x when in call and on net?

In my post at ppc it shows my pc is junk (ibm). Figuring out my build os to come up with with my own rom is a joke, it took me 2 hours to do first post here.

Sorry, but you asked.
Wow that seems like a lot of frustration, I am sorry to hear that. Have you tried to bring the phone back to its original carrier like Verizon or Sprint and then started over with the latest Radio and DCD Rom? The reason I ask is it seems that you might need to start from a known point to "clean" out all the "custom" stuff. You also might want to contact Bunvilla as he PMed me with Cricket info and has he Mogul working on Cricket:
well i bought a qwest mogul which was configured for qwest network. It took a few day to find a way to get the SPC or MSL code as they call it which allows me to go into the settings and change it from qwest to cricket settings. Once the settings have been changed then u will be able to gain access on crickets network. There is a very important file called a PRL which u need to load onto the phone but can only do it if u have the SPC code. good news i can tell u how to get any carries SPC code for the mogul/ its a piece of cake to switch and way cheaper of a bill and u will have access to all the features internet and everything. hope this has helped " cricket rules"

I unfortunately am not on Cricket with my Titan. I am getting ready to flash a Verizon Motorola K1m KRZR over to Cricket but it seems way different process. I hope you do figure it out and some one on Cricket here can help you get past this ugly mess. Hopefully Bunvilla can help. I will PM him now and ask him to get in touch with you.

Well, first I would like to help you… but you posted a link that does not take me to a post.. it takes me to a general forum.. And it’s the Vogue Forum at that. I’m not searching another board for your question. So Excuse me for not knowing your question.
Second, While I have not read your post there.. If you posted with anywhere near the lack of information or general attitude (as if you are entitled to be helped) as you did here.. I can see why nobody helped you. (edit I see more info in your second post but you are all over the place and filled with irrelevant info it's hardly readable)

Yes, a proper post with a well phrased question, information on what rom / radio / and steps you’ve taken.. and a proper post title will almost always get a response and the help you need to get you on the right track. The post title is important because people see those and decide.. “Hey I know how to fix that” (MMS and GPS on Cricket Help) would be a good one. Your title “Will this work” will be skipped by most people. So… if you don’t follow those steps.. NO it’s not worth asking here.

It’s possible you did something wrong… Because a rom does not work for you, you cant go blaming the rom.. unless everyone or most people have the problem. (I’m not familiar with that rom) If many people use it, and it works for most.. then the problem is probably you.. Bashing the rom will get you nowhere fast.
** Edit** Didn't realize To0's Rom was installed for you for $$.. odd?

DCD is what I use… Not sure I can help you with another rom… I cant fix your PC either. Whats blahh about a DCD rom.. Can you tell me what makes another rom better. They are all about the same except the performance tweaks and stability. DCD is stable and performs well.. everything else is an app that can be installed on any rom.

Once done hard spl, it's stuck in 1.20 bootloader, flash sprint 3.56, half way thru it stops and wants to recover (don't). remove battery and turn back on and force phone into bootloader and it is 2.40, flash vCBU and when done it gets stuck in boot screen and only thing in red letters is "no radio". Force in bootloader and flash 3.56 and not let customize. Then back to bootloader and flash over vCBU again. Then flash vboots. Then go thru and do reg hacks and fill in stuff for modem. And that is where I am. And yes, that is only way I could get everything flashed. 4 diff attempts on 2 phones, all left same path. Still have my nokia 6265 but wife uses for backup charger for her 6275 and some old dot matrix green screen cricket phones. I was hoping for an easier resilution. Since on phone was almost 4 bills, one was almost 3 bills, and sending to to0 to flashed was 70, pluse switching back and forth at cricket.

This whole process is wierd....
So I think I understand.. you are at SPL 2.40? Because 2.47 would not work? You put a sprint rom on it, but it says no radio?
Are you against DCD 3.2.6? I'll cook you a rom with the features you want and put it on my FTP if your computer is too slow to do it.
Do you have an SD card thats less than 2GB and formatted with Fat 32?
If so.. I should be able to help you get working.

