The other day I called sprint having 4g connection issues and they gave me a ## code to reset phone and make it do hands free activation again I didn't write it down and need it again i would like a list if all the ## codes if anyone has it
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
##72786# will not erase your data (apps, etc.)
##786# will do a factory reset.
You will need your MSL.
Been having 4G issues too. They're claiming nationwide 4G connectivity problems. the code they had me use is ##3282#. From there go into "Data Profile" hit menu and then "Restore". It goes through Hands Free Activation when it boots up.
##72786# was the one I was lookin for thx

Be careful ... we ARE known to get things right.
Of course we get things wrong too, like a phone being "DBR" or "LD".... LOL !
If you need the definition of those 2, shoot me a PM and I will tell ya. PM your phone number while your at it.
J/K ... it takes a lot to be a tech, whether it is a Repair store or on the phone.
It is hard to imagine the staggering numbers of " dumb " people owning smart phones.

LOL i know a few of you know what is going on but I get some dumb responses this issue here I explained to them I do not live in a 4g area but when I'm in dfw for work my 4g does not work the first 7 people I talk to say sir after checking the address on your act the problem is you are not in a 4g area I wanted to jump thru the phone thenvi get a tech supervisor from shreveport la which is right up the road and she was very helpfull thank god for the ones that do help just is ashamed I had to be on tthe phone 2 hrs on my day off to find her

Your right Ruff ... it is a shame when a " tech " can't provide an answer to your legitimate questions. It reflects poorly on those of us that go the extra mile for our customers and can provide the correct answers.
You can help us (techs) by providing as much info as you can right at the beginning of the conversation and asking for it to be acknowledged... but if the tech doesn't listen or acknowledge your info ...by all means ask for a supervisor.
Most of all stay calm and collected, we do have an " eject this ***-hole button ".
The techs that answer your call live in a " cube city " while at work, and unfortunately, do no have a chance to work with as may devices as the techs that are in a repair store.
Question ...have you done a Profile and PRL update on your phone ?

hi to all evo 3d xda members i just need i little help with my problem,, this is what happen today,, i buy a htc evo 3d brand new in box but when i tried to activate in sprint store they says is bad esn i buy from craigslist ,, and the same time i call people who flash sprint phones to boost and they say they do for 190$ first month free i see a few evos flashed to boost and works good but i dont know if evo 3d works the same or if this people can really do it ,, thanks for the advices in advance
It is possible to do, but it's also illegal. I suspect you wont be getting much advice from these forums.
Maybe search a little in the Evo forums for a guy who used to do it and PM him.
Get your money back for the phone.

You're a victim of Craigslist. Who ever sold it to you must've stole it or something and sold it to you. Get your cash back. Next time call the seller get the hex number then call sprint and check it b4 you buy

Contrary to popular belief, it isn't illegal. What's illegal is copying somebody else ESN/MEID and stealing their service with it. Copying an ESN/MEID that you already own is not illegal.

Hate to state the obvious, but contact the person you got it from and get your $ back. Tell them that they have 24hrs to contact you before call the local PD. The EVO 3D is well into felony theft levels. Probably not something they'll want to mess with.
Who in their RIGHT mind would buy a phone off of CL w/ out first calling to make sure it can be activated??
Just do what they did put it back on craigslist and sell it to some unsuspecting person. Just kidding don't do that.

I'm damn near ready to flash my evo 3d and my other evo to boost since Sprint still has no useful 4g in the Metro Detroit area.

Hello,
CL really is the Wild West. Every Phone I have sold, including my EVO 4G, I have urged the interested party to meet me at the Sprint Store and Activate it right then and there. For those who choose Metro PCS (who seem as though the will Activate anything) or Boost, at least they know they can go back to Sprint if they choose.
I am really sorry for both 3VO Buyers getting stolen or somehow misappropriated Phones. It makes it that much harder for legitimate Sellers to get their Phones Sold.
Cheers,
JJ
does it have a bad esn cause its been lost or stolen or just shows not clean for activation and attached to someones account? you can check on checkesnfree.com if its been reported lost or stolen PM me i may be albe to help you out.
still noone able to verify it can be flashed to boost yet?

maybe he just could not keep up his sprint bill!!
so either help this guy out with the info he needs or don't post useless information i love xda but there are a bunch a wannabe
lawyers&prosecutors on here always assuming some one
is trying to do something illegal,selling a phone that
sprint has blocked the esn on for not fulfilling
their contract is not illegal,and if the truth be told the OP knew this and does not want to be or can not be with sprint and just wants to flash the phone to a cheaper unlimited plan,so if you are going to post in his thread at least try to
be of some help instead of insisting he return it!!

