[Q] How to reset the radio? - Motorola Photon 4G

I need to reset my radio, since it was stucked in the low wimax speed, most of the time 2xx kbps, very slow. I know that I need to dial ##3282#. However, then what? I used to use evo 3D, and it has the reset menu.

Do you mean the *#*#4636#*#* then Phone Information, then "Turn off Radio" and hit it again to turn it back on after?

w0lf215, Thank you very much for your reply. This one only turns off and on the radio, the ##3282# (##data#) should reset the radio. However, I just can't find the menu.

You're looking for ##786# and your MSL number when you reset the provisioning.

##786# resets the phone the the data. You need either ##3282# or ##72786# and you also need your msl to do this. Using ##72786# should just ask for your msl and then ask if you want to reset. This option only reset the data/radio of the phone. ##786# will reset your whole phone and wipe it clean.

Thank you very much for your help. Yes, ##72786# should work.

No problem man. Hope you get it working again.

Data reset a must

I'm on my 3rd and hopefully last 3D. All 3 of them 3G sucked right out of the box. I tried the tricks of changing Home and Roam settings but that really didn't do much but slow down upload speed. Out of the box they all had download speeds of like 130kbps...bad experience. After reprovisioning and resetting data my d/l is from 795-1055kbps. This was the same result on all 3 phones! Here is what I did, may be overkill, but i'm totally happy:
##72786#
select edit and enter MSL
select menu and then Reset
After phone goes through "hands free activation" and your back at your dialer, enter this:
##3282#
select edit and enter MSL
select data profile
select menu and select Restore
After your rebooted and back at your home screen go into settings/system updates/ and update your profile. That's it, hopefully you see some improvements!

No problem...glad it worked for you! Not sure if you're into Sprint NFL or Sprint NASCAR but now they will open up. Before doing this it would tell me I had to put it into airplane mode to reset data...but it would never work!
2 questions:
1) How do I find my MSL?
2) Will I lose any of my apps or important data by doing the above?

Call into customer service to get MSL#
Or check the development section for a "program" that finds it within your phone fore you
*its easiest to just call in and get it*
And no, no apps or app data will be deleted that I know of.. op would have to confirm this but I've done this a few times with no ill effects

Exactly what nate420 said, you won't lose anything and it's easiest to just call Sprint for MSL if you're not comfortable with CDMA Workshop.
One thing I'm not sure about. ACCOLC setting on this phone is 5. It was 6 on the last phone, and it's 4 on my EVO 4G. What is ACCOLC showing for you guys?
Confirmed to work! Saw great improvements from before. Thanks for this!!

My ACCOLC is 2 I changed it to 0... No difference I'm guessing it has to do with your area or prl?

Ive noticed on some phones under evdo preferred mode its set to cdma only and some set to auto. Mine was set orig to cdma only but changing to auto drastically boosted my speeds for 100kbps isn to 1500+

Input your MSL code.
If you have temp root, download msl reader from the market (it's free) and doesn't require a phone call. Worked for me.
Didnt do **** for me.
Called sprint was advised that as of March the 1st that they are no longer giving the MSL unless you are out of contract....

[Q] MSL Antenna Hack

So, I went into the Sprint store and I sweet talked the girl at the store to give me my MSL for my phone.. is there a way i can change my antenna PRL like you use to on the HTC EVO and similar phones to get the 3G hack?
What are you talking about "3G hack"?
I imagine we'll be able to eventually...I guess you could try flashing PRL if you are rooted and have the CWM Recovery flashed. Not sure if possible while bootloader is locked still.
Do you mean the data hack to bypass the proxy server?
If that's what you are wanting to do go to the dialer and type ##3282# and click multimedia and then click menu and edit change both IP's to 0.0.0.0 and both ports to 0.

For anyone else wondering what this is for, Sprint downsamples and caches images going to/from phones, and this disables that.

Is there a way to do this Hack with the Photon if I have the MSL of my Phone?
Also is the EPST capable of doing it, or do I need to downgrade my EPST to 2.1?

Not doubting since doing that increased my speeds, but where did you get this information?
Just curious where you read that.

Do an XDA search on "sprint http proxy." This has been well-documented and discussed countless times with numerous other Sprint phones.

How do I get my MSL number on Android? I tried using "getprop ril.MSL" but that doesn't return anything. Thanks in advance.
I just traded my EVO 4G for a new Photon.
Would my MSL be the same, or does a new phone mean a different MSL?

There's a MSL reader on the market that requires root or you can call Sprint CS.