Why hasn't cricket mofia chirped in?
wow!!!! Its gonna be ok lil buddy. hang in there and have some patients ( i know your patients has been depleted) and i will try and help u to get answers and your phone working properly again.
I personally have so much on my plate that i dont get to "ppc geekout" as much as i used to.
1) How come my gps don't work after filling all appropriate fields in?
well the answer is that u shouldnt really have to enter anything in any field/ just make sure that the radio and the rom are both of the GPS rom release. cant have a pregps radio with a gps enabled rom, this is not good.
2)What the hell is up with my mms?
mms is a fickled thing , especially for us cricket people/ the problem is the wap settings and some wierd issue in the reg where a certain setting would basically block our phones from recieving the mms message.
Long story short is that with the updating of roms (from wm5 to wm6 to wm6.1) the mms seems to also have changed and just when we figure out what the problem is , it gets changed. and also cricket service doesnt use as sophisticated servers for handling mms as lets say "sprint" so we cricket people have to make changes to get our mms to work . BUT in a nut shell i have successfully got mms to work with the latest PPCKITCHEN rom release.
It took me 5 1/2 hours to figure out y i couldnt get PPCKITCHEN to work on my computer./ had to use a utility to remove netframe work and then download a 200mbsfile of netframe 3.5 and that did the trick.
3)Why can't I get *228 to program my phone after changing prls?
BECAUSE U DONT HAVE YOUR SPC or MSL CODE SET TO 000000!
PERIOD!!!! im not yelling just letting u know exactly y/ ive done this successfully twice to my current titan/ cricket sets its SPC code for all its phones to 000000/ so when it trys to access your phone it cant get pass the code/ i have the modem drivers and program u will need (which i dont know if we are aloud to mention it here) but i have it and will pass it on to u/
4)Why does the evdo change to 1x when in call and on net?
now naturally your phone will switch betwwen evdo and 1x /1x when you recieve or make a call send a text msg etc, and evdo when using data/
connection/ Now i also expierenced a couple months back when my phone all of a sudden would not stay in evdo mode no matter what i did/ i think it was a certain rom and radio combo which fixed it, but anyhow first things first.
PS by the way, these 2 files have gotten me unstuck from the boot loader mode a bunch of times and i would say the most valuable files to have are these two/
i will PM u ok , lets just take it slow k, your situation sounds like a bunch of software issues which is ALOT better than defective hardware issues
JPWHRE
sorry if my spelling suks im a lil tired/ I did get a PM from jambrose/ So just to let u know, that u should give him a big thanks/ not that i wouldnt of helped u if i came across your post but to be honest i dont read alot of the posts anymore/
And by the way jambrose, its good to hear from u. Im glad u r out there helping these guys, and keeping the support going.
hey JPWHRE
for some reason i cant send u an attachment in a PM so i guess ill post the files and info here ok
1)First run the "titan RELOCKER" file with your
phone connected to active
sync, it should return your
phone to the stock
bootloader/
2)Next run the "titan unlocker"
next , this will allow u to
install olipro 1.20/ after
running the unlocker and
following its instructions u
might be in bootloader mode
if i remember right
3) your phone should be in
bootloader mode now,(if it
aint, put it in boot mode) so
just run the "ROM update
utility" in the "olipro 1.20
unlocker" folder im sending u
k/
** u may still be in
bootloader mode when u r done
installing the 1.20 BL, NO
PROBLEM, just run the
DisconnectActiveSync.exe file
first in the "Unlockboot
folder" i have included, THEN
the "titan_exitbl.exe"/
THIS should cause your phone
to reboot.
4)next i believe we r ready
to load radio ( for some
reason the radios can only be
installed using olipro 1.20)
in the folder i have the
radio in, u will run the ROM
update utility and install
the radio.
5) Next u will need to update
your bootloader to 2.40, so
that u can load a custom rom.
Just run the
"Hard-240SPL-MFG.exe" file
ive included and it should
update u with no problems,
Once this has been done u can
now go and install ROM of
your choice/ *** PPCKITCHEN latest rom release allows MMS for us cricket folks**** and if u installed the ROM and cant get the MMS to work just PM me and ill give u the instructions to enable it, there is some adjustment that will need to be made first , so dont worry , we will get it working k**
6) well my friend this has
taken alot out of me/ i will
post these instructions im
giving u under your thread
that way incase i have missed
something, somebody can
inform us/
PS GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND, and
if u get stuck or have a
question, just PM me, but if
i dont get back to u right
away, be patient, k
heres a link to all the neccessary files, its to big to add as an attachement:

i try, realy i do. have done all with no help (not that i haven't asked) but i can only get so far. really kills me to read signatures of others bragging how they have their titan going with gps,mms,net (everything including kitchen sink) on cricket. yet i get nowhere, even when 3 ask. i know that ppcgeeks is almost a mirror of this site, and i don't mean to ruffle feathers, but ppc only seems to be a good place to SEARCH, i'm having no luck with forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=48

