[Q] Activating Optimus V on Sprint's network - Optimus One, P500, V General

Hi,
I'm a long-time lurker, this is my first post. I've searched and searched for this topic, but I dont think that it's something many people are trying to do. I hope I'm posting into the right forum. I'm pretty new to any sort of Android development, so I apologize in advance for any
I have a Virgin Optimus V that I have moved over to Sprint.
The phone has been activated on Sprint and I'm capable of making phone calls and SMS, but I can't get the device to connect to Sprint's 3G data.
I figured that by installing a Sprint ROM, I would get the Sprint modem.bin and be able to "Update Profile" to provision the phone to Sprint and get data working.
no such luck. I have flashed over to the Thunder rom for Optimus S and I'm in the same place. I can call and text, but still no Data. When I try and "Update Profile" it fails and immediately restarts the device.
Any ideas as to what is left on the device that would prevent it from connecting to Sprint data?

Bump... I would also like to know the answer to this since I've been thinking of doing this as well. How were you able to get the phone on Sprint's network in the first place?

I'm operating on an MVNO Wholesale network. If I were trying to activate this device on the normal Sprint network, I could understand the problem, as you can't switch ESNs back and forth. Given my scenario, I really can't understand what could possibly be limiting me from doing this. . .
Since my OP, I've flashed the Sprint PRL to the phone with qpst. I'm running ThundeROM V1.8. I turn on Airplane Mode, then turn it off and I see the 3G data icon for just a minute and then it disappears. When I try to update the Profile now, it trys and trys and eventually times out. . . but it no longer restarts the device after failing.
I'm also prompted to install system updates. . . which seems to indicate some kind of data connection is active?
I've been trying to change the APN settings through ##DATA#, but after I make a change to the Data Profile Username (from the @mdata.vombl.com to @sprintpcs.com) the phone restarts and the OLD values are still in the phone?
I'm thinking that the ##DATA# settings are incorrect? But how can I get the changes I make to "Stick" ? Since all of these settings were reset the last time I wiped the phone, I'd imagine that the AAA Password will also need to be set?
I was under the impression that the AAA Password (and most of the ##DATA# settings would configure themselves once I program in the MSID and MDN?)
Any help or shoves in the right direction would be appreciated.

I wish I was more knowledgeable in this area to be able to help...

Sorry! I didn't mean to dismiss your issue if this is what you're trying to do, I'm interested in this also. . . but I think Sprint keeps Virgin ESN's distinctly seperate from Sprint ESN's, the classic problem with a lot of other devices people would love to use on Sprint. I just lost my personal Sprint phone and I need a new one, it would be great if I could flash this V over to it.
I'm pretty new to this stuff too . . . I think that someone with more knowledge could likely help both of us =)

Any update? I was think about doing the same thing.

Bump
I really doubt you can get Sprint to provision the phone because I'm sure they would want to keep the meids/esns separate.
I have the same issue but have repaired my ESN. I have tried copying the actual NV items directly to the memory locations but on reboot the Virgin info repopulates. I posted in the the general section before I found this thread. I got no response in my thread yet. If mods want to move my thread into this one, I am fine with that.
If I find out anymore info, I will post in here.

I'm sure you're having an issue with the AAA and HA passwords for 3G. Unlike other phones, the Optimus V is not well-mapped (yet) for this info. A lot of people are having 3G issues when the phone updates, say from 2.1 to 2.2. VM customer support is terrible, they usually say to just pull the battery. Apparently the AAA and HA do not come back under these circumstances. If there was a way to find the HA and AAA PW like you can for others, people could fix this problem themselves.
Sorry this is no help, but I think that is the specific problem you're having based on your OP.

