My MSL code is not working. I both called sprint and used getspc.exe and they both gave me the MSL of 057191 and when I go to my phone dialpad and enter ##057191# nothing happens. I read on another forum that you can't do it from a skinned dialpad. I'm using Nexvision's Hybrid 3.35.04 and i think it has a touch skinned dialpad (dark gray/black, big buttons).
I've been using this ROM for months now and I love it. Everything is working great, no problems, just this.
Is there something else i could be doing wrong? I need this ASAP so i can "reset" my phone on the network to allow me to use the *611 dropped call thing some more.
I have honestly tried searching the archives and didn't find this.

Probably a dialer problem. I'd try installing various other dialers to remedy your problem.
I don't understand are you already in PST? Or are you trying to get there? If your trying to get there it is ##778# or ##778 send. You may need to erase your calls, you then enter in your MSL(just the six digits and no # symbol). You should not be using a dial pad to enter in your MSL while in PST it should be they keyboard.

This is true.
The MSL is your unlock code to EDIT values inside EPST. To enter EPST on Sprint, dial ##778# and send. When EPST opens, if you choose Edit, THEN you enter your MSL. MSL is not required to simply View EPST.
Thanks, but none of the methods are working
Thanks for the quick replies. I was just following the instructions of the Tier 1 tech guy on with me didn't seem to know what he was talking about, and apparently didn't. He was trying to get me to enter ##[MSL]# without hitting send, from the dialpad. He got all bent and had no clue what to do when it wasn't working.
I tried ##778 > send and also ##778# then send and neither one gets me into EPST. It just places a call and the female recording says "the number or code you dialed is incorrect...message 637." I also tried it without hitting send, nothing happens.
Another poster suggested i install nother dialer. How do i get back to the original dialer? Also, will i have problems getting my touch dialer back with smartdial working? I've always been hesitant to go changing dialers since I've heard about and had problems with getting smartdial to work once the switching shenanigans begin. TIA
##778# is the ## code for Sprint.
If it's not working for you, one of the following must be the cause:
1. You have installed a dialer not meant for CDMA phones and it has broken your functions.
2. You have not installed the Sprint carrier cab.
I'm also assuming you're using the latest 3.1.2 rom. If not, please post what rom you are using and also what dialer you are using.
Have you tried to directly run ..\Windows\EPST.exe ??
In the Windows directly try executing that or its shortcut. If it quickly loads and exits, then try a few more times before resetting your phone and trying again.
Solved! but still trying to "reset phone on network"
well, don't i feel like an "azclown." I was searching for the OEM dialer and came across this thread, in which i found the same issue being discussed and azclown had uploaded a touch dialer that fixes the problem! i love it when people not only answer a question, but also put the file right there in your face.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2255605&highlight=oem+dialer#post2255605
that dialer is basically the same as the one Nexvision had in the ROM i am using, but it has a blue accent (and ## codes work!).
However, now on to what my real problem was that i was trying to, as the Tier 1 rep put it "Reset my phone on the network" by either retyping my existing MSID or entering all zeros and then rebooting. He said that would allow me to get more dropped call credits. i'm referring to the *611, then just saying "dropped call" to get 2 minutes of credit, which i need to repeat a bunch of times, since with so many dropped calls where i used to live, i ended up going over my minutes.
I tried doing what the guy said, using all zeros for the MSID made it so that *611 didn't work and it tried to get me to activate my phone from square one. So i put the original MSID back and it still says I've gotten the limit for the dropped call credits. Anyone know what the guy means by "reset my phone on the network" and how i can do that? (sorry for the long posts) TIA
That ROM comes with a crappy dialer which has memory leaks on CDMA phones and does not support the codes or 911. Re-cook it with the stock dialer and install dcd's touch dialer CAB. Or you can cook it with the dialer's OEM folder from the latest dcd ROM.
So wait you were able to get in to your PST? As I said before you may need to erase your call history then dial ##778 then hit send.
yes, I got into the PST just fine after putting the other dialer on (i had also deleted my call history). i used the ##778# method. However, I wasn't able to "reset my phone on the network" (per sprint tech rep's instructions) so that I could get more dropped call credits. That was the real reason I was trying to do all of this. My minutes restarted today, so I'm just going to have to pay for an overage. Oh well.