New MSL. Root and get it with the market app.
Even though I'm rooted, the new MSL reader still doesn't work since it says that the /dev/smd0 folder is missing.

Call CS and ask them if they can please give you your MSL Code, If they try to say they cannot give it to you, tell them that your not getting service and you need to restart your antenna keys. Works 9/10 time if not just hang up and call again.
I think the op is asking if its possible to get in to diag mode and use qpst to write a new prl such as the 000001 prl that makes the phone run off Verizon towers. The proxy hack works sometimes but it doesn't really help if you have ****ty coverage like I do. Also it disables Sprint TV. So if anybody knows the code for diag mode that would be great.

Stuck on 1x need help.

Ok iam on infected ROM . I have been stuck on 1x for like a week now I have had no 3g.does anyone and I mean anyone know how to fix it . I have the hboot 1.4 and don't want to have to get a new one

What PRL? Have you tried updating your PRL?
Try calling sprint and ask for a reset.
Also check ur phone in another city (maybe ur hanging around in one area?) I lost 3g at home when lightning struck a tower and only had 1x for a week.
Ohter times, i have 1x and i just have to turn mobile network off and on to get it back.
Check your prl. I know I was stuck on 1x for a while because a prl borked my 3g. Thankfully I'm usually on wifi anyway.
I was stuck on 1x for about 3 months and it was pissing me off. I went in to sprint and they did a reset and it fixed it. You can have sprint reset it over the phone but you have to call from a different phone.
U can reset it yourself by doing this just make sure you are in a decent service area.
##72786#
select edit and enter MSL
select menu and then Reset
After phone goes through hands free activation and your back at your dialer, enter this:
##3282#
select edit and enter MSL
select data profile
select menu and select Restore
After your rebooted and back at your home screen go into settings/system updates/ and update your profile.
Make sure you are on a Rom that has the ability to update your profile.
I got stuck on 1x once and this re provisioning worked and I didn't need to call sprint.

This is effectively the same method sprint will have you do when you call for the reset. Some times it still doesn't work without them doing something on their end though. Also it's unlikely he knows what his master subsidy lock code is. If you don't know it call sprint they will have you do this and tell you what your MSL is.
Ok . I have done all of everyone's ideas . I am on prl 21083 .

Alright that worked. I flashed the 21083 prl and the 21081 prl in the same recovery session then did ##72786# then rebooted and it went through the hands free stuff and let it update the prl from the 21081 to the 21083 and bama I got my 3g back. Thank u for it help and suggestions

Awesome! I have been stuck on 1x for days now, went to the Sprint store twice, and called customer care 4 times with no luck. My speedtest results were .12-.13mbps average, now they're .75-.85mbps which isn't the best (Verizon is a constant 1.5mbps here) but after looking at the cost to switch to Verizon and what i'd be losing, I'm so glad you guys got my back! Thanks!

Evo LTE data will not activate

So I bought an Evo LTE off of Craigslist, and called Sprint to ensure that the MEID DEC was clear to activate on the network. I was given the green light by them.
Unfortunately, I'm only able to activate Voice and SMS when on my line. I've spent countless hours with Sprint techs trying to get the data to work but to no avail. We tried many different dialer codes and still no luck. One thing of note, they had the wrong MSL in their system for this phone. I rooted the phone and used MSL reader to find the right code but still unable to activate data.
FWIW, the MSL is 000000 and after doing some research I've seen that MSL is when the phone is flashed over to Cricket? But it's strange because I'm able to activate voice and SMS just fine, just no cellular data (wifi is fine).
Any ideas? At this point the person isn't being responsive for a refund and I might just have to write this off, but it sucks regardless.
Have you tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137826
Check it out you might need to do a complete wipe as stated in this thread in the last resource:
4. This is your last step before calling sprint (which i have never had to, this has always worked for me).
THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING IN DATA/APP AS WELL AS YOUR INTERNAL SD! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED SO MAKE A BACKUP

I hadn't tried the ##786# yet and it worked!!!!!
Thank you SO much for your insight.
No problem, be sure to thank the Op from that link that I sent you, he made that helpful guide that I have used myself a lot with my two replacements, anyways I'm glad you was able to get your issue resolved :beer:

Is "data" enabled?
In order to "root" you must unlock the boot loader which resets the phone to factory default. Every time I have reset my HAM2 I have had to call the carrier to resend APN information to the phone.

Well I called customer service and they told me that "roaming" needed to be enabled. I thought at first, I didn't want roaming charges but it needed to be enabled i guess. I didn't have to mess with APN. So everything is all good.
