I did a trade here on XDA for my wife's Evo (which she loves) but it seems that the person that owned it before me flashed it to boost mobile. I really have no clue about anything when it has to do with flashing carriers as I've never had to do it.
The phone works fine except she can't send or receive texts with out some sort of attachment (a little annoying attaching a pic to a text when I just want to send a simple text). Also occasionally when she makes a phone call it will tell her to call boost mobile.
The person that owned it before me relocked the phone and left it rooted.
My question is...
Can I unlock it and flash a stock rooted Sprint ROM? Will that get rid of any boost mobile traces. Or should I just take it to Sprint with my pants jacked to my tits druling and act like a retard?
Happy wife... happy life.

Try this.
1. Write Sprint PRL back to the device.
2. Dial ##786# from the dialer. Enter the SPC (you probably set it to 000000 after flashing. Hit menu in the upper right corner and go ahead and reset.
Reboot the device. You should see the hands free activation pop up upon the next reboot.

nice! let us kno how it goes
I haven't had much time to research this but my wife's Evo has the 1.5 hboot. I was told by a WELL respected "recognized dev" to root, s-off, custom recovery and flash a Sprint ROM and all traces of boost mobile will be gone. With the 1.5 hboot it seems I'm kinda screwed.
If I'm wrong about the 1.5 hboot you'll have to excuse me. I've been out of the HTC scene for a while.
Am I wrong about the 1.5 hboot being unlockable?
Edit. My wife took it to sprint when she first got the phone and I think they updated it. Bastards!

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 ?

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..

Had this same issue occur on my EVO4G, back in the day. Basically when they first were new. Messed around too much and somehow lost my WiMax keys. Since then I believe they've come up with several ways to repair the issue. What I did then was RUU back to factory, and start the whole root process over. That got my WiMax back.

Reset to factory RUU using the supersonic RUU utility, on the hboot screen it still says s-off and revolutionary at the top...Sole Conslusion is that this phone, per revolutionary CANNOT be unrooted, now that i have the bone stock rom on my evo, the 4G doesnt work, i know this because on the stock evo rom, while searching for 4g you get in the top left part of the screen it states "4G!" which means there is no 4G, well that little symbol is not on the top the screen in either my new rom or the stock rom, stating something is wrong with my 4G...i think i have a unique situation that i need to be fixed...and i cannot find a fix for this
somebody bump this, i think i have a unique situation

That happened to me at some point. Try setting your roaming option to Sprint Only, then toggling Network Mode to CDMA only then back to LTE/CDMA. That fixed it for me. Hope this helps.
sorry delete
That didn't fix it :/ any other suggestions? Sprint already reset data on their side.

After this process hit the symbol for menu on screen near the top right corner. This will do a restore, this is where it gets tricky. Because, presumably, your data profile is missing an active profile. This is an issue.

From there, your phone will do a hands free activation, if this fails, go to your dialer, hit ##3282#, go to edit mode, enter msl, go to first menu data / data profile tab, make sure Active profiles is set to 1 and all selections except for home address have been filled in. Back out completely to home screen. Go to settings, system updates, profile update.

I got that to successfully work.. but it still is stuck at 1x afterwards.
Have you tried putting it on cdma only and leaving it?
You may have to turn mobile data off then back on afterwards

I had a customer having the same issue from day one with the phone. It slowly became an irritation for them over the last month, couldn't believe they put up with it. I increased tower priority, set it to sprint only, did a recovery, etc. Nothing seemed to work, I'm so use to a quick fix I never checked the settings. His was completely blank, no root, no custom roms etc. Just a bad activation

Just flashed CM 10.1 and Gapps and upon first bootup it's asking me to activate. Do I need to activate or can I skip it?
I installed Meanbean before this and it didn't ask me to activate so I'm a little confused.
Thanks!

If I recall right, when deck very first built CM10, people got the activate message and it actually really borked a couple phones. There's even big red bold type in the OP referring to it. But that was long ago, and not on 10.1
From my Evo LTE, yup.