Nonsense. You accepted that answer?
A lot of people, after running Revolutionary, have been getting the "Error 16, Switch ____ " automated message when calling any number but Sprint Customer Support. This is a 100% definite fix for the problem. The good news is that it's an easy fix. The bad news is that the fix has to be done on Sprint's side:
--------------
A) Listen to the Error message, and at the end of the message you should be transferred to a special department that specifically deals with and fixes this error message. They'll work their magic in less than 5 minutes and then your phone should go through Hands Free Activation and work correctly.
--------------
B) If at the end of the Error message you don't get transferred, call the normal 888 Sprint Customer Support number from a different phone Option 1 (for English) -> Option 4 -> Option 4. Tell Tech Support to do a "CHLS Refresh". After they do that, do a Restart on your phone. Hitting "Turn Off" from the power menu will just put it to sleep. After your phone restarts, it should go through Hands Free Activation correctly and update the Profile and PRL.
--------------
C) If your phone doesn't go into Hands Free Activation, download "MSL Reader" from the Market to get your MSL code, or just ask the tech on the phone for it. Then, open up the dialer on your 3D and punch in ##786#. Hit Menu -> Reset. Type in your MSL. Your phone will reboot and go through activation. After that you should be good. Try and make a test call.
Hopefully that helps! If a mod could sticky this, that'd be great.

A tech support person named Dawn and I found the fix last night when we couldn't get the number for the "special department". If you're curious as to why some people don't get transferred after the error message, it's because they're on an Employee referral plan, which are treated as employee accounts (Everything Plus plans). Those accounts go to call centers in Texas and Virginia only, while the "Error 16 department" is in Maryland.
Much appreciated for taking your time to write this buddy!
Like my help? Thank me
Called Sprint. The tech was very nice, but didn't really what error 16 was. Went through pulling out the battery and updating the profile, but neither method worked. It wasn't until I told him about the CHLS refresh that I read on the internet. He knew exactly what it was and went ahead and did it for my phone. Volia! the phone was able to dial out again! Thank you for all your help!
By the time I called today (about 5 PM) the rep I spoke to laughed as she guessed why I was calling today before even asking for any account info. She did the refresh immediately, So it appears that word is spreading of at least how to fix the "issue"...
Thanks for the tip ! having the sam issues here. already got my MSL code, but my problem is when I dial ##768# nothing happens just like a refresh of my dialer history .. also tried ##778# and and that brings up the Reverse Logistech support and i press Menu and reset on that and it says restore factory default so I went ahead and tried that and it rebooted and reset and the hands free setup activation did come on for that and so did the auto profile and prl update as soon a I booted back in but still a no go... im using the new Synergy evo 3d rom
any idea why ##768# seems to be inactive for me? thanks
Fixed it, you must have your phone off and the battery out for the fix to work. It didn't work for me the first time as I had to call from my phone, then pulled the battery.
Happily rooted now with tether.
Because I'm a moron. It's ##786#

They didn't do a CHLS refresh. . .didn't know what it was, but she did do a refresh. . and I THINK it worked. I did a test call. . .and then I made a call. but someone called me right after, and i believe that it rang once. . .and then all of a sudden I had a voice mail from them. . .MAYBE I accidentally sent the call to voice mail. . .I shall find out with more testing. . but for right now. .. I thank you!!!
Is there any way that this error can be resolved withOUT calling up Sprint, like via MSL hacking, and forcing it to HFA?
Is this possibly Sprint's way of detecting root? I had to call to fix this error too and the rep mentioned this is a new security feature on the network. Just can't find any info on this new security.
It took three calls to Sprint to get this done on my phone. It seems there is a small window of opportunity in which the phone must be turned off when the change is directed to the phone.
After the third attempt, all is good in the hood.
Thanks for the info, I have a good suspicion that without specifically asking for THAT refresh this might have been a much more drawn out process.
Id like to add that I had the same problem after rooting. No calls or texts were failing error 97 class 3. I called sprint and preformed the above steps and got me fixed in a few mins. About a week later (and several roms) my texts started failing again with errors 97 class 3 and error 64 class 2. I called sprint again and they got me all fixed up,(for now anyways.) Has anyone else experienced problems after their first call/fix to sprint.

Never heard of those errors dude.
The refresh is actually a CHLR refresh, you also want to ask them to refresh OMA-DM which will push the reprogramming through the network for your device.
Edit: Also if you want to try to fix it without calling TSS or ATS then try a profile update. If that doesn't work then do the ##RTN#. For it to work you will need your MSL. Once you enter there ##RTN# press the menu key and hit reset, I believe it is. RTN works because it is a reset that actually wipes the programming out of the phone as well as resetting the device. It does completely wipe the phone. Consider yourselves warned.

I got this error out of nowhere today. I rooted a while back and had no issues. Today I tried to send a text and got the error 97 class 3. Then I tried a call and got the error 16. I didn't change anything on my phone today prior to getting the error.
I'll try the steps in the first post here and see if it works. I hope this isn't an error that will periodically recur after fixing it!

