Well I s-off and rooted the phone however now my phone is not working. I try to make a phone call and it says error #16 switch 237. If someone tries calling me it just goes straight to voicemail.
1) Make a call and stay on the line til sprint picks up
2) Have another cell phone/home phone to receive a call from the sprint rep that will help you.
3) They will do everything with no questions asked, voila.

If you don't have another phone no need to trip, they don't require you to have a 2nd phone they just prefer it.
Reboot your phone and let the handsfree activation complete then goto menu, settings, update phone, and update the profile. Now your phone works.

Because you can't connect to mobile network.

Even when I can't connect to the mobile network because of an error I can still update prl and profile.
tapa tapa tapa
just fixed mine..
*228.. wait till sprint answers.
let them push whatever they do
reboot phone.. make a call .. done.. next, update profile. now u got 3g back.. done.
I tried master resetting the phone putting in ##786#, using the msl code, nothing. I called Sprint and they couldn't solve it. I tried *228 too,that didn't help it. I'm gonna try RUU'ing the phone next to see if it will work.

Mine made it through handsfree activation without issue, and I haven't had any of these problems..... Guess I got lucky, or just beat the rush.
So after calling into sprint (my E3D had the same Error 16 problem), apparently the Error 16 is a new security feature that is triggered by some change in the way the phone connects to the network. Some software changes can cause it (as can a ##RTN# apparently).
Not surprisingly, there's a bit of a hold time tonight to get through if you get the error message (about 12 minutes here). If you've got the error, call now and sit on hold -- they close in a little over 30 minutes.
Also, unlike other Sprint troubleshooting, call from the phone with the problem -- but have another they can call back on.
After I got s off, my phone automatically activated itself......then, when I made a phone call, sprint security intercepted my call, and asked me to verify my identity.....and then told me their system didn't recognize my phone!!! They told me to power down, then up in 30 seconds... Funny thing is that I was surfing with no issues prior to the call, ur I thought I'd share that with you guys.
Sprint has officially been put in the know!!!! Can u imagine all the 3D owners having these security breaches!!!! All coincidentally???? Lmfao!!!
I wish i would have known before hand that this would 16 my phone as mines a work issued phone so i cant just call in like a normal user. Is there a known local method that works to get this reset? If so please post the steps as im sure many others will encounter this problem. The error call does not hand me off to a rep, it just hangs up.
Same Here
I also couldnt make calls or text after flashing. I called Sprint gave them the error code (from failed text msg) She asked me to remove the battery and give her the ID code and in 2 mins it worked perfectly. I did not offer up any reasons for the problem and she did not ask. Couldn't have been easier. If one agent gives you a hard time or is clueless hang up and try again.

how in barnacliville do i do it!
##72786# should work and it wont erase your data...
##786# will reset the device and your data
##3282# and you can go to data profile, menu and then restore.
you need your msl for them all - i can help with that if you dont know how
or lastly you could call sprint haha
EDIT: you can also go to Home page - Menu - Settings - system updates - And then try update profile and prl.

What's *228 then?
I beleive it used to be used for hands free activation. I know it is still used to activate cricket phones but currently it does nothing for sprint phones. at least none that ive tried it on haha

Yes. It was all good. Check down the line in this forum area for a guy that posted a thread about his phone not working after s off. Same ****.
CAN YOU FREAKING IMAGINE HOW MANY EVO 3D phones nationwide are causing security interruptions, all coincidently?????? Sprint is like, " Those Damn XDA mother fu#$&%$!!!"
haha thats great. someone was making a comment earlier about calling htc and sprint and saying they did an ota and now they have s-off and are running android version - custom rom name- haha. it made me chuckle.
SOLUTION: You need to call Sprint (from another phone - 1.888.211.4727) and tell them you can't call or text and you are getting the error "SMS Error - Radio Interface Resource Shortage - Cause Code: 64, Error Class: 2" They wil refresh you on the network, takes about 5 mins. Hope this helps
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone having this issue after Revolutionary? I NEVER had this problem before and it started happening to me even before I put my own ROM on. I cannot send ANY texts. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem and what you did to fix it. Tried a wipe and reflash and still happening. Any ideas?
Also: Cause Code: 64 Error Class: 2
Your going to have to call Sprint. There is someone who asked how to manually do it, check the Q&A area for a thread called Manually reset or something like that.
I'dink link this to you, but I'm on the XDA App
Appreciate my help? Thank me
I'd get on the phone with Sprint, they probably can fix that easily. I'm sorry bud that sucks, I didn't have that problem and never have.

I guess I will have to call Sprint. I tried the first code and it didn't work. Maybe the others would have but I'm going to bed now and I may just have Sprint deal with it in the morning
Driving my crazy. Does it constantly when connected to the air rave. Rebooted that thing 20 times.
Sent from my HTC Evo 3D.
Same thing happened to me after rooting. I was also unable to make calls or send SMS. Got the error code 16 when trying to make a call. I stayed on the line and was connected to a Sprint rep who told me they reset my info which fixes the problem. Told me to turn my phone off for 30 seconds then back on. calls and sms working again.
Sprint Rep was on the ball and new what to do as soon as he started talking. I assume they got a lot of these calls in the last 12 hours.
I'm not rooted or attached to an airave and I've been getting this error since I bought it yesterday ..becoming more and more disappointed with this thing
sent from my DAMN 3D!!
it can only fix by contacting sprint
same thing happen when i got s-off, i just got off from chatting on sprint and they fix the problem i told them the issue and they asked me to turn off my phone and take out the battery then she asked me to turn it back on and and to dial this number 1888 546-0348 and then voice prompt said "your phone is now activated" and now its working fine
it happened to me too after I did s-off. I could not get my sms working and did reset and everything. I ended up flashing the stock image available here in the forums. I guess I will wait for the tool to get out of beta and if not just wait for htc unlock. OK fail on my part, I just checked this morning and my calls are still not working lol. I need to call sprint I guess.