Sprint Touch Pro on VZW Network

Okay
I bought the htc touch pro sprint version off a good deal. I used the elite team unlocker and I tossed the vzw leaked rom on the touch pro. Installation of the leaked rom went fairly well, and I thought I was ready to get this device connected via vzw network. I called vzw 3 times, went to 3 different stores, all have the same answer.
They cannot add the esn to their database. So my question is - what's the workaround regarding that policy? Do I have a very expensive alarm on my hands or is there something that can be done?
btw I haven't unlocked the msl code and I put the sprint rom (stock rom) back on the device to start fresh. Bear in mind I tried Getspc and I found that didn't work too well. I also tried QPST on vista and windows xp and the same popup on both machines came up (installing new drivers, please select driver location) to try and change the msl.
Any other thoughts or a good direction of where to go? I tried going to mobile files and I got an okay understanding of it, but an issue is well...I'm not sure of what to do.
I know there was a thread in the diamond forum to change the esn and I think that would be a good idea, what are your thoughts on it? Is it a good idea? Did I just open up pandora's box?
Try this
Go to forum.ppcgeeks.com
I believe I read something similar to this on that site. Don't know about the solution, but they are more advanced in dealing with the CDMA Pro, as they appear to have had it longer.
Sorry I couldnt help more. So Much for the Open Network Verizon promised.
Carriers sometimes are just a BIG Joke.
yeah I was reading two topics started by one guy...seems he went through the same drama that i went through
so I'm thinking from the discussion the only way would be to send the phone to verizon and I don't want to do that honestly
Dont
Don't Do it, and Verizon would rather you bu their own touch Pro when it gets released
Unless you can edit/spoof a Verizon ESN I don't think it's possible currently. If you do manage to find a way to do that, you need to be careful as it's probably illegal (as the ESN could belong to someone else -- and I'm sure there's laws in place to "protect you") -- Guessing at least, IANAL
Yes, technically it is illegal to change the ESN of a phone, however, I know that there was a way to change it (at least for the Mogul).
its been done

its my understanding that at this time vzn has suspended adding ESN's to there DMD. check the PPCgeeks post above your post and check to make sure though.
Yeah, I see they have some Sprint Touch Pro's on e-bay and I was thinking about getting one for my verizon account because they are cheaper and also I heard they have more processor memory or something. So does that no longer work, or can someone point me to a thread on this?
if you go to PPC geeks you can fint the post in the TP section.
I have a sprint touch pro on vzw network working perfectly using the above method a wile back, however 2 days ago i lost internet, and decided to activate an old phone and reactivate the touch pro to reset the internet settings on verizons network, when reactivating the sprint touch pro i was told the esn was invalad du to the fact that it was not 911 compadable,.. wich we allknow it is, but i believe verizon has just set their network to generate that error when a sprint esn is trying to be added, as of right now there is a truble ticken in with verizons it department but, im not very hopefull, i think my next step would be to clone an esn of a verizon phone i am not using, can anyone help me with that?
if it was anything close to what I had to do to get it on alltel, if you can get them to add the esn you may have to manually program it then add a prl then try *228 it....you do best to call vzw CS and tell them its theirs if they ask...

PRL 30044 Disables my phone!!!