That is incorrect. Even if you own the ESN that you want to change it to, it is illegal. That doesn't mean people don't do it, but it's still illegal. Modifying that part of the phone is a federal offense.
ok I know changing/mimic'ing an esn is illegal as per the fcc regulations but do you actually "change" the esn when flashing to another carrier that doesn't use contracts and whatnot? cricket, boost, etc.
hey guys i recently bought an evo 3d and i want to know hot to flash to boost and transfer info from my evo 4g.... can anyone help, is it possible???

Call again and tell them to give it, it is your phone, it is your property. Tell them someone has a gun pointed to your head and you need it or they will kill you.
But seriously, just call back til you find a nice operator.

If you bought from Best Buy, it will be printed out on your paperwork. Mine was.
Call and say that your phone is not allowing you to get a data connection. They will walk you through getting it reset and they will give you the msl in the process to do the restore.

I just literally called now spoke with a Brandy(sp) and got the msl for my photon and my sons epic which neither I own outright.
I would try back again and like stated in the thread if needed lie and say you need it for developing purposes.
I just asked for the msls and was given them. no questions asked
Tell them you didn't like it and are going to sell it and you need the MSL to try and activate on Cricket.
The first time I called they said I couldn't have the number while I was still under contract. They said if I really needed the number then I had to pay the 200 dollar cancellation fee. I said no thanks, I don't need it that badly. I hung up and called back up and asked the new rep who was more than happy she could assist me.
Get your MSL EASY....
I work for Sprint and worked at a call center for sprint in the PAST!! all you have to say is my phone is not working and was told that I need to MANUALLY PROGRAM the phone, they will tell you to type ##*****# (the * are your MSL ...) then your PHONE number then your MSID... most of the time they will try and get you to just update the profile and just tell them it didn't work...
That's it!! VARY EASY!!!
give me a thanks if that helps...

I dont believe him, I contacted him and he said
"It is not impossible. I have sold 3 on ebay already and I have one that I own myself that is flashed to boost. If you are interested in buying one please contact me if not then have a great day"
I have flashed HTC Incredibles, Evo's, Shifts, and Galaxies, but the 3D is out of the question.
Why is the 3d out of the question?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
The 3D has been flashed to other carriers.
I've seen a few shops here selling 3D's on a carrier called Cricket. Not sure about Boost but I don't see how it's out of the realm of possibility.
The 3D should be impossible because Htc made it so once a scan For ESN and MEID locations start that it will hide it automatically. I forgot the encryption type they use but I know you can't scan it, (google it if u don't believe me) so only way to zero out the esn is by manually finding it by looking through trillions of esn and MEID locations.
Therefore it can only mean is fake he claims he has sold but has no history of selling any.
Trust me if that were possible I would be one of the first ones to find out because not even in download mode I'm I able to scan for locations.

Cricket is possible because they accept the bad esn and enter it in their system but to change to Boost Mobile will not work since u need to clone a phone into it.

I can confirm what they said above, call sprint get them to do an hlr refresh (reset, reload, etc....) and that should do the trick. I've even heard of people doing it over sprint chat on their website. I literally had the EXACT same problem and this did the trick.
Contact sprint however you'd like, and ask for an hlr reset. They'll ask you to turn off your phone and pull battery for 2 minutes. (if they dont have you pull your battery, they didn't do it on their end)
I never had to pull my battery, only reboot the device.

Maybe I'm wrong but, its called a "CHLR" just called and haven't roamed yet. I'm waiting so I can make a test call.
Edit: Well just went into roaming after the chlr reset and I'm still getting the Verizon msg.