Ok...so I know there are other threads...read them all about this and Ive tried 3 times with Sprint updating and changing the MID number, PRL, Data reset but I still cant connect to roam. There suggestion was to swap the phone out but if I do that and reroot wont I be back in the same boat? What fix am I overlooking here? Thx

Dunno here, but I'd give it another shot. After I rooted and got a signal 16, I just stayed on the line, followed the instructions given, and was back up and operational within 2 minutes.
Note, though, that Engadget had a post saying that they were going to be pushing an update to the Evo3D in the next couple of weeks. The story also had a suggestion that it may close off the S-OFF/Root hole that the Revolutionary team found.

I was having the same problem. I was forcing Roam using Roam Control and when I did I was unable to place calls and received a Verizon Error message. Also 3G roaming data would not work. I could only receive calls while roaming. Here is what i did to fix it and I think it may be a combination... I reflashed the ROM I am using (ViperROM 1.3) and it still didn't work. So at a complete loss, I called Sprint. The sprint support rep said they have acknowledged a problem with the EVO 3D not roaming correctly. She had me make sure that the Roaming was set to Sprint Only, not automatic. and then she had me power down and pull battery. Once my phone came back up, Roaming worked!! I'm thinking she did something on her end to make it work. Also the dev for Roam Control, MrGreg said that there have been a lot of reports that Root messes up Roam Control on the 3D.

Just to clarify, I wouldn't say that rooting affects Roam Control specifically, but it affects roaming altogether. This was a pretty typical problem with the original EVO as well. Sprint is usually able to fix the "unable to authenticate" problem if you give them a call.

Well I couldnt get it to work on viper, Helicopter or Joelz.....Im going to try synergy since it says it cleans up some of the root method....maybe that will help. I never once got a rep saying they knew there was a roaming problem...
Ok so I got roaming to work...I asked the lady at sprint to do the profile update and HLR reset then I asked for a ESN refresh....he supervisor then got on the line asked how he could help. After he gave the spill about them not promising roaming will work all the time I told him I don't understand how an EVO sitting next to my 3D could roam perfectly fine and mine not. He said he would refresh everything on their end including ESN. I left my phone off for a few mins and now I can roam perfectly fine!

Had the same problem and after multiple calls to sprint with no help, I figured I would try to reset the phone and do a hands free activation. After I did this, everything has worked fine and roaming/calls/text have been perfect.
Note you must know your MSL to do this and be on Sprints network. You can call sprint for your MSL, or if you have root/s-off you can download MSL reader from the market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.esccode.msl&feature=search_result
1. Go to data menu by entering ##3282# on the dialpad.
2. Click on "Edit Mode".
3. Enter your MSL # and hit "OK"
4. Choose "Data Profile".
5. Press your menu button on the phone and select "Restore" from the menu that appears. Then hit "OK.
6. Phone should reboot.
7. It should start hands-free activation.
Hope this helps.
I was getting this error. I called sprint, and they said it was an outage, it should be fixed in x, days, and told me I was entitled to compensation. They gave me a $25 credit for it. It's not a whole lot, but I'll take it.
I had the same problem...I did the Sprint Chat and asked for an HLR refresh, and that fixed it!
just do a sprint chat and tell them you have a error 16 they will tell u to hold on a min then they will tell u what to do and after that it will be fixed

Thanks I requested the HLR refresh and it worked!!!
I had the Verizon roaming authentication problem and made several calls to support with no meaningful progress (one rep told me to bring the phone to a store for an update). Then I chatted with a rep tonight and asked them to perform a CHLR refresh and reload my ESN. They had me pull the battery and the phone updated on reboot. Roaming finally works again.
I called and had a reset done and now I am stuck in 1x data hell roaming and not. Anyone else have that problem, I think I am gonna have to call back today and have them undo whatever they did.

Sprint store tech deactivated my ladys phone because he saw it was rooted. crappy i know. i unrooted it, and called to activate it and it wont even dial out, but gets ERROR Code 16.
Sprint says it doesnt even look like it was deactivated. But still it wont call out. I have talked to nothing but idiots at Sprint. Anyone have any advice.
Also they keep asking if its rooted when we get to the part in their script where my phone doesnt do what its supposed to. errrr. it boots as S-ON, stock rom
A lot of people were getting that code after we first got root. All I had to do was stay on the line and say we were roaming or something. Search and you should find a bunch of stuff.
Just stay on the line and you should be connected to Sprint. This happened to me after root. They didn't ask me anything. They simply need to reset the phone on their network.
it doesnt connect me to anyone. its wild.. i hear thats most people's solution, to get connected to a rep. but mine says contact them with the number provided? and hangs up

So, as the title mentions, I am unable to make phone calls or go through self service on my phone. I can still send texts over 3G/4G, and I've already RUU'd back to the latest version.
The error message I'm receiving when making calls: 'The number or code you are trying to dial is invalid' blah blah
Anyone else come across this issue?

try ##72786# and reset your data (this wont reset the phone) the phone will reboot and go through the activation process, profile update, and prl update. See if that works, could be a network issue though but thats a bit strange. Try changing locations to see if it helps

Yep, tried that. I actually took it into the Sprint store yesterday and they were stumped by it as well. I can still text and browse the internet, but no calls. We'll see what they have to say when I go pick it up in around an hour....
Thanks for the troubleshooting tips though!
Sprint ended up ordering a replacement phone so I should have it before the end of the week.