Yep, it worked! Thanks for this thread.
Has anyone else experienced what I did, where this error just pops up out of no where?
Thanks!
It just happened to me today after flashing CeanROM 2.5, however the phone worked for over a day after the flash then I got the error out of no where today. Strange, but a call to Sprint fixed it.
Maybe they detect a phone provisioning and triggers this "error 16"

Hi. I sent my rooted custom aospCMod Optimus V to my cousin as he wanted to take over my account. He says he's having problems changing the phone number to his area code. Will the phone have to be put back to stock just to change the number? Cheers. Ed
stock, or stock-based, like harmonia.
have him make a nandroid backup before flashing the froyo-based rom.
after froyo is installed, the ## menus in the dialer will work to activate, and so will the activate.apk
once the phone is activated and working with the new number, restore the nandroid if he wants to keep using aospCmod.
that rom is a little old... but it did work pretty well for me back before blarf came up with the IHO cm7 variant.
Thanks. Will have him do that and post how it goes. I also forgot to mention I changed the PRL. Will that be a problem too.? Thanks. Ed
the prl should be fine. good luck, should be relatively painless.
Got everything back to stock and now says "service is not available". Any suggestions? Thanks.
Still working on this. I am trying to make sure he doesn't have to mail this back to me. Tried reflashing stock ROM but the same "service not available". Shouldn't it launch a menu? The phone was working fine when he got it. This just started when he tried to change the number.
Should he unroot it?
Should he try Harmonia? Thanks.
Did he change the number before going back to stock? If he did they may have cancelled the service. That's the only way to get a new number as far as I know.
Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk
unrooting or Harmonia won't help.
it's possible data service is down in his area, it won't provision without a data connection. wifi probably won't work for that. vm is well known for data problems.
if his phone is programmed right with the new number, and vm set up his account on the phone, then his voice and sms service should work regardless of the data being available.
making a call to someone is a good test. *vm isn't, that works whether activated or not.
if voice is working, the phone is programmed, but it'll have to stay on stock ROM until it gets a data connection to provision 3g (it'll only show 1x at best until activate is run successfully.)
It is fixed.
He had it all back to stock and still nothing. Get getting "service unavailable" when trying to activate. Virgin actually helped him out. Here is what they sent and it got him up and running,,,,
Thanks for contacting Virgin Mobile Customer Care.

Nice!
Sent from my LG-VM670-CM7-BobZhome-Minimal Magic Full Morph.
excellent.
that's why it had to be on a stock or stock-based froyo rom like harmonia.
the gingerbread roms don't have the ## menus in the dialer, so no way to manually change the numbers. when you call vm to activate, they always have you enter the ##virgin# in the dialer and change those two settings and reboot.
glad it worked out!
I put the TeamHackSung ICS 6.5 rom on my Fascinate, and have found that if I dial *228, once the call connects I'm left without a dial pad...and thus can't access the activation process.
Anyone else notice this, or is it just me?
tap the home key, phone icon, return to call in progress, then the dial pad icon. its a known glitch on ics roms.
Didn't work. After pressing home and then the phone icon, I tried both "Return to call in progress" and "Use touch tone keypad", but both just returned me to the call without a dial pad nor button to bring it up.
actually dont hit return to call in progress, just select use touchtone keypad...you might have to do it twice.

No, still not getting it. After hitting home and then the phone button, my screen shows three choices: Use touch tone keypad, Return to call in progress, and Add call. The first two just return me to the keypad-less call in progress. "Add call" does in fact give me a keypad, but the tones it generates are not heard by the call in progress. I tried hitting "1" and then the call button from this point, but it just went back to my home screen. I then had to hit the phone button, either of the first two options to get back to the activation call, and then the "Back" button to hang up.
If I don't hang up in time, my phone gets completely deactivated...no phone or 3G capability, meaning that I can't even dial #228, never mind pressing "1" after dialing it, but fortunately rebooting the phone restored the activation.
I've never been able to use *228 on any MTD rom. It does all the same stuff you mentioned. So long as your connection is working, I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah but Option 2 from *228 is a good thing. You have two options, but I'm only going to bring up one since it's the easiest.
*22890 ---> This will program/activate your phone.
*22891 ---> This will update your roaming capabilities.
No need to hit other buttons after dialing. Let it finish, and reboot your phone.

You can always do *228,,,,,2 The commas are pauses. The screen will say that the updated roaming was not successful, but the message says it is. You can also replace the 2 with a 1 to do activation (however it's not needed if you have data as others have suggested).