Hello I bought nice phone from ebay and I went to activate it and everything went fine, but when I do a *228 it updates the prl to 30044. After reset the phone does not work at all, the only way I can get it to work is if I use PRL 30036.
I have an alltel Phone and touch pro can anyone help? I have spent the last two days on tech support with Alltel and they dont know what to do, they told me the hardware is broken but how can that be if the prhone works with older PRL??
I just dont get it.
are u upgrading the roaming towers when doing *228 or doing the activate ur phone option ?
i am doing the option 1.
option one is to activate your phone option 2 updates the PRL - so chances are there something wrong with the activation process. so try option 2 instead of option 1 ... i do beleive 30036 is when alltel used 3rd party towers still and 30039 is when they started to cut out other carrier towers and switch over to pure alltel and verizon towers. but i dont know i havent tried editing the PRL files and compairing them.
is your phone a Alltel one or is it sprint or verizon or some unknown carrier created version?
Ok heres what I figured out, its not actually the prl updating that is disabling the phone, but the activation.. when I dial *228 and do option 2, it will update my prl.. and everything will work fine, but if I do an option 1 it will update the prl and disable the phone... Something else is happening when I do *228 with option one...
Alltel is clueless. The "engineer" that is handling my trouble ticket left me a voicemail today asking why i dont just keep the 30036 prl, well obviously since its outdated lol and I am roaming where ever I go.
Its an alltel phone with stock alltel Rom. The ebay listing said it works on verizon network. I spoke with a verizon rep and he said thats impossible. Again i know he is full of it because I have been reading the forums.
chances are the previous owner did some edits using QPST and possibly caused it to do some funky things... i dont see why the activation of the phone would cause it to disable but the verizon agent is half right(he is probably a CSR dealing in customer service not a TSR who deal with technical issues. he doesnt know jack about the technical aspects of the phone as much as he would like to think he does. but if its unlocked and flashed to a verizon rom it would work. possibly)
im thinking there is something that the phone is not interpriting correctly when it takes the activation update and confusing the living hell outta it ... what rom and radio is the phone running?
I have reverted back to the stock rom from alltel, which I read somewhere contains the newest radio. not sure where to look for the specific radio version.
I believe your right about the other guy using qpst to change some settings. It seems to hard to believe that it could be a hardware issue. i guess now I just need to know what settings he changed and get them back. Ive got QPST now and I have my phone connected to it, but I don't know what information to change so im kind of just waiting for instructions lol. I found a couple thread oon how to convert alltel phones to Verizon, but none that are going to alltel so I don't know where to get all the proper settings.
Ok so I read somewhere that part of the process of converting over to the other network is deleting the ha and aaa shared secret keys, then resetting the device, i did this, because I thought maybe he put in verizon in in these boxes, but it did not help, and now the two entried do not even show up in epst.
I tried re-adding them via QPST as text values, I write to phone, but the information does not take. I have the HA and aaa shared secret keys written down.
i think once u flash to stock rom that should change it for you when u do the activation so now that ur on stock try the *228 option 1 and see if it kills the phone features.
the radio you can find in device information should tell u the radio the prl and the meid and mdn.... what u wana make sure is that the mdn does not change when doing a *228 option 1 ... if that clears that would mean ur phone doesnt know it has a phone # :\
as for the QPST stuff i dont have it installed right now so i dont know the settings... the alltel stock rom shouldnt have an aaa key i beleive dew to the phone does not have auth for the internet like verizon. dont know about the HA though ... i think that comes from *228 option 1
what you can try is dial ##778# or ##778 and press send and it should pull it up the HA shared secret is something strange by the activation the AAA shared secret should be alltel you should be able to edit them in there itws under M.ip default profile
ok i see them now, I had NSFANS rom installed a few hours ago ann I was able to do ##3282# (doesnt work with altell rom) and I could actually restore the EPST settings there, after it reset everything was blank, I had to flash the stock alltel rom again to get all the alltel settings in there and I had to add my SID MSID and NAI, after that.
Something is still wrong though, Im not sure what my ha or aaa shared keys are even doing, or if i should change them. Im really lost at this point.
And Data hasnt been working since day 1 not sure if thats relevant.
data i think is what uses the keys ... also is the data connection set to use the #777 to dial out with no user name or password ... does the *228 option 1 work when on the alltel stock rom also?
Ok the user name and password were blank, I seem to remember on my titan the settings were [email protected] and password blank., the *228 option 1 messes the phone up then i have to install a older prl, everything works except i get a romaing triangle and no evdo, just 1x.
I just spoke with an alltel rep again to pick his brain for a minute and he said why am i doing option 1 that could mess my phone up, and really i have no idea why i am trying to do it. i just want my evdo to work and to get a good signal and Data to work properly.
Ok so noy my data works.. lol
Only real problem I have is no ev and the roaming triangle.
the roaming thing is usually comes from a flash of a differnet carriers stock rom and it ran the customizations ... that could also be the cause of the option 1 f-ing everything up but you said u flashed to the stock alltell one off the htc site so it should wipe out those settings... im waiting right now for the replacement phone to come in the mail once it gets here ill copy down all the settings from stock and post em but iv been waiting about a week and a half for it to arrive so im not holding my breath. (the last one they sent took a month and it was active on some one elses account and it was listed as stolen... how nice of them)
I cant find where the mdn information is listed.
I found the HA and AAA shared secret keys, but I dont know if I should delete them or just leave them be..
Ok I got my new phone today, a brand new one. And they were having the same exact problem activating it as they were with this phone. Im gonna have to chalk this one up as an error on alltels network. One thing I think it may have been is that I had my number changed recently so my number and my MSID are not the same my MSID is my old phone number.
They started to tell me that the new phone i bought was broken again and I said the chances of that were astronomical. I told them to go in the back and get me one of their touch pros, activate it and then try telling me the same thing. He came back out with a blackberry, activated it then smirked as he was able to activate it. I said that's not a touch pro though, go in the back and get a touch pro and try to activate that. as I was saying that he reactivating my new touch pro, and then he was like "oh its working now" lol so for now its working.
Now that I have both touch pros, the only difference i can find in the EPST settings are the SID/NID numbers, on the new one the settings are 1/244, on the old one the settings are 244/63535. don't quote me on the 63535, it was similar to that but i have already packaged the phone for shipment and i don't feel like getting it back out.

