So my phone all of sudden has been getting really slow data speeds. I'm talking 50-100 kbps down. It's not the area because I just compared it to my friend's Evo 3D while we in the same room and he was getting over 1 mbps. I already updated my profile, prl and data profile and it didn't make a difference.
If I take it in to Sprint repair, they're probably going to update the firmware and software right? I'm on HBOOT 1.4 right now and I definitely don't want HBOOT 1.5.

Did you make any changes to your phone before the slow speeds started? New ROM? New kernel? New radio? Also, if you keep your hboot S-off, it won't mater if they update it, you can revert back to 1.4. Updating it won't set you back to S-on.

Nope. My phone is completely stock, s-on, unrooted. Should I get s-off and then take it in?
If your phone is stock, call Sprint at *2 and have them send a reset to the phone. That would most likely correct your problem.

Well, it depends. Do you have intentions of rooting and flashing down the line? If so it's easier if you're S-off. If you don't, then it won't matter if you update. I'm still not very clear of Sprint's policy of working on phones that are S-off.

Just the basic settings in the phone. It would no effect any contact data, apps or such. It's the quickest fix for problems such as yours. It would even work with a rooted phone and likely all they would do at the Sprint store.

So I tried calling *2 and it just takes me to the Sprint Zone app.
You can do that from setting update profile. That all sprint do from there side.

Yea, this is what I just tried and it did help:

Try this...
##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
Update profile
Make sure you have a good data connection to allow hands free activation.

No offense, but seriously dude, you shouldn't be rooting a phone if you have this problem.
That will just raise the insurance for the rest of us.

After I successfully got s off on my phone and my wife's phone, when I first make a call it connects to sprint to activate the radio. My question is am I gonna have to do this every single time I flash a new rom or no? Just curious is all.
I doubt it, it probably has to do with cracking the bootloader. That's probably where the exploit was.
I have s off and root. No problems so far with tibacup, texts or calls. And I've yet to be connected to sprint pre call

Same here rooted and can receive/make calls/text without needing to contact sprint.
Your handset prolly failed the handsfree activation after you unlocked it so it dialed sprint for activation
It's Sprints new enhanced security. The rep on the phone told me it could be activated by a few things including hands free activation the phone battery getting low going out of service area. I didn't tell her I rooted of course.

If you are getting error 16, wait a long time and speak with representative, have them reset the service thingy. It worked for me after not being able to call.

S-OFF means you can install Superuser. Superuser lets root apps know you have root and they can send superuser commands to your phone.
Same here, calls didnt work - error 16 message. Connected to a sprint rep automatically and she asked if I changed anything on my phone recently, all I said was nope. Asked her why this happened, she said new security enhancements. She pushed a "fix" and said to power off power on and I should be good. Did that, S-OFF still there.... I am Golden.

I wonder if sprint is going to send HTC a bill! Sprints system resets at 1am(I just leaned this) so I had a rep on the phone talking about mountains for like 20mins, muhhaha! This never would of happened if they had unlocked our bootloaders!!!

Hey guys. I've had my EVO for a while and I've been flashing roms like a fiend, recently I've been stuck on 1x for a few days now. I switched to a stock based ROM and updated all my stuff. Called sprint and they reset my connection and its still on 1x. They want me to go into a store because they think its the phone. Any last minute ideas? Should I s-on or anything. Im also worried about them switching out the phones and me being able to root the new one.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
in dialer dial ##DATA# click edit mode enter you msl click data profile then hit the settings(?) button on the bottom of phone click restore reboot phone let it do its thing see if that helps
And if you do end up bringing it in, normally a fresh flash of a completly stock ROM will work, as long as you don't have a custom splash screen they shouldn't notice s-off.
They would try to do an update which will include 1.5 bootloader.( I've seen someone who did this and ended up with 1.5 boot, with s-off as a result, but who knows what was done to it in the store)
Go with the instructions above my post, worth a shot..

I'm stuck in a pickle where my phone won't roam anymore unless i go in to do some manual switching on things. From what I'm told the fixe is to ruu and re-provision to fix it. Of course though nobody is elaborating on exactly what the re-provisioning is? Anybody hook me up?

It's either activate device in the settings menu or call Sprint to have them re-add the phone to their system, basically start fresh from the networks perspective.

Ok so I'm having this same issue. I cannot get my phone to roam with data! I used the 11115 prl for a while and after the radio update I haven't been able to get my phone to roam correctly! I've done a full reset, reprovision, etc.... Nothing seems to be working! Help!
Yesterday I attempted to do a profile update and it failed. Since then, I've been periodically getting an error, a data call failure. In the past I've fixed this by resetting my data profile by dialing ##DATA# using EPST.
I rooted my phone (finally) in order to fix this, but when I try to use EPST nothing happens. I dial the code and nothing comes up at all. I've tried multiple ESPT.apk files and still nothing.
Has anyone seen this before?

I first tried it before I rooted, just to test it out. It didn't work then.
Then I rooted and flashed Haus' 1.22 stock ROM - no luck.
Then I flashed Flex's stock with goodies - still nothing.
Weird. So nothing pops up when you dial ##DATA# right? Doesn't prompt you for password?

Sorry about the @, Duce
Update: Just spent almost an hour on the phone with Sprint and they had no idea what was going on. They want me to bring the phone in to have them check, and possibly pay to get it replaced. I'm kind of upset that I may have to pay more money to get a replacement when it's the network's fault that my profile update failed.
I'm going to try a couple more things on my own before I give up.
Yep. Looks like I'm going to need to get a replacement.
Hi everyone: It all started last night when I tried to do a PRL update but accidentally hit Profile update...Now my data doesn't work! I took my phone to the sprint store to see if they can get it going and they couldn't.
They tried a prl/profile update and a hard reset its a no go, They also tried ##72786# code and the phone won't activate the MSL screen even ##DATA# won't work. They said they never seen this issue before and said I need a replacement (Refurb).
I don't want a refurb! Is there anything I can do to fix it...Im 100% stock with the new OTA update.
this also happened to me- I had to get them to order me a new one yesterday... Also from what they said, they still are sending out new ones as replacements here..

Activate Device
Mine was doing the same thing after a pushed PRL update...scratched my head for a while figuring it out. I used "Activate Device" in settings: it took a few tries but eventually showed results. Afterward, it allowed the profile update.