Did you see my post on the first page, it seems easier.
I did see your post, but that option doesn't work for my phone for whatever reason.
I only have 500 anytime minutes, this is usually enough for me, but I've been taking many interviews this month. I only have 15 anytime minutes left and I have 9 days left on my cycle.
This prompted me to try and get Sprint WiFi calling working. When I approve my access point, and the address for it, it keeps saying "network connection error. Please try again" and it never works.
So I gave up on that, and tried integrating my Google Voice services with my phone for free VoIP calling. For some reason the app is only letting me text with it. This guide tells you how to make calls with Google Voice from Android: https://support.google.com/voice/answer/168520?hl=en but I am not getting the dialog screen asking me if I want to make calls with my Google voice. Whenever I call a contact it just auto rings with the normal dialer without asking.
As you can see from this picture I screen capped, my sprint recognized I have both Google Voice and WiFi calling enabled as services. http://imgur.com/qIirVrG
Not sure if this matters. But I soft bricked my phone and had to use the factory reset guide. That worked great, I even did the RTN Sprint reset to get my Sprint Spark apps back. I do currently have my phone rooted with Xposed and Tweaksbox installed.
Any ideas?
this is just a copy/paste from another thread I posted in, this fixed my WiFi Calling issues
I had an issue getting WiFi calling to work out of the box, here's how I fixed it.
- Forgot WiFi network I was trying to connect to
- Log onto my Sprint account and remove WiFi calling from my plan (click "Change my Services" from the drop down menu associated with the G3 then select the "remove" text next to VWDOM0 - Domestic Voice Over Wi-Fi Unlimited)
- Wait a few minutes and keep an eye on your phone; you'll receive a pop up saying "Changes Saved" or "Profile Updated". Something like that
- After I got the pop-up I entered ##SCRTN# in the dialer (phone will reboot and update profile)<----- (I have seen where ##UPDATE# works as well so maybe try both)
-Once my phone booted up and settled in I entered the WiFi Calling menu through the dialer app; I signed into my home network and went through the activation process to add WiFi calling to my phone
It worked for me after that. However it recently stopped working for me (last night) and all I had to do was enter ##UPDATE# to fix it

On a side note, Google Voice is making me rage. Google Voice provisions your carrier to accept Voice Over IP (VoIP), and whenever it tried provisioning it always said "network error". I uninstalled it, logged into my Voice account and disabled it from my Sprint phone, but it's got like a zombie network process still trying to provision it. Once every hour or so a message pops up that says "network error" and it wakes the phone and it won't go back to sleep unless you press "cancel" on the error message. Pretty enraging. Rebooting the phone doesn't make it go away either.
Oh well, I might be RTN resetting my phone in the near future.
EDIT:
Here's a screenshot of the network error. Is there any way I can figure out what process is displaying this error?http://i.imgur.com/99idKL1.png
I was able to fix my "Network Error" dialog box waking up my phone with an RTN reset.
Although I tried all of "fergie716" steps to get WiFi Calling working multiple times, and it still doesn't work. Sigh....

Do you have the Sprint boot up screen? If not, read #25 of this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54912191

Also in that same thread I linked, you'll find out how to get your MSL. I think its in post #3.

I only have 500 anytime minutes, this is usually enough for me, but I've been taking many interviews this month. I only have 15 anytime minutes left and I have 9 days left on my cycle.
This prompted me to try and get Sprint WiFi calling working. When I approve my access point, and the address for it, it keeps saying "network connection error. Please try again" and it never works.
So I gave up on that, and tried integrating my Google Voice services with my phone for free VoIP calling. For some reason the app is only letting me text with it. This guide tells you how to make calls with Google Voice from Android: https://support.google.com/voice/answer/168520?hl=en but I am not getting the dialog screen asking me if I want to make calls with my Google voice. Whenever I call a contact it just auto rings with the normal dialer without asking.
As you can see from this picture I screen capped, my sprint recognized I have both Google Voice and WiFi calling enabled as services. http://imgur.com/qIirVrG
Not sure if this matters. But I soft bricked my phone and had to use the factory reset guide. That worked great, I even did the RTN Sprint reset to get my Sprint Spark apps back. I do currently have my phone rooted with Xposed and Tweaksbox installed.
Any ideas?

Just so you know, Google Voice is not a gateway for free voip calling in itself. It is simply a feature server that sits between you and Sprints core network that adds enhanced functionality.
I do believe that calls over Sprint's VoWifi app are unmeasured, so this is your best bet if you are trying to save minutes.

Good to know. I feel like I've done literally everything trying to get WiFi calling working though. RTN resets with my MSL, multiple ##SCRTN# and ##UPDATE#. I'll chalk it up to my phone being rooted, I can't think of any other reason. I'll just wait for the bootloader to be unlocked for custom roms. My anytime minutes being out is only a minor inconvenience too, I almost never go over 150 anytime in a month, just so happens I've been out of work and been doing many phone interviews, which maxed my minutes. Luckily I landed a job, and my cycle resets in 6 days now.

I've had issues with Google Voice (And Wifi calling) and the only thing I was able to do to get it to work was call sprint and have them remove the services from my account from their end. I waited about 15 minutes and when I re-added them, I didn't have any more issues. For Wifi Calling, I did an RTN reset after the 15 minutes, and for Google Voice, I logged out, cleared app data and uninstalled, then reinstalled after waiting Maybe give that a try. I was rooted as well FWIW.

No, it just says "network connection error please try again" in the notifications bar. But it never connects to work.