[Q] X2 on Alltel?

I have searched and searched and cannot find an answer. I recently acquired a Verizon Droid X2 and had it switched to my Alltel plan. Phone works great, but I cannot fix the dreaded no 3g no mms issues.
I have tried everything I could think of, but nothing. Wifi works fine, dialing out and receiving calls work fine, and sms text works fine.
I looked at the apn setting, which are not easy to find without the help of a 3rd party program on the market (apn shortcut), but now what I see is 5 entries for Verizon related services:
Verizon CBS
Verizon DUN
Verizon FOTA
Verizon IMS
Verizon Internet
But they all have a lock icon next to them, so I can't change any settings. I have tried creating a new entry but it doesn't save for some reason (my wife has the milestone x for alltel, works fine, I used tried to use her settings)
I have tried updating the prl, tried things like ##778 and all that, but none of these work for alltel.
Can anyone offer any help? Phone is almost worthless for me if I can have 3g and mms.
Thanks,
andyw123,
If you are subscribing to these service's that's something you should call Alltel / Verizon about. Verizon ownes Alltel I'am not sure if you know that.
{In early 2009, Verizon Wireless acquired Alltel, although the Alltel brand will remain until it is gradually phased out through the middle of 2009. Alltel was a large regional CDMA carrier offering service in 33 states, primarily in the south, midwest, and west. In 2005, the company acquired Western Wireless, a smaller carrier that operated under the Cellular One brand with service in 19 western states.}
Hope's This Help's
Thanks for the quick reply!
Ya, I tried that. They basically told me in a polite way that I shouldn't have taken a phone that wasn't part of Alltel's current line up and activated it on Alltel. Alltel told me that they could activate it, but couldn't guarantee that it would even work at all, which doesn't suprise me at all coming from Alltel.
I stopped at a total of 3 places, 2 alltel's and 1 verizon store. The first alltel told me they couldn't activate the x2 at all, but he tried, which messed up my current phone (he somehow deactivated it). Then went to Verizon next, they told me that I couldn't activate it at all because it wasn't part of Alltel's line up. Then I went to a corp store to get my old phone fixed, and somehow they were able to activate my x2, but with no data and no mms. Told me I was basically out of luck.
So, trying to decide if I should just sale the x2, which I don't want to do because currently the best phone Alltel has is the milestone x, which my wife has and it is dreadfully slow, slower than my old htc desire.
Anyone know of any other options that I might have?
Thanks
To access the programming menu open the dialer and dial ##PROGRAM the spc code is 000000

Thanks Juhde,
I've already been in that menu, made sure ALL (except for my phone number) settings matched my wifes milestone x phone, and still nothing. I'm not an expert, but sounds to me like it has something to do with the APN settings, which I cannot seem to change.
Funny thing about this is, I can "copy" the apn-conf.xml file or whatever it is called from the system/etc folder on the phone, and it shows my custom settings that should work (the same file was on my HTC phone, which worked). But, when I use the program from the market called "APN Shortcut" to view my apn settings, it doesn't show anything other than the verizon defaults. I have tried to add a new APN entry, but when I click save, it acts like it did save it, but no new entry.
I'm wondering if there is another location that is saving these entries and somehow verizon has figured out a way to bypass the default location to save apn settings. Later, I'm going to search on the phone and see if there is another xml file that contains those settings.
Thanks for the help!
I'm no expert at this, but a lot of the times "replacement" files won't function unless the permissions are set correctly. I'm not sure what the permissions should be for that file but you might want to look into it.
EDIT: after taking a closer look, the app APN Manager seems to be a better program for adding an apn. Wither it works I can't say but when I used it to swap apn it stuck after reboot.