DID THIS HELP U???? I havent heard one way or the other from u so i am wondering if this worked for u ??
Just looking for a place to start...
I have Cricket on my PoS Cricket phone. Unlimited mobile web on my account. I also have an originally T-mobile Wizard which I've been using just as a mini-laptop and to learn to cook, flash, etc on...
I'm about to buy a Mogul which is supposedly Cricket flashed and/or a Sprint phone originally. As I understand it, either of these should be qualifiers for a fully functional Cricket Smartphone, yes? I want my voicemail, text messages, to surf the web via my cell connection as well as wifi. Bluetooth, gps, and just about anything else are icing that isn't -truly- a requisite for me. What thread should I start reading for -any- Rom that will accomplish the above. I don't mind if the rom is "too blahh". If you are opposed to singling out a specific rom that you (as a cricket customer with a running mogul) like...You could always post a few that you know work. I understand how the "best rom" politics go.
Also, if there are any other considerations I should keep in mind, please reply!

[Q] Erased my Data Profile?

Hey, everyone. Let me first tell you how much I love this forum. <3 I browse it every damn day of my life It's my favorite.
But on to the question...
I bought an Evo 3D that was flashed to Boost Mobile before I bought it...
I bought it and got it working with my own account on Boost Mobile.
Everything was working fine except I couldn't pay my bill for a few months.
Boost Mobile sent me an e-mail saying they gave me a month of service for free.
I went to turn my phone on. It wouldn't connect to the towers or anything.
I thought it was because of all of the ROM flashing that I was doing... I reflashed
back to a Sense ROM to see if it worked or not. I'm not sure wtf was up with my
head. Maybe I was getting a bit impatient... Usually I don't do dumb **** like this
but...
I went into '##data#' in my Sense ROM, went to 'Edit Mode' and deleted my
entire 'Data Profile' on it. Now, I know my phone's connecting to the towers.
I have (what I think is) the correct IPs to get Boost Mobile service as well as
my '[email protected]'... Can anyone give me a step-by-step
to getting my phone working again?
Unfortunately, I don't have the Incognito that the flasher used to flash my
phone. I bought the phone already on Boost Mobile... But I could get the MEID/ESN
that was flashed onto my Evo 3D by going into CDMA Workshop... But I was only
reading, not writing. I'm not sure if that'll help or not... But yeah.
Is this fixable? Please tell me it is...
I'd like to use Boost Mobile in the future and I love my phone dearly.
Thanks a lot XDA! <3
mongem true.
hey im having sort of the same problem...did you ever find a solution? if you did could you help me out a bit

[Q] question about flashing for frawg

Hey guys I have a quick question. I've done some searching and am not sure about this. I bought a evo 3d from a friend of mine. It was a sprint phone that is now on frawg. Last week the internet and everything worked fine. I activated it under my number this week and now the internet no longer works. It just says no connection when you try anything internet related if you are not on WiFi. I called frawg and they said it was the flash coming out. Is this something I can fix myself or do I really have to pay these guys $50 to fix the flash.
Come on guys somebody's gotta know about this.I've been googling but don't really understand what I need

Going to need more info before anyone can attempt to help. What exactly was flashed (ROM, radios, etc)? Where did the content that was flashed come from, along with a link to it. No one can help without being able to see what it is.
That being said, a flash doesn't "come out."
Your friend should be able to help you or have the info. Maybe paying the $50 to have frawg fix it would be best as it seems you aren't familiar with flashing.
It is running the stock rom 4.0.3. As far as I know the ntelos radio and prl were flashed by an employee at the ntelos store. He has tried to take it up there for me but she took a few days off this week. I know a little bit about flashing ROMs but I don't know if this is like a ROM or completely different.
So is this something I can do myself?
It is if you have the radios and prl to flash

Can those be found on line? Apparently the person that flashed it does not work there anymore or they just don't want to fix it. It looks like I'm stuck fixing it my self

If it worked before you activated it on your account and you didn't change the phone (flash new rom or RUU) then it isn't the phone. Like I said before, a flash doesn't "come out" like they told you. Flashing the radios over again won't fix it. To me it sounds like it's service related, and only frawg can do something about it. They need to reprovision your phone from their end. The only other thing to check is the network setting on your phone and make sure that mobile data is enabled.
No I haven't tried to flash a Rom or anything on the phone. I also do not receive voicemail notifications. I have talked to a few people at their customer service and in the store and they all say the same thing. ill try to call after work about what you said. Mobile network was enabled but it does. Not connect.