This isnt alltel but i got my phone activated on another carrier.like you talk and txt worked. It wasn't until I flashed a few prl's and found one that got my 3g and mms working.mms still works spotty sometimes ,however.
I have 4 Verizon branded phones (mine is an x2) all using an alltel plan. I don't understand why you are having any problems at all
Do you mind give me some info from your x2? Like what the apn settings are set to and what prl you have?
Thanks!
i also have an alltel dataplan with an X2, no issues,
and no offense, but i dont know what is privileged info and what is not, so i wont be sharing
sorry

WTF do you mean privileged info? I think he is just wanting to compare the numbers, what is he going to do with the info from your phone, besides compare to his current setup?
There is nothing that I can do with your apn settings or your prl version that you are running. This is just so I can see if my setting are the same as your working settings. I have compared them to my wifes Milestone X and they are the same.
On another note. Here is something wierd. I was able to erase all the apn setting from verizon (i think) and then I added the apn setting from my wifes phone, clicked on save, and then it went back and didn't actually save them.
The more and more I think about it, I am wondering if it is a PRL problem instead of the apn settings problem. Seems alot of people got this problem fixed on their phone by doing the prl change. Problem with that is, most people say to do a ##prl to fix it, that doesn't work on this phone. The only code I can get to work is *#*#program#*#* or something like that. So, anyone know of a way to manually change my prl on my phone?
The prl update number for Verizon is *228 since Verizon owns Alltel I think it's the same.
Sent from my Android device.
Ya, thats it if you want to download whichever one that want to give you, but it won't let me put one on there that I got, if that makes any sense at all.
Basically, is there a file location that I can copy it to or maybe a way to install it like I would a zip from recovery or anything like that? I already have the file download that I want to try to use, but basically going to try a few to see if I notice any difference.
p.s. Now I think my phone is actually only ringing part of the time, the other times it seems to go straight to voice mail even though I have 4 bars and not in roaming...
Thanks for the input everyone by the way!
Sooooo you have dialed *228 and it didn't work? Verizon also has forced and secondary prl update numbers. Try *22898 & *22899. Also what does your network banner say? Alltel? Extended network? If it says Extended network you might call Alltel up and ask them where the nearest Alltel owned tower for you is, drive to its area, reboot and try to update again. 3rd party towers *usually* don't carry the data encryption key your phone needs to activate the data plan.
Sent from my Android device.
Ok, well... I called both the other *228xx numbers, and I was greeted by alltel. I clicked on 2 and it said "Your phone already contains the latest update" and that was it. and as far as my banner, it doesn't actually "say" alltel, or anything like that. Just shows with the 4 bars, or a triangle if I am in roaming. I know from past that in a near by big city does have alltel towers around, and I was there but no difference.
So, still back to square one.
Thanks again for all your help!!
Another quick update. I finally found a way to update just the prl file. So, I tried 41003.prl and updated it manually (was not too difficult, just alot of trial and error). Phone worked just fine, but still no 3g coverage. Next I went to 31005.prl which is an actual alltel prl, but still the same effect - no 3g.
So, I went back to the latest prl from alltel which is 31011.
So, I am pretty sure that the prl file is not the problem. I guess now I need to figure out the apn setting issue that I am having, which is basically the default verizon settings are not working for me, even if I am in a verizon territory (like columbus ohio, big city). Using an app that was suggested to me on this thread I was able to delete the verizon apn settings fine. But when I went to create new apn settings, I went through it all and clicked on save, but it didn't actually save them. So, back to square one.
It would be nice if someone who is currently using a stock x2 from verizon on alltel would tell me what their prl version number is and their apn settings are (using an app like apn shortcut - found on the market).
On a side note. One difference I noticed. Looking at my old android phone (htc desire), it shows the same apn setting basically as my wifes phone, but the MNC number is 120, mine is currently set to 004, which is not changeable.
Several weeks later, and still no 3g data at all. Wireless works flawless, and phone calls work (actually phone works better than an alltel phone)
One thought that I had but not sure if I posted about yet...When I got the phone from the guy I got it from, he said he "thinks" it has a bad esn. So, I got it on a chance, afterall I could sell it on ebay for more than I paid for it with a bad esn. Anyway, if it does have a bad esn on verizon, I'm not entirely sure that Alltel would check it or even care about that. So, since alltel is owned basically by verizon, but still a separate company as of now, I wonder if verizon is blocking data access because it might have a bad esn.
I guess my next step is to call verizon and see if they can tell me if the esn is bad. I have tried a verizon store, and they were NO help to me at all, and actually very rude. Alltel just tells me that "I won't be able to get data because I am not using one of their phones" which is crap.
So, I think ultimately we have eliminated the prl possibility, apn is still my number one concern, but now I am leaning towards a bad esn. If that is the case, does anyone have any ideas on what I might be able to do with a bad esn? I know it is illegal to "change" an esn, and I don't think it is possible right now with the x2, but do I have any other options besides going back to my old phone (htc desire - not a bad phone, just want the larger screen and faster performance).
Thanks again everyone. Everyone has been alot of help!
If you wanna take drastic measures, search for a program called radiocomm, it's what motorola uses to program the radio.
A word of warning: if you change something with radiocomm and do it wrong the radio will become useless and the software is VERY complex to use. It could take you literally years to figure out but who knows, maybe you can find out exactly what parameter needs tweaking. I'd advise caution using radiocomm though. I just wanted you to know of the option.

[Q]Boost Mobile AAA Auth.

Please, no snide remarks.
I wanted to be absolutely sure.
While messing around with my phone, I happened to erase
my Data Profile. Unfortunately, I bought the phone pre-flashed
on eBay.
I've looked in QPST and QDXM for the HA and AAA passwords on
the Evo 3D itself and it comes up as all 0x00's besides the Sprint
HA password.
So to be absolutely sure, there's no way to retrieve the AAA
password? Even if I called up Boost Mobile? Do they even have
access to my AAA password?
I'm stuck in 1x. Well, it said I'd connected to the Evdo A once before
but the AAA wouldn't auth. Sigh. I'm so sick of this 1x hell
Should I call Boost Mobile?
Or get another Incognito and flash it myself?
from what i gather u may need to get another incognito or rant as donor phone or you could see whoever flashed it originally can extract the info off again after it handsfree activates granted they didnt destroy/throw it away already
Good Luck
Were did you erase the data profile from ???
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
'##3828#' or '##data#'
Edit Mode.
Enter MSL.
Go to Data Profile.
Press the Menu button.
It has 'Commit Modifications' and 'Restore.'
I hit restore, thinking it would have the same
effects as '##rtn#' or '##786#' would but it
didn't.
My whole Data Profile got erased. Doing a '##rtn#'
fixed most of my problems. But I've been messing around
in QPST and even after restoring my original settings, it
all funky when it comes to data. It used to stay in 1x
(which is fine now that I don't have reliable data at all anymore)
Sometimes it comes on(with only 1x speeds)
But a lot of the time, it doesn't even work at all. I think this is
because it's trying to connect to authenticate so it'll shut my
Data off for a second or two, trying to connect to Evdo.
Sigh.
This is all a bit bothersome.
If I can't fix the 3G, can I at least fix how it's trying to change
from 1x to Evdo A every 30 seconds? Like... Force 1x or something.
Oh and on a side note! By messing around in
QPST so much, trying to get my 3G fixed, a Boost Mobile
guy answered when I tried calling someone. He said
I was trying to call on a flashed phone. I told him it was
the Samsung Incognito, snicker snicker.
He said to fix the problem, I'd have to get a new phone
from the nearest Boost Mobile store. But the weird thing
is, everything continued to work after the call ended.
I tried calling my friend again with the same number, it
went through. Texting has been going through. etc.
How odd, rite?
Lmao man extremely odd. So if I'm understanding you everything works now but your still stuck on 1x right ???
Also were you getting 3g speeds before this ??? Also can you contact the guy who flashed the phone to ask what kind of phone he used to do the flash ??
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I know with the EVO 4g you can program data over the air with update profile if the spc matches what boost has on file. I'd try switching your esn on my account on boost mobile and than switch it back. It should tell you what the spc should be. Than use a program such as cdma workshop to write the correct spc. Than rtn reset, go to settings and update profile. Like I said, works on the EVO 4g. Let me know if it works on the 3d.

@laie1472, The guy I bought it from bought it from ANOTHER guy who flashed it. Dx It DID have 3G before, though. I feel so dumb for that ****. I mean, I wrote ALL of the values down except for the '******'d ones. wtf? lol.
@troublein420, If it's not too much hassle, may I have more detailed instructions? Your idea sounds pretty good. What's an SPC, exactly?
Btw, while doing a Profile Update or after (can't remember right now. kinda dazed) I always get an Error Code 67.
Thanks, everyone!
I'm almost 100% positive that you'd need to extract that info off the donor phone. Don't think you can get that phone provisioned OTA, but if you can that would get your 3G back, but again, I'm not 100% certain on how the phone provisions, I've read some things about profile 0 etc, but I'm not sure. If you do ##MSL#, replace MSL with your MSL code, then it will ask you to input your phone number and MDN then reboot then it will try to provision. You could try that. But you may need to change your phone # reboot, then change it back otherwise the setting won't take effect. If that doesn't work I don't know.
I did a little further research and asked a few good friends of mine and after a long discussion we all came to the conclusion that unfortunately man in our opinion you will need to get the donor phone back to extract the info you need. Like the nv items,nam files,aaa password,etc. We could not think of a way to retrieve data profile. However "I'm sure you already know this" you could just get another incognitio off line for cheap and reflash it. Whish I could have helped you out more man I've never been in your situation but I know it blows big time.

Thanks everyone for your help
Spc is the same as msl. It's the programming code. If you go on ur account on boost mobile and change ur esn and than change it back, it should give you the programming code along with the phone number and msid.

What I Do Know
There are 2 AAA & HA secret keys, one that the phone manufacturer (IE: Samsung) programs into the phone, and a second one that the cell phone provider (IE: Sprint) programs on the phone. When the phone is new the manufacturer programs the AAA & HA "Default" secret codes on the phone. When the is put into service for the 1st time the providers database looks at the default values to make sure that they match what is in their database as well as the MEID # (possibly another value as well). If the default keys match whats in the data base & whats in the phone, then the "network" using an algorithm changes the AAA & HA shared keys and programs them to the phone. After the very 1st initialization of the phone, the database will now only "authenticate" the new AAA & HA shared keys. In order to make each AAA & HA values unique to each phone, there has to be at least one algorithm (I don't know if the manufacturer uses a fixed number for all of their phones or an algorithm based on the phones MEID; I assume they use an algorithm as well) that the provider uses to calculate them based on the phones MEID. Essentially if someone could find out 1.) the manufacturers AAA & HA algorithm (or fixed numbers) and 2.) the providers algorithm then AAA & HA keys could be calculated based on a telephone's MEID.

[Q] Flashing to verizon, data issue

Hello,
regarding people coming up and saying about legality, I own my phones and acc.
if you dont post in here, please send me a pm.
I have an evo 3d rooted, I put my phone's donor on my evo, I own my acc and phone with verizon. I just like to use my evo 3d. Anyway, I have voice/text working, but data. also the roaming triangle, My phone sees it as I'm roaming, while my phone already uses verizon services in my acc.
But I truly need my data working.
Thanks for help.

thanks, edited
come on, impossible no one has done it before.....!!!!
Ok, funny thing, couple of years ago I made a post to get your evo on Metropcs when people was charging an arm an a leg for that.
it has gone on for +2 with +160k views ..
Now I come around asking a hint so where we can debate about that...
No one could post or pm with anything. besides swaping esn/meid which we'll not be covering in this topic for legality issues.
the rest is Technical matter.
Anyway...
I called verizon customer service today, twice.
first time they said to clear browser data(so smart) though I didnt even had 3G or any sort of internet conection.
of course didnt work and they want to send me a new phone.
second call, I was straight out, I said I was messing with my phone and software
and I erased the AAA/HA keys... well, went through some process and at their end my phone was successfully up and running. Meaning my phone had download the keys just right.
It get me to one point. the problem seems to be at my end.
Not sure if it is related with the ROM/Kernel/Keys/PRL/Roaming/etc....
Again, voice and text works just fine.
Now data still down, if could get at least the 1x going I would have more time to work on the 3g
Anybody out wanna work this out lmk, if you have gone thru this.. lmk.
really appreciate that.
fckng place...!!!
